Starting point is 00:00:06 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. WWE Royal Rumble 2022. What a disappointment. I'm your host, Brian. With me as always, my brother, Nez. What's up, man? Well, I wasn't disappointed. I mean, it was, well, I was disappointed with one, during the, the gals match, one of mine, one, one chick's.
Starting point is 00:00:47 I fell in love with came and went like she did last year too. We'll get to it when we get to it. But I just wanted to see the rumbles. That was pretty much all I wanted to see. I didn't really care for the matches. But with that being said, out of the single matches,
Starting point is 00:01:08 there was only two of them that I went, well, Becky Lynch and Dew Drop. man that was i just i feel sorry for due dropping me but they had they had no chemistry they yeah it just didn't work well with each other not at all and um i mean i love all four of them the muse uh maurice and edge and beth phoenix man i don't want to seem like oh come on get to the rumble yeah but i have to say any Sorry, female listeners, I have to say it, but Maurice is, man, she is thick in all the right places.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah, she is, but man, she is just no good in the ring. I heard something, I was reading something about she, I guess, because she hasn't been in the ring wrestling for a long time. She kind of is scared to take bumps now. Well, she shouldn't be doing ring action, just being a Mrs. White. Ben says get in there. You got to get in there. Yeah, I mean, she, I've said this before.
Starting point is 00:02:24 If it wasn't on this show, on one of the other billion shows we do, they hire them for the looks. I mean, not saying that they don't have the skill. They all have, they all got the skill. They wouldn't be there, but a lot of it is looks.
Starting point is 00:02:42 That's just my, that's just my opinion. She, you know, she did come in during the, the diva era so yeah i mean like uh eva marie i love her to death was she good in the ring no but was she just beautiful yes but even she would get somewhat better by now but i guess it's i guess it's just not in the cards for her i mean she does what she does she's not afraid to take a bump i mean she she'll do it it's just a little rusty and sloppy was she a good heel she's not good on the mic but
Starting point is 00:03:22 she's got that that little bitchy look Summer Ray she was we'll get to more her was the rumble gets going Brian has sent me this video and they were talking about all the mistakes that were going on some of them I caught and one of them they didn't they didn't mention we'll get to that but I didn't see the kickoff show I just never watched the kickoff show there there was no matches on a kickoff show oh there wasn't oh okay no because I said they had to have everybody available for the for the Rumble well then stop firing everyone before the Rumble you're gonna fire everyone wait until after the Rumble so you have a full roster male and female and then when we get to we talk about it
Starting point is 00:04:15 another one they fired in the past week. Oh, damn, already. I was hoping for Nyad Jacks to come tearing down the aisle, but that didn't happen. But, um, she got, she got the phone call. Oh, she did. She turned them down. Yeah, I, I did some digging. I was so just underwhelmed from the show.
Starting point is 00:04:38 So I kind of was, you know, reading some stuff and watching some YouTube videos. So I'll drop some things here and there. but yeah, according to her, she got the phone call and basically it was just like, no, I'm done. She thought they were calling her about the rest of her stuff that she never got. Oh, man, she should have just took that money
Starting point is 00:04:58 and who knows how long she would have been in there. Because, well, when we get to, we'll bring that up again, but really quick. Where was the St. Louis? Is this where it took place? wherever Randy Orden's from Yeah St. Louis It took place in the dome
Starting point is 00:05:20 At America Center in St. Louis, Missouri Or Missouri, whatever you guys want to call it. I only say that because in the long riders, some guys said Missouri and the other guys were saying Missouri. But I don't know how you said. I'm in California. Royal Rumble, 22. All right, the first match, I was kind of like again.
Starting point is 00:05:41 but I did like this match. This was for the Universal Championship match. Roman Rains, who's a champ taken on, or the head of the table, taking on Monday Night Rollins, the Monday Night Messiah, Seth F.N. Rollins,
Starting point is 00:06:00 or whatever the hell he keeps, I don't know who's making all these names up for him, but the architect, Roman comes out and does what he does. I do like the little graphics. They add computer. graph or something we had that but Roman standing there and then
Starting point is 00:06:15 the shield do-do-do I was like what wait what and then Seth came out in his shield gear and came through the crowd and I was like oh dude I got goose bumps I was like oh
Starting point is 00:06:33 will you ever see the shield again I would love it but probably not I don't think I heard mox I heard moxley's band from wwee so did you catch that uh what's the other announcer's name he's always making
Starting point is 00:06:50 mistakes saxon no uh there's another white guy um oh uh jimmy smith yeah him he was like yeah they were they were the shield yeah mox and seven and uh roman just destroying everyone
Starting point is 00:07:07 but then when michael cole said it he said ambrose set I was like, whoa. Some of my get yelled at. I mean, I caught that one, clearly. They did it during the week.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I think it was neither Roman. It was neither Roman or Rollins mentioned mox leave, and they said mocks. So I don't know if they're going off script or what, but. But I thought this was a good match. I mean, just to see Seth and his shield gear and to hear the shield theme song, which I love. I mean, I'm glad I got to see them in action a few times.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I went to a Monday Night Raw in Sacramento, and they came out to rough up the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, and Van Dam. They were in the ring. And then it was almost towards the end of the night. and then Sierra Hotel and all that kicked in. I was like, ah, yeah. And Roman and Seth came down the aisle. I was in.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Me and my son Eric were there. So we were like, oh, fuck, yeah. That was awesome when they came by. It was when Seth and Roman were the tag team champs. And Mox, Ambrose, whatever want to call him. He was the United States champion.
Starting point is 00:08:35 He came over on the next aisle. But I was happy Roman came now. We're like, ah, yeah. So I thought, I thought that was awesome. I still got my shield gear somewhere. But this match was actually pretty good. Seth, when he goes for it, he goes for it
Starting point is 00:08:54 because he was flipping and flying all around. And I never really paid attention to all the little straps and everything all over his gear when they all were dressed like that. But I was like, man, I mean, what if it catches on something or scratches somebody that you're wrestling because most of the guys are running around
Starting point is 00:09:13 with no shirts on. I was like, wow. But they pulled it off, man. I thought this was a really good match. Seth doing the single man shield power bomb. He slammed in Roman into the announce table.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Oh, man. The mind games he was playing. Laughing at Roman. He tried to do the shield, fist bump a few times. Yeah, but I mean, I just thought it was an awesome match. It was they were all over the place. Roman does what he does, but Seth is the high flyer.
Starting point is 00:09:53 He was in and out of the ring off the ropes, through the ropes and everything. I just thought this was an amazing match. I wasn't expecting much because we've seen this match before numerous times. But, I mean, I should you not. it did give me the the the the goosebumps when I heard that music and when I saw him coming out and I was surprised he came through the crowd I mean especially because that one that one pay-reviewed can't remember what it was when Roman went out into the crowd um him and hand him a mask and he put it on before he went why they would wrestle it
Starting point is 00:10:32 outside to the audience and then when he came back to the ring he took it off I was like hey man but he did he did end up getting sick at a not too long ago, but he's all right, but overall. Rollins should have had the blonde street in the hair. Oh, that would have made it, but he ended up getting, uh, it was, um, the Roman had him, um, what was the, I don't know, on the submission holder or something. I can't remember what they called it, but they were guillotine, 12.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I thought about when Roman had Yeah At the end Yeah And then Seth was Fading and Fading Did you think that
Starting point is 00:11:22 The ref What's his name Charles Robinson? Yeah Do you think that he helped it Oh by By putting Rollins hand on the rope
Starting point is 00:11:32 Yeah Yeah That was not the slickest thing I've seen But I mean I Yes, it just, I mean, I see what they were trying to do. It just kind of looked like he put his hand there instead of him dropping his hand on the rope.
Starting point is 00:11:52 But, I mean, but yeah, he pretty much just held him until he passed out. And it was a disqualification because I was like, okay. I mean, I knew he wasn't, Roman wasn't going to drop the belt. Yeah, I mean, I, I, I mean, I. I didn't like the disqualification finish, but I did like the way Roman was selling it, you know, screaming out. He's not, he's not letting me let him go. You know, he's making me do this. And then, you know, he gets the chair and then he just beats the shit out of him. He was like, he made me do this.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah, it was just, I wasn't like, okay. I mean, but he, what is what is? what was on um Roman shirt when he came out later he had him his new shirt it didn't say rain or whatever it said something on it
Starting point is 00:12:56 I look it up I can't remember what it was yeah I'm watching the scene right now when he power bombs him through the table that was an awesome spot they had when a Roman went for the spear and he jumped into a pedigree.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh, yeah. See, I mean, that's, that's what I loved about these guys, man. They, other than they know each other, they know everyone's mood. They know each other's moves. That was like perfect. It wasn't like, eh, kind of like, all right, good enough just to sell. It was like perfect. And I loved it.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Romans, Roman shirts, a needle mover. Yeah, I was like, oh, come on. I mean, who's coming up with these ideas, man. I still got my Roman rain shirts around here somewhere. But overall, I mean, yeah, he was disqualified, so we knew he wasn't going to, he wasn't going to drop the belt. So, but this match was pretty awesome. Oh, that's what I wanted to pull up. I had the order in which they came in.
Starting point is 00:14:11 All right. um on to the women's royal rumble i mean well in between they had all the the the the just crap shit that they do all the time and just nothing really i mean i don't like all the crap i'm not not talking about the commercials but all the build-up for stuff like the upcoming mass matches and everything and the little um of the recaps of what happened to lead up to this match and everything some are good and some aren't but I was kind of like eh but once we got to the the women's role rubble I was hyped but um did me where did it go I had it all pulled up but yeah but yeah we had to start this this match off with the bang
Starting point is 00:15:12 And, oh, my God. Yeah. The boss, Sasha Banks. She's supposed to be injured. What is she doing there? I didn't care, man. I was hyped.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I was like, oh, yeah. What the hell was her name in? Stupid hairdo. Costco Reeves from Mandalorian. I got my figure right here looking at me. Oh, man. she came out. I wasn't, yeah, I didn't even think, I didn't even expect her to come out.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I don't like that remix or whatever with her cousin. Yeah, I saw them perform that at WrestleMania when I was the last one I went to when it was Dallas. I was like, come on, Snoop. There's a few people I noticed they changed their music. I didn't even realize they changed the Sammy Zane's music. And that's right they did. I'm glad that Shinskay went back to his regular one.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I didn't like that one with the band and whoever was trying to rap or whatever. I was like when he was evil Shinskay. Yeah, I didn't like that. After the boss came out, then Melina, we ain't seen her in a while. She came back. I loved her back then. I love her now. She was, I mean, sorry, gals, but who we.
Starting point is 00:16:41 it was nice and thick she's put the couple extra little bounces in there before she went under the rope all right the video you had said they were saying it was a mistake because
Starting point is 00:16:56 Molina didn't last not even a minute in the ring she kind of got tossed over the top but then I watched it I don't know I guess you could say she did slip
Starting point is 00:17:11 but her feet slipped off and she doomed she fell out I blame Sasha she fucked it up I talked the whole rumbo she was she was she was jealous that's why she dropped down and did did Molina's little split thing uh the boss yeah so that was I was like hmm okay I mean I mean I like when they bring the people back that we haven't seen bring legends back or just regular wrestlers that we know and I was like wow that was fast if it if it wasn't a mistake then it was it was a waste yeah because she she's still wrestling I believe she wrestles for NWA she just I think recently wrestled for the title so she she's still doing this so she could have you know did more but there's they're saying it was a mistake
Starting point is 00:18:09 she wasn't supposed to be eliminated that quick. So, you know, it was what it was. She was a woman's champ. So it wasn't like she was just some scrub. They look good. Those will come later. Yeah. So the next one that came out after Sasha stood in the ring for a little bit,
Starting point is 00:18:31 and then Tamina came out. I liked it when she was in all black. I don't like this ring gear that she's rolling around in now. But hey, she's still with my ass. But I like when she comes out because she comes in and she's a bruiser. She comes in and then roughs up all little blonde girls and everybody throws them all over the ring. Because she was she was ruffle fools up. Her and Sasha Banks went in that for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:19:01 And then Kelly Kelly came out. That did not look like her. it was her hair it wasn't it wasn't the hair it wasn't blonde it wasn't blonde and whatever her however she did her makeup because i was like wait is that kelly kelly but but it was her um the little head scissors she did i mean it was yeah it did she kind of when she did it did it to me and she kind of like slipped out of it and tamina tried to sell it as best as she could but I mean, I don't think she's out there wrestling anymore. I know she's doing all the modeling things, but she's been in like every Royal Rumble for the longest.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I mean, since she's been gone. She always comes and she's everyone cheers when we hear her music. And I've always loved her. She is a former champ. And she came out and does what she does. She at least lasted for a while. And after that, Alia came out. she's nxte right
Starting point is 00:20:04 is that still the thing nxti i guess i don't know whatever yeah they're they're they're trying to the last couple weeks i've been trying to push alia so yeah i mean she she stuck it out for a while but
Starting point is 00:20:20 i don't i'm just i'm going on the list on on who came out i don't know uh on what order everyone got thrown out but um Then Liv Morgan came out. Beautiful. I love her. She's part of the Riot Squad.
Starting point is 00:20:39 But why were all those little tassels or whatever hanging off your gear? I think that would just be more of a distraction, if anything. Yeah. I'm a fan of Liv Morgan. And I think they're just wasting her. And they keep putting her in these situations where she loses and then she cries. and it's, I don't know. Yeah, I think, I think they just kept her just because.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Because I released everybody else. Yeah, they got rid of Sarah Logan. They got rid of Ruby Riot. But Ruby Soho, she's kicking ass out there. So good on her. And Sarah Logan, she's a new mom. So take care of your boy. Anyway, yeah, after, oh, and then, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:30 Queen Zelina all hail the queen. I was like, Ah, Zalina Vega. I love her and everything, but I was like, come on, Queen.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's a, ah, yeah, when they were all there, they were roughing each other up. I mean, they all do, especially,
Starting point is 00:21:48 uh, Zalina. She's really small. I never realized how small she is. Does she standing up next to someone who's tall? I think she's like five, four. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:59 she's really short. she came out after that Bianca Bel Air came out she was last year's Royal Rumble winner and then she got robbed at SummerSlam
Starting point is 00:22:11 but anyway I still think that hair's a distraction but she puts it to you so after her it was Dana Brooke I can take her or leave her
Starting point is 00:22:26 I mean she's yeah she's good to look at and everything but I think she's like just so-so in the ring. I know she looked like she took off a lot of muscle because she was pretty muscular before. Yeah, I did notice that too.
Starting point is 00:22:42 After her was Michelle McCool. It was good to see her, so I thought that was awesome. Then next was Sonia DeVille. She came out, but then just went and sat down with the other commentators. Because she had jacking on, jacking on. Jack it on. She's a general manager.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And check it off. She's an in ring performer. Yeah, she, uh, she would sit down. I hate Cory Graves. He just, he's just sucking everyone off. And, oh, yeah, what are you talking about? Here, sit down. Hey, Saxon, I'm talking to her.
Starting point is 00:23:20 And I was like, oh, someone just knock him out. I hate him. And yeah, I hate him because he's banging. What's her name? But I just hate him. Period. Anyway, after that, Natty, Natty, I love you. But I've noticed she just constantly gets hurt and always holding her mouth or anything.
Starting point is 00:23:43 She does what she does. I mean, she's good in the ring. She is a former champ. But she's, I think what makes me hate her. I mean, I don't hate her that gets on my nerves. That's dumb divas show, total divas or whatever the hell it was called. That ruined it for me. Maybe it's all scripted, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I kind of have a feeling that. That's how she's always bitching and complaining about something. But anyway. Yeah. This one was a surprise. Cameron, she came out to Brose Clay, somebody called my mama. Foncadactyls. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I was like, guy, we hadn't seen her in a long. Where the hell has she been? I mean, she's not wrestling or anything. I don't think so. But this is where it got stupid because she gets eliminated. Sonia decides to finally come in because she's beefing with Naomi. So she's like, let me let me go eliminate Cameron because they're friends. And Naomi comes out number 12 and we don't get a Funkidacto's reunion in the ring.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I mean, could have just gave the fans a little something. Yeah, because she was next. She was coming out right after her. But Sonny Deville jumped in, took the jacket. How the jackets? Corey, the jacket's coming off. I just hate his voice. What happened to him?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Why do you get to retire? Yeah. Too many concussions. But he has recently been cleared. Also, I'll get him to get his ass beat every week. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I wasn't too impressed with he he's just kind of average in the ring so I don't know if he'll end up getting in the ring I don't know if they just got him because he got tattoos all over him but I don't know Carmilla got him the job right that's why he's old he's still around because of hers
Starting point is 00:25:48 but yeah Cameron got tossed out like fast and then Naomi came out and I was like oh yeah no are you in your fellow funked at funk of that funk of that goes where's uh brodus clay is he still doing the he's uh yeah he's think he's still doing that but i think you i want to say he's in nwa oh okay i wasn't sure if he was wrestling i always see him on fox news and everything yeah he's i forgot what he goes by titus or something he goes by something else now yeah but uh Naomi came out this is where i was kind of like oh really
Starting point is 00:26:28 She's always The past few years She's like like Kofi She'll do something to fall out of the ring But not touch the floor or her feet are up still And then she finds some way to get back into the ring She fell out What's her name already got thrown out
Starting point is 00:26:50 Sonia de Ville got tossed already But when Naomi Naomi Naomi was in there for a while But I'm just talking about this because she like fell out of the ring, but her feet were still on the ring. But then Sonia DeVille after she got tossed, she ran over there, grabbed Naomi's hands
Starting point is 00:27:09 and then just pulled her out. I was like, oh, come on. It was fair. Jacket was all. So. Yeah, after Naomi, after she came out, but she was still in the ring during all this. Here came Carmela.
Starting point is 00:27:27 But she didn't just, she didn't go in the ring. She went over and blowing kisses at Coyer or whatever the hell she was doing. She kind of just, she stayed, oh, who threw her in the ring? Oh, Ria, because she came up next. Yeah. Ria Ripley came. Hoo, I love her. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:27:47 You remember she was like a champion at one point? Yeah, and then they just did her dirty. I don't know what they're doing. I hope they don't fire her. Just give her the belt again. she came out Ria Ripley came out yeah
Starting point is 00:28:00 hyped up everybody she came running in ran all the way around grabbed Carmela and threw her in the ring so I was like hell yeah Carmilla did have time
Starting point is 00:28:10 to put her mask on now that's stupid mask you gotta protect the money maker I like what she used to come out and do the moonwalk and all that she don't do any of that anymore but after yeah when she was
Starting point is 00:28:29 what was it mella is money yeah that's what I like to the queen of Staten Island oh no it was it the princess of Staten Island one of those one of those ones but here came the true queen
Starting point is 00:28:43 Charlotte Flair so over it I love Charlotte I've read her once she was cool she came out there this backdown women's champ uh, Charlotte Flair, she came out. And then, uh, she jumped in the ring and started whooping ass.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Um, ivory, she came out to her. I thought this was funny. Yeah, it was. I was. I read she was just no for talking shit. She talked shit that whole time came out with a mic. It was talking hell and she told all they go, you guys all needs to be the best and the females and whatever the hell she was saying. but then who picked her up who threw her out um i don't know let me see uh but i thought it was hilarious
Starting point is 00:29:35 as she was being eliminated she still was talking on the mic oh yeah uh it says ripley uh scored her third elimination of the match when she bounced uh w-dwe legend ivory from the match as soon as ivory entered yeah ivory just barely got in the ring still at the mic talking hell the shit, Rhea picked her up, and she was still talking. And she was talking when she got thrown out. She hit, she was still older the mic talking shit. But yeah, that was funny. I mean, it was good to see her.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I hadn't seen her in forever. She still looks the same. Yeah, exactly the same. She didn't age at all. But it was cool. It was funny. It was just good. I'm glad Santina didn't come in.
Starting point is 00:30:16 But I was glad. Yeah. No, it was the last year? Was it last year? The year before. I think it was a year before. anyway the next one was
Starting point is 00:30:26 Brea mode Brebella she came in I love Breed more than Nicky but so she came running in yes I was I was hyped and then the Impact
Starting point is 00:30:40 Women's Champion TNA champ hardcore country or whatever the hell her song is Mickey James that was awesome that she had a belt on
Starting point is 00:30:51 when they came out I noticed that it really didn't show it because she came in and there's like the cameras were behind her. They, because she held it up before she jumped in the ring and they did not show the front of it. But it was cool that she came. I'm glad they let her come and come out with the belt. Oh, excuse me. Because she jumped right in the ring and started kicking ass. And Alicia Fox came out after her.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I liked it when she was like crazy Alicia Fox. but where's she been she got all tatted up I think she left because she had to go to rehab so I don't know what she's been doing nah but she still looked good she came out after her was a Nikki ASH um
Starting point is 00:31:38 who was it who was waiting for her uh Ria because they got their little beef now that's right Ria was standing there looking waiting for her to come out but um he came she came through the back the back door she came through the other way slandri in the back and she almost fell out um yeah i guess she came through the crowd so she
Starting point is 00:32:06 jumped in and then summer ray came i caught this too because when summer ray came out she's got that beef with um what's her nuts natalia yeah because she came in running in the end her darker hair wasn't blonde anywhere. Before she started run, she went, fuck you. You heard that clear as day. She went running into the rig.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Then her daddy went at it for a while. All right. After that, Nikki Bella came out. I don't like the short hair, but still hot. And Nikki gets on my nerves, too. Good for you, John,
Starting point is 00:32:42 for ditching, for dodging that bullet. So, yeah, they came in and then both of the, Then Bri and Nikki were kicking ass for a little bit. And then my girl came in, which I was shocked.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I was happy when her name, Sarah Logan, she came out. I was like, oh, yeah. Man, she got done dirty the last rumble. She came in, threw her out and did her dirty again. She didn't even last, barely got to have a reunion with Liv Morgan. Yeah, they didn't even get a chance to hug. and just got tossed out. Like fast.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I was like, this is weak. It was hell of weak, man. But she jumped in at least roughed up someone. She got, what's again? Head-budded
Starting point is 00:33:34 Nikki. She like picked her up and then when she was bringing her down, she had it. It looked like she connected too. Because then when Nikki fell back, she was like holding her head. So,
Starting point is 00:33:46 but it was cool. She got a little thick. Yeah, she's a new mom. So, but I love Sarah Logan. Sarah Roe, whatever you want to go by now. But it was good to see her. She didn't get, she didn't get to do her little wolf call when she stepped
Starting point is 00:34:00 climbs up on the road. I was, oh, I was waiting for that. And I was like, oh, weak. I like that black eye lining around her eyes too. Hoo, hot damn, where's my, what's my Sarah Logan figure? It's around there somewhere. But, yeah, she came running in, all Vikinged out. and everything
Starting point is 00:34:20 and oh, the Bella twins she roughed them up first and then they attacked her and they threw Sarah Logan I don't even think she was in there a minute and she got thrown out
Starting point is 00:34:32 and then shortly after Liv Morgan got tossed like right after her because they were both laying there Sarah fell out first then Liv fell out and then you saw Sarah kind of run over to her to check
Starting point is 00:34:49 if she was all right. You did see them hug outside of the ring when they got tossed. They stood up for a second. You saw them hug. And then I saw pictures later. They were walking down back to the backstage. And they were holding hands and slapping five with everyone. I love everyone that comes out and appreciate the fans and gives everyone high fives.
Starting point is 00:35:10 But you have those ones that just just walk straight to the ring and don't want them to do it. No one. Yeah. But because I know when Sarah, she came around. running out. She at least gave some high fives and then came running in. All right. But after Sarah Logan, my girl. Who. Amy Dumas. Lita, her music hit. I was hyped. I knew she was going to be on the rumble, but I love Lita.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I met her a few times. She's just awesome to talk to. Team Extreme. Do I want her to do another run? She's saying, I think I can do it. I know you can do it. And I would like to see it, but I just, I don't want her to get hurt. I mean, when she does pop up and rumbles or when she comes out on Legends night, and later she's been popping up here and there, I just don't want her to hurt herself.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I mean, I just, that, when she broke her neck, that was, look up that video. Oh, man. So, because I told her, too, I said, I love you. but don't do it anymore. She's just like, I'm safe. I'm safe. I'm all, I'm like, I know you are, but every time you're in the ring, I'm like, hold her my head. Because she got slammed a couple times, like on her neck.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I was, ah, come on. She used to come to the ring, like, almost naked, but now she was all covered up. Yeah, they did the thing that she did. trying to do the thing with the kind of make it look like the thong but she had like the wrestling singlet or whatever underneath i thought it was a bathing suit yeah or whatever it was uh it was all right man i mean i love leader i don't know how old she is but she's hot um after her uh mighty molly i thought this was great it was awesome doing her you know super hero walk and then just bam
Starting point is 00:37:20 just Nikki just out of I didn't even know she was hiding there and just blind sided her and beat the shit at a mighty Molly. Well yeah I love that when she comes out and she just marches into the room all happy yeah I'm gonna jump in the ring and kick out
Starting point is 00:37:36 I wasn't ready for that either Nikki ASA's dude she slammed into her and she went out was like yeah that's all they're room for one superhero I love that accent too. I think of me it just makes her harder. She was seen the hell out of her.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You think this is going to set up something? I hope so. Because I would like to see Molly Molly Holly back in there kicking ass. If it's not, I say do something at the Royal Rumble, not wrong, WrestleMania. Yeah. If it's kickoff show or whatever, I think, I think they should do something.
Starting point is 00:38:18 So yeah, but that was cool. Yeah, she didn't last very long either. She got tossed. Mighty Molly got tossed out. This next one I must not be really paying attention into wrestling because I, this one, I went. And I was excited. Coming in at number 28, rowdy Rhonda Rousey, her music hit her, her Joan Jett music hit. And everybody did everybody went.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I did too. I was like, wow. I was, I'm glad I got to see her. I saw her perform at, um, was TLC in San Jose when she took on a Niajax. I thought that they both, um, went pretty hard. And, um, I think, I didn't think she was going to do good at all.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Um, when she first started doing the wrestling thing. But she did it. She didn't, she didn't do the Brock Lesnar. I'm only doing pay-per-views, and I'm always going to win a bell. She didn't, she didn't do anything of that.
Starting point is 00:39:26 She at least did the house shows and everything. So I was happy that she did that, because she did say, she said, I'm not just here because of who I am, I'm going to do what everyone does. So she did all the house shows and all that. So good for her.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah. She had a good little title run. But when she came out, I won one of those shirts. Her shirt, her new shirt just said baddest on it. She came in. A little covered up, a little bit more covered up than she usually is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And, yeah, you could clearly see her punches were not connected. Her knees and kicks were. Yeah, she got a lot of criticism over that. But, I mean, she just had a baby, like, I think. four or five months ago. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like, didn't she just have a kid? I don't know if she's just doing WrestleMania and that's it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 But I kind of have a feeling she's going to win the belt. And then, who knows, maybe do another run. Either way, I'd be happy with it. I'm pretty sure she's got nannies and the baby's there with her the whole time. But yeah, she immediately jumped in the room. and started whooping up everybody. So I thought that was awesome. And then my hometown hero, Shotsie Blackheart,
Starting point is 00:40:56 why do they get rid of the black heart? I know it wasn't her call. It's stupid shit they do. Somebody just can't be their whole name. They got to shorten it. I don't know. Maybe they think it makes it easier for people to remember them. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I wanted her to come out of the tank, but we didn't get that. Speaking of that, I got my Shotsie tank shirt around her somewhere. I just got it haven't wore it yet. But yeah, it was cool. She came running out. Rest and peace of her dad. Her dad just passed.
Starting point is 00:41:30 But yeah, she came in. Oh, she's so fine. And then she came, she jumped in and does what she does. She started whipping everyone up. And then after that, it came out of a girl, number 30. Was she the queen of spades or whatever she called? so Shana Beasler she came in oh man
Starting point is 00:41:51 and this is another Miss opportunity because her and Rhonda were part of the the MMA four horse women and they had a moment where they just kind of smiled at each other but they didn't really just I expected them to just
Starting point is 00:42:09 fucking wreck shop and it didn't really go like that either it made it seem like they were going to attack each other because they started circling, but then they got attacked by some of the other gals. Yeah, it would have been cool if they just beat it,
Starting point is 00:42:23 you know, hugged, beat each other up and then realize they're the only two standing and just kind of went at each other, but that didn't happen either. So, but, yeah,
Starting point is 00:42:35 once, by then women were flying in and out of the ring already, but the one that made me laugh is, um, uh, who the hell was, I think it was, I think it was,
Starting point is 00:42:47 Rhonda, she threw Nikki over the top. And then I know Rhonda hit her a few times. But while Nikki had went over the top, she was on the outside, standing on the apron. And then Bree pushed her. Bree pushed her out. Because if you guys remember, I don't know if it was the last row of Rumble, Nikki threw Bree out. So she was, she was paying her back.
Starting point is 00:43:15 but then shortly right after that and yeah, Bree got thrown out. So I thought that was cool. So they were both out. And we knew both of them weren't going to go all the way to the main, to the final four or anything. But getting to the final four,
Starting point is 00:43:31 it was Ronda Rousey, Shane of Bazler. Was it Bianca? No. Was it Bianca Bill or Ria? I'm going to say, no. Yeah, it was Bianca.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Ria got thrown out. Charlotte threw her out or like give her the boot and she got kicked out of the ring. I remember that. Because I think Ria threw out Nikki and then shortly after that, Ria got the boot out of the ring. So yeah, they were the final four. Who was it? Oh, Shana and Bianca Belair were like wrestling around. and then they were kind of getting about to get tossed over the over the ropes.
Starting point is 00:44:21 But was it Charlotte? Yeah, Charlotte ran over there. I didn't think she dump them both? Yeah. Charlotte grabbed both of them and threw them both over. So Shana and Bianca Bella fell out. And I was like, it was so slow. They could easily held on.
Starting point is 00:44:40 But they fell out. And I was like, oh, man. I wanted it to be Rhonda and Shane at the end. But no, we couldn't even get that. But we knew who the elite to be, one of the final women was going to be and it was going to be Charlotte. I was like, oh, really? So I was not expected Rhonda to win at all.
Starting point is 00:45:10 because they kind of faced off with each other. And it was this sorry ending. It was like basically she, Charlotte just stepped over the top and then fell out. I was like, oh man, I was like, she could easily held on too for all the stuff Charlotte does
Starting point is 00:45:31 when she like, when you ever do all the time she was going to get thrown out. She was holding on and barely dangling and then flipping back in. She just went waltful, fell over, and fell out. And then, oh, look with the shock look on her face. I was like, they can at least win at it for a little while. And then do that fake for a while over the top. Ronda winning, I was all right with it.
Starting point is 00:46:00 But I just wished those two would have went at a little more. And that was a week ending. Yeah, they should have went harder. They got a history. yeah you know the the what was it when i forgot what paper view it was when uh charlotte took out that kennel stick and just beat the shit out of ronda i think it was like it wasn't it like ronda's like hometown and everybody was like cheering yeah yeah they could have they they should have went hard just off of that fact oh i was like come on um who threw lead out um
Starting point is 00:46:40 because I think Lita threw out Sarah Logan Lita got I know she she got she was over the she got thrown over the over the rope
Starting point is 00:46:55 she was still hanging on and then somebody like booed her I want to say it was Charlotte but I don't remember but yeah let me see
Starting point is 00:47:07 what is okay yeah Lita through Sarah Logan out. But yeah, CBS Sports, they graded it to see. I mean, I was entertained. It just, I wish they could have did a little more with some of them. But, oh, man.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Other than just, I loved Sarah Logan came back and it was a surprise to me. But I was just like, man, he's brought her back. I wonder how much she got paid to come back for a few. for a few minutes. I probably told her if you don't come back, we'll release your husband. Where's he been? I know they got a match
Starting point is 00:47:52 to the elimination chamber, which is next. Fucking doing house show. I was wondering if they're going to get their name changed again. Oh, yeah. I don't know. But yeah, they gave it a C.
Starting point is 00:48:05 On to the next was the raw women's champion. Becky Lynch, taking on do drop do drop a.k.a. was a. Piper Nevin. Yeah. Which that's what it needs to be. Yeah. Dude drop. dumb. Was it the Eva Marie who gave her name or did she they just change her name and like we're not supposed to know? I don't know. I don't know. It's fucking all stupid.
Starting point is 00:48:31 That little matchup was kind of weird too, but this one. I'll give it the do drop. She did what she had. She was going to do. and I'm surprised Becky didn't break ribs for those backdrops or the back bomb drops that Piper was given her because that one when she, that looked like she took full force
Starting point is 00:48:54 like just on her chest because you could see Becky was like bracing herself before she landed on her but I was like ooh CBS Sports gave this a match of B but that's ridiculous yeah you guys are being
Starting point is 00:49:13 generous over there I mean I didn't even like the finish just those fucking manhandle slam off the not even off the top rope just off the middle rope well I don't want Piper to get hurt
Starting point is 00:49:29 I want to see off the top rope I don't know man that's good I would definitely break something the man handles man big big time backs dumb just your becky lint the man was what was fine with me but yeah yeah this match it was you can see that becky was carrying her the whole time but the even the buildup to this was like really well i guess the guy do change in all these matches that becky's been having we've seen a billion times but yeah but it's the way the story was going it should have been it should
Starting point is 00:50:14 have been a third match for or live yeah I mean I thought that was going to go somewhere and then hey it's all right nowhere they don't they don't want to put the belt on somebody else um they're scared they just do everyone dirty with these belts I mean Bianca Bella I don't care what anyone says they they did her hell of dirty. If you're not their main favorites, Vince's favorites, and you have the belt,
Starting point is 00:50:49 you're only, you're just holding the belt until whoever comes back. That's it. Yeah. I did like that, um, that move, uh,
Starting point is 00:51:03 Becky did when she, off the top row. Yeah. Yeah, that was cool. Yeah. had Piper leaving over in the top. She came down on her.
Starting point is 00:51:16 But she did it like hell as slow. You can currently see Piper's just hanging on, but then Becky gives her that leg drop to the back of her neck. If she would have fell immediately, yeah, it would have been all right. But now she took her a minute to flip over the rolls. But that's so good. Piper, I love you.
Starting point is 00:51:40 I don't care what anyone says. It sounds like I'm talking shit. I'm not. I've liked her since I've first seen her at the May Young Classic. I thought she was awesome. She'll be released next month. Yeah. And all her indie stuff, because after I had watched her on the May Young Classic, I was like,
Starting point is 00:51:57 who is this? I need to watch more of her. And I saw a lot of her indie stuff. I loved her during all that. All right, this next match, I didn't think it was going to be all that, but it turned out to be okay. I can clearly see in the beginning they were getting mad at each other. This was for the WWE championship match.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Brock Lesnar who was a champ taking on the almighty Bobby Lashley. Did it really look like they were hitting each other in the beginning? A little bit. Because when they were slamming each other with those suplexes, it was like they were coming down on their heads. Yeah, this is something that it goes beyond wrestling. And this was like when they both were doing MMA, everybody wanted to see them fight. But they fought in two different promotions.
Starting point is 00:52:45 So it never happened. So I guess this is the closest they can get. And I kind of felt like when they could, they were kind of giving it to one of each other. Yeah, I thought those hits were good. I mean, like connecting, not like just pulling it. No, it looked like they were really hitting each other. So it was like no defense in this match at all. It was just all offense.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Yeah, these two big brutes just throwing each other around. But the ending, you know what they're, you knew what they were trying to set up. Yeah. Heyman, it was back with, uh, with Brock. and I mean I give it to them they were beating the shit out of each other for a while in this or even when Bobby Lashley went running top speed at Brock Lesnar because if you guys remember day one when Bobby slammed Brock Lesnar's through the timekeepers part
Starting point is 00:53:54 this time Brock was ready jumped out of the way and Bobby went crashing through it but while they were in there roughing each other up um was it brock who picked up bobby or was it bobby who whoever picked up who but they spun around and hit the ref it was uh brock picked up uh bobby to f5 him oh that's right because he that's right because he picked him up boom spun him around uh hit the ref he fell down and it didn't even look like it hit him that hard but he got knocked out or whatever. Well, he was supposed to be already hurt because remember Bobby had crushed him in the corner first.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yeah. So I guess he was out of it. Oh, it's kind of like, aw. I like how forever it takes the second rough to come in. Yeah. Usually there's something going to run it in really quick,
Starting point is 00:54:55 but Brock pinned him to like him like the 10 count. But he realized that nothing was happening. and they were going to rough each other up some more but then you knew someone was coming we all knew who it was because you heard the crowd go and Brock acted like he wasn't paying attention and then he got hit by Roman Raines
Starting point is 00:55:20 and then he walks in walks over to Paul Heyman doesn't even like he kind of looks at him but like barely but then holds his hand out and then Paul Heyman gives
Starting point is 00:55:36 the Roman the belt and then he goes over and hits Brock Lesnar in the head and knocks him out I guess
Starting point is 00:55:46 I love when Roman's walking off and he looks at the championship belt and then he's like this piece of shit and just like throws it to the side
Starting point is 00:55:55 this is not the real belt yeah that's he's laying there and then Bobby comes around and then yeah he's when the ref comes running in slides into the ring as Bobby pins him and then the Almighty is the new WWE champion which is good I'm glad that he is again because Brock came out of nowhere and won that belt but I felt bad for Big E so I'm hoping Big E comes back and
Starting point is 00:56:31 gets the belt again, but I don't know, we'll see. But I mean, I did like this match other than just beating the hell out of each other, throwing them all over, all over the place. I was happy that the Almighty is a champ again. So good for you. Yeah, this next one. They graded that one, B-plus, all right. Ms. Maurice and Edge and Beth Phoenix, they gave it a C-plus.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I don't know if I would have been that generous, but there was some fun spots in here. Yeah. um beth phoenix is huge i wouldn't wow no way it should be my ass but she's just going on with her hair i don't know man she's like she's a extra from that that one movie we reviewed uh dead end drive-in she's like i got that going on i like what she came when she always had her uh like wonder woman headband or whatever on yeah why can't she's i don't was she not the glamazon no more. I guess not.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Oh, wait. They're the, they're the grit couple. She looks bigger than edge, man. I bet she just rubs him up. Oh, yeah, Marie, she was just running around the ring. She wasn't
Starting point is 00:57:50 doing anything. So, and Ms. was, the Miz, he does what he does. Uh, Beth kept getting in his face. and Ms. Gallerang, get out of the rain, get out of the rain, get your husband. I was like, oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I mean, I love the Miss. Mike the Miss, he's the same character he was when he first came on. So he can't be a face. He's a good heel. He's good on the mic and everything. So, yeah, just he's going to be a heel for his entire run. So, but when Beth Featis picked him up and power bomb, them again yeah she she's a big gal and she slammed him by allard onto the ground um she even uh
Starting point is 00:58:39 d tteed him that was awesome too uh i'd basically would it have been cool if uh beth would have been roughen up maurice yeah but since marice was not trying to have her kill her so well she was about to fall out of a ring gear. I mean, I don't know what's that. I give a ring gear A plus. Yeah. But yeah, there was some
Starting point is 00:59:11 fun movies. All moments in this, mainly just Beth Phoenix beating the shit out of Ms. And they ended up pulling it out at the end. No, well, yeah. Edge and Beth Phoenix, they won.
Starting point is 00:59:24 You know, the double glamazon slams. I did like that. yeah but I want them to it doesn't always work when when someone does this I thought they were going to both slam him at the same time it was like Ed slam Ms and then she slammed Maurice but yeah whatever
Starting point is 00:59:46 all right on to the the main event the men's Royal Rumble um there was only like a couple of guys I was excited to see come out. But to start the rumble off, it was AJ Styles and Shinskin, Nakamura.
Starting point is 01:00:08 They came out to their themes and all that, and then they get in the ring and then they start going at it. Nakamura, I love him, but man, they're just not using him at all. It's just is he just doing this to take the paycheck?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Come on, whoa. I heard he likes. He likes. to surf here. So maybe he's surfing and collecting paychecks. All right. Well, good for you. Awesome theory. Why are they pushing this guy so hard?
Starting point is 01:00:42 I don't know. You know, he's got to be a favorite of Vince's doing like on-camera stuff with him. Yeah. I'm just like, ah, come on. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:56 but once those three got in, they were roughing each other up. And then here came, uh, Robert rude. How come they didn't do glorious? They couldn't even do that. They gave him his Dolph Ziegler and Robert Rood.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Music. I was like, man. Hey, they, that's another one. They fucked up. I was like,
Starting point is 01:01:20 oh, man, it was good to see him, but I was like, man, come on. He at least last little while. And then after hearing,
Starting point is 01:01:28 it came Ridge Holland. Yeah, whatever. I like he's partners with Seamus. Yeah. He's got the face mask for a broken nose that Seamus had last year because he had a broken nose. Yeah. They even said that when he can.
Starting point is 01:01:45 He's got the mascot. Oh, God. It might as well be like a true tag team and have like matching face masks or something. Yeah. I thought Shamis was going to come out and have it on. But, yeah. after him it was uh montes ford he's badass i love him and um darkens those guys are
Starting point is 01:02:08 fucking hell of good street profits he came running in and he was flying all over the ring as well and damien priest came in um i forget this guy's a champion yeah it was cool he came running in it and roughing everyone up and then after him him dumb ass sammy zane hate sammy zane they are misusing him a guy can he can go in the ring but they want him to be all goofy and slapsed yeah i don't i don't like it this is this next is the guy this is the one that i couldn't wait for Because I wasn't sure. You guys remember when Steevo and was it a party boy.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Chris Pony is while on Raw. I can't remember who it was. Beat the shit out of those guys. When Umago almost killed Stivo. Yeah. Oh man, but Johnny Knoxville, his music hit, the Jackass theme. And of course, it is because of Jackass Forever. I wanted to go tonight, but it didn't happen.
Starting point is 01:03:21 hopefully when my son feels better we'll go see it um but yeah johnny came out him uh was jasper one one of the new cast members uh black gentleman jasper um Preston lacey and uh we man jason akuna they came out and johnny knoxfield is all his white and red gear with his uh jk on his chest and his glasses and his crowned He came running. He came in his signature, Chucks. He came running into the ring. Then he went straight for Sammy Zane and started whooping him up.
Starting point is 01:04:04 And he did what he did. I mean, he tried to go up against AJ. And AJ just, I started fucking him up. I'll give it to Johnny, man. He took some bumps. He was only in there for maybe a minute or two at the most. But he took. he took some bumps he was in there i mean he's got to take bumps he's johnny knoxfell and all the
Starting point is 01:04:25 shit he does himself yeah but i i found out he can't take bumps like he does anymore i know man all the things that i've seen and after which wasn't when it blew out his his guts and he had to i guess he he got a serious head injury doing this new movie the a scene in the trailer with the bull. Uh-huh. I guess that gave him brain damage or something. And I know he got roughed up in that action park movie. Um,
Starting point is 01:04:59 yeah. So, I mean, I know he probably would have been game for, for them to go super hard on him, but at the same time, I think, because of his recent injuries,
Starting point is 01:05:10 uh, they didn't really go that hard. No, but I mean, he did what he did. I thought that was cool, but he got thrown out by Sammy Zing. So after that was Angela Dawkins
Starting point is 01:05:23 He came running him And then Omas He came in I know he knew he was gonna come walking in And just rough and everyone out What happened to him and AJ? I missed all that I think it was
Starting point is 01:05:37 It didn't play out The way I think they wanted to I think he was just kind of He wants to be the man And They just I think they see that he's going to be a, they think he's going to be a star. So I think they just split him up.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I mean, you know when they team up with someone, you know they're going to end up feuding. So, of course, we saw that coming. This kind of needs more than three moves, though. He's just a big brute. He just picks you up or doesn't really kick. He just lifts his foot up. But he can pick up everyone to throw you out of the ring. So I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Okay, whatever. Ricochet, which I still think they're wasting, but he came out after Omas. And then Shorty G. A.K. Chad G., what happened to Shorty G. He's an Alpha Academy now. Oh, yeah. He came in, but I liked when he came in. He just like started yelling everyone to team up again and throw Omas out.
Starting point is 01:06:45 He's like, organized everybody, went to Damien Priest. He was like, you're the biggest. You go first. but I like how they did get him out I mean it was after a few other people came up because then after Chad Gable Dominic Mysterio came in and right after him it came happy Corbyn but when they when they had enough dudes in there
Starting point is 01:07:07 and they all went after Omas and they all rushed him and they had him pretty much going over the top but then AJ came running in gave him the phenomenal a forearm and then almost fell out of the ring. So I was like, all right, cool,
Starting point is 01:07:25 whatever. Who knows? Maybe that'll be a match at WrestleMania. Oh, God. After that, after, happy Corby, here came to show off, Dalz Ziegler. It was freshly straightened hair. I hate his hair when it's
Starting point is 01:07:41 straight. Just stay all wet and curly out. You can tell he just did this before he came out. Yeah, they had the Hot irons. All right. It's my turn. And they stopped and he ran out.
Starting point is 01:07:54 But, um, Dol Zigo's badass period. I'm glad that he's still around. But after him, here came Seamus. I'm glad Seamus got rid of the Mohawk. Because, um,
Starting point is 01:08:07 did he do that for the Turtles movie? I think so. And he thought it was, I think he thought it was going to catch on. And then everybody started chanting the, you look stupid. Yeah. Yeah, the W.W.E. Universe means.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Remember he had the braids and the beard with the beans? After shame his Rick Boggs came in. And then, um, mad cat boss. What did they call together? The happy people or something? Something dumb like that. I don't like it. I don't like that matchup.
Starting point is 01:08:48 I mean, I don't like. I don't like. I don't like his suspenders. Eventually, those two are going to be fighting each other. So we'll just wait for that. After that, here came Riddle, aka Matt Riddle. Bro, I like him. I don't care what anyone says.
Starting point is 01:09:06 He always looks hella high with his red eyes. He came. I just love how he comes in the ring with his flip-flops and kicks him off. And then goes to work. And then Drew McIntyre came in. I was just watching before we were recording the Ro Role I went to in 2013 down in Phoenix. And this is when the three-man band was still going. The three-man band or whatever that music hit.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Here came Drew Maggitire. He don't look like he was still tall and everything and slick hair, no beard. But he was not as ripped as he is now. So, yeah, he came in and he got just the whole stupid. thing. The whole three man band was there. Seth, or not Seth. What the hell is his name? Damn, I'm trying to think of it.
Starting point is 01:09:58 I know, I know he's got kids to feed. Yeah. What's that? Seth Green. Accet, red hair. I got to look it up. Drew McIntyre. What was he going to do his name? Gender Mahal.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Gender Mahal and I pull it up right here. Heath Slater. Yes. They were all in that Royal Rumble. But yeah, Drew McIntyre. He came a long way. I was, I think it was
Starting point is 01:10:36 Oh, excuse me. Was it Cole Cabanus podcast? No, no, no, no, no. I think it was Jericho's. Talk is Jericho. He was on there, and he like um
Starting point is 01:10:53 um um gender mahal they when they got fire they just booze booze party
Starting point is 01:11:00 but then they just turn around and just got in like the best shape they could be and that's how they both got
Starting point is 01:11:07 called back which is good I do like this run that they're doing with uh dramatic and he's been at
Starting point is 01:11:11 it for a few years now so it's cool when he comes out of the whole sword and everything
Starting point is 01:11:16 and after that here came uh Kevin Owens uh I like him period he's
Starting point is 01:11:21 badass the time. A little fat guy got running in and the catapols and the DDTs and the um yeah
Starting point is 01:11:32 Kevin always yeah they're underusing him also. Yeah they are. Oh, Ray Mysterio came out but his son got thrown out before he even got in the ring.
Starting point is 01:11:47 See him land on his face? Yeah, he did. He got thrown over the over the robes and he like flipped and wasn't like in the position to stop himself at least he he slammed face first on onto the mat uh ram mysterio came sliding in then after that kofy kinksn came in and kofy didn't even last long at all i was like oh man we're we got we got to talk about the botch yeah was it his fault
Starting point is 01:12:21 I guess he just misjudged the distance. It kind of seemed like to me he landed ribs first on the barricade instead of, I guess, you know, feet and hands first. So I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have been surprised if I heard he got injured doing that because it looked like his ribs took the, took the force. And camera was right there.
Starting point is 01:12:51 So they couldn't. play it off so yeah because when he when he went went out he was up on the on the top rope i think he was gonna spring himself back in but then um what's his name pushed him i think it was otis yeah and he flew no i think it was kevin owens he pushed him and he flew back and he basically jumped but yeah you can see that his his chest took most of the force on the barricade
Starting point is 01:13:26 and his feet just boom I know that cameraman was in trouble because for some reason it looked like he came and zoomed in on his feet that the yeah the camera that camera that caught the first one yeah you you clearly
Starting point is 01:13:42 see well even if they would have missed it but you could see also in the background like way in the back you see that ref come out and he looks and like he's got his hands up really quick but then he brings his hands down and then kind of like steps out of the shot to act like he didn't see it but it was it was it was clear his day that he did it because I was like oh my god his feet is feed it and I was waiting for them to like either pan away or not say anything but it was too late
Starting point is 01:14:17 but you even hear Kevin I was his feet it. I was like, oh, weak. And then it was like, yeah, by then it was too late. I mean, the ref, like, hey, man, you can you see him lean in and say something to him? And then Kofi's like, ah, fuck it, too late. But yeah, that one, that was another thing. I mean, we always look forward to see how he gets back in the ring. And we didn't, we didn't get it.
Starting point is 01:14:48 So, yeah. yeah he was out um after cofi odis came in i like otis um hopefully he sticks around why he's not a little big bruiser guy and after that big e how come big e's got his own team music now after he won because coofer came out uh the new day um and after big e this one was a shocker too I was excited and I was happy but bad bunny he came back last time we saw him
Starting point is 01:15:22 was at WrestleMania and I'm not a fan of his music or anything and I was like what who the hell is this bad bunny I was not expecting to see what he did at WrestleMania
Starting point is 01:15:34 he surprised me and I thought that was awesome I thought that was one of my favorite matches that I can't remember when it was I think it was a Saturday night or Sunday night one of those nights but when he came in I was like, oh, cool.
Starting point is 01:15:46 He came running back in. I thought he does what he does. And you can see that he trained and he wants to do this. Yeah, I mean, go ahead. He took some bumps, but he was still out there and he did it. My hat is still off to him. I mean, he gave riddle a Canadian destroyer, a flipping pile driver. And it was perfect.
Starting point is 01:16:14 So, I mean, I don't. that's what I mean he does this I mean he trained to do it it wasn't just like let me get in and get in the ring because I'm famous and and be stupid and and not do any moves good but I was still like what's his name to come back for some reason after uh heels um that's even a Mel is that his name um Oh, yeah. Him, Arrow or whatever, green arrow, whatever he doesn't want to call him. Because he had a small little to-do.
Starting point is 01:16:52 And I know that was it. That was not him all the time in that show, but he did do some stuff in that. So I was surprised that never brought him back. But should have brought David Arquette in. Ooh, speaking of that, you watched that video. I said, you right? Yeah. I've seen that story before.
Starting point is 01:17:14 I saw what was his name Nick Gage I seen an interview and he said it was fucking Arquette's fault trying to go off script and
Starting point is 01:17:24 didn't really know it didn't really know what he was getting into didn't he just stab him in the throat I think he turned around into it okay I'll still give it David Arquette
Starting point is 01:17:39 he did he did do it he trained if you guys saw that you can't kill David Arquette documentary I'll give it to him but yeah that shit at that
Starting point is 01:17:52 that little indie out show he got fucked up but anyway oh yeah after Bad Bunny came in here comes the money Shane McMahon I went ah yeah Shane O'Mack came in
Starting point is 01:18:09 and a lot of people are mad he came in. Is it true that he left the WWE? He was released. Oh, did Dad come in? Look, you're out of here.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Word is that I've read. He wanted to change some things in the match. And they weren't, I guess it kind of sounds like what he thought they wanted him to do
Starting point is 01:18:42 in there was stupid. So he wanted to change some stuff and they had a disagreement about it and then when he eventually gets eliminated. I guess he botched that. And
Starting point is 01:18:56 I don't know. I guess there is a whole bunch of talk there was supposed to be he wanted something to set up there. He's supposed to do something at WrestleMania with somebody have a match and he wanted to do something to set that up in the in the rumble, but they were like, no, we don't want you to do that.
Starting point is 01:19:15 And basically it was just difference of opinion. So they let them go. Oh, we. Well, all right. Hopefully after 20 years I come back again. Imagine Shane showing up at AEW. I saw those Photoshop things people made. And that was one of them.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Shane is all elite Have like an updated Here comes the money Oh man He probably if he hated his dad He probably would do it I don't know After Shane
Starting point is 01:19:57 He came the hometown hero Randy Orton He came out Did you see that stuff he did After the camera stopped rolling No I didn't There was a little video He came out and
Starting point is 01:20:08 Hiped everyone one up. That's cool. So I was like, it was cool. I mean, everyone was saying that he was going to win because it was his, his town, but. Oh, they don't do that. Nope.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Bad Bunny, I think, um, riddle through her, I think was, no, it was Brock Lezner to throw him out. Yeah. He threw a bad bunny out. I like when Brock comes in there,
Starting point is 01:20:35 like yelling at bad bunny. He's like, just, just jump out now. run. Yeah, number 30, Brock Lesnar came. I was surprised that.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Shout out to Taylor, because he wasn't watching it. I was texting him and telling him who was coming in. When I texted him, Brock Lesnar, his number 30, he was like, all right,
Starting point is 01:20:56 well, we know who's going to win. Yeah, I was like, I was excited, but then I was like, really, you're going to let him just,
Starting point is 01:21:04 after he just lost the bell, you're going to, then you're going to let him win. But maybe that's why. That's how you set up WrestleMania. Yeah. Oh,
Starting point is 01:21:13 Roman screws him out of the belt. He somehow enters himself in the rumble at number 30. And then wins. Who were the final two? Was Brock Lesnar and was Drew McIntyre? Drew McIntyre. And from what I understand, they changed all this.
Starting point is 01:21:37 It was the winner from what I read, it was supposed to be riddle. Oh. Oh, man. They did him dirty. And you can't say nothing. You just got to go, all right. Spencer,
Starting point is 01:21:54 what are you going to say? Nothing. Okay. I'm glad I have a job. You just got to take it. All these former people that work for the company, you listen to them now and how bitter they are towards it's WWE, but
Starting point is 01:22:11 yeah, I was with Taylor, so he goes, all right, well, we know who's going to win. I was like, oh. But he does have his fans. There was a lot of people there that were hyped. Well, he kind of seems like he has a new attitude now. He's more, he's talking on the mic more. He's laughing.
Starting point is 01:22:31 He's fucking wearing cowboy outfits for some reason and overalls. He needs to cut that hair because that little Brady had a look stupid. Well, I mean, it looked better than the man bun, so. Just got it. It looks dumb. Is he married? Yeah, it's
Starting point is 01:22:50 a Sable. That's right, huh? Yeah. Oh, fuck. She had problems with Vince, I think. Well, no one's going to say none. He'll whoop your
Starting point is 01:23:05 ass. But I'm the safety of my home. so I can talk shit. But if it comes knocking on the door, I don't know what you're talking about. It wasn't me. But yeah, he ended up winning the rumble. I mean, other than the surprises that came in, there wasn't really anything super duper exciting.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Yeah. I was a little disappointed that there were no surprise entrance outside of Bad Bunny. And I guess, Shane being a surprise. rise entrance yeah i'm going down the list again there was no no nxte guys no legends no legends uh they brought in micky for the the women's and a lot of people were kind of saying maybe they bring in uh their world champ is this guy named moose and he said he would do it but that didn't happen either uh what's his name big cast he he wrestles for impact um impact he could have came in
Starting point is 01:24:15 where's on what's his name Enzo yeah he's wrestling for another company yeah I follow him on Instagram he's still doing it but um I wonder if he'll ever
Starting point is 01:24:31 get back together I think they did for like some independent show which is I mean I liked him I mean was it the greatest in the ring. No, he just talked shit.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Yeah, I don't, where castes. I think he's Morrissey now. I think he's in the title picture. So I think I don't think he's thinking about tag team. I got that, that Walger and exclusive fungal pops of them too.
Starting point is 01:25:07 And then right, it was like right when that came out, boom, they got let go. I was like, damn. I got Fogopoppa, got let go. I was like weak.
Starting point is 01:25:19 But, all right, everyone, that was the Royal Rumble. Um, a couple of matches were cool. I thought the women's Rumble was better, in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Yeah, definitely was. Because the grade on that one was a C. Yeah, they gave that C and they gave the men's a, F. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:48 I don't know if I'd give it an F. I'd give it a D. I can't argue with that. It's in bold print. Brock Lesnar wins the Royal Rebel. Great F. Oh, man. Um,
Starting point is 01:26:06 yeah, it was, it was nothing the right home about. I mean, I watched it again. and Johnny Bad Bunny and Shane McMahon
Starting point is 01:26:18 Those were probably my three highlights I mean other than that What's his name man What happened when Ray Mysterio got thrown out Oh that was when Shane McMan came in Because when he was coming down And then Ray Mysterio got thrown out
Starting point is 01:26:37 Before he even got to the ring Otis took him out and I was like, Weak, what happened? We didn't even get to see it. The replay we got to see it, but we didn't actually see it happen when it was going on. So I was kind of like, weak. Because Lesnar, he threw out Randy Orton,
Starting point is 01:27:00 Bad Bunny, Riddle, McMahon, yeah, Shane, McIntyre. Luther, AJ, yeah. AJ got tossed out by Bobby Rude. No, no, no, no, no. Let me see who threw him out. Oh, Omas got rid of, no, these are the guys that Gable, Dominic he was still in, Rick O'Shea, AJ, Holland, in theory. They're the ones that threw out to Omas.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Uh, oh, no? Look at Rout E.J. Somebody's yelling. I'm not seen. Oh, it was a mad cat Moss. Oh, yeah, I hear this. Yeah. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:28:24 Mad cat Moss. Yeah, I'm remembered now. And then him and Corbyn were celebrating laughing because, you know, they're, they're so happy. Whatever. Yeah, I can't, I can't argue with this. Brock Lesnar wins Royal Rumble Grade F. I can't argue. Yeah, but they have everyone.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Roll Rumble. Uh, 2022. Wins Elimination Chamber. Is that next one? February 19th. Okay. Don't know where that one's at.
