girls children of all ages welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns uh i'm your co-host nez but we always got the host of the show the brutal one the true king of the north brian what's up brother it's uh it's hard to be king all right everyone 2021 wwee wrestlemania backlash WrestleMania part, but okay. Didn't it used to be payback was after WrestleMania? Yeah,

but I know once the network started, that's when they started adding pay-per-view left and right, so I don't even remember, but where were they at in this? Oh, back in the fucking Thunderdome

or whatever they call it. Yeah, I just, I just read that not the next pay-per-view. The one after Money in the Bank will be the first. They're going back to live crowds and the Smackdown before that pay-per-view is going to be live crowd. Because I was already for more live crowd because at WrestleMania, I was kind of hyped

just seeing everyone in the crowd. Yeah. All right. I have not really been keeping not much with the show. I watch it from time to time, but then there's always something new happening. So, but I do know the buildup to all of this and was only really excited for the

Ria Ripley, Oska, and Charlotte Flair match. The rest, I was kind of like, yeah, okay, well, we'll see. There ain't nothing we ain't seen before, but was there anyone you were hyped up for? uh bianca bellair uh ria ripply and uh little interested in the roman reigns a sizarro match yeah um well when we get to that did you watch the kickoff show i didn't i started watching it then i was like i don't give a shit um i wish they'd push uh ricochet a little more i mean he was all over NXT, which I thought was awesome. And then I was happy he came over.

But then it's like they kind of did. But then I don't know what they're doing. Yeah, I'm like fucking send him back to NXT or release him and let him go be awesome somewhere else. I'm like, I don't know what they're doing. I don't know. I think I read somewhere he ain't won a match in like months. I'm, all right. Yeah, because he didn't win this

The Kickoff show Shameous, it ended up winning via pinfall. I'll have to go back and watch. I rarely ever watch the kickoff shows because I always forget about him. So, but

all right, the very first match of the night was the Raw Women's Championship match. The running champ, Ria Ripley, taking on Oscar. what do they call her the empress of tomorrow yeah all right yeah and um charlotte full of the queen charlotte flair okay really quick wasn't me or did charlotte like lose more weight because she looked kind of skinny at times like skinnier than she is yeah it looked like she slimmed up but

she still looks like a upside down triangle with me i mean i thought she looked fine how she did but I know she is really into the whole fitness thing so I mean good for her I wish I had her her just

drive to work out and do all that but then again I'm not on TV every week so nobody wants to see this flapping around in the ring what did you think of this match I thought it was a decent match I'm glad they didn't throw the belt right back on Charlotte.

I was kind of worried about that. I want to see Ripley have a lengthy title run. I think she deserves it. I think it's time for the new wave of female wrestlers to come in and take over. But with a lot of matches on this card, I felt like it was a little long. Yeah, I thought this one, this match went

a little bit longer than usual. But, I mean, I was okay with it. I thought it was good. I've always said this when we talk wrestling. The women go just a little bit more harder than the dudes. Not to say that they're trying to prove that they're just as awesome. I mean, I'm not saying that anymore before someone started yelling at me. But that's how I always felt.

It seems like they have to go harder. Not like somebody's telling them. like Vince is like you guys better go hard of this match they go hard because they I know a lot of people like ah women wrestlers uh they're nobody but Vince Vince don't care about the women wrestlers he may be maybe maybe a few but he ain't looking at the division like like everybody else does I mean he's just looking at it as money that I mean that's something I could see yeah because we'll get to that be as money grab scenario later on.

Yeah, but Rea Ripley, she ended up winning. She's still the champ, which I was happy with. Yeah, I was kind of worried Charlotte was going to come in and get the belt for the, was it, it would be the 15th time or? Yeah, something. They're trying to get her up there with her father, which I read that she said she's not doing no more of them storylines with her dad. which I kind of agree

because I didn't like that last one they were doing with him being involved with Lacey Evans. I know those fans are hers, but I'm just not a fan of Lacey Evans. It brought her up too soon. Yeah.

So, but what's her name looked like? She heard her face when she was head button. Ria Ripley, she was head button. She did Charlotte first, but then she did it to Oscar and it looked like

she I don't know what was going too fast and didn't pull it but they really did connect heads pink you heard it too and then Oscar immediately fell and held her head

and Ripley was like seemed like she was kind of dazed but she snapped out of it and kept going I saw pictures on her Instagram and like right above her eye where she had buttered you could see was all bruised up and everything. Yeah, there was times, even though I thought the match was pretty good,

there was times I felt like it got a little janky, especially when they were, whoever was double teaming, the other one, the third one, and I felt like it got a little messy in there. Yeah, there was a time when Charlotte and, or not Charlotte, Ria and Oscar, when they were going to do the double flip with, to Charlotte

it seemed like it took just a few little too long seconds to get ready because they're like stop all right and then you know they're going ready ready and then they do the flip so I was like

there was a lot of stuff like that not with just this match with other matches as well seems like they just waited a little too long for set up I understand the ones when they're up on the ropes yeah you got to

get it right. But I don't know. But I mean, but that's just something that I saw, other than that. But I'm glad that Ria is still a champ. I like Ria Ripley. But yeah, she just won it like, what, how many months ago? Don't. I don't even think it's been a month.

Yeah. I mean, don't take it away from her already. I mean, she's definitely earned it. Man, she was kicking ass in NXT. I like to then. and then I was glad that she came up. And I was glad that they did something with her instead of bringing her up and then just dragging her out for nothing. Yeah, because we'll get to somebody that I feel they're just, they're wasting him.

And so. All right. This next match, the Smackdown. No, I'm reading. I'm on. CBSports.com and they're not going in order. Oh, that's what I'm on to. So, we're just going to go down this list that's on CBS because the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match, Robert Rood.

He's still Bobby Rude to me. And Dolph Ziegler, the dirty dogs. Taking on Ray and his son, Dominic Mysterio. This was not the second match. Oh, for a no. I think they go ahead. No. They had a, I think this, they put it on the card as the second match,

but they had this whole buildup to where they had the dirty dogs. They had jumped to Dominic in the back, and he wasn't able to go. And they were giving him time. And then I guess he still couldn't. go or Ray didn't want him to go. So he was going to go handicapped. And I think that's,

they were just trying to build up the story. Yeah. I mean, you knew something like that was going to happen. I mean, just, just to move the story along. The thing that made me laugh when they jumped, Dominic,

what was that couch right there? I can see, I can see if there was a table there or maybe boxes or something. But when they jumped and sland him into the corner and then just started beating his ass. And then there was a couch nicely placed right there. And then they flipped it over on. I was sitting there going, wait, what? But then I'm like, all right, they do set up those little lounges every now and then when they're showing stuff.

So I'm like, okay. maybe that's why the couch is there but I don't know why I was just right there and nothing else around it so what did you think of this match it was okay it definitely wasn't one I was looking forward forward to I Robert Rube Bobby Rood he's Bobby Rude to me too I felt like he's another person they completely wasted Oh, yeah. I mean, he was firing on all cylinders with that glorious thing that, you know, and he was just so cocky and confident and just, you know, he was a great heel.

And they just, I don't know what went wrong there. And Dawes cool. I always say he needs to give Sean Michaels his gimmick back, but, you know, it's okay. Sean's retired now. But, um, I. I don't know how I feel about Dominic yet. I think they're pushing him to the forefront too soon. And I don't know if it's because of who his father is and he's pushing for him to be jumping up.

I mean, come on, man. The kid had his debut wrestling match at Somerslam against Seth Rollins. I'm like, you're, you guys are kind of pushing him on us. But for the most part, I thought the match went pretty. fine. It's another one I felt like it went a little too long. And you knew Dominic was going to come out at the end.

And it is nice to see that they pulled it out. You know, first father, son, tag team champions ever. So it was kind of a good moment at the end. Yeah. I mean, I agree with you. And yeah, Bobby Rood, they

started out hell strong. And then just, eh, all right, now you're just gonna, we can change the name to Robert Rood. I don't know whose idea that was. I don't really dive into it, but yeah. See, even if they're going to be,

if he's going to be Robert Rude, then he needs to go back to when he was in Impact Wrestling. When he became Robert Rood, it's when he kind of got, he got some kind of trust fund and he was like super rich and wore the suits and kind of, kind of like the glorious

character, but a little bit more heelish. And that's when he became Robert. rude, but it doesn't look like they're doing that either because they're the dirty dogs. I mean, I love Dol Ziegler. I've always loved him. I didn't mind the warming up the band and all that before the, I didn't mind that. I mean, zigzag, I'd still love that, that move. Does he straighten his hair?

Of course he does. Stop it. It was all kind of curled, like naturally curly before. And then I don't know, I don't like it. I mean, I got long hair, everyone, but I can't just have it dangling down. And especially like that, no shirt all sweaty and your hair sticking to you. That was me. I'm like, I mean, I just, I just don't like that.

But yeah, yeah, he straightens his hair. But, I mean, that's what I loved about Dobs Ziegler. I mean, he was always cool. I mean, I loved how he came into the ring. and did his little flip or whatever he did before and then whip his hair. And I thought all that. I loved him.

I mean, he was the show off. Yeah. And now they're the dirty dogs. Okay. I need to go back and watch because I'm like, how did you guys come up with his name? And that's one thing I can say, WWE,

when they throw, because I don't really like tag teams that are just two single wrestlers thrown together because I really don't know how I feel about this RK bro team they're trying to put together and I'm like you guys are never creative with the names. I mean, they have been doing this to me even since I was a little kid,

but when I was a little kid watching wrestling, there was always every now and then, two faces or two heels would team up. but it was always when I was in when introduced to tag teams it was always like the British Bulldogs or the demolition or road warriors and the rockers the rockers and all of them I mean and um I was thought that I was considered them a tag team uh Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkov because they were always together yes they did do single matches the other ones yeah so uh and then the wild Samoans and all them

Speaking of them, I mean, did you finish a young rock? No, I got to finish it. Okay. It was pretty good. I was happy with what he was trying to do. As far as him trying to run for president, I mean, I'd vote for him. Why not? He ain't doing it any time soon.

Yeah. I mean, and it doesn't really fit if you see that, what was it, 2032 is when he's going to run. And he's like, however old he is right now. Oh, my, yeah. Yeah, but to be honest, he'll probably look that, look like that then. Oh, I'm sure you will. I mean, but probably would be bigger. Yeah.

I mean, he's got dedication and everything to get in that gym every single morning. And he's working out right now. Oh, yeah. Work out. Do whatever you got to do. Work out some more. Finish the day. Work out.

Go to bed. You follow him on Instagram? Yeah. That guy loves him some French toast. well he can just go in the gym and pump it all out and I'll never look like the rock anyway

young rock everyone you guys got peacock definitely check out it was a good show but I thought they went pretty hard in this yes it did go a little bit long along because the whole pay-per-view was like a little over three hours

so and I just like hate the little bullshit that they throw in between the matches but that's me everyone um it's different when you're there we don't see all that whatever they show it on the screen but no one's really paying attention but um ray mysterio i mean i've always loved him i mean he still hipes me up every time i hear his music and everything but is he like coming close to the end i mean i know once he left w w e a few years ago and then just was doing all the indie stuff and then they bring them back yeah i think it's time i mean i i read that they want to kind of he wants to pass the mask down to his son because i read there was supposed

to be a whole thing where he was going to change his name to prince for mysterio and he was going to put the mask on but i guess you know w e you know sometimes when you hear something like that might be a good idea. That's probably not what they're going to do. Prince Mysterio. Yeah, because somebody was saying the Ray, in Ray Mysterio means king or something like that. All right.

I agree. Yeah, they pushed him up a little too quick. And yes, it's because of who his father is. So, I mean, but he's still still, still needs some more work he's good I mean he does what he does and he's learning from his father and I'm sure

all the other wrestlers in his life are helping out so I can see the potential of potential of him being like getting better than he is because in this match it looked like he did mess up a couple times but I mean that's even the guys

have been in this business forever they always mess up so I can't really take it away bad take away anything from that but but if he did like mess up constantly through because i've seen matches like that not on wwe but um like indie shows i used to go to wish i can go to more hopefully they start doing them i know they're still doing them now but nothing around my area i mean so i want to go but anyway again i think he's got the potential to be an awesome so i'm I'll watch the kid I liked him

Yeah I knew he was gonna come out at the end because I was like okay We've seen your dad wrestle Who knows how many how many years And now he's gonna take both of them on So I'm like, okay Yeah I knew he was gonna come out But I mean but Ray man he was doing what he had to do He was doing his moves and yeah he did mess up a couple times when he was dealing with

Bobby Rude but it was all right because I was thinking I know you got to be an awesome shape to go to go on and on and on because you see them huffing and puffing but these you got to work work your way and that I don't think I could last a minute doing this even if I knew how to wrestle but I don't know what they do with the breathing exercises but yeah once Dominic came out I was like uh okay I was like all right they're going to win. So, and then I would just kind of set it that way. But, um, the finishing move, uh, once, um, uh, Ray got, uh, Ziegler out of the way. And then, and Bobby Rood was laying there. I love how

when they fall, when, when they get slammed or whatever, and then when someone's going to jump off the top, I see them looking and then they kind of shift in position into position. You're not supposed to see that. I saw it. It was like so obvious. He, Dominic barely made it, but he did. And I thought he looked to not, not to steal Bobby Rude's tag tagline or tag word. I thought Dominic was glorious in the air, especially when they showed the slow motion replay.

Because he got up high and full form, just pretty much chest and knees and it came down on Bobby Rude. And then it looks like he, I don't know if he knocked the wind out of himself because he kind of and then he kind of stumbled before he grabbed Bobby Rue's leg and then pinned him.

So, but again, man, he's still fresh. He's still wet behind the ears. And, but I thought he did good once he got in there. And of course, he really didn't hurt his ribs because he was constantly holding him

when he was outside of the ring. Surprise they didn't do that one thing. they just wrap the tape around. I was like, what does that do? I don't know. I was still hurt. And because when he was out there wrestling, he was like, he wasn't even holding his but then when he remembered, he'd act like it hurt.

I was so, but. It's when the Dolph and Bobby was like, you're supposed to be hurt. But yeah, I thought this match was good. I liked it. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit too long, but it was still good. And I did feel like excited and happy when they had the belts and they were hugging each other and holding them up and all that. So I thought that was a cool little heartwarming moment for father and son team. Yeah, they'll lose it next smack now.

Oh, yeah. You guys had it a week. That's good enough. All right. Vince, I know you're out for the money, but come on. I mean, CBS Sports gave this match an F. Yes, it deserves it. I'll give it an F for that, and I'll give it an F for funny.

Because at first I was like, what, really? But this is the Damien Priest taking on the Mizz Lumberjack match. All right. Vince is just selling his soul to anyone for the right price, I guess. Man, did this have his name all over it. The Netflix, Zach Snyder movie Army of the Dead is coming out. Was it next week? Yeah.

Coming out next week. After I already braved the theater, if they do show this in the theater around me, I think I'll go to the theater and see it. I know I can sit at home and watch it for free, but one of the movies, man, made me want to... Actually, this week. Oh, it's this week? Yeah. I'm like, man, I want to go to the theater again.

I was ready to just play hooky from work. Well, I was going to leave early. Not calling in and say, oh, I'm sick. No, I can't do that. I just been like, I was nervous going back to the theater. But, all right. Okay, it is playing the theaters around me. I guess we'll go this weekend.

Oh, man. that movie popcorn was the best i mean i was buying it and bringing it home but sitting in there watching a movie just shoveling the popcorn and my valet i want to go back at bad anyway army of the army of the dead everyone coming out on netflix and in the theaters next this friday okay um the build up to this was um johnny dripped dripped that that actually makes me laugh because as much as he's as as as talented as he is in the ring which at the end he he was doing some fucking crazy parkour shit yeah but he has fucking no personality and i kind of i kind of laugh when he does the johnny drip drip and he has the

the drip drip glass sunglasses and it's something but this fuck shit this man oh man all right let me read let me just read what it says here on cvias sports uh before the match john morrison went to the locker room where the lumberjacks were waiting when morrison opened the door he found that the lumberjacks were zombies yeah a bit of a crossover marketing for netflix's upcoming army of the dead movie uh would go on to dominate the match as zombies did serve as the lumberjacks, leading to priests and the Miz alternating between fighting the zombies and each other. All right.

Go back to the beginning. Real quick, Batisa said he has no hand in this. Don't blame him at all. He came out and said that. I thought he was going to come running in or something and kill all the zombies. I thought it was weird that he did the intro because he had just recently, like, criticized WWE of their bad booking and the way they handle things. And then I'm like, oh, he's doing the intro.

And then the zombie thing happened. And then he tweeted out that he had nothing to do with that. So don't blame him. I'm like, yeah, I'd say the same damn thing, too. Man, that big check would slid in front of his face. to sell those zeros when I think I can do it. So, but, yeah, I mean, get yours, Dave. Anyway, so John Morrison goes, oh, whatever he's trying to do,

his little slapstick stuff. He goes to the door of the, that says lumberjacks. And no, damn well, they don't put lumberjacks on the dressing room. So he opens the door and there's a room full of zombies there, like the buffest zombies you've ever seen in your life. I will say some of the makeup was pretty good, though. Yeah, I mean, I thought they did a good job on that, how they looked. But as far as these guys must not watch zombie films at all or whoever taught them to walk like zombies didn't do a good job.

Anyway, so those are the lumberjacks. And then Damien Priest comes out or the Miz and John Morrison come out. And then Damien Priest comes out. I see the is doing something goofy like this. But Damien Priest just

I felt sorry for him. I was like, man, this is what they're doing to you? Remember just a couple, a few months ago, he was North American champion in NXT?

Yeah. Now he's a tag team with bad bunny and fighting off zombies. I didn't mind the bad bunny. I was mad up to until he got in the ring. I still thought that was an awesome match.

Yeah, so they come out, then Damien Preece comes out, and then out come to Lumberjacks. I'm like, uh, even Elvis Lumberjack came staggering down, down the ramp. I love these Lumberjack matches. It didn't really go the way I wanted, because usually the Lumberjacks, whoever falls out, they start hitting on them, and then before they throw them back into the ring. I mean, there was none of that.

this but like the zombies didn't even throw anyone back in the ring they were just there but uh i was like okay but and uh of all the people that were um on the screens they were all gone because they made the thunder dome look like a uh a wasteland or something with all the stuff on the screens i was like really uh really quick how do you get on to to have you be on one of the screens you have to pay for that or think you just register and they pick your name they pick your name okay I mean like okay yeah you're wrong but you can't see because you can never see who anyone that's way up top on those screens but anyway me personally I was concentrating on all the zombies

and not really will be paying attention to what was happening in the ring I mean the Miz and Damien Priest they're both awesome and I thought what they did was cool, but the zombies and everything was too distracting. To me, I don't know about everyone else, but, I think you speak for everybody.

This was fucking garbage. I mean, the Miz was the champion a few weeks ago, or before WrestleMania. He had a line WrestleMania a few years ago. And, oh, my gosh. And then, and then Morrison comes out and that's when I said he, he did some, he was doing some fucking crazy-ass parkour flips and all kinds of stuff.

And then he was dragged away by the zombies. So apparently he's dead now. I mean, I liked what he came and running and jumped and kicked him down. And then he climbed up onto the, onto the wall, the ring on the, the separates the crowd. And then I was like, well, what's he going to do? do because he was just standing there and I think those are the guys that were behind the wall zombies were

a little bit late because he stood there for a minute looking around like something that was going to happen then they came up and grabbed him and pulled him in behind the wall I guess he's dead I don't know but yeah Damien Preece ended up

pin in the Mizz and I guess knocked him out I don't know because then the zombies all came crawling into the ring and then just jumped all over the Miz I was like you know it's really gonna piss me off

when Ms. and Morrison show up as zombies on Smackdown or raw or whatever promotion they're on because you know that's what's going to happen we're going to see zombie Johnny drip drip and the Miz And then they're going to get cured by something.

I'm like, oh, fuck. All right. On to the next match. Smackdown Women's Championship match. Bianca Bel Air, this is her first title match. And taking on the Bay Area's champ, Bailey. I have questions. At first, I still wasn't sold on the whole heel turn for Bailey.

but I kind of like her this way more than a little happy give me a hug and all that shit overall I thought the match was good they they went both go super hard I mean all the time I just thought I don't know what happened at the end seemed like there was a few little mess ups but I mean nothing to take away from what they were doing

and then Bianca Bella she definitely deserves her title she was awesome in nxte and then they're bringing them up still not a big fan of a long ponytail but she still does what she does and it's a part of her gimmick so i don't see that going anywhere but i'm going to say this i see it at some point there's going to be a storyline where it gets cut so i don't know just just expect that everyone but what did you think of this match it was okay um uh bianca did what what she does which i I appreciate your, I absolutely agree with you.

She, she deserves to be champion. She deserves to keep the belt. And I also, just like Ria Ripley, I want her to have a lengthy title run. I like Bailey more as a heel than, then hug life and all that shit. But I can't take her serious, man. What is this laugh? Is she supposed to be maniacal and evil? and I just I'm like you're hamming it up so much and I don't know if that's the point or you think you're being villainous or but let me let me get my my man shit out the way real quick I'm I'm an ass man and I want to say Bailey has a nice she's she's pulling a nice wagon back there and I appreciate it salute to you and I like the I like the thing by the the shaving the

her people she's about to beat name in the back of her head. I like that whole thing. A bell loser. Yeah. But I don't know. It's just when she talks, I'm not buying it. I kind of want to see a little less talking and more action with her if she's going to be a heel. Just like that whole, I don't know, was it WrestleMania when she was doing the talk show?

Yeah. I can stop it. stop it right now. That wasn't her idea. It's somebody's and need to stop it because it's, it's not, she's not getting heat for me because she's a heel. It's because I don't want to see her on TV.

So, but as far as the match, it went, it went pretty good, you know, like you said earlier, the women, the women bring it.

And I, I felt like this had a little bit more better pacing. than the raw championship match and you're satisfied with the outcome I don't know if this is going to be a feud continuing because I don't even really know

how the feud started because they were saying that she was always telling Bianca how much of a champion she's not and I'm like you guys just started feuding a couple weeks ago

so she only been a chat for like two minutes um wouldn't this thing with uh bailey and michael cole start uh it's been gone she she always if you go back and watch past matches she always like they're like good friends or something so she always like says something to him you can hear her in this match yeah she's like talk about that michael cole i mean because even when she wasn't wrestling, when she was doing the little talk show thing, she'd always interrupt him and everything. I'm like,

waiting for her to just go over and beat him up. Yeah, he's supposed to be like super good friends with her and John Cena. That's why they got their kind of thing. They're a little back and forth they have sometimes. So, I hate Cory Graves. I hate

him. He bugs the shit out of me. Is he? Is he a heel commentator or is he a good guy? Cause he kind of is in the middle and I don't like that. Cause it's like he's kind of a heel commentator and then you got two guys that are not. I'm like, you need to go all the way. Cause I love it when when he, because he goes in on Sasha. He was like, you know she's gone, you know, she's got stabs going in the back.

I, you know what's going to happen. You know, you can't trust her. and I'm like, damn, she'd do something to you in real life? Told him no. That's why. She was going to say something. He got Carmelo, so he's okay. Oh, yeah, he is.

Yeah, he is. Shit, you said something, I was going to go back to the zombie thing. I don't know. If I remember, I'll bring it back up. But I love, I didn't like her hair at first. I'm a long hair guy, and I didn't like it when she cut it, but I love it. I mean, the other thing I love is I've always been like this since I was a teenager. I like that black eyeliner around the eyes.

I love the bad girl eyeliner. Yeah, I mean, not to say I like the bad girl, but I don't know, something I've always liked. usually the girls that have it from my recollection some of my friends they're pushing 50

and they still got that stuff on their eyes and I always tell them you're like a 10-time grandma you need to wash all that shit off but I thought the match was really good I mean again

the women always go hard and both of these gals went hard the whole raked when Bailey raked Bianca to the eye and either Bianca did that or Bailey did it

I don't know but Bianca Belor wears those fake eyelashes and she kept messing with it like right after she raked the eye so I assume that's when it happened she should have just pulled it off because she kept bothering it every chance she got from after it happened to the end of the match.

And then she was really going for it when she was, she was trying to fix it, but she couldn't, it wouldn't fix. So she just tore it off as she was backing up, up the ramp. I think Bailey was supposed to pull it off because she was doing little stuff like that in a match,

like, uh, she went for the eyes, which I kind of felt like she was trying to pull the eyelashes off. And then, um, she pulled her earring at one point. So I think she was trying to do stuff like that and she kind of didn't pull it all the way off and it was getting in her eye

But I mean it was cool I mean Bailey does what she does I mean yeah she's the the heel now I always love when heels when they're pinning them grabbing the ropes to give them more Just more more holding down stuff I mean she did that twice it towards the end and I thought that was cool. Belly to Bailey, I was Bailey to Belly, Bailey to Bailey, whatever you call it.

I thought I always loved that move. But Bianca Bell Air, man, I thought they kind of met, the ending was a little sloppy. Because Bailey wrapped her hair, I think was around her arm. Bianca's ponytail, and then she kind of got out of that.

And then Bianca used her hair to fall back and pin Bailey. And it was clearly you could see it. I don't know why the ref didn't call it, but all right. I think they're going to use this to have a rematch. Yeah. You can't just have one. I mean, this feud has to go on for a little while.

So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, Bianca pinned Bailey and that was it. And then you hear Bailey screaming at the rev. Come on, rev, and all that shit. But overall, I did enjoy the match. All right, this one I was expecting a little bit more. I mean, there was at times where I was like, oh, but it's always hard to deal when you're dealing with big wrestlers. And this is the WWE championship match.

The champ right now is Bobby Lashley. And he took on the almighty champ. Yeah. The almighty champ, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman. All right, really quick. I liked that they were pushing brawn. I thought that was cool. I loved what he did.

I even loved a little crappy when he won his tag team belt with Nicholas. I don't know what they were thinking, but that little kid, Nicholas, if you're listening, Matt. Right on, brother, you got your belt. So good, good for you. I still don't understand who that kid was and why. But, all right, I just figured it was someone of son of somebody. Nobody knows. This match, I've always said this big guys only have a handful of moves, but I thought these guys all did a good job, especially Drew McIntyre.

I've liked them when he was the 3MB with Heath Slater and Jender Mahal. Speaking to that, man, I hope he gets the title again. I liked when he was the, when he was the champ. Yeah, I like his little crewie he came back with. They finally brought some of them wrestles over from when they do them Saudi Arabia shows. I wonder if they're going to start doing that again. If not, I doubt it'll be hopefully within the next year or so they do that again. I did like those, the greatest world rumble and the other thing they did.

But what the fuck is Mansour and Ali? Are they on Raw? I think Monsoor is on I don't even Is it still a thing 305 live? I don't know

Whatever it's called I guess I don't know I think he's in the Cruzeaway division Where's the Singh brothers Bring them back I like them

I need to get rid of them boots Bother me My favorite one Dealing with the Singh brothers I can't remember What pay-per-view was when Randy Orton like slammed one of them. Oh, and he made that face like, oh, shit.

Because he knew he heard one of them. Because he slammed him right on his head. He like just, whoa, sorry, bro. But this match, it started out good. I mean, Bobby Lashley, he's been around for a long time. And then he was, then he was gone. Then he came back. So I knew they were going to put a belt on him.

at some point. But I thought this match was cool when they were just manhandling each other. When Braun-Stromen got a hold to everyone, he was always messing everyone up. And even, Braun even took to the,

took to the skies when he dove off the side of the ring. I got scared on that one. So did I, because I thought he was going to fall on his head. But it was still cool. It was a shocker to see a big guy come flying off the ring.

So I thought that was cool. but I think the part that I liked is when Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashy started fighting up the ramp and kind of going to where the LED screens are when at one scene at one point Bobby was slamming Drew McIntyre against one and then I don't know if it messed up

the lights or unplug something because part of it just like went black and stayed that way the whole time But yeah, I did love when Drew McIntyre threw Bobby Lashley through it. But you can clearly see them set up for it and running while we went crashing through it. So I thought that was cool. And then that's when Stroman came running up and grabbed McIntyre before. I think when it was just them two going at it because Bobby Lashley was gone for a couple minutes.

I thought they went pretty hard, especially those guys. And for Drew McIntyre, I mean, he's been in a WWE for a long time in the beginning. And then they let him go. I'm glad and I'm happy they brought him back because they, I liked the 3MB and all that. I thought it was funny. But I felt kind of bad for him. Like, oh, man, this is what they're going to do to you. But okay.

I like how he is now. I mean, I've watched matches when he's got no beard or anything, and it doesn't look like Drew McIntyre. I like this guy, and I think he's badass, and I'm glad that they brought him back, and they're giving him more time to shine. But, yeah, because once Drew and Bronner were in the ring beating the hell out of each other, um, did, uh, was it Drew, did McIntyre give him a Bronner, Claymore? before he fell down?

Yeah, he was about to do the, his running power slam and then Drew slipped out the back and then ran out the ropes and gave McLeanour. But I like the, I like the spot when they was outside the ring when he tried to give him a claymore and he caught him in the air. Yeah. And power bottomed him on the table. I was like, okay.

Oh, yeah, I love, though, I think they were more harder on the outside, the ring than in the ring and I know those rubber mats aren't soft and I give it to them when they go flying flying out or getting slammed on them I mean even Bailey doled between the ropes she knocked over Bianca but went straight to the the mats but so yeah those those two big guys were going at it for a minute and then Bron got slammed and then I already got the claim more and then Bobby Lashley came jumping in the ring out of nowhere.

I was like, oh, I knew where it was going right there. So he, he, um, he, uh,

knocked a McIntyre out of the ring and then he, he pinned, uh, Braun Stromen and he's still the champ. I can give it to them for going really hard. I did like the end because I was, I want Drew McIntyre to be the champ again, but I said,

uh, he's got a, he's got to pin Bobby Lashley. I mean, don't, don't put him. out like that so but that didn't happen so but overall i mean i did enjoy the match yeah i did too um i thought the pacing was a little bit better than other matches and uh on this card i like bobby as

champion i think is long deserved you know he he never really i mean i don't i don't count the ecw title belt because that's not the real eccdb and he he left and he he left and he He left and he was doing his MMA thing and then he went to Impact and won all the I think he fucking won every single belt over there. And it was time.

And I think if they're smart, they'll book him and a return in Brock Lesner because everybody always wanted to see them in an MMA fight, but you're never, you're not ever going to get that. So why not make it a wrestling

match? And Braun, I don't know where he goes from here. I really don't. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I like to see him, I mean, get all the belts, but I don't know what they're doing with him. I mean, I'm glad they got him out of the, what was Adam Rose's deal? Are they the, the rose buds? Yeah, I'm glad that he's not that anymore.

You know, I'm supposed to remember when he was Rosebud. You couldn't. He was like the biggest one out there. I did like the, the, the Wyatt family stuff when he was the black sheep. I was like, you want him? You want a Y family or Rosebud? Well, I kind of want a rosebud. That's what I was about to say.

He was more happy. Yeah, he was cheesoned ear to ear. all the good old days yeah I thought that was cool but um Roman rains the Universal champ match Roman reigns taking on

the Swiss cyborg is what they call him Zezaro I guess I like both of these guys I'm a Roman reins guy I'll sit I'll sit at his table any day of the week

but what's this shit with the usos so you're acknowledging him yeah what's what's with them man i'm like it's okay i see jim jay getting ready to have a match yeah but my thing with the way my mind work i i kind of i kind of write my own storyline i feel like they're building this up to to be a swerve on somebody that he's he's he's a part of the table he's acknowledged his uh his uh his uh leader his uh what they call head of the table yeah and i i feel like this is all a big swerve that he's he's really with the family because that's that's what i want i want them to i like factions i always like factions and crews and wrestling.

And I want them to build this like Samoan dynasty of heels. And that's what I want to happen. But sometimes we don't get what we want. Yeah, I'm with you, man. Ever since you said it that first time, I want that a big Samoan crew. Yeah, bring the eye of jacks. Yeah.

All of them. Bring them all in. I mean, I want that. This is how. you set up the match with the rock because he comes in and he's going to try and pull that you know

I've been I've been on top in the family for a while and then he just gets jumped by the family and then you set up a WrestleMania match that's what I see I hope so I mean I love when the rock comes back

he always hypes everyone up but I don't know we'll we'll see where it's going I don't want say so a lot of people are saying oh they're just pushing roman rains because uh they don't have the rock anymore and i'm like okay i mean knowing how vince thinks i would say all right that's what he wants he wants he wants this second coming of the rock yeah but he's so good as a heel it works i just like like he's not you remember when he was saying stupid shit like suffering succotash and weird shit like that.

Now he's just like calm and cool and menacing. And he's just like like the smack down before this, he was just telling Jimmy, he was just like, acknowledge me or take your ass home. And when you when you watch when your kids watch me on or watch the TV and wonder why you're not there, just tell them there. There's something about, I couldn't be there with the head of the table. and the Uso. I was like, ooh,

you're not even, you're not even the Uso. It works for me. Yeah, I don't know, man. We'll see what happens. But as far as the match,

I liked what was happening. Yeah, at first I was like, De Cisarro sharpen his teeth, and then I realized it was a mouthpiece. I'm glad that he wears that mouthpiece. piece now because after that a mishap

when he slammed his face on the top of the ring post and knocked his teeth out oh he didn't knock him out they got knocked into his gum oh okay I thought they knocked him out yeah that's what everybody they thought his teeth were knocked out but they

he hit so hard they went up in his gum well I know you can't I mean well if I guess they didn't break you can pull him down and hopefully grow back onto the gum I remember reading he had to have emergency surgery like right after the match

yeah I'll give it to him because he did finish that match it didn't just end right then so but yeah just got to be careful mishaps happened in the ring but again I'm a Roman Rains guy but I was leaning towards Azarro because I like what they're doing with him I did not like that whole

Seamus and Sezaro thing at all though we are the bar whatever the fuck they were saying that I hated that I did like the whole James Bond thing he was doing for a minute Oh it's a tear away suit Yeah I didn't mind all that

But I thought they both do good I mean these are big guys too But uh Cesar was a little more in the air guy but they still did what they did. Again, big guys and so many moves, but Roman is doing his best. Of course, he's got to do his spears and Superman punches and all that. So Superman punch not work anymore?

I don't know, man. It was a little sloppy this match. As well as I love Cizaro's uppercuts. He did them, but they didn't not look like they connected or even come close to. connecting that one when he dove off the top of the rope and then and and got it that looked awesome but then it looked all sloppy do you think they just don't

work well together um because even when caesaro put what's his move his finisher the neutralizer yeah it doesn't even look like the Romans even really taking those uh-uh I I don't know I think I guess is I mean it moves were good with certain type of people. So, I don't know. That's the only way I can say on how I see it in the ring. But I don't know. I mean, but they did they both do what they do in every single match,

even if they're taking on someone else. But I wasn't leaning more towards a Cesarow win. I mean, I'm still sitting at the table with Roman Rains, but I like what they're doing Cesarro now. He was always single until they teamed him up with Seamus. And then at that point, I thought they were getting ready to get rid of him. Because I knew they were going to keep Seamus. But usually when they team someone up with somebody

is when they're getting ready to throw him out the door. But I'm glad they didn't. So I see this feud going on for a little bit longer before the feud. Uso's, so I'm not really sure yet on what they're trying to do. But overall, I mean, I thought the match was what it was. I thought it was good, but the thing at the end, when Rollins came out, I was like, okay. But is that going to lead into something? Maybe he's acknowledged the head of the table.

I thought Roman Reins was going to start firing on him, but Seth Riland's attacked Cizaro. I think that's just to take Cizaro off of Roman and move Roman on to somebody else. Yeah, probably, but I don't know. but and I don't like the the new

uh, the new uh, set Rallens music. I don't even like the new Roman Raines music. I'm like, it doesn't get me hyped up when, uh,

with this new music, but yeah, but he can't have the shield music anymore. That's, he should have never had the shield music. Yeah. I don't, I,

I agree with that. And I, I do, I do agree. I wish Rollins goes back to his old music. And you like his suit? No. His suit?

No. I don't like any of that. I think Johnny drip drip's going to get mad. No. I don't know. But yeah, overall, what did you think of the match?

I thought it was pretty good. For the most part. it was a little sloppy here and there. Like we were talking about earlier, maybe they just don't work well together in the ring. But I thought Cesar was bringing it. I love his little, his pop-up European uppercuts.

I love when he does that. And, yeah, for the most part, it was what it was. I expected the outcome to be what it is because I don't see them taking the belt off Roman anytime. soon. Yeah.

I just wish there was a good ending to this match. I didn't like the guillotine to just choke out. I was like, really? That's how you're going to end this match? Usually, don't they hold their arms up and make sure that they're out? Because Roman had Cesarro and the guillotine, but then he kind of got out of it for a second. And then he was good. And then Roman got him again and held it there for a few seconds.

And then the ref ran over. Ding ding, ding, ding. And they rung the bell. I was like, you didn't even check him. Yeah, I think they're trying to get away from the old where, you know, on the third time that the hand's about to drop. Then it pops up. And then I always envisioned a Hulk, just hulking out and kidding up. But I think they're trying to get away.

make it more like realistic like the the ref recognize that he was unconscious and and called the match yeah we'll we'll see uh where this goes um i didn't watch raw tonight or last night i caught i caught some of it but um and did are they continuing with this or uh well this is smack down that's a smackdown that's right Right. Yeah. As far as the raw championship, um,

he did a, he did an open challenge to, I guess anybody to just not for a title match, of course, you know, it's, it's on raw. And,

uh, Cofy answered the challenge and, uh, he won by, uh, interference, uh, Drew McIterter interfered.

Any Penn Roman. So I don't know if they're going to push Coffy as the next challenger. Which, I would, I would, I would kind of like to see Bobby and Kofi go out of it. Yep. But as far as the next pay-per-view, that's next month.

All right, cool, right on nice and quick. Sunday, June 20th, and this is 2021's Hell and a Cell. Again, no audience. It's going to be in the Thunderdome again. So I liked it. Wrestling kept going this whole time, this whole year and a half. It kept going.

I like that. But I didn't like when it was all quiet in there. And now I'm not liking the fake crowd sounds. It's cool to see everybody on the TV screens and everything in the background. But I don't know. It just doesn't. it doesn't grab me so but i don't know what they're going to do well if if everything goes according to what i read they they want to do this is going to be the last pay-per-view without a

crowd um well i hope so i mean i'd like to go to a live event i'm definitely going to russlemania next year but um i don't know why i was thinking about that dude come down man in their deep. Um, she, I was going to say something else. But, um,

overall, I mean, I thought I wasn't expecting much out of, uh, WrestleMania backlash, but I mean, I got some good moments. And yeah,

there was some, that, well, there was one bad moment, but, yeah, I gotta blame Vince for that one. But I mean,

but overall, I mean, I see where it's going, but, uh, yeah I guess that's it unless you got anything else to say I just better not see zombie miz and Morrison

I don't know we'll see everybody thank you so much for listening do check out the other shows Brian and I do the action returns what was that? Mortal Kombat was the last one the next one's going to be what's that movie called?

Without remorse. Yeah, the new Amazon original with Jordan. Yeah. Really quick. I heard that they were going to bring him back for Waukanda forever.

I mean, you can. Flashbacks or what? I don't know. I mean, you can. I don't think he'll be the next Black Panther. I don't know. And Creed 3. I heard that that's a goal.

But he's directing. Yeah, I don't know who he's in a fight. I would like to see another Drago fight, but I don't know. Yeah, I don't want to see nobody else's son because I'm just, you can't just have everybody's son of whoever boxed Rocky happen to be a boxer. So, yeah, I would like to see them go at it one more. time. And as far as

stream fiends, so THR presents stream fiends. We got cloak and dagger coming for you. Not that dumb show that was on the Hulu or

whatever one of those channels. Taylor co-sons that show. I like the cloak and dagger comics, but I didn't care for the TV show. I gave it a shot. But hey,

I wasn't made for us old time. It was made for you. Yeah. The younger generation of Marvel fans. I can't speak on it. I only can watch one episode. I got a few in and I was like, I couldn't handle it.

Same thing with the runaways. I couldn't handle that either. That one I did kind of enjoy, but I watched it with my daughters. So it kind of got them a little bit more than me. So that kind of added to it. But yeah, not for me. not when you're an old man sitting there watching it but yeah as a clothing dagger

without remorse is that what you said yeah that was uh action returns and for stream fiends 1992's gladiator yep we got out of those coming everyone um the regular show the horror returns just dropped an episode
