Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. I'm Nes, you guys already know that, but with me, the true king of the north, the brutal one. My brother Brian, what's up, man? How's it going? What's up? Trying to stay king of the north. Trying to keep it brutal. WrestleMania, 37, day two, the official WrestleMania, Sunday. Hopefully next year it was just WrestleMania Sunday. None of this

two night crap. I didn't like it last year. I only liked the one match yesterday or last night, but tonight I know there was a lot of criticism about last night, but last night was better than today, I thought. Yes. Oh, man.

I was excited for the main event. I was excited for Oscar and Ria Ripley. And they didn't deliver. In my opinion, they didn't deliver. But we'll just run through the first match. I was recording another episode for East Society or a Blu-ray update with the at Blu-ray Taylor. or Blu-ray terror, I'm sorry, Taylor. We were recording that and I missed the first maybe half hour.

So I had to wait for the replay because for some reason, Peacog doesn't let you start it over. And you can't pause any live stream either. Yeah, I noticed that last night because I had to go to the bathroom. So I just held it. But I don't know, hopefully it could, complaints and everything will come in and maybe they'll do something about it because when it was on just a regular network you were able to pause it uh when you start you can either watch it live or watched uh from the beginning i don't know why you can't do it here but we're not in charge of all this but uh sure uh no uh no rain this uh today was there uh not that i heard of uh i think everything kind of went up

smoothly. It was noticeable yesterday. You can see rain, raindrops in the background, or you can see the ring kind of wet, but I didn't really see any of that tonight. I think it was a little well, I'm sure it's just humid

in Florida regardless, but there was a couple of, one slip that I noticed, and when we get to that match, I'll bring it up, but tea man, Titus O'Neill and Hulk Hogan, not Hollywood Hogan.

I never liked Hollywood Hogan. I don't care what anyone says. The question is, do you like Pirate Hogan? No, I didn't like that either. I didn't like Pirate. Titus O'Neill either. I'm cool with the NWO and everything, but the Hollywood Hogan thing. A little hulkster, I was, Hulkomaniac.

I wasn't buying it in the 90s But I mean he had to change with the time So I can still appreciate it Hulk Hogan is still one of my favorite wrestlers of all time But Yeah man They came out in their pirate gear They probably wanted to do it last night

But it was just raining So they probably just scratched it But Hogan made the comment Like man it's hot in this Because I've never been to Florida So I just hear It's hot. and humid like all the time so it it is it I've been a couple times it is very hot and humid

yeah I mean I want to go to Disney World at some point but I don't know when to go is it hot and humid like year round or is there a time where it's not so hot and humid I mean I'd rather go I can deal with the humidity I don't like it but if I had to long as it's not hot that's my only yeah I think I think I went. It had to been like June or July the last time I went and I got sun burnt

immediately like the first day. Oh man. I don't know. I'll eventually get there. Maybe when the grandson's older. But they better grow up fast because

I'm getting older. I'm on the old man out there and dropping from the heat at Disney World or wherever we're at. All right. looked like the crowd was hyped again because when everyone came out,

I thought that was cool. But I was noticing the crowd yesterday on how separated everyone was. But I mean, as it went on, everyone didn't seem to care. But it seemed like there was no masks today. I saw some there. But a lot of people were like,

must have said, fuck it. It didn't even put the mask on. It's Florida. But the thing that was weird, though, I mean, the camera angle, when you see the ring, when we're looking at it on the TV screen, the stage is off to the left and the announcers are off to the right. But the audience that we can see, for those of you that have never been to one of these live events, where the cameras are, they take up a lot of space over there.

I mean, they're still right there in the crowd and there's seats all the way around them and everything. But if you're like right behind those cameras, it's no good for you. But the crowd that we can see the whole time. There is one guy that I see there like pretty much every pay-per-view. I don't know how much cost to sit in the very front row at regular either Raw or just whatever other pay-per-views they do. but I know WrestleMania those tickets

I don't know if there are a thousand like flat out but I know that people once everyone's getting them and then people start to slang them and all

thousand is always like the cheapest and I could not pay $1,000 to sit in the front what I love to sit in the front of course I mean I'm sure we all would

but I would even if I was a jillionaire I would feel bad about you know he's $1,000 for four hours or however long it is.

I don't know if I could do that. I mean, do you think you can drop a thousand for to sit through something like this? I always said like if I was like hella rich, I would probably still be cheap. So no, I don't. Maybe if I got some kind of discount,

you know, if I buy this many tickets, you know, can I get, you know, 50% off or something or I don't know. Yeah. I mean,

if I had to pay a thousand for like seven, Or eight tickets are right, but not one. But anyway, there used to be this other guy with long hair that was always sitting up front. I haven't seen him. He wasn't there these last couple days. But there's another gentleman, a little short guy, dark hair or dark, dark skinned. I don't know if he's native or if he's Mexican or whatever, but he's at all these things. And he's always wearing that seam, Natalia, pink, that black and pink with the, with the heart.

on it he's always wearing that shirt he was right there in front holding up his sign I love Natalia I mean I remember seeing things where she would always go give him five or all because I am sure she notices him because he's always there if we see them all the time I'm sure they do as well but yeah it was good to see that that was the only one that I recognize it that was always at all these things but I don't think I can drop that that money I mean I'm cheap when I go to these things I'm way in the nosebleeds I don't care.

I still have a good time. But all righty, night two, WrestleMania 37. The first match was kind of like, okay. I mean, I don't think you should have been first, but all right.

This was The Feigned, Bray Wyatt, taking on the Viper, Randy Orton. But it started off with, back at Fast Lane, which I didn't see the end of it, because really quick.

I watched most of Fastline. I didn't see the last couple matches. But then I said, I'll get to it when I can. I was going to watch it to the day one morning. And then I clicked on the network. I said, sorry, everything's over on Peacock. You motherfuckers. So I'm eventually going to go back and watch the rest of it.

But the fiend, Randy Orton, said I'm on fire. I just saw what they should. showed at the beginning of this. I actually liked how he looked when he came back at Fastling. He kind of reminded me for those of you that listen to Slipknot.

The clown when he had the bandaged face mask. I like that. I thought he looked like that like a burnt up version, but we didn't get that this time. I thought that was cool. Shout out to the guys that make those masks.

I think his name is at Bacon Jason on Instagram. I know him and he works with Tom Savini. They designed that first mask for The Fiend. So I thought that was pretty cool. I hate Bray Wyatt, but I like that mask. And see,

I'm a fan of Bray Wyatt and I hated everything about this match. I feel like they build him up just to have him lose. Exactly. Big fucking waste of time. and you hurt you hurt the character yeah especially with I know I'm kind of going on a tangent here but that whole shit with Goldberg when they had him lose I don't get it I don't understand why you put all this effort and money and time and just just throw it away because I just kind of had this feeling before the finish of the match like he's going to lose I thought he was going to win because of all this buildup they were doing. I mean, every week, just

boom, boom, boom, yeah, the fiends come in, yeah, he's got burned up, yeah, he's got a new look and, and I'm not, I'm not digging this Alexa Bliss, sister Abigail thing or whatever she's calling herself, I was like, oh, okay,

I mean, I like it. I don't like it. She's kind of sexy. Now, now with all the black vial coming out at the mouth, that's not sexy. I was about to say I did like that. But that's me, everyone.

But yeah, I mean, especially there's the buildup, uh, Alexa Bliss coming out. I hate that playhouse fiend or what, what's that called the, uh, the firefly fun house. Oh, I hate that. And I hate that song. I was like, uh, and I,

I don't know what they're doing. To me, I don't, I don't like it. But anyway, she came out. She's hot. I can give her that. And I do like the ponytail tails and everything. Go ahead. I was confused.

Did she distract him with what she was doing? That's what I figured. Is that what they're trying to say? I guess. Yeah, I was like, ugh. Because she comes out and hypes everyone. Well, Randy Orton already came out. And so he's sitting there waiting in the ring.

She comes skipping. down the long-ass ramp. I assume they rolled out that big giant fiend in the box with the pentagrams and everything all over it before we actually seen it, the home, home audience. I know those parents that are complaining about the whole fiend run. They say it's too scary. We can't let our kids watch it. And then when the fire and the pentagrams and this and that,

know they're flying off the hinges with that. So see because when that, you can see the big pendergans right on the side of the box and when it opened up. There was a big giant one right there. Yeah. I say if your kids ain't scared and crying, they ain't doing a good enough job. I mean,

I thought, like I said, when he was all burned up, I mean, I thought that looked good and it was awesome. That looked scary. I wouldn't want to see that. I was waiting for that guy to come out.

So she comes out and then then she's down there waiting and then the big video comes on of Bray Wyatt and he's all burnt up walking down this hall and there's a jump that the effects on this was terrible. Like a big flash type of thing and then he's the fiend again. I never liked. I never liked his whole hillbilly swamp thing or whatever the hell they were doing with the Wyatt family. all that. I never liked any of that. I did like when they come out with his little lantern and

everybody's turning on their cell phones to be fireflies and all that. I always thought that was cool. But I don't know. I just never dug any of it anyway. So she starts winding the jack in a box and then he comes rising out, which I thought was cool. It was a good entrance. He gets up there and she's dancing around doing stupid and then all of a sudden he just dives off the top of the top of the that box to start off the match, which I thought was cool in just like kind of cross-bodied Randy Orton and then

whoever must have been on the bell must have been ready because he was in the air, and they started the match. And then the match went nowhere. I was like, oh, wow. And it was fast, too, didn't you think so? Yeah, again, I don't understand.

I don't understand a buildup. I don't know why it was first. I don't know why it was rushed. Randy he did not he could have he could have lost I mean what is he like 14 15 time world champ yeah I mean could have took a hell he could have I mean it's not like he had a belt I mean it was just a big story that was building up to hopefully the fiend was going to start to do something again and nothing I was like ah because they were going doing what they do um the fiend was getting ready to give

Randy Orton the sister Abigail but then other than the match was in red light the whole time Alexa Bliss appears up on top of the Jack in the box or the Fiend in the box or whatever you want to call it and she's sitting there and she's got this black

crown on her head and her eyes and like you clearly see they must have did more added more makeup to her face and then all this black stuff starts coming out of the I guess it's supposed to be like just pouring out the top of her head but you can see it coming out

of that little crown thing she was wearing and distracts the fiend and he's looking up her like oh well what and then from out of nowhere RKO 1, 2, 3 done I was like that's it

I was like man I thought if anything how I wanted it and her to distract Randy Orton and then the fiend come running in and then just immediately doing the sister Abigail or one of his other moves

and then one, two, three. And the mandible claw rip off. I hate that. I mean, there should be like, no, don't use anyone else's moves. But that's me. And what was this shit at the end? After Randy won, he just, hey, yeah,

and got out of the ring and then Alexa Bliss is, city in there looking at the Fiend and all that shit's pouring on her face which I thought was pretty hot and then it goes black I mean the lights go out

for I don't know how long props to the guys that are putting on this production because when the lights come back on boom everyone's gone obviously Alexa Bliss probably just drop back down the box and I assume the theme if he didn't dive into the box

maybe he slid off the stage or something. I don't know what, but I mean, they're pretty fast because they always d'all is either. Even when the Undertaker, when the lights go out and they come back on and he's standing in the ring,

I always thought that was cool. Only one time I saw something. I was at Royal Rumble, I think it was 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona. When the lights came out, it was during the CM Punk and Rock Run. The lights weren't, went out and the shield came running in beat up the rock and then when the lights came back on

the rock is laying there all beat up and punk is getting ready to take over it you saw them run in I mean it made it it got it got pretty dark in there but you can still kind of see something you just saw these images or you saw these like dark guys just run in there beat the hell out of rock and you could clearly see it was the shield but only if you knew the how they looked. But I don't know here. I mean, it looked like it got pretty dark.

Plus they're outside. And I'm sure the moon wasn't out. So I don't know. But again, I don't know what they were trying to do with this whole buildup and nothing. And is this going to lead into something else? I don't know.

I'm kind of, I'm over it. I think they drop the ball again when they can't. They just continue. to build up his character and then just do nothing with it. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, Vince, I don't know what you guys are doing. Come on. Come up with a bitter product.

All right, enough of that one. CBS Sports, they gave that match a C-minus. All right, I can agree with that. All right, the next match. This is one I was looking forward to. The women's tag team championship match, Nia Jackson and Shana Bazelor, taking on, they're the champs right now taking on Natalia

and Tamina. I thought this match was pretty good. I, they went really hard. Natalia took one to the face that didn't look that didn't look fake. Of course it was... From Naya?

No, from Shana when she beat her in the face. I seen I forgot what part of the match it was. Naya gave her a pretty stiff little forearm shot too. Yeah, that was right in the beginning. And

what's in our Tamina, she looked like she twisted Shana Bazler's knee pretty good because that didn't look like it was I mean, she probably just did it really quick and because it looked like it snapped her knee because she had stumbled and

immediately held her knee and I'll give it to Nia Jax, man. She's a big gal and coming off that second rope. Looks like she banged her knee up too. I don't know why she doesn't wear knee pads like everyone else, but I guess to each zone when you're in there.

But I mean, I thought this match was good. They went really hard. There was a few mis-slipp-ups. I mean, with moves they were trying to do. But, I mean, overall, I thought it was a good match. I was entertained. This was another one that went pretty quick. I said it last night.

I don't like to mean his ring gear, but. hey do what you want um she's uh she's a big gal too she's not as big as naya but um she's uh she's she's built though i mean i don't know how tall she is i know nia jacks is pretty tall but natty i love her but uh i hate when she's screaming and yelling i don't know i just don't like her voice but um they they they are they all four of them all four of these ladies were out there doing it and i thought it was one of the better matches on the whole car but yeah that um that knee to the face that uh natty took from shana basler that looked like it connected hard because she flew back and immediately held her mouth and i was like oh fuck but

yeah that forearm the night jacks gave her and they were beating the shit out of natty so but um it was a good match man what you think of it yeah yeah i thought i think it was a decent match um not the outcome I wanted. I think I would have preferred if Natty and Tamina won and if they would have not the finish that they had last

night to win the tacting turmoil I wanted that finish tonight where if you remember Natty was going to excuse me if Natty was going to put the sharpshooter on and then she stopped and told Tamina go to the top and do the splash I would have loved

that that would have been to finish her for tonight for them to win the tag team titles because their whole thing of being a team was they didn't want to live off their father's names and wanted to be their own individual or in this case of their own team well I'm sorry their father's moves so I don't know what to tell you I mean but that's what we want to see I mean I understand that but when you're daughters of two famous other than the heart family and Jimmy Superfly, man.

Of course you want, we want to see that. I mean, every time Tamina goes up top and yeah, throws up the horns and everything and does the splash, man, I love all that. Does she do as good as her dad? No, but I still love it every time she goes up there.

Natty, sharpshooter, of course, man. That's all she does. And she does it good. So she's been in this for a while so it was good to see get her little quick

short title run to me that she's has she's won a belt before hasn't she I don't think so I don't think she's ever won anything I was thinking did she ever win a tag team I don't think she's won tag team women's championship

none of that I mean she's been there a while I know she has a little controversy a few years ago, but nothing too serious. But, yeah, I thought they were going to win for sure. Because Naya and Shane have been, been it for a while, and they're always talking shit.

I mean, I like them. It was kind of a weird combo. But, hey, man, you take whatever if we're going to give you a title run. So I was all right that they won, that they're still the champs. But I think when you have these big, buildups and you lead to

WrestleMania. You should or maybe not everyone should drop the belt but I think I think if Natalia and Tamina won tonight I would have been all right cool whatever

I mean especially Tamina she's if she's never had anything this would have been perfect for her because they just I don't want to say she's a jobber but that's what they see you with her. You can say that. she super kick me so i don't know she seems rough and tough man i

no i'm good but man she um when uh natalia slingshot um uh shana basler and tamina gave her that super kick that looked like that connected like not softly like hella hard because she her neck jerk back hell of two unless she just sold it super good. I thought that was one of the highlights

of the match, but I did love when Naya cross-bodied both of them off the second row. I don't know how much this young lady weighs, but do. That's what she looked like she came down

on her knee pretty hard. But overall, I did enjoy the whole match. I thought it was cool. It was one of the better ones. But onto this one there was times where it was good then there was times like how many times are we going to see this match and this is uh kevin owens versus sammy zane and for some reason dumbass uh logan paul what's there i did know what was that guy when is that fight that he's supposed to have i don't know i keep hearing that somebody else is gonna fight mayweather instead did he beat up

somebody on his last fight that they were hyping up I think his last he fought the same guy another YouTuber I think the first one was a draw and then he lost the last one which honestly I'm not I'm not a fan of him but I felt like he maybe should have won that last one

I'm up to go to YouTube the only one I've seen is that one when he knocked out that basketball guy oh that that's his brother the black guy no the the guy you're thinking of Jake Paul Jake Paul okay yeah

yeah this is Logan okay whatever I mean I mean my son was like why is he there I don't know

you tell him you had the same question yeah I don't know why they bring it in these guys maybe the flavor of the month hey let's get him in here I don't know I guess my son said yeah he did some YouTube video where I guess they went to that suicide

forest in Japanese and walking around their filming and they found somebody hanging and they filmed it I was like oh my God you never seen it no yeah he he got a lot of shit for that he was losing endorsements and that was when YouTube was like making shows and movies

and he got he got cut from all that because uh it was really disrespectful and he he tried to say he wasn't because they were filming it and there were there were some of them were like giggling and laughing and he said he was he was only laughing out of being nervous and i was like no yeah it was conveniently you were nervous now that you're in trouble for it that that's when i was like you're you're a punk and then to uh to upload it i mean yeah I'm like, oh, man, I mean, I haven't seen it. I don't want to see anything like that. I mean, they, they blur the body, but it, it is someone that, that hung themselves.

No, I'm good. I don't want, I don't want to see that. Yeah. Speaking of that, did you like that movie The Forest? I didn't mind it. I didn't mind it. I didn't either. Yeah.

I only saw it because of that chick, that one that was in Game of Thrones. I like her. I ain't going to lie. That's why I saw it, too. That was the only reason I watched it, but I wouldn't go there. I'm good. Even if I did, I'm staying on that trail. I'm good.

I'm a believer. So, but I definitely ain't going there after he actually found a body there. I'm like, no, not this guy. Well, I'll listen to those guys that said stay on the trail. So I'm like, I know, I'm good. I'll drive by. Okay. I saw it.

So, because I would like to see Mount Fuji. but if that forest, is it just one section or is it the whole all the way around the whole mountain? It could be the whole mountain to me. I don't know. I'm not going.

I don't know. We'll see. But what did you think of this match, first of all? I wanted this to be the match that stole the night, but it was just an average match. And the reason why I said, I wanted it to steal. night because we've seen what they can do when they get in the ring with each other and I just

I don't I don't think I can honestly I can see Sammy retiring soon because it just seems like he's not in it no more yeah it seems like he's just I mean he's not struggling in the ring I think just when he's got the mic and all that and I don't know I just never thought he was really good on the Mike I mean Kevin Owens he is what it is he's talk shit on the mic and talk shit in the ring for a big guy man he flies all over the ring so I mean I love him for that but and the bro yeah real quick and the the finish of this was kind of weird I mean you let Logan Paul push you down to the to the ground to the mat and it just I don't know I would have wanted it to because it looked like Kevin didn't appreciate

appreciate that. And I would have loved to see, not them team up, but just kind of, for a second there, just kind of have the mutual respect, you know, stunner. Stunner followed by Huluva kick, and then they just kind of go their separate ways.

And we don't have to see Logan Paul ever again. Yeah, I don't know what was going on with that. I mean, the match would have been fine. even if nobody was there if it was just them um i always go back to the nxte match which was amazing again if you guys haven't seen that definitely look it up on youtube see the whole thing or if you have the networking you can uh or peacock you can uh watch it all there but uh i liked what was going on i thought they were doing really good moves taking hard bumps

like both i mean i love how it goes back and forth first sammy zane sammy zane was kicking ass and then i for half the match and then Owens comes in and finishes it all up. I love the power bombs he does. I love he doing. He just does the little cannonball things and flying in and out of the ring. I love all that and the splashes he does. But the stunner, it's an awesome move, and I like the way he does it,

but I just don't don't don't finish it with that finish it with either a splash or or your um power bomb that's what I loved about him because but man he took one on the on the apron on the on the frame of the ring from Sammy Zane it looked like in that one when it looked like he came down on his neck with that that looked pretty hard I again I I every time someone it looks like they come down on their head or their neck. I'm like, oh, man. Because I'm having neck issues right now. And I'm like, ha, I feel it in mind every time with these guys.

So, I mean, we'll get to more of that when we get to the main event. But overall, I thought this was a good match. I mean, it was nothing to write home about. But the end when, which one is this? Jake Paul or Logan Logan when he

jumps in in the ring I was like oh I was like come on I thought he was going to like distract something

and then maybe someone would win that way but and then Kevin Owens just gives him the stunner and did you think he sold it? No

I don't like anything that God does He could have he could have came out here and gave us a bad bunny performance and I still would have hated everything he did He didn't do anything but sit there until the end But I mean minus him the match was cool Yeah All right this one I was happy with the outcome The United States championship match Riddle was

a champ, Matt Riddle, whatever you want to call him, taking on Seamus. I thought this match was good. And I'll give it to Riddle, man, being out there with no shoes and everything and taking the punishment that he got from Seamus. I thought it was cool, man. I loved what they, I love both of them what they do. I mean, I Riddle, is he good on the mic? He's all right. He can use some work.

But, I mean, I love to do. manager. Yeah. I love what they're pushing him. Because he was good. And I loved him in NXT. I think he went a little more harder there. But once you come up to the main show with the more seasoned veterans,

you can't do what you do there in NXT because I noticed that these guys are, hey, we ain't taking that, those hard of a bumps. Yeah, because he tries to incorporate a lot of his MMA background. there and I noticed since he's been on the main roster that's a it's a no-go yeah they're the season veterans they're like hell no this this young cat come in and show us up but i don't know i mean that's what i think so but i thought it was cool this match was good um shamus ended up winning and that that broke kick at the end i thought was pretty sweet and it looked like it connected pretty hard

because Riddle was going to do the bouncing off the ropes and he was in the air and Seamus came back and just kicked him hell hard one two three I mean I love Riddle when he's

when he's flying high and everything but man he those forearms he was getting in the chest when Shamitz got what has you tied up on the outside of the ring it starts bringing the chest.

But yeah, I mean, Shamis did it too, and there was a slip, a slip up because like last night when the rain and the mist and everything was kind of making the ropes a little slippery. Shamis was up,

was he on top or the second row? I think it was... Second rope, I think. Yeah, he was getting ready to give riddle the white noise and slipped. But, I mean, he finished it. I mean, he slipped and fell

to the mat, but he landed. ended on his feet but didn't he didn't drop riddle he he still kind of had a hold of him so he just fucking just did it anyway give him the white noise oh white noise my wife is when she first saw for the first time she was why is he so white i'm like i don't know it's just how he was bored uh i'm glad that mohawks gone because i i did not like that yeah did you like the beads and with the braided beard No

I didn't like any of that That whole hill run I didn't like it at all I know the haircut was for People say it was for that video game And then they were saying it was for The second Turtles movie Which one was he?

Was he Bebop or Rock Steady? Yeah Bebop Yeah I like those movies everyone I don't care Yeah, they were goofy, but I still enjoyed them. They re-rebooting that too.

Again? Yeah. I was really quick. I was all ready to tear that first one apart because I was like, this is not turtles. Why are they so big? And then I went and saw it. And I left the theater like, okay, Michael Bay. I mean, I liked what you did.

He didn't direct that, did he? No, he was a producer. But I'm sure he did the Stevens Spielberg and just, stayed right. You could tell he had his, he had his fingers in there. He had his hands in there. Yeah,

the slow-mo, spin cameras and all that, yeah, okay. It was a second movie that lost me, because that, that was not Casey Jones.

Uh, yeah, um, the 90, 1990, uh, Turtles, the first film.

That was Casey Jones. I thought that was awesome. I thought that was awesome. Anyway, this ain't the turtles hour. I think we're going to have to cover that first one, the very first one and that new one. But anyway, yeah, but yeah, this match was good. I thought they got out there and did it, and Seamus is the new United States champ.

This next one, I was in and out. My grandson was hooting and hollering, so I was kind of paying attention and really kind of not. the Intercontinental Championship match Biggie was a champ And he took on Apollo Cruz The Nigerian I mean in a Nigerian drum fight All right

What was that all about He's Nigerian and he had access to trams I don't know Another thing really quick Apollo Cruz yes man he's in shape And he's buff as hell Where'd this accent come from Okay

I I do, I kind of like it and I kind, I don't. From what I understand, his parents are from Nigeria, but he sounds like a guy doing a Nigerian accent. I don't remember this accent there when he first came on. Yeah, I think the whole storyline is that he was doing the American accent because he couldn't, he was afraid to be who he really is. And the only reason I kind of like it because I thought he was bland

before and at least this was something but like I said he sounds like a guy for a guy that has Nigerian parents from Nigeria he really does sound like a guy doing an accent other than just sounded Nigerian I mean because there's been

other superstars me male and female that had accents and then all of a sudden they disappeared um Lana I loved the Russian accent Coffey has to be the greatest one where he just lost it during the show

and they pointed it out he had that look on his face like oh shit yeah then he was like and Rusef too I mean he you can when he talks normal you can hear a little but not as of course he was he was just hamming it up but it looks like he's there doing him good

at AEW better than what WWE was trying to do to them. But he's got a lot of bad things to say about the company. I was listening to some podcast and I was like, yeah, fuck them and ah, I was all right, cool, man, whatever.

Let's be cool. Your wife still works for him. Yeah, but I think they're going to just use her until they don't need her, until they find someone else. So you're saying we're going to see another nine-week run

of her being Samoan dropped onto a table. Probably. I mean, I love Lana. I mean, she's there other than her look. She's beautiful. She's improved a lot. Yeah, she has. My favorite thing was the one when they just made her stand.

The quarter of the whole time. Or not so that one point, I mean, stand on the ground and stay there. Yeah. I was like, damn. I mean, she was the. sole survivor, but it didn't feel like it. It felt like she's still lost anyways. A long of you're listening, I love you.

Rousseau, you're lucky man. Real quick, what made it worse is she was supposed to have that championship match like the next night or something. And then they were like, no, no, you're not. You're injured. Remember? See how dirty they're doing her? Vince, I know what you're doing.

You're keeping her around because of her. looks but I don't know we'll see what we'll see what what comes for her if she goes AEW cool I'm all for that just keep her on TV but this match um what I saw was cool I mean Biggie and Apollo Cruz they're both big gentlemen and I've said this before big guys only have a handful of moves but I'll give it to Big E man when he always flies out of the ring I always feel like ah Yeah, yeah. Because, I mean, these, these men and women are basically stunt, stunt, stunt performers.

Because that ring, yes, it's got a little give, but it still hurts when you, when you land on it. And if you land on the outside of the ring on just that hard rubber flooring, that can't feel good either. But I'll give it to you, you know who always scares me when they dive out the ring is a size of Oh, yeah. Because, yeah, she looks like she's light and you can catch her, man. Shout out to Bianca Blair. When she caught her and then carried her up the ring steps. Yeah.

Oh, man. Basically pressed her in the air and then walked up the house. Like, damn, yeah, she's winning. I don't want to relive that. Sasha, the boss, I love you. You're still the boss in my eyes. And get back in the Mandalorian. Oh, speaking of a Mandalorian, I brought it up in last night.

That, that figure, that black street figure, I don't know how Theo did it, but he scored me one. So I'm like, fuck yeah. I got my Sasha Banks coming. Did he listen to the episode? I don't know. Or we said it kind of sound like he didn't want you to have one. Yeah, I hope not. You know I love you, brother.

So just take that as we said it. But, but anyway, yeah. So, I mean, this match, what I saw I liked, I just wasn't really paying attention too much of it because my grandson was running around. But what did you think of it? I thought it was a decent match. It kind of added, I think it was more to showcase.

I think it's time for Biggie to kind of move up. I feel like he has a future title reign, or at least a title, a run out of title in his near future. And I think this was a good win for Apollo. And I like they, he has a little henchman that kind of came out. He had like the kind of Nigerian military garb on. And the only, I forget the guy's name, but he was always in the raw undergrounds, like beating the shit out of everybody.

So it was good. He had some help because it kind of adds to his little heel turn. Daba is it Cato or Cato? Yeah, which I'm sure he's not Nigerian. Yeah, I was like, whoa, where do you come from? I mean, I know they come from behind the cameras and we don't see it, but did I want Biggie to Keystay the champ? Yes, but I see that they're pushing Apollo Cruz.

Yeah, I would like to see Biggie for the title. the smackdown title now. I wouldn't mind that. I mean, it'd be good. I mean, they've had almost every belt. Cofie was the one that was champ for a little while, which was good.

He had his WrestleMania moment when he won. The only thing I don't want to see, I don't want to see the new day fight each other. I know throughout history, all these teams that kick ass and then they end up fighting each other. I mean, the one that really broke. my heart was when Matt and Jeff Hardy were going at it.

I was like, no, not the Hardy Boys. But that was me. You know, it's going to happen. Yeah, but I love the new day. I thought it was corny and goofy in the beginning, but once everyone was getting behind it and meeting them, they were all three of them were hella cool. Kofi gave me some bootios.

I was right out of the box he was eating. That was my Comic-Con moment with the WWE stars. And I've seen them at pay-per-views and everything, but when they came out at Comic-Con, I was right there in the front. And they had that room on their feet, dancing and everything. It was awesome.

They hyped that crowd up so quick. And the room wasn't that big during the Mattel and WWE panel. But when those two, came those three came out man everybody was I'm gonna have to re upload that video if you guys haven't seen it but um yeah I see it coming

eventually but I hope if anything I think the one that's going to turn will be biggie I don't see Xavier trying to be out on his own but I don't know we'll see no no Coffey

Hill turn um if it's not biggie yeah, Kofi. I mean, unless they shock us with an Xavier. I'm tired of being the trombone player. Xavier, you got nothing to cry about. I saw that video with Paige.

Yeah, we might not be seeing a whole lot of him. I think he's going to be working with a G4 on their return. Oh, they're coming back. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's going to be smaller than it was before, but it's coming back. is it on TV or is it like a YouTube thing I heard TV but I think it's going to be maybe a combination of TV and internet

All right Well he's got his Up Up Down Down YouTube channel I watch those Yeah All righty um CBS sports They gave uh that match An A I'm gonna have to go back and rewatch it

I wasn't really paying attention All right this next one I was super hyped for it I was happy with the outcome. I saw that coming. I knew it was coming. But I don't know. Do I need to,

maybe I need to rewatch it again. I just didn't. These two women go super hard all the time. They did go hard. I'm not saying they didn't, but I just, I think I wanted a little bit more.

I don't think it worked. I don't think it worked having them in the room together. Yeah, I was kind of Yeah, okay But this is the raw women's championship match The Empress of Tomorrow Oscar Taking on Ria Ripley

Oh fuck, I forgot what they call her Sorry, Ria, I love you though Um Ria ended up winning via pinfall To take the title The Raw Women's Championship Which is cool I know she just recently came up

And they have been pushing her So I was happy with that I'm an Oscar fan and I love Rio Ripley. So yeah, let's see how long a title run. We'll go. But as far as the match went,

CBS Sports, they gave it a B-plus. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I need to watch it again. I was just, uh, I don't know.

I wanted a little more. There was no green mist or anything, this one. So, hmm. Yeah. I, I think,

Oscar needs she needs to take a break And then after that comeback I want that I want that Oscar from NXT when she first came That's who I want Um Eo Shari and What's her name?

Come up What's the other Japanese Uh And a little pirate girl too Um She's gone Yeah I was like

Come back I read it I read it was more so not not being able to see the husband that lived in Japan well it's not like he can jump on a plane and come over here I mean

maybe she just didn't want it that bad but Eosurai's badass I see her coming up eventually but um yeah Oskah just I love her in the ring it is a little hard to understand her when she's on

the mic and her English isn't the greatest. I mean, I'm not saying that in a bad way, but. It's a little hard to understand. Once she starts, like, screaming and yelling. Yeah, that's what I don't. No idea what she's talking about. The times I really love her, when she's really screaming and screaming, then all of a sudden it just turned into Japanese.

So I like that. I don't know what she's saying, but I know it's something from the heart. And she means business. I mean, because she backs up what she says. I didn't really like to build up for this because it was really just Oscar talking a lot of shit. And at that point,

you know she was going to lose. So, yeah, she's had many title runs. So I'm not like, all right, cool. I mean,

I was all right with her losing. Again, I love Ria Ripley. She can get hard to understand, too, I think this was good, though, because she should have had her moment last year. And they gave it to Charlotte who didn't need another WrestleMania moment. And I think this was making up for it.

Yeah, I was excited for that. I'm kind of glad she didn't win because there was no one there. It was the whole whatever, not entertainment. What's the workout place or the development center? Yeah. It was in there. I don't even remember much of that WrestleMania, but I did remember Kevin Owens diving off the sign.

I thought that was sweet. I was glad she won here. I mean, there was a crowd there and everything. So she got to, yeah, she was hoot and hollering and everything. Really quick. I mentioned it last night when Bianca Blair won. It was like, soon as she won, all right, that's it. Good night, everyone.

Other than I understand they were way behind schedule. they showed some clips of that she was in the ring hooting and hollering she was on the the barricade standing there in front of the crowd hooting and hollering holding up the belt and that I mentioned last night they didn't show her at the top of the stage holding up the belt they showed pictures of that and video yeah her boyfriend it came out what's his name from uh the fuck is that name the street prophets He came out and, like, lifted her up. Yeah.

Yeah, they didn't show none of that. I was like weak. I mean, I'm glad that we got to see it. Maybe if they edit something on YouTube, we'll get to see that because I, yeah, she had a moment and she did deserve it. But I just thought, and good night. It was like, peak. Because usually, I mean, I've said this, man.

They always give them whoever wins that main event a lot of time before they go away. but again it was different circumstances. They were way about the half hour behind schedule, so they probably just had to end it. But in the end, with this match, maybe Oscar's going to take a break for a while. She needs to. Ria Ripley's going to take her run.

And you know damn well Charlotte's going to come after her. Okay, I like Charlotte, but man, come on. I just feel like if she's next for her, Ria, she's going to drop the title to her. Of course she is. I'm just tired of these damn backstage politics and them never wanting to put over like the, not saying Charlotte's old, but, you know, Ria is like, she's like the next generation and just let her have her little run, you know, it doesn't have to be a long run.

I don't know what they have planned for her, but, you know, I can honestly, if, if you told me she was going to drop the bell tomorrow at Raw to Charlotte. It wouldn't surprise me. Better not. I'll be hell of mad. I mean, I love you, Charlotte,

but no. Real quick. Go ahead. What's up with your girl? The Bay Area's very own, Bailey. I was going to ask you that. Is she like an angry talk show host now or something?

Did she get hurt? And I didn't know? Well, that's the only reason I think that they're pushing this because she still on her heel run. But I could I was, she must have got hurt. And maybe they're not saying something or I don't know. I mean, I'm not the biggest Bailey fan, but I mean, like, come on. You can give her better than to get fucking slapped by one of the Bella twins. Are they pregnant again?

Yeah, same time. All right, because I saw those little bumps and I wasn't sure. All right, cool. I mean, but that's what they wanted. They basically retired to have kids and good for you. But I don't know. I mean, I just assume Bailey's hurt. Maybe one of you guys listening to know, let us know.

I don't know. I don't know. Because usually WrestleMania, they build her up for something. so I don't know maybe she's just taking a break but still wanted to be a part of the fun so see they they should have made the Oscar ria ripply at triple threat I would I think that would have better been a better match than just them to I have a feeling once um Becky comes back um I see those videos of her working out and everything but come on just

you're a mom and I understand you got a career but stay home and take care of your kid for a little while before you jump back in the ring dad daddy's there he's doing his job yeah i heard ronda's coming back i heard the rumors are starting to grow on that one um all right everyone really quick i'm not the biggest ronda rousey fan yes i liked her in m mma but once she started talking too much shit i can't be beaten i'm the best and then got beat up and then ah ha i'm losing it i hate it and i'm gonna kill myself no I just, no. I mean, as but her run during WWE, I liked it. I was kind of like, all right, she, she was rough around the edges and she was hurting people. But let's, let's bring her back and let's go full heel. Yeah.

When she said, damn the man and screw the woo, let's, let's just, let's take that and just go all out with it. Yeah, I mean, put on that leather jacket and, keep the dark eyeliner off your face. I didn't like that. Yeah, that shit's stupid. But I thought she did.

I mean, the TLC match when she was taking on Naya Jax. I mean, I thought she did. She was doing a good job, man. She was out there doing it. Jumping off the top rope and Nia Jacks catching her. Like caught her and then just fell

backwards. So I was like, all right, cool. But I didn't mind it. I know a lot of people didn't like her whole run. I didn't mind it. I thought she did what she did. Did she go a little overboard at times? Yes, she did.

But she was still working. But she proved it. She didn't just do the Brock Lesnar and just stay and just do pay-per-views. She did the raws. She did the house shows. Maybe not all of them, but she did do them. So, I mean, I can give her that much respect that what she did for the company. And if she comes back, cool, I'll be excited.

Yeah, I'm surprised that guy didn't show up and take someone's title. Yeah, I was waiting for something like during that last match. I was waiting for that tent, dun, tan, I ought to win. I would just walk out of the ring and hand of the title and go to the back. Oh, man, Brock Lesnar. I wouldn't talk shit. I talk to shit now, but not in front of him and knock me out. Yeah, I heard he's not very approachable.

real life a lot of fans have said i believe it um i met his brother and his brother looks just like him and he got that same attitude as well hey and kept going so but um all right yeah but ria riftly she's the champ now and i'm happy just i don't want charlotte coming out tomorrow night and uh taking it from her i think i think we talked it in existence now yeah i do have that wasn't there this year so she's had her WrestleMania moments numerous ones just yeah Charlotte will show up

tomorrow she'll take Bobby Lashley's title too oh my well but all right on to the main event the Universal Championship match Triple threat Roman Raines is the champ and taking on the rated

our stupid superstar stuper star stupid rated our superstar edge and uh taking on Daniel O'Brien. All right. I was excited for this. This match.

Awesome to see Edge back. I think he got robbed last year, last WrestleMania, but it wasn't his fault. It was just the world fell apart, and we got what we got. Didn't he get hurt in that match? Yeah, he did. And it was a

dumb match. I did not like that at all. The whole Randy Orton I don't know what it was. Street fight, balls count anywhere, fucking trailer match. I don't know what it was,

but I was like, all right, he did win the Royal Rumble. I know a lot of people were mad. I wasn't. I was excited. I thought that ending for that Royal Rumble was amazing. I watched it over and over.

But Daniel, Brian, I had a feeling he was going to win. for some reason. I just, I thought he was going to. I want Edge to win. And neither of them did.

So, but, Roman, I'm still down for Roman Rains. I sit at the, he is the head of the table, and I'm sitting right there with him. But,

um, man, I would have been excited and more happy of Edge 1, and I would have been happy if Daniel Bryan won. But, WrestleMania. big buildup and not dropping the belt

that was kind of like I kind of dug it you know I kind of felt like he was dominant in this match and it just adds to his whole tribal chief thing he's got gone I will say my prediction didn't happen we didn't see who sits at his table come out I really wish we we could have

but I think we're going to get an awesome feud out of Daniel Brian and Edge out of this. I think they're going to have at least one more match, just the two of them. All right. I mentioned earlier about hurt necks. Of course, we all know Edge was forced in retirement due to his neck injury. And years later, Daniel Bryant, pretty much the same injury. And Daniel Brian came back first, and then Edge came back year, was it?

Yeah, last year, 2020, when Edge came back. all right every time these guys get many of those two with the bumps getting slam seeing their hit

their next whip at one point Edge was on the outside of the ring and Roman Rains had him like in a headlock and was going to bring him back

I was just thinking ow come on I mean it only takes the wrong bump to reactivate that that injury

and I don't want them to something happen and then they're paralyzed. I mean, I don't want that. Those two, Daniel Bryan Edge, or anyone with a neck injury, and especially Lita. Lita,

I love you to death. Stay out of the ring. Because every time you do that. No more moon salts. Yeah, when I see that or when she dives out of the rig, I'm like, ah! And I told her, too, what I met her.

I didn't say stay out of the ring. I said, I cringe every time. She goes, I'm all right. I'm all right. I'm okay. Good, but I love you too much. Just take it easy. Stay at old or stay on the mic and all that.

But I mean, I thought these guys went really hard. And what was the chair move called? Concerto. Of course, they're not actually hitting them on the head. You can clearly see the top of the chair hit the ring. But again, it could take one little slip. pink and knock you out. And I don't care who it is.

I know you guys are some people say, ah, wrestling's fake, but you take a shot from a chair. And it looks like they take them maybe not full force, but hard enough to hear that slap when you get hit in the back with a chair. I got hit in the chair with a chair one time when we were messing around. And that shit hurt.

But I'll give it to these guys. And I had a jacket on. And that's still hurt. I couldn't imagine to take it just right to this flesh. I mean, I'd still be laying there. But I thought these guys went hard when Roman Range power bombed with Daniel Bryan to the announced table. And right there, when he hit, you can see his neck whip on the edge of the table.

And then he just crashed and he came down not hard on his neck, but kind of just landed on it. I was like, huh, come on. And then when he, Roman was standing there on top of the ring stairs

and then Edge came out of nowhere. That I love those shots. When it's, of course we knew it was coming, but when you don't see that whoever the other wrestler is coming, running off screen and then just dosh getting hit and disappearing.

It looks like Edge got hurt doing that too, because he hit him hell of hard. So I love that. And now it was going to be. like Battle of the Spears Edge and Roman reigns So But they were they were doing it man

The Superman punches were there The spears and the power bombs and Daniel Brian on the top rope and everything It was all there and I thought it was cool But it just didn't end the way I wanted it Did it seem like this one was pretty quick? Yeah I think they

I don't want to say the night seemed like it ran a little long, but I think when they got to the last couple matches, I felt like they were quick. Yeah, I was kind of like, okay. The end, Roman Ray has defeated the edge

and Daniel Bryan via pinfall. Um, okay, I was all right with that, but I kind of wanted a little more exciting ending, but, Again, for what they did when they were all in the ring, I thought it was good.

I enjoyed it. I wish they would have went a little longer. I love it when they go on the outside of the ring because that's when you know everything is going to start falling apart and chairs and all that come out. So I did dig all that. But overall, I mean, I just, I wasn't happy with the outcome. I mean, again, I wanted Edge mainly to win. or if Daniel Brian won, I would have been happy with it.

But Roman not dropping the belt to one of them. I was kind of like the buildup they do. It wasn't just this match. We said it about some of the previous ones. The buildup was just, what are we doing? What's the next pay-per-view? I know they said it.

I don't remember. It said backlash, but I'm looking at the logo right here. It's got the WrestleMania logo on top of it. So kind of looks like it's called WrestleMania Backflash. Okay. I don't know what they're doing.

I just, I think I can come up with more new pay-per-views like they usually do. But I don't know. Well, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens tomorrow night on Raw. Or later tonight.

It's midnight now. Charlotte wins all the titles. Yeah. Overall, these two nights, what was your favorite match? Out of both nights together, I want to say, if not the bad bunny match, I definitely have to go with Bianca and Sasha. I felt like they came out there and they put on a show, which, you know, nowadays the women do come out and steal the show. Yeah, I both. of those matches, I agree. If I got to pick one, I got to go to

the Bad Bunny, Damian Priest, Ms. and dumbass Morrison. Johnny drip, drip. I think, I mean, again, everyone, especially off air, off mic, I was

talking shit about Bad Bunny. Shout out to my homie, Chris. He was like, Bad Bunny's going to win. Bad Bunny's going to win. And he don't even watch wrestling. He kept saying that, like all week. And I watched that magic yet, and God dang, did that guy pull it out good. I know a lot of people, some of you might not think so. But for me, not knowing, I knew he was some kind of music performer.

That was all I knew. But he went out there and did it, man. He impressed me. It impressed me to go buy his albums? No, but I thought he did a good job. And yeah, Sasha Banks and Bianca Blair, I mean, that one was just amazing. She definitely deserves that title because she put in the work, won the World Rumble, and just went out there and did it. So I thought my hat's off to her.

And my hat's off to everyone. I mean, all of them, all the performers, everyone that performed these last two. these last two nights or all you wrestlers period be it be it professional indie uh even you backyard guys and um what was that uh jccw juggalo's yeah they're all all of you guys that are out there do it shout out to superhuman if you guys watch his crazy videos um i i couldn't do it even if i was young i still wouldn't i still wouldn't i still would do it as a young little kid watching the wrestling. I love it,

but I don't think I can get in the ring and do it. I don't know if I have the balls to throw myself onto the mat and to take these hard bumps that they do. And all you fucks that think wrestling is fake, get in

the ring and let's see what you can do because I won't do it. My hat's off to all these men and women that are out there doing it. be any any part of the world be here in America and over and all these wrestling is all over the place all over the world and I my hats off to all of them

that do it so but yeah WrestleMania 37 next year WrestleMania 38 will be in Dallas Texas at the Cowboy Stadium and I'll be there I'm excited I'm definitely again I said the last night I'm buying a ticket because for a seat, I am not standing those four hours again because I was hurting.

And I'm glad I got glasses now because it was a little blurry at times watching it. What saved me was that big-ass giant jumbo tron that's hanging from the ceiling. And even if you're not a cowboy fan, if you got any opportunity to go into that stadium, I mean, just even if to go in there and just look around. it's amazing in there i'm not a cowboys fan but it's it's awesome in there and to have a wrestlemania another thing really quick what i love when they had it there um other than bring a sweatshirt or longsleeve shirt because it gets cold in there and i'm i'm gonna be prepared next year um he is uh like tonight and last night the the stage with the with the giant pillars

none of that is in there So every seat if you're on the floor Those pillars aren't in your way Because I know there is those times where people can't see When you're sitting in those seats Because those big giant pillars in the way Just go online and look up WrestleMania pillars

And you'll see bad Bad seats I mean they sell those seats regardless But You're going to You're going to WrestleMania 39 When's that one? Is that Vegas or

L.A. L.A. Englewood Is that the Rams Stadium? Sophie Stadium? So far. I don't know.
