00:00:00Hey, everybody. Welcome. This is episode 41 of Tough Bumps, but this is a special.
00:00:08Is it really a numbered episode?
00:00:10I think it should be, but that's my OCD.
00:00:14I don't know. I think it's a standalone project.
00:00:21No, we probably should have talked about that ahead of time.
00:00:24No, it's such a minute detail.
00:00:27Yeah. This is the first time ever we're doing this.
00:00:33Right. Yeah, we're going live. We're right after night one of WrestleMania.
00:00:37Yes.
00:00:38But it is labeled episode 41 on the live stream.
00:00:42So tomorrow will be 41.
00:00:46I guess. I'd rather it just be episode 42 tomorrow.
00:00:52Oh, hey.
00:00:53But again, that's my OCD.
00:00:54You're moving up the charts.
00:00:55It's, well, yeah, yeah.
00:00:58But so here we are.
00:01:00We're waiting for Austin.
00:01:01Hicks is not with us yet, but Eric Pilcher and I are both here.
00:01:04And so full disclosure for our audience right up front.
00:01:08So Jenny and I are behind because of my schedule.
00:01:12It's impossible for us to, and this happens with every pay-per-view, not just WrestleMania.
00:01:17We're always behind.
00:01:19You know, I'm on the air Friday nights at WMNH.
00:01:23And then so we don't watch SmackDown until Saturday.
00:01:26And then there's just a lot going on.
00:01:28Saturdays are very busy for us.
00:01:29So I'm just letting the audience know up front.
00:01:31I have not seen the entire.
00:01:34Apparently, we have seen most of the matches where Jenny and I left off.
00:01:38We are paused currently during the Stephanie Vacker versus Liv Morgan match.
00:01:44So, but we've seen everything else.
00:01:46And, but I don't mind spoilers.
00:01:49So obviously I will find out from our friend Eric what happened during the main event tonight,
00:01:56which I am very curious about.
00:01:57So I probably, even if I don't get to actually see that match until tomorrow morning, honestly,
00:02:04I probably don't have the discipline to avoid looking online and seeing what happened anyway.
00:02:11So even if we weren't doing this, you know, it would, it would end up getting spoiled for me, I'm
00:02:15sure.
00:02:16So, so I'm not, I'm not concerned about that.
00:02:19But what do you think of the show so far, Eric?
00:02:21WrestleMania night one.
00:02:25Mixed.
00:02:26Really?
00:02:26I, it's hard for me right after to give a rating because I don't have that time to reflect upon
00:02:37it.
00:02:37Yeah.
00:02:38Um, I mean, there are some things that happened that I, you know, I just look at it and I
00:02:50say,
00:02:51well, this is why they're in the shape they're in.
00:02:55Um, the, this is why, and there were things tonight that really hit that point home in my opinion.
00:03:05So I do want to hear more, but before, but before, before you tell us what you didn't like, I
00:03:10just, from, for me personally, um, and not to speak for Jenny, although I think she's enjoying the show for
00:03:16me personally, I've enjoyed the show so far.
00:03:19Um, uh, one thing I really appreciated, I was not looking forward to the Jacob Fatu versus Drew McIntyre match
00:03:26because, you know, unsanctioned and, you know, people just hitting each other with weapons and everything.
00:03:31That's never been my thing.
00:03:33Right.
00:03:34I find it really tedious.
00:03:35I'd rather see a, just give me a wrestling match.
00:03:37Um, but it was mercifully short and, um, and you know, pretty solid, I thought for what we saw.
00:03:46So I liked it.
00:03:47I, I was glad it was short and I liked it.
00:03:51A couple of the other matches were shorter than I expected to.
00:03:54Uh, I actually did like the opener, uh, the vision, uh, versus the Usos and LA night, the vision of
00:04:00course, with I show speed.
00:04:01And I, I liked what they did with that at the end.
00:04:04I thought, I thought it was cool.
00:04:05I thought it was a fun opener.
00:04:06I can, you, you didn't like it, did you?
00:04:09No.
00:04:10Like one, that's your opener.
00:04:13That's what's supposed to jump the crowd into this.
00:04:16Um, you did this whole work angle.
00:04:20I'm going to guess what camera on and, uh, Jey Uso got mad at him and he said he was
00:04:26going to be at WrestleMania tonight.
00:04:29And you did nothing with that.
00:04:31Yeah.
00:04:33I don't know why they did all that.
00:04:34Um, and then you did a look like just a rushed finish, which to me, that's the theme of the
00:04:43night.
00:04:44Um, and I just, I was watching it and I'm like, if I were a casual watching on ESPN, I,
00:04:57I would have turned it off after that.
00:05:00Yeah.
00:05:00That, that, that, that, that, that match.
00:05:05I get why they showed it on ESPN.
00:05:09I understand the logic.
00:05:11Cause you're thinking I show speed and Logan Paul going to get eyes on your product, but it wasn't, it
00:05:20was clunky.
00:05:21Um, I don't think there was a lot, it didn't showcase the guys that should have showcased.
00:05:32Hmm.
00:05:33I just was not a fan of it.
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38I liked it.
00:05:39I liked it.
00:05:40I liked it well enough.
00:05:40I mean, I wasn't crazy about it, but I thought it was fun.
00:05:42I thought it was a fun way to open the show.
00:05:44Um, yeah.
00:05:47In ad placement.
00:05:48I hate ad placement.
00:05:49Why, why, why the hell is LA night driving a Dodge Ram?
00:05:53Ah, that didn't bother me at all.
00:05:57Stupid.
00:05:58Didn't bother me at all.
00:05:59But I know a lot of people don't like that stuff.
00:06:00I'm personally not bothered by it.
00:06:02I don't have an issue with that placement.
00:06:04If it makes sense.
00:06:05Yeah.
00:06:08Um, well, so what was next?
00:06:10So that was our first match.
00:06:11And then what was the next one?
00:06:13I forget.
00:06:14The match after that was.
00:06:18Saturday has become a blur for me.
00:06:22Um, the match after that was drew McIntyre and.
00:06:27Jacob Fatu.
00:06:28Jacob Fatu.
00:06:30And like I said, I liked, uh, I liked it better.
00:06:33I liked it more than I thought.
00:06:34I thought they didn't drag it out.
00:06:37Thank God.
00:06:37Cause that's what I really hate too.
00:06:39Not only am I not a fan of that style of match generally, but part of what I hate about
00:06:43it is they tend to go on forever.
00:06:46Like, oh, they got to go into the crowd and they got to go all over the freaking arena.
00:06:50Oh, I hate that shit.
00:06:52But they didn't do that here.
00:06:53They kept it relatively short.
00:06:56Thank God.
00:06:57What saved them from doing that, Matt, honestly, was it was on ESPN too.
00:07:03Yeah.
00:07:03They had to be off by six.
00:07:05Good point.
00:07:06Yeah.
00:07:07Yeah.
00:07:07So there was a hard out and.
00:07:10That's true.
00:07:10I don't mind a match like that taking longer.
00:07:16I thought if you were going to open the show, open with that.
00:07:20Really?
00:07:21And then you could do your six man tag and whatever time was left over from those guys telling their
00:07:31story, you could roll with.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:36But that, that's, that was my issue with it was like, I think they, I, I liked it.
00:07:47I think it was a great way to recover from the first match.
00:07:52Um, I think Jacob and drew did a great job of telling a story.
00:07:59I, I will admit it just, it did seem rushed to me.
00:08:04Like they didn't put, there wasn't, they wanted to put more time into it, but couldn't, but that
00:08:14finish with the toolbox upside Drew's head, he goes on the table, then the moon, the BME
00:08:20best moon salt ever.
00:08:22Mm-hmm done.
00:08:24I thought that was great.
00:08:26Yeah.
00:08:27Yeah.
00:08:27Uh, by the way too, I really liked what they did on Friday night on SmackDown with the, uh,
00:08:32Jacob Fatu's promo leading into that with him on top of the police car.
00:08:36I thought that was really well done.
00:08:37I really liked that a lot.
00:08:38I think if, if you're going to look at someone that has grown very well on the mic, it's Jacob
00:08:47Fatu.
00:08:48Oh yeah.
00:08:49Absolutely.
00:08:49Jacob has really stepped his game up on the mic.
00:08:53And I think, you know, sooner rather than later, we need to see him in the main event
00:08:59picture.
00:09:01Oh, it's coming.
00:09:02He'll, he'll get there.
00:09:03There's no rush.
00:09:04I mean, he's not super young.
00:09:05He's not still in his twenties, but he's not, you know, he's not, uh, LA night's age either.
00:09:10So no, he'll, he'll get there.
00:09:12He's they're taking their time with him, but I think it's, I think it's the right pace and
00:09:16he will be, I mean, he's, I have no doubt he's a future wrestler.
00:09:19Mania made a venter.
00:09:20I have no doubt about that, but yeah, I thought the promo was great.
00:09:24He understands his character.
00:09:25He's very into his character.
00:09:27And I, uh, and like I said, for, uh, for a style of match, I don't like, I, I was
00:09:33fine
00:09:33with, uh, tonight's, uh, tonight's match.
00:09:36Um, yeah, I thought it, I, I really liked it.
00:09:39I thought they did a good job.
00:09:41Okay.
00:09:42Okay.
00:09:43And then, uh, what was next?
00:09:46I can't believe I'm having so much trouble even, uh, remembering, uh, what it was tonight,
00:09:51but cause there was also a point where I, where we had to deposit and I had to go get
00:09:55some caffeine, you don't have soda on hand.
00:10:00I do, but sometimes I need, I need to go get my caffeine shot.
00:10:05I need my special, my special drink, which I'm already almost out of.
00:10:09Um, and then, uh, next was the tag team championship fatal four-way match, uh, it's supposed to
00:10:17be the Bellas versus irresistible force, which was, um, Nia Jax and, uh, Lash Legend versus
00:10:28Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss and versus Bailey and Lear and Lyra Valkyria.
00:10:35Yes.
00:10:36Um, that, uh, so.
00:10:39Of course, the big surprise, and by the way, Charles, uh, Charles Richardson, of course,
00:10:44shout out to Charles.
00:10:44He was on my show this morning, uh, talking some WrestleMania and he said that, and I was
00:10:50not aware of this.
00:10:51This has gotten completely by me.
00:10:52I mean, I knew that, um, Nikki was dealing, Nikki Bella was dealing with an injury.
00:10:57I did not know that it was pretty much a done deal that it was going to be page replacing
00:11:02her.
00:11:03Right.
00:11:03And sure enough, it was page who got a mat, who got a massive pop, massive pop yesterday.
00:11:09When it was announced, she had signed a two year deal.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:13Uh, with that, see that, that, that had got, that had gotten completely past me.
00:11:18I didn't even realize that.
00:11:19Uh, and so when it was also talked, kicked around throughout the week that Nikki Bella probably
00:11:25wouldn't be able to go, uh, that, that was kind of like, okay, it's going to be page.
00:11:32And it was, and, uh, one of crazy Joe's nut huggers has joined us.
00:11:39Oh, is this, uh, is this the Mr.
00:11:42Mr.
00:11:43D Mr.
00:11:44Douche.
00:11:45I assume the D stands for is Mr.
00:11:48Douche.
00:11:48Oh, I don't know.
00:11:49I don't know.
00:11:50Mr.
00:11:50Douche.
00:11:50You know, you know, I'm glad Mr.
00:11:54Douchebag is in here because he threatened me.
00:11:58He said, if I ever showed up to the quad cities, it was on site.
00:12:05Uh, Mr.
00:12:06Douchebag, I have been in the quad cities many a times since you've done that.
00:12:11And I am still standing.
00:12:13So good.
00:12:14Try a for effort.
00:12:16You're a moron.
00:12:17The guy you start, yeah, the guy you support is a dipshit, a racist, bigoted moron back to
00:12:25our show.
00:12:26Beyond that.
00:12:27I assume you have no strong feelings on the matter.
00:12:28I mean, look, look, the moment you threatened me, all bets are off.
00:12:35Like the gloves are off, you know?
00:12:37So I, I, I would like to credit Mr.
00:12:41D for showing up here and being, I, I didn't think he was much of a man.
00:12:47To begin with.
00:12:48Sure.
00:12:49But, you know, he might have a little modicum of manhood that hasn't went down crazy Joe's
00:12:55throat.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58Well, fair enough.
00:12:59East St.
00:13:00Louis.
00:13:01I, I'll go there too.
00:13:02And I'll come back.
00:13:03Wow.
00:13:04All right.
00:13:05I, I don't, you do not scare me, Mr.
00:13:07D.
00:13:08All right.
00:13:09I mean, like, I'm pretty sure a thesaurus, a dictionary or non right wing news scares
00:13:18you.
00:13:20Um, it takes more than a city to scare me, buddy.
00:13:24Well, I like that.
00:13:25It takes more than a city.
00:13:26It does.
00:13:27Like a song.
00:13:29I, I've rolled through the Cabrini green projects in Chicago, Illinois.
00:13:34Caprini green.
00:13:35I have two actually.
00:13:36Yeah.
00:13:37I, it doesn't bother me.
00:13:40No, no.
00:13:41So anyway, I look one.
00:13:45I hate tag matches that are fatal four ways because you have too many, you have, you
00:13:54have, basically you have eight people all trying to get their own spots in and you got
00:14:02to do it in a way that it not only makes sense, but you get to a logical conclusion.
00:14:09I'm always, I'm always impressed though.
00:14:12To me, it's such an ambitious thing to try to do that.
00:14:15I'm, I'm, I'm just kind of in awe, just watching something like that.
00:14:19It almost doesn't look good though.
00:14:21Most of the time.
00:14:23Some of the time.
00:14:23I think it depends.
00:14:24I, I, uh, I thought tonight's a match was decent, but again, you know, the, but the crowd
00:14:30was into it cause they were in the page and that helps.
00:14:32Yeah.
00:14:33I think if you're going to do it, you do it as an elimination.
00:14:39Do it as a fatal four way elimination tornado tag.
00:14:44You don't have to have a tag.
00:14:46If someone rolls out to the ground, anyone can come in.
00:14:50Yeah.
00:14:53Um, I don't know.
00:14:55I did not like the one thing I liked page.
00:14:59I thought she looked good in this match.
00:15:01Yeah.
00:15:02Oh yeah.
00:15:02Um, I did not, I did not like, um, the fact of the, I did not like that.
00:15:13We saw so very little of Lyra and Bailey.
00:15:17Yeah, that's true.
00:15:19In that match.
00:15:20I think after last year, writing Bailey out of her WrestleMania spot, it was owed to her
00:15:27to be a part of this year's mania a little bit more than what she was.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:35But I mean, the match was really about page in the end.
00:15:38And of course, page scoring the pin and now page and, uh, Nikki Bella being the, uh, the
00:15:43new tag team champion or re re Bella.
00:15:46I'm sorry.
00:15:46I do that all the time.
00:15:48Um, and also I liked how they planted the seeds for, uh, the disillusion of Alexa bliss and
00:15:57Charlotte.
00:15:57But yeah, that was really good.
00:16:01And I don't know if anyone, anyone watching noticed or you noticed Alexa's outfit had
00:16:08a tribute to Bray Wyatt on it.
00:16:11Yeah.
00:16:11Well, she's back to carrying the doll, which Jenny pointed out because, because for, for
00:16:16a while she wasn't even carrying the doll on the back of her jacket had the, uh, Bray
00:16:22Wyatt sketch.
00:16:24Yeah, that's true.
00:16:25Um, and the moth wings she wore.
00:16:28Yeah.
00:16:29So I, I thought that was cool.
00:16:32And I think it's time that they dissolve this partnership between Charlotte and Alexa, because
00:16:40I think it's kind of run out of steam.
00:16:43Yeah, we'll see.
00:16:44We'll see where they go with it, where they go with it next.
00:16:46But I think, I do think that's what they're building to.
00:16:49They're going to split up.
00:16:50Um, but, uh, but yeah, page was super over like that, that crowd, that crowd.
00:16:55And they knew, I mean, you know, that's like the great thing about it is, you know, is
00:17:04when the crowd knows something's going to happen, you can still generate that pop momentum that
00:17:12the company needs to ride moving forward.
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:15Oh, absolutely.
00:17:17Absolutely.
00:17:17And I thought, and again, I didn't think the match was too terribly long, which is good.
00:17:21Um, I liked the pacing of it.
00:17:24Uh, it sounds like I liked the match itself more than you did.
00:17:27Um, but I, but I, I liked it.
00:17:29Uh,
00:17:30I just, I don't like the type of match.
00:17:35Yeah, no, I get that.
00:17:37I get that.
00:17:38I just, it's too much.
00:17:39And you're trying to fit too much in there.
00:17:41Yeah, no, I, I understand that what you're saying.
00:17:45Um, and then what was next after that?
00:17:48Uh, Becky Lynch versus AJ Lee.
00:17:53Um, another, another match that they, they didn't drag this out very long.
00:17:58No, and this is one I would have loved to see drug out.
00:18:03This is one you could have had 20, 25 minutes go to.
00:18:07Sure.
00:18:08Sure.
00:18:08Very good.
00:18:09Very good.
00:18:10Very solid.
00:18:11Um, I was not surprised.
00:18:13I expected a good match.
00:18:14There is one thing and I, I messaged Austin this.
00:18:18Yeah.
00:18:18When it happened.
00:18:22Um, I scared to get on Metrolinx.
00:18:28Not enough gringos for you.
00:18:30We actually have a rush, have had a restaurant here in Cedar Rapids called gringos.
00:18:34It was a Mexican restaurant.
00:18:36It was quite good.
00:18:37Um, so I, whenever you have a band perform a live entrance, you should not be able to
00:18:50hear a rat piss on cotton.
00:18:52Um, and that was because that kills the crowd for the match.
00:19:01If you have a band there and no one knows who they are, you just denounce them and they're
00:19:06like, who the hell is this?
00:19:09Oh, see, I liked it.
00:19:11I liked that the band was playing her song.
00:19:13Um, but no, who all there knew who the band, the wonder years was.
00:19:21You don't think some people knew the wonder years.
00:19:24You don't think, you don't think people know.
00:19:26I think some do.
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28Not enough to warrant them performing live.
00:19:31Oh, I, I liked it.
00:19:32I thought it was cool.
00:19:33And part of what I liked about it was very often in these situations when they have a
00:19:38band performing live, the sound isn't that good, but, but they managed to, they managed
00:19:44to nail it.
00:19:44I thought the band sounded really good.
00:19:47Um, they've come a long way from when they had motorhead, you know, performing while triple
00:19:54H came to the ring and it like, and it sounded, it sounded strange because it wasn't, you know,
00:19:59they just didn't, they just didn't know what they were doing necessarily.
00:20:03Um, in terms of getting the sound right.
00:20:05Uh, but I, I thought the band sounded really good and I thought it was cool.
00:20:09I'm not bashing how they sounded.
00:20:12I'm not, I know that it's just the crowd was flat for it.
00:20:16And I mean, if you're going to have a live band there, I want to pop like when motionless
00:20:23and white played Rhea Ripley to the ring.
00:20:27Yeah.
00:20:27But I don't think more people know motion, uh, motionless and white than know the wonder
00:20:32years.
00:20:33Do you, I mean, or I think motionless and white is probably more popular right now than.
00:20:39Um, maybe, maybe, I don't know.
00:20:42I, I mean, neither of them are super mainstream.
00:20:45Um, I mean, motionless and white had an arena tour.
00:20:51Yeah.
00:20:52I mean, I, I last I heard the wonder years was playing like small, smaller arenas, like
00:21:00rec centers and stuff.
00:21:02I don't know.
00:21:03So I don't know.
00:21:04I liked it.
00:21:05I, I liked it.
00:21:06I just, I, the crowd reaction kind of soured me on it.
00:21:11Well, I think it's hard though, too, to, I mean, you can't really tell that, that well,
00:21:18how the crowds, I mean, it's not like, uh, because again, they have to be careful about
00:21:22how they mix the sound when there's a live band playing.
00:21:24I get that.
00:21:26That makes sense.
00:21:27Yeah.
00:21:28Um, but, uh, but yeah, I thought the match was solid and it was like, I expected it to
00:21:33be.
00:21:33I loved AJ's entrance.
00:21:36Oh, that was very cool.
00:21:38AJ's entrance.
00:21:38Yes.
00:21:39That was very cool.
00:21:40Little girls.
00:21:41Everyone's like, oh, it's cause she wants to be a role model.
00:21:44And I'm like, you know, you could play this two ways here.
00:21:49You could play this as AJ wants to be a role model to all these little girls that want to
00:21:54be a wrestler, or you could go ahead and play it with.
00:22:04If you could go ahead and play it as, oh, she's playing mind games with Becky, these little
00:22:11girls, the same little girls that Becky has that AJ is that AJ is there is her favorite
00:22:23wrestler.
00:22:23Right.
00:22:24Right.
00:22:25So I thought that was really cool.
00:22:27Um, I, I liked the, I liked the, I liked the match.
00:22:32I, up until at that point, I, I thought the show was really starting to turn.
00:22:39Starting to turn in what way?
00:22:40I like building up to that match.
00:22:43I thought this has been kind of meh.
00:22:46Oh, okay.
00:22:48Uh, like there hasn't been that WrestleMania moment.
00:22:52You know what I'm saying?
00:22:53That moment that steals the show early on.
00:22:57Um, the matches were just pretty for formulaic, if you will.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:03And I, I really thought that it, man, Becky's such a good heel.
00:23:09She is gracious.
00:23:11Absolutely.
00:23:11You able to chain pulling the hair into leaning into that turnbuckle, taking the pad off and
00:23:19Oh, just brilliant job by Becky.
00:23:23Oh yeah.
00:23:24Camera shot at the end, seeing how devastated AJ Lee looked.
00:23:29Mm-hmm.
00:23:30Yep.
00:23:31Absolutely.
00:23:32That was.
00:23:33Very well done.
00:23:35Yep.
00:23:36That was very well done.
00:23:37And the crowd was Thursday, 8 PM power hour, WMNH 95.3.
00:23:49I don't think so.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51I don't think we're carrying that show.
00:23:52I, I don't think, uh, WMNH is 95.3.
00:23:59And I don't think that air a horrible show called the power hour.
00:24:03Yeah.
00:24:03Power hour must be what Joe has to do to Scotty to get on the air in Perth.
00:24:09Oh, probably.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:10You know, the power hour, you know, I don't know.
00:24:15I heard a rumor that Joe drags his teeth.
00:24:16I don't know if that's true.
00:24:18Oh, I, I, well, that's why he has the bad teeth, Matt.
00:24:22You've got to, you've got to put two and two together here.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25Yeah.
00:24:25That's true.
00:24:26That's true.
00:24:27That's why one of them's knocked out in the front.
00:24:29I think when he was, when he was on the CB radio, a trucker got ahold of him, glided a
00:24:35tooth and pop out.
00:24:37It went.
00:24:37It can happen.
00:24:38It can happen.
00:24:39The road is lonely.
00:24:43So then, so after that, so what was next after Becky Lynch versus AJ Lee?
00:24:48What do you think of that match?
00:24:50Oh, I liked it very much.
00:24:52Yeah.
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:53I thought it was a good match.
00:24:55I think the, the best thing a match can do is when the ending is expected, you still deliver
00:25:04and everyone assumed that Becky was going to win this.
00:25:08I didn't assume that really.
00:25:11Yeah.
00:25:11I mean, I, I, I thought it was likely, but I didn't assume it.
00:25:15Oh, I did.
00:25:16Oh, I, I, I was like, okay.
00:25:20Cause I always thought I thought the way they were going to do it is have Becky win by shenanigans
00:25:28at Elimination Chamber and then have AJ have a WrestleMania moment.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:34And win the title at Mania.
00:25:37Yeah.
00:25:37Um, they reversed it, which is fine.
00:25:40And then no, no consequence.
00:25:42Both were great matches and told great stories.
00:25:45Um, so once AJ won Elimination Chamber in my head, I was okay, now we're going to have,
00:25:55now Becky's got to win at Mania.
00:25:58Um, because you know, the intercontinental title, Becky has completely legitimized this championship.
00:26:06Yeah.
00:26:07And that's what matters.
00:26:09So you want it on that workhorse in AJ has earned this right.
00:26:15She isn't going to be on raw every week.
00:26:17Like Becky can't or will.
00:26:20Right.
00:26:21So true.
00:26:22So it made sense.
00:26:24It did.
00:26:25It did.
00:26:26Uh, what was after that?
00:26:28Was it a Gunther versus Seth Rollins?
00:26:32This was my match of the night.
00:26:34Yeah, this was very good.
00:26:36I loved this match.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:39I thought, I thought, you know, they, everything they did, everything they did was just brilliant.
00:26:50Mm-hmm.
00:26:52And.
00:26:54Yep.
00:26:55It was, um, very good.
00:26:58And they did get, I think that that was the first, this is awesome chant of the night.
00:27:02Wasn't it during that match?
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:05I, I thought everything they did.
00:27:07I loved having the thing I really liked.
00:27:11And it's a little thing having Seth force his way out of the sleeper hole.
00:27:16Mm-hmm.
00:27:18I thought that was utterly brilliant.
00:27:23Yeah.
00:27:23Um, having Seth force his way out of the sleeper.
00:27:27I have never seen anyone force their way out of Gunther's sleeper.
00:27:31Right.
00:27:32Yeah.
00:27:33Everyone I have seen grabs the ropes or yeah.
00:27:40Mm-hmm.
00:27:40But Seth forced his way out.
00:27:43And then, uh, we have the return of Braun Breaker.
00:27:47Yep.
00:27:48Yep.
00:27:48And, uh, I, I don't know.
00:27:51I would have liked that after the match.
00:27:54Maybe.
00:27:55But I, I understand why they did it, how they did it.
00:27:59Because Seth looks strong.
00:28:02Gunther is continuing to build this career killer gimmick.
00:28:06Mm-hmm.
00:28:07And now Braun Breaker is back to be this pest for Seth Rollins.
00:28:13Yep.
00:28:13Will probably destroy any chance at, you know, moving up the chain Seth could get.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:20No, I thought it was good.
00:28:21I liked the run in from Breaker.
00:28:23I liked that spear that he hit.
00:28:24It looked great.
00:28:25I liked the, the visual of the second spear after the match when he's going up the ramp.
00:28:31Austin brought up a very good point on that spear.
00:28:33Seth made what we call a business decision on that one.
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:39I noticed it too.
00:28:41You kind of got to see it, it, it, it almost looked more and, and they let it through in
00:28:47the sense, in terms of the camera angle they used, it kind of exposed to the move a little
00:28:52bit because yeah, the way, the way you, you, you see it, it almost looks more like he's
00:28:57doing a clothesline to his abdomen than an actual spear.
00:29:01And it's like, oh, okay.
00:29:02So that's how he does it, uh, without, uh, accidentally murdering his opponent.
00:29:08And, um, Brian was gassed about 70% of the way down that ramp.
00:29:14You think so?
00:29:15I, he, he, I mean, adrenaline started wearing off.
00:29:21I, I'm not, I'm not, I am not taking away from Braun Breaker.
00:29:26I didn't, I didn't think he looked gassed.
00:29:27I didn't, I didn't perceive that.
00:29:29Um, you really, yeah, you could tell he was breathing a little bit heavy when he walked
00:29:36back up the ramp.
00:29:37Oh yeah.
00:29:38I didn't, I didn't notice that.
00:29:39It was one of those things.
00:29:41I'm like, Hey, you just ran basically a half mile downhill.
00:29:48Right.
00:29:49Right.
00:29:49I couldn't even run a straight lot, half mile straight line.
00:29:55So, yeah.
00:29:57Um, but yeah, I thought, uh, yeah, no, but he looked great, you know, and he's, he's obviously
00:30:03he's back.
00:30:04So, um, I like this idea of re-solidifying the vision.
00:30:09Yeah.
00:30:10And Paul Heyman come out at the end.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13I'm glad they didn't give up on it.
00:30:14If you're going to keep going with this stable, you've got to find a way to reinvigorate it.
00:30:22Now that these two guys, Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker are getting healthy.
00:30:28Right.
00:30:29Right.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:30I'm glad that because I know a lot of people thought, Oh, this is snake bit.
00:30:32They should give up on this faction, but I never saw any reason to, I think it's good
00:30:36that they've stayed the course.
00:30:38Austin and I both did.
00:30:40Yeah.
00:30:40Yeah.
00:30:41We, we said it that it needs to, you need to kill it.
00:30:44Right.
00:30:44I do think you do have to turn Braun or Bronson face sooner rather than later.
00:30:51Oh, I don't think they need to rush it.
00:30:53I don't think they need to rush that.
00:30:55Um, but, uh, no, but I thought Braun looked very good.
00:30:59So then, okay.
00:31:01So what was next after that?
00:31:03What we had was the, the women's world championship.
00:31:11Okay.
00:31:12So that is where Jenny and I paused it.
00:31:16Stephanie Vacker versus Liv Morgan.
00:31:18So I don't know the outcome.
00:31:21This is where I got very angry.
00:31:25Really?
00:31:26Um, yeah, one, it was like a seven minute match.
00:31:33Wasn't that short?
00:31:35Yeah.
00:31:35It, it, it couldn't have been longer than 10 minutes.
00:31:38Okay.
00:31:39Um, you had a run in by Roxanne Perez and you, a run in by Roxanne Perez and, uh, uh,
00:31:54Raquel
00:31:54Rodriguez and you had Liv get, you had, uh, Stephanie Vacker get distracted, uh, dive off, dive on to both
00:32:06of them.
00:32:08Uh, uh, Raquel pushed Liv out of the way so she wouldn't get hit.
00:32:12Liv snuck out behind Stephanie Vacker, threw her head first into the steps, got back into the ring.
00:32:19Oblivion, one, two, three.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23Um, one, there, there was no reason.
00:32:29It was, it was like you were setting back the division a little bit because I remember a time when
00:32:38they would have cut that match short on mania because another match went long or to give time to the
00:32:46main event.
00:32:46And the women's division to me is above that.
00:32:49Now you don't do that, especially streaming live on ESPN unlimited.
00:32:58There was no reason to cut it short.
00:33:01And if, if this was the plan, I don't understand how you, how do you even know that?
00:33:07I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm missing something here.
00:33:10I'm not following your logic at all.
00:33:12Well, I mean, it feels like they cut the match short.
00:33:16It felt very, very rushed.
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:19But yeah, but a lot of these matches tonight have been short.
00:33:22And that's what I don't get.
00:33:24I don't, that's the overwhelming question I have with the entire night.
00:33:30See, I like it.
00:33:31I, I, I'd, I'd rather these not drag on forever.
00:33:34If you need some on WrestleMania, you need a couple epic matches, even if you have a couple
00:33:41of them on night one and a couple of them on night two, you know, um, and we, we had
00:33:47one of those matches, which we're about to get to.
00:33:50Yeah.
00:33:51But I thought, I thought Seth Rollins versus Gunther was pretty epic.
00:33:54I, okay.
00:33:58I just did like this match being so short.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:02I thought it deserved more and it just kind of gave me a PTSD flashback to when the women's
00:34:10matches would get short changed.
00:34:12Yeah.
00:34:13Um, and I really do not like Liv Morgan's theme song.
00:34:18Oh, I heard a new song.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22I, yeah, I can live without it.
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:26I liked her.
00:34:26Uh, I liked her entrance.
00:34:28The, um, uh, watch me.
00:34:31I like that better.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33I, I, I was, I watched it and I'm like, okay.
00:34:38But I do think, I mean, I'll give her credit.
00:34:40I think in the video, she does look like a credible pop star.
00:34:43I think my issue with it is it just seems like every other cookie cutter pop star right
00:34:53now.
00:34:53And I think, yeah, there's nothing special about it, but, but I think it, I think it
00:34:57fits in though.
00:34:59It does.
00:35:00It fits right in with the Tate McRae, Sabrina, Sabrina Carpenter and whatever.
00:35:06But it's like, I don't know.
00:35:10I just hate how plastic music has become.
00:35:17There's always been plastic music.
00:35:18It's okay.
00:35:19What was that?
00:35:20There's always been plastic music.
00:35:21It's okay.
00:35:22To me, it's more prevalent now.
00:35:25Oh, I don't know.
00:35:27Like if I, if I, I hear one of me or one of my friends get called a man child
00:35:34again, I'm
00:35:36going to lose it.
00:35:37Like that is the dumbest fucking song I've ever heard.
00:35:42Who's I haven't heard the song.
00:35:43Who's that?
00:35:44Who does that?
00:35:45Sabrina Carpenter.
00:35:46Her.
00:35:46Oh, I probably did hear it when she was a guest on SNL.
00:35:49I probably heard her.
00:35:50She, it's the one she performed in the boy shorts and the t-shirt.
00:35:54Oh, okay.
00:35:55Okay.
00:35:56You know?
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:57I certainly don't mind the term.
00:35:58I mean, you know, we are kind of, I mean, we're, we're grown adult men talking about
00:36:02wrestling.
00:36:03We kind of are man children, aren't we?
00:36:04No, no.
00:36:05We're talking about.
00:36:06I embrace it.
00:36:08Titans of sport, Matt.
00:36:10I embrace it.
00:36:11When someone calls me a man child, I'm like, yep.
00:36:14I mean, I, I, I think in my soon to be even older age tomorrow.
00:36:20Yeah.
00:36:20Happy birthday.
00:36:22Well, you can wish it to me tomorrow when we're live.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Awesome.
00:36:28Um, when I'm, you know, when I turned 43 that, you know, I, I don't know.
00:36:36It just, I realized that I am quickly becoming the older, the old people I would make fun
00:36:42of when I was younger.
00:36:44That's a choice, dude, dude.
00:36:46I'm older than you.
00:36:47That's a choice.
00:36:47You can't help getting older, but you can help getting old.
00:36:51Just say, no, don't let the old man in.
00:36:55You'll be much happier.
00:36:57You don't have to, you don't have to become, you don't have to become the old man.
00:37:02It's a fucking choice.
00:37:03I, I, I, I'm not the bitter old man though.
00:37:07Like I just, but you're opening the door, you're opening the door to that.
00:37:11You're complaining about, you're complaining about the pop music.
00:37:15You don't like, you've already opened that door, dude.
00:37:17You got to shut that door.
00:37:19I don't like either.
00:37:20I'm like, that's, that's different.
00:37:22But, but, but when you say things like, when you say things like, I don't like the way
00:37:26this modern music is, I mean, come on, dude, I actually, I know, I know, but that's what
00:37:33my brain here, philosophical thought that it just all sounds the same.
00:37:39Oh dear God, you're, you've already, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're opening
00:37:44the door.
00:37:45Don't invite him in.
00:37:46It's sinking in because I'm like, they all sound the same.
00:37:50Shut the door, dude.
00:37:51Don't let the old man in.
00:37:52Once he's in, you can't get him back out.
00:37:54Don't let him in.
00:37:55I'm serious.
00:37:55To my shoulder, my elbow in my back.
00:38:00I'm talking about your mindset.
00:38:01I'm not talking about your physical ailments.
00:38:05I mean, I'm older than you.
00:38:07And I just say, I, you know, I'm not getting old.
00:38:09Fuck that.
00:38:13I'm going to the gym after this.
00:38:15Are you really?
00:38:18I'm very impressed.
00:38:19What, what circuits you doing?
00:38:22Arm day, leg day.
00:38:24No, I'm just going to do cardio tonight.
00:38:27Well, I I'm proud of you, Matt.
00:38:29That's awesome.
00:38:30Good job.
00:38:31I'm not letting the old man in.
00:38:32I I'm going to take the young man out.
00:38:35Vito.
00:38:36He's got to go for his night walk.
00:38:38And then we.
00:38:38Your dog vetoes your dog.
00:38:40I just want to.
00:38:41I don't want you in any trouble.
00:38:42You know, what do you say?
00:38:43I'm going to take the young man out.
00:38:47I don't want anyone to think you're talking about a literal young man or, or your, or that
00:38:52that's like a nickname for something.
00:38:54I'm going to pull out the young man.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm going to get big Don props.
00:38:58I just saw big Don put something in the chat.
00:39:00I love the movie body slam.
00:39:03Oh, there you go.
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:05I've never seen that.
00:39:06Believe it or not.
00:39:07Are you kidding me?
00:39:08I've never seen body slam.
00:39:10Cheesy 80s flick.
00:39:12Is Piper in that?
00:39:13Is that what Rodney Piper?
00:39:14Is Dirk Bennett in it?
00:39:15Yeah.
00:39:15I should see it.
00:39:17Dirk Bennett from the A-team is in it.
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:21It's, it's all.
00:39:23Well, it sounds like, uh, Mr. D is, uh, you know, cause he also put in the chat room.
00:39:27He is a pro wrestling fan.
00:39:29Lou Albano.
00:39:30One of the most underrated managers of all time.
00:39:34So he can't be all bad.
00:39:37Maybe Mr. D can help us.
00:39:38I never understood the rubber bands on his face.
00:39:41Maybe Mr. D wants to switch teams.
00:39:43Wants to be on a team tough.
00:39:44You know, you know what?
00:39:46I would, if Mr. D wanted to switch teams, I would let Mr. D, we would do a trial run
00:39:53episode
00:39:53of tough bumps with Mr. D on it.
00:39:5680s classic.
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:57You know, Mr. D you're right.
00:39:59Um, 80s was amazing time for professional wrestling.
00:40:05Is Mr. D, uh, is this a face turn for Mr. D or are we turning heel and forming a
00:40:10faction
00:40:10with him?
00:40:11I know, no.
00:40:12What's happening here?
00:40:14I think it's a face turn for Mr. D.
00:40:16I like it.
00:40:17I like it.
00:40:18Mr. D, you are welcome to come into the chat anytime you want.
00:40:22You're our friend now, Mr. D.
00:40:23Hey, you know what?
00:40:25Angie can ridicule me all you want.
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:28Yeah.
00:40:28We don't mind.
00:40:28Everyone kind of does anyway.
00:40:31So we're cool with it.
00:40:31We're good with it.
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:33Um, views are still views.
00:40:34And if you want to throw in wrestling tidbits every now and again, what the hell?
00:40:39Absolutely.
00:40:40Absolutely.
00:40:40Body slam.
00:40:41That's what got me next.
00:40:43Now, if he throws up something about no holds barred.
00:40:48Oh boy.
00:40:49Matt, you might get replaced.
00:40:52For anyone who doesn't know, I've never watched no holds barred all the way through.
00:40:55You are going to watch no holds barred.
00:40:58If I have to take a vacation to Manchester, New Hampshire and sit beside you to watch no
00:41:06holds barred.
00:41:08That's a violation of the Geneva Convention.
00:41:10You can't do that.
00:41:11Um, I can.
00:41:14It is not torture, Matt, because what happens is about five minutes into it, your brain just
00:41:20goes nuts.
00:41:20Yeah, that's about as far as I got into it.
00:41:25Um, the moment you see executive produced by Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon game over.
00:41:33Well, it looks like Mr. Mr. D has seen it.
00:41:35Zeus played by a tiny Lister.
00:41:38God rest his soul.
00:41:39Yes.
00:41:40Debo.
00:41:41Oh boy.
00:41:42Oh boy.
00:41:43Oh, so what?
00:41:44Uh, okay.
00:41:45So where'd we?
00:41:46Okay.
00:41:46So this is where for me, I got really mad.
00:41:51Because they had John Cena come out and announce the attendance, which I told Austin
00:41:57in our private chat, this is the most inflated fucking number I've ever heard.
00:42:03They said that they had over 50,000 people there.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08Didn't he?
00:42:08So I saw something, Jenny and I obviously haven't gotten that far yet in the show, but
00:42:12I thought I saw something online.
00:42:13Didn't he phrase it as in the building or something like that?
00:42:18Yeah.
00:42:18Which, because we all know how they do it.
00:42:20They count everybody who's an employee there, literally everybody who's working there.
00:42:26That way they can say in the building, in attendance, literally in attendance, not people who bought
00:42:31tickets.
00:42:32Then we had another return.
00:42:35Yeah.
00:42:36Bianca Belair.
00:42:37Oh yeah.
00:42:38I saw something about that too.
00:42:40Bianca Belair came out with tape on her injured finger and she announced by taking off her huge
00:42:51flower coat and revealing a pregnancy bump.
00:42:56She's pregnant.
00:42:59So John Cena added one more to the attendance number for the unborn child.
00:43:05That was cheesy as hell.
00:43:07Whatever.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:09Um, yeah, I look, I think, and I want to choose my words carefully here because I don't want
00:43:17to be insensitive.
00:43:18I don't want to be an asshole.
00:43:19Well, this could be the end of Bianca Belair's career.
00:43:23Why?
00:43:25Well, she's been out for over a year now.
00:43:28She looks about three months pregnant.
00:43:31So that's another six months.
00:43:33She's going to be out at the very least.
00:43:35And then she's going to have to work her way back into ring shape.
00:43:40And then who knows where we're at with the finger thing, because I have read online that they thought
00:43:47they would have to amputate this finger.
00:43:50Oh God, really?
00:43:51Yeah.
00:43:51It's not good.
00:43:53So I just think that you lose a lot of momentum you've had.
00:44:00And I think it's unfortunate, but I, I hope it's not the case, but I could see this being
00:44:09kind of like, uh, when she's like, Hey, I'm good.
00:44:12They're like, what?
00:44:14Oh, I, I completely disagree.
00:44:18I think she's a big enough star.
00:44:20Um, I, I put her, I put her on almost the same level as, uh, well, I'd put her on
00:44:25the
00:44:25same level as yo sky.
00:44:26I would put her almost on the same level as Rhea Ripley.
00:44:29I think when she's ready to come back, they will find something for her to do.
00:44:33No problem.
00:44:34I think, I mean, look at Becky Lynch.
00:44:36I mean, she, you know, what, what do they have?
00:44:39Two kids, her and Seth.
00:44:40I mean, come on.
00:44:43I, I think, I think you're being, you're being unnecessarily a pessimistic.
00:44:47I think she's, I think she's got a lot.
00:44:49She's got a big future still.
00:44:50I'm not trying to be, I know I'm looking at it as a whole big picture.
00:44:56I look at the young people actually know I smell good.
00:44:59I'm wearing a old spice cracking guard and underarm deodorant.
00:45:04Oh, good.
00:45:04Good.
00:45:05Yeah.
00:45:06Um, I look at it from a perspective of all this great young talent they have in the women's
00:45:13division right now.
00:45:15Yeah.
00:45:15And there's not enough spots for all of them.
00:45:18Um, you know, and who knows, maybe Bianca decides that she has a child.
00:45:27She wants to stay at home.
00:45:29Oh, maybe, maybe.
00:45:30But if she, but if that's not what she wants, if she wants to come back there, they're always
00:45:34going to have room for her.
00:45:35She's, she's remarkable.
00:45:37She's a remarkable talent.
00:45:39I just, I think the landscape changes so quick.
00:45:44So what AJ Lee was gone for more than a decade and she's, I mean, come on, dude, don't, don't
00:45:49it doesn't matter.
00:45:51There's always going to, and the landscape changing.
00:45:54I mean, people love nostalgia.
00:45:55They love to see people they haven't seen in a while.
00:45:57Come back.
00:45:58Uh, wrestling fans love nostalgia literally more than anybody.
00:46:01Yeah.
00:46:01She could.
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:03Okay.
00:46:04Okay.
00:46:04Chew your tits.
00:46:06I'm just saying.
00:46:07I don't know why you're being so pessimistic.
00:46:11I'm not being pessimistic.
00:46:12I am just saying I've seen this in the business before.
00:46:16A talent at the top of the world ends up taking two and a half years off.
00:46:22They come back.
00:46:23The pop is there, but the magic isn't.
00:46:25And then it just, I, and I'm saying I could see that situation unfolding with Bianca Belair.
00:46:33Oh, I, I, I think it's very unlikely.
00:46:36I think you're worried about nothing.
00:46:37She's going to be just fine.
00:46:39All right.
00:46:40I want it notated that when we're doing this show in another two years and you're like,
00:46:46Oh man, Bianca, what's missing Matt.
00:46:49April 18th, 2026.
00:46:52I said, okay, I said, all right.
00:47:00All right.
00:47:01It is noted.
00:47:03Awesome.
00:47:04It is noted.
00:47:05It is documented.
00:47:06It will live.
00:47:07And, uh, speaking of noted, uh, Austin Hicks is, uh, not here.
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:13The, the, the, the Austin Hicks posse is going to be so disappointed.
00:47:19The, the, the sole proprietor, uh, of, uh, we smacked up.
00:47:24Mr. D says we smacked up Pat Buck.
00:47:28Good.
00:47:29I've never been a fan of Pat Buck.
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32Ryback had a falling out with him, right?
00:47:33With Pat Buck.
00:47:34Didn't they used to be business partners or something?
00:47:36I mean, the guy, the guy says, I will never say belt again.
00:47:41Like stupid crap like that, you know, call it a belt, call it a strap, call it the title.
00:47:49I don't care.
00:47:51I mean, we all know it's a belt, damn it.
00:47:53Like what?
00:47:57Yeah.
00:47:57You know what, Matt?
00:47:58Like I, it's, it's when people try to change the business by changing nuanced terms like that.
00:48:07Like, it's like, you're not a revolutionary.
00:48:10You're just muddying up the waters.
00:48:13Yeah.
00:48:14Oh, well, I won't say belt cause I'm legitimizing it.
00:48:18No, you're not.
00:48:19You're just a jackass.
00:48:21Cause if you, if you go to the merch stand, what do they sell you?
00:48:26They don't sell you a replica title.
00:48:30Right.
00:48:31From Jersey.
00:48:33Pat Buck is from New Jersey.
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:38Um, well, so after the Bianca Belair announcement, what was next?
00:48:44It was our main event of night one.
00:48:46We had the undisputed WWE championship, Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton.
00:48:55So with, uh, yes, Pat McAfee.
00:49:00Pat McAfee.
00:49:01There was a shocker.
00:49:03All right.
00:49:03Now, and by the way, before you say any of this, for listeners who are, or viewers who
00:49:08are joining us late, I have not seen any of this yet.
00:49:11So this will be, so I will be learning about what happened, uh, from Eric.
00:49:15Uh, so you'll get my unvarnished, uh, shall we say reaction.
00:49:22I'm very curious.
00:49:24Randy Orton's entrance was just inortly long for no reason.
00:49:30Well, he takes a long time and he walks slow.
00:49:33I get that.
00:49:34But they played a song like two and a half times.
00:49:37Yeah.
00:49:38What was the reaction?
00:49:39Was the crowd singing?
00:49:41At the beginning, but they died out.
00:49:44Yeah.
00:49:45And it's like, okay.
00:49:47And then they had Cody's entrance, which I then kind of in my head was thought logically.
00:49:56And was like, well, wait a damn minute here.
00:50:02Um, thought logically on it and was like, that's why they had Randy take so long.
00:50:09They had each incarnation of Cody wearing tights as, and a mannequin in a case.
00:50:17So it started with Cody Rhodes in the green tights with the CR on it.
00:50:23Yeah.
00:50:24Then there was another case that had the dashing Cody Rhodes outfit.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:32Then there was another case that had stardust.
00:50:35Yeah.
00:50:36And then the last case had the American nightmare.
00:50:40Okay.
00:50:42Ring general coat.
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:44Cody came out.
00:50:47And was wearing an all gold nightmare mask with a gold ring general coat.
00:50:54Okay.
00:50:54Um, they went to the ring.
00:50:56Pat McAfee takes the, oh my God.
00:51:01Austin is here.
00:51:02Austin Hicks.
00:51:02Welcome.
00:51:03Hey.
00:51:05Okay.
00:51:06So proprietor.
00:51:08What's up?
00:51:09What's up?
00:51:09We've been on the air for 51 minutes.
00:51:12Yeah.
00:51:14Well, he made it for the main event.
00:51:17Yeah.
00:51:17We're talking about the main event.
00:51:19Oh, good.
00:51:20Anything else you wanted to talk about?
00:51:22We can rehash at the end of tomorrow night's episode.
00:51:26Because we have important business to get to after this.
00:51:30Right.
00:51:33Longtime viewers of the show will, we'll get a kick out of this.
00:51:39Okay.
00:51:39So, but then you had Pat McAfee take the microphone from Kathy Kelly, announce, and Pat McAfee had
00:51:50his own entrance.
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:52And he flipped off the crowd the whole way down the ramp.
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:56Um, you had Pat McAfee take the mic, announce Randy, Randy Orton, call the crowd fat pigs
00:52:05and whatever the hell else.
00:52:08Yeah.
00:52:09Um, and then Cody gets announced.
00:52:14They go to tie up and Pat McAfee hits him in the head with the microphone.
00:52:19It's Cody with the microphone.
00:52:21Yeah.
00:52:21Yeah.
00:52:22And he begins putting the boots to him.
00:52:24And this is how the match started.
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27And then, uh, they get out.
00:52:29Cody gets the upper hand, hits Pat with the crossroads, throws Randy Orton into the ring
00:52:35post, goes out and lo and behold, who's outside the ring, but jelly roll.
00:52:41He, it's like he, it's like he spawned outside the ring.
00:52:46He just popped up.
00:52:48He was just standing there.
00:52:50Yeah.
00:52:50And they put Pat McAfee on the announce table, but they do it awkwardly.
00:52:58Pat's upper half is on the end of the table.
00:53:02His bottom leg, his legs are dangling off the table.
00:53:06Jelly roll is on the Spanish announce table.
00:53:09I'm sitting here and I go, oh shit, they're really going to do this.
00:53:17Jelly roll jumps off the Spanish announce table and elbow drops Pat McAfee through the
00:53:24announce table.
00:53:25Okay.
00:53:26And this, this announcer table exploded into a million pieces.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33Like there was no, there was no building this table back up.
00:53:35Yeah.
00:53:36There were shards of wood that shot out from this table.
00:53:40Yeah.
00:53:41Um, they wheel Pat McAfee out on the stretcher.
00:53:44He does the football thumbs up that he's okay.
00:53:48And then flip.
00:53:49And then he, he turns it to a middle finger.
00:53:53That's funny.
00:53:54Um, and then they get the match underway.
00:53:59I actually really liked how they did this.
00:54:01They got the, all the shenanigans and stuff out of the way.
00:54:04And then they just let Orton and Cody just go.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:06That's cool.
00:54:07They told a great story.
00:54:09Both of them got juice.
00:54:11Both of them bled.
00:54:12Cody.
00:54:13Cody bled a lot.
00:54:15I think Cody did a bad blade job because he, gosh.
00:54:19Oh.
00:54:20Oh my goodness.
00:54:22He bled more than Orton did.
00:54:24Yeah.
00:54:25Um, but, uh, basically Pat McAfee comes back in, in a ref's shirt.
00:54:34Randy Orton O's him.
00:54:36He's wearing a neck brace too.
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:40I legit started laughing out loud because it's a very wide shot of the ramp.
00:54:43You just see Pat McAfee.
00:54:45He's running down the ramp, holding his neck, but he's also flipping off the crowd while he's running out of
00:54:50the ramp.
00:54:51That's funny.
00:54:53Wow.
00:54:55And, uh, Cody ends up winning.
00:54:58Okay.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:54:59After he low blows Randy Orton and crossroads him.
00:55:03Okay.
00:55:04What was the, what was the crowd reaction at both during the match and at the finish?
00:55:09Um, Austin and I talked about this.
00:55:11We thought this was Cody's heel turn because crowd was booing Cody.
00:55:16The crowd, the crowd was booing Cody pretty much.
00:55:18They were.
00:55:19Okay.
00:55:20Um, they were booing Cody and, um, give credit to the announced team of Wade Barrett and Michael Cole.
00:55:28They were really playing up the rumors of the back injury suffered by Randy Orton.
00:55:35And Randy was selling it big time too.
00:55:38Yeah.
00:55:38Um, and that was getting Cody more booze, but after the bell, Cody's celebrating as the young Vito joins us.
00:55:52Um, Randy comes back in, takes the bell, hits Cody with it.
00:55:59And then the long awaited return of the punk kick.
00:56:03He punt, he punt kicks Cody roads.
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:07And then main that's how mania goes off the air for night.
00:56:10One is Orton holding up the title.
00:56:12And laughing.
00:56:14Yeah.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:15Well, he wasn't laughing.
00:56:17And then, uh, during the post show, they showed this, uh, Cody's left eye is swollen.
00:56:24It was swollen shut after that.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:27Yeah.
00:56:27I don't know.
00:56:28I don't know if it's from the punt kick or the belt shot, but yeah, Cody's eye is legit, legit
00:56:33swollen shut.
00:56:34Okay.
00:56:35Okay.
00:56:35Um, yeah, I see big, uh, Mr. D commented.
00:56:39Port Moresby to Puerto Rico, the commander at onion scum.
00:56:44You know, Mr. D, I want to make this clear.
00:56:47We are not affiliated with nobody loves onion.
00:56:51Nobody likes onions.
00:56:53We have no affiliation with them at all.
00:56:57Believe what you want.
00:56:59I've had a converse.
00:57:00I've had a conversation with Moody, uh, Patrick's producer.
00:57:03And I'm, and I'm going to, uh, you know, and I'm an occasional listener of nobody likes onions.
00:57:07I'm kind of a fan.
00:57:08I don't listen.
00:57:09Um, I, I like Patrick.
00:57:11I do like Patrick Melton, but that's, that's as far as it goes.
00:57:14I've never talked to Patrick and I've only, I've only had one conversation with Moody, his producer.
00:57:18I, yeah, I have no affiliation with them.
00:57:23But we're not, yeah, we're not onions, quote unquote.
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:26I, I think that's a great opportunity to clear that up.
00:57:29We're, we act on our own volition.
00:57:32There's no affiliation.
00:57:34Um, as a matter of fact, I, you know, Dirk Don asked if some people that were coming in,
00:57:41leaving negative comments were onions.
00:57:44To what on our shell, which I said possibly could be, who cares?
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50Um, but look, I think, you know, if I were to grade night one,
00:57:58I would say from the women's intercontinental championship match on minus the women's championship
00:58:06match, which I absolutely hated.
00:58:10Um, it was way, Austin agrees with me.
00:58:14It was, I was genuinely shocked at how short the match was.
00:58:17I told Matt, I had PTSD back to old WrestleManias when they'd short change women's matches for
00:58:25time.
00:58:26It was legit under 10 minutes, which was like, yeah, the build for that, especially with the
00:58:33build for that match.
00:58:34It's like, wow.
00:58:35Like, I, I, I, I don't get it.
00:58:40I don't fucking get it.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:42I don't get it either.
00:58:43And, uh, I mean, I think it, I think when you do something like that and you guys can
00:58:50disagree with me if you want, Mr. D, you can disagree.
00:58:52Uh, anyone can disagree.
00:58:55I think when you do that, you, you do the most damage to the person that won that match.
00:59:04You hurt them more than anything.
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:08Because they are not looked at as a legitimate champion.
00:59:15They're not.
00:59:17And now, especially with the way Liv Morgan won it.
00:59:21Yeah.
00:59:23Cause half the match had judgment day stuff going on and like, you know, and the, the
00:59:31entire, the entire build is Stephanie basically saying, yeah, you need the judgment day to
00:59:35win the match.
00:59:35And then lo and behold, she needs the judgment day to do it.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:39None of it made sense to me.
00:59:41And if you were building to turn Liv face, what happened in this match makes it that much
00:59:47harder.
00:59:48Yeah.
00:59:49No, I don't think they're building to that.
00:59:50I think they were, I don't think they are.
00:59:53I don't think they are now.
00:59:55No, no.
00:59:56Now that's over.
00:59:57I mean, logically that's over.
00:59:59You can't get there now.
01:00:01She's better as a heel anyway.
01:00:02She's much better.
01:00:03I agree with that.
01:00:04Yeah.
01:00:06Um, Melton knows your channel because of Billy.
01:00:08He sent them.
01:00:09I, I don't know if I agree with that.
01:00:12Mr.
01:00:12D.
01:00:13I, I don't know if I agree with that.
01:00:16Oh, yeah.
01:00:17Well, with Mr.
01:00:18D now, Austin, you, he talked about the movie body slam from the eighties.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:24And, uh, captain Lou Albano and he hates Pat Buck.
01:00:29So it's like an honorary tough bumps fan now.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:35Yeah.
01:00:36You hate Pat Buck.
01:00:37You're in.
01:00:38Oh, cool.
01:00:39Yeah.
01:00:40I, I, yeah.
01:00:41I went on a rant about Pat Buck.
01:00:43You missed it.
01:00:44Oh, cause I hate it when people, when guys say, I will no longer say titles.
01:00:50You don't say belts.
01:00:52What the fuck do you call them?
01:00:55Well, that was a Vince thing.
01:00:56Well, yeah.
01:00:57Well, Vince is a moron too.
01:00:59Vince said, uh, I remember Bruce Pritchard saying, Vince used to say a belt holds up your
01:01:02pants.
01:01:03They're not belts.
01:01:03They're titles.
01:01:05I've heard that.
01:01:06Yeah.
01:01:06Yeah.
01:01:06But yet when you go to the souvenir stand.
01:01:09Oh yeah.
01:01:10No, I agree with you.
01:01:12I agree with you.
01:01:12I was, I was, I've never, I've never understood that discourse.
01:01:16Like call it whatever the fuck you want to call it.
01:01:19If you want to call it a belt, call it a belt.
01:01:21If you want to call it a title, call it a title.
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:24Like, I get why you like for politically correct reasons, you may not want to say that in certain
01:01:32areas of the United States of America, like, Oh, that first time in African Americans won
01:01:40the strap.
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:41Like, okay, probably don't want to say that, but you know, so, so yeah, I look, I give night
01:01:53one.
01:01:57Um, I give night one.
01:02:00I'll give it a C plus.
01:02:05I think if I were to give night one, like a rating out of 10, I would say I would
01:02:11let's
01:02:11shoot for a grade.
01:02:12Cause I gave it a grade, a grade.
01:02:14Okay.
01:02:15Uh, I think C plus is fine because the six man that opened the show, it was a very nothing
01:02:22match.
01:02:23I said the same thing.
01:02:25Like it was a very nothing match.
01:02:27Uh, it, it was all building up to the speed bump at the end, which was cool admittedly,
01:02:33but that could have been a stack.
01:02:36He landed it.
01:02:38Well, he jumped off the ring post.
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:42Which is very impressive.
01:02:43Risky.
01:02:44Yup.
01:02:44Yup.
01:02:45And he landed it perfectly.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:47Uh, that could have been a segment.
01:02:49It didn't have to be a whole match out of it.
01:02:51And, um, Jacob Fatu and Drew, I liked, but it was lacking something.
01:02:57It was lacking, you know, a little bit.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02Uh, page coming back is awesome.
01:03:04Good for her.
01:03:06Uh, huge pop, big pop.
01:03:08Yeah.
01:03:09I'm happy.
01:03:09She kept her old.
01:03:10I thought she got the second biggest pop of the night outside of this mannequin.
01:03:15Yeah.
01:03:15Uh, the stardust mannequin got the pop of the night.
01:03:20Yeah.
01:03:21Legit.
01:03:22It's funny.
01:03:24Seth and Gunther is probably the best, my favorite match on this show.
01:03:28That match was so good.
01:03:30I got to give it to Cody and Randy.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:32That was close.
01:03:33That's a close second for me, but I love.
01:03:35I think Cody and Randy was just, there are times when more often than not, to me, a main
01:03:42event doesn't live up to the bill.
01:03:44Well, this one exceeded the bill.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:49Um, I give it a, I have to give it an incomplete because Jenny and I are, uh, so I
01:03:54was telling
01:03:55Erica, Austin, Jenny and I had to pause it during the, uh, live and, uh, Stephanie.
01:04:00Well, you can give your grade to start tomorrow night.
01:04:04Right.
01:04:05I'll give my, I'll have to give my grade tomorrow.
01:04:07Yeah.
01:04:08To start tomorrow night's episode.
01:04:10But, uh, Cody.
01:04:11Yeah.
01:04:12Cody and Orton was really good.
01:04:13I thought Cody's entrance was awesome.
01:04:15It was like, I think it was the best entrance he's had at a mania.
01:04:19I think the first time against Seth was, uh, I'll give you that.
01:04:24Yeah.
01:04:25Was the best.
01:04:26Yeah.
01:04:26Um, but we have our own main event.
01:04:31So, yes, as far, uh, I assume you guys know, I was in St. Louis earlier this week, uh, went
01:04:38to a St. Louis blues game.
01:04:39They beat the penguins.
01:04:41Yeah.
01:04:41No one cares.
01:04:42Let's get to, but I was at a Walmart grabbing food and I found the last 12 pack available.
01:04:52Oh my God.
01:04:53Real American beer.
01:04:56Oh my God.
01:04:57The Hulk, the Hulk Hogan can of real American beer.
01:05:01Now, before you, now, um, I want to say, I watched the press conference for tomorrow's
01:05:08real American freestyle event.
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:11They have cans of real American beer sitting on the podiums.
01:05:16Oh, nice.
01:05:17In front of the fighters, in front of the wrestlers, which I don't know how that helps
01:05:22with, uh, weight cut.
01:05:25Right.
01:05:26Salud, Big D.
01:05:27Mr. D.
01:05:28Mr. D.
01:05:29Mr. D.
01:05:29Salud.
01:05:31Uh, um, so now is it cool?
01:05:35It's cold.
01:05:36Yeah.
01:05:36I just grabbed it out the fridge.
01:05:37Well, and how much was it though?
01:05:38Don't bury the lead.
01:05:39How much was the 12 pack?
01:05:43The 12 pack, because they didn't have these in singular things.
01:05:46I had to buy the 12 pack.
01:05:48It was $11 for the 12 pack.
01:05:51So was it 10 99 plus tax or 11 99 plus tax?
01:05:56It's 10, 10 99 plus tax.
01:05:58So deposit.
01:05:59Yeah.
01:06:00So around a dollar I can.
01:06:02Yeah.
01:06:03And so, um, is this your first time trying it?
01:06:08Yeah.
01:06:10So there's a little scripture here that I want to read.
01:06:13Oh yeah.
01:06:14There's a scripture.
01:06:15Oh boy.
01:06:16Is it Ezekiel 25, 17?
01:06:19No, it's that America's at its best when united.
01:06:23And if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's the simple pleasure of sharing a beer.
01:06:28That's why we started real American beer to bring people together one beer at a time.
01:06:34And you probably can't see it, but it is signed by it.
01:06:37Oh yeah.
01:06:38It has Hulk Hogan's like signature on it.
01:06:40Are you going to like save a can of this?
01:06:43I am.
01:06:44You are not, not unopened probably, but dude, I want an unopened can of this from you.
01:06:49I will give you a few bucks.
01:06:50Okay.
01:06:52Uh, it has a red tab, which is, um, so here we go.
01:06:57All right.
01:06:58Wow.
01:06:59This is a big moment.
01:07:03So I will say drink responsibly, you know, don't drive, don't do any, all that.
01:07:07Uh, so yeah, here we go.
01:07:09Drink real American beer.
01:07:11Well, we'll find out.
01:07:12We'll see what Austin's, uh, how is it?
01:07:15Oh, that doesn't sound good.
01:07:19That's a weird.
01:07:20That's a weird aftertaste.
01:07:21I'll say that.
01:07:24Aftertaste is not generally a positive, uh, yeah, it's like, uh, yeah, no, but if you
01:07:32had Budweiser, like Bud heavy, it tastes a lot like that almost really.
01:07:38Um, yeah, it's like not much like to start, but it's like very heavy at the end.
01:07:44It's like a very heavy beer taste.
01:07:46Okay.
01:07:47Um, to be honest, I've had worse beers than this.
01:07:52Okay.
01:07:52Uh, would this be a beer I would seek out?
01:07:55No.
01:07:56Um, put it on a, like put it on a scale of Natty Ice to the best beer you've had.
01:08:05Where, where's it at?
01:08:06So Natty Ice to the best beer.
01:08:11Uh, I would rather drink this than Natty Ice.
01:08:15Okay.
01:08:16But, I don't know, like, I would drink this, I would drink like Bud Light over this, I would
01:08:25drink Budweiser over this, Bush Light, which is a beer I commonly drink, um, Mango Cart.
01:08:34I don't know if you guys know what Mango Cart is.
01:08:35I've heard of it.
01:08:36It's a very good beer.
01:08:38Um, but yeah, it's, it's not horrible.
01:08:42I'll say that.
01:08:43It's not horrible.
01:08:45I've had worse beers, but this would not be a beer I would, uh, go try and find, to be
01:08:51honest.
01:08:52Okay.
01:08:52Okay.
01:08:52But you'll finish that can.
01:08:54Mm-hmm.
01:08:54Mm-hmm.
01:08:55Okay.
01:08:56Yeah.
01:08:57It is.
01:08:58Well, it's something.
01:08:59I saw it, I was going down the alcohol section in St. Louis because one of my friends also
01:09:05went down it, and I saw it out of the corner of my eye, and I went, I have to
01:09:09buy this.
01:09:10I have to buy it.
01:09:12Well, it's amazing that you even found it, so.
01:09:14Matt, I'm going to need you to make, those great segments you make, make one of just real
01:09:20American beer.
01:09:21I am going to send this to Real American Beer on Twitter.
01:09:25Okay.
01:09:26Okay.
01:09:27Just say, hashtag not horrible.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:32I mean, that's, uh, that's something.
01:09:36You know, Mr. D brings up a very good point, Austin.
01:09:40You bought that in the city that is the home of Budweiser, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.
01:09:47Yeah, I toured that.
01:09:48Oh, you did?
01:09:49Yeah, it was really cool.
01:09:51Yeah.
01:09:52Oh.
01:09:54All right.
01:09:54Real American Beer was not there.
01:09:58It is made in Chicago.
01:10:02Okay.
01:10:02All right.
01:10:03I guess so.
01:10:05Four grams of carbs.
01:10:07Oh.
01:10:08Uh, 110 calories per can.
01:10:11I'm trying to find the alcohol percentage, but I can't find it anywhere.
01:10:15Isn't it like 8% like on the new cans?
01:10:20Oh, that'd be, that'd be a head.
01:10:21That'd be heavy for a beer.
01:10:23Most light beers like 4.5 or something like that.
01:10:25And does it list, uh, what percentage, uh, does it say 200% real American?
01:10:30No, it does not.
01:10:31I don't think so.
01:10:32Oh, okay.
01:10:33I don't know if legally they can include that in the ingredients, but.
01:10:38Prada proudly serving the real American spirit.
01:10:41Wow.
01:10:42And then it has, it has Hogan at the top.
01:10:45My buddy, my buddy who, who I watched Mania with, uh, said, is that Hogan from WrestleMania
01:10:52seven?
01:10:53Because it's Hogan holding the American flag.
01:10:56You know, I think that's right.
01:10:58Actually.
01:10:58Yeah.
01:10:58That makes sense.
01:10:59Yeah.
01:11:00On.
01:11:00That makes sense.
01:11:01Wow.
01:11:01I didn't, I didn't think of that, but yeah, it's a, it is a fine beer.
01:11:07Okay.
01:11:08Okay.
01:11:08It's not.
01:11:09I was just, honestly, I, I'm so let down by this.
01:11:13I was hoping it would just be the absolute worst.
01:11:16I wanted, I wanted this to not be good.
01:11:18I very much wanted it to not be good.
01:11:20Did you, big D with, uh, Mr. D with another great question, Austin, did you, what would
01:11:26you rate St. Louis?
01:11:28Oh, St. Louis.
01:11:30Oh, uh, driving in St. Louis isn't fun.
01:11:34I will say that.
01:11:36Um, but the stuff you can do there is cool.
01:11:38Uh, they have the, they have the arch, they have the city museum.
01:11:42Um, blues games are fun to go to, uh, they have a waffle house, which is very rare for
01:11:49us in the Midwest.
01:11:50You don't have any waffle houses.
01:11:52We have waffle.
01:11:53Yeah.
01:11:54Was awful his houses.
01:11:59Well, very good.
01:12:01Very good.
01:12:02I will say the best tutors I've ever been to was in St. Louis.
01:12:06Oh, we went to this restaurant.
01:12:09The restaurant is, it's called like twisted ranch or something.
01:12:12They have no lie, 30 different ranches that you can try.
01:12:18Oh, I didn't know.
01:12:20I didn't know that was possible to make ranches out of 30 different things, but they did it.
01:12:25Oh, interesting.
01:12:26And a zoo.
01:12:27I did go to the, we did, I didn't go to the zoo this time, but I have been to
01:12:31the St.
01:12:31Louis zoo.
01:12:32It is really cool.
01:12:33Uh, went to the aquarium.
01:12:36The aquarium was awesome.
01:12:37When I went there, we stayed at the Adams Mark hotel, which you could look out my hotel
01:12:43room window and see the arch.
01:12:45Nice.
01:12:46I did not go in the arch because I am absolutely terrified of heights.
01:12:52Yeah.
01:12:53I'm not.
01:12:53Yeah.
01:12:53That's not for me personally going.
01:12:55I, I'd like to do that.
01:12:57No, I went in the arch and then I saw the elevator.
01:13:01They put you in to take you up and I, I walked out.
01:13:06I'm like, no way.
01:13:07It's one of them like sit down ones.
01:13:09Right.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:10I'm like, no way in hell.
01:13:17They're like, we haven't had an accident in 40 years.
01:13:21I'm like, you're not helping your cause.
01:13:24You like, you want me to, you want me to go in this.
01:13:29You need to say, we haven't had an accident ever.
01:13:35This is infallible.
01:13:37You will not die.
01:13:40No, I I'm out.
01:13:42I, I walked back to my hotel room.
01:13:44I'm like, y'all have fun.
01:13:45Uh, let me know if you die so we can scrape off the floor, the other side of the arch.
01:13:52Yeah.
01:13:53Well, yeah, it's a very nice looking can.
01:13:56I will say the branding is nice.
01:13:58It's very, very American.
01:14:01It's better than their current can.
01:14:02It's very, it's very much better than their current can.
01:14:04Uh, if you're a, if you're a big Hogan fan, which I am not, I just want to, I just
01:14:10want
01:14:10to make that clear.
01:14:11Uh, this would be a cool collector's item for you.
01:14:14Um, Austin, would you be willing to sell them?
01:14:17For the right price?
01:14:19Sure.
01:14:19I think we should go for $5 a can plus shipping.
01:14:24We have to be able to verify that you're over the age of 21 because we're not getting
01:14:29in trouble for this.
01:14:30Honestly, I have quite a few of these left now.
01:14:33I will be probably sitting on them for a little bit.
01:14:37Uh, it'll probably, you know, it'll probably be like the last resort beer, you know, when
01:14:41you have that, when you have that, when you want, when you want to have some beer.
01:14:48When you got a store.
01:14:50Yeah.
01:14:50When you, you know, when you want some alcohol, but you know, beer isn't accessible and you
01:14:55have these buried in your fridge, like it could be worse.
01:15:00All right.
01:15:00Well, very good.
01:15:02Well, guys, I think we should probably start to wind this one up.
01:15:05Uh, I, yeah.
01:15:07Um, Austin, will you be able to be on time tomorrow?
01:15:11I hope so.
01:15:12No, not.
01:15:13I hope so.
01:15:14If you are the sole proprietor of tough bumps, like you mean, you need to be on time.
01:15:21Uh, yeah, I will try my best to be on time.
01:15:24It's just, you know, when you have people coming over to your house, it's hard to, it's
01:15:29hard to, it's hard to be like a good host and then be like, get out.
01:15:33You know what I mean?
01:15:34You know, I get that.
01:15:38It's a tough spot.
01:15:39But Mr. D, if Mr. D, if your people run a wrestling show, we'll extend an olive branch.
01:15:48You let us know on tough bumps, you send us a, like a flyer or something.
01:15:55We'll put their flyer up on our show and we'll talk about the card on our show.
01:16:02Get, get them some publicity.
01:16:04He does have my people used to run.
01:16:07So New York, New Jersey is an indie wrestling hotbed.
01:16:13Oh yeah.
01:16:14Yeah.
01:16:14Absolutely.
01:16:15Yeah.
01:16:16So who knows?
01:16:17There could be people popping up and we get it, you know, through Mr. D.
01:16:24Yeah, absolutely.
01:16:25It's funny how these things work, you know?
01:16:28I know.
01:16:28I know.
01:16:29We're not getting involved.
01:16:30And then he mentions a movie.
01:16:31Yes.
01:16:32We see her Cody Rhodes.
01:16:33Yeah, I'm one, I'm one of, I'm one of two on my wrestling shirt so far.
01:16:37Tomorrow I'm wearing my CM Punk shirt.
01:16:39That's probably not going to go very well, but we will see.
01:16:41I will be wearing Celtics gear because playoffs.
01:16:48Yeah.
01:16:48The Lakers are on right now, I believe.
01:16:51Oh, okay.
01:16:52But we won.
01:16:54Sweet.
01:16:55All right.
01:16:56Well, very good.
01:16:57I was moving to AEW, guys.
01:16:59Probably a smart move, actually.
01:17:01Yeah.
01:17:02All right.
01:17:03Well, very good.
