Argument / Mania postscript

has like a very the what's that one? Like Frankie Goes to Hollywood? Would relax? I did? I did expect to hear it in John Hughes film, Yeah, something like that playing in the background. But yeah, I use this for our YouTube outro, and uh, I love the vibe that it's got, So this one might be hanging around for a little while. I like it. I think this is the best one yet, so you know, hopefully we can use it. It's fine, Well, it's here, it's here for a little while. It's here to stay, man, So

how you doing. What's going on with you? I'm good, just getting ready, you know, getting my ducks in a row for this weekend. I'm gonna be going for four days. It's a long one, but Squared Circle expos coming up. So just trying to get everything ready before the trip on Thursday. And you know, I didn't realize when I booked it that it was Easter Sunday that I get

home late. Oh wow, yeah, that's right. Yeah. So uh, I'm gonna have to out tomorrow and get all the Easter candy and stuff and then make the basket before I leave and hide them because I won't be here when they wake up on a Sunday morning, so I have to have it already. Hubs is going to have to take pictures. Let me know what happened. That makes me sad. I like to I like to see them when they come down the steps. But you can hide

some eggs for Shane somewhere if you'd like. If you want to see somebody do an egg hunt somewhere for Shane. Why is that right? Aren't you gonna be out with Shane? You know the shame well him and Hack. There's a bunch of ECW people there, go andam Rhino like, we're all going to be there, So ECW egg hunt if you want the feel of Easter morning egg hunt. Yeah, we'll see what happens. It's going to be a busy weekend.

There's a lot going on besides the two signings that we have to do, so uh, just trying to mentally get prepared, That's what I'm doing. Yeah, it seems like it's a busy weekend. Good thing you don't have any pets too, because if you hit it in advance, those pets might find the goodies and go to town on a chocolate egg or two. No, no, pets were so allergic in this house. I would love, you know, some something, some some kind of non human to be here, but we just we all sneeze and it's not worth it.

So we just don't have any pets. Kids are enough, I think for now. For now, I don't I don't have to go into detail anymore about my cat. Yeah, yes, never thought i'd have it. But here we are, almost what seven months later, on the air with you while the kids are coming to me yarn? Do you have

any y yarn? That was so cute? Oh my gosh, Well it was quite the last week or so since we last recorded this show, we recorded a couple mini shows for our YouTube experience that we've been expanding, which is part of this new Eyes up Here expansion we've been doing on YouTube. If you haven't heard it, we've done some almost instant recordings that have been posted for like breaking news and huge wrestling stories, and we're gonna do some updates on during this broadcast that we're doing now.

But as we're recording this, it's like the WrestleMania Weekend hangover. Now, you were not in attendance for Wrestle Khan for those that didn't hear it, so you were on the other side of the country. Wrestle kN on the West coast, you're on the East coast. WrestleMania Weekend featured drama. It featured a lot of wrestling a lot, and it featured a sale that finally happened. So much wrestling for what seventy two hour period that where do we start. It

also featured a mustache, which we'll talk about. Oh, we're talking about the goddamn mustache. That mustache. I'm obsessed with the damn mustache. Oh, we got to start with the with the sale. We have to start with the sale, which I mean, you know, a lot of the tweets that I've seen. People were like, I'm glad it wasn't Disney, and I'm glad it wasn't the saudiest, So they seem to seem to be half and half from what I'm

reading some people. The biggest complaint I've seen about this sale, and we'll go into the details, but the biggest complaint by the fans is that they feel that the Peacock network is going to be done with and the prices of pay per views are going to go back to sixty dollars, which everybody is in an uproar about no one wants to pay sixty dollars to watch, you know,

a wrestling pay per view these days. And that was the biggest thing that I've seen out of this whole thing, is people are upset about spending money more money on the product possible. But I would also see maybe the classic version of the WWE twenty four to seven model come back versus the WWE network model of what we knew the pay per view or the premium live event, what we've been used to over the last five or six years that people have their instant pay per views.

I can see that going away because the endeavor conglomerate in the UFC. They love making handover fist money on that pay per view model that Vince McMahon is the one that made famous. So yeah, I could absolutely see that returning right Who knows it's again. It's like, I think new details are going to come out slowly, just what this you know, buy out entails. But I think we talked about it a little before. I think Vince McMahon is supposed to make nine point three billion or

nine point four billion on the sale. So he purchased it for one million dollars back in whatever date it was, and so it's a profit of nine point two billion. I'd say that's pretty smart business if you ask me. Now, A lot of people are upset because they're saying, well, it started with a McMahon, it should finish with a McMahon. It should be family owned, this, that and the other thing. But look at that money, look at the money, and he's what seventy seven Now, how much longer do you

think he could do something like this? And a lot of people are saying, well, they should have handed it down to the children. I don't know, maybe the kids don't want to be involved. Look at what happened to Shane. Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get to that. I mean, really, like, I don't know. I think it was a good business move on Vince's part. Yeah, you know, I certainly would have probably did the same thing, because then I could take those billions of dollars and just give them them

my kids and they don't have to work so hard. Yeah. I don't think Vince had confidence in them to run the business. That's why. Yeah, I think that's absolutely why I think he tried. I think that obviously, when Stephanie took over creative, there was an absolute drop in fan interests. You know, there was a drop in the creative direction of a lot of the stories. And that's kind of when the doldrums started of fans going away, and it was a lot of that Stephanie head of creative that

drove people out of watching wrestling. And he saw it. And that's when Shane also departed and wanted nothing to do with wrestling, and I think he said, well, you know what, this is where I'm just gonna be involved with it and I'm never leaving. And that's where his tyrannical rain went from being he was the the man to he was the man. He was not going anywhere, and that's where we got him up to this past summer where he was yeah, well I you know again

jumping the gun a little bit after WrestleMania. The raw, the Monday night raw afterwards is usually not the best show, you know, in recent years we've seen like they just I don't know, they dropped the ball on a lot of things. And again in reading what happened on Monday, learning that Vince McMahon, they're saying has creative control again and they were saying it was such a lackluster show.

Now I didn't see it, of course, you know, I didn't watch it, but the comments are just like he's back and it sucks and it's horrible and I don't want to watch it anymore and this that and the other thing. You know, could this be the downfall with him having the power again being you know, top dog and creative like what happened to him just leaving and not having to say we all knew that that was bs, you know. But if now, if he is the end all, say all end all, you know, what happens to all

those people that were rehired? We said, it before. Are they going to get fired again? Are they on their way out? Are they going to have a big meeting? Is there going to be another massive layoff? I don't know so yeah, but I'll will direct people to our video on the YouTube channel where we talk about the Bella Twins when they departed, and that was what did I say? Certain people that were not getting the same push that they were when Vince McMahon was in charge.

And I don't know if you saw how Raw ended last night, but Rock Lesner, oh, he destroyed Cody, destroyed Cody Roads or what I say. Under the Triple H regime, Brock Lesner was not looking so strong. And now obviously, you know a spoiler we'll talk about a little bit. Brock is obviously now going to be positioned to put Cody Roads over and make Cody Roads look triple as a big at star as he you know, was coming in. But Rock not looking great under the Triple H regime.

And if Vince is back in charge, Brock just looked like a gigantic mega heel with Vince with the pen in his hand. Again, are you saying, going back to your first comment, are you saying that if the Bella is held on for just maybe a month. Yeah, they could have emerged again. Well, I think that they would have been in better hands. I think they would have either a re signed because they were not going to be active. They were still going to be, you know,

not a television product. Still, I think they would have still been under the Legends deal, but they would have been utilized when returned for these Legends appearances or WrestleMania Weekend. I think under the Triple H regime they were not and had they held on for this extra month, they would have probably been maybe utilized. But this maybe is them not being as into the business as others are, right, you know, and we know it's weird. They don't need it,

but it's weird though. I mean, Breeze married to Brian Danielson. You gotta think Danielson's tapped in, So maybe she just doesn't care. I don't know. I feel like if they wanted to do something, aw would have been right there and they could have been on TV the next day. Yeah. So it just tells me that they are preoccupied with family and their forty two other business ventures that are out there. But this is this is huge and to me This is the right hands for this company to

be sold to. This is the best scenario if you are a wrestling fan. This is only going to and for me as a lapsed wrestling fan, make it a stronger product because they're gonna bring it. I feel they're gonna bring it back a little bit more to the traditional style of what we're used to because they're gonna have a greater influence. Here's a thought that I just had. Do you think there's gonna be any crossovers? Do you

the cross promotion? Do you do you feel like there might be a pay per view with WWE stars and UFC stars intertwined. Yes, you do. That could be something different that would draw people who might not watch the wrestling product then or judge UFC fans over because their favorite might be on a pay per view that has some wrestling personality. So it might be a way bring

those fans together. Endless amounts of crossover to include guys that you know haven't been around forever, the Ken Shamrocks of the world that have both sides of the lineage that can crossover. Obviously, Brock has both sides that can cross over, and all they need to do is be in the stands at a UFC show to cross over

and promote. I mean it is possibilities are endless, and this is to me, the best hands the WWE branding could be put in is UFC Lover, which is funny because I don't know if they were ever considered to be in the mix among the discussion. The only other purchaser I would have thought it would have made the most sense was Comcast NBC Universal because of the established relationship with the television rights. That's the only one that

I thought made the most sense. This is the other one that, now thinking about it makes the most sense right right. It's gonna be fun to see down the line like what they do. And I just hope, just for the sake of those people brought back, I just hope there's not releases coming up because it's gonna be terrible. It's really going to be terrible. You get your job back in like two months later, you're gone, Like that is just so bad, you know, Oh yeah, no, that's

gonna suck. But you don't know. I mean, maybe this budget is endless, or I hope maybe maybe there's folks that the management of Endeavor have an interest in that WWE didn't you never know. Yeah, well we'll see, we'll see how it plays out. But you know, the rich get richer, as they say, so good for you. But what a weekend again, you know, we talked about it. We recorded on Friday when the news broke that Vince

McMahon re signed. Technically, it was revealed that you know, he guess he came back in January when he was elected back as the chairman. But then it was he signed an official to your deal with WWE. Now where does that stand? That does Endeavor pick that up? Because he's officially you know, back as a whatever the hell title this is now that's the chairman of the board. I mean, does that mean he doesn't have like a contract that's standing with WWE is And now like I

have to be restructured to fit this new conglomerate. So Vince to me winning and this is very funny, and I know this doesn't this is like apples and oranges. Now, I saw this video of Tony Khan that was circling around and it was like Tony Khan doing this Like have you ever seen the hugging videos of him? Like where he's hugging the guys after the first confer he goes in for these really awkward hugs and he's like embracing them, but like he tucks his head into their

like shoulders like a child. Yeah, like a child hugging their dad or their mom. And I'm sitting there being like the super marks that think that this guy like saved the business like whatever. And Vince McMann just signed a twenty one billion dollars do whatever to conglomerate the two biggest fight products, some combat sport products in the world. Now it makes sense why WWE could be a betting product that we talked about last week. This makes a l of a lot of sense. Now, how does Tony

khan Wan up that? Because he was they have the money to do it, and they have these other ventures him and his father out there with other sports teams, and you know, we we know the record of what Tony Tony is dabbling in. How do we want up that to make ae W move up a little bit? Like, does Tony want to join forces with anyone? Does he want to give up power? I don't know, you know,

I don't think they're content on being number two. I think they have in their minds, they're striving for that top position, so this definitely puts a dent into that because this is huge. So I don't know, I gotta tell you it ain't creepy boys of yours. Okay, it ain't happening. I mean, as some of their stuff is very entertaining. Yeah, it's just it's not happening. Look, it's just good that there's a company out there that's big enough to house all these other wrestling personalities and give

them a steady income. So I applaud them for that. I am not dumping on aaw at all. They have a strong product, but is it strong enough to compete now with this conglomerate because this is this is like mega huge. So yeah, Tony's head's probably spinning. It's probably just like what do I do now? And if I were them, I'd stop with the shots at WWE. I would really now kind of really tone down the the uber spots where people are like breaking their necks getting bases.

Did you see that ladder spot? Oh my god, yes, oh my god. I had to watch it a couple of times. They said, what on earth possesses you to do something like this? God? Forbid you land a centimeter the wrong way. Your life is over. What are they thinking? Stop trying to get yourself over? Be safe. Jesus I cringed,

absolutely crazy. But you guys were the Blood and Guts company, right, I'm not saying Look, I'm not saying I'm guys gonna do some crazy stuff back then, Don't get me wrong, But this, like when he was at that top of the ladder, I was going, no, no no, no, no, no no. Somebody pushed the ladder. Somebody knockable, somebody do something, and holy crap, it took the place of when Sid's leg broke in the ring. If you saw there's an angle,

have you seen the opposite angle? So the one so the camera, the pay per view camera angle, it doesn't look as bad. Okay, a fan camera angle, got it? It makes the Sid one look like if you snapped a twig in your back. What injury did he sustain? Any injuries? I don't. I can't remember what the exact one is. But his leg looks like it's like you the leg. It's like it's basically like if you took a straw. Yeah, the straw like a zing And now he's out for how long, Jesus, I don't know how

long was Sid out for. I don't know for years I have it was out from like two thousand and one to like two thousand and three. It is still out. He's not even working. He just doesn't chill up. Sid. Basically, I don't know if Sid ever left his feet after that match. I'm not even care. That was terrible. I'm

not making light of that. It was. It was. It was the the guy I told you when e c W that I brought out and the first movie ever does it breaks his leg and I saw I was right there at ringside it just snapped, and I was just like, oh my god, it was the same thing that happened to Sid. It's terrible, you know, and it's scary.

But I mean, now that I'm older, I realized, like, your health is the most important thing, and doing all these crazy bumps, I thank god that, like myself and my colleagues, nothing worse happened, because it could have went all wrong a million times over. So I just feel like these these younger guys that are doing all these crazy spots is needed to take a step back and think about it before they do. It looks great, but

it's kind of dumb. Absolutely. Now. One standout of the weekend as it relates to the sale is these heard around the world. Let me ask you, was the cartoon Dudley do right when they used to tie the girl on the train tracks and there'd be the guy with the mustache and I know it was a little curled, but that's who He reminds me of the villain who used to tie the girl on the train tracks and the old cartoons. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes, I can forget your name at the moment. Yes, there's

a weird look. It's like a pencil mustache. Yes, I see. My first thought was Clyde crash Cop, who was a character on the original Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon. No snidely whiplash, Yes, do right, it's so And look, I'm not I don't like making fun of people's appearances because you know, it's it's not nice. Let's just put it like that. But it is so strange to see Vince McMahon with this pencil mustache out of nowhere that is part gray. By the way I'm looking at it right now,

it looks like it's a little gray. I wonder if he died it Oh, it on there. He also looks like Dick Dastardly if you remember him, Dick Dastardly and Muttley from the Wacky Racers. Oh Jesus, now, Barbara, okay, well that's another one his so his hair is super duper brown, to magine super duper dyed brown mustache. It looks like he died his eyebrows too. His eyebrows are dark too. It's just it. I don't know. It's a weird look, like is he trying to I guess he's

trying to look younger, but I don't. I don't know. It's it's weird he's looking younger, because remember the criticism was he was looking horrible. But he's an old man. He's gonna be seventy eight years old. And it's vice McMahon. I know. This is a guy who who remember the stories that if somebody if he sneezed, he thought it was a sign of weakness. Jesus. This is a guy that sleeps a minimal amount of time, you know, because

he doesn't want to waste time away from work. This is a guy that is obsessed with perfect This is Vince McMahon we're talking about here, So he went away for a certain amount of time. I mean to be honest with you. This picture of him from CNBC and the piece on the sale, he looks a thousand times better than he did the last time we saw him on TV. Now, there's probably caked on makeup and as you can see, his suit is pulled up above his

little turkey neck piece that's heading down right here. But he facially this guy looks ten years younger than the one we saw like a year ago. Well yeah, because he looked sickly. He looked like he was recovering from something or he was sick or something. And of course, you know, hair dye makes you look younger. I just told you before we went on. I just dyed my hair, and boy, it makes me look younger, So of course

it's going to make him look younger. I just I feel like he would look so much better without that mustache. The mustache is throwing me off. And I think the whole world is being thrown off by this mustache because I think the mustache is being talked about more than the endeavor. Bye, I really do. I just I don't know. I don't know who has that kind of mustache. Now. I shaved the top of my go tee down a little bit. I don't like it going all the way up to my nose. I shave it down a little bit.

But you know who's that looks like a little bit Michael Hayes. Really do you ever see Michael Hayes's beard? I know Michael Hayes, but I mean you Michael hay beard. I never really noticed that his beard is the top of his goateee is cut super low like that. So I wonder if Vince saw it all those years, was like, it looks really good. But I listen, Vince. Vince was always a good looking guy, nice, nice looking gentleman. I mean it wasn't you know, he wasn't a bad looking guy.

I just don't like the mustache. I don't know. It doesn't I don't know. It looks like somebody glued it to his face or something. It doesn't look like it belongs on his face. It's a little crooked. It's not perfect, No, it's not. It is lopsided. It definitely is lopsided. I don't know. Can you take the picture down? I don't want to look at it. Oh, I can absolutely take the picture down for sure. I don't like it. I'm sorry, mister McMahon, I just don't. I think he would look

a ton better if he didn't have it on it. Now, what would you do if they told you to go, you know, stuff your your bosoms in that guy's face. I think that would be creepier to put it in that guy's face, I think, Verion, Yeah, I'll oil up my boobs and I'll oil up your mustache with a little bit of oil on your Yes. Now, man, he does look younger, I will, I will say, but I don't know. I just don't like that mustache. It doesn't look great. And look the one side is lower than

the other side. What is going on? He has nine billion dollars. Now you think he'd have a straight mustache. You gotta think he's not even true it himself. He's got somebody trimming the mustache for him. Well, he needs to, you know, get a new mustache trimmer guy. Because this is a lopsided job. Two bad manscapes that one of our sponsors right now or else I would direct him to promo Code Francine. But they're not advertising with this Yeah, well then why are we even mentioning that great, get

out of here greatest wrestling mustaches? So in your career and your travels, you probably have seen a lot. I have a I have a pick for one of my favorites of all time. But what are some of your top wrestling mustaches of all times? It didn't magnum Ta have like a like a really good porn seventies porn mustache at one he was yeah, magnet a man. Yeah, he might have had the best, the best mustache I've ever seen in wrestling. He had a pretty good one. He had a pretty good one. Made me think of

seventies porn. Okay, yep, I got a good one too. That's the one I was going for that right there, there we go, that's the one. We had one of the best mustaches first of all. If it's like, even though Scott Hall had the cool aura of the nineties Razor Ramone and as NW Scott Hall, he had the best eighties looking physique with the hairy chest, I was

gonna say that is the body that I like. The way he is built perfect, absolutely perfect, very muscular, but not overly like like the body build their kind like I don't dig that like Scott Hall right there, perfect, absolutely perfect in my opinion about Jake, Jake's mustache, Jake's mustache pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, I'm looking at it. Pretty good. Hogan had a very like I didn't like

his mustache, but it stood out ampt weren't disgusting. Now we have to because I mean Vince probably has looked at these guys over the years and especially in the eighties, you know, where the mustache was very chic, and thought like, maybe I should do that, and now he finally can. And I mean comssion is hard, how about it. Look he saw Rick Rude in the eighties and he was like, I could probably grow that better than him. Stein Rick Steiner.

Look at his it's very very full well. Rick had really the Fu Manchu, you know, the classic full faced Fu Manchu big bully Busic had, like the nineteen thirties gangster style. Oh okay, I don't know, there's a there's a lot of them out there, but I think Magnum's was like probably one of the best ones that I've seen. Maybe Vince's go for the sumption slaughter. I was looking at starch until mustache as well, I don't know, how

do you get it that thin? I don't know. I don't like, like, if a man is going to have a mustache, I'd prefer it to be connected to like a beard. Okay. I don't like just a mustache on a guy. I like the full mustache beard combo. So Randy Orton has right here, Yeah, something like that, even fuller, even fuller than that on the chin. But I feel like maybe if Vince had a beard to go with it,

it would look a lot better. I just don't feel like that mustache is doing a many favors, all right, So top wrestling mustaches of all time, Scott Hall, Vince McMahon. Will you leave it at that? Okay, there you go. The pantheon of stashes. Those are the top tier and Magnum and Magnum Ta, Magni Ta, yes, because obviously, again, if you Magni Pi Magnum Ta can be linked for that's a pretty good company. I love the feeling of

First of all, say, the set was elaborate. Yes, what a gorgeous, gorgeous set they had this year. And I know it was Hollywood and they went all out for this, but my god, just the rampway just every like everything just looked so beautiful to me. It was such a

million billion dollars set up looked great. I saw a lot of pictures I read, uh, you know, wins losses, who went over this, that and the other thing. The one thing I did watch was Shane McMahon because, first of all, Shane McMahon is my favorite. McMahon we all know that. And he's even though he's not technically a wrestler so to speak, He's always been my favorite wrestler because I loved him so much, and that's why I was heartbroken when he got in the ring and did

his little whoopie doo. And I don't he stepped wrong or something that something came down wrong. I mean, he hardly did anything and just catastrophe. He got a lot of air. I think that was the thing. I think he came down hard. He got a lot of air. He came down hard, and I don't know he so officially Torres squad. So it's the same exact injury that Vince had at the Royal Rumbold in two thousand and five.

I'm oddly enough. So I think he came down hard and whatever that pivot was that he tried to do, yeah, I saw that. That's where he lost it something and that's where disaster took place. Now I was watching it live and because I was interested in the segment, because I so full disclosure, I don't like Pat McAfee. I don't like the character. So I saw the night before, so I was wondering what they were going to do

the next night. I almost thought they were going to bring him back out just to get the pop again and do the same exact segment. So I was wondering where they were going to go. I thought they were actually gonna go with Stone Cold Steve Austin. To be honest with you, I thought that was where they were going. So when it was Shane, I was like, Okay, we got our McMahon on the show. It's curious how it was going to go down. And uh I was watching

it and I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I'm wondering how much longer that match was supposed to go because and and Kudo's to Snoop Dogg for not really being in the business and being a worker, because he was right there and realized what happened. And I don't know if somebody gave him an iggy, I don't know what happened, but he was right there to get that pin and finish that match. So good on him, you know, because some people would have been like, oh my god,

what do I do? And he knews. He was good. He had more poise I think than the Miz during that segment because the Miz if you. They kept the camera on the Miz, and the Miz was continuing to like juke a little bit, and you know, because he didn't know what was going on. Yeah, and I got to think that Snoop must have had an earpiece because they I think they were feeding snooplind to say on

the mic. He would say stupid sound bites. So Miz did all the talking, but Snoop would be like, I love la or this is the best, like he spoke three words at a time. So Snoop and I was watching. There was a referee on the outside, but I don't know if she had enough time to give him that much destruction. I was so impressed with how fast he got up there, and I mean the punch was not good, but mis went down. No, he's not the but the second punch I think was a little stiffer. I thought

Miz even had a little bloody lip. But then the people's elbow was like a legit elbow. Yeah, that was a drop, I thought. And then Triple H gave him the same kind of kudos that you just did that. Triple H said that some of the seasoned professionals in the business might panic under the pressure of WrestleMania that Snoop did not think about how many concerts that he's done in front of that many people would so impressed with Snoop Dogg during Do you think it was the

weed that calmed him down and just let oh? I'm sure he was probably very well medicated, But now that was incredible how he was kidding. But yeah, absolutely, that's what I'm saying for not you know, coming up in this business and being a worker and being taught. He was right there to bring it home and he saved it, you know, he really saved it. But I was just wondering, like, excuse me, how much farther Shane and Miz would have went, like if they had something like you know, five minutes

worked out or whatever. Like it's it's really a shame when stuff like this happens. And would we have seen more of Shane on television? Was this him coming back? Was this a one night deal? Like? I think one night because him and Miss had him and Miss had a very elaborate storyline like two years ago. Yeah, I think this was just a one night thing, like with McAfee because he's off doing his football stuff. I think that was one night just whatever. And last night with

Shane it was a one night whatever. But the other thing too that I found very interesting. And I know Vince loved the celebrities WrestleMania all those years. This was very celebrity heavy, like almost too much. And I think the I watched the Logan Paul Seth Rolin match on the first night. It was okay, but I think people are like way overblowing how good it was. I think the matches that had like, to me, the best match

of the weekend was the Raymisterio Dominic match. Hands down, the emotion of the story, how well it was executed with the family involved. I oh my god, please check that out if you want to see a good match with just all the emotion with his wife on the outside and the daughter involved. Oh my gosh, so well done. But the Logan Paul stuff, I mean, yeah, he's very athletic, yes,

but I just it was too much. The announcers every they made, every match was basically positioned as, oh, my god, this is the greatest match of the of the night. Every match was my god, we have to scream our heads off, and it gets to be too much. And you know how like the the euphemism of everything but the kitchen sink, right, right, right right, Okay, every match had the kitchen sink in it. So that's why I think everybody loved the main event on Sunday Night of

Roman and Cody because it didn't. Yeah. I know a lot of people were upset that Cody lost. Oh I love it. I thought it was great. Yeah, a lot of people online were upset that that he lost. But I feel like, if you're smart, you knew he was going to take that out. It was people were really pissed off the match that I and again I didn't see it, but the match that everybody was losing their mind over on Twitter was that Free Way What was it? Gunther and Seamus and Drew they were saying that was

off the chart, the best thing they've ever seen. It's okay, I watched it. IM sorry it was okay. You're the first person to say okay, I especially the boys tweeting, Yeah, it was because I was. I was a real time. I was on you know, I was on my phone. I wasn't watching it, but I was seeing what was going on. Every single person that is in the business was putting this over as the best thing. They worked so hard. They did. They did, and it should have

been the main event of Night one. It shouldn't have been sandwich in the middle of that wrestleman. It's not their fault, yeah, I know, but it was. It was a good match. It wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen. The first person that has said that, because everybody else said how stellar it was. So I was watching it. I was doing I was doing my my I was watching it. I was like, oh, this is a good match. I was not over. I was not blown away, like wow,

but everybody out that's all I've seen. But didn't blow me away, Okay, it didn't. It was hard hitting. You can see how stiff it was. I mean, there's three big, bulky dudes. That that's who I like. That's the kind of wrestler. I want to watch it. Just I it. Maybe if it took one of them out, I don't love three ways like that. If it took one of them out and it was that match, I would have been a little bit more invested. But it was too many bodies being thrown around. But they did work their

asses off. It was a great match. It wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen. Interesting? Okay, well, if you're if you're watching this now or listening to us, leave a comment below. Let us know what you feel was the greatest match, either one, you know, Night one or Night two. Because I'm curious to see I know what I read. When I'm curious to see what everybody thinks, you know, I'll give you another good one was John

Cena and Austin Theory loved it. Love John Cena. You want to talk about a guy that gives back to the industry, the guy who's on an HBO series that literally does it need to even show up to a pay per view ever again for the rest of his life. But takes lays down for the three in the opening match of Night one of WrestleMania to help this kid Theory get over. And the most clever finish of the weekend I thought was that that first match just made the kid look like a million bucks. That to me

was the best finish of the weekend. John gets the business. He understands. You know that he's not a full timer anymore. So that's what a good VET does. If you go back, you're gonna put over the younger talent, you know, and he did that with grace. And I've said this about John Cena for years and I've only met the guy once and didn't really have a big conversation with him. But as much hate as he gets out there, and I don't understand that why everybody hates the guy so much.

He's just playing the role that was given to him. I always felt like, overall he was such a well rounded performer because he's an entertainer. You know, he's a good worker obviously, but he's an entertainer and he's proven that by the crossover with becoming a mainstream actor now,

you know. So for him to come back and do something like that, like you said, doesn't need to but it was the right thing to do and it was so good for business, and I respect him a lot, Like I don't understand why he gets so much hate from the fans. I know, you could like who you want, you could hate who you want, that whatever, But man, if you go back and watch his stuff, super talented, Yeah, really shifted a little bit. I think there's a little

bit more respect for him over the years. They think that crowd has started to dissipate a little bit. But I was so impressed with that that he didn't need to do that. But he specifically came back. He put this guy over and made him look great. And that's what I was saying about earlier about Brock. Brock. He squashed that big guy Omas at Wrestlevania that I thought was awesome. He got him up, he sold his back, They sold the back, slammed him a bunch of times.

Olmos was planting him in the mat, so he was the teas was trying to get him up in the F five. He kept I can't do it. Finally got him up, dropped him with one, one, two, three. So Brock is a huge babyface. He comes out on raw teasing he's gonna team with Cody as his partner against Roman and Solo of the Bloodline, and then as the match is going to start, he just picks up Cody F Five's crowds booing the shit out of him, turn turns to the crowd, gives him the double burd Yeah.

All I can say is I hope things uh go as plans for Cody. I hope because you know it could change in the blink of an eye. And if they continue to bury him without, you know, building him up again. Man, is this is this going to be a mistake for him? You know ya wwe again and giving up everything he had in aw like time. But I think that thing with the chair, you know, when he crushed the chair with the sledgehammer, a sledge hammer, you think, I hope not for his sake. I hope not.

Because the fans are behind them over you love them. But but then again, we've seen people over and get buried and there's no rhyme or reason to it. So I just I just hope they don't do it to him because you never know. Huge reaction that Mania, huge reaction on the intro and at the main event. Yeah, he's he's ready. They're poised to make him that big star.

But I think Brox and put him over, I think, and then they're gonna build him up again for Roman because you know what's funny, It's like they brought him back to the Rumble. Everybody knew he was gonna win the Rumble. So it's kind of like, where's the drama in that he makes his way to Mania, they do the whole finish the story thing. Whatever, where's the drama? Right? So now the drama. Is he lost? He didn't finished the story because the story was kind of just handed

to well, yeah, here's the story. Now the story is gonna be can he defeat him? And I also think they want that round number of Roman reigns has been champion for a thousand days, so okay, well, I don't know, we'll see what happened, but overall, I think a very successful without question. Yeah, all right, Well, I got one more for you before we we dip, because this one

is if we did. This one's been on the tip of our collective tongues for the last couple of days because it seems like, uh, we have definitely had a lot of conversation going on around it, uh, starting to pick up sources, starting to get a little scuttle, but surrounding it, some updates surrounding the Giselle Shaw Rick Steiner situation. So we recorded, uh when was that Saturday? More? Yeah, the breaking news at the Sirens and the news room behind us went off, you know, the Walter cronkite of

eyes up here. We had to run down and get recording. It was hot, and we and and then it kind of was Wrestlmania. I guess got involved and really hasn't been that much. Gam Miller came out and said she was she was a witness to the incident. I can't remember the guy's name, the referee, Spence, something Spencer, David Spencer, I don't know, I don't want to get his name wrong, but something Spencer witnessed it as well. Those have been

the two witnesses that came out to say it. There's still a large clamoring for video footage in not only our comments, but this is also the social media comments as well. Wressel Khan band Rick Steiner from Future Wressel Khan's also removed him from the building for the rest of the wrestl Khan weekend. It was a lot of murmurs going on. I had people who were texting me from Wressel Khan, who were vendors, who were guests, people that I know from obviously my side of the industry.

So there was a lot of discussion going on as a lot of Wressel Khan ended up becoming a very buzz worthy event in itself, but again WrestleMania took center stage for the remainder of the weekend. What have you seen with this Giselle Shaw Rick Steiner story since we last met, I, you know, not too much. Oh, I'm sorry, Fonsie just called me. Sorry. I felt I haven't seen too much. I mean, we put up the YouTube video,

which is doing pretty good. You know, people are listening to it and people are dropping comments, and that's what I was hoping for. I was hoping that, you know, somebody that was there maybe saw something or But then again, can you really believe some people they might You could write anything down even if you weren't there. Well, I don't, you know, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe. But I'm just reading what people are leaving. And there was one person who said they saw it.

They were there and they saw it, so I you know, And and it was basically the same thing. Giselle was upset, Rick was screaming at her, and that was pretty much what the guy said. I haven't heard again anything from Rick. There's been no comment on the Steiner side of things, so I, you know, as far as an update, I don't think there is one unless you've heard something that you haven't told me. Say. When you do stuff like this, I want to paunch you on the face. I literally

want to knock you out. What if you know something, why would you not tell me? I didn't say anything. I just like that. We're making that stupid face you make when you know something but you won't tell me. Well, I just said I was texting people that I know from the autograph industry that are in attendance at restaurant, as well as people that are there. I've heard, and you know something, therefore you should tell me. I am, okay. Here's what I can. I cannot say what I did.

Here's what I cannot say. What I've explicitly heard. But there is something that has been not released publicly that maybe coming out that could add to the story. I just can't say it. You can't say it publicly, but you could tell your friend who keeps things for you and doesn't repeat anything. And this is why you're not my friend, you're my co host. I'll tell you is not my friend. He is just my colleague. And that is that. How about that there is a red light blinking.

I don't get invited to his parties, and he keeps a very important information that that he knows and he doesn't tell me. But what about this about you are. You are not a part of the triple threat. You need to put your hands down and you need to stop so now. And you know, maybe maybe I'll get a new co host. Maybe I'll get a co host who trusts me enough to keep prevy information silent. And you know, because I don't say any thing to anybody. And you should know this by now, after it was

four years. Yes, but then you'll come on on our show and drop this and make me look like a schmuck. No, I wouldn't know. I'd make you look like a schmug if I said that there's a story that hasn't hit the sheets completely from wrestle Khan that I know that I can't say on the I got I got sources. People were texting me. You're so important in the business. You are so important, and I can't compete with that.

Even though people in the comments can't learn my name by listening to the show, your name, no one cares. They're here from me, not you, but that three or thick skull. All right, you keep your information. That's fine. Next time I find out something important, I'm not telling you. How about that? How about that? That's not fair. It's totally fair. But obviously, can you see I keep it to the vest, not telling you I keep it close

to the vest. I'm not I'm not stooge. Oh my god, very early that you got to I'm so glad this was one of the last things you brought up, because you have brought my mood down and I don't even want to look at your face with your stupid mustache. How about that? First of all, I have a goateea. I have been called a typical nineties douchebag with the win. Are you are a typical nineties douchebag? Somebody? Three? How about that? Somebody called me U I said, I have

American chopper. Uh, good go You're the worst. You're the worst. You're the worst. But regardless, with the video we put up the other day, you know, there was a lot of comments saying, yes, people were in attendance, people saw what happened. There was a lot of tension. There's a lot of people who still want to see what transpired. I don't think at this point we're going to see any footage, but the clock is still ticking for comments.

And nobody with the last name Rex Steiner, Steiner or Breaker has said anything, and I don't think at this point we're gonna hear anything. Yeah, And I just wish that people would have listened before they commented on the video. I just really wish that they would have listened beyond like the seven minute mark, because it was it was like a I don't know, a thirty minute video. I know it went long. This one was a long one,

but there was a lot to talk about. And you know, people who are bad mouthing me were saying that, you know, just my opinion's wrong. There's is right. It's it's just like I said earlier, like everybody has an opinion. You could say whatever, you can think whatever you want. It's when you say it it gets you in trouble. You know, like brick Steiner's allowed to think whatever he wants, as I am, as you are, as anybody is. But my point being, don't bully people's that's a That was what

I was trying to hit home with. Do not bully people. It's not nice. It's not right. If that was your kid walking by and somebody did that to your child, or your wife or your husband, you know you would look at it differently. And I'm not saying I agree with, you know, the gizelle and her lifestyle choices. I'm not saying I agree with the way Rick Steiner thinks. That's not what I'm saying. All I said was you could

believe whatever you want to believe. You have your beliefs, and that's fine, but just keep them to yourself and don't bully people because it's not nice. It's not the right thing to do. That was the point I was trying to make and hit home with. But no nobody listened farther far enough in the video, and I was getting a little bit of well, she's a man, and she's this, and he's this, and but you know, how

could you say she it's a he? And people were hollering at me, and I was just like, bro, calm down, everybody, calm down. You know, I got admonished from my use of the F word. You you you twelve times with the F word. I mean, really, in this day and age, there is so many things out there that my god, if somebody says the wrong thing, you get canceled. You're not PC. You know, people hate you. The only message I'm trying to spread is just don't be a bully.

Don't be an idiot. Just whatever you think, you're allowed to think it, just keep it to yourself. That's all I was trying to say the world would be a much better place if people just shut their mouths, and that, my friend, Oh your case the world will be a better place with me is if you told me what was going on instead of shutting your mouth. I digress. Did you wait like five minutes? I digress, I was dealing with a laundry issue earlier. Oh please, I'm so

sick of it. Get over yourself. One out there who knows how to edit and would be a good co host drop me a line at Oh jeez, you might have that. You might have just opened Pandora. But let me know if you want to collab, because I might be getting rid of this chadster fellow. You might get some people who might be able to come and help you. Maybe.
