4/5, Hour 2: Wrestlemania 35 Preview, Picks and More

Network has become best Friends. Fantasy best Friends Forever. Our number two Fantasy best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports for Radio Network. Franks Staffle Gregg Susman will be joined my Gannie Staffle in a few moments to help us preview wrestle Mania five, well as all the other wrestling events going on this weekend. Any other baseball that's Frank, You want to get to you before we hit in the wrestling, No, I think

we hit it. I think we hit a lot. Regarding the waiver wire, we went a little bit deeper there towards the end. Uh. We're getting a lot of lineups here. We have a lot of day baseball today, which I'm very excited about. Actually we have we have four day games. We have the first one starting at two ten. I'm trying to see if there's anything lineup related that stands

out to me. Yonder Alonzo in the lineup against lefty u say Cakuchi, but batting all the way down at seven, Beef Castio batting clean up, So that stands out to me. Your boy Chris Taylor in the lineup once again against the lefty Tyler Anderson. Anything else here for the Rockies, Garrett Hansen batting seventh, as well, Padres framirayus in the lineup batting clean up. There is no Hunter Rentfrow today. Francisco Mahia in the lineup for a day game for

the Pod Ray is going up against Jack Flaherty. That's the Cardinals home opener. Fulton Wong also in the line up, still against the lefty, batting eight. And let's see here Stephen Dugger leading off the Giants, Kevin Polar making his debut. And guess what, Greg Bruce Bochy lied to us. What do you mean as if a manager would ever lie to us? Oh my god, because the other day he said Steven Dugger is gonna be our starting center fielder

Kevin Plar will be playing right field. Well today they are swapped, so I imagine that will be the case, and that's what it should have been all along. Kevin Polar adding seventh in his debut playing center field. Stephen Ugger leading off and playing right field. My boy, Austin Meadows leading off once again. Yandy Diaz back in the lineup after he left the other day with a what leg injury? I think it was an ankle thing actually, so he's batting fifth. Brandon Low clean up? My man? Wow,

Brandon Low? Actually? Uh? Anything else here now? Reds a standard Winker leading off, Adam Fraser leading off once again. There you go. Some line up stuff, Greggy Um, nothing crazy though, those I think those are probably the biggest takeaways for me here from some of the early game lineups. All right, there you go. Great on a scale of one to uh excited like stone called bashing beards together and pouring them all over your face? How excited are

you for this weekend of wrestling, specifically WrestleMania. Have they done a good job? All right? Well, I guess that's that's all you need to know. It's not the best job I've ever seen, not the best it. Correct me if I'm wrong. Greg. It seems like you've kind of fallen off the love of wrestling the past couple of years. Is that true. I don't think so. I don't think. I feel like when I met you five six years ago,

you were much more into it. Admittedly so was I. I just think you were waring too when you met me. I don't think my love or or just love has changed anyway. I think I'm still into what I've always been into, which is kind of the real story behind the story. I'm always much more into that than anything else. Um, I've always been into. Like I still DVR Ron SmackDown. I watch it. I could literally watch back Down in ten minutes. I watched Ron a half hour. Um, I

think it's the only way to watch it. I can't do it. I still get excited for certain things, like for WrestleMania, Like I'm excited that the women remain inventing like they deserve it. That is the most over um story on the card, and the most over story of the card deserves the main of WrestleMania, And to me, it's clearly a set. Charlotte's in it. And let people

about that with your brother. Um, but you know, I'm really excited for that match, is right the prospectus the most over wrestler in come to right now, Yes, she's and she deserves it. And then definitely I'm excited now. That story never made any sense. And again I'll talk to your brother about a lot. I think that's my problem is that I think they had a direction of

WrestleMania and it's changed too many times. It sounds a lot like w w E, but the difference is in this scenario that it changed because they wanted to give us service to their fans rather than a disservice, and I think that includes Becky Lynch. Like Becky Lynch was supposed to be the mint event Usto Mania, it was supposed to be Charlotte versus Rhonda Rousi, and it changed when the fans got behind Becky Lynch. So I give

ww A credit for that. Now they wanted Charlotte in there because I think they think number one she deserves to be number two. She helps produce some of the best matches in Women's wrestling ww A history, and the whole way they got there was on a straight line, and it didn't work. I think the main event for the World champ for the World ww E Championship, which is Kobe kingson Daniel Bryant, that wasn't supposed to happen.

It was supposed to be Daniel Bryan versus Kevin Owens, and because it was Kofi, they've kind of gone on this wavy line. It didn't really make sense how they got here. The only thing that kind of made sense was Seth Rollins facing Brock Lesner, but even that kind of had a way because you had Roman come back when he wasn't supposed to come back for a while, and they had a whole shield thing and kind of never made sense that Brock and Seth are like, oh,

they really eat each other. You didn't. You didn't really feel that, or you didn't necessarily see that. So I think ultimately that didn't really work out straight. And everything else on the card outside a couple of other matches, really we're thrown together. And I think that's kind of why my anticipation isn't necessarily where it usually is, because I'm excited for some of the matches. I'm excited for

people getting opportunities. Other than that, it just feels like a mish mosh and I'm excited to watch because I always watch it, but I had no interest in going this year. It's way way, way too long for me to time the show start five? Is it five? I feel like it's earlier. It's not earlier than that pre show starts at five. Traditionally the shift to minnight ish. Last year went past midnight. So that's seven plus hours

of wrestling any game time. You know, you get New Japan the night before, and you get the Hall of Fame the night before, and you get any tea on Friday, and it's it's a lot of wrestling to consume. I've seen people that speculate that over the next coming years will make wrestle Manania a two day event. So I've seen that, like start Saturday. Whatever. I've seen that. I

think there's some greetings to that to doing that. Um. Unfortunately, though, the question because what happens to the Hall of Fame, what happens to n XT and where you gotta put these things? But a two day event of wrestlement is really interesting. Can they Would it be that crazy if they did the Hall of Fame earlier on Saturday? No, it wouldn't. But three o'clock. Are you packing a stadium with eighty thousand or whatever the made up number is going to be two nights in a row? I don't know.

I think Well for WrestleMania it's different though, because people come from all over the world. Right, what you're gonna be here no matter what what are you? They're probably here for the entire I agree, But what do you what are you going to charge for that to pack of stadium for eighty thousand people two nights in a row? Well, why would you change? Would? I guess you do have to change the prices, right, of course you do, because you're not getting rents out the main the rent out

of football stadium. They have it right now because they've set up a stage and stuff for Mania. But like maybe they do the pre show stuff at like Barclays or MSG. They make a local arena and then the next day to do okay, the main card whatever, like maybe one hour of preview whatever, get everyone hyped up for it, start the show at eight to midnight, WrestleMania whatever. Yeah, I mean I think that if you're a customer, you're going to WrestleMania, you want to go to the who

wants to the pretty show? You don't go to. Johnny's here in studio, So I guess we'll find out, you know, if he's going to the pre show. I know he's gonna be there. Johnny, come over here below the camera now. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no you walk right, no walk in front of the camera. He walked right in front of the camera. Everything we told you, don't everything that you were did? You did? Your Mike's on, so be careful.

We're joined now by Frank's little brother, bigger brother, big little brother, something like that. Johnny Stample. What's up? Johnny? Going on? Guys? Here's Johnny and when? And we did not we did not hurt that. We did not plan that. And you see Johnny is wearing his deck down in his cane versus Undertaker. I could hear that's as yours. Well. Yeah, but you know we're not talking about the Tigers anymore, guys. Spencer Turnabowl was the first hour we're not talking about wrestling. Um, Johnny,

how are you, man? I'm good? How are you? Johnny comes in every year it's a preview a wrestling I met with us, whether it's the Royal Rumbull or WrestleMania. You left work early these our third year doing this together, third year doing this together. So Frank asked me, and I'm gonna throw it to you now before you got here, freak, you asked me how excited I am for WrestleMania, and he goes, I feel like you were coming less of a wrestling fan since I've known you know that's not true.

I just think that my anticipation level isn't you know what it is for this particular WrestleMania. I'm interested in the main event. I think they've done a nice job building that up, although we'll talk about how it was not a straight line of any sort um. How excited are you as as the much hardcore, more hardcore wrestling fan of any of us? How excited are you for WrestleMania. I'm excited, but I see what you guys are saying. There are certain matches that I'm just like, they're cool,

but do I want to see them? And like I feel I feel like the way that they hyped up maybe this year was not done well at all. Yeah, Like storyline wise, a lot of things I feel like should have happened weeks ago, and I feel like kind of got to like the two week period before me and it's like, oh, this match is happening now, and it's like, oh, it should have been hyping this up

for the last four weeks, not two weeks. That's that was kind of how I felt that the Brock and Seth match in particular, that's the one match I really felt like I could have been doing for a while and they haven't. And then we'll talk about why, um coming up, Frank, do you wanna I think we should do this where since you're not really in the know, why don't you after the break kind of run down the car and we'll break it down and go that way.

There's like seven team matches and the ridiculous like that. So we'll start coming up out of the break before we get into the break, which comes about seven minutes from now tonight. Next here you going? What are you going through this weekend? Russamania and Monday Night Raw? All right? Very nice, very cool? Um, how can we're not going to next day? Uh? Those prices are disgusting. WrestleMania, how dode that's also disgusting? Where are you sitting three six.

He's got it all, he's got it ready to go. Specifically, there you go. You want to hang out with Johnny? Seat fourteen. The hand point with it, it's very funny. Oh yeah, fourteen. He praised a much more speencier than they were six years ago. Because I remember I was saying on the air yesterday, I spent two hundred bucks. I sound like a two hundred level. I could see you could see six years ago. And now he spent more than I did, and your seats are much worse.

But did you buy them from Ticketmaster when they went on sale or did you buy them from StubHub? I went on from seat geek, from from stuff. You know what, you gotta get in on the ticket Master man, like whenever they do the pre sale. That's why I bought my ticket Master. If you do that, then you'll you'll get I think you get a little bit better of your money's worth, you know what I'm saying, Greg, So happened?

I think you know what I've found interesting just talking already is what I enjoyed most about wrestling fans is that everyone watches for something different. You watch for the behind the scenes stuff. I watched purely for the wrestling. I don't really care much for the so proper stuff the drama. Like if it's if it's going well and if it's a story that's told well, then sure I'm into it. Like I love the when Becky Lynch got busted open and she like ran through the crowd. That

was awesome. That that was really cool. But I mean, like I want to see awesome matches. I want to see acrobatics. I want to see you know, I want to see guys going back and forth. I want to see long matches. I want to see hardcore blood. I want to see for the matches, and you know, you like the behind the scenes more and I do some people who only watch it for like the story and to be entertained, and they don't really care much about

the matches. A lot of people ask forward the matches, and I think that's to me, what's most cool about wrestling and the fans in general is that you're gonna ask ten different people and get ten different answers what they like about. I think that's you. I think John and I line up pretty well with why we both like. I mean, he's like getting way more into it. That I am at this point in our lives, probably cause you're a little younger than me. Um, but I think

a lot younger, like half your age. Um. But I think that we kind of see it very very similarly. So there's that UM for you Innumania at x T tonight. Are you excited for that? Like? Yeah, I mean I'm hosting it at my house. Yeah, he's coming by an XTA party at Frankie kind Yeah, great, come through. I'm through. Let's travel home together. You travel to my house here, my dad now big Robbie sauce. We're actually starting later than usually. I'm starting to nine under ten dinners eight

m M bunnets. Buddy might gets how to work at eight and he's not gonna get to me after nine. It was what is King of Beers going out? That's why I was able to host it. You for food pizza it Friday. There's no in regular We're getting a Silian one of each beers everything ado what. I love it. I'm loving you kind of hesitate when you said your side for tonight. There's probably like one or two matches

I'm not excited for. Like, I don't understand why the war Raiders are fighting Ricochet and Alistair when they're they're like on the main roster, and they're they're also fighting for the SmackDown tacting titles this Sunday, so well, I think it's kind of like their Goodbye, right, I guess

their Takeover Goodbye. Basically, I think it would have been better if it was war Raiders versus Fishing O'Reilly, especially since we've seen that already though No, but I'm just saying, especially since Adam Cole is in the main event for the title, so I think it would have been cool they all got exactly at the end of the night have well, I think it's it's interesting and so we was talk about to take Over now because it was obviously supposed to be Guardiano and Chapa kind of the

three Year Odyssey ends with Guardiano beating Chapa for the title. That was clearly where this was going um and Cole was supposed to be in the North American Championship as supposed to be a triple threat match between Matt Riddle and Velveteen dream Well, they could have done kind of along Year Lives. I think they might do this maybe at the next Takeover if Cole does win the title,

which I think is possible. They could have the war Raiders against Fishing o'reiley and have Roddy entered that North American title scene, and they all have the belts holding out all the championships. I think I think that's something we could see in the future tonight, right, I think so? Personally, I think so. I don't know why. I didn't mean it in the sense that it's not like he needs it, you know, he doesn't have to win, but I meant

it as in, like, okay, like he should be the champion. No, I mean so, like I said this, this whole plan was for Johnny Gargano to win the title tonight. That was the plan, lands change. I just don't know, like how many times could you paint Johnny as a loser before everyone just knows that this guy is a loser. That's the thing, Like he's the lovable loser. But it's all kind of come full circle for him to win

now too, So it wasn't the flip flop. The story was being told is that like he was such a loser that he could only win if he kind of embrace this like the evil side, which is like trusting Champa he lost with Champa because he well he purposely lost. Your fake got hurt, and then he like beat up Champa after the mass saying like he's gonna be himself and he's gonna win. He's gonna be the good guy again.

It was all part of this high level storytelling and all honest day, which is rare for wrestling, and it was all leading up to this good overcoming evil Gargano being in Champa. That was it. And now if he loses again to Adam Cole, even if the undisputed ever in their fears, it's like, all right, he lost again. Do you really need to see Gargano fight for the title next Takeover again? No? I don't think there's any story there. I think Gargano has to win. Are you

tired of Gargano vers Champa? Like if it was gonna happen again, I feel like the past eight takeovers each other. I think I've seen enough Gargano Champa like a good couple of years. It's like it's like, yeah, the same thing, Like I was, I was done with that for a while. I wasn't I love it because shut him up a little bit for a while, and then you know, a couple of you. Now you bring it back, and I think what will happen is what you happen. Does come back.

We'llcome back as a tag team, probably on the main roster, and that'll be yet we'll finish breaking out n x T get right in the wrestle Menia.

What's gonna open the show? I don't know. It was a tough question, that was really tough. Out of the choices, I was torn between the Sea title and other. So I'm leading towards a SmackDown title or other. I feel like they want to start with a bang. So the reason they don't start that you got in your kind outside because you I think you wanted a little darker for the demon. This is true, This is true. They could start with a copy and Bran. That sucks, I

don't think. So there's a lot more choices. If it's other right now right, it could be like Randy and a J. It could be. It could be it could be the Mizzen shame. Well, that's what they say about Mania. If you're not if you're not last, you want to be first. Right, open up the show and the title was first last year too. I like the d AJ call that could that could definitely have because I actually think that they could have a really good match. I think that match is going to steal the show. I

think they could have a really good match. Ord angle will go on later on in the night. Uh school, this are did you actually very fun questions. So this is the Draft Kings thing that you're doing regarding WrestleMania, right, Greg, Yeah, they're the Draft Kings thing that your brother just talking about. I'm revealing it to the audience because I think we talked about it during the break. So oh yeah, So

this is basically a Draft Kings WrestleMania challenge. Were asking you like ten questions and they're not like the normal questions. I kind of cool and including like, all right, here's the normal one is like, well, Rondo Arousey retained the title, but all right, the outcome of the w Championship matchical we determined by pinfalls mission just qualification or count out. Mm hmm, pfull I agree. All right, Rock Listener retain

the Universal Championship. That was the toughest question. That's the question, right you don't I say, you say yes. That's a question where we're jumping to the end of the card and just giving our predictions already, Greg, all right, uh sorry, finishing finishing off the n X t um He's kind of know that. Next day, So, yeah, which match are you most pumped for tonight? And XC? Greg most pumped for Gargano. Uncle, it's gonna be really good. There's be awesome.

Riddles might be amazing. Walter and Pete Dunson to be sick velveteen dream something Dream the Dream Riddle match is gonna be good. But I'm just not a fan of Matt Riddle. The bro doesn't do anywhere here reminds me too much of Zach Ryder. Like, come on, Bro, I like Zach Ryder, but writer bite off right here better? Well? Yeah, he's like the better version of Rider. Yeah. Uh, don't be crapping on the Long Island. I z I love Zach Ryder. I was original Long Island as he watching

like your brother. Let's be honest. Okay, let's getting the wrestle man. Are you going we're not going to Frank tell the tomorrow. I'll right, he's got enough. He's gonna be a wrestle any all day and yeah he's gonna he's going to raw the next day too, So WrestleMania going on. Let's do it. Are you actually gonna be inside the building for the pre show, Johnny? Oh? Absolutely,

You're gonna spend a lot of money, but I'm sorry. Yeah, personally, I would probably just have someone bring a TV or something and watch the pre show from the outside and drink a bunch of much cheaper beer. Then I would go in maybe like towards the end of the pre show, What would you do? Greg, I don't That's why I would. I would go in it like you're gonna be spending twelve dollars a pop on a beer inside. Uh, MetLife,

I agree wholeheartedly. If I'm there for seven hours, I'm I'm at least drinking a beer per hour, So, oh my god, twelve times seven. I mean, I don't know if I'm doing all that. Now. This math is kind of out of my It's like eighty four bucks and people, what was your Uh So I looked up what it was in nine it was like eight thousand, like six something. I did eighty thousand, seven hundred and twelve. It's like eight thousand to four thousand to thirty eight. Okay, alright, cool,

that's fun. That's the made up number you're going with? Grey, Alright, that's gonna got many your card. Frank present the match. We'll break down the storyline if we're interested in worth alrighty, So I'm looking at the cruiserweight Championship that would be on the pre show, right moves. You don't want to do this, all right, Well, we don't have to go deep into it. I'll just give me. I'm just kidding Y versus Tony Nice. I'll say, Tony NIE's a local

duties for long. I'm gonna go with Buddy Murphy. Buddy Murphy. Sure, I'll go with Buddy Murphy as well. The women the Women's Battle Royal, Greg, So, is this just their version of the Andre the Giant Ball, the Young Battle La Battle roy One of the two, wasn't one of them a really bad like human? Why would they do that? So that back actually just begin the Women's Battle Royal. There's a moola that our oil? All right? Is there are there any storylines going into this one? Is there

anything that we need to know about? Yeah? So the basically storyline was supposed to be a Woman's championship match on the Car. We're supposed to be Oscar defending against both Mandy Rose and Sony Deville. Vince the literally hours before SmackDown a couple of weeks ago, said this is silly and just gave the SmackDown title to Charotte because he thought it'd be cool to have both titles in

the main event. So then there was no follow up on this past backdown about it, and then you kind of just said, all right, all the other women other than those three or in this Battle Royal and the tag team match or whatever most of the words in the Battle Royal, there's no real storyline going into it other than the Oscar and those two women. That's literally it, Donny anything to add to that pretty straightforward a right,

So who's your who's your guest? That's to who wins this women's Battle Royal and the kickoff show, just so she can have a win because they're just like not doing I'm gonna go with Oscar. Yeah, I'm gonna go with Oscar as well. Here we go. This is gonna be the night I'm gonna go with here. I'm gonna we said we were wrong, we were different. Can you guys give me like a multiple choice so I could at least have like, who are your top four to win this thing? We'll just give you the tops two.

Oscar is one other than who's your pick other than Oscar? Well, I'm actually looking at a prediction article and they have Lacy Evans as well. Could be she could be a good choice. Kind of randomly pushing her right, like, this is true, This is true. I didn't even think of her. She could be a good choice as well. Yeah, I see, you see I threw something out there. It's not a bad one. Not anyone else. Who's in the mix here? What about Alexa Blitz, No, no chance wrestling? What about

Nya Jacks, She's wrestling later. Oh, she's in the team. Okay, I'll say it's either Oscar, Lacy Evans, or Shana Basler. That's what I'll do. Shana Basil might be in this one. Who knows. Sure? They usually put something so you're both still going with Oscar. You're changing to Lacy Evans. Now I'm gonna go with Ostar Oscar. Okay, I will go with Shana Basiler. I kind of like that call. Remember one year, Hideo, what Tommy was in there? Yea, you

never know? Armbar? So let's can say the arm bar, the armbar, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal who won this thing last year? The mojo was two years That was two years ago. Sorry, I'm putting you guys on the spot here. Matt, Matt Hardy. One last was last year that Matt Hardy, who is now retired. He's he's in it. Yeah, he's back, but he's Hardy. Worries are back. Okay, well they're all in it. They're always back instead of being a tag team match, and they're

in this. It's very little sense, all right, Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Greg, what do we have here? Uh So, the only storyline going into this this is broun Stroman is feuding with Colin Jos and Michael j from SNL and I don't know who those people are, so they do weekend update on on SNL. They're a white guy and a black guy and Uhman is somewhat feuding with that. Those were the local competitors that he squashed on Monday Night. They yes, basically, um so that's

the only storyline, so I'll put bron Stroman win. Wow, Gregg going with all the talk here, Johnny, what do you have? I'm also gonna ca the bron strom Now the stores everything wrong because I want to be different than keep a tracking us is realistic though, Andy, Yeah, there's two predictions. One has braun Struman, one has and Okay, so I'll go with and drunk. I don't know wrestling.

I'm gonna look up some WrestleMania odds too. All right, the next match while you do that, the WrestleMania thirty five betting on. Hold on, I'm gonna give it to you. Second, we're on radio here here, I know, I know. I try to move along and see what we have here. Okay, is this really on the pre show the Raw tag team change? Probably yes? Oh gosh, well, all right, well that's not good. The Revival going up against your local competitors,

Zach Ryder and Kurt Hawkins ak the edge Heads. So this match was thrown together after this past Monday Night Raw and a there's always a few of these and backstage ben yet where it was kind of rumored for a while that this would be the match, but it wasn't built up in any way because the Revival we're just losing to Alistair Black and Ricochet a lot um. So basically, Kurt Hawkins doesn't want to match and like years and teamed up with this old buddy Jack Ryder.

They challenge the Revival. The Revival said yes, and here we are the Revival versus Hawkins Rider. The question is this Hawkins get the win in his hometown with Rider. Do they be the Revival, Johnny, they do, We're gonna see the streak end, so they don't. Oh wow, you guys have different opinions for something they don't. Well, that's great. I think they would be slightly more billed up if

he did, but probably not. I mean, you never know what them okay, um, I will go with if, well, the Revival should win this, right, he should, yes, But they randomly let Zach Ryder win the Intercontinental title, which is a probably years ago ever so, and he lost it the next day, So I can see something like that happening again. I guess I'll take Zach Ryder Kurt Hawkins. They win it and then probably lose it like a tomorrow or tomorrow very possible, very possible. Actually like that,

So I'll take those two. The edge Heads. Do they come out as the edge Heads SmackDown Tag Team Championship also on the pre show probably probably Gosh, this will be the USO's versus Ric Ciche and Alistair Black versus the Bar. We are the Bar versus Russef and Shinsky. Nakamora, Oh my guy, Lamary he's got a match. Let's get the title match to a precio tag team match. Nice, Why do you have to frame it like that? Give it the background everybody there. There is no storyline for

this match at all. These just the tag teams that are all on SmackDown other than the New Day randomly in Satitay and Hartburn Gallas. I just looked. I just looked up the betting odds. They have Gronkowski as the second best favorite to win the arm Bar. I said, I mentioned him. All right, Well, well back to the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, Johnny, what do you have because there's no story here. I think I'm gonna go with the US retaining. I agree. Really, come on, man, Kamra,

you guys don't have any faith, no negative um. All right, yeah, well, there's not really anyone else that I really like here. They're not gonna give it to Canna, say Alice Black. That would be dumb. Probably, I would say that would be Dollion's been done. I don't be dumb. The bar, they don't really need it, I'd say. I'd say the Ricochet and Alistair Black are probably the co favorites of

this match with the US. Actually the prediction I'm looking at has Usos or Ricochet and Alista Black is the backups to me, No, I don't really try to people. I'll take as well whatever curd Angle the farewell match, this is gonna be on the main card. Right, this is on the card. So it's kurd Angle take Angle

against Baron Corbon. So the story with this match, Frank and everybody listening is that Kurt Angle was now it's on a farewell tour which started out of him having some like good matches and then stopped where there an ant match and then he wouldn't have it. That happened several times. Um, there's a rumor that it was gonna be Baron Corbyn. Then the rumor was like they wouldn't actually do that, They'll pull them. They'll never actually make the last match of Card Angle be Baron Corbin and

it would probably be John Cena. And everyone's still chance for Sina and there's been no indication whatsoever that Sena would replace Baron Corbyan in this match. Now it's still possible. We'll see, but for now we'll assume it's anglo versus Corbyn. If it is Karn Angle win his his feral match, and actually no matter, I haven't Seena will lose. But if it's Corban, you're supposed to go out on your back technically, right, that's what they say about Baron corn

that's a Baron Corbyn. Is there any chance that Okay, while Baron Corbyn is coming out, like maybe before the match starts, like John Cena just comes out, speeds to crap at a Baron Corbyn and then they have their match together. Absolutely, hern Angle gave John Cena his first match of his career, and you could kind of play off that story. Certainly they should have built that up then a little bit if they were gonna do right exactly, So, I will say that Angle defeats Baron Corbyn. They don't

do that. I agree with that, but I will say if he faces John Cena, he loses. Said. I will also say that w W is keenly aware that everyone wants us to be Angle Cina, and there this entire WrestleMania season, as I'll get to a little bit later, has been giving the fans what they wanted. I'll just say that, but I predict it will be Angle over Corbyn. Johnny, what do you think does John does John Cena come out? Is it Corbin versus kurd Angle? Who do you think wins?

I'm torn here between two choices. So one of them I see Angle actually demolishing Corbin and the squash match, and then seen It comes out like this quick match and the scene it comes out and they have a match, and then I would say seen It wins. However, though I don't know. I feel like Corbin might beat the Angle if it's just it's like a real match. I don't know if I see Angle winning here, Well, you have to give us a prediction. I'm gonna go to Corbon. Yeah,

I think that's mistake. Alright, Well we we will. Surely we will find out. Have they built this up well or not? Really? I just explain, I'm sorry, I was looking at the odds. If I'm speaking perfectly honest, herd Angle minuses match the Miss versus Shane Meekman. So let's count anywhere, Greg, What do we have with this? This is one of the better built up matches actually, of

the Actually I saw this at the last last. This is one of the better built up matches on the show, only because it's been going on for a while the storyline is very dumb, but it's been built up very well in that all right, the miss, it doesn't matter when the Miss loses ever, but he couldn't compete in the Best of the World tournament back in Saudi Arabian and like October November, Shane McMahon took his place. Shane was still a face. U MS was a hell. Miss

begs Shane to be tag team partners. That turned missface. They won the tag team titles, then they lost the tag team titles, and then Shane blamed the Miss, and now they're fighting. That's the story. The other story going into it is that Mrs Daddy was never proud of him until Shane McMahon got there and now and now he doesn't know what to stay to his father. That's the other storyline. So it's a Miss versus Shane McMahon. Normally I always picked the wrestler over Shane, but as

I mentioned, Miss, losing matches like doesn't matter. With that reason, I'll take Shane McMahon. Oh, are you willing to throw it down a few shekels on that one, Greg, Because they have Shane McMahon at plus two eighty, I would have the Miss minus four hundred. That's my favorite bet plus two eighty at Shane mcmah. It's good bet. What do you think I'm gonna go with the miss? I don't go with them as well. You're going with the favorite. Do you like the way that they have kind of

told this story. I mean it's kind of like I don't really care about. To be honest, it's a match I don't want to see. I thought it was pretty predictable after the last pay per view, After after they lost a match, you knew someone was turning on someone to be the miss. Yeah, this is always a better heel in his face. This is true. She's taking the miss here. You're taking good odds. Those are good odds. I wouldn't bet this, but I I think the Miss is gonna win. I think if you're looking for it

on your dog. This is my favorite one of the night thus far. Especially odds pretty good. Let's eighty. All right, let's see here. Moving on. That's false. Count anywhere match you have any like you have high expectations for that match. No, it's false. Anywhere could do a stupid bump somewhere. Okay, Yeah, that's true. He's gonna do that jump across the ring or jump onto you and an announced table Women's Tag Team Championship that is Sasha, Becks and Bailey where the

champions going up against Phoenix and Italia. I had no idea she was back versus Nya Jacks and Tomina versus the Icons is a fatal four way. Yes, wow, Okay, what do you got here? Greg? So the breakdown here, it's just really very simple. The the champs defended last month against Naya and Tamina. They beat them. Uh. Then basically Beth is on commentary that led to Beth and Italian getting involved, and then the Iconics are on SmackDown like one of the only true women's tag teams in

w E. She's like, hey what about us? Which is which is true? Then the Iconics actually beat Sash and Bailey on an episode of SmackDown. Uh. Then they had a title shot which they obviously lost. Um. But the Iconics one of my favorite current acts actually on the show. They're hysterical. They do their job really really well. Because of that, the reward when a real WrestleMania match was right, Yeah, I would love for them to win. They're actually much better now than they were ever in n x T.

I think they're crushing it right now. Like I said, my one of my favorite acts on the show. I think Sash and Bailey ultimately retained, but I'm reading thro the Iconics. I'm gonna go with the Iconics on this. It's awesome. I do think they're gonna take it. I think favorite Bailey and yeah minus and they will say this, guys, there have been a lot of bad gimmicks and stuff throughout the history of wrestling. Obviously, um this team name for Sasha Banks and Charlotte Connection is the worst thing

I've ever seen in my life. Boss and Hug Connection. There's definitely been worse. That is god all terrible. You can't think of anything better than that. It's not terrible, it's very bad. It's like the Rock and Roll Connection. There minus three odds Greg the Iconics at plus four hundred, you could take the field against the favorites at plus two forty five. I'm taking I took Bailey and I'm just sorry about what are you doing. I'll think the Iconics as well because I want them to win, only

because I hate the name Boston Hug Connection. I'd take a break at the top of the card. It's up, naxt. We've got it all up, from the NFL to the NBA.

Next we have the United States Championship, which is Samoa, Joe versus Ray, Mysterio and Greggy. You have a theory on this one. Yeah.

So they had a weird match between Mysterio and Baron Corbyn last week where Corban injured his ankle. Not really, Um, some serios even on SmackDown and Joe did cut a promo I think after the show calling out MYSTERIOSI Mysterio will be find a compete at WrestleMania. There's been zero

builds in the match whatsoever. Um. There was a four way feud for a while with Andrade Ray, Our Truth and Joe and Store Joe won the US title and that was seemingly leading to Samoa Joe versus Cena, and then it kind of inexplicably got dropped out of nowhere and then they just said, all right, Mysterios gonna fa is Joe. But there were no follow up to that at all. I could see them just like not even just not doing anything with his match, like just not

having it, just skipping it. What happened to be better mass that doesn't happen, you probably get your money back. So, Johnny, what do you think Samoa Joe against Rama Sterio? Does that happen? Does John Cena like they're short on time for whatever reason, this is the match that goes away. There are a chance that John Cena just like replaces Rama Sterio somehow, and then they do this is the

second year in a row. There's a big rumor that would be Joe were sorry two years ago there's but Joe Sina was the one um and they pulled it and they changed it to the Sina miss to the Sena and his wife versus missing his wife thing. Um, Yeah, Johnny, what do you think? Uh? If Massira is out? I can see Joe like cutting a promo and then being like like, oh, like I'll have an open challenge or whatever, and then seen it comes out. But if that match happens,

I'd probably just say Samoa Joe over Mysterio. Yeah, I agree with that, and Samoa Joe here minus two sixty favorite. If it happens against Mysterio, I think he wins. If John Cena comes out and faces him, uh, John Cena is not losing. I don't think so. Coming up next, we have the Intercontinental Championship match. Greggy that it's Bobby lastly, the champ going up against the Demon Finn Balor. My question to you, has there ever been a bigger lock

for a win in WrestleMania history. Yes, there has, but this is also just just the lock of this WrestleMania. Yes, okay, yeah it is. It's a weird like they've advertised a demon in promos for this WrestleMania for a while. Seven kind of knew the demon was coming. Still, very strange time for him to bring it out, other than in the fact it's the wrestlemannya, Like, I get that part, but it's not like he needs to like find his

inner soul to like get over Boy. Lastly, he beat Bobby Lash like every week for like the last four weeks. So it doesn't really make any sense whatsoever from a storyline perspective. It's from a Merchant Guse perspective. Greg indeed balor of the Demon wins Um. I do want to note before right, that's the biggest favor on the card, before you continue on, I do want to know. I do want to know we can talk about John Cena. Now, John Cena was scheduled for MATCHIC. It's Lara Sullivan who

is going to debut from XT. He's not one of these like big dudes that would love UM, but he's having unfortunately, he has some issues, personal issues Lara Sullivan. Yeah, that has caused him not to debut yet, and he's kind of been dropped so that whole match was dropped. I think there's a good I think there's actually a very good chance we see him debut on Monday Night Raw, the day after WrestleMania. UM, but Lara Sullivan dealing with some stuff, which is why he and Sena around on

the card. Is he the biggest debut on Monday Night on Raw? Probably? Sorry, Johnny Johnny's gonna be there, So I guess I don't think you get anybody you have a guests to someone better who debuts on Monday night. I'm trying to think of people in n x T right now. Maybe the debut all I mean, they did like our Gan Ray debut. Maybe you get Sammy's aim back. Maybe say how about how about the Dudley Boys for the twelfth time, now employed elsewhere. Yeah, that that's right.

I'm actually gonna see him on Saturday night. He will. He's on the r OH card. Up next, we have a J. Style is going up against Randy Jorton. Gret you gotta tell me about this one, because I'm very intrigued. I love both of these wrestlers. So there are rumors of A J and Randy Orton finning WrestleMania for the past couple of years, and they've kind of held off, and now Orton and Styles haven't. Despite being on the same brand pretty exclusively the last couple of years, they've

only faced each other a few times. This is where those matches that does not feel overblown, and over the past couple of weeks they've actually done a really nice job with this match. And building it up. First, it was kind of thrown together, and then they've had the last couple of weeks of promos where they got personal

and kind of reached people like Johnny and myself. Randy Orton's mentioned Dixie Carter and ten A a couple of times, and this past week on SmackDown, AJ Style said yeah, I might have been wrestling then there, but you were in w E failing drug tests. They're like, oh, well that's like, well that's really cool. So I can see after this match, um, Kevin Owens kind of inserting himself in here, um because he kind of is obviously does not like a J Styles but takes offensive nothing in

the arm bar. Probably No, he's like he's gonna not even He's gonna be not good enough, better than the arm bar, but not good enough for the show type of thing. So I think you'll see Owen's in a backstage sketch of a Lexa Blissa. Um, you'll see him cut some promo somewhere. But uh, this is all too place on the Kevin Owen show on SmackDown. And instead of like Owen's kind of getting involved there, he just walked off, Like I said, I could see him getting

involved in this feud going forward. Um, but they've done a nice job building up a J versus Orton. I think a J gets the better of Orton here only because he already got the better of him on SmackDown. Um, I think a J wins. I think it would be a good matchdown. It's my sleeper pick of the night for match of the night. What do you think? I agreed that I this is gonna be match of the

night and I'm going with Randy Orton. I don't think a J because I I read that this match is gonna describer, is gonna continue afterwards, So I think Grandy's gonna take the win on at Wrismania. Who won the previous meeting between these two? But you said so they haven't remembered one on one in a while, but a J might have a manating illumination gym. It hasn't. They haven't really haven't had a one on one. I don't

want to atch you in a while. So it is worth mentioning that these besides the main event, these is the closest odds. So is this the hardest one to choose for you? Gregs? Outside of the main event? Well, I mean the Bronck Lives and the Rawlins match the main event is not harder to choose. Yeah, I meant, I meant the Rawlins and Lesser match. Um, I think the Kobe match is actually very tough to choose to because they have the odds here A J. Styles plus one ten and Randy or minus one fifties, so so

in the favorite. Yeah, pretty close here. And they've been kind of painting this up as like w w E Indies versus Indian Rights. That is actually a pretty cool storyline. Um, I'll take Randy Ortons to me. I'd love it. I'd love it they won't do this. I'd love that they would do factions in some way, like the w guys like versus the Indie guys. That could be really cool.

I've actually heard a rumor about eventually, um, like the guys that were in New Japan from the club like randomly getting beat up on nights and not knowing what's going on, and then they kind of like form back together like Finn balor A J. Gallows and Anderson be awesome. I don't think we see that because I think galls Anderson are gone, and I think that a j goes to Raw and Finnosa SmackDown. So I could see that

that would be cool though, like an indie faction. Yeah, there's been rumors that like the club and put Kevin Owens in it, rumors of that for a long time. There's also rumors that when the Undisputed Arrow get called up, Owens will be the leader of it with Adam Cole. Is that that is like the indie faction. Interesting, that's that's that's been That's also that would be great. All right, up next, I don't I don't know how much hype

there is for this match. It's a triple ights versus Batista, greg A, no hold Bard for career as you should triple anchel win. Yeah, he's a pretty substantial well not minus two sixty, yeah, I think, but hesa want to come back fight Hunter again on WrestleMania, and they built us up well or really terrible. So basically they started really well with Batista beat up Rick Flair in the back to do I have your attention now? So, oh, I was pretty cool. Doesn't show up in roll the

next week to get He'll heat again? Very cool. So then they finally had like the face to face promo and Batista kept screaming at Triple Age give me what I want, but never actually said what he wanted. He's just like, give me what I want, and maybe he wants a lot of money, and then hunters like, you want me to give you what you want, give me

what I want, but they never said what he wanted. Oh, and then I think Batista forgot his lines' by being an actor a Triple Age like you want to fight a WrestleMania sure, And I was like, oh, that's all

you wanted. You probably just needed to say that. So that was I'll continue on until a week later Triple Age to the promo without Batista, which is much better, and and Triple H. Of course, they tried to mix real with Ca Fave and Ken Dave Dave, this is a Triple Age talking Dave, and I was like, did he introduce himself? He did not say. He didn't say Paul. This is not working. I tried to make it personal.

It didn't work. Then they left Batista kind of promo this past Monday, but they only let him say like three words, which was much better. And that's it. That's that's all build up outside of the Boss and hug connection. Is this the most cringeworthy build up? This is a bathroom break from it? Oh? Really? Yeah? All right, Johnny, what do you think when you're gonna go buy a buy Beard at MetLife? No, probably gonna be during the h the Corbin Angle match. If that's like a real match,

that's fair. What do you think wins this? Oh? Riple, do you have any interest in this or not? Really? I mean it's just like a bunch of two old dogs fighting to old old dogs fighting, all right. I think we kind of gotta pick up the pace a little bit here, Greg Roman reigns. It's Drew McIntyre. Yeah. Also probably like the Lock of the Night was lost. They built Drew McIntyre up to loose the Roman Rains agreed. Drew McIntyre, if Seth wins, will be the next challenger

for the title. Nearly as big of a favorite as Finn Balers. Roman Rains minus three or five Drew McIntyre plus two Roman Reigns should win. Why are they Why are they just feeding Drew McIntyre to him? Though? They needed to build up a strong heel, which they've done and Drew's awesome. I feel good for Julie got that he's a one on one on one match, a many heads great okay, cool? Uh the w W Championship on

Smack Day. Of these three to go, right, Daniel Bryan versus Kofi then we have Yeah, these are the fine three. So the three big championship matches. Daniel Brian the champion defending against Kofi Kinston. So this match was supposed to be Daniel Bryan, the vegan and the health nut and Mr Nature against the every man Kevin Owens was like a fact guy that likes hot dogs and burgers and nachos and stuff. What happened to that? So that was supposed to be the match. Oh my god, I just

realized they dropped the mysterio dominic storyline, didn't they? That was funny. Um, his son came back for a while, and I don't really know the point of it, but they were building that up and then I think they forgot about it anyway. Um, so it waspally Kevin Owens every man versus Daniel Brian, the vegan, the weirdo hippie.

And they had the gautlet matches they kind of do every year that you want to smack down on one on raw and KOFE kind of like blew it away and there use this whole social media craze saying actually kofe media and credits w W. They changed their story. They moved Owen's returned up. They had they fed Owens to Daniel Bryan earlier, and then they gave Covid the opportunity to fight at Rsamania, which is awesome. That's a

great story. The problem is is, uh, they had the storyline basically game Vince versus KOFE, and Vince was holding KOFE down because iron a he's a B plus player,

which they kind of alluded to. That was the whole thing with Daniel Bryan, which is cool, but they kind of too long to get get to the destination of Kofe versus Daniel Bryant, where it was too many times where they kept throwing different things at KOFE and he wouldn't survive it, and then we could go he survived it, and then he's fighting now, and then had a contract signing where KOFE forgot his lines a bunch and it was very uncomfortable. Um, that's it, and here we are

Kobe versus Brian. I think everybody in the world think will win. I'm not as sure as I think most people are. I can see them extending this. Uh, the most awesome thing they can do is that the New Day turn on KOFE. They won't do that, but it would be awesome merchandise exactly. So I'll say Kovie wins, but the can't get too much of a good thing. You can't have too many faces go over. But I

think Kovie does win. I also think KOFE wins. I agree that that this was one of the matches that I felt took way too long to get here, Like we were at the two week mark when they were finally like okay, KOFE prison and Brian, like this should have been set like weeks ago. But the only thing I do love about this match is that it was

something that organically happens. It's it's giving the fans that they wanted exactly, Like they worked very well and something organically just happens and they actually went with And that's cool. I like the fact that you brought it up that that's basically what happened with Daniel Bryant too. Yeah, I remember we were at one of the first roles when they basically asked, like, who do you want to go for the title. I had a bunch of dudes lined up on this on the type shot, and like everyone

was freaking out for Daniel Bryan. You were actually at that raw So that's that was cool. I'm actually to me, Greg, this is my this is my underdog. I like. I like Daniel Bryan. I think I think he's gonna win this. I think he's gonna retain this. I think everyone thinks that. I think he's gonna get a shot. Uh. And they're kind of gonna go with the the way here and

Daniel Bryan's gonna retire. I don't hate it. The Universal Championship match, Brock left the champion for what feels like the tenth WrestleMania in a row defending against Seth breaking Rollins. So I thought for a while Rollins would win this, especially when it was Owen's against um Brian UM. But then it's like, I don't think too many again, you can't have a happy ending for for everybody. Then Roman came back and then they can get Roman overcome Brock again. Um.

So the storyline here, Seth wins the rumble chase. Uh, is gonna fight against Brock. They think they had the child reading the kind of interrupted that and they never really got on the same page. There're a couple of good promos between Rollins and Hayman. That's really it. It just feels a little lackluster. I think the match is gonna be awesome. I've they been playing off seth Rawlins cashing in a lot. No barely mentioned it. It's more

the storyline is more, you think. So the storyline has basically been that Brock has a lot of trouble with guys that are like Rollins, like aj Styles and Daniel Bryan Finn Balor, and Rollins is better than those guys, and that's why he's going to beat Brock. And I don't think he does. I'll think Brock Lesner John I want to say Seth, but you know it's Wrestylvania, and you know you don't bet against Brock at Mania because he's Brock Lesner. But I'm going to so I Chooseth. Wow, alright,

there you go. Uh. And the odds for this one, I mean it's basically a coin flip seth Rawlins minus one fifteen Brock minus so very close to uh, even odds here between Lessner and Rawlins because I have Daniel Bryan retaining, I'm gonna take seth Rawlins to reverse there. The main event here Greg got Winner takes all Raw SmackDown Women's Championship. I assume that they will unify the titles after this. Ron Rowsey versus Charlotte Flair versus Becky Lynch.

The storyline here is very clear, like they turned Becky heel last fall, but by turning her heel, the fans loved her because she was saying everything they wanted. So she had this crazy but she's supposed to fight Ronda Rowsey at Survivor series. She gets a nasty concuss in and a broken nose and they had the bloody face. It was like, oh my gosh, she's amazing exactly, so

she was amazing. The fans got way behind her. Becky then wins the Royal Rumble and it's all set up for Becky versus Rohn Da Rousey, and then they decided to insert Charlotte Flair, which never really made any sense, and to this day they haven't figured out the reason why. And I mentioned earlier on in the show it was there's no straight point. It should have been Becky versus Ronda, and that's it. They've inserted Charlotte and they've kind of kind of up with different ways here. They turned Rhn

to heal Becky had a bed knee. The authority don't wanter there. Then they changed that plan to KOFE and it never really made any sense. Instead of just letting three women who hate each other, that want the titles, that want to be the first person to beat Ronda Rousey, that's the storyline. They didn't push that enough until the end. It's weird, but we're here Johnny triple threat Becky, Charlotte, Rhonda. Finally, Becky Lynch wins both championships. The only question is, as

you beat ron Da Rousey for it? I don't think so. I think that's why Charlotton this match. I think we're gonna be I think they're gonna protect Rhonda here. So then do we get Becky versus Rhonda one on one at SummerSlam. Let's say, maybe, yeah, that sounds about right. Why not? Yeah, you have Becky winning this. But of course, so outside of Baron Corbyn, Becky Lynch is the biggest favorite on the card minus four. Obviously, you guys are much more in tune with what's going on and wrestling

right now. This just strikes me as everyone thinks Becky land Place is gonna win and they go another direction. They can't. I hope they don't. I'm still gonna take Becky Lynch to win. I hope. I hope she because I want her to win. I want her to win. But it wouldn't surprise me, like how many years in a row have we wanted brock Lesner to lose? To me, the story has to end with Becky tapping out Rhonda. I don't think it does. I don't That's how the story.

Ronda is not going She's not taking the pin or submission in this. John stan want to thank Shawn's downstairs Alex as well, Chris Mentri two for Jaddy Stanford, for Reggie Stanfeld. I am Greg. Having a wonderful weekend. I'll see you back yard day. We hope and Joy wrestle. Manea, everybody m
