Speaker 1

Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network. Ready are you ready? Let's get it all. How's it going, everybody? Brian Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific, six Eastern. Well Wednesday on the show, Everyone's favorite day of the week. Everybody on the chat is all excited about an hour of n x T talk.

I gotta talk about n x T for an how are you kidding me? But I will review it as I always do here today because they got a big show coming up next week. Everybody spring something or other, spring break in, breaking, break out, whatever, anyway we got that. We got a e W Dynamite tonight. And what we do know for sure about Dynamite despite besides the five matches have been announced, is it Hangman Page, we will not be there. Hegman Page has COVID nineteen will not

be on Dynamite tonight. He took to social media Wednesday to announce you will not be on the show. Dynamite is tonight at eight on TBS, but I will not be there because my face is full of COVID snott. Sorry, please enjoy regardless, he wrote on Twitter a brief starred down and we'll see him Punk after the Punk dustin Rhodes match last week. It is going to be Hangman Page versus Punk at the pay per view coming up at the n m A. But we still got about a month to build that up, so I think it's

all right if he misses a week. Best of luck to him, and we'll go over the rest of the line up here in a while as well. Raw ratings killed by the NBA playoffs, as always, got some notes on the w w E stadium shows, the inspiration the former Iconics now Cassie Lee and Jesse McKay done with pro wrestling for the time being. We'll tell you about that and plenty of their notes as well. If you want to contact us here today, we'll have time for

text messages. Maybe you're in phone calls as well, but we'll start with text messages to five seven eight zero seven six is the phone number. Four to five seven eight zero seven five six six. You can always email me Brian at Wrestling Observer dot com at Brian albarez on at Twitter w online on cameo back in a moment with more. Observer Live Bring the show. Brian Alvarez here Wrestling oh Hi, Wrestling Observer Live, Mike's umber viv

also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Yes, the Inspiration. They're done with wrestling for the time being. I don't know that means, because you know how it is in wrestling. People are done. They almost always come back, except in the case of myself, I'm fully retired. Inspirations. Cassie Lee Jesse McKay are stepping away from the ring statement issued Wednesday, they announced their

quote in definitely stepping away from in ring action. Lee and McCabe been part of Impact Wrestling since signing with the promotion last October. I want to thank Scott Demore the entire Impact family, they said it have had such an incredible experience working with the incredible Impact staff and roster, um a bunch of other stuff here. So all I

know is that like this is all legit. So they left on very very good terms, but for the time being, they're leaving wrestling, and what they're gonna do I don't know. But they had their last match this past weekend, they faced the Influence and Influence retained their titles. So yeah, I guess we'll find out what the future holds. But and who knows, you know how wrestling is. We'll be interesting. I guess is is uh, you know, contractually, I mean

you can, you can leave. But if they decided to return to wrestling, presumably contractually, they would have to return to Impact Wrestling and work out the rest of that contract. So we'll see what they do if they come back and have any more to say. That's the updates, So best of luck to them. Did Lance run them off? So you came up with that? Of all that? Do you really care? What's your favorite iconics moment? Brian? So anyway,

can we talk about Dynamite here tonight? Sure? We have a Carusita Serena deep in a street fight, Lance Archer faces Ward Low. We've got an OW and Hard Tournament qualifier with Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler with see Him Punk doing commentary. Lee Him Punk was not exposed to COVID when he had that faced face with Hangman page

last week. I have heard nothing about that. We have got Sammy Gavars Scorpio Sky in a Ladder Match, and we have Adam Cole, Kylo Riley, Bobby Fish, Matt and Nick Jackson against Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman Jr. Dante Martin, Lee Johnson, and Brock Anderson. So that is the lineup for the show tonight. Probably ain't gonna do all that well since we got the NBA which brutalized Raw on

Monday Night again. Row did a one point six one million viewership one zero point four four in the eighteen to forty nine demo the Brooklyn Nets Boston Celtics game three point eight three million viewers, and a one point three three eighteen to forty nine Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks. We put one nine million and one point one seven at eighteen to forty nine. So these these basketball games,

they just they hill, they kill everything. It was the normal first to third hour drop one point seven zero million, first hour, one point six seven million, second hour, big drop one point four seven million, third hour older than is usual drop. And hey, they were out of the one point threes in that third hour this week, so I guess that's a positive. But that's the it's run numbers. There no story I can keep going Mike, then we've got what would you like me to add to that?

It was very fun watching Brooklyn failed miserably instead of watching Well, sure that's something now, isn't it. I don't want you to say anything. I'm just expecting you're h I got a lot of you. Hey, listen, you guys want to talk about NFC two point over the rest of the show, I can, so you can either jump into or I'll just continue on here. Not even a threat. I got a lot I could say about this show. I don't know why everyone hates an x T two

points so much. I mean, it's a bad show, but I mean, god, do you guys not lived through like WCW thunder and and Nitro Brian was twenty five years ago. It was My point is like, god, the show's you know. I mean, it's not a great show, and there was some good matches on the show. Hey, Roxy is gonna be a star no matter what happens. I don't know if I'd go that far, but she's very good, like she worked rings around Mandy Rose. God bless Mandy Rose. But I mean we'll get into that later. I'm trying

to avoid it. You guys, trying to goad me into it. And you know, here's another thing, by the way, I'm sure this person's joking. Me goes, I'd rather watch prime Thunder. Bro, you guys don't get it. Everybody says stuff like that until you actually go back and watch Thunder. You watch you watch three episodes of Thunder, and you're gonna be begging, begging to watch n x T two point oh again, remember the Natural Board thriller. Yeah, all of this, Oh

how easily. Actually it's not really I mean, it was twenty five years ago or whatever. But bro, those sunders, I'm I'm telling you tore you asunder? Is that those thunders did tear me asunder. So let's not have you know it's it's called rose colored glasses. You're looking at the past through rose colored glasses. I I watched it with with no glasses. I watched it actually as it was,

and it was absolutely horrible. And uh, it's funny. It's like people remember, you know, every now and then there was something funny like, you know, uh, Sid versus the Harris brothers, and one of the Harris brothers said his head almost fell off, and then he adds that was sad and stuff like that. It was funny, but bro, you guys don't remember there was a funny thing that would happen every now and then on the show. The rest of the time, it absolutely sucked. It was not

so bad. It was good. It was not so bad. It was funny me. Every now and then a funny thing happened. But that show was one hundred and four hours of thunder over the course of a year, and it wasn't all funny. It was outright bad. So anyway, uh, stadium shows. An increased amount of stadium shows look to be the norm for w E going forward, said a company record, with eight stadium shows this year. Our own ANDREWS.

Zerrian reports that running more stadium events is an approach that w w E plans to continue in three so at eight events, goal is to make this the new norm. It's a nick con approach when it comes to premium live events. Scalability of stadium is very beneficial when it comes to having a live audience over fifteen thousand even doesn't have to be a sell out of fifty thousand, but now you have room to do twenty to thirty five thousand shows more often, leading to higher reven doing

a higher level of excitement for the event. Well, that's certainly the idea now, isn't it. But can you put thirty five thousand people regularly into a stadium? I guess we shall find out obviously if you're doing a Royal Rumble or a WrestleMania or a Summer Slam. But are you gonna put thirty five thousand people in the building for a hell and to sell pay per view? Yes, we shall. We shall find out how loyal these traveling fans are for these shows. Money in the bank at

Allegiance Stadium, that's the most interesting one for me. You know, Summer Slam, the show that's going to take place in Wales. You know, I don't think they're gonna be any problem there, but it's amazing money in the bank at Allegiance Stadium. You know. It's just like you know, that's gonna be a probably a great test, you know, without having a Wrestlemanian name or Survivor series or something like that attached to it be interesting to see what they actually end

up with. And this person asked about won't they lie? Well, of course you're gonna lie about the attendance, But the fact is you're still gonna put way more people in then you would running a building that seats fifteen thousand. That's the idea here, and uh, you know, it's it's it will be an experiment. It's all about it's all about whether this works out in terms of revenue. Do you have to lower ticket prices to sell thirty five thousand tickets? Are you gonna sell thirty five thousand tickets?

Is it is it worthwhile to rent the building? And then you do the math. Obviously I'm not a math guy. But if it works, then you continue running its stadiums. And uh, I mean the big thing is, here's the thing with w w E everybody. The booking sucks and they create they can't create stars. Okay, they have a very hard time doing that. If the booking were better, they would easily, I believe, sell lots of tickets to

stadium shows for their big events. So, you know, is the booking the star making ability enough to you know, sell thirty five thousand tickets to uh ten fifteen stadium events every year. We're gonna find out. But they certainly could.

I'm not saying they can't. They could a lot of things they could do back in a moment was they were liveday couple money to day cop Monday days that see see pretty mentally because they see it strung trung ring and I think it's me that can get It's something that I won't try whatever, jail again the show. Brain Elba is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike sumber Viv

also of Wrestling Observer dot com. Well, let's talk about it x T Y. Another thing with this show is the the good workers have good matches and the non wrestlers they practice all week and then like on a good night, it's all right on a bad night and an't know right and uh you know, I mean it would be fine. But like if you've been following this whole n I L recruitment deal, I mean the future of the show is more matches like Nikita Lyons and

lash Legend. Do you guys watch this match? It wasn't bad, Okay, it certainly was not good, but what it was was too very very green. And I will call them non wrestlers because they're not learning to wrestle there, they're learning

to choreograph performances. They are sports entertainers through through. They practice the match for a long time and then they get in there live and then they try and there was a spot in this match was so funny where they both start hitting the ropes and they both forgot what they're supposed to do, so literally they're criss crossing like the Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan, but go in the same direction, and they're yelling at each other as they crossed to try to tell each other what they're

supposed to be doing. I was dying, and uh, I just watched a show and I thought, and I know that USA network, Uh, I'm sure they want the show live, right, but this show absolutely should not be live. This is a developmental show with green non wrestlers who have to practice their matches and then go out there and like do their best. This absolutely positively needs to be a tape show if it's gonna be on national television. But it's live, and so we get funny moments like this.

So you know, they did the match Nikita Lions one with a big kick, and the announcers just, you know, put over that Twitter's exploding every time Nikita Lions on TV, and I mean it's just so just so whatever it is. I mean, that's what this show is. And then we had Tony D'Angelo space supposed to face Zion Quinn, who who I guess was out of action due to injury, and so he gets set up for a match with Von Wagner, which at least actually even then, I don't know who was supposed to be the baby face. I

guess nobody. I don't know what's going on. Then we had Roderick Strong is upset that the Creed Brothers keep failing, and so he has brought the Viking Raiders from the main roster. They only facing the Creed Brothers next week, which actually could be a fun match. We had Von Wagner and Tony D'Angelo and this match was all right, I mean, Tony d' angelo has had I mean, at this point is probably, I swear to God, like twelve matches, and for a guy with twelve matches, he's doing really good.

So you know, this was not like you're not getting a five star match or anything close. But it was fine. And then uh, you know, uh, Legato dell Phantasma showed up and there was a distraction. Escobar took out d'angelo's knee with a Crowbar, D'Angelo sells and cells. He finally jumps in the ring to break up the count. He

gets kicked and pinned by von Wagner. I mean the way this was worked, it was like Tony D'Angelo supposed to be a baby face, but like later in the show, you know Legatto del Phantasma, we're baby faces, but I think they're all heels. I am so baffled watching this show. We had a toxic attraction segment with rock the former rock Sy. She'll always be the former Rocksy to me. This set up a match with Mandy Rose tonight. I thought, for sure they do Gigi Dolan next because she beat

j C. Jane last week. But no, it's just this week. It's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be Mandy Rose fallon Henley. Uh. They're gonna be doing a a match later, a six person with Legato and that one woman that we just cannot identify and they never identify her, They never give us her name. She walked by and Brooks Jensen he's all distracted, you know, because he's got some problems down there, and uh he was yelled at for that. We had Grayson Waller, so they got this guy Nathan Fraser from

an X to UK. He's supposed to debut and Grayson Waller comes out and he interrupts the debut. He starts cutting this promo. He starts burying Nathan Frasier for having a horrible haircut. And you know, here's the thing everybody, when you're a baby face and the heels telling you that your haircut sucks, and with all due respect, your haircut sucks, it might be time to get a new haircut. So then for some reason, uh, Andre ch Ason Body Hayward, which is a great name, it's one of the rare

great names in this company. They're in the crowd and then they get in the ring and they distract Grayson and then you know, Nathan Frasier jumps off the top of the drop kick and then does a bunch of spots. So I guess, I guess Chase University or baby Faces. I don't know why. And and Nathan Fraser is now aligned with them, and he's a you know what this is For those of you that watched before before y'all gave up what they're doing with Nathan Fraser, it is

exactly what they did with Kurt Stallion exactly. Oh no, except Nathan Fraser has a much worse haircut. He hasn't had anywhere near as cool of a promo as the Stallion. Did you remember that? Oh? I remember? Remember those acting chops he had when he was laid out? Don't They

don't remember any of this, guys. Guys remember, And like it's about to thousand one or so, Seaun Michael's had been gone for a while, and then there's like one show where he came back and he decided he was gonna cut his hair to hear and straight all the way around page. Boy. God, well that's what this Nathan Fraser has done. I don't know what he was thinking in By the way, the former Ben Carter for everybody out there who does not watch that next day, yeah, Ben,

get a Ben Carter haircut, whatever that would be. And then we had a ton of Chance and Caden Carter versus Ulyssa Leon and Valentina Ferraz and uh, what's so funny? Well, the Road Warriors neon whatever the hell it was shoulder pads that they had on that they came out with. So I don't know, I cannot figure out this. You listen to Leone and Valentina farraz thing here, because first off, their gimmick is that they're they're they just you know,

they do a lot of shaking. They do a lot of shaking, okay, and in one of them, I think it's Ulyssa Leone. Okay, this just I mean here, it's just weird. The way she moves in the ring. It's like it's totally wrong. Okay, everything she does when she moves looks totally wrong, but her stuff looks good and she can actually kind of work. Well what do you mean by that for the layman out there who has

never been in the ring. But she just like you know, stands up too tall and everything looks totally unnatural and awkward, but she still manages to pull everything off. I can't even explain it. It's just like it's so weird. But I was watching the match, and at the beginning, it's like all they're doing is just shaking their ass and moving weird, and I'm just watching the going what But then like as a match kept getting by the end

it was actually a good match. So I don't know, it's just this it leaves me with I just I have no words except somehow they had a really good match. I don't know about really good, but it was good. And uh yeah, that was that Legato del Fantasma. So uh Old J Old b J gets beat up in the back and uh the baby Faces presume it's Legato del Fantasma, but we later find out that it was actually von Wagner who was sent to beat him up because he'd been rubber necking on the woman who they

don't identify. That's what happened. So it ended up being two on three. And this was also a good match because you got Legato del Fantasma in there, and they're they're very, very good and fallon Henley, I mean, she's she's not bad. And Josh Briggs is you know, he's every big man they've ever had on this show. I mean you can rattle off every big man tag team partner they've had from you know, I've already forgotten all of their names. But Tucker, you know all these guys,

he's he's exactly like all of them. But he's he's fine, He's perfectly serviceable. And this match was good, and of course they got beaten because it was it was three on two, but you know that match is totally fine. Solo Sico and Trick Williams. I mean, it wasn't very good. Trick Williams very very green. And the funniest thing about this match is they have Cameron Grimes on commentary. Cameron Grimes a great promo. I have no idea what was

going on in commentary. His commentary was not good at all. And the weirdest thing was I don't even know if he was doing it on purpose or or what, but like he had all of these cliches and he would begin the cliche, but the end of the cliche he'd get it wrong. It was just like one after another. I listened to this whole thing. I was like, what is happening here? And then he got in the ring afterwards and Socoa tried to super kick Hayes. He ducked and so he hit Grimes and uh, they're doing a

three way next week. We had a great segment with Nervous Malik Blade and Enterest and no Fai trying to give him a pep talk. These two guys are great, but they got killed by the Viking Raiders. That was That was a fun little match there. We had a vignette with Wes Lee on the beach. He's he's all sad about what happened, but he can't tell you what happened, or mentioned his partner's name or tell you anything. So given he could give you no information, it was a

pretty good promo. And then we had Mandy Rose and Dad went to the liquor store, never came home. That's what happened here. I guess Mandy Rose and Roxy was the main event, and uh it was. It was all right. You know Roxanne Perez, she's in the ring at this point. I mean, she was carrying this match with Mandy. I don't know what's going on with Mandy. I don't like to say bad things about people, but her promos and her work like this is where she was years ago.

There's been no improvement over all of these years. I don't know if she doesn't care or what. But she won. So they beat U sand which I couldn't even believe. And after those just leveled out in her in their system. After the break, we'll talk more Observer Live. Glad Is yelled the praise for my n x T reporting here, so I'll continue on. By the way throughout the show, They've got video package for all of these women that will be in the new the breakout tournaments coming up.

Oh man, this tournament. Alexander Yorke is back talking about putting something up from thirty five years ago. We got Sloan Jacobs, she's gonna be there, and some of these other names that they've got, Kiana James. Who else do they have? Alba fire? She explains it like she has she older what spins fire around now or something like that. That's what she said. I'm not kidding. I know. Well, she had a stick she was dragging across the ground,

wouldn't she may have been anyway. After that Mandy Rose match she won, and then Wendy Chew showed up and she was gonna shoot him with a super so I I actually, I gotta, I gotta please. Why do you guys not watch the show? So Mandy Rose beats Rock Sand and then as the Heels are celebrating, Wendy Chew

shows up in her pajamas with a super soaker. She tries to spray the Heels with water, but they go running and they stop on the ramp to go, ha, we're too far away for you to get us without water, and Wendy Chew has a device and she goes and on net falls from the ceiling to capture the heels on the ramp. They attempt to get out of the ramp, but or the the whatever the net, but it takes just long enough for Wendy Chew and Perez to shoot them with silly string. I'm not making a second of

that up. She's got a long career in seven Division coming up, don't she so? Spring Breaking is next week. Nathan Fraser will face Grayson Waller. Have you made fun

of this name yet? Who cares? Naddy and Lash Legend face Cora Jade and Nikita Lyons, The Few that Will Never Die, The Viking Raiders versus the Creed Brothers, Cameron Grimes versus Solo, Sico and Carmelo Hayes, Tony de'angelo and Santos Escobar, and a sit down meeting their advertising that in case here thinking about skipping the show and Braun Breaker against Joe Gacy? Do you want to talk about

that final segment more? Braun Breaker versus Joe Gacy would be, in the words of Cameron Grimes, a main event in any arena. In this arena, I'm seriously gonna go back and listen to that whole segment and try and figure

out what was going on there. Oh my god. We should actually take a list of the people that are on this show and actually just divide them on a piece of paper on baby Faces and Heels and see how many names actually fill up, because for all the things we said about Heels there, and I know she's teaming with Natty, but our Lash Legend and Nikita Lions at this point both baby faces and at some point does it feel like they are going to be a

tag team? Well, I think the last Legend is a heel and they may eventually, yes, you know, be grudgingly become a tag team. Can you imagine the team names they're going to come and get through this stupid main events So I can stop talking about this show, sorry. Joe Gazy comes down to the ring and he is surrounded by all of his uh Druids because now Joe Gazy and has never been explained, Now he has druids, and how Alan has vanished. We don't know where Harlan went.

He disappeared, but who needs Harland when you got two dozen druids? So he's got all these druids around the ring and he's cutting a promo and braun Breaker and he says that braun Breaker is not medically clear to defend the title, and so he's just gonna be the champion. Rick Steiner appears, Yes, Rick Steiner, and he comes down

the aisland. He gets in the ring and Joe Gacy said, you made a big mistake coming here, Rick Breaker, and all the druids get up on the apron and so you know, Rick's in big trouble because like they're gonna suck his blood next. But then the music of brown Breaker hits and uh, he's actually great. He comes out. He's killing druids. He's just clothes line, clothesline, boom, He's just killing all these druids and uh. And then he gets in the ring and gay c lays him out

and so he's down. And then his belt has been left in the aisle. So the last the last two minutes to show the show seriously, the Druid at the end of the line, he picks up the belt, he gives it to the next Druid. That druid gives it to the next druid. That druid gives it and they just all the way down the aisle up into the

ring and they finally give it. Joe Gacy and the announcedent have that creeped out that they transported the belt to the ring when Druid at a time and as the show goes off the air, it's a guilty pleasure everybody. You know you want to watch his leasure. You know you want to watch his show. Everything, I guess for some s and m is his pleasure. Nipple clamps are pleasure, so they what are we talking about. It's a television show.

There was some decent stuff on it. Malcolm Vivens giving a dirty look to Roderick Straw and Ivy Nile is on the on the outside right now. And Creed Brothers interesting, you know they've been playing up. Malcolm Vivens is a baby face. He can do a promo either way. They haven't really defined him. It's just the people have taken

to him in a certain way. And the Creed Brothers will be interesting to see if he sticks with them, which I would like to see, or if he ends up going with Roderick Strong since it looks like they're gonna be breaking everybody up here at least maybe having some new new members of the Diamond Mind, possibly if the Creed Brothers leave the group. So, by the way, since uh so many people are interested in this review on the chat that many questions have come up. Yes,

von Wagner's suspension was lifted. Why because he wasn't supposed to be on the show. Zion Quinn got injured and they needed a replacement, so they had to use von Wagner, So they didn't explain his His suspension has been lifted, which was good because I forgot he was suspended because his show is just like a bunch of stuff happens. It's really not all that important, to be honest with you.

Doesn't Robert Stone have another woman under contract? Or is this mystery woman the only person that he's he's having contact with. I think you're you're remembering, Uh, you know, what's her face that called him to SmackDown like six months ago? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Aaliyah. She was with Robert Stone, She's on SmackDown. She was there this week. What do you mean what happened to or didn't I play the audio yesterday on this very show. Yes,

I'm pretty sure I did, did I not? What I do that with Tom? Alright, well, okay, you want to set this clip up. Well, she's backstage and uh she's she's uh fawning over Ricochet because you see on SmackDown, remember they had that thing and they asked, you know, randos, who has better storytelling? Uh? W W E or a W and like w W E. Well their storytelling is we do an angle every six months or so and

then we just totally drop it. So you know, about six months ago, Aliyah was fawning over Ricochet and then they just totally dropped it and we never heard about it again until Friday. Now she's back finding over Ricochet again. Are you ready to hear this? He is just he's gonna be defending the title later on in the program or something like that. Here we go, give it to me that wants some audio. Huh. You know, if you guys think this live radio is easy, there's a reason

I'm doing it. And none of you that are complaining are all right? Here we go? You're much last week? The gender was incredible. He's so big and you were flying around the ring like it was nobody's business. I mean, that's awesome. Um, so far he'd beaten gender, Sammy Angel and Humbert. Oh how and what is next? Honestly, this this is just the beginning. It is. I've said it before, beaten, beaten, beaten. You know als did that last night? Oh not not

not Roxy, but what's her face? Andy? No? Oh no, no, uh damn it? J c Jane Jane no not you're killing me here described the person killing us small black hair. Cord Jaide, cord Jaide. Cord Jaide also has that same inflection or whatever it would be, with the how she says things. Bennen, look at some of this feedback here. Sure people have got a lot to say, probably about n x T two point. Oh did you know the former Kayla Inlay? Who was that worker who was? Oh

my my favorite Kayla Inlay? She was she has a new gimmick where she looks like a business woman. Is that who that was? Oh? I got it? Trying to figure out who that was. Yeah, maybe she's a York foundation another thing that looked that's who you were talking about. Yes, when you take a picture in a magazine and you see Terry Taylor and Alexander Yorke and everybody else who

was Thomas Rich, Tommy Rich. When you see that group on paper, Ricky Morton, you go, hey, that's that may have been kind of cool if you live through it. It wasn't. Really, it wasn't. This person says, I looked n x T for comedy at this point. Just make me laugh. I'll be fine with the show. Give me Persian indie having quote real conversations. Give me J B and b J Mollike and Eddriss wrestling and I'm good. They have people on there where you it's you see

it is Tiffany Stratton, you got me. You know, Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes especially. You know Melo is gonna be a star, should be hopefully knock on what a star in this business. Legato's all fantastic. I mean, there is stuff they're worth viewing every week. It's just you.

This is for I guess for hoddern Times. This is as close as to as what we have to those syndicated shows from our U thirty five years ago on Superstars and Challenge and Main Event Worldwide and all those sorts of things where you do really have to pluck out what is good and the rest of it. You just kind of have to forget and put in the background. And that's what w W is hoping you're gonna do

with these shows. This person here says, Brian, you should talk about some real news, like the fact that Shop a e W now has a cake and violence shirt available for sale. Well, I gotta jump on that sort of thing. Who's is that I do too? M hm bran. I got my hair cut in high school because of Seaun Michael's Dutch Man do dead serious and I can prove it. I don't need it proven. I believe you. I wanted proven. And is it okay that we show

the people this? And then he he He also added here, I immediately regretted it, by the way, so that's probably a no. That's but if you want to please this person here says, if every pay per view is in a stadium, how do you tell your audience a wrestle Mania is all glits and glamorous of every show in a stadium. Well, because WrestleMania is two days, that'st the hook. And there will be more people there obviously, but more

shows two days. Just watch let's see. Anytime Brian says anything positive, oh, he's got a animated gift here wasting me a text animated gift. I've heard a lot about this, I've not seen it. Uh. Takeshita versus Brandon Cutler on Dark Elevation was the greatest match this person says of

Brandon Cutler's entire career. Please go out of your way to watch this match if you know what is best for you, or just watch one of the many Takashita matches over the last several years where he showed himself to be one of the best young stars in all of professional wrestling anywhere. I don't think you need be see for that. See what we got here, cas vegeta. Let me just throw this one in here, because got

COVID vacated. And there are people who don't necessarily believe that, but you know, they don't believe that he got COVID mm hmm. Conveniently what he didn't want to drop the title.
