1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
You on your five star matches?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
You on your 30 minute classics?

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Not me.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Big meaty man slapping meat.

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:54,000
What is good ladies and gentlemen, this is Randall Beatley, your host of the slapping meat wrestling podcast.

6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And in the words of the band Stained, it's been a while.

7
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I know it's been about three weeks since I've posted an episode.

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Just a lot going on outside of this podcast with normal life as well as I just haven't been inspired to talk wrestling.

9
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,000
The last episode I talked about was reviewing Revolution from AEW and I gave it a lot of props.

10
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
I gave AEW a lot of props on that episode with what I felt about it.

11
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,000
And I left watching Revolution saying I'm going to give AEW another try.

12
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
If they continue to book like they booked Revolution, maybe I'll start watching.

13
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And I've watched maybe two episodes since then.

14
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And I'm just going to say, Tony Khan, you lost me again.

15
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
You lost me again.

16
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I don't have specific examples.

17
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I don't take notes of it.

18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I'm not reviewing the shows.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
But I just.

20
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,000
It's you went back to doing the typical booking that lost me with AEW.

21
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And I just I need more story.

22
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Right.

23
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So I'll give an example. Last week they had Omega fight.

24
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Ijo del Facchino.

25
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I think it's his name.

26
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And which those are two great wrestlers.

27
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Probably could be both in that inside the top 10 best wrestlers alive, depending on the list of who you're asking.

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
If you ask, you know, Dave Meltzer, they're both in the top five.

29
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And I'm not against putting two very good wrestlers in the in a ring together.

30
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But if there's no story as to why that match is happening, you lose me.

31
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
I don't care about dream matches.

32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I get this response every single time I I complain about AEW.

33
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And they're like, well, Tony Khan's not trying to do stories.

34
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:26,000
He's just trying to put dream matches together, which proves my point that Tony Khan is playing GM mode on a video game.

35
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And he's just creating all of his all of his favorite wrestlers.

36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You've ever done that on WWE?

37
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:42,000
You try to, you know, create your favorite wrestlers or you go to community creations and you download all the creations of your favorite wrestlers that aren't in the game.

38
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And you're just playing dream, dream mode, GM mode, universe mode, whatever you want to call it.

39
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
You're just you're just playing that on the game.

40
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
You're putting all your favorite wrestlers in it and you're putting dream matches together.

41
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Right. That's what Tony Khan is doing.

42
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And in the end, he's losing that there is an audience out there who watches WWE, who I think want to give a W a shot.

43
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
The casual fan who loves good storytelling would watch a W.

44
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I like the sport in the entertainment world of wrestling.

45
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I think it's fantastic.

46
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:35,000
However, at the very end of the day, it is two or more people in a ring fake fighting.

47
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,000
So you have to do something to to make me enjoy the entertainment of it and give me a story to tell me why they're fighting.

48
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Right. And I'm not that's not a critique.

49
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Calling it fake from is not a critique. It's being realistic.

50
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
It's telling you what it is. It is two people fake fighting.

51
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
But that's also the same thing with any action movie ever.

52
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Right. But in the movie, there's a story as to why this guy hates this guy, why they meet in the middle and then what happens after.

53
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And if you're like Fast and the Furious or whatever, that goes on for 35 years.

54
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And they never end. They never end the right.

55
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
But the same thing with like Star Wars. Right.

56
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Star Wars is essentially a group of people, two factions of people, the dark side, the Sith and the Jedi's fake sword fighting.

57
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
If you really get down to it, the actors are fake sword fighting.

58
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
But there's a story around why the fighting is happening.

59
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And A.W. that's what you need.

60
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
You can bring people back to watch your company.

61
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
If you first off, stop on the backstage drama.

62
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
But also just tell stories, tell a story. Right.

63
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And A.W. fans are really like, well, they tell the story in the ring.

64
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yeah. But if there's no motivation, like if I don't I don't have a motivation as to why Kenny Omega is fighting Vakino other than you book it as dream match.

65
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And so because Tony Khan and the rest of the world want to see this and right.

66
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:35,000
You go against good booking practices and you just put together a dream match and you don't tell a story as to why it happened.

67
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
And that's my that's a pay per view worthy match.

68
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
You know what you could have easily done?

69
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Built a story for those two to fight.

70
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And then have the match at a pay per view.

71
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
The next pay per view, which I don't know what it is.

72
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I think it's all in or is it a double or nothing?

73
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I think it's double or nothing. Actually, if I'm thinking about it, one of the two. Right.

74
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
You could have built this to the next pay per view.

75
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
You could have built a story and then had them have the dream match at the pay per view.

76
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And I would have been perfectly fine with it.

77
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
But you lose people like me who want the story of it.

78
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Why is the bloodline the best thing in wrestling right now?

79
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Because it's a story. There's there's there's a plot that we could follow.

80
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000
The WWE just put a playlist on YouTube of the three years of the bloodline story

81
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
and you could sit and watch the story unfold.

82
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Right. But we're not getting that in AEW. There is no story.

83
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:56,000
And if they start to tell one, it doesn't go very deep in depth to entice people who care about the story.

84
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
You got to remember the industry that you're in, Tony Khan.

85
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
It's not a sport. You are not UFC. Right.

86
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
You're closer to Disney than you are to UFC.

87
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
You have to tell stories. That's the only thing that's interesting in this industry.

88
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Because at the end of the day, if I wanted to watch two men fight each other, I'd go watch boxing.

89
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I'd go watch UFC because at least that's real.

90
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And as far as I understand, not predetermined. Right.

91
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I don't know what Dana White does.

92
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
I don't know if he predetermined or pays people off to lose or whatever.

93
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
You can argue when they go to like the when they go for the full match and they have to go to the judging table.

94
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
You can argue maybe that's a little bit rigged.

95
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:56,000
But at least there's like as far as we can tell, none of this is scripted. Right.

96
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
With WWE though, we know it's scripted. The jig is up, my dude.

97
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Like we know it's all scripted. So you have to tell stories.

98
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:13,000
You write what everyone I don't think people understand why WWE instead of calling their fans fans,

99
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,000
why they call them the WWE Universe, because they're in the business of creating stories.

100
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And so so let's transition to this idea. I don't I didn't plan what to do.

101
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
I just want to talk wrestling for a minute and get up to date with with everything.

102
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I don't know how long this is going to go. I owe you three episodes worth of content.

103
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:42,000
I'm not going to go three hours, but I'm going to talk for a minute.

104
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000
WWE calls their fans the WWE Universe because they are trying to first of mimic the Marvel cinematic universe.

105
00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:06,000
And and they're trying to create this idea that what happens on TV is in a separate universe than what happens in the real life.

106
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Right. And that would be a cool thing if they would.

107
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000
That would be a cool idea if they would go full all the way in doing that.

108
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:25,000
And what do I mean by that? I personally believe that they need to.

109
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:33,000
If I'm Vince McMahon or Triple H or whoever is involved, we'll talk about Vince here in a minute.

110
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,000
If I'm the owners and people who run WWE, I'm going into Florida.

111
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:52,000
I'm buying whatever I need to buy next to the Performance Center and I'm you can call it like Titan Center or or or something.

112
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And I know like when they were in the the Thunderdome right during Covid, they call it the Thunderdome.

113
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So if you do something like that and use unknown like NXT talent as the fan base or hire fans.

114
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Right. Don't because I don't think you understand the fan base.

115
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:35,000
The fan base is a character in the in the in the show. It's a character. And so if you don't control your that character, then the story doesn't get told.

116
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Let me explain. If I'm trying to get Bianca Belair right, let's go to the Bianca Belair Alexa Bliss story.

117
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Right. When they were building up that match. Right. Bianca started getting booed, but she was the face.

118
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
She was getting booed because no one no one booed Alexa Bliss.

119
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Everyone loves Alexa Bliss. And so when you let in a crowd that you can't control in there and they start booing your face,

120
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:11,000
you don't you don't tell the story that you want to tell. So you need to be able to control that.

121
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:19,000
And so what I would suggest and this is what I would do if I was Vince McMahon. I would build first off my own arena that I own.

122
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And that's where all of my shows are going to sort of like how they do NXT. Right. In the Performance Center.

123
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I would write. And then when you the only so most of the crowd would be like NXT superstars and then other hired members that you say,

124
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
hey, cheer when we say cheer boo when we say boo. Right. We're going to pump in some sound and you just got to be louder.

125
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Right. And what I would do is is to create that type of atmosphere.

126
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:00,000
And then when you do the pay per view matches, then you do the big arena shows and you allow the crowd to come in when you do the sort of like movie

127
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:11,000
ask show like pay per views are supposed to be movies. Right. In this universe. Right. So the TV shows need to be sort of

128
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:20,000
need to be in a controlled element to get the story over. So when you do the big movie reveal

129
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:31,000
and that's why I think WWE needs to go to like for a year because you know companies telling a story 12 months out of the year where they release a new movie every 12 months.

130
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:38,000
If Star Wars produced a Star Wars movie every 12 months, people would get tired of it.

131
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And I think WWE needs to only do four or five events a year.

132
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:59,000
So yeah, that's where I'm at. That's where I'm at with that. I would love that idea of WWE creating sort of a WWE universe that that mimics

133
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,000
where the storylines and what is going on in the story is complete. It's completely separate from current events.

134
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I don't think like like it hurts my head when people come in and wrestling and they break the fourth wall where they mention like current events

135
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:36,000
because you're supposed to be telling a story. Right. If we go down to the basics of what wrestling is, their characters, they're playing, you know, you have superheroes and you have villains.

136
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Right. If Marvel went into their story and talked about like anything that's going on today in their story, it kind of breaks that fourth wall.

137
00:14:50,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Right. Like if if if they were doing a Black Panther movie and they mentioned anything that because Wakanda is a made up place based off a myth of what Africa of a country

138
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:16,000
that maybe maybe existed at one time, maybe didn't we don't like but if they were in Wakanda and they mentioned something present day like now, like it breaks that fourth wall.

139
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And it sort of hurts the continuity of the story. You're telling stories. The main point of what I'm telling is WWE tell me stories.

140
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:35,000
AW tell me stories. I don't care about what the Internet fans want and dream matches. You can give me dream matches.

141
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Just do it with a story by giving me a motivation. Right. Give me a motivation why why I should care about each character involved in the story that's being told.

142
00:15:44,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Let's talk about Vince. Vince McMahon has paid apparently like 17 million dollars back to WWE basically to cover the hush money he paid for the the legal things that he's been going on with these accusations.

143
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:21,000
And ladies and gentlemen, just like that Vince McMahon is probably taking over. Vince McMahon is probably back. Right. He paid restitution for the alleged mishappens.

144
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And now I think he's taking control again. I think with with that being said, I think we start seeing theory get pushed again. I think some of the guys Triple H brought back Candice, Johnny Gargano, Dexter, Hit Row, Bray Wyatt.

145
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:56,000
With them coming back or with Vince potentially back in the fold as being in control. I think we're going to start seeing them take a back seat.

146
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And I think some of the guys like theory are going to get pushed.

147
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Chad Gable. I think Triple H want I don't think Vince McMahon is going to take complete control. I don't. I think Triple H is still going to be in control of booking until I see otherwise.

148
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I don't I think Triple H is still going to be in control. But here's what I've noticed. Triple H isn't good at this job.

149
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:37,000
But but but I think I think I warned you guys go back and tell me if I'm wrong or not. But when Triple H was named head Booker when when Vince sort of retired.

150
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Right. And Triple H was named head Booker. I think I warned everyone.

151
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
It's not going to be as good as you think it's going to be. He's going to turn the main roster into NXT.

152
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:59,000
He's going to book the way he booked NXT. And that's exactly what he's doing. If you've if you watched NXT during that time during the Triple H black and gold era.

153
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:08,000
NXT was boring on on the week to week. And then they put on very good pay per views or premiere live events right to take over events.

154
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Save the next day. But but the bill to it was boring as all get out. It was boring. Stories weren't being told. It was just dream matches or you know there was some type of story.

155
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:35,000
None of it was entertaining. It was just match after match after match for two hours. And it it. Oh wait that's a W. I hate to say Triple H books the same way.

156
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Tony Khan books because they're booking for the same audience. And that's the cat the hardcore fans who just want to see matches and really I think there are a W fans out there.

157
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
If all if you go to the show and they just put on seven matches and there was no story at all.

158
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000
They just gave you seven matches every week. There would be fans that would be happy with it.

159
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And then there would be people like me who'd be like well none of this makes sense. What are we building to. What what what is the reason we're doing all of this.

160
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Where's the motivation for it. Like what what is the reason that I should watch this.

161
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:22,000
And I just don't.

162
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:39,000
See like Triple H to me is not a good booker. I was very worried when he took over very worried when he took over because I immediately assumed that

163
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:55,000
the product was going to get worse and it was already pretty made at the point. But what I figured was he was going to bring back some crowd favorites he was going to try to push people that no one cared about.

164
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:02,000
And Triple H is sort of like silver lining was we're just going to use the bloodline.

165
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And that's going to save me. But that's a triple that's me that's a Vince McMahon creation Vince and his team built the bloodline not the other way around.

166
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Our Triple H didn't build that.

167
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
So I just.

168
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:28,000
I don't know. I just don't know. I just I think Triple H will still be there. I just don't. I don't like the way he books.

169
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000
He's had how many weeks to plan for WrestleMania and I'm just not happy with what we're getting.

170
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:44,000
There's no excitement here. I have a few matches I'm excited for. I'll be honest. I like Logan Paul and Seth Rollins. I think that's going to be a killer match.

171
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Roman versus Cody. I'm just not excited for it because of the story that's being told.

172
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
I think that there's a lot more that we can do with the bloodline.

173
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I think I personally think that there's a lot more we could do other than Roman Cody and then the tag team match for the titles.

174
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000
I think that we could do a lot more. I do. Let me explain.

175
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000
I don't know if I've gone through this, but before or not.

176
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
But let me sort of explain what I would have done at Elimination Chamber when Jay came out.

177
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
They were half right with what I would do. Jay comes out during Elimination Chamber.

178
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:34,000
You know what I have Jay do? Kick Sammy in the face. They held that back too long.

179
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Have Jay kick Sammy in the face. Have that lead to a match between Jay and Sammy at WrestleMania.

180
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Have them beat down Sammy Zane. Have Jay and Jimmy consistently beat down Sammy Zane.

181
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:04,000
At WrestleMania, Sammy faces Jay. He loses because Jimmy's there to protect him. He beats him down.

182
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Right. So at Backlash, you have Jimmy versus Sammy. Same results. Right.

183
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Jimmy wins. Jay comes out and they beat up Sammy. Right.

184
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Now we're going to Puerto Rico. Or is Backlash in Puerto Rico? I don't remember.

185
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I think Backlash is in Puerto Rico. I don't think they've announced in between Backlash and Money in the Bank.

186
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:44,000
So I don't know if there's one in between or not. I'm assuming Hell in a Cell would be there in between.

187
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:57,000
But let's just say we go to Hell in a Cell and it's Sammy versus maybe both of them in a cell.

188
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Or maybe Sammy versus Jimmy again or something where they put some other stipulation.

189
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Maybe it's Sammy versus Solo in a cage match or whatever. Right. And again, beat down.

190
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:28,000
So yeah, you do that. You have Jay versus Sammy at WrestleMania. At Backlash in Puerto Rico, you have Jimmy versus Sammy.

191
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:47,000
The same result. He loses, gets beat up. He loses, he gets beat up by the bloodline, including Solo. Right.

192
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Then I'm assuming Hell in a Cell will be in between Backlash and Money in the Bank.

193
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And you could have Solo versus Sammy in either Hell in a Cell match or a no holds barred or street fight or something like that. Right.

194
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And then again, Sammy loses, he gets beat up. And then you have a then you could do one of two things.

195
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,000
You can then have Kevin Owens show up and be his protector. Right.

196
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And then they can build towards having the tag match at SummerSlam or you could have Sammy beat down, beat down, beat down, beat down four months in a row.

197
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:53,000
WrestleMania or the Elimination Chamber. He loses because of betrayal by Jay.

198
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And then the month of March leading in the WrestleMania is one month.

199
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
WrestleMania is another month. Backlash another month. Hell in a Cell another month. Right.

200
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:09,000
So four months in a row, you're just getting beat down by Jimmy, Jay and Solo.

201
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000
So at Money in the Bank in London, you can do one of two things.

202
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Kevin Owens either comes out and at the end of Hell in a Cell, Kevin Owens comes out and protects Sammy, which then leads up to maybe Kevin Owens fighting the bloodline or something.

203
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:35,000
And they create a tag team. They do something leading up to SummerSlam where they would have their tag match where they could win.

204
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Or what I would actually prefer is you go into Money in the Bank and Sammy Zane wins Money in the Bank.

205
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,000
So he's beat down, beat down, beat down, beat down. And now he starts to rise again and the fans are still behind him.

206
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Right. You have Sammy win Money in the Bank and he does the baby face move.

207
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Hey, Roman, I'm not waiting to tell you. I'm not waiting to sneak up on you. I'm telling you right now.

208
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,000
In Detroit and SummerSlam, I'm taking that title.

209
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:11,000
And he says, I'm cashing in. Don't plan another match because I'm coming. Right. I'm coming for you.

210
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Right. And that's how you tell the story. And then at SummerSlam, Sammy Zane wins the Undisputed Universal Championship.

211
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000
And that's the story I would tell. And you push Cody back to the background.

212
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Not because Cody doesn't deserve it, but because Cody's not the hottest baby face right now.

213
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:42,000
You've spent six to eight months building Sammy Zane as this underdog baby face.

214
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And everyone knew he was turning on Roman. Everyone knew it was going to happen, when it was going to happen.

215
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000
And when it happened, it made him the biggest baby face in the company with the biggest reaction.

216
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:59,000
And you're going to sort of cut that story short because you want to insert Cody Rhodes.

217
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I'm sorry. You can't do that. You just can't. You got to tell Cody you're going to get a shot at the title.

218
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Right. I know there's backstage politics, but look, Cody, like Cody could have easily transitioned into a feud with Seth Rollins.

219
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Cody could have won Royal Rumble. He could have had his match with Roman. Seth could have...

220
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Right. This is why Seth Rollins needs to lose his match. If Seth Rollins loses to Logan Paul, that pisses him off.

221
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:40,000
He comes out in the main event of WrestleMania and attacks Cody Rhodes. He heals Seth Rollins, attacking Cody Rhodes.

222
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And angered Seth Rollins, who just feels like everything is going against him. He attacks Cody Rhodes.

223
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,000
And this needs to be the feud to determine who faces Roman.

224
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000
And what you could do is it doesn't even have to be who faces Roman. It's who's going to face Sammy.

225
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Because Sammy is going to be the one to beat Roman for the bet at SummerSlam.

226
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000
So then you have Cody finish off the Seth story.

227
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Or you have Seth beat Cody. One of the two.

228
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000
I would ultimately pick Cody because then you can do face versus face, but there's motivation because Cody just wants the title.

229
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:26,000
And so Cody's willing to do things that are heelish. And you can make Cody a heel. I think Cody's a really good heel.

230
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
I really do. He doesn't need to be beloved by everybody.

231
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
I think Cody makes a really good heel. Right.

232
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:42,000
So that's how you do the story. That's how you should have done this.

233
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000
But right, I'm not excited for Cody versus Roman. I think I know what Roman's winning this.

234
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:56,000
There's I've never calculated a situation where Cody wins this match.

235
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:03,000
It just doesn't feel right to me. Right. That you just give him a shot on coming because he's Cody Rhodes.

236
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
That doesn't make any sense to me there.

237
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:21,000
However, with them about to start doing the worldwide tour with them going to Puerto Rico and then they're going to London literally back to back.

238
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:29,000
They're probably going to do Hell in a Cell in between here in the States and they'll probably do an entire European run leading up to money in the bank.

239
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Roman's not going to do that full tour. Roman's not going to be away from home for basically two months.

240
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:46,000
So. Roman won't. I think Roman might be at the pay per views.

241
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:54,000
He's not fighting at backlash. Don't expect Roman wins at Mania. Don't expect Roman Reigns to be at backlash.

242
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Just don't expect it. I don't like I know the fans of Puerto Rico want to see Roman Reigns.

243
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Don't expect him to be there. That's why I believe some some type of dirty ending is going to happen.

244
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
This is why Seth needs to attack Cody because then Cody can immediately transition into Seth Rollins.

245
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Seth Rollins, you cost me my title. Then have that be the match at backlash.

246
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Have that be the magic backlash. That's made that main event.

247
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
You have to write and we'll probably get a Damien Priest singles match where he wins.

248
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,000
We'll probably get Selena Vega on the card in some way, shape or form.

249
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I think it'd be pretty decent. I just as long as it's continuing the story and this isn't just like we're going to cater to.

250
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Right. But this pay per view has a chance to destroy like here's the thing.

251
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:59,000
You have a chance to destroy the best faction in the bloodline and build a faction to take its place in Judgment Day.

252
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:08,000
You have that opportunity or you keep the bloodline and you build Judgment Day as a legitimate faction to challenge them.

253
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Rhea Ripley should beat Charlotte.

254
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Dominic needs to beat Ray as much as that pains me to say I'm I'm I did not like Dom as a face when he was with his dad, but they separated him from Ray.

255
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They gave him a character that it's funny. They've embraced the comedy act.

256
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:36,000
It's funny. And I think now you can turn it to where it's a legitimate thing where Dominic can beat his dad.

257
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Get rid of it in that story and transition that Dominic is killing it right now.

258
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:49,000
He is Damien. Don't know if he I think he's in the Andre the Giant match.

259
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
I don't know. I really don't know.

260
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:01,000
But that's on Friday before mania.

261
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,000
But let's just say priest is in that Andre the Giant match.

262
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
He needs to win. You have the ability.

263
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Finn Balor needs to beat Edge.

264
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:19,000
You have the ability to make the Judgment Day.

265
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,000
The top faction or a competing faction.

266
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
With.

267
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000
The bloodline.

268
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,000
So I'm not going to do like a prediction or go through of that.

269
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Yeah, we will do that on probably on Wednesday.

270
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:49,000
And then once mania season's over, like I'll be honest with you, I'm not exactly certain how often I'll do this show until the product is.

271
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
I'm just bored with wrestling at the moment.

272
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I'm just it's not entertaining to me and I have a lot more things that I find entertaining that I could do with my time than.

273
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Sit here and watch a show that I don't.

274
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000
I haven't watched Rawl or Smackdown outside of some clips in about two weeks, honestly.

275
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And when I do come back to the show, it's going to be more than just highlights.

276
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:26,000
I'm going to try to make this like things that I enjoy because I just I just don't enjoy the product that we have right now.

277
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
So it may be like, hey, let's talk about this or that.

278
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I may even transform this into.

279
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
I don't know something else.

280
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:51,000
In the in wrestling, more than just talking about the current product in the news and all that, because there's no real news and the product is but at the moment from all companies.

281
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
So.

282
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
I want to feel excited about this, but I just don't.

283
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I just don't feel excited about what's going on in wrestling, especially with WrestleMania.

284
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And this is supposed to be like star study.

285
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:18,000
You're going to Hollywood and you don't have the rock and you don't have Stone Cold and you don't have, you know, you don't have big, big.

286
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Stars there, you have the Miz hosting it.

287
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,000
You couldn't find some B level celebrity to host WrestleMania.

288
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
You have to put the Miz.

289
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Right.

290
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
You.

291
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Have seen a but we know that we know he's filming, so we know he's not going if he wins, he's not going to hold it for longer than a day or two.

292
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
And more than likely, he's probably not going to win.

293
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
You have Logan Paul, which is a decent celebrity.

294
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
But when all you have is Sina.

295
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,000
And Logan Paul, and that's your star studded WrestleMania.

296
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Now, the rumors are they're holding things back for Raw after because Triple H books for the marks who think that the Raw after mania is better than mania.

297
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
That's insane, dude.

298
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
This is supposed to be the biggest event of the year.

299
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
And you're going to hold back surprises to the day after.

300
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
That's insane, dude.

301
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
That's literally insane.

302
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Literally insane.

303
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I don't know. I just I really I really don't know what to talk about that.

304
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,000
I don't we I mean, we got a decent Hall of Fame class.

305
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
I'm not a big fan of the Hall of Fame.

306
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Personally, for me, I think WWE should just stop doing it until you build a physical Hall of Fame.

307
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000
It literally means nothing.

308
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
It literally means nothing.

309
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
And you run out of people that even want to be in it.

310
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:58,000
And like Batista was told was supposed to be the headliner this year, but because he's filming and he can't make it, they're moving him back another year.

311
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
We have a three person class right now.

312
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Muda was never in WWE, but they're going to credit him because they own WCW.

313
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
You have Rey Mysterio, who's still an active competitor, who's going right.

314
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Like with Edge, I can understand.

315
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
He was he retired.

316
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
He got put in and then he come back.

317
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Right. But imagine if like the NFL decided last season, Tom Brady still playing, but we know he's going to be in the Hall of Fame.

318
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
So we're going to put him in there anyway.

319
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000
That's it. Like like this is how you know WWE like can't be taken seriously as a sport.

320
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,000
No other sport would put an active full time competitor in the Hall of Fame.

321
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Right. But you run out of choices.

322
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:49,000
And so yeah, Rey Mysterio's either he's right. Either he's retiring after this match or.

323
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Right. But no, does anyone actually care about the Hall of Fame?

324
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Like I remember when I went to Mania 33 and we bought tickets like we were deciding tickets or things to what events did we want to go to?

325
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Of course, one day of access.

326
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
If you go to WrestleMania just for fan access, do it.

327
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Even if that's all you go there for, if you can't afford tickets to the shows, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, whatever, go to fan access.

328
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,000
If you're in LA, go to fan access.

329
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Do it. It's worth the time and money.

330
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,000
I remember when we went there, crazy things happened.

331
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:37,000
So first we did an interview for WWE Germany.

332
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I don't know if it aired or not, but they stopped us just randomly and they were like, hey, can you do this interview with us?

333
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
We're interviewing fans, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

334
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
We're from Germany. I don't know if it aired.

335
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,000
I mean, they spoke mostly German and their English was kind of broken.

336
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
But again, we just thought it was so cool.

337
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And then we go and we're waiting in line.

338
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000
We're waiting in line for fan access.

339
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:15,000
You get to meet certain superstars depending on like the price package that you buy.

340
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Now, we bought the basic level.

341
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,000
We didn't, you know, if I had the money to hand out, I would have met, you know, Roman Reigns.

342
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
I would have or something like that.

343
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,000
But so the general mission superstars you could meet the day that we went.

344
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000
You had Kalisto, which is a funny story.

345
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,000
My friend called him Rey Mysterio when he walked by.

346
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Just because in WWE, when you see masked superstar, you instantly think Rey Mysterio.

347
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
And then when he turned around, he's like, no, man, I'm Kalisto.

348
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
My friend was like, oh, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

349
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Right. It's funny.

350
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
But apparently he's like, I get that all the time.

351
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Don't worry about it.

352
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Kalisto was such a cool dude.

353
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:02,000
And then there was Dana Brooke.

354
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I want to say Lana was there that day for general mission, but her line was like a three hour wait.

355
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Of course, everyone would go get a picture with her.

356
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Right. So we were in line waiting for to meet Dana Brooke, which is a great story.

357
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,000
So as you get closer to the front of the line and you can hear sort of the conversations that get said with these people,

358
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,000
because it's literally just like, hey, here, sign this.

359
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Here, let's take a picture.

360
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,000
And then you go like you can't just sit there and have full conversation.

361
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000
So a lot of times it's like, hey, big fan or whatever.

362
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Right. And so as everyone's leaving, the guys were getting closer to the front of the line.

363
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
You can hear what Dana Brooke is saying.

364
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,000
And for the 10 people before me, including my friends, I was the last of my friend group.

365
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
I was the biggest.

366
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And so I always stood at the back of the line of our friend group.

367
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I was the tallest and the biggest.

368
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Right. And so I was at the back of the line.

369
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:08,000
So there was like four of us, four of my friends in front of me and then like the six people in front of them.

370
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Right. So that would be 10 people in front of me.

371
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
She didn't say she just said, hey, have a nice day or whatever.

372
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Picture with me.

373
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
I left and she was like, have a great day, babe.

374
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
And I was like, wait a minute. Don't don't do that.

375
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And from that day, I've been a Dana Brooke fan because I can sit there and say, I don't know if she said it to anyone else.

376
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
She called me babe. That's all I got to say.

377
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And I'm not going to mark out about it. It's kind of weird to mark out about it.

378
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
But it's it's one of those things where she ain't into me.

379
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
But hey, she called me babe.

380
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,000
And so I'll take what I can get at this point at that point in my life.

381
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
It's kind of looking back at it. Not that big of a deal.

382
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
But it's one of the memories I have from from mania.

383
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,000
But standing in that line, you know, so we just got done.

384
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:04,000
I think the German interview was first anyway, the same day we were waiting in line to see Dana Brooke and the dude behind us started talking to us and was like, yeah.

385
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:13,000
And so he started talking and he was like, hey, do you guys want to be in in the local Fox Sports Web as a news story?

386
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
And we were like, sure. Why not?

387
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
He was like, yeah, my name. I think his name was Brian.

388
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:28,000
And he worked for I want to say it was an out of the D.C., Maryland area for their local Fox Sports News Sports Division.

389
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,000
And he was there at WrestleMania to basically cover it.

390
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
And we've we made the news. I could go back.

391
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:43,000
I got to find the article, but I could literally go back and show you me and my group of my friends.

392
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,000
We made the Fox Sports Local Channel in that area.

393
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
It was it was a cool time. Go to fan access.

394
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
If that's all you do, go to fan access. Well worth the time and money.

395
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:02,000
But anyway, we when we were planning this trip and they were planning out events like I really wanted to go to NXT Takeover.

396
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,000
I still think I've been to Vindicis.

397
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:16,000
I went to an NXT pay per view this year, but I really want to go to take over like WrestleMania edition because like stand and deliver, which is what they call it now.

398
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Like those are their big events. Right.

399
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,000
That's their big event. And I really want it like like they're going to Philly next year.

400
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:36,000
And if I could either get if I can get the time off and save up the money to go wrestle.

401
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,000
First off, I hope WrestleMania starting next year goes back to one year.

402
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:50,000
And yeah, that's just the hope for that. But WrestleMania and then I would go to NXT.

403
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
I would write. But like we were talking and all my friends like we got to go to the Hall of Fame.

404
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And I was sitting there like, I mean, if you want to.

405
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
But I would rather spend that money to go to NXT.

406
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:11,000
And because you're sitting there and there's not much crowd interaction at the Hall of Fame event.

407
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And I don't know, it just feels weird to me to go to it would be weird to go to any Hall of Fame event, especially like there wasn't anyone when I went.

408
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:27,000
There wasn't anyone really super special that got inducted that I was like, oh, I'm here for this guy.

409
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Right. So I just I wish WWE would quit it with the Hall of Fame gimmick until they build a physical Hall of Fame that people can go and watch.

410
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Like, I don't know why I haven't done that yet. If you built a physical Hall of Fame that either one people can go to like what I would do if I was WWE is I would build a physical building Hall of Fame in Florida.

411
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Put it right next to your your performance center.

412
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,000
And.

413
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Just have have people like, hey, come down here.

414
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000
You can tour the training center. You could tour the Hall of Fame.

415
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
You can meet some of the, you know, maybe the trainers, whatever.

416
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Do do guided tours like that. You're an entertainment center like company or an entertainment company.

417
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Build something like WWE. You know, the biggest thing, the greatest thing for the fans.

418
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
If WWE does sell, would it go to Disney? Because we would get a theme park.

419
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:42,000
And that would be great. And we would get themed restaurants and we would get we would probably get a physical Hall of Fame.

420
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:51,000
If Disney bought it, they would make that a number one tourist attraction for one for the WWE side of their parks.

421
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
So like as an entertainment company, you have to do the best to entertain people.

422
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,000
You know how cool it would be if.

423
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,000
WWE had a Hall of Fame and you could go in there and you could tour it and you could tour the performance center.

424
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And and I would even have like a history of WWE Museum.

425
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Like if I'm WWE, I'm thinking large scale, like you have all that extra stuff sitting in your warehouses.

426
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Like all that. I mean, they do those videos all the time of do we found this in the warehouse?

427
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Like, what can we find today type thing? Right.

428
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Build a history of WWE Museum.

429
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:44,000
And at the very end, put the Hall of Fame and have people tour it.

430
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:54,000
That would be and then I mean, shoot, charge like fifty dollars for the day and you could sit and tour the building, you know, get food, charge.

431
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
I mean, build a museum, my dude.

432
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:05,000
You get incorporated into the performance center, have people, you know.

433
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Tour the performance center, tour the museum, tour the Hall of Fame, have like a 50 day all access path, fifty dollar a day, all access pass.

434
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:20,000
We can tour the Hall of Fame, tour a museum, tour the performance center, get access to all three buildings.

435
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Right. You have to get like a lanyard and a pass loan.

436
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Like I understand like at the place of business or maybe even like either have them guide it or like or, you know, maybe background.

437
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
I understand there's a security risk doing that.

438
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:46,000
But I mean, you can even set up a thing in the performance center where the people who tour it can, you know, do a move or something.

439
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:56,000
I know when they do access, they have like a foam pit where you can jump off a top rope or drop off the turnbuckle into this foam pit.

440
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Right. And now there's rules like you you can't do like flips.

441
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,000
You can't like you can't do anything that would hurt yourself.

442
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000
You have to sign a waiver and all of that stuff.

443
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Right. But. Set up something like that.

444
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Set up a ramp where like you can enter, do like an entrance.

445
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Right. To your right.

446
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:25,000
They have that set up at access, at least they do when I went where you could literally pick a song you want to make your entrance to.

447
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,000
And you could walk out as if you're entering the arena.

448
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Right. Create a fan experience.

449
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Like there's so many things that you could do WWE to benefit your bottom dollar and to create a fan experience outside of just going to the events.

450
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000
I'm a history person. I would love to go to a history of WWE museum.

451
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
That would be freaking fantastic.

452
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,000
And you have enough history where you can build a museum out of it.

453
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:06,000
So this is one of those things where like WWE you're missing the mark here.

454
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Yeah. So.

455
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Yeah. Well, definitely we'll do a WrestleMania prediction.

456
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Like I said, I'm not very excited for it.

457
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
I think the card is shaped out.

458
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
We only know where two of the matches are going to be on the card, which is another thing we could talk about.

459
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,000
You know, typically when you're buying tickets.

460
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Like when I bought my tickets to WrestleMania 33, I didn't have to worry about what night to buy a ticket for.

461
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Because I wasn't there for the whole card. That card was super long.

462
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
I'm not there for every match. Right.

463
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000
So my favorite wrestler, I mean, if my favorite wrestler was Roman Reigns, that's all I'm going there.

464
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Okay. I'm buying a night two because I know he's man vending the whole thing.

465
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:53,000
But if I want to see Asuka, I don't know what night she's going to be on.

466
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Is she on night one? Is she on night two?

467
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Like where Charlotte going to be? Where's the Usos going to be?

468
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:06,000
We now know that Theory versus Cena is going to start the show.

469
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Which probably is because Cena needs to get back to Australia to finish filming.

470
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:16,000
So he's got to go and he's probably then going to leave at the end of the event.

471
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,000
It also tells me that Theory may have something up his sleeve.

472
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:28,000
If Theory's starting the show, are they having something bigger up his sleeve to work with?

473
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Who knows? We'll see.

474
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000
But I will say this, if they do surprise us, I think Matt Cardona could come back.

475
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:43,000
I think all this, the same names we named for the Royal Rumble could be there.

476
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Randy Orton's rumored to be coming back.

477
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,000
So it'll be interesting.

478
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
We'll go over WrestleMania in depth on Wednesday though.

479
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:02,000
And then we'll definitely do like a review show of it the weekend, the Wednesday after that.

480
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000
The next two weeks will be about WrestleMania.

481
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,000
After that, I really don't know.

482
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000
I'll have to plan out something if I even want to continue talking.

483
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
It just depends on the direction the program goes.

484
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
But with that, thank you all for listening.

485
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000
I do appreciate it.

486
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,000
And I'll see you guys next on Wednesday.

487
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:31,000
In a few days as I predict what happens at WrestleMania.

488
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:46,000
I'll see you then.
