Speaker: um Which went to live. Yeah. As you and I thought that it would go to live. She had a pretty crazy year with the comeback and women that went went in the women's title and one winning. don i guess you could say Dom surprised to win. i don't know.
Speaker: Shout out to the new intercontinental champion. We'll get to that in a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker: Winning the tag team titles. Twice. Yeah, twice. I'll mention that once we go back to get to WrestleMania. So, shout out to Liv for women winning the Slammy for a Woman of the Year.
Speaker: um Cash and I made that pick right. Wally did not, because Wally sucks. um
Speaker: Men's Superstar of the Year. Went to... What up, Wally? If you're not working and you're available, feel free to jump up in here. We're going to doing picks for Backlash as well. Men's Superstar of the Year.
Speaker: No surprise. I mean, we we all had different picks. No surprise. Went to Cody Rhodes. Obviously, he had in the last two years have been crazy for Cody.
Speaker: But Cash thought Jay would win. I thought CM Punk would win. I mean, the return, everything's been great. I mean, CM Punk has been fucking performing, man. And and Wally thought it would be Rollins. But shout out to Cody Rhodes on getting the Men's Superstar of the Year award.
Speaker: Yeah. And then we, they didn't do entrance of the year. Like that wasn't like on the page.
Speaker: Oh, singy-ba-chingy. Whatever you're looking at, there is no entrance of the year.
Speaker: Yeah, we just go. You want to go to the next one? The oh my god moment of the year. but
Speaker: Cool, cool, cool. The OMG moment of the year went to no surprise. I called this one the John Cena heel turn.
Speaker: Yeah. Shocked everybody. It happened at the end of the year, too.
Speaker: So. Wally Me picked Wyatt Six debut.
Speaker: Yes. Which is, which I think, i don't know, man. I would have gone Wyatt Six. But nonetheless, the faction of the year went to the OG bloodline. I figured they'd be done and over with.
Speaker: We all picked Judgment Day. um Then we go to the Tag Team of the Year. Wally picked Awesome Truth. Me and Dad both picked Mother City Machine Guns.
Speaker: But it went to Jade and Bianca. I don't really like that pick. They weren't i mean they were a good tag team, don't get me wrong. I would like to see them partner back up again.
Speaker: But they weren't together for that long before... I only pushed her into the car. Yeah. Which they did win the tag team titles twice.
Speaker: And they were holding the the titles the first time for good minute. But it's kind a lot of their matches the longer it went on the boring go to get.
Speaker: Yeah, they were kind of just Just, and I don't know. ah rivalry Rivalry of the year. We all nailed that one.
Speaker: And and just justly deserved, in my opinion. Who won the Slamming for a Rivalry of the Year? Sam Punk and Drew. Absolutely fucking earned. Those two had, what, three, four?
Speaker: Yeah, Summer Slam. They had the Strap Match, Hell in a Cell. Now the last match, Hell in a Cell. And this could just be a Like something that you wouldn't expect. Like these two would have nothing to do with each other right now and still put on a good match.
Speaker: Yeah, they absolutely, in all their matches, and that definitely well-deserved slammy for for CM Punk and Drew. They absolutely tore the house down. And all and their and their feud was awesome.
Speaker: the The storyline was awesome. The back and forths. I mean, jumping each other you know drew mcintyre stealing the bracelet and any match they're in they could be in two different matches they're always putting on a good match especially jim yeah he can throw fit all he wants but he will always prove something he's ah He's just really good with both of them. Which, yeah, we all three got that one right.
Speaker: And then they got Match of the Year. um Went to Punk and Drew and Hell in a Cell. Which you and Wally got that one right. and and And I agreed with you guys. But I just felt like, you know, being in the Slammys that that Sammy would get the...
Speaker: get the get the push ah with his WrestleMania moment over Gunther. But, you know, Punk and Drew taking home another slamming for Punk and Drew. um Breakout star of the year.
Speaker: Yep. And after that match, the hellif felt they were gone for like. Well, yeah, they beat the hell out of each other. Neither of them could stand up.
Speaker: Yeah. I'm pretty sure if that match would have gone on any longer. They would have been dead. Probably. probably um We got here. I'll do that. We'll do that one last.
Speaker: Okay. Breakout start of the year. We all... Me and... Wally and Dad picked Jacob Fun 2.
Speaker: And I picked Bron Breaker. But I went to... Went to NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vakir. Which... I wasn't super familiar with her at the time, but I guess she's just, she's absolutely killing it. And she's been showing up on the main roster lately.
Speaker: And she's a phenomenal female athlete. So props to her. And then last, we have... The WTF moment.
Speaker: What the fuck? Moment. um
Speaker: Which... Went to the Wyatt Wyatt 6th Their debut Their debut, yeah I wish, I don't know what's going on I wish they'd come back Yeah, the guy transferred to Smackdown But never showed up Yeah, they never showed up so I think that's just your excuse of them taking off their break Yeah I picked Tama Tunga Yeah, picked the debut of Tama Tunga With our picks Wally, I hope you got your ears on With our picks in the Slammy
Speaker: ah you and You and Cash went three and six and ah went four and five. So chuck another one up for the bad guy.
Speaker: Real quick, Cash, before we get into too much more, I seen this. this I got this this morning.
Speaker: A whole list. ah
Speaker: wrestlers were released. this just came out this This just came out this morning. um Shayna Baszler was released from the company.
Speaker: Dakota Kai has just recently been released or was just released. This just came out. Yeah, this just came out today. um Katana Chance and Caden Carter, they're both gone.
Speaker: Cora Jade has been released. that is Uh, Cora Jade was on NXT. She actually was just on.
Speaker: Wasn't, wasn't she just on raw last week? Didn't she come out and interfere?
Speaker: And, uh, Braun Strowman was released again. So as of right now, those are the, uh, yeah The most recent releases in WWE. I'm sure a couple of them will be back. They do a lot of the releases and a lot of this, that, and the other thing. But... He's only there for like like three months.
Speaker: Well, he came back. and He came back, had a feud. Where is Bronson Reed? i don't know. Because they never... cause that Because he had... Bronson and them him had a rivalry.
Speaker: Braun Strowman was released. He came back in 2022. Strowman did.
Speaker: So he's been back um since. yeah I'm pretty sure he came. Because he left. He oh he got injured and he came back. Because I know he was gone for a while.
Speaker: I don't know. But he's... he's ah He's released now, as of now. So, I know we're a couple weeks out, but that's just our schedule here on Cassius Corner from WrestleMania. First and foremost, what did you think of WrestleMania?
Speaker: The first night, good the second night, the matches kind of got a little boring, except for like three matches.
Speaker: but the first night Yeah, the the the matches the the say I gotta agree with you first night was way better than night two and then the All night one was better than the main event of him ah night two.
Speaker: Oh Yeah, we'll get to that and we'll get to that here in just a few minutes You want to start with night one where you want to start at?
Speaker: like Start
Speaker: Let's go to the not-so-great matches to the best matches. Okay. Let's start off with the War Raiders and the New Day.
Speaker: they were They put on a good match. It just wasn't the best match. You know what makes that a snooze fest? What? This was Saturday night, and six days later, they had probably one of the top-tier matches TLC tag team championship matches I have seen in a long time on Friday night Smackdown that should have been in its place at WrestleMania and and of course the the new new day the boo day the track whatever the hell they call themselves now they won the tag team titles from the war Raiders but it was just yeah it was an impressive match because
Speaker: um The War Raiders, for those of you guys who don't watch wrestling, the War Raiders are both well over 300 pounds and they move around like luchadors or cruiserweights. They fly around the ring.
Speaker: They're doing flips. They're doing cartwheels. They're jumping off the top rope. That aspect of it was entertaining. I don't like this heel turn of the new day.
Speaker: They're different. They're kind of just being there. It's just them but not They're being babies.
Speaker: But um we all picked. Well, no, I'm sorry. Shout
Speaker: but shout out to our boy, Michael Copenhaver. ah Not a wrestling fan, but he was he was cursed um throughout WrestleMania because he was making picks as we were watching.
Speaker: For those of you guys who know, we had a ah pretty pretty crazy weekend that weekend. And it all happened here in my living room. Michael was here, Blaze was here, whatever. Cash was here and whatever.
Speaker: um Michael was going along and making picks, and he was not very good, as we will get to hearing in a little bit. Kind of like I like the whole thing, like two matches, maybe like three.
Speaker: No, he got this was night one totals. This was this was your totals for the so but yeah, everybody everybody except for myself had picked the the war Raiders in that one. So I was right. I don't like being right.
Speaker: I did the totals up there, buddy. This is night one. This is night one and that's night two. Those are the totals for night two. This is the total for night one. This is overall.
Speaker: This is like for both nights combined. Yeah. Um, But, yeah, I got to agree with you this probably This was probably the of night.
Speaker: But it was still a good match. And then
Speaker: and this is my opinion. Ray
Speaker: the sir um right Phoenix and all right i i whatever El Grande Americano Chad Gable And Jade versus Naomi I kind of thought the same thing of both of those matches think for me I would go with Jade and Naomi It was an alright match But there was a lot of hype And I don't think For me personally but We're going to go over to the Jade and Naomi match For me personally
Speaker: There was a lot of hype, and it just didn't deliver. We all knew what was going to happen. We all knew Jade was going to come out. Yeah. And completely dominate. And that's pretty much what she did. Yeah. They had a weather. I would actually put that as probably the, for me, I would probably put that as the worst.
Speaker: If I had to pick a bad match of the night, that would be the that would be the bad match of the night for me. They had little big weather channel. and like a little fake weather channel introduce jade coming out that was actually pretty cool her intro was pretty cool they had jim cantori which he's he's like one of the most famous weatherman on the weather network on the weather channel and it's one of those things like if he comes to your town you know you're fucked you're 100 fucked because all hells break it loose if jim shows up so that was pretty cool they had him outside the stadium and did like a weather report she came out her outfit was amazing she was
Speaker: she has She has the whole Storm gimmick going on from X-Men, and she looks great. Jade is gorgeous, and I love the Storm look that she has. It's raining again.
Speaker: Yeah, so that was pretty cool. It's just the match went as I thought it was going to go. Just the domination over Naomi. Naomi got, like,
Speaker: barely any hits on her. Mm-hmm. but She was out control for like maybe couple minutes, but Jake was controlling match the whole time. They're doing a much better job now ah sense with with continuing the story and and and and whatnot. since Because obviously it wasn't going to end at WrestleMania, but they're doing a really good job with the continuation of the story and building the storyline up to where they could potentially have another match. We'll have to wait and see what happens, but i don't know.
Speaker: It was a good match, but it was probably the worst match of the night for me. Which is tough, because night one was awesome. and then Then we're going to go to the Rey Phoenix. It was supposed to be Rey, but he got injured.
Speaker: Versus Chad Gable. el Chad Gable, a.k.a. El Grande Americano. There's this new dude that people are saying. I can't remember his name.
Speaker: Because... could In one of the matches with Kande, he has this tattoo on the back of his neck. And there's this other wrestler that has the same tattoo. Oh, really?
Speaker: So they kind of exposed.
Speaker: I don't know. Rey, Rey Phoenix, man, i'm so what a debut. What a WrestleMania debut. I can't, I'm put probably pretty biased because I am a Rey Phoenix fan. I'm a diehard Rey Phoenix fan, just like his brother.
Speaker: Penta. um But... I'm going to say shout out to Ray Phoenix and Penta because they debuted in WWE and are in And most of the time when you make a debut, they don't really get into wrestlemania right away yeah these two they're every match they put on a show if it's just like like an app match it's always a show yeah um i unfortunately ray did lose that match that was the one that was the one pick that michael got right it was he picked el grande on night one um
Speaker: But of course, you know, he had to cheat. He had to put that metal plate in his head. But it was a fun luchador style match. We also learned that ah WWE bought... Lucha Underground.
Speaker: Nah. Is that it
Speaker: Oh, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Speaker: You can go ahead and talk about the match. Which one were you on? ah Ray and El Grande. oh They did put on a good match.
Speaker: Can I remember that all happened? There it is. It was den announced WrestleMania night one, the pre-show. that WWE has purchased or gone into partnership or however you want to call it, Lucha Libre AAA worldwide.
Speaker: So, and currently on their rosters, WWE has 17, I think,
Speaker: um Lucha wrestlers. Lucha style. So with that, we get to see Worlds Collide, which is a Lucha Libre AAA event that they do. And they're actually bringing that to WWE, which will be pretty exciting. So that's where, you know, um unfortunately, Rey Mysterio got injured and Rey Fenix was picked to replace him.
Speaker: But all in all, good match. If you're into the Lucha Libre style, which I think, Cash, you're starting to get a little bit more into the luchadors. Flying around the ring, the mask, and and all that stuff.
Speaker: ever heard I feel like the more... feel like Rey's getting injured a lot. Well, Rey is also getting up there in an age. He's getting close to retirement. He's been around for like... Rey, I think he made his WCW... I think Rey Mysterio made his WCW debut when he was 18, think.
Speaker: So he was really young, 18 or 19. I think he was super young and he's been doing it ever since. So he's getting up there in age. he's you know So I can see Ray starting to maybe transition less out of the ring and maybe more as to like a manager type thing, yeah type deal where he's still involved and still can get involved from time to time, but maybe not necessarily a full-time wrestler.
Speaker: Yeah, kind of like, because he's got well he's got um dragon lee under his belt as a mentor you know he's mentoring dragon lee obviously ray phoenix um looks up to him you know i mean ray mysterio is is an icon in and luchador wrestling probably all luchadors right now are looking up to ray mysterio mean he's and if you're not saying brent like um okay
Speaker: what are we calling Like even if you're on SmackDown Yeah They might be still looking Oh, yeah right ray Ray is a goat Like I said, he's an icon And not only in the wrestling industry But also as ah as a luchador I mean, he's he's he's one of those guys that And he's a good dude, so um What you got next on tap Allie Knight versus Jacob Batu for the United States type of um chi
Speaker: Championship.
Speaker: Do you want to go say? i think That was ah surprisingly a really good match. Yeah. And I was shocked that nobody got involved. Yeah. I was really shocked that that was a ah clean match.
Speaker: ah Me and Wally got that right. We both picked. Yeah, Jake, but he came out on top. me Oh, guys, no breaks.
Speaker: And then I mean, Michael, you pick all night. Yeah, i'm I'm happy for you. I'm happy. I'm happy for Jacob. fatu I like Jacob. fatu I It looks like they're getting ready to push the separation of him and solo. And I hope so. I hope they do push.
Speaker: uh and jacob goes out and does you know does his own thing because i like you man he's fun as hell to watch the match was great i don't know what did you think of the match but the parts where i felt it because i was running around outside right there yeah the parts i saw they were really good and i started then i came in getting when i was getting towards the end and yeah it was it was a good match from the parts i saw both both Both Jacob Fatu and LA Knight are amazing performers in the ring. They put on a freaking show, man. They put on a match. It was fun.
Speaker: um It was entertaining. Like I said, shockingly, it was a clean match. I didn't think it was going to be clean. I thought for sure somebody was going to get involved and interfere. yeah But they didn't. Shout out to your new United States Champion Jacob Fatu.
Speaker: Fatu. a
Speaker: This is in my opinion. um want to do the Tiffany Shroud. Yeah, we'll definitely save that one for less. This will be a last one. Yeah, I'm going to save that for this.
Speaker: Okay, yeah. oh Tiffany for... food this like Tiffany versus Charlotte. ya Sorry.
Speaker: Yeah. Snore fest. Charlotte Flair for the women's. further involved Whatever the title is called. Women's.
Speaker: The WWE Women's Championship. Yeah. um You, me, and Wally all pick. Tiffany and Michael picked Charlotte. Picked Charlotte Flair.
Speaker: It's tippy time. I hate Charlotte Flair. I'm just going to say that. I won't go on another rant. I hate Charlotte Flair. I'm glad she lost.
Speaker: And guess who we haven't seen since WrestleMania? Charlotte Flair. Imagine that. She took her ball and she went home. mi Me, me, me. I lost. wait And we won't see her for another fucking year.
Speaker: And she'll come back and she'll be handed another fucking title check match. Stupid Charlotte player. Yeah. They put on a gun match.
Speaker: All the other things. It was a good match. Tiffy coming out in a Barbie doll little box. That was a cool intro. You know, there wasn't a whole lot of, like, super cool intros like you normally get at WrestleMania.
Speaker: um But Tiffy's intro was pretty cool. She come out, and they had a couple boxes, and she was and she was dressed up as, like, a Barbie, you know, had the whole Barbie thing going on. That was pretty cool.
Speaker: um So, but, yeah. It was a good match. Tiffy definitely... definitely perform man at wrestlemania and uh you know i i think so and i mean and it and it was ah and it was a good
Speaker: ah charlotte was a good person tiffy to go against at wrestlemania despite you know lover or hater uh it's one of those that solidifies tiffy as a quote-unquote champion this wrestlemania was they were four they'd use like cut like debut wrestlemania yeah because you had the i'm pretty sure tiffany was this was her first time so with ray phoenix um braun and penta which we'll get to their matches here soon yeah
Speaker: So, yeah, Tiffy won that. We all picked Tiffy, except for Mike. Yeah. Actually, I've, I've, I'll carry her first one, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but Tiffy came out on top on that.
Speaker: All in all, good match. Yeah. What you got next? We got the Jay versus Gunther for the World Heavyweight Champion. You, me, and Wally picked Jay, and Michael... Wait.
Speaker: Michael picked Frankenstein. Yeah, Frankenstein. so but That's what Blaze was calling him. Frankenstein. He looked like he could be at Universal Studios playing Frankenstein. The ring.
Speaker: The ring in a row. Gunta. Jay, I liked his entrance coming because they... I like his entrance because they came out like with yeet flies all around. Yeah. That was really cool. um Gunsler's entrance was just any other entrance he would do. my That was a really good match.
Speaker: I can't believe that they opened the show with that match. That was kind of disappointing, but that was an awesome match. They've always opened the show. WrestleMania matches with broad heavyweight.
Speaker: Not always. Usually the main... that's the For the past... For these two years, that's the ones that they've opened up the show with. Yeah, typically it's a main event match, but yeah nonetheless, it is what it is.
Speaker: But it was ah it was a hell of a fucking kick off to WrestleMania. That's for damn sure. Man, eight they really tore the house down, in my opinion. that was That really set the bar for night one. But J came out on top.
Speaker: When... winning the world heavyweight championship hitting gunster with four spear like three he submitted him he made him out yeah three usos flashes two on the belly one on the back um maybe four um and then put it put gunster in his own sleeper hold and made him tap out right away yeah gunther tapped out fast And we've been yeeting ever since.
Speaker: Yeet. Now. What's it say? One word. Four letters. oh Yeet. Is that how it goes?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And we've been yeeting ever since. It's a yeet party.
Speaker: so I know you were excited because Jay is one of your favorites. Yeah, he's my first. Cash was out there his Yeet glasses on. But they tore the house down. of this I feel like that should have been remaining good.
Speaker: Wally said do it. Do what? The Jey Uso.
Speaker: Yeah, great weekend of wrestling for WrestleMania. but Yeah, Wally said do they do the Jey Uso thing. What? What I just did. One word, four letters. Uh-uh.
Speaker: ye
Speaker: Why not? don't know. I don't
Speaker: know. You ready for the main event? I like that match. It was a fun match. I'm happy for Jay. I'm excited for Jay. They're already putting up him off in the field with Logan Paul.
Speaker: Yeah. yeah they're Fucking Logan Paul's a dickwad. well i called you a chicken well i called you a chiki but chicken uh yeah now the new feud with him and logan paul i i don't know man there's parts of me that likes logan paul but then there's parts of me where i'm just like really dude like get over your fucking self he says that he's so humble yeah yeah yeah logan paul um
Speaker: And then what do we got? Now we got the main event of night one. ah The triple threat, Punk versus Throne versus Roman. they They tore the house there.
Speaker: Yeah, they did. And I tell you what, this is probably going to be a match that's going to probably win the OMG Slammy next year and the what the fuck moment of the year. Because great match. Obviously, we all knew it was going to be a great match. We all knew, even though they they bumped the Jay out of the main event, we all knew that this was going to be a phenomenal fucking main event. You got three top caliber top guys in the industry that will put on a show and tear the house down with damn near anybody and you threw them all in the ring together and they fucking did not disappoint, man. They beat the hell out of one another.
Speaker: started the show, they kept the show off of a banger and the show off of a banger. Yep. Banger after banger, as Seamus would say. And not one, but two.
Speaker: But how? Yeah, two betrayals, two stabbings in the back. Paul Heyman would decide who he would be with, and he did see a poke. He would see a poke to go hit by the reins of the chair.
Speaker: Low blow by Paul Heyman. Then he that Paul Heeman gave the chair to Roman Reigns. went hit Seth Rollins in the back. And now they're going to blow bow by Paul Heeman Roman Reigns.
Speaker: He did his little... That was really weird. I like you. Like you can kind of... That was a whole... that it was ah that was a whole There was a whole weird thing going on with Paul Heyman doing low blows, but a double double cross man by Paul Heyman. We got a new Paul Heyman guy.
Speaker: We got two new Paul Heyman guys now, but yeah, man, a double double cross by Heyman. He, he sided with Seth freaking Rollins, man.
Speaker: And that, and then the Monday night after, um, also mania. Seth Rollins would come out and introduce a new Paul Hammond guy.
Speaker: That was a hell of an introduction because they beat that piss out of Roman Reigns and CM Punk. Ron Breaker was and now they're building something up.
Speaker: Yeah, they're building some kind of faction with Seth Rollins, Paul Hammond. They got Ron Breaker there like you just said, so Something is going Something is a brewing in the Paul Hammond world. And it's not looking good for Monday Night Raw. I'll tell you that. Because Sami Zayn, this past Monday, yeah he he felt the brunt.
Speaker: He got the hell beat out of him by Braun Breaker. And then got a stomp by Seth Rollins. Yeah. So overall overall, night one, what would you give it a grade of?
Speaker: Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten, huh? Just two boring matches which bumped it down. I can agree with you. I can agree with you. name If those matches were better, it would be a ten out of ten.
Speaker: I'd give it a nine out of ten myself. ah The standings after night one, because we all did our picks, Cash, Wally, and myself were all at four and three at nine and one on our picks.
Speaker: And Michael was that one in six. But in his in his defense, he he he doesn't watch wrestling anymore. um so he was he was just making picks based off of um they look they were yeah how they looked and stuff like that. But but overall, I would give nine out of ten. No, I got a five.
Speaker: now i got Before we go on tonight, dude, do you want to take a real quick break? I mean... do you just want to go right there? We can go right there, unless you want to take a break.
Speaker: We can take a real quick break. Okay. Alright, well, the boss says we're to take a real quick break. Because we we've done two things. We're going to do another two things. Okay.
Speaker: Well, how much time do you need? don't know. A little short. Maybe we'll just play. Huh? I need to fill a little phone.
Speaker: Well, I don't know what I can play. can't remember what I can and can't play. I'm just going to play your intro.
Speaker: That was weird. We just jumped out of the studio. But, all right. So we... Well, hi, boys. I thought you were your way to work.
Speaker: We're actually going to a real quick break. I think he needs to. That's fine. And then we'll jump right back in. Yep. There we go. That's what I was trying to do.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: This is the podcast. You can't be cash. Cash is corner.
Speaker: is called up
Speaker: And stop. And there you We're back. We're back. He did a potty break. I need to get a drink to the bathroom.
Speaker: The chicken had to go to the bathroom. yeah know I thought I had to be at work at one. hell I don't have to be at work in until two, so I got an hour to about an hour to kill, so I figured I'd jump on.
Speaker: Hell yeah. We're going to night or two at WrestleMania. And we're going to do the order like we did for night one.
Speaker: um For the boring, the most to the best. but i know we kind of talked about it a little bit, but before we get into night two, I can ask Wally the same thing.
Speaker: How did you guys feel about night two? There were only like four good matches. Like maybe. night Night two... Night one actually stole the weekend, in my opinion.
Speaker: It really really did. it the i feel like they could have done better with night two. But... Before we get to the... Stone Cold came about.
Speaker: Finishing into the barricade...
Speaker: Yeah, Stone Cold made an appearance on night two with his four-wheeler, crashed into a barricade, took a fan and and out. Broke three of the fan's fingers that eat when he hit the barrier. Yeah.
Speaker: She was even near the barrier. Yeah, that it it was good to see Stone Cold, but maybe, just maybe, lay off of the... ah Steve Weisers before you come barreling ass down to the ring on a formula. There was too many laps. Yeah.
Speaker: There's like two laps. Yeah,
Speaker: other yeah other than that, I mean, night two for me was kind of a kind of when I watched the replay of it, I was kind of disappointed, really.
Speaker: Yeah, like I said, I agree. Night two was just... ah there was There was a couple matches that were really good, but they weren't enough to save the whole show.
Speaker: but go I'm ready when you are. Where are we starting at, col Cletus? I want to start with the main event. You to start with the main event? you know Let's rip the scab off and start with the main event then.
Speaker: Sucked.
Speaker: yeah yeah there's not really much more you can say it was the only really cool thing that happened well i signed up cool thing that happened with trap scott coming out yeah i mean it you had this whole build up all with the rock and cena and and and and and and the rock didn't even show up after uh elimination chamber like Homeboy wasn't around at all, but you want to make like you want to insert yourself into the main event of WrestleMania and make sure everybody's talking about you. but you're not even i so I can't stand The Rock. I've never been a Rock fan.
Speaker: Did you see the Pat McCaffrey show when he had him on there, the reason he did it? It's by The Rock's reason why he did what he did.
Speaker: but I was laughing because hey because the way the lead, and we'll go back to Elimination Chamber, really the way they had the stories and stuff going for Elimination Chamber, it was actually not getting as big of a pop as it was until basically The Rock inserted themselves. This is what he was telling Pat.
Speaker: um Only reason he did what he did, so it just... it He's like, I had to build up the pay-per-view and everything else. But at the same time, I didn't want to interject in the storyline afterwards and everything else. And Pat called him out on He goes, man, you promised basically you promised everybody on live national TV you were going to be in Cena's Corner at WrestleMania. And yeah you pretty much pussed out on the whole ordeal.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, no, you sent fucking goofy-ass Travis Scott out there. Like I said, there was so... I mean, especially after the last two WrestleMania main events with Cody Rhodes involved, there was so much potential there.
Speaker: There was so much that could have been done. and and last year's WrestleMania main event was the best with Cody being involved in and I'm sorry. This WrestleMania... Yeah, this night one was night one was the best night. I wish that card on, as much as I hate to say it, for night one should have been night two, in my opinion, the way everything was done, man.
Speaker: Yeah, agree. And it was just, don't know, for me as a wrestling fan and and and and especially, you know, I've been, I've watched John Cena's entire career.
Speaker: I just was hoping for more. And and and I don't know about about you, Cash. what do you What do you think about the match? the mesh going ah and will just They could have done way better. They could have done that match at Elimination Chamber.
Speaker: Or they got done that they could have done that match at Backlash coming up this next weekend. or two yeah next weekend and And had the outcome the way it was. And it had been like, okay, this is perfect.
Speaker: Yeah, it would have set up leading in to more because the way they ended that match, I would have never, especially on the grandest stage of them all, something that fucking cheesy and stupid to end WrestleMania was fucking ridiculous. Even for John Cena.
Speaker: like Like you said, like me and you grew up fucking watching, you know, John Cena was the shit. And then to see him, them do the storyline like they did to end WrestleMania on a low blow with the ref not seeing it, that was just dumb.
Speaker: um And that was on everybody's part, not only including Cena, but Triple H and them. They dropped the ball with something that could have been huge. Well, like Austin, my oldest daughter, I mean, she's literally grown up her whole life watching John Cena. Right.
Speaker: And so, but I just, and I think that's the other thing, man. I know he's trying, but I just am like, I'm not buying him as a heel.
Speaker: No, it's funny but you got to look at it. What is it? 20, 20 some years now is basically as the face of the company. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker: You're going to, you're trying, basically he's forcing the heel side, but you can see whenever and in his promo senses, he wants to bring out the face side John Cena, but he's trying, he's trying too damn hard.
Speaker: He really is. What were you going to say, buddy? he I feel like the more he goes, a little bit better he's getting of Engelheal. Yeah, a little a little bit. It's just, i don't know, for me, it's just, it's it feels very forced and unnatural.
Speaker: Same here. same That's how I feel. Like I said, especially seeing him ever since he come answer the call out for Kurt Angle and shit, and basically Kurt Angle that night, it's like, you're the future of this, and and pretty much...
Speaker: he was the future, you know, he's been, been the face of the company and been a face his whole career. And this storyline is just, it's with him being heels, just kind of a joke.
Speaker: And there, I think at backlash, I'm going to bring it up now. They're going to, it's going to be kind of the same fucking bullshit ending. I think with the Randy Orton deal scene is going to cheat the win just to try to make, keep them relevant.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. But Christina came out on top. Me and Wally picked... Wrong. Yeah, it's the only thing that saved your ass, Glick, was the final match of the fucking night or we all three would have been tied. and
Speaker: a Wally picked Cody in. dad and michael picked cena yeah as soon as michael put that the mike curse on on picking cena i was like well i'm fucked it actually and it actually panned out for you so i mean for for a change it actually worked in your favor yeah mike had a much better mike had a much better night on night two with his picks but Yeah, I mean, overall, all just kind of it was a boring, bland match. ah not Nothing really too exciting.
Speaker: It just kind of played out the way it played out. What you got next? What's your next match? We're going to go to AJ versus Logan Paul.
Speaker: Logan Paul won. Yeah. um I picked that one, right? Yeah. And me, Wally, and Michael picked AJ. it was that That was a good match. I expected that to be a good match. you know Love Logan Paul or hate the kid.
Speaker: he He's fun to watch in the ring, man. He's naturally gifted. he's actually This is his calling. As much as I can't stand the motherfucker... and He put on one hell of a show, especially with AJ Styles.
Speaker: That was actually, my personal opinion, that was the second best match and night of night two, in my opinion. That one was. It really was.
Speaker: Yeah, and I expected it. I think Cash and I talked about it. We both, considering Paul and AJ were involved, we both thought that was going to be a good match because they're both great performers. They're fun to watch in the ring.
Speaker: I liked... I didn't like... that WWE didn't figure out a way to get Karrion Kross. Man, they got to figure something out with Kross. I fucking love Kross.
Speaker: heating I think he should be the one facing Jay, not fucking Paul. Yeah. Honestly. Jesus. Kross. And I know they were in his hometown of Vegas, and he was a little pissed he wasn't on the card.
Speaker: But he got his he got his little WrestleMania moment trying to trying to convince AJ to... I'd always be the good guy. It's all right to be the bad guy every once in a while. find the match I thought it was a good match. what about It was. It was kind of like a normal match.
Speaker: but it But it was a nice fast pace. You're good. We'll you later, bud. like gotta to go on wife he's here good you guys later um we see a letter but
