00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Hey, y'all. It's me, Tara Strong, a.k.a. Miss Minutes for Bama Geeks. I hope you're ready to watch, and if you don't, I will have to prune you. Stay on your sacred timeline. And a very good Saturday afternoon to you. Yes, it is. Yeah. It's WrestleMania weekend. It is. It is. And as you'll see, there are only two of us joining you for this live stream. I'm Brock Parker. That's my wife, Jess. It's me. It's just us, Oos. It's just us, Oos, on day one. It is WrestleMania weekend. But first of all, happy Easter tomorrow. Yes. Happy Easter as well. Yeah. So I hope you had a good, good Friday. Yeah. Good, good Friday. Yeah. A great Saturday. I'm sure it's a busy weekend for a lot of people, but. It is. Absolutely is. But we thought we would change things up a little bit. As you can see, Kevin and Bo were not with us. Kevin is nowhere near the state of Alabama right now. Kevin's far, far, far away from us. Kevin is so far away. so far away so far away and beau is uh you know tomorrow being uh being easter is also a very special day for beau it is his birthday tomorrow yeah so beau is uh doing birthday things with the fam and uh and celebrating and so uh a little bit different uh formula this weekend as we are As Jess and I are basically just, we're, we're doing, uh, we're going to church in the morning for Easter and, uh, we're watching wrestle wrestling all weekend. We've been watching. What did we do this morning? Well, we go, we watched SmackDown of course, last night and then the hall of fame ceremony. Which we did not stay up for. We did not stay up for that. Absolutely not. So we got up because they were going to show that about two hours or so. It was on air roughly about two hours after SmackDown went off. Which would have been midnight here. Yeah. That doesn't... I do good to make it to the end of the shows these days. So we got up this morning and we watched the Hall of Fame ceremony. Great Hall of Fame ceremony. There were certain things we had particular interest in, so we made sure we caught that. If you get a chance, if you've not seen Triple H's Hall of Fame speech, by all means, go check that out. Yeah, that was really good. Triple H did a really good job. Man, and his oldest daughter looks so much like Stephanie. Yes, she does. Wow. More so than the other two. I think the other two daughters have a good mix of him and Stephanie, but that oldest one, she is a Stephanie clone. Oh, hands down. Yeah. Hands down. But before we get into the rest of it, I want to encourage you to go to BamaGeeks.com. That's where you can find everything that you need to find about all of us. We've got our bios up there.

Yeah, if you want to become a supporter as well, then just go to BamaGeeks.com. All the info is there. So, I guess we can, like we mentioned, a big wrestling weekend. WrestleMania is here. Maybe we should have jumped the flight and gone out there. Cause I see tickets are getting very affordable. I'm sure they're more affordable the day of than trying to get, uh, when they go on sale, um, like most things tend to be sometimes ticket prices start dropping as it gets closer to the event. And they just want to, they just want to get butts in seats more or less. So pretty much. Yeah. I wish our butts were in those seats. That's, you know, the buildup for WrestleMania this year is not in my opinion, not been as good as, certainly wasn't as good as last year. Last year was just amazing. But yeah, still, I think it'd be great to go to WrestleMania. Next year is going to be in New Orleans. That is closer to home. Yeah, it's just a couple hours down the road. We're closer to home. Yeah, so we may attempt it. Hopefully, my son won't see this. We're going to try to surprise him. Yeah. He won't see this. He's too busy with his friends today watching the Minecraft movie. Yeah. And hopefully behaving properly. I hope so. No chicken jockey shenanigans. And the whole, everything you see, the buildup, you know, when you're, whatever town they're doing WrestleMania in, they have all kind of events that go on the whole week. WrestleMania, going into WrestleMania, you got, you know, WWE World, where you can have photo ops and autographs. And, you know, they kind of make it more or less their own little con event. going on prior to WrestleMania. There's also WrestleCon that takes place in whatever city WrestleMania happens, which is its own. You've got a lot of other wrestling people that are not WWE, but you've got a lot of other people, former WWE people, WCW, AEW. So you've got a good mix of wrestlers that tend to show up at WrestleCon. Yeah. And a few independent shows. Yeah. They have all kinds of things. If you're a wrestling fan, if you have the chance to go to whatever city, you know, a lot of these big pay-per-views take part in. There's a lot of things that are also leading up to those that are always look fun and fun to be a part of. Yeah. yes, we are, uh, eyeballing new Orleans. We haven't, uh, we haven't made any firm decisions on that, but we're not ruling it out. So we'll just see. Yeah. Neither one of us have been to a WrestleMania. Uh, we both went to bad blood last year. I've been to the two thousand and two Royal rumble. Um, those are really the only PLEs we've been to. Um, Raw is coming back to Birmingham on July fourteenth. We didn't think we would get a show this year. We were beginning to wonder. They're doing a lot of, um, overseas stuff, which is, you know, good because those people don't, they don't get to see it like a lot of us do. But, um, we miss you being around, being around home turf. So we get excited when those opportunities come back. Yeah. We went to five shows last, was it last year that we went to five? Yeah. Yeah. Well, and, and two, you know, the house shows, they've, they've cut down on the house shows. So that's a, we went to more house shows than we got a chance to see live events. And house shows were always fun because it brings a different energy. There's a different vibe to a house show. They kind of go a little more off cuff at house shows. They have more, not that they don't have fun with their live events, but there's just, there's a different energy that takes place in those, in those environments. So. yeah no commercials yeah no no yeah slowdowns for commercials it's just it's it's non-stop yeah those are a ton of fun we've gotten to see quite a few of our favorite wrestlers there but uh yeah so as as we mentioned at the top we we uh watched smackdown last night got up early this morning and and watched the uh the hall of fame ceremony which was really good yeah um And so we just... Lex Luger, also Hall of Fame. Yes. Going in this year, and he's going to be at Iron City Comic Con in Birmingham. So we're looking... Cannot wait to meet him. Looking forward to meeting Lex, especially after a lot of the interviews he's done, being inducted in the Hall of Fame. Now we get a chance to finally meet him when he comes to Birmingham. Yeah, and he stood up and did his speech at the Hall of Fame. That was... Man has had a life. Yes, he has. Has had a life and has had a one heck of a redemption story. And so we are really looking forward to meeting Lex. Yeah. Coming up at the end of May at Iron City Comic Con. So we also this morning got up and watched Stand and Deliver from NXT. I don't know if that women's four-way match was the final match. No, they just started the main event right before we came on. So Obafemi, Trick Williams, and the other guy. We're not as up to date on NXT. The other guy that's escaping my memory. Was it Wesley? Maybe it's Wesley. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, we did watch Ethan Page and Ricky Saints. It was AEW with a bigger and more involved crowd. And good for those guys, really. Good for those guys because they look great. And I'm so happy to see them moving on to different things, being used more, being put out there more. They're two talented guys. So I just can't wait to see what all comes with them now that they're part of the WWE. Absolutely. Hopefully, Ricky will have some sort of appearance at WrestleMania next year. This is going to be in New Orleans. Yeah, I hope so, too. Yeah, that'll be fun. Yeah. So what we decided to do today with Bo and Kevin not available to join us, we decided to jump on here today and kind of we're not going to be on here a whole long time. So but we wanted to. talk about WrestleMania and give our predictions today for night one. And then what we're going to do is we're going to come back tomorrow on Sunday at the same time and talk about what we got right, what we got wrong, any surprises that happened that that's going to happen tonight. We'll talk about that tomorrow again at two thirty central. Jess and I will hop back on here and then we'll give our predictions for night two. And so for our audio listeners, we'll combine today and Sunday. And then we'll just release everything into one podcast episode for Wednesday. And there's Kevin. Kevin says hello from Hungary. We told you he was nowhere close to Alabama. He is across the water. A couple of land masses over. So yeah, he's a, he's a little far away from us right now. Yeah. So Kevin, you got to let us know what time it is over there right now. It's two forty three Saturday afternoon. I'm sure it's probably in the early to mid evening for you over there. But yeah, so we'll, like I said, Jess will, Jess and I will jump back on here again tomorrow at the same time, talk about everything that happened tonight. Yep. Kevin says it's late and I'm about to head to bed, but I wanted to drop in and give kudos. Hey, kudos to you for, for being over there and having fun. I hope, hope you guys are having a great time over there. Cannot wait to hear all about it when you get back. So, um, yeah. Um, so tonight and we invite you, if, if you are, uh, watching in the chat or you're going to catch us at a later time, drop a comment, uh, be sure to leave a like, if you, especially if you're a wrestling fan, jump, uh, jump in there with a like and, uh, if you're in the, if you're in the live chat, we're going to talk about our predictions for tonight, uh, just for a few minutes and hop in here and give your prediction right along with us. We'd love to see it. Yeah. So are, I have not given this a whole lot of thought in the last day or two. I have been a little bit, Under the weather, Alabama's been eighty degrees during the day, forty degrees at night. So I'm fighting a cold. It's great. Yeah. If you know Brock, if you really know Brock, you can definitely tell in his voice. Yeah. Even though I like the sound of my voice. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To quote Booker T, shucky ducky. Quack, quack. Quack, quack. Quack, quack, baby. All right. So none of that. So what we're going to do, this graphic naturally comes courtesy of WWE, but it was all put together. I found it on Chris Van Vliet, his Facebook feed today. And so this is the night one lineup for tonight. And like I said, if you are in the chat and want to play along with us and give us your predictions about tonight, feel free to go ahead and do that. We'd love to hear from you. Mm-hmm. So, let's start down at the bottom. We know that Gunther and Jey Uso are going to kick off tonight. I don't know the order of everything else, except for the triple threat with CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns going to cap off tonight. As far as everything in the middle, I'm not sure. Yeah. But let's start. Jay and Gunther. What are your thoughts on this there, Midge? Jay's going to win. Jay, you got Jay, huh? Jay's winning tonight. Jay, I'm writing down our predictions so we can go back over this. You know what? It's a little bit obvious that Jay is going to win. Yeah. I mean, he's not, not only for the fact of it's Jay. So he is a big merch mover. He is, um, the, the fan, the, the, the way he is with the fans. Um, and then the fact that they, you know, they keep. Reminding us, or it keeps getting mentioned, he's never beaten Gunther. The storyline they've built between them. Jay kind of finally standing his ground with Gunther, letting him know that he's not afraid of him anymore. All this buildup, Jay's winning tonight. Yeah, I agree. And Gunther, does this propel Gunther into... a chase for the WWE title. We know he's the world heavyweight title holder on raw, but does this, I don't know, just with, if, if he loses, does this push him over towards chasing the WWE? Cause what else is left for him? I mean, much like, you know, when he lost the intercontinental championship, I mean, that propelled him to this. So, uh, very well could be. Yeah. Yeah. And Jay, uh, Jay's one of our absolute favorites. Gunther is one of our favorites. You know, we, Jess and I, we, we don't care if you're good guy, bad guy, healer, baby face. If you're entertaining and you are a good wrestler, we're going to like you. Yeah. And we love Gunther. Yeah, we do. He is, he is kind of the standard now for, for professional wrestling for us. I agree. Yeah. Jay, I think this is smart to open up the, the show tonight with Jay and Gunther because. like you said, Jay, Jay's a top merch mover, merch mover. And that crowd, every crowd loves Jay. And that's, that's going to set the tone. That's going to set the energy for tonight. I agree. That's going to get, I mean, if you want to, you want something to get the fans up, move and get that blood pumping and flowing, it's going to be getting him out to the ring. And of course, when he wins, it's just going to, I think it's a good, like you said, it's a good way to set the tone for the night. I hope so. I hope that's, you know, I hope that that's what propels everything between that and the end to keep the crowd there. Yeah. Yeah. There's, and I'm looking at one match on here in particular that may, well, two matches that may kill the crowd. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, everybody, hey, sometimes we need a snack break, a bathroom break. We kind of need to, you know, maybe kind of take it down just a little, you know, not kill the mood. But, you know, you do have to get up and do things in the midst of this pay-per-view. So that's what I'm going to take that as. And, you know, Jay, as Brock said, we are both huge Jey Uso fans. He comes from the Samoan bloodline, the dynasty. We've been fans of his father when we were in the Attitude area of Rikishi. Even going back as kids, we've watched, you know, his uncles. The Wild Samoans. The Wild Samoans. He comes from, you know, that to Rikishi. The, the five to bloodline and wrestling is just amazing. Um, it's, uh, uh, I love the stories of that particular family and, and their history and their background. Um, and not, not to mention Jay and Jimmy both played football in Livingston, Alabama, the university of West Alabama. So we got a, we got an Alabama connection to, we got some ties. Yeah. We got some Alabama ties to him. So that that's also good for our podcast. We could tie that back to, uh, Alabama that way. We give Jay the yeet, y'all. Yeet, y'all. You probably like that. Is Jay the best wrestler in the world? No. But is he fun to watch? Heck yes, he is. He's good. I'm not saying he's bad. Is he the absolute best wrestler in No, and he did work better as a tag team with his brother, but I'm glad that they have let both brothers go and do their own things and be their own person and go out and do stuff on their own like that. But that doesn't take away that I love Jey Uso. I'm a fan of Jey Uso. I want to see him win that championship tonight. Yeah, I do too. And I know they'll have Gunther involved in great storylines from here on out. That's just the type of guy Gunther is. That's the wrestler he is. He's fantastic. I've loved him since he's been in the company. Yeah. We cheer for him. Yeah. We cheer for him. Yeah. Big time. So we both picked Jay to win over Gunther this evening. Yes. So let's move to the match that's listed right beside them. It's this guy right here. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, I think we're kind of cut off. Anyway, I've got an LA Knight action figure standing right here. I don't know. I think Macho's cut off a little bit. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, I'm holding it by the head. Yeah. LA Knight and Jacob Fatu continuing on with the, the bloodline type of things. We have really, really become massive fans of Jacob Fatu, even though we both adore LA Knight. Yes. Hugely. That's my, my son's favorite wrestlers, LA Knight. Yeah. But Jacob Fatu has quickly become a favorite. That guy is agile. Yes. And he is intense and he is fun. Has one of the best moonsaults in the business. Beautiful moonsault. And a big guy moving like that is, is amazing. And again, here he comes. He's in that same bloodline as, as, as, uh, as Jay, you know, the Fatu bloodline there, the Samoan dynasty. So yeah, he's a, he's cousins. He's first cousins with Jay actually. Yeah. Yeah. And we love both of these guys. It's hard. It's going to be hard to make this prediction because I love LA Knight so much. But I think potentially Jacob Fatu is going to come away with this tonight. You think? That's what I'm going to predict. I'm going to predict Jacob Fatu. I'm saying LA night. Okay. Only because I think solo is going to be involved and he's going to cost Jacob the, the title from winning the title because they are kind of, they've been kind of setting up a little tension between him and solo and, Which is also Jay's brother. So you see how this family business is all in here together. But yeah, because, you know, Solo, when he broke off from Roman and Jimmy and Jay Uso and he started his own bloodline, he brought Jacob in, he brought Tama Tonga in. And, you know, Jacob was, I love you, Solo. I love you, Solo. And now, as Jacob's trying to, after Solo lost, Jacob's kind of the love for Solo has not been as strong as it used to. And I think that LA Knight's going to retain only because Solo's going to become involved and cost Jacob the title. and then it's going to set up that between him and Solo for what's coming up over the summer. I would predict that... I'm predicting that it leads into something with SummerSlam. I know there's backlash that happens after WrestleMania, but I think if they told a story, they could really build up to a good SummerSlam with this and have the two of them against each other. Maybe, you know... or who knows me, but I, I honestly, I'm going to keep with my prediction. I'm saying that night retains. And I think Jacob's going to win. And I think that's going to set up a program between him and solo going forward. Okay. And you know, I don't know if they're going to give solo the, you know, a chance to really hang onto that title. Solo is great. I love solo been a fan of his ever since he came in as well. Yeah. Um, A little bit of the luster's kind of gone off of him since he lost the tribal chief against Roman. Hasn't really felt the same. Right. But I think with Jacob and Solo kind of turning on each other, a little is what it's feeling like is I think that that potentially could be the setup ice night how you doing buddy hey hey happy saturday afternoon thanks for popping in yeah happy saturday happy wrestlemania weekend happy easter appreciate you being here we're just uh Yeah, Bo and Kevin are unavailable. Kevin popped in a second ago. Kevin's in Hungary right now. He's nowhere near the U.S., let alone Alabama. And Bo is doing birthday things. It's his birthday weekend. His birthday is tomorrow on Easter. So it's just Jess and myself hanging out. We're just chit-chatting and wrestling. So feel free to hop in there as well. All right, so you've picked L.A. Knight. I picked Jacob Fatu. Mm-hmm. Let's, uh, let's bump up. There is Jade Cargill and Naomi. Nope. I said, I wanted to be here earlier. He's in hungry. Lucky. I want to go. Well, I'll tell you what, see if Kevin's suitcase is big enough. Next time you'd be stowaway. Oh, Jade and Naomi. Um, Naomi married to Jimmy. Yeah. Yeah. That ties. We're continuing the bloodline thing here. We're working on a family tree here. Yeah. Jade. I have been a massive Jade fan. Jess will tell you. I have loved Jade since she got, since she was in AEW. Yeah. That woman has a look. And that look is just something that has enamored me. But her attitude and her look, there's something about Jade I truly, truly like. And so looking at this... I, it's been an, it's been an interesting buildup, you know, Jade got attacked, um, a few weeks ago and was laying on the car and set up the whole story of who did it. Yeah. She was in a tag team with Bianca at the time they were tag team. They were tag team champions, weren't they? Yeah. Yeah. And so it quickly became a who done it. And it was been revealed in the last two or three weeks, of course, that it was Naomi that. that did it. She was jealous, um, Jade and Bianca's friendship. And, uh, Naomi, you know, was quick to step in after Jade was attacked. She knows she was going to fill in and, and help Bianca carry the, the tag team titles. And, uh, I saw, he says, Jade, Naomi, one of the better storylines leading into WrestleMania. Absolutely. I agree. I absolutely agree. Uh, Naomi has, has turned heel with this. Proceed with caution. Yeah. She's all about caution strips right now. Caution tape. Yeah. On her outfits. Yeah. She's a Ghostbusters fan. Apparently. I, I, I don't know. I got mixed feelings on this one. Cause I like both of them. I think Naomi is a fantastic wrestler and, and Jade is, is just fun to watch and look at. Yeah. Um, she's just, she's just a statue esque woman. Very much so. Yeah. Um, I think, I think Naomi is going to win tonight. You got Naomi. All right. Yep. Writing that down. Only because I just think the beat down that she got when Jade came back at Elimination Chamber and just everything. I think I feel like Naomi's going to walk away tonight with the win on this one. You know, I, I do too, because Jade has had her number since, since she's come back. And I think it's, I think tonight's the receipt. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Ice night. Yeah. Cheap shot by Naomi for the win. Could be. I was going to say being the heel now she's a, she can, she could do something, you know, she could do something like that. I, yeah, necessarily. I don't think it's going to be a clean, a clean win. I think there's going to be some type of a cheap shot. I would agree with that. Yeah, absolutely. So as much as I'm wanting Jade to win, I love to see her get that WrestleMania win tonight. Yeah. I do agree that it's going to be Naomi just because Jade has, has had her number. Yeah. Um, let's go up, uh, one more on this list. Like I said, we're not going to be here for a very long time because we want to get back to watching wrestling too. They're going to have to start the pre-show here soon if they haven't already. Street Profits and the War Raiders. You know what? When they were the War Vikings, is that what they were called? Viking Warriors? Viking Raiders. I mean, they've changed up names so much. War Raiders, Raiders, Viking Raiders. I did not like that gimmick. I couldn't stand the Viking gimmick. It was... I don't know. It just, it felt out of place since they've been rebranded back to the war Raiders, which I believe they were an NXT under triple H, right? Yes. Um, since Eric and Ivar have come back as the war Raiders, I am enjoying the mess out of them. I think they're fantastic. they've become a lot better to watch. They are, they are incredible wrestlers, incredible big guys for sure. Yeah. They, they are fun to watch the street profits. I have loved, I think they've been entertaining. It's been, Oh, what was it? Um, When they came to Birmingham. It was when we went to Raw. Yeah. It was two years ago. Yeah. When Raw was in Birmingham and they came out and I was like, man, I want to get one of those solo cups that they keep shooting out. But Dawkins, I don't know. I don't know what it is. For some reason, I just like when Dawkins is just like, you know, stirring the whole thing. Just doing the stirring. I'm like, what are you stirring, man? What's in the pot? So, and of course, Montez Ford, Bianca's husband. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I just, I love them both. To me, they've always been entertaining. You know, when them trying to go through a change that they've gone through lately, it's kind of throwing them off. I kind of miss the old Street Profits. Yeah. Yeah. They've kind of, you know, went through the whole rebranding of themselves and the, you know, and their gimmick. So, yeah. yeah so we've we've got these two I I think the war raiders have been uh pretty good uh tag team champions uh street profits I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them hold the belts again I like both teams yeah like I said we're not we're not your typical iwc members your internet wrestling community no members we we really like all these peoples and and don't get into all the, you know, and I've got my slap bracelets on with the, Oh yeah. Well, let's say, yeah. Us title, us title. I'm sorry. I'm breaking up. Yeah. The us title. And then I got my tag team, uh, slap bracelets on. So what are the other two you got? Um, the NXT North American championship, which was on Ricky saints. Yeah. Ricky saints was on stand and deliver the idea. I got both the slap bracelets for the world tag team and the WWE tag team. Cause you know, okay. We're all in SmackDown brand. So yeah. And then the U S champion that we talked about. Yeah. Sorry. Didn't mean to distract, but when you're talking about tag teams, like, Oh yeah, I got my bracelets on by the way. Yeah. We're still searching. Those things are only like four bucks a piece. It's been real nice, but we need to find more. Yeah. But I don't know. I could go either way with these guys tonight. I don't think this is an overly intriguing match. This is probably one of the least intriguing matches for the night. Yeah. But I still like both teams. Who do you have, honey? I think the Street Profits are going to retain. I feel like they're going to retain. Are they the champs or is War Raiders the champs? They're the champs. When do War Raiders lose? I've been sleeping a lot lately. It was a couple weeks ago. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. You know... I mean we like these tag teams we do like these tag teams it sometimes you know we don't clue in as much but the street puppets are current yes okay I thought the war raiders were still the champs um you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with that uh because I think they've got they're the ones that that Tommaso and Johnny. Yeah. Same face. Yeah. Sorry, I couldn't help it. Johnny Gargano. Johnny Gargano. Yes. If you know what I mean by Johnny same face, then you know what I mean. So yeah. Yeah. If you're, if you're, if you listen to Jim Cornette, you know, he calls him Johnny same face. Ice Knight says, uh, oh, hang on a second. Ice Knight, uh, says heel face. I want them to show me that they belong. Tag team matches is snooze fest. And I used to love the tag division. I agree with you on that. That's what I was kind of, kind of talking about in a way. Ice Knight is this. I'd like to kind of see the tag team championship, kind of get back to what it was. Wait a minute. Tag team. I am absolutely in. They're facing New Day. They're not facing the Street Profits. Oh. This is what I get from my screen being this big that I'm trying to look in. Oh my gosh. We got a fail here. Sorry. I am an absolute. I can't say that either. Yeah. It's hard to see. Okay. That's right. They're facing new day and it just, and thank you to, uh, thank you to, you know, the deal. That's why we were confused because look, that's why we were confused at first. Cause like, but the street profits are there at the tag team champions on SmackDown. Yeah. okay this tells you oh my gosh this is embarrassing okay so yeah it's new day so okay thank you you know the deal thank you for jogging my memory this is I'm telling you I didn't sleep well last night and like you said uh ice night yeah the tag team division has been a snooze fest and this is how much we haven't really been paying attention You can tell which match already is going to be our get up and go to the restroom. So you know the deal says only way tag match works is if Big E makes a surprise entering appearance. That's true. Yes. Absolutely. Because now we are right on the right card. We're on a new day and the War Raiders. Yes. Apologies. Wow. We just showed some serious ignorance of not paying attention to which match was happening. It shows you how much investment we have in the tag team division of WWE right now. absolutely I know the tag teams I know the members of the tag teams wow we just lost every bit of our credibility we did so anyway so yeah only in tag team though yeah so yeah yeah absolutely I have never been a fan of the new day I will I will I will make that stand. I have not been a fan of the new day. And the thing is, is I don't like them as a team. I like them as people and as, as wrestlers. So that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I don't know. They've never really appealed to me. Like we go to dragon con and we'll see. Well, Austin is his real name. Yeah. We'll see him at dragon con every year. He's always around. Um, big E though, kind of feel a special connection in an unfortunate way because his last match, uh, where he got injured was here in Birmingham. Yeah. And so we were not at that show, unfortunately, but, um, you know, we, I don't know. It just feels like a connection to biggie and I do love biggie. when Kofi's been to Birmingham for surgeries before he spent a couple of, he actually, uh, he's, he, I read an article when he was, uh, out and recovering and had had surgery that, He loved Birmingham. He loved the people of Birmingham. He said it was the absolute nicest city. He had been in a while. Everybody was so helpful and friendly. So, you know, they've given us, you know, they've given us some love there. Yeah. But yeah, so. So War Raiders are the tag team champions. They're the tag team champions. Yeah, you're throwing me off my game, girl. They're the tag team champions for Raw. Street profits are the ones for smack, you know, honestly, I just wish belts would be unified. I wish we would just have one tag team champion. If we've got it for the women, we just do it for the men, but you know, whatever. So it gets confusing. It does get confusing as you witnessed in the stream. So, okay. So our predictions, new day and the war Raiders, I think new day is going to walk away. I think new day is going to win. Yeah. And I, I do think, uh, you know, the deal, I, I do think that, uh, I do think that big E plays a part in that, um, at least in, in, in the storyline, because he showed up for, you know, their, their tenth anniversary and then just disappeared again. We haven't really seen him, you know, in, in the entering stuff. So, um, is he going to wrestle ever again? I, you hope so. Cause I, I'm sure that he would like to as well. And, um, we'll see for certain, but, uh, yeah, we're, so we're both picking new day to win. Now that we're looking at the right card. This screen is so small. I can't, I mean, yeah, I'm just, I'm looking at a tiny screen. No excuses is ignorance. Moving on. All right. So let's move to the top of this graphic on the left side. Rey Mysterio versus El Grande Americano. Gracias. So have you heard anything else? Because they say Rey was helped out of the arena last night. There's video of him. Yeah. Yeah. I saw the video of Ray being helped down the aisle way from, from the ring last night on SmackDown after the show or after his match. I don't know. I don't know what Ray status is tonight. I have not seen it. I've been half awake all day today. Yeah. Um, so, but I haven't seen, hopefully Ray is okay. Hopefully this is kind of the storyline. They're wanting something to get put out there. So to give Ray kind of an out, if he loses tonight, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. The El Grande Americano gimmick, because you know that's not Chad Gable. That's Chad Gable. No, it's not. That's Chad Gable. No, it's not. That's been a lot of fun. We both like Chad Gable a whole lot. Chad Gable is funny. He really is. He's very funny. And so I really... I've really enjoyed his gimmick. I think he's going to come away with a win tonight. And I don't know how, and like I said, maybe if Ray has not heard that this plays into plays into it, but Ray Ray's an all-time legend. I mean, there's no denying that we just finally got to see him in person a couple of years ago in Huntsville when he came and Ray's amazing. Ray's our age. I think maybe even just a hair older, a little bit older. And look, man, I hurt getting out of the bed every morning. Ray. Yeah. Amazing. Amazing to be still going at his age. Like he is. Yeah. And, and I mean, you can't, you know, he just, he, he's still just as good as he was. And, and, you know, when he was younger, so. Yeah. So what are you calling for this one, honey? Uh, El Grande Americano. AKA Chad Gable, El Grande. I, and I think that's going to set up maybe some sort of feud with, uh, Ray Phoenix. Do you think Ray Phoenix is going to get involved somehow? I don't know. They wrestled last night. They had all the luchadors and, uh, you know, American made all that going on last night, you know, where the, the luchadors are kind of coming together against the whole, you know, Grande Americano gimmick kind of thing. So, yeah, I don't know. I feel like, I don't feel, I feel like Ray's going to, Ray is going to lose tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully that he's, if he's able to compete tonight, if it, nothing's changed on that. Otherwise, you know, El Grande Americano can just issue an open challenge like Randy's having to tomorrow night. Yeah. Well, one thing somebody was talking about, they think that there's been two people in the gimmick. We know primarily it's Chad Gable, but this guy pointed out that I watched that one of the guys they used in the show, grande americano get up he did not have a back tattoo and chad gable has a back tattoo that you can see yeah you can see it when he's you know normally when he's a normal singlet and everything and he's wrestling um this guy pointed out that and I can't remember which episode it was but it's kind of like right there in the beginning when he was just uh when they were just introducing him or bringing him out Well, Chad was giving a backstage interview at one point, and you saw El Grande Americano walk behind him. And Ice Knight, yeah, Ice Knight says that Grande Americano wins with an assist from Gable. That's what I was like. That's interesting. That's why I'm thinking somebody may be, you know, there's a reason why they've been doing that, yeah. Which opens up the question of who's the other guy. Right. You know, who is similarly built to Chad? Mm-hmm. But yeah, and it kind of makes me wonder too, what if they say, what if it comes down to Ray was injured, he can't compete. And then they have Chad Gable and another guy go up against, you know, the other guy, whoever's been, whoever's been wearing the suit. What if they put them together tonight? Now I'm, Does Chad have a twin brother all a Dave and Earl Hefner? Is this another undertaker under faker situation? Yeah. I don't know that that's, I mean, that's just, you know, talking about, I don't know that that's happening, but you have to wonder, is Ray injured? Is there some kind of injury angle that's taken place with this match tonight? Yeah. But we're both calling El Grande Americano. Yes. Okay. Whoever is in that suit. Yeah. Whoever's in the mask. Yeah. All right. So two more matches for tonight that we'll offer our predictions on. And of course, you know, the one I'm going to. reference first because we'll save the best for last and we're gonna save the worst for first um tiffany stratton and charlotte flair And we have a comment. Oh, we do. Yes. Expand to the screen. So, you know, the deal says the whole match. Ray will try and unmask Grand Grande Americano. Shockingly, I think Grande Americano will unmask Ray. Nice. You know what? That kind of makes sense to me because I have seen two or three brand new photos over the last two days on social media of Ray without his mask. So Ray is putting his face out there a little bit more. Maybe could very well be. That's, that's a interesting, I mean, good take on that. Yes. Of course, when nobody looks like from his WCW days, when they, that, that was not right. No, that was not right. Unmasking him. But, but yeah. Yeah. I saw him in a picture with like some dogs or something sitting in a recliner the other day. And I said, yeah, true. One telling his age. I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. It's, So maybe, maybe Ray putting his face out there in social media that maybe they might unmask him. I mean, that's a very good take. Yeah. I didn't think, I didn't think that that could be possible, but now that it's been mentioned, that's a, that's, that's really good. It's a really good thought behind that. Yeah. Okay. Well now, see, now my interest is, is there even more tonight? All right. So, and jumping back to the, the, uh, the women's title match, um, I have zero interest in this. I'm calling it the battle of the plastic. The battle of the plastic. The battle of the plastic. Charlotte, I have never liked Charlotte. I'm not a Charlotte Flair fan. And that's just because of, they just seem to slap the belt on her whenever she, A, she comes back with a new face every time she's injured. And B, whenever she does come back, she immediately gets vaulted to the top. Yeah. I don't like Charlotte. I don't like the way she's presented. I don't know it to me. It's a, it's, it's, it's that Nepo mentality just by being Ric Flair's daughter. Yeah. And I'm not in favor of that. And I'm not saying she's not talented. No, she is. She's incredibly talented. Um, She can do a lot more than I can, believe me. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not one to criticize because here I am and there she is. Yeah, we're on the couch. She's out there working. You're right. But it's just, I don't like the way that she just gets handed. It just gets handed to her all the time. And I say, yeah, Charlotte never works. It's always given to her. Yeah. Yeah. She comes back from injury to the Royal Rumble. She wins the Royal Rumble. I was not happy about that. Yeah. As were a lot of people. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, and to what, you know, speaking on that, I just think that, you know, Charlotte comes from that NXT group of Bailey, of Becky, of Bianca, you know, there were the, the, the four, the women, the four horsemen there in NXT, you know, they refer to them as, and you see people like, Becky, well, Becky's out right now. Becky will come back, but she's out right now. But still, you see Becky, you see Bailey, you see Bianca. While they're still working and doing their thing, they're also, I see them also as fostering and you know, starting to mentor the new talent coming in, the new ladies coming in, you know, passing the, start kind of passing torches to them. I've heard, I mean, I don't, whether they're true or not, I've heard statements made about Charlotte that she just doesn't feel like she should have to help anybody else out in a sense. You want to see the veterans help out the younger talent because we all get older and they're going to need to replace current talent down the line. Charlotte just puts off that vibe of She doesn't want to lose to anyone. Yeah. Doesn't want to be seen lesser than. Yeah. Or I don't know. Yeah. Ice Knight says the women's match needs someone from outside the match to come out and make a statement. Yeah, I agree. Uh, Tiffany, uh, Tiffany, I do like, um, I like Tiffany. I like Tiffany. I like Tiffany a whole lot more than I like Charlotte. Yes. Um, and I, I like the thing is with Tiffany, I really liked Ludwig. I love Kaiser. I love her boyfriend. Yeah. But Tiffany is very talented. She's, you know, very athletic and all. Um, she just doesn't grab my interest. Uh, but yeah, I, I'm hoping that she pulls this out. I'm, I, I really hope that Tiffany wins because Charlie doesn't need it right now, you know, especially with, and, and we'll talk about this tomorrow. Um, Cena is going to be going for number seventeen. And if he gets it tomorrow night against Cody, if Charlotte gets what this will be fifteen for her. Is she fourteen or fifteen right now? Anyway, if they give it to her this quickly, she's going to catch Cena's seventeen. If Cena wins, she'll get Cena's seventeen titles, you know, in the next couple of years, probably. Yeah. And his record won't stand for a long time. And I kind of want to see that happen. Mm-hmm. Um, you know, the deal says flare is the bathroom break match of night one. Absolutely. I can't argue with that. I can't argue with that. Absolutely. And just. And Ice Knight says, Tiffany, I like, but she's a placeholder for the time being. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with you on that. I mean, I like Tiffany Stratton. I like, you know, where she's, you know, she's made her place, you know, in the, in the main roster and has moved up like that. And I think she's going to be, you know, a good staple there for a while. And she's building, she's building herself up in this company and things like that. So she's, she's got a long way to go. She's, she's good. Yeah. she's definitely going to be a standout star for years. Oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And I, I think she's going to be earning her chances. Unlike Charlotte. Yes. Yeah. So I agree. Yeah. And the whole build up to this match to the promos have been horrible, have been the cringiest things I've ever had. The I've seen in a while, just the cringe that has that has taken place, especially in their last one. My goodness. Anyway, we won't go there. So but yeah, I'm going to hope that Tiffany I'm going to hope that Tiffany wins. I'll say Tiffany keeps the title. Yeah. I, and I hope so too. I really hope that that's because I think this was best for businesses at this point. I mean, they, they have to be, you know, creative people there within WWE have to have to see, what the fan reaction is for Charlotte right now. And it's not good. It's not a, Oh, we don't like her because she's a heel. It's we don't like her period. This is get this woman off of our, this is go away. He, this is, I don't want to see her. And, and, and I'm, and I am, um, I'm in that, uh, we have, uh, uh, It goes from the past. Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris. So Charlotte wins. All right. You know what? And that wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me. Charlotte is a company favorite for sure. But I really hope Tiffany does. Because Tiffany needs... Tiffany needs this a lot more than Charlotte needs it for sure. So, but we'll, we'll see them. And yeah, that, that little personal promo jab at each other was really terrible. It was off putting. It really was. Yeah. So, and Charlotte, you know, she got rattled. she couldn't come back yeah and we can talk about people coming back from being booed tomorrow night when we talk about things but yeah you know you see the difference if you and you know what I mean if you watched smackdown last night versus when they did theirs it's like you know you can have the crowd give you a reaction and it's how you do and what you do with that can you turn it around or do you do you totally flake out charlotte flaked big time she could She did not know how to come back from that or turn it back around. So, yeah. So we're, we're both predicting Tiffany. Yeah. Okay. I'm saying Tiffany. I am too. I just, cause I just don't want to say Charlotte wins. Yeah. All right. Our last prediction for this live stream is the big one that we're all waiting for because this guy right here is going to be Oh, that wise man. He's going to be in our guy's corner. Well, they're all three. I know they're all three. My guys. We, we love Seth. We love punk. We love Roman. And, uh, we love him. We love Paul Heyman. Yes. So let's, let's talk. First of all, our prediction for who Paul is going. We know he's going to be in the corner tonight during the match with punk. Who does he leave with? Well, there is a theory going around that he walks out with Seth. It certainly seems that way. Seth Rollins has made the wise men think recently. You can tell the wheels are turning when Seth's been talking to him. Mm-hmm. Or maybe Paul just walks away. Who knows? But I don't think that he walks away with Punk or Roman tonight. I don't either. And, you know, Seth would make more sense at this moment as a heel. Mm-hmm. And he's been showing a little bit of those tendencies lately. Yep. And Paul is much better always as a heel, as much as we love him. Mm-hmm. Uh, like I said, uh, earlier in the stream, Jess and I are two people who love wrestlers just because they're wrestlers. We don't care if they're heel or baby face. Well, well, I was cheering for Naya Jax at a house show. She was getting the heat. I mean, we didn't, we didn't care, but we cheered for her opponent as well. Um, was it Raquel during, during the. I think one of the house shows. Yeah, I think so. Sure. For everybody. I like them all because they they are entertaining. But anyway, Paul works just so much better as a heel. We love him regardless. And with Seth showing a little bit of the heel tendencies lately, that that's got my my brain going. Yeah. Maybe walks with Seth and because Romans, you know, Romans limited. He's got limited amount of appearances. Yes. Punk's going to be there. Uh, Seth's going to be there. So for me, that's how I'm thinking that Paul is going to walk out with Seth. Yeah. They were sitting awfully close at the hall of fame too. Yeah, they were. Yeah, they were. Take that for what you will. And maybe that's because Seth was not giving a speech unlike Punk. Punk introduced Bret Hart and Steve Austin's Immortal match at the Hall of Fame last night. Who knows? So as far as a prediction goes... We both predict that Paul's going to walk out with Seth. I think Seth is going to win tonight. I think Seth's going to win. I predict Seth. As much as I acknowledge my tribal chief and love my CM Punk, you know, I also sing Seth's song. We sing them all. I mean, I throw up my ones. You woe. I woe. I sing. And culture. I mean, I'm, I'm all about all three of these guys. Yeah. We, we jam out the cult of personality. So, um, but I, I have a strong, strong feeling that Seth is going to be the one that walks away tonight as the winner. All right. So you're picking Seth and you know what? Honestly, I am too. As much as I want punk to win. Cause I always want punk to win. Yeah. Um, Yeah. I think Seth is, is, is a blindingly clear choice. I'm curious to see if they, if they swerve everybody. I would love a good swerve. I would love something else to. Yeah. Yeah. A swerve when I drive. Yeah. Oh, Jess Nana over there. Yeah. Um, yeah I and and also Seth's come out on the losing end with Punk a number of times yeah um and the only you know the only thing that kept him from losing you know the the cell match was that Roman come in and you know well the only the reason he won I say that you know he came away with what he did with the cell matches because Roman got involved so Yeah. And you know, Roman's going to, it's just Roman. And like I said, his number of engagement, Roman's going to disappear probably after WrestleMania for a bit. As he always does. Yeah. And, and so it makes sense for Punk and Rollins to continue their feud. Yeah. So. Uh, ice night says a match where I don't like any of them. Okay. Boring punk, former paper champ brains and forgettable Rollins. But if I have to choose, I want punk to win, but Seth will win. All right. So your, your prediction is the same as ours. Okay. And, uh, Hey, I know not everybody's a fan of punk. Not everybody's a fan of Roman. And I don't know if people would consider me a mark, but I like to think that I'm a mark in the good sense, not in the negative sense, the positivity. I am the mark that... I like to be it doesn't matter really which wrestling promotion it is I I like storytelling I like um I like things that will allow me to become invested into something so you know I I try to if if I'm called a mark I hope I'm seen as one in the positive light not the negative yeah storytelling is is what's so key about us being wrestling fans There are a handful of wrestlers that we genuinely don't like, Charlotte being one of them. In AEW, cannot stand the Young Bucks, cannot stand Hangman Page. The Boar Horseman. Yeah, cannot stand Jon Moxley. worst wrestler in my opinion, right. Going right now. Do not, but you know, that that's a discussion for another promotion on another stream. We're talking WrestleMania. Yeah. We're not going down that rabbit hole or that tangent. We're going to stay focused on the WrestleMania here. Yeah. So, okay. Well, we have our predictions for the night. Um, if you're just joining us on the live stream, uh, both of us to pick J Uso to win, uh, I picked Jacob Fatu to win. Jess picked LA Knight. We both picked Naomi. We both picked New Day. We both got El Grande Americano. We both have Tiffany and we both have Seth. Jess and I did not discuss any of this. No, no prep before this. Yeah, I told her last night, I said, do not tell me who you're going to predict. And this just proves how much we think alike. We think alike. We think the storylines are going to be similar going forward after LA Knight and Jacob Fatu, but different outcomes in order to make that happen. Yeah. So anyway, uh, we've been here for about an hour. And we've enjoyed chatting with you. Thank you to everybody in the chat who has participated. Ice Knight says, now we get to turn WrestleMania into a shake and bake and see what pops out. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. We're looking forward to spending the rest of the evening, rest of the whole weekend. You know, we'll break in the morning for Easter service, but then right back into WrestleMania mode as soon as that's over and after lunch.

I hope you took the opportunity to get to Lake. Balaton. Is that right? It's like it to me. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure where that is. Um, I'm guessing it's in Hungary, but, uh, Jess, what about, what do you think about, uh, the first night of WrestleMania? Well, I mean, it was, it was good. It was, uh, definitely, uh, the first and the first match and the last match as predicted were the most, uh, exciting to me. Uh, the ones I look forward to the most. It was a good night overall, I guess. Night one. I'm happy with it. I'm satisfied. Yeah. Of course, you know, there's always critics. There's people that feel different. And if you feel different about it, you know, hey, that's your opinion. That's how you feel. And you're entitled to that. But overall, I enjoyed the first night. Yeah. I thought it was a decent show. It wasn't the best WrestleMania that I've seen. But it opened up. I thought with a pretty decent match with Jey Uso and Guther, Jey winning his first world championship. Yeah, our prediction was correct on that, of course. Yeah, we did all right on our predictions. Of course, I'm wearing my Waffle House wrestling shirt in honor of Jey. I wore his Yeet shirt yesterday. I was going to wear my CM Punk shirt, but since Punk didn't win. but that's okay. Cause punk was okay with it. Cause he was laughing and smiling after the match. Oh yeah. Yeah. He was laying on the mat. He, uh, you know, he got his main event. So yeah, absolutely. And I knew, I knew he wasn't going to win. I mean, yeah, we called it. Yeah. So we'll get, I guess we'll get around to that, that prediction and that, uh, those comments that we've got on that. So yeah. Yeah. So, uh, Jay Uso defeated Gunther. We got that prediction, right? Um, yeah. And then just looking at the rest of the things that I had written down, Jacob Fatu won the U.S. championship away from L.A. Knight. I got that one right. Yeah. Jess did not. And that's OK. Yeah. Naomi defeated or Naomi did not defeat Jade Cargill. Jade won that one. That's the one that we both got wrong. We both had Naomi winning that one. We both correctly guessed that the New Day. would wind up winning the tag team titles away from the war Raiders. Yeah. Um, El Grande Americano, uh, wound up, uh, we had the stream yesterday. If you go back and watch, we talked about, you know, if Ray was going to be, if Ray Mysterio was going to be okay enough to take part. And as soon as we finished the live stream, uh, two things, WWE announced that they were buying, uh, AAA, the Mexican Lucha Libre organization. They purchased them. And during that same announcement, Rey Mysterio announced that he was injured and would not be able to wrestle. So Rey Fenix, another Rey, stepped in. Yeah. I mean, he just got to, he just made it to WWE and now he's in WrestleMania. So good for him. Yeah. Like two weeks ago. Good for him. He showed up and we, we really liked Ray and Ray Phoenix and Penta when they were in AEW and very happy to see them in, in a WWE now. And like I said, Ray Phoenix, right out, right out of the gate, two weeks into the company WrestleMania match. But, uh, I thought that was a fun match. Excuse me. And then Tiffany Stratton, thankfully. Thankfully, the android did not win. Thankfully, Tiffany Stratton won over Charlotte Flair. And boy, Tiffany's teeth got jacked up. You know, and it certainly looked like that Tiffany chipped a tooth. But a lot of people were saying, of course, in the press conference afterwards last night, her teeth were back to normal. I don't know if they like stuck some super glue on something, you know. put a fake tooth up there really quickly, but it looks like it was just maybe some blood cause her, her lip was bleeding quite a bit. Yeah. um during that match so yeah they got they got pretty physical I mean there was uh there was one uh spot in there that it looks like they were really throwing some hard hands on each other so yeah yeah hey john welcome into the stream it is tippy time for sure john says it's still tippy time thankfully we are we are not charlotte flair fans so we are very happy that uh that tiffy uh took that belt home and an appropriate entrance for her as the barbie so yeah yeah ice knight yeah there yeah yeah ice knight yeah absolutely great entrance for tiffany that was a fun entrance yeah and probably my favorite entrance of the night up until seth rollins Seth was just the way they utilized the video screens for the entrances was really, really cool. And even with Jade Cargill. Oh, yeah. Jade's thing. It started off as a silhouette of the top level of the set. With Jim Cantor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel. It's like, oh, it's a storm. There's lightning over here. And then the big silhouette on the screen that came down like an elevator and the doors opened and there was jade. I thought that was pretty cool. That was good. That's a nice set they had. I was curious about it when I started seeing the pictures of it, but... that they did a really, really cool job and getting people to sit in the seats in the, in the, the entrance there was something new. I don't want to know how much those seats cost. we'll never be able to afford them no that's uh definitely a uh that's definitely a dream seat but you know I mean it's it's I wonder how they were dealing with all that pyro around them and stuff last night so it wouldn't phase me I'm half deaf anyway so it was all good yeah stage setup was fantastic yeah the stage was like a great big casino and then the way they utilized the the uh the screens and all was really really cool yeah like that a lot but uh But yeah, I guess the only other match really for the night was Seth Rollins versus CM Punk versus Roman Reigns. That was definitely the defining match of, of night one. And it was fantastic. And yesterday during our stream, Jess and I, you know, we were like, is, is Seth going to take Paul Heyman away? And sure enough, that's what happened. And just Seth started over the last couple of weeks, making a lot of sense for Paul, you know, you know, his promos leading up to this match have been, they've been some of the best promos that he's cut in, in quite a while. I mean, the whole thing really, I mean, really honestly to all that he's done related to this storyline between Roman and punk and himself, he has cut some of the best promos that he has in a long time. Yeah. And you know, when you get a, when you get Seth or Roman or punk in there, you're not going to have a bad match. You get them all three in there together. It's going to be a great match. And that's exactly right. what happened. John says it might be another four hour show tonight. Absolutely. Yeah, I would think so. They definitely got a stacked card tonight. So yeah. And, and we've got our popcorn ready. We've got our, I've got some chips and guacamole and yeah, I mean, we're good. Hey, we know how to, we go ahead and get everything prepared so that, so when it's showtime, it's showtime and we're, we're here, we're locked in. Absolutely. Ice Knight says, just seemed like it was easy to tell what the ending would be with Rollins. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. It really started to lean that way. And honestly, I think that was the best way to go, even though it was a little predictable. I, Paul Heyman works better as a heel. Yeah. I love Paul and love his work. You know, he's, if he's a good guy, bad guy. Absolutely. You've always loved Paul Heyman. I mean, And just having, having that feeling that yes, he was going to be leaving with Seth, but I was still, you know, just seeing the way it played out, him getting the chair and giving the chair to punk. And then make it look like, you know, oh, well, he's, he's betrayed Roman. No, he's betraying punk. Then Roman gets, you know, had all played out the sequence. I liked, I liked that. And then by the time he gave the chair, you know, when he walked up to Seth said, you know, had his back to everybody and he just reached out, you know, so it's like, okay. Yeah. You know, this is all, this is all in their scheme. They all, you know, decided they had all had this, you know, arranged. So. And I'm sorry you were grabbing your, your wise man figure there. No, don't, don't be sorry about that. I'll happily grab the wise man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love Paul Haven and I keep him on my desk with me. So yeah. Next to him is LA night. So I'm really interested where they're going to, what storyline they're going to stick LA night into now. Yeah. Night, I think needs to have a run somewhere at some point for a, world title shot it may not be now but um you know there's a lot of ways they can go I mean who knows how long you know for the world heavyweight title who knows how long jay's gonna hold on to that right you know so there's going to be some interesting storylines I think coming out over especially with the summer with all that but Yeah, we didn't do too shabby on our predictions. I missed one, Jess missed two. We got everything else right. And I'm looking forward to tonight. to see, um, and, and before we moved on to tonight, I was just going to say again, with the entrances that come in, especially with the triple threat, um, the three of them, I think they all had phenomenal entrances to the stage last night. Um, of course we talked about, we were talking about Seth, we're coming out with the flamethrower and then made it look like he was burning, you know, burning the stuff down and everything with the, with the flamethrower. And then, uh, And then with the change, and I was like, what does he got on a trash bag? Huge trash bag he had on last night. But he did wardrobe change into all white to proceed down to the ring. Romans, I liked Romans with the pictures of the Samoan dynasty, of his father, of his uncle, of Rikishi. Yokozuna, you saw the pictures that were in the, and the little screens that were above the ramp as he was walking down. And, uh, I saw a picture today. Somebody got a good shot of, of Roman with his father's picture behind him. So that was a wonderful, that was a great shot. Yeah. And then of course living color, you know, they, they, I'd seen that they did say they were going to be in Vegas WrestleMania weekend. I was like, well, they, that just, they got to get them on stage. I got to get them to play punk in. And, sure enough they did and you know paul was playing right along with him and threw the watch out in front of him and then kissed him on the forehead and we were like oh man that's yeah that was a kiss of death we were actually in the chat with in a private chat with beau um and I was like dang it paul He's going to turn on Punk. There's the kiss of death as they're heading down. Ice Knight says they should kick Knight up for a world title. It's an easy grab now. Absolutely it is. And the Knight has dropped every title quickly. He has. They have moved him on rather quickly in his title runs. Yeah, and he's over. People love him. So I hopefully will... hopefully they'll, they'll give him some, some good runs, some lengthy runs, um, where, you know, as the story deems, uh, necessary. One thing with Roman, you know, uh, Roman has now, you know, he has stated before that his job is to elevate the bloodline. Mm-hmm. Look how many titles now. Yeah. I mean, Jay is the world heavyweight champion. Jacob is the U.S. champion. Who else we got? Right now, that's it as far as what's in the bloodline currently. But those two got titles last night. Roman has lost the bloodline. Roman has now lost his wise man. Yeah. He's all alone now. So is the bloodline story over or do we now see the rock coming back and getting furious with Roman because he's, he's basically lost the bloodline away from him. You know, um, could be, you know, is, is, is, does Roman losing Paul and. and losing essentially the entire bloodline now set up an angle for WrestleMania. Well, and Roman and rock. We've also, you know, heard that there are other members, uh, that are coming up. That'll be coming up into the WWE soon. There's rumors of Zilla, Fatu, Hikaleo, Hikaleo. So, um, Lance and Hawaii also as well. There's, there's a couple of, names that have been floating around as to whether they're going to join the WWE soon. They're coming up. They're their own independents right now. They're all out in independent promotions right now. Jeff Cobb? Jeff Cobb, yes. Jeff Cobb's another Samoan that's been recently signed. There's always this talk that there's going to be another bloodline built. Could they build another bloodline? They could. Maybe Roman comes back... Cause you know, he's going to take ideas. He always takes a break after WrestleMania. I'll be shocked if he doesn't, but, uh, you know, who knows? He might come back with reinforcements. Yeah. I don't know. So, you know, solo may end up going back to him. Yeah. Who knows? Ice Knight says, were they given the titles because of Rikishi's complaining? They just don't want Rikishi's stink face, man. He's been pretty vocal, hasn't he? We had a chance to meet him at Dragon Con last year. Lovely guy. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting him. That was a cool moment. But, uh, yeah, who knows if it's because of Ricky, she's complaining, but I, I'm going to lean towards rocks. Just go and get mad at Roman for letting all these things for, for letting his leadership wane. That match is coming. That match between rock and Roman is coming. Yeah. And, uh, didn't play out like they wanted it to the last time, but, uh, you know, there's still, there's still store. There's still something there to build on. And that story, that storyline, that match is coming at some point. I mean, I'm curious to see if anything of what has, what transpired last night is going to play into tonight with tonight's main event. I mean, that's a story waiting to happen right there. There's, there's the rumor that there's a third man. Yeah. And we'll, we'll, we'll get to that when we talk about, uh, talk about tonight. Uh, do you have any other thoughts on, on last night? No. Um, no, I think I've just kind of summed it up nicely. Okay. Well tonight, of course, uh, in just over three hours kicks off night two of WrestleMania, uh, So let's bring up some predictions here. And if you're in the chat live with us, throw in your predictions as we talk about these. We certainly love to hear your thoughts and ideas. Let's see, where do we want to start? You tell me, Jess, which match would you like to start discussing? Let's save the main event for last. Yeah. Let's just start at the top row there. We've got AJ Styles and Logan Paul. All right. So I've got my trusty pen and paper. And if you're, if you're following Bama geeks, uh, at Bama geeks on Twitter slash X after every match last night, we were updating our, our prediction results. Um, and so we'll probably wind up doing the same thing again tonight. So, all right. So AJ styles and Logan Paul, where do you, where do you sit with this? Uh, And we have not discussed this between ourselves. We, we may agree. We may disagree in a lot of these. I just, I have a feeling it's probably gonna be Logan Paul, but it's not going to be a clean win. Logan's a dirty player. Um, but you know, I, I'm going to say Logan Paul as much as I don't want to say Logan Paul, but. You know, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna agree with that. I think they give Logan a WrestleMania win tonight. Um, I'd much rather see AJ win it, but I don't know. There's just something. Yeah. Ice Knight. Yeah. Paul takes this one easily. Unfortunately can't stand Paul and we're, we're right there with you. Yeah. Love AJ. Don't like his music. Brock doesn't like his entrance things. To me, it doesn't fit AJ for some reason. It's more or less his accent because he's from Brundage or Bainbridge, Georgia? Gainesville. He's from Gainesville? Yeah. They bill him from Gainesville. Okay. So it's just north of Atlanta then. Okay. So, um, yeah, uh, I don't know. I just, I hear him talk and then I, I hear, I hear his music and for some reason in my brain, it just doesn't jive. Well, there's a lot to be desired about entrance things these days and wrestling. Yeah. Yeah. They, uh, they, they need a WWE needs an overhaul of some interest things. Some are, are iconic. You can't get rid of, but at the same time, there's some, but anyway, I digress. That was a tangent. Yeah. That's what we're known for in this podcast. Yeah. Get back on track here. Yeah. I think Logan wins it. Um, AJ is going to be winding down his career before too much longer. He's very much alluded to that. Um, and Logan, you know, Logan is not a long time, uh, participant in WWE. Uh, even though we don't like him as a personality, can't deny his athletic ability. I was going to say, I, I will give him that he's definitely, he's cut. He's definitely put in the work and it shows. I mean, he's, he's got, he, he does fine in the ring. His matches are his matches as far as his work and everything is good. I like watching him. Yeah. I like watching him. I don't like him, but I like watching his matches because he has done so much, uh, so well in such a short amount of time. And I side agrees. Yeah. In fact, Jess, today's entrance music is blah. Yeah. It's a, it's a lot. It leaves a lot there to be desired. Yeah. And I tell you, and the, one of the things we'll talk about here in a minute is Bailey. I cannot wait for them to change Bailey's music. Bailey's music is atrocious. It's horrible. Uh, the worst. Yeah. But yeah. Um, so we're, we're agreed. Logan's going to take this one. All right. Sad as that may be. We'd rather see AJ. Yeah. All right. Where do you want to move to next, honey? Uh, let's just, uh, move on over to the women there. All right. So I think this is the opening match tonight, correct? Um, it probably is. I I'm sorry. I have not seen the, I have not seen anything about as far as line it, but I would imagine that this is probably going to be the opener of the show tonight. Yes. Uh, ice night there. I yeah. Jim Johnson's work was, uh, was pretty good there. So yeah, I've got to all the old, you know, I had all the old CDs and everything back in the day. So yeah. Love some Jim Johnson for sure. A hundred percent. He could put together. Yeah, they really need to hire. They need to get rid of Def Rebel and hire somebody else like Jim. Yeah, for sure. All right. So Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair and EO Sky. I love all three of these women. I love every one of them. Bianca, I'm sorry. I'm going to give a hot take on Bianca. Okay, go ahead. Bianca, as far as a wrestler, she's fantastic. She's talented. She's definitely a top notch wrestler. Yeah. She's a little cringy on the mic. Her promos leave a lot to be desired. I'll chalk that up to the fact she went to the University of Tennessee. that's that's my only grudge against her yeah I'm not a fan of her promos but as far as her work goes she's fantastic yeah but as far as entrance music this is bianca still to this day uh yeah her interest music is one of the ones I will visibly break out the white guy dance too I love this thing I love her music yeah every time we see her in person or every time she comes on i I'm on my own. I mean, she's got a great entrance into the ring, the music. It gets you excited, gets you into it. But when homegirl takes a mic and starts talking, I'm just like, yeah. And Jess and I, I mean, we both like EO. EO was fantastic in the ring. But we are Rhea Ripley fans to, as we used to say in the eighties, to the max. Yeah, to the max. Yeah. We adore Rhea. Rhea is so much fun. She is an absolute star. Love that girl. Yeah. So, as always, ladies first, I'll give you your time to... Um, I'm predicting EO to retain tonight. All right. Uh, I just think that, uh, I mean, she's kind of the, just watching the buildup to this. Um, you know, Rhea and Bianca have made it, excuse me, more about themselves and has been disrespected and disregarding EO and disrespecting her and pie facing her. So, um, I think he was going to walk away tonight, still the champion. And this is going to build something between Rhea and Bianca. And this is where I'm going to depart from you. Okay. And I'm going to agree with Ice Knight here. Bianca wins. Not sure how. And he also says, Ripley, I'm asking, why is she there? Short answer to that is because she is the star that she is. Yeah. That's why Rhea's in this match. I mean, I totally agree. I really don't think this should have been a triple threat when it was all said and done. I mean, it was... It was set up as Io versus Bianca. Yes. And that's the way it should have been. But Rhea... going to give ria her wrestlemania moment yeah just because of the how over she is yeah but I do agree bianca wins and the reason I say bianca wins is because naomi and jade I I think there's I think that gives those two something to chase with bianca and and just continuing that story okay but I can also see eo because eo has been so disrespected I mean they get ria and bianca get in there and start gnawing at each other and push poor Io in the face. I mean, she doesn't deserve that. And David Roscoe, thanks for joining us. Hi, David. Happy Easter to you too. Bianca Belair will win the Women's World Championship and John Cena will win the seventeenth WWE title. Okay. Well, we're on the same wavelength, my friend. Absolutely. Absolutely. And we'll, we'll, we'll get to John in just a little bit, but you've got EO winning the women's and I've, or I'm going with the keeping the women's and I've got Bianca. Yeah. Okay. I think I, and Rhea, this just gives her something to chase instead of holding it. Yeah, she needs to chase for a little while. Yeah. I think she's... I mean, she was a great women's champion. But sometimes, as... I'll probably repeat this statement, but sometimes the chase is better than the retention of the championship. So... anyway moving on we'll get to that that's my statement there and I'll probably repeat that statement a little later yeah it's just like cody's chase cody's chase was phenomenal he has not been a bad champion in my opinion though I love we both love cody I mean this that's the woman right there that at the last house show we went to security was telling her to get out of here and she's like nope I'm gonna meet cody and she did I stood my ground. Okay. And I got my, I got my picture. So yeah. Yeah, and Ice Knight says, see Shawn Michaels about the chase. Yep, absolutely. I wish we had that photo very quickly. You know which one I'm talking about. Yeah. Fun fact, Ice Knight, there is a photo that Jess has of her kissing Shawn Michaels back in the day, long before I knew her. Yes, yes. So. And I was on Monday Night Raw that night twice on camera. So, yeah. so and I wound up with her so take that sean yeah so I don't know what that move was I'm that's not me um all right so we want to continue over all right so we've got the sin city street fight we've got damian priest and drew mcintyre two again two yeah ice knight um That is the correct word. Yes. There's a lot that we can go on with that, but we are trying to keep this a very short, uh, confined WrestleMania talk, uh, streamed in this afternoon. So tell you what ice night, we will dig that picture up and we will have it readily available. Um, so maybe the next stream, uh, in a couple of weeks, uh, please come back and we'll show you the picture of Jess and Sean. It's funny. We've got a friend up in Canada who just lives for that picture. Yes. I'm like, I wound up with her. So, all right. So Damien Priest and Drew McIntyre, again, two guys that the both of us just adore. Love both of these guys. I, excuse me, Damien Priest. I'm because I'm an old radio and television guy. I am a sucker for voices. Damien Priest's voice is, man, that guy's got some pipes on him. And so I've always loved listening to Damien. Uh, and I've always liked his character. Um, and drew drew is drew. Yeah. Drew is on the best run of his career right now and has been for the past year. Thankfully. So, I mean, he was that feud between him and punk, uh, last year was top notch and we we were at bad blood last year when when they did the hell on the cell match yeah man ah we both love drew so but this one what do you got honey uh I am going to say that uh drew's gonna win on this one I agree I picked drew I agree because damien's had his number and Drew's kind of had a run of bad luck in WrestleMania for the last, you know, his streak has been kind of poor in a lot of these big events and WrestleMania. So I'm predicting that Drew's going to come away tonight with this. And I hope so. I really do. Yeah. Ice Knight says, Drew needs this so badly. He has racked up so many losses. He's about to be made irrelevant. I love Drew. He's getting so much screen time, but needs wins. Yes. For the very reason that I feel the same way. Yeah. And I really think Drew's going to get that tonight. Damien cost him the title last year after, what, five minutes and forty-something seconds? Yeah. We were reminded about. Yes. But that was such a great moment, though. It was just how it all played out. So good. It built into that storyline with Punk. So it was great. Yeah. WrestleMania last year. And Drew won the Slammy Award this morning for social media. So Drew is gold. Yeah. Drew is absolute gold. And later on, him and Punk, they won a Slammy for their feud. Yeah, they did. Yeah. Feud of the year. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, Drew is getting this one tonight. It's a street fight. Drew's a big guy. I want to meet Drew so badly. I want to meet Damien so badly. But Drew, for sure, Drew's just funny. He's so funny, doing some of the best work. Yeah. So, yeah, I really do think Drew gets his WrestleMania win tonight. And I hope that he gets a title, a world title again. Yeah, won it and lost it. Yeah, Chelsea. Yeah, oh, that's right. Yeah, because of Chelsea. I think I walked out of the room during that portion, but I remember hearing Chelsea's music. Yeah, totally agree. I think Drew walks away with this tonight. All right, so we're good on Drew. Mm-hmm. Okay. Bottom row. Bottom row. You want to start back on the left again? Sure. Liv and Raquel. Yeah. Watch me. Yeah. Watch me. I always picture a frog saying that. And Liv's interesting. Watch me. um um all right so live in raquel versus uh lyra vicaria and um a mystery opponent decided poor bailey she's got bad music and then I don't know what's going on here, and I don't know if this is just dirt sheets wanting to stir things up. She's like, yo. That was kind of disrespectful to build her up into a WrestleMania match and all of a sudden do an angle because apparently she's not legitimately hurt. But after the AAA announcement yesterday, they showed a backstage clip of Bayley holding her shoulder and Levin Raquel off to the side being accused of, of attacking her, but her shoulder is now not, uh, in good shape. So there's going to be a replacement. And I think as blaringly obvious, glaringly and blazingly obvious. Yeah. Who this replacement is. I think they're going to throw a second Irish woman into the mix here. Um, and there was, you know, there's been talk about, uh, uh, Lyra and Becky um having a match together um where this this could start I don't know they're they're talking about them you know versus each other but it looks like tonight they're gonna I just have a feeling that this is going to be Becky joining Lyra tonight yeah it's almost almost a shoe-in that it's Becky I mean she's been seen all over the place in Las Vegas and Um, you know, I, I love Becky, uh, always have. I don't mind her. I kind of wish that Bailey would have been giving her, uh, would have been given her spot still for WrestleMania because Bailey has done such good work over the last few months. She's a trooper and I love Bailey so much. Um, yeah. And I say, it says, I don't understand this tag match. Was there a buildup to this? Not real. Not really. Not really. And not, not without Bailey. It kind of came into, there was an elimination situation. I think with tag teams, they did the gauntlet thing. Uh, and then whoever was going to win the gauntlet faced, uh, live in Raquel. And it's like with the men's, I mean, the tag team situations in WWE lack, lack a little bit of luster to them. Yeah. Tag team's not the best right now. Yeah. So, but yeah, um, I wish Bailey were still in it, even though I love Becky. I love Bailey too. Um, but you know, they've been wanting to, like, like you said, Lyra and or Lyra and, and Bailey have been, or Becky have been needing a match or wanting a match. And this stands to at least put them on the same team with an inevitable breakup later so they can face each other. Yeah. You know? I think live in Raquel is going to win tonight. I do too. I don't think that the, I don't think that they're going to, uh, to lose the belts tonight. Yeah. I mean, Liv, Liv is not, I mean, I've got mixed feelings on Liv as far as her, maybe her personally. I really don't care for her personally, but as a wrestler, she's, she's good. She's, she's, she's a fantastic wrestler and she's done a lot of, she's put a lot of work in herself. So Liv has grown on me. I would tell you, you know, months ago, couldn't stand her, didn't want her around. She was annoying. I can't stand her laugh. But the thing is, that's part of her character and has turned into part of her begrudgingly appeal. Liv has really done a great job working. Liv has put in a lot of hard work. And so I'm not going to say I'm a Liv fan, but I'm a lot... I'm a lot more okay with her than I used to be. Yeah. And her and Raquel do good as a tag team. They really do. They do. And Iceland says, Oh, and G is each match sponsored. Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, welcome to corporate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like it. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like it. Snickers is the overall sponsor, but everybody's got their own little piece of each match. Yeah. And that takes me to the ring. The ring is heavily, you know, we knew that, uh, Vince didn't want no sponsorships on the mat, but you know, I, I've learned that surprised by the fact that the mats don't bother me. Yeah. With the sponsorships on them. And I see, you know, the point or not to get off the subject too much, but not having anything on the mat, you know, because the mat is a sacred is sacred and it's. But a lot of the wrestlers still wipe their feet at least before they get into the room. Yeah. They still have that. Yes. Tradition of wiping their feet. Um, but you know, in this day and age, things like much in the world, things are changed. I mean, so now of course TKO is involved. It's not his call anymore. Yeah. So. It's all about the dollar now. That's right. So we think it's Liv and Raquel that will win this. I agree. I... I'm going to agree just because Lyra and if this is Becky showing up that they will need some sort of feud between the two of them soon. Feud of the Irish women. Yeah. And I don't, I just don't know how I don't. I mean, Lara's already got the Intercontinental Championship. She doesn't need a tag team belt to go along with that. It just mucks up the whole thing to me. And that's my opinion. Yep. And I agree. Just keep her with one title. Yep. They're not doing really the... I don't know. That's also been something that needs a little bit of... It's been a little drag as the... introducing those intercontinental team intercontinental titles and the u.s champions to the women's I love chelsea but you know these these runs these inaugural runs have left a little bit to be desired so yeah chelsea makes up for it with personality at least absolutely so all right well moving to the middle we got this is a match I'm looking forward to uh Dominic, Dirty Dom, Finn Balor, Penta, and Braun Breaker for the Intercontinental Championship. Seattle Meadow. I can't roll my R as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's three. There you go. Yeah. This is a match I'm looking forward to. I think this is going to be a fun match. All four of these guys are fun. I love every one of them. Finn is probably my least favorite out of them. Um, I, to this day, I want to understand how he can do his coup de grace and jump off the top rope, land on somebody and not do any damage. I know he quickly rolls to lessen the impact rolls off of them. It's a, it's a great move. That's a fantastic move. It is a great move. So I'll give that to Finn, but I don't know. Finn's just been around a long time and, and I don't know, he's never really grown on me. Yeah. But I don't mind him. Don't get me wrong. He was when he really had his time was before we started getting back into it. So I really haven't kind of caught on to, to Finn. Yeah. That well. Yeah. And like we mentioned earlier in the, in the stream, Penta loved Penta and Ray Phoenix, the Lucha brothers, uh, in AEW. So happy they are where they are now. And they have been presented how they've been presented. They both look great. Penta is just fun. I love Penta's look. I love his personality. Yeah. He brings a great entrance to the ring as well. He's just he's got a really good, you know, aura about him. And I like to I like to watch this man work. Yeah, you're dipping into the Gen Z. Yeah. The aura. The aura. Eisenhower says, Finn has less personality than Fit Finley. I'll take Fit Finley any day. I'll definitely take Fit any day. Yeah. Uh, Bron Breaker, just Bron's a beast. Looks like his daddy sounds like his uncle. Yeah. Big time. Oh, and his breaker math that he did, uh, before the, uh, what was it Friday that he did that? Or yeah, it was Friday. Uh, yeah. Go back and check that out. Uh, you can find it on, uh, WWE's Instagram for sure. It was great. The breaker math. Yeah. He pulled out the Steiner math promo and applied it to his match. It was fantastic. uh braun um it took him I when he was in nxt I just kept going when is he coming up when's he coming up and now that he's here I mean you just gotta love the guy yeah he is he is the future of this company yeah you want to talk about somebody's got a rocket strapped to their back deservedly so deservedly so and then of course uh dominic mysterio dom I love dom I love dom I love to hate Dom, love Dom. And that's the beauty of him. He has, uh, he has been absolutely fantastic. He was annoying at when, you know, when he first started with the judgment day, you know, I thought it was completely annoying. And when he was starting the feud with Ray. I have grown to love this guy so much. I love Dominic. He is, he knows his role. He plays his part. He commits to character. He eats it up. That three, was it the three hour prison stay that he had sold me and the way they played that up. Yeah. And just the fact that the time he was also with Rhea, which number one in my book. Um, yeah, Dominic has, has won my heart and soul. His interviews are great. He's so fun. I mean, he's, he's, he really does live the gimmick for sure. He does. And then the video of him, uh, smacking himself with the, uh, the steel chair, the little. Yes. the little dummy that they've got set up at WrestleMania, the feet of strength. Yeah. It's very good. And they've also got one for Logan Paul. So you can take your aggressions out on both Logan Paul and Dom with these. I couldn't do it with Dom. I'd be like, put, put Logan up there. I can't do that with Dom. Um, so Jess, I'm going to let you give your prediction as always. I would love, Oh, I'm, I am, I've got to be honest. I am not sure about this one. There are so many factors into this, but I think it's really going to boil down to, I, I think Dom's going to win. I think Dom is going to get the title. I have this feeling with the way they've built up the Judgment Day situation. I don't think it's going to be a clean win. Him and Finn are at odds. This is going to be the catalyst for the two of them. I don't want to see Braun lose. Yeah. I hope that he does retain, but I have a, I have a feeling that, that Dominic's going to come away with it. And you know, you, me, ice night. We're all on the same page. Mysterio with the steel dark horse of WrestleMania says ice night. A hundred percent. Yeah. I really think that it's, it's going to be. And I won't be disappointed. No. And I think this, I think Dom winning is going to be the catalyst that splits up judgment day. Yeah. I really think that's going to be it. Cause he confirms not going to like it. Um, brand is poised to. I mean, you look at it this way. Jay's now got the world heavyweight title. Brian. That's a path for Braun. Um, I know both of them crowd loves both of them. I don't know how they'll play that story out or if Braun will go after Jay, you know, but that title now that it's off Gunther, um, and into Jay's hands, I see that story. I don't see Jay keeping the title long as much as I love Jay. I see a path for Braun to that one. And I think that's where Braun needs to go. Cause he's such a, he's such a beast. Yeah. He needs more. I agree. He needs more. He does need world title matches at this point. Absolutely. And like I said, they can revisit that situation with him and Jay that they once had. Yeah. Penta, I would certainly not mind seeing him with it. Love Penta. I just think right now, I think Dom would be the first. fun win on this. It breaks up Judgment Day, but Dom makes it fun. And Dom has put in so much hard work into his character and getting to the point where he is. I think he deserves it. So I think that'll be fun. So we're all going Dom on that one. Okay. Well, two more matches left to talk about. Randy Orton. Kevin Owens, sadly. Real life. has to have neck surgery and can't risk his health for WrestleMania. Randy is going to have an open challenge tonight. Mm-hmm. And before we jump over to that, Ice Knight says the Penta Mysterio feud is great. Absolutely. Yeah, them seeing them, just the first meeting there in the Royal Rumble between the two of them. Yeah. And that brief time they had in the ring together. Yes, they... Well, with Rey. Now, Rey's out. Yes. Rey Mysterio, he's not medically cleared right now. But even building into a feud, Penta and Dom. You know, there's still the Mysterio, you know, the bloodline, the Mysterio bloodline and Penta. So... that sets up and you know, who knows? Uh, I know right now they're on separate shows, but at some point, could we see the Lucha brothers come together? So, but eventually we will. Yeah. You can't keep those two apart, but they're having great, you know, beginning singles runs. And I think you got to keep them apart for a little bit. Absolutely. Build up that anticipation for them coming together. Yeah. But Randy Orton having, uh, having an open challenge tonight, there are a lot of ways they can go. So, okay. All right. Well, yeah. Dom and Penta. Yeah, absolutely. So a lot of people at first were talking Alistair Black, but we've already seen that he's got a return date. Friday. Yes. So they've made that known. So I don't think that he's going to show up earlier than that date. There is also a Rusev is coming back. Yeah. I mean, he, and he and CJ Perry are in town. Um, he's free from AEW now. So Rusev could come back and I think, don't they have a history? Somebody will have to tell us if they do, because I was out of it at that time. Yeah. We, we dipped out during, during those years. As it got into the ruthless aggression era. up until what what four years ago we were we were a little bit uh we were out of it so yeah even though we watched it our entire lives it was a few years it just got yeah um you know and a lot of people speculating nick aldis Well, that's true, too. And Nick Aldis, you know, former TNA champion, heavyweight champion and a fantastic wrestler. Nick is a great, great wrestler. Yeah. When Smackdown last February, not this past February, but February of twenty twenty four, when they came to town, we were leaving Smackdown. walking across from the BJCC, we walked into the hotel right next to Nick Aldis. He had a subway. He had a subway. The subway is right next door to the hotel. And that dude is so big. He's tall. He's massive. I was awestruck. But I looked at him. I said, hey, Nick, big fan. You guys had a... Great show tonight. Thanks for coming to Birmingham. And he said, thank you. We enjoyed it. Had a good night. And so got to talk to Nick Aldis. But Nick is a fantastic wrestler. I would love to see him square up against Randy Orton. You know, I know Randy Orton's paid his two fines for giving him the RKO. Yeah. But you know, Nick might want to, might want to jump in the ring and, uh, see if he can get a few shots in on Randy for what he's done to him. Yeah. So Nick, Nick is certainly, I would not be sad about that. Um, I tell you what, for this match, because we don't know who's coming in for Randy, let's guess who his opponent is going to be. Okay. All right, so instead of who's going to win this match, who is Randy's opponent going to be? Okay. You said Nick Aldis, which I think is a good choice. Like I said, we know Rusev is coming back to the WWE. So I'm kind of going with that. Rusev? Huh? You're going with Rusev? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, because you know, everybody's looking for a return. I'm just going to throw that out there. Okay. I'm going to go Nick. Okay. I, I, Nick still, man, that guy's huge. I love Nick. Um, I, I, I think it'd be good to see him in the ring for WrestleMania. Would that happen? Who knows? So, okay, well let's, uh, okay. Yes or no. No matter who the opponent is, does Randy win? Yes. Okay. So you pick Randy to win no matter who the opponent is. Yes. Because I got to post these results because we're not going to do another live stream tomorrow to detail night two. We're just going to be on X on Twitter, Twitter slash X, giving our updates on how we did. So you pick Randy to win. I'm also going to pick Randy to win because Randy is Randy and Randy is awesome. Yes. But then again, but then again, Backlash, It's the next PLE, correct? Yeah, and he's all over those posters. Because it's in his hometown of St. Louis. So does he win or does he lose? And that creates the backlash. I have a feeling that what may come after the main event might go into backlash with Randy. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don't, I just have a feeling. These are uneducated guesses, y'all. Totally. Yes. Again, we are just two people in a little small town in Alabama that love wrestling and we're just, we're just spitballing and talking this out. Yeah. Okay. So you've got Rusev for the opponent with Randy winning. I've got Nick as his opponent with Randy winning and we'll just, we'll update, we'll update, uh, our ex posts later tonight during the, or after the match. So we'll see how we did. All right. The big and the big one, the big and John Cena, Cody Rhodes, John Cena was last WrestleMania, last WrestleMania. He's a heel. They build up to this honestly has been because, because of John's schedule. And that's, that's the main culprit. John's schedule, you know, over in Europe filming and, or wherever he was filming and I mean, his promos were great. Cody's promos have been great. John's promos have been great. But I think a shorter... span of time between those promos would have helped keep it a little fresh feeling. It started getting a little stale. Yeah. Because I mean, WrestleMania came at us as such a later time this year. It feels like it has drawn on a little too long to get to here. Um, and really, you know, things just kind of, thankfully, I feel like things kind of really fired up on all cylinders here as we got closer. Yeah. Um, Um, but this, like I said, like we said last night, I, the, the buildup last year was much better than the buildup this year. Oh, last year was phenomenal. It's so hard to top last year as far as story-wise heading into WrestleMania. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, we got the surprise at Elimination Chamber that Cena is going to go heel, at least for now. Yeah. I do not think that he will end as a heel. No. I think he'll be all back baby face and kissing babies and, you know. Make a wish. Make a wish. No, John will end his career as a good guy, for sure. But tonight... all signs because John has not physically gotten one over on Cody since, since elimination chamber. Yeah. Cody's hit him with a crossroads twice now. Um, and John is just laid there like it really hurt. Um, so all signs point to John for me. Yep. I, and I honestly, I think in the overall scheme, John deserves it because of everything he's done for the company and, and the make a wish things that he's done and just the, the person he is. I really do think that, um, He's given a lot for the business and he's, he's taken a lot. He's taken a lot for the business. Yeah. Um, so you think Cena? I'm saying Cena is going to win tonight. All right. We're both saying Cena. It's just because, you know, and I mean, we're talking about what the last promo that they did where Cody was, Cody was getting booed. Yeah, that was, that was a little odd on SmackDown last week, Cody getting booed. But he turned it around. Yeah. He had the crowd back with him. So there's a lot of people that want to see, they want to see John come away with a title. They want to see him do it at WrestleMania. And John telling Cody that he doesn't have to wrestle in order to beat him. Yes. Yeah. Which ties into what happened last night, you know, with Seth. Seth walking away with Paul Heyman. Do we see the rock tonight? I think we see the rock. Does Dwayne show up tonight? He was in Hawaii yesterday. Okay. But, but it's a new, it's a new day. Yeah. I think, I think rock shows up tonight. I think, I think, I really do think that, you know, rock says there are two, he did the, the, the two guys, as opposed to the three, three fingers, he did the two fingers. I think that that marks the entrance for Seth, uh, and Heyman to come into this. I think that with, with Seth and Heyman, especially really blends or really lends itself to potentially WrestleMania, with rock enrollment. Heyman now potentially siding on the rock side. And yeah, I, I, I think that story's going to come together beginning tonight with Seth and Paul coming in. Something does kind of feel a little weird about that. Um, you know, and we'll just see. Um, but like I said, going back to that statement that John makes that I don't have to beat you to win. Yeah. Hello, interference. And Ice Knight says, Cody seems eager to drop the title in mannerism. Cena wins easily. You know, I agree. Cody's, to me, personally, Cody has had a pretty decent championship run. He's been the champion that WWE has needed. Yeah. He puts himself out there. That man is dedicated. We love Cody. He was the perfect person to get it off of Roman to stop that. Right. Because, you know, it's like we've said in the past, Roman's schedule is a very limited schedule. And if you saw Roman, it was, you know, very limited. And if you had a chance to see him live, it was, you know, usually limited. centered around you know larger events um so cody was the perfect one to end you know to finish his story to end roman's reign and carry things to where they need to cody was cody was not going to be set as a long-term champion he was not going to have the roman reigns run so ice knight has an interesting take Cena retired by Orton to win title at backlash. Hmm. That's what I'm have a feeling because, you know, also rain, Randy has been on that championship too. Yeah, he has. He's, he's looked at it when Cody's had it in his possession for a bit retired by Orton to win the title at backlash. I don't, I think, Here's a thought that I've had that I personally would like to see come to fruition. Is Cena hanging on to that title for a little bit? Getting through the summer. Because Cena's also got one heck of a history with CM Punk. Do we build... We got to give Punk another storyline with... You know, if Cena's in the Rock's camp and Punk's got such a history with the Rock and with Cena. Cause he cut that really awesome promo on both of them right after elimination chamber. And you know, with, with Punk's drawing power, they're going to give Punk another title run at some point. Yeah. Do they, do they, do they build that over the summer? That's just, that's one scenario that could happen. I just think, I think John's got a good run than this last year. And there's a lot of, there's definitely a run. There's a lot of things to revisit in this time that we have John. I don't, I don't think Cena retires with the title, you know, like he's been threatening to do. I don't think that happens. Um, but I think, I think he holds it for a little bit. And that gives, like I said, just one story possibility is giving Punk a title run. Or Orton a title run maybe towards SummerSlam. Maybe, I don't know. I'm really intrigued by where this is going to go now. Yeah. Because it could go several ways. There's a lot of ways it could go, yes. Yeah. But we're both agreeing, Cena, and I think probably the majority of the of the opinions would be Cena. It's so hard to see Cody hanging onto this and Cody is so good in that chase. Like you were saying ice night. Yeah. Um, I, I do think he's probably a little bit, I think he's, he's had a good year with the title. I think he can drop it without there'll, there'll be no damage to Cody whatsoever by dropping the title, especially with how so many avenues of story can head down. So, yeah, I agree. It's going to be fun. Tonight's going to be fun. I think tonight's going to be a better night than last night, even though last night was, was okay. Two, two matches, you know, Jay and Gunther was not the best match, but it was a great opening to the first night. And then of course that triple threat match, one of the best in WWE history last night with those three. And I love where they're, where they're taking Seth and Paul. Yeah. I love it. And I can't wait to see it. tonight's going to be fun. I really hope that everything we're hoping for the main event turns out to happen or at least something along those lines. Cause that's just going to be fun. Yeah. And I've, you know, I was never, again, when John Cena was at his height in WWE, I was not at mine with them. I had already kind of backed away. So I don't necessarily, I mean, I like, do I like Cena? I like Cena. Am I a big fan of Cena? No, not really. I hope, I hope we get to see him in person before his run ends. I mean, raw is coming here to Birmingham. Uh, just like July, two or three weeks before summer slam. Yeah. So maybe, maybe Cena shows up here, which will be fantastic. And the reason why I would love to see him in his last year is because I saw him as the prototype two weeks before his WWE debut down in Columbus, Georgia at a house show. this young jacked up guy comes out crew cut. And I'm looking at him like, who's this guy? And Howard Finkel was actually announcing that night. I think it calls me, you know, the prototype. And I was like the prototype. And two weeks later he debuts on raw. Yeah. And I was like, Oh, John Cena, that's the prototype, you know? And I've got pictures of that match, um, on my computer. So, And it's going to be, it's, it's, I'm going to enjoy watching him go through this last year and what will come about because of it and the things that he'll go through. Iceland says that's when he wore wrestling gear. Absolutely. He did. He sure did. Before the jorts. Yeah. Before the jorts. Did you see it at, uh, at the superstore? They're selling the, his elimination chamber outfit. No, no. You didn't see that? No. They're selling Cena's, and if somebody bought this already, I need to talk to them about buying us a house. They were selling the entire outfit, wristbands, everything that he was wearing at Elimination Chamber this year. I didn't see that. Seventy-five thousand dollars. And somebody bought it. I don't know if they did. I was going to say, somebody will buy it. Somebody probably will. Somebody probably will. Seventy five thousand dollars for a T-shirt, jorts, hat, wristbands, all worn by Cena, though, during that turn. That's that's crazy. Would I love to have it? Of course. I give you a dollar. That's what I got. It's at the end of the month almost. Yeah. Yeah. Seventy five grand. Somebody took a close up picture of the price tag. It's like, oh, no, no, no. Somebody bought it. I'm telling you, somebody has had to, somebody bought it. That's history. You saw all these shows that they done with all these collectors and people going to buy, you know, buy things from them or have them donate them to, you know, the, to the, to the archives, uh, or to be used at these events when they, when they do these, uh, when they do the WWE world. Yeah. Uh, somebody will buy it. I'm sure they will. If I had the money, I'd buy it and be honest with you. I wish I had money like that. Could I just worry about just buying something like that and not blinking an eye about it? Yeah. We're trying to buy new cars in a new house right now and we got a long way to go. Yeah. So I'm, I'm fine. I'm fine with my, with my belt here. I'm good. Yeah. She got a Shawn Michaels belt. The man she kissed long before she knew me. Yeah. That's why she got that belt for her birthday a few years ago. That's why I thought it was so cute when, you know, Triple H decided to kiss Sean on the lips. I was like, okay, I got you, man. They're besties. No judgment. So, um, so, all right. One, one quick look back over this card. Okay. All right. Jess and I have both chosen Logan to win tonight. Jess has chosen EO sky. Um, I've chosen Bianca. Uh, we both picked Drew McIntyre to win live in Raquel to win Dominic. take away the intercontinental excuse me intercontinental title tonight uh we both have randy orton winning no matter who his opponent is but for the opponents jess has chosen rusev I've chosen nick aldis um and then we have both chosen john cena because that's the blindingly obvious choice um so that that's where we stand on wrestlemania and okay ice knight wants to know which version of sean michaels heel or face did you kiss Wait, the kiss or the belt? The belts can go for either, but what was his run when you planted one on him? Okay. That was right after the SummerSlam with Brett and Undertaker when he was the referee. It was, it happened right after that, right before DX was formed. So technically still a face, but moving into the heel because, you know, he took He took so much crap for being the special guest referee between, you know, Taker and Brett. So, but yeah, it was, uh, right after that, right before DX was formed. Um, and I was there in Mobile, Alabama when he cut the sunny days promo on Brett. Also, I want to add that too. I was, I was in there that there was no kiss prior to that, uh, raw that time, the first time, but, uh, Not the Marty Viginetti heel. No, no, no. Yeah. Still face. Yeah. Still face. Yeah. Yeah. I wish we would have thought about it to get that picture out. We'll get those together. There's, I've got quite a few pictures from the days tucked away that, uh, that, that I, I have a sense of, um, I don't want to say pride cause that makes me sound, but You know, I treasure the pictures and the memories of behind the pictures that I have from behind the scenes. Yeah. And Ice Knight, just so you know, she was almost recruited by the Godfather for the train one night. Let's see. That was back when I was, you know, what, in what, twenty one years old. And yeah, the things were a lot Physically, a lot of things were different back then. Okay. That's all I'm saying. You're still beautiful. Thank you, hon. Thank you. I wouldn't have married you otherwise. I was twenty one. I'm almost fifty now. So, you know, things are things are a little different at this point in time than they were then. You still got a handful of years for your fifty. Thanks. Yeah, Ice Knight says that would have been on video. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, she almost got involved with the Birmingham train. I'm not saying the other word. We know what Godfather was known for. But I got his autograph, too. You got everybody's autograph. Yeah, I got a lot of autographs. She would bring Stone Cold beer. to when they came to Birmingham, Stone Cold knew her by name. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I do what I have to do. Look, that sounds bad. Okay. No. Okay. Okay. Let's, let's, let's, let's rethink that statement. You know how I get with when we go to cons. Yeah. If If I know somebody likes something, it's like an icebreaker. I took Dan Howzen a McDonald's gift card so he could buy himself some McDonald's while he was out. I put some mini Oreos and some Sour Patch Kids and a McDonald's gift card in a gift bag for him. Yep. I know what I find out what people like and I get their attention by that, you know, like treats or goodies or, you know, stone cold beer, you know, I have to get, I have to, you know, get their attention. Yeah. Like I said, there's a lot of stories to this. Yeah. Much more than we're going to cover on this stream today. Yeah. We should probably dedicate an episode or two to your stories, your wrestling stories. We probably should. But we need to get Bo in here as well. Yeah. Bo's got some good wrestling stories. He does. Yeah. So one week from today, we'll actually finally get to meet Sting. Yeah. He'll be in Huntsville at the con that's happening this upcoming weekend. So Sting has been in the places we've been. We've just never met him. And we actually met Ric Flair at Dragon Con out in the lobby one night and got to talk to him for a quick second, not realizing that Sting was standing right next to him because he was out of makeup. He was out of makeup and he had the, he had the dark hair, you know? So it was like, I didn't catch it till afterwards. It's like, oh, that was Sting. Yeah. We walked away and like, dude, that was Steve Borden. Yeah. out of makeup. We did. We brushed him off, but I did have to catch Brody King though. Right off the bat. When we went to toy Atlanta though. Yeah. A couple of weeks ago. Yeah. We did get to meet, get to meet Brody King, which was fun. So Iceland said, when I meet celebrities, I'm just in the right place. Yeah. That's awesome. That's kind of how we were at dragon con with Ric Flair. We were just in the right place at the right time. And he was, he was in the, he was there standing not too far away from us. So absolutely. Um, But I will say that the pictures that I've gotten with Stone Cold years ago, I've got, I think, five autographs. And I didn't pay one cent for them. And you should see the prices that they're charging for this stuff right now. WrestleMania week at WWE World to just have a photo with him. I was like, boy, I didn't pay one cent for everything that I got. Yeah. Yeah. It's not... not typical for us to dish out a lot of money for photos these days. Yeah. Yeah. Cause like I said, we're trying to buy cars and house trying to upgrade over here. So, well, we are going to bow out of here. We've got, uh, just over two hours until night two of WrestleMania ice night. Uh, and, uh, who all do we have in here with us? We had ice night. We had, uh, David Reese.
