WWE Week in Review: Elimination Chamber Qualifiers, Charlotte Flair Chooses Tiffany Stratton, WrestleMania 41 Takes Shape

<v Speaker 1>This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE Podcast show.
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants me go stand three sixteen.
<v Speaker 2>So just what your ass is, my.
<v Speaker 1>Ron, You're gonna acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? Everybody. It's time for the WWE Podcast
<v Speaker 2>weekend Review. Thank you everybody for joining me here on
<v Speaker 2>this Sunday night or Monday morning, whenever you're listening to this.
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate your your patronage and your time. And we're
<v Speaker 2>gonna get to the wrestling talk in a moment. We're
<v Speaker 2>gonna get to the review of my review of SmackDown,
<v Speaker 2>and uh, of course a little bit of Monday Night
<v Speaker 2>Raw rolled in there for good measure. And don't want
<v Speaker 2>to invite you if you haven't already, go to Patreon
<v Speaker 2>dot com slash ww podcast if you want an add
<v Speaker 2>free experience, better best place to go for that. Because
<v Speaker 2>we are two weeks away from the Elimination Chamber, just
<v Speaker 2>two and that's the last pl before WrestleMania, so quite
<v Speaker 2>a big gap coming, as I've mentioned in the last
<v Speaker 2>few weeks. But let's get into this week as it
<v Speaker 2>was a fairly straightforward Week one that was riddled with
<v Speaker 2>qualifying matches, a couple of interesting promos. Charlotte Flair made
<v Speaker 2>her selection. I'd encourage you all to listen to Amanda's
<v Speaker 2>SmackDown review that she did. Always does a nice job
<v Speaker 2>every week. Check hers out. It's in the previous show
<v Speaker 2>for the feed. But it is a week that is
<v Speaker 2>certainly worth talking about because we're here and I'm here
<v Speaker 2>a week. But it was very much a I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if I want to say buy the numbers, but
<v Speaker 2>a week that is progressive but not memory, if that
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, because again, we had a lot of qualifiers. Sure,
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte made her selection, and let me just talk about
<v Speaker 2>that quickly. Charlotte Flair after the match that Tippany Stratton
<v Speaker 2>had and she was demolished by Nia Jacks and Church Stratus,
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about that. Charlotte Flair gets in the ring
<v Speaker 2>and she sits down on a chair and she does
<v Speaker 2>her thing a tiffy tiffy and ends up telling her
<v Speaker 2>the Queen chooses you for WrestleMania, and hilariously, one of
<v Speaker 2>the announcers, I can't remember who it was, said, this
<v Speaker 2>is the match that we've all been waiting for. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that was satire, if it was serious,
<v Speaker 2>if it was wish casting some of each of those,
<v Speaker 2>Because the answer is no, not really, No one's looking
<v Speaker 2>forward to that match, at least from the perspective that
<v Speaker 2>we want Charlotte to just win and go about her business.
<v Speaker 2>And I'll actually get to it in a minute why
<v Speaker 2>I actually do think Charlotte will should win. Believe it
<v Speaker 2>or not, Yes, I'm going to make an argument for
<v Speaker 2>defending Charlotte in a moment. But I've talked about Charlotte
<v Speaker 2>so much in the last couple of weeks. She's been
<v Speaker 2>a focal point of my shows, and I've, for better
<v Speaker 2>or worse, said that. You know, essentially, there doesn't matter
<v Speaker 2>how much time that passes with Charlotte, she just never
<v Speaker 2>feels like she's you know, the fans are willing to
<v Speaker 2>accept her as champion again in a nutshell. That is
<v Speaker 2>what I've said, and it's true. I stand by that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not modifying or amending anything that has to do
<v Speaker 2>with that statement. What I will do, though, is add
<v Speaker 2>to it, and I will say that, sure, the fans
<v Speaker 2>don't want her as champion, but isn't that all the
<v Speaker 2>more reason to make her champion, Charlotte Flair. You know,
<v Speaker 2>she feels like time has passed her by, like the
<v Speaker 2>women's division clearly doesn't need her anymore, much like many.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, think of who's there. Of the original four
<v Speaker 2>horse women, Bailey's the only one left standing. Sasha Banks
<v Speaker 2>is gone, I eat Mercedes Monett, Becky Lynch. She may
<v Speaker 2>be close on her way back, but no one's chomping
<v Speaker 2>at the bit to get her back. I have to
<v Speaker 2>be honest. We have Charlotte Flair and now you have
<v Speaker 2>Bailey Bailey. I will say, even though she's there, doesn't
<v Speaker 2>feel like she's really there. It's weird. It feels like
<v Speaker 2>she's just there and she was by the way in
<v Speaker 2>the I don't know if it was a NBA game.
<v Speaker 2>Might have been a NBA game. She was recently introduced
<v Speaker 2>there as a WWE legend. Take it easy, okay, take
<v Speaker 2>it easy. Is she a Hall of Famer? Yeah? Is
<v Speaker 2>she a legend?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 2>The word legend is being tossed around way too generously.
<v Speaker 2>The word legend used to carry a magnific send amount
<v Speaker 2>of weight. And let me just also be clear that
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to be a legend to be in
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame. Legend does not mean you're in
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame. You can be a Hall of
<v Speaker 2>Famer without being a legend. Legend is a It's a
<v Speaker 2>mythical status. It's a status that you achieve beyond the
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame or any accolade or trophy or ring
<v Speaker 2>that you could wear or hold or touch. Bailey is
<v Speaker 2>not that I'm sorry, so I want to just put
<v Speaker 2>that out there. Is she a Hall of Famer? Yes?
<v Speaker 2>But can we tone down the legend stuff? Let me
<v Speaker 2>ask you, guys, do you think Bailey is a not
<v Speaker 2>a Hall of Famer? I think we can all pretty
<v Speaker 2>much unanimously and unanimously agree Bailey is a Hall of Famer.
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys think Bailey is a legend? When you
<v Speaker 2>think of legends, do you how many female legends are there?
<v Speaker 2>The majority of men, There's no doubt about it. But
<v Speaker 2>when you hear legend, you actually don't assimilate legend with
<v Speaker 2>the female sex most of the time, not because there
<v Speaker 2>may be aren't any, but most of them are men.
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mean a female can't be you want. In fact,
<v Speaker 2>I would say the closest that you have to legends
<v Speaker 2>in we that have ever existed. Maybe Trica and Leda there,
<v Speaker 2>you know, in their time, And Trish continues to add
<v Speaker 2>to that, I mean Sable, I mean, are we going
<v Speaker 2>to go to Sable the sex symbol? Are we going
<v Speaker 2>to say that you're a legend based on your sexual prowess?
<v Speaker 2>I hope not. Who's a legend here? Who is a
<v Speaker 2>female legend? Not hall of famer? And what you first
<v Speaker 2>need to do is define what legend means to you.
<v Speaker 2>So interesting, quite a little bit of homework for you guys,
<v Speaker 2>not saying there aren't any. And it's it's a subjective answer.
<v Speaker 2>So my answers aren't right, Yours aren't right. Everybody's all
<v Speaker 2>right because everybody this is a opinion based matter. So
<v Speaker 2>it's just a hell of a question. When I heard
<v Speaker 2>that Bailey was introduced as a WWE legend, I'm thinking,
<v Speaker 2>what in what world? Hall of famer? Yeah she is,
<v Speaker 2>and I say that fairly confidently, Yes she is, but legend. No,
<v Speaker 2>Bailey is not a legend. I just wanted to say that. Now,
<v Speaker 2>back to Charlotte, Back to Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, I
<v Speaker 2>think should win the women's championship. Now I've made the
<v Speaker 2>case that she should not win both. I don't need
<v Speaker 2>a winner take all with Rhea Ripley and reuniting the
<v Speaker 2>women's championships. No, they made the brain split. They created
<v Speaker 2>a WWE and World championship for both men and women.
<v Speaker 2>Let's not fool around with that again. Keep them separate.
<v Speaker 2>While it would be hilarious that they put the belt
<v Speaker 2>on Charlotte or belts on Charlotte, it's going to come
<v Speaker 2>at the cost of really screwing up the lineage of
<v Speaker 2>the existing championships. It would also create some confusion and
<v Speaker 2>really undermine the confidence of fans. When you create a
<v Speaker 2>championship or split the belts or whatever that you're going
<v Speaker 2>to maintain that it creates I think a little bit
<v Speaker 2>of a kind of ambiguity or distrust among fans. It's
<v Speaker 2>just are we going to do a brands whatever or not.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's any real need to have Charlotte
<v Speaker 2>win both belts. It'd be hilarious, yes, but the downside
<v Speaker 2>is greater than the upside. I think, however, I would
<v Speaker 2>actually have her beat Tiffany Stratton. I understand Tiffany's just
<v Speaker 2>getting going. I understand the focus is much more on
<v Speaker 2>her than Charlotte, at least for the future, but we
<v Speaker 2>still have Charlotte in her prime. I am not going
<v Speaker 2>to pretend I didn't say that Charlotte has overstayed her
<v Speaker 2>welcome no matter how many times she's been here, and
<v Speaker 2>I stick by that no matter how long she takes
<v Speaker 2>off four years, five years, six years at a time
<v Speaker 2>and she comes back, it's just never enough. Charlotte has
<v Speaker 2>already worn out all of her lives in w WA
<v Speaker 2>in terms of fan acceptance for her as being excited
<v Speaker 2>to come back. Fans just don't seem to be super
<v Speaker 2>excited when she comes back because Charlotte has just done
<v Speaker 2>everything there is to do, and we've seen every version
<v Speaker 2>of Charlotte there is. She was champion, it seems like
<v Speaker 2>her entire career fourteen time Women's champion. Maybe it's it's
<v Speaker 2>close to that number. So it's just there's not much
<v Speaker 2>for Charlotte left to do, and that's what it feels like.
<v Speaker 2>So what I would do is have Charlotte Flair win
<v Speaker 2>the belt from Tiffany Stratton. I don't care if it's
<v Speaker 2>by hooker, crook or straight up, and have the fans
<v Speaker 2>absolutely melt down, melt down. I want the fans to
<v Speaker 2>lose their minds. That's what I would do. WrestleMania doesn't
<v Speaker 2>need to be about pleasing the fans all the time
<v Speaker 2>with a happy ending. It doesn't. It can be about
<v Speaker 2>heels winning, not every match, and generally it should be
<v Speaker 2>about Babyface's overcoming adversity and finally climbing the mountain. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>generally I think that's true. But to throw in one
<v Speaker 2>of these in here and have the fans lose it,
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think it would get the fans behind
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany even more than they have behind her now. Even
<v Speaker 2>in a loss. I think Tiffany would be more suited
<v Speaker 2>and better suited to lose the match to Charlotte, drop
<v Speaker 2>the belt, and then have her chase Charlotte because Tiffany Stratt.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, people would rally behind her like never before,
<v Speaker 2>because everyone everywhere is tired of Charlotte anywhere near sniffing
<v Speaker 2>a championship, much less just having her back on the roster.
<v Speaker 2>So that's what that's what I would do. And yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's just my personal opinion, especially the way that she
<v Speaker 2>had approached Tiffany and was very egotistical and just kind
<v Speaker 2>of condescending sitting there looking down at Tiffany Stratton when
<v Speaker 2>she said that the Queen accepts, and it's just very
<v Speaker 2>symbolic of how her character is generally and how her
<v Speaker 2>character views others. So, all right, if you hear background,
<v Speaker 2>those guys, it's extremely windy here, hoping I don't lose power.
<v Speaker 2>So if you hear kind of like a wooshing or
<v Speaker 2>buzzing in the background, it's probably the wind outside my window.
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, all right, So let's go a little bit
<v Speaker 2>over the SmackDown Show in general. Here, we had Vic
<v Speaker 2>Joseph that was the other guy. He was filling in
<v Speaker 2>for Joe Tessa tour. Again, I'm not a big Vic
<v Speaker 2>Joseph fan for the record, not interesting. Sorry, he's just
<v Speaker 2>kind of there. However, we had Cody Rhads come out
<v Speaker 2>unbelievably still getting a pretty strong reaction. It's just it's
<v Speaker 2>it's it's really inconceivable how fans have just consistently stuck
<v Speaker 2>by this guy. I'm really hoping, and the only hope
<v Speaker 2>I have for turning him heel at any point in
<v Speaker 2>the next even twelve months is if the major cities
<v Speaker 2>like Philly, right, I'm counting on you guys, or New
<v Speaker 2>York City, Madison Square Garden, Chicago, those kinds of places.
<v Speaker 2>Even Canada, you guys go to Montreal. I'm counting on you,
<v Speaker 2>guys to start a movement. That's where usually these things
<v Speaker 2>can sometimes start to turn on Cody. Turn on mister
<v Speaker 2>suit and tie and pocket watch. Turn on him. See
<v Speaker 2>what he does? Can you imagine?
<v Speaker 3>Mean?
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, I would love to see how he reacts, to
<v Speaker 2>see how we reacts, and then see if fan start
<v Speaker 2>to wake up, start to sit in their seats at
<v Speaker 2>every other event in Columbus, Ohio, or Nashville, Tennessee, wherever
<v Speaker 2>in the country and sit and go, wait a minute, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>why are they blewing him? Actually, it kind of feels
<v Speaker 2>right that we are. In fact, why are we cheering
<v Speaker 2>this guy who's been just incredibly boring and unrelatable? I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 2>Do you wear a suit all the time every day?
<v Speaker 2>Do you wear a pocket watch every day? Do you
<v Speaker 2>wear rolex every day? Do you have a bleach blonde hair?
<v Speaker 2>Do you talk just so? And you're very articulate and
<v Speaker 2>my vocabulary does anyone else talk like that? Do you
<v Speaker 2>talk like that? No? So, guys, I'm pleading with those
<v Speaker 2>of you in major cities. The typical as Jerry the
<v Speaker 2>King Lawler used to say, Bizarro world places to start
<v Speaker 2>a movement. It can start here on the podcast and
<v Speaker 2>it can manifest in real life. I'm basically spinning into
<v Speaker 2>the wind here, but I just don't understand it. Let's continue.
<v Speaker 2>So Cody comes out and says that Jay made the
<v Speaker 2>call to challenge Gunther for the World Championship, meaning he
<v Speaker 2>will defend his championship against the winner of the elimination
<v Speaker 2>Chamber match. Any listed the names of some of those
<v Speaker 2>candidates who are in the Illunisian Chamber Logan Paul and
<v Speaker 2>Drew McIntyre, Siam Punk, John Cena, and Cody said it
<v Speaker 2>would not be Selda Soaka because he's not in a
<v Speaker 2>qualifying match. Cody said he doesn't believe in the Samoan spike,
<v Speaker 2>that the Samoan spike that Solo hit him with was
<v Speaker 2>for him, and Drew comes out interrupts Cody. McIntyre heads
<v Speaker 2>to the ring and he said that Cody attacked him
<v Speaker 2>while he was finishing his business with Sammy, and McIntyre
<v Speaker 2>said he didn't want to want it to be personal,
<v Speaker 2>but Cody made it that way. And Cody said he
<v Speaker 2>can count on one hand the number of men who
<v Speaker 2>have beaten him since he returned to WWE, and Cody
<v Speaker 2>said McIntyre is one of those men, and he added
<v Speaker 2>that he has not forgotten Fatu and Tomatonga come out
<v Speaker 2>and the crowd was, I mean they're they're behind fat too.
<v Speaker 2>I mean this guy's a star. Uh, he's boy. I'm
<v Speaker 2>excited for what they've got Fatu to do in the future.
<v Speaker 1>Here.
<v Speaker 2>So he comes face to face with McIntyre, fatoo that is,
<v Speaker 2>and he said McIntire already has his spot in the chamber.
<v Speaker 2>Fatu said he would be all gas and no breaks
<v Speaker 2>tonight and plans to dog walk Braunz Strowman and Damian
<v Speaker 2>Priest to earn his way into the lilimited chamber. Fatu
<v Speaker 2>said he will bring home the w championship to his
<v Speaker 2>family and said it never should have left. Mcatyre then
<v Speaker 2>played up to the fans wanting to see him in
<v Speaker 2>Fatu fight, but it's not going to happen because I
<v Speaker 2>have my spot in the chamber already, and he said, Cody,
<v Speaker 2>I think he wants to talk to you. As McIntyre exited,
<v Speaker 2>Fatu then walked around and eyed the belt and Cody
<v Speaker 2>and Fatu were distracted by a vehicle arriving on the
<v Speaker 2>Titan Tron. It was Solo Sokoa. Fatu told Cody that
<v Speaker 2>if anyone will speak to Solo, it will be him
<v Speaker 2>first with some family business, and Cody told Fatu he
<v Speaker 2>could have the first word, but Hill sure as hell
<v Speaker 2>get the last. All right, So solid opening segments. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>if again, nothing that's earth shattering or crazy, but continues
<v Speaker 2>to push the idea of tension between Solo and Fatu,
<v Speaker 2>which would intensify as the show goes on. And we'll
<v Speaker 2>talk about that dream. Mcatarre smart and saying I've already
<v Speaker 2>got my spot in the chamber piece. You know, I'm out,
<v Speaker 2>guys smart. This guy is just truth and smart. I
<v Speaker 2>love it everything about Drew mcatyre. I do.
<v Speaker 3>All right.
<v Speaker 2>So then we get women's tag team champions Biancabella and
<v Speaker 2>Naomi shown back stage, and then Naomi and Bella are
<v Speaker 2>in the ring. Barrett interviewed Trish Stratus, who was in
<v Speaker 2>the crowd, and asked if she would make an appearance
<v Speaker 2>at the Chamber since it's in her hometown. Stratus confirmed
<v Speaker 2>that she would be there and she had to decide
<v Speaker 2>whether she would be watching from the seats or a suite,
<v Speaker 2>and Women's champion Chelsea Green then comes out. So we
<v Speaker 2>get Chelsea Green with Piper and Niven versus Naomi with
<v Speaker 2>Bianca Bellair in a chamber qualifier eight and a half minutes,
<v Speaker 2>with Naomi beating Chelsea Green in eight and a half minutes.
<v Speaker 2>And it makes sense given that, you know, we have
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Green already a women's champion, so we you don't
<v Speaker 2>really want anyone who's already a champion, mid card belt
<v Speaker 2>anyway to be in that chamber match. It just you
<v Speaker 2>automatically eliminate them from possibility of winning because it's like
<v Speaker 2>they're involved in a story that they don't need to be.
<v Speaker 2>But this match was good, you know, Chelsea Green losing.
<v Speaker 2>Really what's coming out of this match is the weggie.
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand the weggie I saw it with Naomi
<v Speaker 2>giving Chelsea Green the biggest weggie I've ever seen. I
<v Speaker 2>don't understand what the purpose of that was, just to
<v Speaker 2>get the fans attention, just to rib Chelsea. I'm not sure,
<v Speaker 2>but whatever, Maybe it was totally accidental. I doubt it,
<v Speaker 2>But that's the big news coming out of it not
<v Speaker 2>Naomi winning and qualifying for the Chamber, but rather that
<v Speaker 2>she gave Chelsea Green a weggie. So alrighty. We then
<v Speaker 2>have Sammy's ain airing a video from social media. He
<v Speaker 2>said his neck isn't doing well. He said he has
<v Speaker 2>nerve damage and has been seeing specialists. He said it's
<v Speaker 2>been tough to come to terms with what's happened between
<v Speaker 2>him and Kevin, and Zane said their turns on one
<v Speaker 2>another have become a joke, but this one's different because
<v Speaker 2>Owens tried to end his career with a package pile driver,
<v Speaker 2>and Zaye said he doesn't know when he'll be cleared,
<v Speaker 2>but he and Owens will go at it once he is.
<v Speaker 2>And Zane said it won't be fun and said he'd
<v Speaker 2>see Owen soon. So fine, You know, this is kind
<v Speaker 2>of what I expected. I was looking for something to
<v Speaker 2>be different about this rivalry this time around, since we've
<v Speaker 2>seen so many and Zay acknowledging the fact that they've
<v Speaker 2>turned on somebody each other so many times it's become
<v Speaker 2>a joke, and that's true, So thank you for acknowledging
<v Speaker 2>that they're not pretending this is the first time that
<v Speaker 2>they've turned on one another or that someone's shocked, right.
<v Speaker 1>And.
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to differentiate why this turn is different. And
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's the key here, is that it's
<v Speaker 2>not just a regular turn, that it's one that could
<v Speaker 2>have ended his career or his life. Maybe he should
<v Speaker 2>bring that up to now. Owens has done some brutal
<v Speaker 2>turns on Owens. I mean, Owens has done some brutal
<v Speaker 2>turns on Zayan with the power bomb on the apron.
<v Speaker 2>I remember that. I think it happened in NXT or
<v Speaker 2>maybe even in the main roster. He's done some brutal ones,
<v Speaker 2>but this one, yeah, sure, the pile driver on Zayin
<v Speaker 2>is Yeah, that's how you should differentiate this turn. It's
<v Speaker 2>not just yes, it's a turn, Yes, we've seen it
<v Speaker 2>multiple times. But the key here is how it was
<v Speaker 2>done and what the intent was meant for Sammy Zayin
<v Speaker 2>to be, and that's paralyze him, just devastate his career,
<v Speaker 2>his livelihood. That is what he should focus on as
<v Speaker 2>to why this one's different and why Fenn should actually
<v Speaker 2>care about the eightieth turn for these two. So it
<v Speaker 2>looks like rus Mania Boy WrestleMania, and I think I
<v Speaker 2>brought this up as a topic on my last show
<v Speaker 2>or two three shows ago WrestleMania forty one. I don't
<v Speaker 2>want to say boring, that's a little unfair. It feels
<v Speaker 2>underwhelming just generally, so, I mean, I don't think it's
<v Speaker 2>going to be a bad WrestleMania, it just feels like
<v Speaker 2>things aren't coming together for the matches that the fans
<v Speaker 2>really want for WrestleMania yet. I mean, again, no Rock,
<v Speaker 2>no Brock, no legends here seemingly coming out other than
<v Speaker 2>John Cena, who was already announced many months ago. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>Motor City machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Saban took
<v Speaker 2>on those Garza Angel Imberto and this was only a
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half minute match, which I wish actually
<v Speaker 2>went longer. But this ends with MotorCity machine Guns winning,
<v Speaker 2>and the finish was Angel performing a moon salt onto
<v Speaker 2>Shelley at ring side, and Bartoe went in the ring,
<v Speaker 2>or rather an in ring moon salt on Saban. He
<v Speaker 2>put his feet up, Saban dove through Shelley's legs and
<v Speaker 2>hit a suicide dive on both guys, and then the
<v Speaker 2>Motor City machine Guns followed up with skull and bones
<v Speaker 2>on Bartoe and Shelley got the victory. Good match. Wish
<v Speaker 2>I had more time. I mean, that's really all I
<v Speaker 2>got to say about that. It's a match that you
<v Speaker 2>seemingly could have got fifteen minutes out of easy. Easy,
<v Speaker 2>but good. It's a quality tag team match, something that
<v Speaker 2>we don't see enough of, and it didn't seem from
<v Speaker 2>what I understand, it doesn't seem like anything was on
<v Speaker 2>the line here. That doesn't happen too often either. It's
<v Speaker 2>usually all about tag team gold. So that was nice,
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not. WrestleMania is sixty four days away?
<v Speaker 2>What when I saw that? Now now that I read this,
<v Speaker 2>it's sixty two days away. How is that possible? Wait
<v Speaker 2>till you see how quickly it goes between Chamber and Mania.
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a crazy amount of time in wrestling world,
<v Speaker 2>at least to what we're conditioned to be being used
<v Speaker 2>to between pls. I'm telling you, this time between Chamber
<v Speaker 2>and Mania is going to be It's gonna fly by. Okay.
<v Speaker 2>So Fatu and Tannga stormed through the backstage area entered
<v Speaker 2>a locker room where Solo was seated and dressed in
<v Speaker 2>black in white with black gloves, and Fatu demanded to
<v Speaker 2>know what was happening. So CoA said he needed time
<v Speaker 2>away after losing the ula follow to Roman, he hadn't
<v Speaker 2>been himself. He let the family down. He said he's
<v Speaker 2>okay now I'm ready to take over the business, and
<v Speaker 2>he's you know, Fatu didn't really say much. He turned
<v Speaker 2>and left and grabbed Fatu grabbed I'm sorry. Solo grabbed
<v Speaker 2>Fatu and said I love you and they left. So
<v Speaker 2>isn't that something that Solo said before he turned on Jay?
<v Speaker 2>So careful with that, Remember, I could be totally misremembering this.
<v Speaker 2>Didn't Solo say that to Jimmy or Jay or both
<v Speaker 2>or someone else right before he dismantled them, He could have,
<v Speaker 2>so that could be a warning sign. All right, Knakamara
<v Speaker 2>comes out, Yes, we still have a US Champion, by
<v Speaker 2>the way, and La Knight comes out, spoke from the
<v Speaker 2>stage area. He accused Nakamura of playing two lies and
<v Speaker 2>the truth, and Knight said Nakamura was truthful when he
<v Speaker 2>said he was hiding in shadows, but he was lying
<v Speaker 2>when he said he prayed for a challenge and a
<v Speaker 2>warrior to test him. Knight walked to the ring while
<v Speaker 2>recalling Knakamura cheated to beat him the last time they met,
<v Speaker 2>and the Miz comes out, interrupts Knight and Ms asked
<v Speaker 2>the fans if they're still going to going for Knight's stick,
<v Speaker 2>and he said he was wrong when he said a
<v Speaker 2>year ago that Night was a fraud. But the w
<v Speaker 2>universe is leading out of the palm of his hand.
<v Speaker 2>Miss said he proved that the fans were not educated,
<v Speaker 2>and Mis said the fans are not smart, they're basic
<v Speaker 2>and asked the fans if they know who is worthy.
<v Speaker 2>Knight ket him off and assumed that the Miz would
<v Speaker 2>declare himself worthy, and then ran through the list of
<v Speaker 2>things Miss usually boasts about, which is main eventing WrestleMania
<v Speaker 2>with John Cena and Knights of the Mis has been
<v Speaker 2>saying those things for ten years and suggested that the
<v Speaker 2>Miz take a page out of John Cena's book and
<v Speaker 2>start a farewell tour because if everyone is ready for him,
<v Speaker 2>everyone is ready for him to go away, and Mis
<v Speaker 2>said he can't believe he was crying on national television.
<v Speaker 2>I mean he recalled Knight saying last week that it's
<v Speaker 2>okay for men to cry. That was a nice line.
<v Speaker 2>Knight confirmed that he thinks it's okay in the right situation,
<v Speaker 2>but Miss is at the top of the list of
<v Speaker 2>cry baby bees trying to keep a PG here. And
<v Speaker 2>then it gets a little weird. It's like the la
<v Speaker 2>Knight lost himself a little bit, and he said that
<v Speaker 2>the title needs him and he'll make it shine. And
<v Speaker 2>Knight says Mis sucks and called him it's like he
<v Speaker 2>lost himself here, and you could tell he was laughing
<v Speaker 2>as kind of a nervous tick. He called the Mis
<v Speaker 2>impotent dork. Has anyone ever said those two words together
<v Speaker 2>ever in human history? I mean, I don't know. That
<v Speaker 2>was a wit of a kind of a lame singer
<v Speaker 2>from Night, not the greatest. But Miss then charged Knight,
<v Speaker 2>who set him up for a BFT. Miz slipped away,
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Alldos came out and said that Knight and
<v Speaker 2>Mis were looking for a fight and Knakamar is looking
<v Speaker 2>for a challenger all this book Night versus Miss and
<v Speaker 2>a match right then and there. The match lasted ten minutes,
<v Speaker 2>with Night beating the Mis. After the BFT, he went
<v Speaker 2>to the ropes, did a double jump elbow and got
<v Speaker 2>the three count. After that, though Knight stood on the ropes,
<v Speaker 2>looked down at Nakamura. Nakamura comes in the ring, he
<v Speaker 2>took his belt off, held it up. Nakamura went face
<v Speaker 2>to face with Knight. So we're back to yes La,
<v Speaker 2>Knight and Nakamura challenging for the US title. Eh. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know why we're going back to this so soon.
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with it. You know what. It is a
<v Speaker 2>bit weird and kind of flat that they're doing that. However,
<v Speaker 2>it's a big positive and that it gives both Night
<v Speaker 2>and more importantly Knakamura something to do as champion. So
<v Speaker 2>that's a positive, but also sad. That's a that's not
<v Speaker 2>just a basic expectancy for the US champion that he
<v Speaker 2>has an opponent. All Right, we then have carmel O
<v Speaker 2>Hayes in Our Truth. Two minutes and twenty seconds, Carmelo
<v Speaker 2>Hayes beats Our Truth, and then we have let's see here.
<v Speaker 2>So by the way, the finish here was Hayes hitting
<v Speaker 2>nothing but net and get the victory. And then we
<v Speaker 2>got the Street Profits video package. Angela Dawkins said, if
<v Speaker 2>anyone should be mad, it's them. He got listed. He
<v Speaker 2>listed other tag teams and said he and Ford would
<v Speaker 2>put them in the dirt if they got in their way,
<v Speaker 2>and Ford got fired up and said, they will get
<v Speaker 2>the smoke. Who cares. They need to come up with
<v Speaker 2>something else. I've been saying this now for four plus years.
<v Speaker 2>The street profits. I don't need to know if anyone
<v Speaker 2>wants any kind of smoke. No one wants smoke, move on.
<v Speaker 2>And they've tried this a little bit. It seems like
<v Speaker 2>where they tease Heal turns they were kind of heels
<v Speaker 2>with Bobby Lashley in the Pride, and they weren't, and
<v Speaker 2>then they were, and then they didn't. They weren't on
<v Speaker 2>TV for like eight years, and then they're back. They
<v Speaker 2>don't know what the hell to do with them, and
<v Speaker 2>they better figure it out because there's talent there. There's
<v Speaker 2>talent there, and I think it's as heels. I don't
<v Speaker 2>want them turning on one another. I want them as
<v Speaker 2>a heel team right now. Okay. So, Kevin Owens was
<v Speaker 2>sitting in his car wearing a Brett Hard jacket so
<v Speaker 2>Owen's in one of his infamous car promos. He recalled
<v Speaker 2>Zaine saying he wasn't doing too good, and Owen said
<v Speaker 2>he's not doing well because he's been stabbed in the
<v Speaker 2>back by three men that he would have taken a
<v Speaker 2>bullet for. Owen said, Zayne doesn't know what real pain is,
<v Speaker 2>but he'll show him. And Owen said he and Zane
<v Speaker 2>can go again, and he can't think of a better
<v Speaker 2>place than Canada. Owen said he doesn't care if Zayne
<v Speaker 2>is cleared or not. He should come find him at
<v Speaker 2>Elimination Chamber and he'll know pain. So I guess we're
<v Speaker 2>not gonna do this at WrestleMania. It could just be
<v Speaker 2>a brawl that happens at Chamber, which is just a
<v Speaker 2>preview for WrestleMania, which is my guess. I can't see
<v Speaker 2>Zayn or Owens doing really anything else at WrestleMania at
<v Speaker 2>this point based on the current storylines, So perhaps the
<v Speaker 2>brawl is just a teaser for WrestleMania forty one. So yes,
<v Speaker 2>Zay will show up neck brace, Owens will be there.
<v Speaker 2>He'll go for another package pile driver. Maybe he'll succeed
<v Speaker 2>and try to break Zane's neck. Zayn'll make it back
<v Speaker 2>for WrestleMania and you're off to the races. So we
<v Speaker 2>then have Charlotte Flair come out. I already mentioned this though.
<v Speaker 2>She was a big part of the post match here
<v Speaker 2>with Tiffany and Nya Jacks for the Women's Championship WWE
<v Speaker 2>Women's Championship, and the match was crazy long, crazy long,
<v Speaker 2>even by Women's Championship standards, seventeen minutes and twenty seconds,
<v Speaker 2>with Tiffany Stratton beating Naya Jack's DQ, which kind of
<v Speaker 2>is lame because it had lay be the reason for
<v Speaker 2>the DQ finish after Larray attacked Tiffany Stratton and the
<v Speaker 2>spinebuster on Jacks was good though. I really enjoyed Stratton
<v Speaker 2>putting Jacks down with a spinebuster at the finish here
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. Credit to I Jacks, who I don't think
<v Speaker 2>is getting enough of attention right now, and applause for
<v Speaker 2>how good she's how much she's improved over the last
<v Speaker 2>twelve eighteen months. And then after the match, though Jacks
<v Speaker 2>hit the annihilator on Tiffany Stratton, Tris Stratus shows up,
<v Speaker 2>took the chair away from the Ray and shoved Jacked off,
<v Speaker 2>Jacks off the ropes, and Stratus then beat down l
<v Speaker 2>Ray and who spun her into the corner just in
<v Speaker 2>time for Jax to hit her with a splash. So
<v Speaker 2>Stratus is down, and then Charlotte Flair comes out and
<v Speaker 2>as I said, we talked about Tiffy. Wake up, Tiffy,
<v Speaker 2>can you hear me? And she just made the announcement
<v Speaker 2>that she's choosing Tiffany Stratton for WrestleMania. So this is uh.
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed this again. I know that Tiffany Stratton is
<v Speaker 2>one that people are behind. She's the babyface here. Charlotte
<v Speaker 2>has been champion her since like birth. I understand that,
<v Speaker 2>but isn't that all the more reason to get fans
<v Speaker 2>pissed off and make her champion again? I would do it,
<v Speaker 2>I really would. Okay, So Nick Alldos was on the
<v Speaker 2>phone in his office when Bianca and Naomi come in
<v Speaker 2>and all This thanked them for coming and said they
<v Speaker 2>received an anonymous tip and cell phone video. All just
<v Speaker 2>played the footage and showed liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
<v Speaker 2>walking in the distance while Jane was being loaded into
<v Speaker 2>an ambulance. Naomi said she told bel Air all This
<v Speaker 2>said they didn't know anything yet, he would call Adam
<v Speaker 2>Pierce to figure out the next step in. Bel Air
<v Speaker 2>said she didn't need to do that because she and
<v Speaker 2>Naomi were going to raw to take care of Morgan
<v Speaker 2>and Rodriguez themselves. I don't underst stand here, By the way,
<v Speaker 2>how does Live Morgan and Raquel walking outside the building
<v Speaker 2>together make them guilty? How does that make them guilty
<v Speaker 2>after she was put in an ambulance. That doesn't prove anything,
<v Speaker 2>doesn't prove anything other than okay, I guess we've got
<v Speaker 2>new players on the field, but not even real suspects.
<v Speaker 2>If you're looking at this logically, living Morgan and Marakeael
<v Speaker 2>Rodriguez walking in the background tells you nothing other than
<v Speaker 2>they were walking in the background, you know, at a
<v Speaker 2>spinning distance from where the thing happened. But it doesn't
<v Speaker 2>tell you anything. But fine, let's just I mean, I'm
<v Speaker 2>just whatever. I'll go with it. Who done it is
<v Speaker 2>always fun? But honestly, I don't really know who even
<v Speaker 2>cares about who attacked Jade Cargill at this point. No
<v Speaker 2>one seems to care. The fans are just like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Most fans are like, oh yeah, yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>forgot about that. They didn't wrap that up so tiffty.
<v Speaker 2>Stratton was interviewed by Byron Saxton. Stratton said it was
<v Speaker 2>hard to focus on WrestleMania after what Nia Jackson Candicellreid
<v Speaker 2>did to her, Tris Stratton, trist Stratta shows up and
<v Speaker 2>made a pitch for them to team up the chamber,
<v Speaker 2>and a giddy Stratton asked if Trish was saying it'll
<v Speaker 2>be Tiffy and Trishy time in Toronto and said, yep, basically,
<v Speaker 2>so we got the which, By the way, Tiffany Stratton
<v Speaker 2>should not be giddy. I don't. I don't need Tiffty
<v Speaker 2>Stratton bowing at the altar of Tris Stratus. I wouldn't.
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't make her the exalted one. Yeah, she's a
<v Speaker 2>w W Hall of Famer. She was. She was part of
<v Speaker 2>women's wrestling when women weren't supposed to be good at
<v Speaker 2>wrestling and they were still viewed as sex symbols. And
<v Speaker 2>that's fine, and she did a good job, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>we all have fond memories of Trish and all that,
<v Speaker 2>But why are we all just kneeling at the altar
<v Speaker 2>of Trish like Tiffany Stratton, especially you're the champion. What
<v Speaker 2>are you doing? I don't like that. It should just
<v Speaker 2>be we're on equal footing. Fine, okay, okay, so we
<v Speaker 2>then have let's see, Oh, Okay, this is I haven't
<v Speaker 2>really talked much about this here, Damien Priest versus Jacob
<v Speaker 2>Fatu versus Braun Strowman in a triple threat elimination chamber qualifier.
<v Speaker 2>So this match, let me see at the time on
<v Speaker 2>this I'm interested to see what it was because it
<v Speaker 2>felt long. Okay, only sixteen minutes. Damian Priest wins. All right,
<v Speaker 2>Damian Priest wins. Main event was fun here. I really
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed this main event. I did Fatu always shining here,
<v Speaker 2>and it's every match fat two is in. He's never
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose right now, and it's meant to look make
<v Speaker 2>him look good. Even if he's going to lose in
<v Speaker 2>a triple threat, you can accept the loss because he's
<v Speaker 2>not the one taking the fall. We had Braun Stroman
<v Speaker 2>there to take the fall from Priest and the idea
<v Speaker 2>though that and I give Stroman all the credit in
<v Speaker 2>the world, but the idea that Damian Priest can one
<v Speaker 2>arm choke slam Braunz Stroman is ridiculous. I mean, yes,
<v Speaker 2>choke slams are eighty nine percent of the work done
<v Speaker 2>by the person being choke slam because they jump. And
<v Speaker 2>I give Braun strom Again. I give him credit. He
<v Speaker 2>didn't do anything wrong. I just would have modified the
<v Speaker 2>finish a bit so that it didn't look like Priest
<v Speaker 2>with ease lifted up Stroman by his neck with one
<v Speaker 2>arm A little much, A little much there as my
<v Speaker 2>voice cracks because I'm going through puberty. I really just
<v Speaker 2>that was that was the part that I just I
<v Speaker 2>did roll my eyes a bit. But fine, Damian Priest wins.
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna have fatuluse no chance Stroman's winning. Damian
<v Speaker 2>Priest is the logical choice. So after the match, Cody
<v Speaker 2>enters the ring. They both looked at the WrestleMania sign,
<v Speaker 2>and then Cody and Priest shook hands, look back at
<v Speaker 2>the sign, and that was it. So good episode here,
<v Speaker 2>really fun women's match, longest match of the entire show. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not, that doesn't happen too often. When's
<v Speaker 2>the last time a women's match, a women's match, was
<v Speaker 2>actually the longest match on the show. I don't think.
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know.
<v Speaker 1>It.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if the last time it has happened.
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's quickly run down the raw results. Here
<v Speaker 2>we had Live Morgan and Raquel versus EO and Dakota
<v Speaker 2>Kai and that match ends with EO and Dakota getting
<v Speaker 2>the victory. We have Lyra versus Bailey in an elimination
<v Speaker 2>chamber qualifier, with Bailey beating Lyra in twelve minutes and
<v Speaker 2>fifteen seconds. Again, I think that's the logical choice because
<v Speaker 2>Lyra being the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion, You're not going
<v Speaker 2>to have her in a position to be in a
<v Speaker 2>match where you know that people are just disregarding her
<v Speaker 2>instantly because she's the Intercontinental Champion. So I fully expect
<v Speaker 2>a multi woman match for both women's ic in US championships.
<v Speaker 2>So all right, we then have let's see aj Styles
<v Speaker 2>and Dominic. That was a fun little segment we had.
<v Speaker 2>Let's see here war Raiders, Irack and I have our
<v Speaker 2>take on Julius Creed and Brutus Creed for the World
<v Speaker 2>Tag team titles. This match ended in twelve minutes with
<v Speaker 2>the war Raiders war Ritors beating the Creed brothers. It
<v Speaker 2>was a dq finish, but it actually made sense with
<v Speaker 2>a belt shot. I remember I talked about that on
<v Speaker 2>the Raw Review. How belt shots I think are underutilized
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate this finish here, we had Punk come
<v Speaker 2>out and he talked about winning not winning the rumble
<v Speaker 2>and said he sometimes talks too much. He brought up
<v Speaker 2>John Cena and how he'll see him at the elimination
<v Speaker 2>Chamber and that'll be his path to WrestleMania is winning
<v Speaker 2>that and facing Cody Rhodes and said he's no longer
<v Speaker 2>upset with Sena because he deserves to call his shot,
<v Speaker 2>which of course is nonsense. But Logan Paul comes out
<v Speaker 2>him and Paul Paul and Punk have a bit of
<v Speaker 2>an interaction there, which it was fine. I mean, Logan
<v Speaker 2>Paul did the best he could to stand up to
<v Speaker 2>the silver tongue devil that is Cmpunk. Logan Paul then
<v Speaker 2>took on Raymisterio in a chamber qualifier match, with him
<v Speaker 2>beating Mysterio in seventeen minutes of a long match there,
<v Speaker 2>Logan Paul beating Mysterio in seventeen minutes. So Logan Paul
<v Speaker 2>is in the chamber and that was the main event.
<v Speaker 2>So four matches to what six or seven on SmackDown
<v Speaker 2>A Raw continues to be the talking entertainment video package,
<v Speaker 2>backstage segment show and that's been its identity. I mean
<v Speaker 2>really since SmackDown and Raw have been a thing, a
<v Speaker 2>combination show for W's man roster. So a fine Raw,
<v Speaker 2>a fine SmackDown again the theme that I talked about
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the show. It's nothing that will
<v Speaker 2>blow your socks off, but a show that progressed things forward.
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we've got two weeks till the Chamber,
<v Speaker 2>so I expect a similar show feel for next week
<v Speaker 2>where we're talking here in this week in review, where okay, cool,
<v Speaker 2>nothing else shattering, nothing even in a few months or
<v Speaker 2>two weeks you'll probably remember, but one that is integral
<v Speaker 2>to the story they're trying to tell moving forward. That's
<v Speaker 2>what I think we'll feel. And then, of course, after
<v Speaker 2>the Chamber, all bets are off. Chamber is its own animal,
<v Speaker 2>because that's really one of their final big places. To
<v Speaker 2>set the WrestleMania card, you don't have to have it
<v Speaker 2>totally finalized, but you need to have at least the
<v Speaker 2>massive main events set, your championship matches set, at least
<v Speaker 2>your top championship matches set ic in US Championships for
<v Speaker 2>the men and the women. Of course, you can finagle
<v Speaker 2>with those as you get closer if you want to
<v Speaker 2>have a legend match and have a legend interfere they
<v Speaker 2>can come back at any time. I don't think that
<v Speaker 2>that's happening this year, but I could be wrong. What's
<v Speaker 2>most interesting to me, though, is with all these moving
<v Speaker 2>parts in the top of the card, with a returning
<v Speaker 2>Randy Orton, Sammy Zay, Kevin Owens, Punk, Rollin's, Rains, Cody,
<v Speaker 2>all the different combinations and variations you can have with them.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure you've heard there a rumors of triple
<v Speaker 2>threat title matches, and you know CM Punk versus Rollins
<v Speaker 2>versus Rains and cmpunk versus Cody versus I mean all
<v Speaker 2>the different things and Rollins Rains one on one. That's
<v Speaker 2>the fun part of this is, Yes, the rest of
<v Speaker 2>the card is important, and I have respect for the
<v Speaker 2>rest of the men and women on the card, But
<v Speaker 2>the top of the cards, I'm sorry, it's what sells
<v Speaker 2>the money. It's not a secret. I'm not spilling anything
<v Speaker 2>that anyone doesn't know, but it's about those combinations of
<v Speaker 2>guys like Drew and Fatu and like, what are they
<v Speaker 2>doing in Mania? What are they doing and who's going
<v Speaker 2>to be facing Cody and if they face Cody could
<v Speaker 2>Cody lose? Is there any chance now that he's been
<v Speaker 2>champion for a year that he could lose? I think
<v Speaker 2>that finally, if you're looking for Cody to make a
<v Speaker 2>change or WW to make a change, I think Wrestlemana
<v Speaker 2>forty one is the first real spot. And I've said
<v Speaker 2>this a year ago. I said, after Cody wins at
<v Speaker 2>forty the real spot you can look towards for a
<v Speaker 2>Cody to maybe lose the belt the first real time
<v Speaker 2>he's wrestle Maana forty one. They're not going to drop
<v Speaker 2>it before that, And here we are, so we can
<v Speaker 2>start to finally look and go, maybe they have Cody
<v Speaker 2>drop it because he's, let's face it, he's been boring. God,
<v Speaker 2>he's been boring. He's boring me to tears. Is a
<v Speaker 2>little bit of bias that I don't like his character. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but anybody that's out there that like cheers Cody, and
<v Speaker 2>apparently there's a lot of you. I hear you every week.
<v Speaker 2>I see you every week in these arenas. Unless you're
<v Speaker 2>being put us to some kind of spell by the
<v Speaker 2>Sanderson sisters. There's a reference for you. If you understand
<v Speaker 2>that one, then I don't understand what you're doing. If
<v Speaker 2>why are you cheering this man? What gets you excited
<v Speaker 2>about codyads not even to me? Honestly? How about this,
<v Speaker 2>I'll rephrase the question from why do you like him
<v Speaker 2>or support him? To what gets you excited about Cody Rhoads?
<v Speaker 2>Why are you excited about him? You're cheering for him,
<v Speaker 2>You're expending energy voluntarily out of your body to show
<v Speaker 2>your support and love and admiration for his character. But
<v Speaker 2>what are you thinking about specifically that gets you so
<v Speaker 2>excited to see Cody Rhodes? Is it just his music?
<v Speaker 2>Is it because he says the name of your city?
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand. I don't know, I don't get it,
<v Speaker 2>but do not belabor that point and circle back. The
<v Speaker 2>top of the card is crazy. Yes, you have the
<v Speaker 2>World Championship locked in Gunther versus Jay. Most people kind
<v Speaker 2>of just look the other way and go, okay, well
<v Speaker 2>watch it would be fun Jay I'll probably win. Like
<v Speaker 2>that's how most people feel. It's not an exciting WrestleMania
<v Speaker 2>for Jay or Gunther. I have to say, even though
<v Speaker 2>Jay'll probably be anointed, which I don't agree with, it's
<v Speaker 2>not exciting for the world Championship. It's not an exciting
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania unless something changes. Even if the match is kick ass,
<v Speaker 2>it's not gonna change really how I view this because
<v Speaker 2>it is what it is. They have their plans and
<v Speaker 2>apparently they're going with them. But the WWEUNO speed A
<v Speaker 2>Championship is the one that with all these moving parts. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>whoever doesn't win the Chamber, could they potentially insert themselves
<v Speaker 2>into the match with Cody and X winner. Does Punk
<v Speaker 2>cash in his favor to get Hayman to get him
<v Speaker 2>into the match? What is Punk's favor? And I've said
<v Speaker 2>it better be something that Punk can't do on his own,
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of Punk can do on his own.
<v Speaker 2>And then what about Roman? Is it Roman and Rollins?
<v Speaker 2>Is it Randy turning on Cody and it's turning himself in?
<v Speaker 2>Is Randy going to attack Kevin? That's my guess. At
<v Speaker 2>Chamber is it Randy versus Kevin versus saying at Wrestleman,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know so many things, so many things,
<v Speaker 2>and next if you want to get excited about our
<v Speaker 2>so many I think that's the place you focus is
<v Speaker 2>even if you don't have the person that you want
<v Speaker 2>win the chamber. All these other matches with these top
<v Speaker 2>guys that they're going to do something with is exciting.
<v Speaker 2>It's exciting. That's where I would focus my energies. If
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at this WrestleMania and kind of underwhelmed by it,
<v Speaker 2>a little bit bored by it, that's what I would do. Also,
<v Speaker 2>give the storylines a chance. That's what I would say too.
<v Speaker 2>You could, you'd be surprised how sometimes all of a
<v Speaker 2>sudden you're interested and invested in a story you never
<v Speaker 2>thought you would be. So that'll do it for me
<v Speaker 2>here on the ww podcast on this Sunday night. I
<v Speaker 2>hope you all have enjoyed this and we're back to
<v Speaker 2>a regularly schedule programming. I'm back to work next week.
<v Speaker 2>God helped me. No one has any sympathy, but I've
<v Speaker 2>been away from work for two weeks, long as i've
<v Speaker 2>taken since my kids were born. And again, no one
<v Speaker 2>gives a damn because everyone's got their own jobs and
<v Speaker 2>own problems. I understand that no one cares. Everyone's focused
<v Speaker 2>on their own lives. But I looked at my email
<v Speaker 2>and I've been trying to get rid of crap, and
<v Speaker 2>you know, get through all the nonsense. I still have
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and thirty emails, and after me still cleaning
<v Speaker 2>things out over the last two weeks, it's just like,
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, and I left with like five emails
<v Speaker 2>on red. So that's the part. That's the one thing
<v Speaker 2>about being on a vacation is trying to mentally also
<v Speaker 2>be on vacation because you're attempted. Since many of us
<v Speaker 2>have access to our work email through our phones, whether
<v Speaker 2>it's a state a work issued phone, or your personal phone.
<v Speaker 2>You can look on outlook or your mail app. It's
<v Speaker 2>just like, damn it, I gotta stop doing this because
<v Speaker 2>then you never really leave work. That's the problem I have.
<v Speaker 2>I'm just looking at all this stuff. I'm like, oh
<v Speaker 2>my god, right, because you just like feel the the
<v Speaker 2>cloud of despair on the horizon. You know, you look
<v Speaker 2>out into the distance over the horizon, you just you
<v Speaker 2>see these dark clouds forming, and instead of just enjoying
<v Speaker 2>where you are your you're focused so damn much on
<v Speaker 2>what the storm is going to be. Like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's a flaw. It's a character flaw
<v Speaker 2>among many that I have. So anyway, no one cares
<v Speaker 2>because everyone's got thro own jobs, but I think some
<v Speaker 2>of you can relate to that. Perhaps all right, if
