WWE Main Event & WrestleMania 42 Review w/Daniel R.

<v Speaker 1>What is going on, everybody, and welcome to this week's
<v Speaker 1>episode of the Main Event Review. It really is going
<v Speaker 1>to be a WrestleMania review, Let's be honest, because it's
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania week. There's a lot of content happening on the
<v Speaker 1>WWE podcast and I'm here to put in my thoughts,
<v Speaker 1>my two cents on everything WrestleMania.
<v Speaker 2>But there was two main event matches.
<v Speaker 1>That we are going to quickly flash through first, given
<v Speaker 1>that it is still the main event show. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>straight onto WrestleMania. I'll save my thoughts for that after
<v Speaker 1>I get through the two matches, of course. But again,
<v Speaker 1>it's been great to be here. Obviously a heavy wrestling week.
<v Speaker 1>Watched both nights back to back. Netflix wasn't a place
<v Speaker 1>where we escaped from ads either, so internationally we still
<v Speaker 1>had the same problem you guys in America had. So
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to all that later, as I mentioned, but
<v Speaker 1>we'll start with the first match of main event. It
<v Speaker 1>was a women sort of centric main event, which was good.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of these guys probably or girls probably missed
<v Speaker 1>out on WrestleMania, but they were able to sort of
<v Speaker 1>showcase themselves on main event there, which started with Zelena
<v Speaker 1>Vega taking on Jordan Gray, so you would have thought
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Grace could potentially be competing for a women's US title.
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say, like those midcard titles, the
<v Speaker 1>Intercontinental one was defended, but the US one has not
<v Speaker 1>been and just goes to show how important elevating titles are,
<v Speaker 1>because Becky Lynch has done a fantastic job at that
<v Speaker 1>and so.
<v Speaker 2>Was aj Lee. But yes, I digress.
<v Speaker 1>We had Jordan Grace taking on Zelena Vega, where we
<v Speaker 1>had Jordan Grace getting the victory here with that backpack stunner,
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, honestly expected here. Obviously, Jordan Grace is coming
<v Speaker 1>out of TNA and NXT and is onto the main roster.
<v Speaker 1>She obviously had her little sort of feud with Jay
<v Speaker 1>Cargile just a filler before WrestleMania, but ever, and she
<v Speaker 1>hasn't really done much, so maybe this might be some
<v Speaker 1>momentum to push her into this year and her plans
<v Speaker 1>maybe gone for the women's US title. I think that's
<v Speaker 1>where she's probably situated at the moment. That's where I
<v Speaker 1>sort of see her. But she did obviously lose her
<v Speaker 1>number one contender match, which is a shame but I
<v Speaker 1>think we'll be seeing a lot of Jordan Grace. I
<v Speaker 1>think this year, I think she'll have an opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>battle for those mid card titles. And you know, she
<v Speaker 1>did really well here. She's obviously a beast, She's got
<v Speaker 1>real strength. She's a special woman, I would say, so,
<v Speaker 1>you know, keen to see how she goes. She still
<v Speaker 1>obviously knew around here, hasn't made the impact that maybe
<v Speaker 1>Last Legend has and the other NXT guys. But nevertheless,
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll do some good things, hopefully this year
<v Speaker 1>for her sake and you know, for the product's sake overall,
<v Speaker 1>to get that women's division more competitive.
<v Speaker 2>And then we got.
<v Speaker 1>Zelena Vega, who obviously has gone to the dark side.
<v Speaker 1>I really like this sort of new gimmick. It is
<v Speaker 1>definitely a rip off of what Carrying Cross and Scarlet
<v Speaker 1>could have done. They've obviously replaced them with her and
<v Speaker 1>Alista Black. They don't get the victory here, but we're
<v Speaker 1>gonna go on the train of Alistair Black. Obviously, he
<v Speaker 1>seems to be involved in like Randy's change. He's been
<v Speaker 1>in backstage and the original plan was for him to
<v Speaker 1>be involved. I don't know how Selena would get herself
<v Speaker 1>involved in that, but I think with this new dark character,
<v Speaker 1>it's great in all but I think she needs to
<v Speaker 1>get involved in the women's division because she's.
<v Speaker 2>Not really using it for that.
<v Speaker 1>She's sort of using it to be sort of Alista
<v Speaker 1>Black's side piece, you know, and that's not what we
<v Speaker 1>want for Selena Vega.
<v Speaker 2>We wanted to sort of compete.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously before that, she was doing a really good job
<v Speaker 1>in battling for the mid car she won the US title.
<v Speaker 1>She's quite undersized, but I think she offers a lot
<v Speaker 1>and she's really good in mike so on the MIC,
<v Speaker 1>so I think she can obviously give more than I
<v Speaker 1>think she's giving at the moment. So hopefully that changes
<v Speaker 1>for her. But this is not a really good start
<v Speaker 1>for her and Mentum getting the loss here. And then
<v Speaker 1>we had Maxine Duprie taking on Roquale Rodriguez. Honestly, both
<v Speaker 1>of these guys or both of them actually had an
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to potentially be on WrestleMania.
<v Speaker 2>Crazy as it sounds like, Maxin de Prix was.
<v Speaker 1>Women's in Continental Champion for a bit and Roccarlo Rodriguez
<v Speaker 1>was battling Stephanie Vaquerre and I think had a really
<v Speaker 1>solid twenty twenty five, so it's only up for both
<v Speaker 1>of these two.
<v Speaker 2>Maxine Depri is.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously really young, Roccallle Rodriguez is slightly a little bit
<v Speaker 1>more proven.
<v Speaker 2>That's probably why she got the victory here with the Tahana.
<v Speaker 1>Bomb, and I do suspect that potentially we are going
<v Speaker 1>to see a program with Live Morgan and Riccall Rodriguez.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's bound to happen, and I think Racara
<v Speaker 1>Driguez is ready, and.
<v Speaker 2>I feel as though that she deserves to have the
<v Speaker 2>title for a bit. I'm not sure how.
<v Speaker 1>Big or long her run deserves to be, but I
<v Speaker 1>feel like she needs to be up and around that
<v Speaker 1>echelon because I think she's proven to do really good things,
<v Speaker 1>especially at the start of twenty twenty six and twenty
<v Speaker 1>twenty five as well, so I don't think main event
<v Speaker 1>is a place for her, and she obviously dominated this
<v Speaker 1>matchup as well.
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised it went longer than what it did.
<v Speaker 1>Maxin Deprix had a small comeback, but obviously it wasn't
<v Speaker 1>good enough to get the victory here. So Rocall Rodriguez,
<v Speaker 1>I'm expecting massive things for her. Probably out of the
<v Speaker 1>four women have spoke about, I think Ricar Rodriguez has
<v Speaker 1>the biggest potential to do something massive, especially with the
<v Speaker 1>fact that you've got to live Morgan lurking around. Obviously
<v Speaker 1>they're still together, but they are. There have been some
<v Speaker 1>slight sort of fractions between the two which haven't been
<v Speaker 1>sort of addressed to the level we should have, So
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll.
<v Speaker 2>See that this year. But yeah, that pretty much is
<v Speaker 2>the main event.
<v Speaker 1>Review will go straight onto WrestleMania and I'll put it
<v Speaker 1>black and white to you guys.
<v Speaker 2>Night one was bloody, terrible, rubbish.
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't a fan. Yeah, Like, I don't know what else
<v Speaker 1>to say. I did not enjoy Night one at all.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was rubbish. The advertisement, it was a joke.
<v Speaker 1>The entries they always take long.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not surprised at that.
<v Speaker 1>But man, some of the matches went way too short
<v Speaker 1>and you just thought, why are they going so short?
<v Speaker 1>This is literally giving me like SmackDown vibes. Some of
<v Speaker 1>these matches, Like, honestly, these matches felt like main event
<v Speaker 1>SmackDown matches or main event raw matches, which is it's
<v Speaker 1>not what you want to see, man, it's not what
<v Speaker 1>you want to see in your biggest sort of pl
<v Speaker 1>but Night two definitely turned it around. I watched it live,
<v Speaker 1>but to be honest, I didn't have a really good
<v Speaker 1>sleep that night, so I couldn't really focus. So I
<v Speaker 1>rewatched it again, and from when I first saw it,
<v Speaker 1>I was sort of annoyed that there was no like
<v Speaker 1>new angles coming through or you know, any major surprises
<v Speaker 1>or returns or something crazy to happen. But then as
<v Speaker 1>I sort of went back and watched it again, I
<v Speaker 1>think it was a really good Night Too show. I
<v Speaker 1>think there were some really really good matches here. I
<v Speaker 1>was a big fan of the main event. I think
<v Speaker 1>the main event was incredible. The pace of the match
<v Speaker 1>was unbelievable, there were some really good spots in it,
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it was a perfect main event match. Like,
<v Speaker 1>I think it was just really well done.
<v Speaker 2>It was great to see Finbala as.
<v Speaker 1>The Demon turning that to a street fight was really
<v Speaker 1>good getting seeing Trick Williams do what he'd done, like
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue on with it, but like match by match,
<v Speaker 1>but essentially, I think Night two definitely saved Night one
<v Speaker 1>because if Night one or Night two was exactly like
<v Speaker 1>nine one, it would have been rubbish. But honestly, the
<v Speaker 1>advertisement bloody joke. They need to stop that. Like, I
<v Speaker 1>know they want to make money, but they are killing
<v Speaker 1>the brand and.
<v Speaker 2>It's just killing the viewer experience.
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's just it's just can you be more
<v Speaker 1>subtle with trying to make money, Like, seriously, we want
<v Speaker 1>a good product. People want to come and watch and
<v Speaker 1>enjoy this, and killing it with advertisement just hurts.
<v Speaker 2>Like already adding these these celebrities.
<v Speaker 1>Which I know I'm going to get to Speed, but
<v Speaker 1>like Speed, little Yady, Jully, Roll, Pat McAfee, they are
<v Speaker 1>obviously viewplays and I like it, but when it's forced,
<v Speaker 1>it's just frustrating. But we'll get onto the very first match,
<v Speaker 1>which was Speed and the Vision of Austin Veria and
<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul taking on al a Night and the USOS,
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you, really impressed with what Speed's doing.
<v Speaker 1>I think he has the potential to potentially, you know,
<v Speaker 1>have a career in WW. I know he's doing a
<v Speaker 1>lot of things right now, but he's only twenty one
<v Speaker 1>years old. He's a high flyer, he's super athletic, and
<v Speaker 1>he looked absolutely chiseled in there, So you know, credit
<v Speaker 1>where credits due for Speed. Obviously he had that spot
<v Speaker 1>with Logan Paul doing that speed splash from the ring
<v Speaker 1>like corner to the announced table.
<v Speaker 2>That was impressive.
<v Speaker 1>But the match overall obviously l A Night getting the
<v Speaker 1>victory there with sort of Speed getting pushed into Austin Theory.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I think the main moral of this story
<v Speaker 1>was to obviously get l A.
<v Speaker 2>Knight and the USSOS involved. Definitely La Night.
<v Speaker 1>It could have been an argument that Bronson Reed would
<v Speaker 1>have taken Speed spot, but getting Speed in there was
<v Speaker 1>really good.
<v Speaker 2>And you know the whole.
<v Speaker 1>Purpose of this was to you know, eventually blame Speed,
<v Speaker 1>which is what the vision ended up doing, attacking him
<v Speaker 1>and you know, having a feel good ending there with
<v Speaker 1>Speed going back to being you know, the good guy
<v Speaker 1>in this and you know, attacking Logan Paul and attacking
<v Speaker 1>Austin Theory. But you know, it was a really good match,
<v Speaker 1>I would say, but I think it was definitely too short.
<v Speaker 2>And then we had the street.
<v Speaker 1>Fight between Drew McIntire and Jacob Fattu.
<v Speaker 2>It was a great angle.
<v Speaker 1>I really liked the fact that the toolbox was something
<v Speaker 1>that Drew McIntire was scarred from, especially going back to
<v Speaker 1>when Punk and Drew McIntyre faced each other in hel
<v Speaker 1>In Nasal, that massive spot where you know, Sampunk smashed
<v Speaker 1>Drew McIntyre with the toolbox, and I think that was
<v Speaker 1>a legit, real like blood coming out. Like obviously sometimes
<v Speaker 1>they bladed themselves, but that was legit. That felt legit,
<v Speaker 1>and you know it took.
<v Speaker 2>Him back to that moment.
<v Speaker 1>We obviously had Drew McIntire throwing the wrench into Jacob Fatu.
<v Speaker 1>We had some really good spots, and then obviously ended
<v Speaker 1>with the fact that at the part where Jaco Fadu
<v Speaker 1>did hit Drew McIntire with the toolbox and then hit
<v Speaker 1>the small the moon Salt and got the victory there,
<v Speaker 1>which is a massive.
<v Speaker 2>Win for Jacob Fatou.
<v Speaker 1>I think, as I mentioned, I did expect Jaci Fatwu
<v Speaker 1>to win this one because obviously I think he needs
<v Speaker 1>it more than Drew, and I think Drew can continue
<v Speaker 1>going on this run of getting screwed over and continuing
<v Speaker 1>to wreak havoc and be unpredictable on SmackDown, and that's
<v Speaker 1>what we want to see.
<v Speaker 2>We know he got stitched up.
<v Speaker 1>We've not been able to defend the title, but I
<v Speaker 1>think he did a really good job here, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>they had these two matches to eventually hype you up
<v Speaker 1>to buy FPN Premium. International viewers didn't have that luxury.
<v Speaker 1>We were able to just obviously continue on with Netflix,
<v Speaker 1>which I think is a luxury more so. And that
<v Speaker 1>led us to sort of the next matches as well,
<v Speaker 1>which started with the women's Fatal four way tag team
<v Speaker 1>title match. We had Bailey and La Valkyria. We had
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair and Lexa Bliss, we had Naya Jacks and
<v Speaker 1>Lash Legend, and then we had the Balatwins and we
<v Speaker 1>all knew that Nikki Balla could potentially.
<v Speaker 2>Miss this out due to her injury.
<v Speaker 1>It was heavily sort of announced and reported and also, unfortunately,
<v Speaker 1>because you know, WW loves to spoil anything online, I
<v Speaker 1>sort of knew that Page is coming back the day before.
<v Speaker 1>I would have loved that they kept out a secret.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why the fans weren't sort of too crazy.
<v Speaker 2>They did pop for her for her return.
<v Speaker 1>It's been almost like eight years since just come back,
<v Speaker 1>and obviously she's unbelievable.
<v Speaker 2>She's a key figure in the women's Revolution.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it was sort of spoiled for everyone,
<v Speaker 1>so even for myself, but I was really glad to
<v Speaker 1>see her there obviously coming back and.
<v Speaker 2>You know, they got the victory. The match was pretty decent.
<v Speaker 2>You know.
<v Speaker 1>The most interesting thing, and people probably have looked over this,
<v Speaker 1>is that you know, Alexa Bliss had the opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>stop and help Charlotte Flair. And the reason why I
<v Speaker 1>bring this up and why it's so important is because
<v Speaker 1>if you saw the episode on s Backdown before WrestleMania,
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair did say to Alexa Bliss that going for
<v Speaker 1>titles is more important than friendships. Although she appreciates friendships,
<v Speaker 1>going for titles is more important. So when Alexa Bliss
<v Speaker 1>was looking at Charlotte Flair getting attacked by Nicki Balla
<v Speaker 1>with the crutches, she obviously was prioritizing the opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>win the tag team titles instead of helping her friend
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair in that situation. So she saw what happened,
<v Speaker 1>saw her get attacked, proceeded to go for the twisted
<v Speaker 1>Bliss onto page. She was lying there instead of attacking
<v Speaker 1>Niki Balla. And you can make an argument that if
<v Speaker 1>you attack Nikialla there you go back in the ring
<v Speaker 1>and you can potentially win the match, and Charlotte Fair
<v Speaker 1>is available.
<v Speaker 2>You don't know, that's probably gonna be the stotly between
<v Speaker 2>those two.
<v Speaker 1>But that allowed for Page to accounter and you know,
<v Speaker 1>hit the rampage and get the one two three victory
<v Speaker 1>and we have new women's tag team champions. You know.
<v Speaker 2>So that's going to be the.
<v Speaker 1>Interesting storyline after this is how Charlotte Flair and Alexiblist
<v Speaker 1>come back from it. I think those two need to
<v Speaker 1>go their separate rais. Do they need to be feuding?
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, but like I just keep that
<v Speaker 1>in mind. That's something that I sort of picked up
<v Speaker 1>in this match out of all things, is that, you know,
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte alex Obliz had the chance to sort of help
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Flair but chose to go for the titles, which
<v Speaker 1>is something.
<v Speaker 2>That Charlotte Flair said was a priority anyway.
<v Speaker 1>So that's going to be an interesting angle, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>that's something that I just picked up in that match.
<v Speaker 1>But again, it's really good to see Page back. As
<v Speaker 1>I said, she was one of the main sort of
<v Speaker 1>drivers in the Women's Revolution, and you know, we can't
<v Speaker 1>go back to the fact that the rule after WrestleMania
<v Speaker 1>should be aj for the titles, like a really iconic
<v Speaker 1>moment and something that you know was awesome and gave
<v Speaker 1>us a really good rule after WrestleMania moment.
<v Speaker 2>And you know, she's back now.
<v Speaker 1>I think she's gonna be back for a while, So
<v Speaker 1>hopefully she does some good things. Maybe we see her
<v Speaker 1>and aj running back. I think that would be awesome.
<v Speaker 2>They obviously have a lot of history.
<v Speaker 1>Of each other, and you know, getting people like Paige
<v Speaker 1>and aj Lee back just opens the floor for so
<v Speaker 1>many feuds and that's something that I'm like super keen
<v Speaker 1>to see when it comes to this.
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that pretty much wraps up that match, and.
<v Speaker 1>Then we'll move on sort of to the second match
<v Speaker 1>of sort of the main show rather than the pre show,
<v Speaker 1>and that was.
<v Speaker 2>Becky Lynch taking on aj Lee.
<v Speaker 1>You know, Becky retained the title after so many attempts
<v Speaker 1>of trying to cheat, and you know, that beef.
<v Speaker 2>With Jessica Jessica Carr.
<v Speaker 1>Continues to go on and on, and I generally thought
<v Speaker 1>at a stage, you know, when I was doing the prediction,
<v Speaker 1>I thought Becky Lynch would win it just because to
<v Speaker 1>be honest, the betting markets said that I lost the
<v Speaker 1>bets anyway, and I'll tell you why.
<v Speaker 2>At the end, that was really frustrating.
<v Speaker 1>But Jessica Carr in this match, I would have thought
<v Speaker 1>maybe would have helped a j Lee because of the
<v Speaker 1>beef between those two, would have led to something, but
<v Speaker 1>it ended up not being the case. Despite having chances.
<v Speaker 1>Just a A guy gave Becky Lynch, she didn't disqualify her.
<v Speaker 1>She obviously used Jessica Kay as a shield to sort
<v Speaker 1>of distract a j Lee and then take advantage of
<v Speaker 1>that opportunity to hit her with the man handle stamp,
<v Speaker 1>and that did get her the victory there.
<v Speaker 2>So you know, A j Lee was really good in
<v Speaker 2>this match. But I don't think this match.
<v Speaker 1>Was anything super crazy. I think now these two needs
<v Speaker 1>to move on from each other.
<v Speaker 2>I think we've seen enough.
<v Speaker 1>Of those two. Maybe not maybe at Backlash they go again.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's great to see a j Lee
<v Speaker 1>back at WrestleMania.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she.
<v Speaker 1>Is at the same level she was years ago, and like,
<v Speaker 1>that's not I knock on her, that's just obviously the
<v Speaker 1>fact that she's been away for so long.
<v Speaker 2>But I'd love to see I.
<v Speaker 1>Don't know a bit more better in ring performance. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe I'm being too critical, but the match
<v Speaker 1>wasn't long enough for me to sort of reflect on
<v Speaker 1>it there.
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it continues.
<v Speaker 1>We continue to beef with Jessica car Tim to beef
<v Speaker 1>with Becky Lynch, and I'm sort of more keen and
<v Speaker 1>compelled to see what's gonna happen with that rather than
<v Speaker 1>now aj Lee and Becky Lynch, because I think it's
<v Speaker 1>sort of, you know, been wrapped up in that aspect.
<v Speaker 2>But you know that pretty much sort of my opinion
<v Speaker 2>on that match, Yeah, it was.
<v Speaker 1>It was quite average, and I think the right decision
<v Speaker 1>was made until sort of, you know, we see what
<v Speaker 1>happens after this, whether they go again or you know,
<v Speaker 1>like I just want to know what's what's going on
<v Speaker 1>with just Becky Lynch. Is this is gonna happen the whole time?
<v Speaker 1>Is just a car gonna actually wrestle? Is it gonna
<v Speaker 1>be Is this going to be addressed or it's just
<v Speaker 1>gonna be something that happens all the time. That's what
<v Speaker 1>sort of I took from that match, more so than
<v Speaker 1>the match itself, which is you know, like, look, Night one,
<v Speaker 1>I guess Night one wasn't my favorite, so that's probably
<v Speaker 1>why I wasn't really focusing on the match itself. And
<v Speaker 1>then we had Guntha and Seth Rowlins, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>this match was probably the best match of the night in.
<v Speaker 2>Terms of just wrestling display.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when you have someone like Gunthera and
<v Speaker 1>someone like Seth roll and the opportunity to you know,
<v Speaker 1>get them in ring without really good storyline is probably
<v Speaker 1>the worst case the best case scenario for these two
<v Speaker 1>and for a situation, because you know that despite the
<v Speaker 1>storyline being sort of forced and them not actually really
<v Speaker 1>feuding with each other, you're gonna get a really good match.
<v Speaker 2>And this one certainly didn't disappoint.
<v Speaker 1>But sort of the main highlight of this was obviously
<v Speaker 1>the fact that bron Breaker came in and speared set Rolins,
<v Speaker 1>something that I did expect and something that I predicted,
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, sometimes it's good when you predict
<v Speaker 1>something and it happens. It's great, Like especially bron Breaker
<v Speaker 1>coming back.
<v Speaker 2>Like how good is that? Like we really missed him.
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we really missed him, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>him coming back spearing Sept Rolins allowing Gunza to put
<v Speaker 1>the sleeper and pass out seth Rollins great, didn't get
<v Speaker 1>him to tap out, also good protects him and then
<v Speaker 1>that's seventy five dash spear. Look, I know he didn't
<v Speaker 1>hit the spear well, but the fact that he was
<v Speaker 1>able to dash and you know, still execute do the
<v Speaker 1>flip was quite awesome. And you know, I miss I
<v Speaker 1>missed brom Breaker, so it's good to have him back.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, so we're moving on to those two
<v Speaker 1>definitely feuding with each other for a really long time,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm excited to see where that goes. I think, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>best case scenario for this match, and definitely the best
<v Speaker 1>match of the night as well. Gunha probably from what
<v Speaker 1>I've heard, could be taking on Roman Reins in the future,
<v Speaker 1>so you know, look out for that.
<v Speaker 2>There is a lot of rumors there.
<v Speaker 1>We thought maybe it would be brock Lesna, but we
<v Speaker 1>obviously heard the news of that.
<v Speaker 2>I'll get to that. Obviously that might not be the.
<v Speaker 1>Case now, So maybe Roman Rains is on the cards
<v Speaker 1>for Gunsa and that one will be really exciting. And
<v Speaker 1>then we had like this has gotta be the worst
<v Speaker 1>match and it's no fault of these two in terms
<v Speaker 1>of just the timings that they got, Like five minutes
<v Speaker 1>is just a complete joke. Live Morgan taking on Stephanievacaire
<v Speaker 1>Live Morgan obviously performing her song that she released. I'm
<v Speaker 1>not sure if that's going to be her permanent song
<v Speaker 1>going forward. It could, I wouldn't be surprised, but I
<v Speaker 1>do sort of like her song. And then stephanieva Kire
<v Speaker 1>coming out to a new song, which is can we
<v Speaker 1>go back to her old song please? I just knew
<v Speaker 1>song is trash, Like, I'm not a big fan of
<v Speaker 1>this song. I really missed her old song that she
<v Speaker 1>was that she came in with. I don't know why
<v Speaker 1>they need to change her theme. I don't think it
<v Speaker 1>was necessary. But you know, these two are like my
<v Speaker 1>favorite women in the division as well. And to see
<v Speaker 1>this match go like this, where you had Stephanievacare click
<v Speaker 1>out of Oblivion, which only one person kicked out of that,
<v Speaker 1>and that was real Ripley in a match like this,
<v Speaker 1>like it's just disappointing because that move is obviously such
<v Speaker 1>a strong finisher, and then you get it ruined by
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you know the match was too short.
<v Speaker 2>It just kills you.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, obviously Ricar Rodriguez and Roxane Perez came
<v Speaker 1>in and interfered and that sort of helped liv Morgan
<v Speaker 1>get the victory.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think overall it was well deserved.
<v Speaker 1>I think Living Morgan deserves to have the title. I
<v Speaker 1>think she's been amazing since she's returned and continues to
<v Speaker 1>be amazing. And obviously, I think Stephanievacaire did all she
<v Speaker 1>could with the title and this run, I don't think
<v Speaker 1>there was much more out of it. I don't think
<v Speaker 1>there is. There's nothing on the cards for her after this.
<v Speaker 1>I think she'll bounce back really solidly. Maybe she'll get
<v Speaker 1>a rematch, but you know, I think there'll be another
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for her to be another women's champion again. But
<v Speaker 1>as for Live Morgan, I think, you know, we're really
<v Speaker 1>excited to see what happens with her. You've obviously got
<v Speaker 1>Rica Rodriguez being there, and I think I suspect that
<v Speaker 1>those two are going to take on each other in
<v Speaker 1>the future and turn on each other, So you know.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's good. We'll see if she has a new music.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I'm very happy for her, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>she earned it, won the royal rum, well did it roll?
<v Speaker 1>And she's women's champion again. And then we have the
<v Speaker 1>main event Cody Rhoads taking on Randy Orten, and you
<v Speaker 1>know what, like the fact that they are trying to
<v Speaker 1>justify Pat McAfee being the guy that everyone dislikes, and
<v Speaker 1>then everyone's saying that, oh.
<v Speaker 2>He brought the views. All this this this is.
<v Speaker 1>Just out of bullshit and it's actually pissed me off
<v Speaker 1>because you have Cody Rhoads, you have Randy Orden, who
<v Speaker 1>have long live asking history together.
<v Speaker 2>Why the f would we need.
<v Speaker 1>To bring someone in like Pat McAfee, And he just
<v Speaker 1>made it a lot worse, even in the main event,
<v Speaker 1>just made it about him, like people were saying, oh,
<v Speaker 1>Pat McAfee is the one that brings the views, and
<v Speaker 1>everyone hurts him like you just wanted someone to be
<v Speaker 1>clearly hated. And it's not even Pat McAfee himself, it's
<v Speaker 1>his fault. It's just the fact that he's obviously an
<v Speaker 1>ESPN employee and ESPN pushed him to be in there
<v Speaker 1>is bullshit because the fact is is that he came in.
<v Speaker 1>He obviously came attacked Cody Roads at the start mc
<v Speaker 1>for Randy Orden and then Jolly Roll who Jolly Roll
<v Speaker 1>had to get involved as well. Fox splashed him through
<v Speaker 1>the table, caused him to be injured, came back out.
<v Speaker 1>We had a really good match with Randy and Cody
<v Speaker 1>solely alone. Opportunity.
<v Speaker 2>Again, this could have just been built for a long time.
<v Speaker 2>Their few, their history, didn't need Pat McAfee.
<v Speaker 1>Don't know why he was in it, but yeah, we
<v Speaker 1>had these two battling it out, and you know, Cody Rhodes.
<v Speaker 2>Very hilly, very very hilly.
<v Speaker 1>I think the hill turn is coming, guys, I don't
<v Speaker 1>know when, but they've been teasing it for so long.
<v Speaker 1>And look, Randy Orten obviously is the quote unquote heel here,
<v Speaker 1>but no one hates him, so it wouldn't make sense
<v Speaker 1>for someone like Randy Orton to be the one that's
<v Speaker 1>heavily booed. Cody Roads was clearly heavily booed here, but
<v Speaker 1>he not only was heavily booed, he was acting like
<v Speaker 1>a heel. You saw the distraction, kicking Randy Orton with
<v Speaker 1>a low blow, trying to take advantage of opportunities to
<v Speaker 1>win the match, like.
<v Speaker 2>It was crazy.
<v Speaker 1>And then you had Pat McAfee come out and you
<v Speaker 1>knew it was going to happen. He obviously didn't count
<v Speaker 1>quick enough, and at.
<v Speaker 2>That point I knew straight away that Randy Ordon wasn't
<v Speaker 2>gonna be happy because that was a really, really slow count.
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to.
<v Speaker 1>Come in and rever match and you know, do a
<v Speaker 1>help try to help Brandy Ord to win, you're gonna
<v Speaker 1>have to count quick Given that Pack mcafeeney, he got
<v Speaker 1>punished for it, hit the RK on him again.
<v Speaker 2>They made it about him, and.
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Cody Rhoads took the opportunity and hit a cross
<v Speaker 1>Roads on Randy Ordon to get the victory in In
<v Speaker 1>a surprise for me, I got this one completely wrong.
<v Speaker 1>It cost me money as well, because I bet it
<v Speaker 1>on multiple matches for Night one and this was the
<v Speaker 1>only one that cost me. So I'm a bit shatted
<v Speaker 1>about that, But otherwise, you know what, I actually don't
<v Speaker 1>mind the decision. I think it's the right decision for
<v Speaker 1>Cody Roads to retain the title. I didn't consider the
<v Speaker 1>fact that Pat McAfee could screw Randy Ord and over
<v Speaker 1>I misjudged that, and I kind of liked it because
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he obviously purposely did it, but it
<v Speaker 1>was great to see that. You know, he obviously Randy
<v Speaker 1>On it gets away from Pat McAfee.
<v Speaker 2>And now the fact that after the match.
<v Speaker 1>We had Randy attack Cody Rhoads and then punt him,
<v Speaker 1>which was really exciting. I was so happy that punt
<v Speaker 1>came back. I'm so happy that Randy Oorden actually punted
<v Speaker 1>Cody Roads.
<v Speaker 2>We're getting a continuation of this feud.
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, for a long time, we've never
<v Speaker 1>seen a main event match end where all in a
<v Speaker 1>long time, really I can't probably the last time would
<v Speaker 1>have been Seth Rolin's cashing in, where the feud will continue,
<v Speaker 1>and obviously Randy On is not going to let this
<v Speaker 1>one go.
<v Speaker 2>So that was some positive. That's why I was happy
<v Speaker 2>about it.
<v Speaker 1>That's why I also like the fact that Cody retained
<v Speaker 1>because now I'm hoping that we're just getting the history
<v Speaker 1>between these two and it's just going to be about
<v Speaker 1>these two. The only way that I could justify Pat
<v Speaker 1>McAfee being back is if he somehow decides to ally.
<v Speaker 2>With Cody Rhoads. That would be interesting that that then
<v Speaker 2>I'd be interested in.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie like Cody Roads Turning Hill and
<v Speaker 1>you know, joining forces with Pat McAfee would be compelling.
<v Speaker 1>I think that would be more compelling than you know,
<v Speaker 1>Pat McAfee, you know, just basically being like sucking up
<v Speaker 1>to Randy Orden and just hyping him up. I just
<v Speaker 1>don't think Randy Orton needs someone to do that for him.
<v Speaker 1>And hopefully that's put to bed after that Arko. But
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, you get my drift here, like
<v Speaker 1>Cody Rhoads, he'll vibes is good match itself, was decent
<v Speaker 1>ending I liked in terms of the punt.
<v Speaker 2>But just Pat McAfee really ruined this for me.
<v Speaker 1>And that's why people are buying him. They're not buying
<v Speaker 1>him because they don't like him. They actually really like him.
<v Speaker 1>They're doing him because he doesn't belong. He didn't deserve
<v Speaker 1>to be in this part, and they should have learned
<v Speaker 1>from Travior Scott like like I like Travis Scott, Pac
<v Speaker 1>McAfee actually cares for the business and wouldn't be clumsy
<v Speaker 1>and they like him, so there's a difference there.
<v Speaker 2>But I just don't think we needed him here. We
<v Speaker 2>may need him later if he is going to join
<v Speaker 2>with Credy Roads. I'm not against that.
<v Speaker 1>But hopefully now since Randy Orans obviously punsed Curdy Roads,
<v Speaker 1>that might mean Cody Rose might be out for a while,
<v Speaker 1>they get to continue their feud and it might be
<v Speaker 1>mainly just focused on those two.
<v Speaker 2>That would be That would be lovely.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, overall, you know, not the biggest fan of this,
<v Speaker 1>of this WrestleMania, or than the first night for that matter,
<v Speaker 1>because you know, it's just the matches were too short,
<v Speaker 1>too many advertisements, and it was quite bland. Like I'm
<v Speaker 1>so glad that this was the first night main event
<v Speaker 1>because you know, it makes it a lot better. And
<v Speaker 1>obviously day two recovers, which we get too straight away.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it started off with a bang over
<v Speaker 1>for me coming out massive pop, massive chance, you know,
<v Speaker 1>really good. He's really over at the moment, and he
<v Speaker 1>takes on brock Lesna. The match ends in five minutes.
<v Speaker 1>You had brock Lesna f fiveing ober Femi. He didn't
<v Speaker 1>sell the move, got up straight away, hit a choke
<v Speaker 1>slam and then hit a four from Grace and you know,
<v Speaker 1>got the victory there ober Femi within five minutes getting there.
<v Speaker 1>But that's not the main story. The main story is
<v Speaker 1>that brock Lesner looks to be officially retired and had
<v Speaker 1>his last match, and you could see the raw emotion
<v Speaker 1>from brock Lesna crying at the end and even Paul Hayman.
<v Speaker 1>It was quite an emotional moment. And you know, brock
<v Speaker 1>Lessn has done a lot for the company. Man, he's
<v Speaker 1>a beast. He was, you know, he's been fantastic ever
<v Speaker 1>since he's you know, been a part of WWE, and
<v Speaker 1>even when he's come back, he's always had massive pops.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big fan of brock Lesna. Obviously the allegations
<v Speaker 1>probably didn't help the tail end of his career, but
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think he finished off in style. I
<v Speaker 1>would have thought maybe that Gunther's favor would have been
<v Speaker 1>or Paul Hayman's favorite to Gunha would have been to
<v Speaker 1>verse brock Lesna and him be the one to end
<v Speaker 1>his career. But I think brock Lesner left on his
<v Speaker 1>own terms, went out on his own terms, got squashed
<v Speaker 1>and you know.
<v Speaker 2>Finished off really well.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's the last time we'll probably see brock
<v Speaker 1>Lesna wrestling in a ww ring, unless he does miraculously
<v Speaker 1>come back, but I doubt it. What a hell of
<v Speaker 1>a Korea and a great way to sort of end off,
<v Speaker 1>you know, his career, passing the reins to ober Femi,
<v Speaker 1>who you know he's pushing. Potentially it's verse Roman Rains
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year. So you know, ober
<v Speaker 1>Femi is is red hot at the moment, and I
<v Speaker 1>think they need to take this match and put him
<v Speaker 1>to the moon and put a rock on him, because
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's got the fans, He's got the power,
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, ober Femi's massive, massive at the moment.
<v Speaker 2>And I was actually really excited for this match going
<v Speaker 2>into it. I'm not gonna lie. Of all matches, I
<v Speaker 2>was so keen to watch this, and you know, I
<v Speaker 2>did deliver. Was obviously a short match, but.
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think for very obvious reasons, brock Lesna
<v Speaker 1>having his last match and not being able to really
<v Speaker 1>continue on and carry as much as he can.
<v Speaker 2>And then we had the second pre show match, which
<v Speaker 2>was the six man ladder match.
<v Speaker 1>Man, I love ladder matches, and this one definitely did
<v Speaker 1>not disappoint. We had a bunch of really really good spots.
<v Speaker 1>We obviously had I think the spot of the night,
<v Speaker 1>which was the Mexican Destroyer on the ladder. Just an
<v Speaker 1>amazing move and the fact that pent is able to
<v Speaker 1>safely execute it just goes.
<v Speaker 2>To show how much of a good loot Atoll and
<v Speaker 2>wrestler he is. Man.
<v Speaker 1>He's just elite, and I'm glad he also retained as well.
<v Speaker 1>There were some moments where you thought Jovon Evans was
<v Speaker 1>going to win, Jada McDonald was going to win, Remisterio, Reserve,
<v Speaker 1>they all had opportunity given dragon Ly to win this,
<v Speaker 1>but it ended up going to Penta. I was a
<v Speaker 1>bit annoyed that the fact that we didn't get to
<v Speaker 1>see the entries of Reserve, dragon Ly and Jada mcdonnald.
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really frustrating. The fact that the ads
<v Speaker 1>went over that is quite disrespectful. I have to be honest,
<v Speaker 1>because I just think if you're at WrestleMania, you should
<v Speaker 1>be able to have your entrance sort of showcase to
<v Speaker 1>the world, and the fact that they put ads over
<v Speaker 1>that is quite is quite disappointing. But you know, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we had that spot, We had the Spanish Fly, we
<v Speaker 1>had the og Cutter, we had that crazy sort of
<v Speaker 1>I guess jump from Ramasterio going on.
<v Speaker 2>To russef which was which was really good as well.
<v Speaker 1>I think this match really delivered, and you know, the
<v Speaker 1>Lucha Dors did a really good job as well, and
<v Speaker 1>it's great to see Ramisteria continue to just you know,
<v Speaker 1>lace up the boots and perform like he has because
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's elite. I have to say, like, so,
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, really really impressed with that one.
<v Speaker 2>And then we're moving on to sort of the main
<v Speaker 2>matches as well.
<v Speaker 1>Now, after the pre matches with Trick Williams taking on
<v Speaker 1>sammy' zaane, we had Little Yardi come out again.
<v Speaker 2>He was a bit cringe with his.
<v Speaker 1>Ad lips and I gotta say, look, I wasn't in
<v Speaker 1>the crowd for the the Trick Williams entrance. I know
<v Speaker 1>someone that did, so I probably will ask them how
<v Speaker 1>the noise was, because honestly, it was so quiet. But
<v Speaker 1>from what I heard on TV, it was actually really
<v Speaker 1>quiet and actually frustrated because I expected them to be.
<v Speaker 2>A lot louder when Trick Williams came out. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if Little YARDI ruined that.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if people were just tired of just
<v Speaker 1>saying it a hundred times, but I expected the crowd
<v Speaker 1>to be a bit more sort of reved up and
<v Speaker 1>hyped up for when Trick Williams came out.
<v Speaker 2>They were obviously very loud booze to.
<v Speaker 1>Samise Ain and you know, rightly, so I think it's
<v Speaker 1>time that we see a change in samuse Ain. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that speaks for itself. But we did have Trick Williams
<v Speaker 1>getting the victory.
<v Speaker 2>Here with the trick shot. Loui YARDI tried to help.
<v Speaker 1>He obviously copped a bump into the into the sidewall,
<v Speaker 1>getting flipped around, so Louiyardy gets his WrestleMania moments as well.
<v Speaker 2>There it went for seven minutes. It wasn't long. I
<v Speaker 2>feel like it could have been a lot longer.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think Kamala Hayes really deserved to
<v Speaker 1>be in this match, and I think it would have
<v Speaker 1>been a lot better if he was there.
<v Speaker 2>So, you know, I wasn't a big.
<v Speaker 1>Fan this match overall, but I was a fan of
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Trick Williams is the new United States Champion.
<v Speaker 1>I think well deserved, and I think we're going to
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of really good stuff with him as well.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm super keen.
<v Speaker 1>To sort of, you know, see the next step for
<v Speaker 1>these new superstars and Trick Williams because I think he's
<v Speaker 1>been amazing and I'm a big fan of him, so that.
<v Speaker 2>Will be good.
<v Speaker 1>And as for Sammy's Ain, you know he's going to
<v Speaker 1>be around, maybe he'll turn on the fans and officially
<v Speaker 1>go heel. It's so organic, so I think they should
<v Speaker 1>just pull the trigger on it. And then we had
<v Speaker 1>Dom Masterio taking on the Demon.
<v Speaker 2>They just called him the Demon.
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't Finnbala, but how cool was it to see
<v Speaker 1>the Demon come out? And he wasn't losing this match?
<v Speaker 1>There was no chance he was losing it. He dominated
<v Speaker 1>from the get go. We had a few opportunities for
<v Speaker 1>Dom to sort of get in and get involved. He
<v Speaker 1>had a few six to one nines, but it ended
<v Speaker 1>up being a street fight, which probably was something that
<v Speaker 1>we needed on this night, like a match of stipulation,
<v Speaker 1>and it took Finn Bala a kudogosh through the table
<v Speaker 1>to get the victory. Here did really good, like he
<v Speaker 1>continues to just be massive. You know, I think he
<v Speaker 1>might potentially win money in the bank, Like I think
<v Speaker 1>the way sort of his going. He obviously doesn't have
<v Speaker 1>an Intercontinental title on him I think it'd be perfect
<v Speaker 1>for him to win the money in the bank. I'm
<v Speaker 1>not sure if that's going to happen, but you know,
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where his next stage goes. As for
<v Speaker 1>sort of Finnbala no idea, like I think now that
<v Speaker 1>he's been this demon character, I don't think he's just
<v Speaker 1>gonna he's going to bring it up again, but I
<v Speaker 1>think there's a big opportunity for him to sort of,
<v Speaker 1>you know, do something really really big this year, now
<v Speaker 1>that the shackles are off, now he's not part of
<v Speaker 1>the judgment day, now that he's a really good babyface,
<v Speaker 1>he's obviously an unreal in ring performer and he showed
<v Speaker 1>that tonight and so did Dom to be fair, So
<v Speaker 1>I think don't be surprised if Finn Balleen goes for
<v Speaker 1>main titles again. But you know, the Demon hopefully it
<v Speaker 1>comes back again. It's really good to see that back.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. It was. It was such a
<v Speaker 1>throwback to when he won the Universal title the first ever,
<v Speaker 1>I add, and then we had Jade Cargole taking on
<v Speaker 1>Ria Ripley, and you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, Ripley looked really different. Didn't hate it.
<v Speaker 1>I just was really different, and you know, Jay Cargle
<v Speaker 1>looked like a machine, a storm. You know, she just
<v Speaker 1>looks the part. Let's be honest, It's it's quite amazing
<v Speaker 1>how good she looks. And you know what, she backed
<v Speaker 1>up her looks with a really, really really good performance,
<v Speaker 1>one of her best in ring performances. She's obviously improved
<v Speaker 1>so much and she's come and done a really really
<v Speaker 1>good job.
<v Speaker 2>She lasted ten minutes in ring. I was really impressed.
<v Speaker 1>And the way that the match ended was obviously we
<v Speaker 1>had Meetchit and Beefab try to come in and interfere
<v Speaker 1>with the match. That's where er Skuy and honestly pains
<v Speaker 1>me that Eskuy did not get on the WrestleMania card.
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, it really did pain me that she
<v Speaker 1>did not make the WrestleMania card. But she comes in
<v Speaker 1>and obviously interferes and helps rear Ripley, and you could
<v Speaker 1>say that it was a big part.
<v Speaker 2>In her getting the victory.
<v Speaker 1>There. We thought Jake Cargle was going to potentially hit
<v Speaker 1>the jaded and you know, block off the rip tie,
<v Speaker 1>but ended up being double counted and Rare Ripley gets
<v Speaker 1>the victory and is the new women's champion as well,
<v Speaker 1>so it looks like she might be moving on to SmackDown,
<v Speaker 1>which I think will be really big. And you know,
<v Speaker 1>Jake Cargo did a lot of good things to the title,
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's time for Real Ripley to sort
<v Speaker 1>of continue to just show her poweress and she's the
<v Speaker 1>women's champion, I think, well deserved. But you know, it
<v Speaker 1>was all about Jake Cargle and the questions coming in
<v Speaker 1>if she was able to sort of step up with
<v Speaker 1>the best, and I think she certainly proved it and
<v Speaker 1>she's going to continue to I think, be a dominant
<v Speaker 1>force in the women's division as she continues to improve
<v Speaker 1>in ring. Yeah, she really impressed me tonight and I
<v Speaker 1>think that was the main thing that I saw. And
<v Speaker 1>then we had a little bit of fun with John
<v Speaker 1>cenaw Dan Housen with all the sort of midget housings
<v Speaker 1>which was which is quite funny, one of them kicking
<v Speaker 1>the missing the balls and attacking Kit Wilson, as well
<v Speaker 1>as little segment to sort of just yet cool off
<v Speaker 1>everything like Dan Housen's been unbelievable. You could have made
<v Speaker 1>an argument that Kit Wilson and the Miss could have
<v Speaker 1>potentially tag teams with Dan Housen and Jolly Role for
<v Speaker 1>a WrestleMania moment, but obviously not much space in the card.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Kit Wilson continues to do really good stuff,
<v Speaker 1>and Dan Housen is just you know, he's taken over
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, Like you wouldn't expect this, but he's
<v Speaker 1>just been really, really impressive. I have a lot of
<v Speaker 1>friends that are not even like wrestling fans, that are
<v Speaker 1>like literally obsessed with Dan Housen.
<v Speaker 2>Like every time I speak to.
<v Speaker 1>Him, they literally just like add house into everything they say. Now,
<v Speaker 1>So for people that are not big wrestling fans, the
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's reaching out to them is quite impressive.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, everyone talks about him and it's made
<v Speaker 1>me more excited to sort of follow his journey, so
<v Speaker 1>I can obviously pass it on to my non wrestling
<v Speaker 1>friends or fans.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Dan Housen has done a good job.
<v Speaker 1>But we go on to the main event, and man,
<v Speaker 1>this main event was unbelievable, I have to be honest.
<v Speaker 1>For a match didn't have any surprises, any turns, anything.
<v Speaker 3>That was like groundbreaking, just a straight one on one
<v Speaker 3>wrestling match. It was really really good, and it went
<v Speaker 3>for a thirty three minutes or almost thirty or almost
<v Speaker 3>thirty four minutes.
<v Speaker 2>And it had everything.
<v Speaker 1>He had, slow pace, he had, he had very good
<v Speaker 1>sort of moves, It had spots, it had like these
<v Speaker 1>two worked really well together in the ring, and like
<v Speaker 1>you could just tell that this had Main Event ridden
<v Speaker 1>all over it. And you know, you had the table shots,
<v Speaker 1>like the announcer table got absolutely destroyed in this match.
<v Speaker 1>You had the high elbow, the selling both guys had.
<v Speaker 1>Sampunk had his like headbusted wide open. You had them
<v Speaker 1>like just basically deflating. And that was in the end,
<v Speaker 1>Like you could say that Dan Housen cursed Sampunk because
<v Speaker 1>as Seampunk was going for the second GTS, he just
<v Speaker 1>faded out and that allowed for Roman Reigns to hit
<v Speaker 1>the spear and then hit a second spear to become
<v Speaker 1>World Heavyweight Champion.
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I think it was the right decision.
<v Speaker 2>The OTC is back.
<v Speaker 1>And it seems as though if you go look at
<v Speaker 1>the post wrestling show, Roman Rains is looking to be
<v Speaker 1>full time for the whole summer. So we're going to
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of Roman Reigns and that might lead
<v Speaker 1>to potentially him feuding with Gunfar.
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm not sure.
<v Speaker 1>Sampunk is not the type to take days off, but
<v Speaker 1>we might see a bit of a rest for him.
<v Speaker 1>I think him and A J Lee truly deserve to
<v Speaker 1>have a bit of time off. Ever since Sampunk has
<v Speaker 1>come back, he hasn't missed the week, or he's missed
<v Speaker 1>one here and there. But you know what I'm saying,
<v Speaker 1>So maybe a few months off for Sampunk to just rejuvenate,
<v Speaker 1>rest and then just come back swinging, I think will
<v Speaker 1>be good. Whether that happens or not, I'm not sure,
<v Speaker 1>but you know, Roman Rains is back, and I think
<v Speaker 1>when we're keen to see him, like obviously he doesn't
<v Speaker 1>show up as much as he used to, but if
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be full time for the summer, I
<v Speaker 1>think people would be really keen to see that and
<v Speaker 1>see him every week. You know that that's pretty awesome.
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the match was just phenomenal, like seriously phenomenal.
<v Speaker 1>Like again, I was a little frustrated at the end
<v Speaker 1>of it when I saw it live that there was
<v Speaker 1>no surprises and it just ended like that. But at
<v Speaker 1>the same time I have to say that, you know,
<v Speaker 1>it was a really good main event match, and it
<v Speaker 1>ended probably the way it should have.
<v Speaker 2>I just would have liked to see more surprises.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a Night one, But we've got the road all
<v Speaker 1>the sort of Rule after WrestleMania to look forward to. Again.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to try to put my expectations too
<v Speaker 1>high because I think I think I've been one that
<v Speaker 1>expects Wrestlemanda to be like WrestleMania forty and I can't
<v Speaker 1>expect that every year.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to try to keep.
<v Speaker 1>My expectations low and hope that, you know, we see
<v Speaker 1>some pretty cool things on the Rule after WrestleMania, because
<v Speaker 1>I think that is just as big as you know,
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania itself, if I'm honest, like you can make a
<v Speaker 1>real big case of that. And I'm not looking at Twitter,
<v Speaker 1>I'm not looking at anything for potential spoilers. I'm just
<v Speaker 1>gonna wake up tomorrow and you know, watch it and
<v Speaker 1>be super excited for it and.
<v Speaker 2>See the aftermath of everything.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, overall, I'll give the WrestleMania a six
<v Speaker 1>out of ten. Nine two was significantly better. I would
<v Speaker 1>give it like an eight or seven or eight or
<v Speaker 1>nine out of ten to be honest and honestly, like
<v Speaker 1>I'm very strict. I was really pissed off of Night
<v Speaker 1>whin I'd give it like a three, like it was
<v Speaker 1>rubbish to me.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't happy.
<v Speaker 1>The fact is just the ads and the length of matches,
<v Speaker 1>Like next year, they need to fix that because what
<v Speaker 1>makes me more frustrated is there was a lot of
<v Speaker 1>people that missed out. I know there's already a lot
<v Speaker 1>of people in there, but you had people like, you know,
<v Speaker 1>Carmela Hayes missing how, you had er Sky missing out,
<v Speaker 1>you had Aska missing how, you had Tiffany Stratton missing out,
<v Speaker 1>you had Damien Price missing out.
<v Speaker 2>For whatever that's worth to anyone, there was a lot of.
<v Speaker 1>Opportunities like the US title could have been I was defended,
<v Speaker 1>the women's US title could have been defended, like, there
<v Speaker 1>was opportunities for more matches, like you could have even
<v Speaker 1>had more feuds. So the fact that they took that
<v Speaker 1>out for ads, obviously to make money, is annoying. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they recovered for Night too, and I think they'll be
<v Speaker 1>relieved that they did so. Again, that's pretty much your
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania review. Obviously, you guys have had a lot of
<v Speaker 1>content when it comes to Wrestlemana this week, so hopefully
<v Speaker 1>you enjoyed my sort of quick opinion and rapid fire
<v Speaker 1>opinion on everything and also enjoyed the first five minutes
<v Speaker 1>which was the main event review.
<v Speaker 2>Again.
<v Speaker 1>I'll be back next week back to normal with another
<v Speaker 1>main event review as we look forward to Backlash which
<v Speaker 1>is going to be happening sooner rather than later.
<v Speaker 2>So you know, continuing to bring out the content every
<v Speaker 2>week for you.
<v Speaker 1>Guys, and I really do hope you guys are enjoying it.
<v Speaker 1>So thank you very much and I'll catch you guys
<v Speaker 1>next week.
<v Speaker 2>Cheers.
