Mailbag Episode #174: Listener Reaction to Rock/Roman Tag Team Match, Gunther Turning Face, Much More

This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to the WWE podcast, the
show, the one that everybody wants me. Godote sixteen says, I just
used your ass is mind you can acknowledge me. Hey, guys, welcome
to the WWE podcast. It is yes Friday, March eight, twenty twenty
four. Apologize for mail bank being a couple of days late. I just
can't stay seem to stay healthy as this time. I think it was something
I ate, and my stomach has been just in the turmoil over the last
few days. It just feels like something wants to get out, is the
best way I can describe it. I don't think it's an actual illness.
It's something I just eight and I would have never been able to make it
on the podcast over the last couple of days. But let's see how far
we can get in the mail bag. This is going to be a one
part mail bag, not gonna do two parts. So whatever we get to,
we get to. If you're a patron, you will absolutely get a
spot on the show. If you are a non patron, it's a roll
the dice scenario. I mean, it just is I appreciate all the non
patrons who are submitting questions and everything else, and we will do the best
we can get to those. But as we do, let's prioritize the patrons
here and start with Alex the French guy, And he says, now,
that's what I call must watch TV. Bloodline main eventing both Knights doesn't bother
me. When the sun is too bright, it overshadows the rest. And
there are a few people on the roster that have more than fifty percent of
the talent that The Rock has. Some talents are just jealous, be better.
I'm sorry. No one is more talented on the mic than the Rock
and WWE at the moment the only two people who could face to face with
him or MJF Christian Cage Punk and Sina. I like Seth and Cody,
but there are two random indie wrestlers when you compare them to Rains and Rock.
I love what the Rock is doing at the moment. He's revamping the
blood Line story and the one of Cody. We need to acknowledge the Rock
committing that much to this run. Well, yeah, he the Rock.
I will agree with that point that The Rock has committed pretty darn pretty darn
deep into this story, and he almost has to as a heel because as
the typical Dwayne plays, the classic babyface Rock returns have come and gone over
the years. That's an easy character for him to slide into, right Like,
all he has to do is just be this nice kind of charismatic guy
that he naturally is not a lot of thinking that needs to go into it.
A couple of jokes here and there and people's elbow and he's gone.
But with this heel character there requires much more thought, much more perspective on
what this is supposed to mean for the overlines, overarching stories. So I
would agree he almost has to, though if he didn't commit to this heel
role it would be horrific. The heal role requires him to commit more because
it's something he hasn't done in fifteen years, well really since two thousand and
three, so excuse me, twenty one years. The Rock hasn't been heel
rock in like two decades, So yeah, i'd agree with that. Now
is it must watch TV right now? It is as far as the other
people on the roster having fifty percent of the talent that The Rock has,
I'm gonna pause on that one, because the Rock is good on the mic.
He is. But here's the thing, John Seen had destroyed him in
the last program they had for Mstlemania twenty seven to twenty eight destroyed him.
And you mentioned that, you know, the only people that could come face
space, so then one of them is Sena. But I wo giving Cody
Roads is good on the mic. Cody Roads is good. I don't like
his baby face character any more than you do, but that doesn't mean I
can't acknowledge the fact that he is a good promo and is quick witted and
is you know, pretty decent on the mic. That said, we haven't
seen Rock and Cody go face to face yet on the mic, so that
remains to be seen how that goes. And as far as go the en
ring goes, I mean, we haven't seen the Rock wrestle and how long
I mean having an actual match in how long twelve years? So it's been
some time since the Rocks had an actual match. So for us to say,
hey, yeah, the roster isn't even fifty percent as talented as the
Rock is, well, I'm gonna say the jury's still out on that one.
I mean that that's a heck of a statement given the talent that is
in the roster right now, and the roster has never been more deep.
So I'm gonna take a pause on that, But you're right, Yeah,
I mean MJF could go toe to toe at the rock. In fact,
I think MJF still to this day, is the best person, the best
promo I've ever seen in my life, the best promo to date. I
think he could school the best of them. I think him and John Cena
on a promo would be I mean, even if that was the only thing
they had on a pl E, I would purchase the pl separately just to
see it. I mean, MJF and John Cena on the mic against one
another would be something to see. But yeah, we speaking of John Cena.
Just one one side note guys, if you haven't seen his new movie,
Ricky Stinicky, here's my quick review on it. It's exactly what you
think it is. I'll leave it there now whatever that means to you.
But if you look at the movie, you look at the previews for Ricky
Stinicky, it is exactly what you think. And that's not a good or
bad thing. Depending well, it is a gooder band thing. Depending on
how you view it, I will say that it was a there were some
funny moments. There were periods of just kind of blase. There were times
when they thought they were funnier than they were, but then there were times
that were legitimately funny and I laughed out loud. It's an R rated comedy,
so you're gonna see John Cena say any and everything under the sun.
So mister PG, mister politician. The way he speaks now very different in
the movie. So if you want to see John Cena unhinged, go watch
Ricky Stinicky. You know, it's not something you'll be talking to your friends
about, like, oh my god, there was the funniest comedy I've ever
seen. But I think it'll be one that you come out of it going,
yeah, that's It's kind of what I thought it would be. But
I think it was Okay, all right, thank you, Alex. Let's
get to our next patron. This is Freeman and it says, let's see
this time. I wanted to talk about another one of my interests and how
to overthink wrestling with it. So film analysts interests me for both storytelling and
cinematography, and I think this can be used to explain why people are complaining
about things being predictable. People love a good twist, but change for change
sake is meaningless. For example, if a cure to Zawa came out of
nowhere to pin Roman and win the belt at WrestleMania, no one would expect
it to be this good or satisfying, and the reason is simple, there
is no setup for this payoff. A shocking twister turn in the story is
the only is only good if there's a setup for the twist beforehand, something
that someone who has been paying attention could notice and predict. So the complaints
of the ending being predictable has nothing to do with the results that they are
choosing, as without a doubt, the right people are winning matches, but
the complaints are more due to the build towards those matches, failing to give
any of their options as outcomes. WW can improve a lot by setting up
people to win who don't win. The build giving away the winner every time
is where they're going wrong. No one has back to back rumbles and years
Yeah, I mean Freeman's Uh, that's where it totally tipped the scale for
me. When they continually brought up. Oh my god, the last time
anyone went back to back rumble winds was Stone Cold Steve Austin. They brought
it up for months. I mean, it probably was at least two months
before Cody actually won the Rumble they were bringing that up. And it's definitely
a bit of a you know, a kind of a tea leaf if you
will, that you can read and absolutely see where they're going to set up
what that rumble wind will mean for Cody. And I said that right off
the bat. So yeah, all right, let's see here, got a
long email, Freeman. All right, I could talk for hours on end.
I just want to say Gunther and Dom the match I didn't know I
wanted so badly until it happened, and it was great as I expected it
to be. I just wish John could catch a break and not be a
punching bag. He has a long career ahead of him. I'm sure he'll
get out there. But this means setting up new challenges for the Icy title.
Being one on one and out of the six Men Gauntlet, I feel
like it has to be Sammy or Chad Gable and they will be taking the
title as there's been no setup for anybody else. WWE has put a focus
on both men, making it hard to put harder to work out who will
win. Why can't they do this to find out the number one contender for
the but not for the ples. And if PJ. McDonald wins, I'll
probably die of shock. But it's clear that this is going to be Gable
that wins and goes on to take the belt. He hasn't been seen in
doing anything with the Alphai Academy in sometime, likely trying to distance him from
the comedy gimmick as a setup for doing something serious with the belt. That's
yes, that's what they're doing, and I have no problem with Gable doing
that. I think he is a formidable opponent. We know exactly what kind
of match quality we're gonna get. I have no issue whatsoever with Gable taking
the belt, I think, and more importantly, really more than Gable winning,
which is a significant win for him, is we're ready for Gunther to
move on and move up. That to me is the bigger, the bigger
story. So all right, let's see, let's see here. I'm gonna
come back to your email, Freeman, just so I can make sure everyone
gets a chance here just because I only I have a small amount of time,
and I want to make sure that everyone gets a opportunity to have their
voice, especially for those that are patrons. So I'll come back. Let's
go to Let's see, let's go to Justin. Justin says, I'd like
to start off by saying, I love when you and Anthony get together because
I share the exact same feelings about Becky and cry Baby Cody as you guys.
I honestly feel that if Naya didn't break Becky's nose, she would not
have become as big as she did. I appreciate Cody's work, but his
character is just so over the top annoying allbe at WrestleMania Nite too. And
if he doesn't win, I think Philly might take seth rollins entest music seriously
and burn it down. Yeah, that's that's a good point. You know,
I really do wonder if if you know, if Cody doesn't win,
what happens, you know, like, what happens? What do the fans
do? We're all assuming, just as we did last year, that Cody
Roads is a four gone conclusion, even more so this year with good reason.
It is a great spot to take the belt off of Roman. It's
a nice mile marker to say, Okay, you know he started in August
of twenty twenty, that was a summer Slam, and it ended in Philadelphia
at WrestleMania forty. It is a there's no bigger platform to make the change.
But wouldn't that be even more of a shock and really more of something
to talk about that if Cody loses. I'm still not I'm not saying it's
gonna happen, but it at least has to be discussed. God, I'd
love to see what the fans do. I would I would love it.
Here's what I think would happen. Let's play that little that card out.
I think that if Cody loses, what they're gonna do is have Cody come
out on Monday Night Raw, hold the place, hostage, not play mister
nice guy, tear crap up, demand a rematch, hold the company,
hostage somehow, and go berserk. The crowd would love it, I think,
But then the argument would be, well, why wouldn't they have If
he's gonna win the belt next on the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania, why
wouldn't they have done it? At WrestleMania forty you know, so it's just
something to entertain myself with. Okay, a couple more small things here,
anybody in the New Jersey area. The legendary Mick Foley will be a special
guest general manager right up and an upcoming ISPW Wrestling show and Hackettstown, New
Jersey on March fifteenth. He's also doing meet and greets throughout the night.
Shout out to Tommy Fiarro for always bring in older talent w talent to the
indie scene. He's also got Gangrel and Typhoon at upcoming events. And finally,
side note, Carlito never got eliminated from the rumble. He rolled under
the ropes, says Cross was kicking him, lastly comes out in his face
to face with Cross, then goes to attack him and Cross moves out of
the way. Bobby hits Carlito, who's now standing on the outside of the
ropes and just gets eliminated. Yeah, you're right. I mean, I
haven't heard anyone talk about that, but I guess if you're gonna go down
that road, who was the one that oh, who was the one that
is still technically in the royal Rumble? I think it was Curtis Axel who
claimed for months that he was still in the Royal Rumble. I mean,
there have been some people in the past, there might be others, but
there's another one for you. Curtis Axel is still in the what twenty twelve
Royal rumble whatever he was, and he never got eliminated from. So yeah,
there are claims you could make, but of course is not going to
go down that road, you know. All right, let's get to our
next one here, and let's go to Peter. Peter p and he he
asks an late for the mailbag. But an interesting thought, if it hasn't
been discussed yet, it seems the Judgment Day and Imperium are crossing paths.
What if Imperium continue to get on top of JD, which rattles Damian Priest
into cashing in U Gunther, good point, Peter. You know I have
no issue with a money in the bank winner cashing in on a quote unquote
lesser title. The reason is it doesn't it elevate that championship a little bit
higher? If I think if a title needs a little help, cashing in
on a lesser quote unquote title would be a way to do it. I
mean, we saw Austin theory do it, but only because he admitted,
oh well, cashing in a row Marines isn't gonna work right at the time,
there's only one champion top belt, so it can be done. I
have no issue with that either, really, I really don't. They would
just have to come up with some reason why he didn't choose those top two
belts. It would have to be convincing though, because the icy belt doesn't
need any help, right, so my argument of oil would help elevate a
belt. Gun has raised it to an incredible level, so that wouldn't be
the reason. We'd have to have a personal reason that Gunther and Damian Priest
had, Like where Gunther, or rather Damian Priest says, you know,
what's screw it. I could go for the top two belts, but I
hate this guy so much I'm going to cash in on him and take his
belt from him. You know that's a good point. Good point. Do
I think it'll happen? Probably not, But let's see where we should keep
an eye on Priest and Gunther see what develops there. Specifically, Thanks Peter,
all right, let's go to let's see Nova Nova mes Mexus. All
right, let's go, he says. I've been listening now for two years.
I've been thinking about messaging the mailbag, and with WrestleMania right around the
corner, I've decided what better time to do it than now. I was
thinking, what if the greatest tag team match in history? What is the
great I'm sorry? What if the greatest tag team match in the history of
professional wrestling was done on the go home show? With that said, I
would book the match so that wrestling I'm sorry, so that the bloodline interferes
with Steve Austin coming in in cleaning house, setting up with a Cody victory
and sets and set and setting up for Rock Austin for WrestleMania. I understand
that it's unlikely to happen, but how cool would it be to get Rock
versus Austin at WrestleMania forty fifty g's thank you for your time, the great
content, have a great morning, and all the ww podcasts world, well,
thank you Nova. I'm not really good at reading this morning, my
brain's in a fog, but I really I don't know if they are even
considering Rock Austin for WrestleMania now. On paper, it's a nostalgic on paper,
it's oh my MFG. Right, it is beyond newsworthy. But I
really doubt that Rock and especially Austin want to touch their trilogy. They're both
aged, especially you know, Austin, who hasn't been in the ring in
a couple of years. Rock hasn't been in the ring and wrestling in twelve
years. Their you know, Father Time wins all rob Father Time is the
only undefeated entity in this world. So I don't think that they want to
touch their trilogy with a fourth match. Now that said, I am of
a I very strongly believe Austin could stun the Rock at WrestleMania, which will
still create an insane buzz. I mean among fans, how nostalgic is it
that we really thought that forever we'll we've seen the last stunner from stone cold
Steve Austin on the Rock, And oh my god, no we haven't,
because guys, the last stunner delivered to the Rock was WrestleMania nineteen in Seattle,
Washington, and that was what twenty one years ago, So the last
stunner was two decades ago, and we're gonna get it one more. I
mean, well, we never thought we would see that. But again,
this is just my thinking a lot of other people around this bandwagon, and
there was some evidence on SMA to believe it, with The Rock saying there's
not a single man back there that can stop the Rock. Does that not
warrant and beg for a glass crashing entrance? Just a food food for thought.
I'd really give it a fifty to fifty on Austin being at WrestleMania to
stun the Rock. That'd be awesome, absolutely awesome. But I know,
do I want to match between them? I mean, I'm fighting with myself
because my younger self is saying, oh my god, yes, But I
also want to be careful what I wish for because it's almost impossible for those
two to live up to their past rivalry. It's it's it's impossible physically.
I don't care how much they work out. They've been out of the business
there, they've aged twenty years. It's just not possible. But would I
watch it, Oh, hell yeah, I would, and everybody else that's
listening. It would be so dumb you'd watch it. It'd be so stupid,
it'd be the match would be terrible. Guess what, You'd watch it,
and that's all that matters to the company is you would watch it and
pay to watch it, so you can criticize beforehand and after after the fact,
but you'd watch it, and that's the only thing they care about.
All right, let's see, let's go to Let's go to a patron.
Charlie. Charlie says, Hey everyone, it's Charlie from Milwaukee. I just
got done listening to Raw the Raw Review, and you brought up there hasn't
been a manager since Bobby Heenan that is more deserving to go in the Hall
of Fame than Paul Hayman. I can't speak for everyone, but what about
the first lady, Miss Elizabeth. She's long overdue to be a Hall of
Famer. Also, since when did it become a big deal for fans to
boo at wrestlers at live events? According to Rhea Ripley, we're no longer
encouraged to do that. If they want us to boot, not boose,
certain wrestlers, then why not give them more TV time? That way we
can see them every week and stuff like this won't happen. Can't believe the
rocks last scheduled appearances a week before SmackDown comes to Milwaukee. Can't wait to
go to the SmackDown review? Do the SmackDown review with you in two weeks?
Hashtag Cody craybabies, Cody sucks. Yeah, okay, yeah, thank
you for reminding me about the review. You'll have to remind me again.
I'm in a whirlwind of sickness all the time for some reason. And I'll
tell you I have been more sick in the last six weeks than I have
been in the last six years of my life. And that's not even an
exaggeration. So but no one cares, right, No one cares. Everyone
cares about their own health. So uh, let's talk about this point by
point here. Number one, Miss Elizabeth. Is she deserving? I think
so. I mean her connection with Randy Savage. She's infamous with Randy Savage.
She's an infamous figure in the WWE lore. There has to be a
reason. Why do I know the reason why she hasn't been inducted. I
don't now if she's somebody's gonna correct me out there. I feel like she
already has been inducted. But I'm gonna I'm gonna say no, let's let's
say no, because I was gonna I was gonna google it, but somebody
out there will correct me. If she's not inducted. I don't know the
reason why. I really don't. She must have some kind of really bad
pr surrounding her, or they just have forgotten, or or they want to
push her down the line for you know, maybe the twenty twenty five Hall
of Fame or beyond. I don't know, but you're right, Miss Elizabeth
should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Yes, I agree. Now,
Yeah. I went into this at length with the rear Ripley criticism of
fans booing Maxine Dupree, and I will say to this one thing that I
heard in that video, that the infamous video that somehow went viral. It's
almost impossible that that video went viral, given that fans booing at a wrestling
event like that is that's as common as seeing clouds in the sky. But
the one thing I did here, and I don't know if anyone else heard
it in the video, was a fan screaming Maxine sucks blank fill in the
blank, right, So there was one comment like that, but the rest
was just booing. I mean, I'm not a big advocate of well,
I bought a ticket, I can say and do anything. No you can't.
Okay, no you can't. If you want proof, security will provide
that proof for you. Also, I don't mind anyone booing or cheering and
keeping language respectful during live events, especially giving you have families, Like,
just use your moral compass, right if you think you're there with a ticket
that supersedes anyone else's experience, meaning since you have a ticket that just by
its own merit means that you can affect negatively someone else's experience being there who
also has an equal ticket, then the answer is no, and then you
should be I mean, you should be kicked out now booing and cheering.
I have no issue with booing, cheering, codey you suck right like or
whatever the usual chance, the usual you know, criticisms. But to go
into like vulgar territory with families around you now and just use your head,
you know, like that stuff I disagree with, However, putting the vulgarity
aside, Rhea Ripley was more focused on the fact that, oh my god,
fans are booing Maxine and she's just poor Maxine is trying. She's learning
her craft. If Maxine and or Rihea Ripley are offended by fans booing when
they are instructed to cheer and that makes their tummy hurt, they are in
the wrong business. We are not going to sit here and be told how
to react. That is not what we're in. That's not how we're told
and what we should be told to do. We are paying customers telling you
how we feel about your product, just like any other business. It would
be like somebody walking into a McDonald's, right, and that person is given
a big mac and they're told that they're supposed to like it. Otherwise why
would McDonald serve it? Right? And they eat it and they start screaming
at the cashier or the cooks who made it and say this sucks, right,
or saying this is terrible, I hate it. Okay, well as
long as it's you know, you're saying it in a way that's maybe not
screaming. It's a wrestling event versus McDonald's. But how about they just say
to the cook you know, this is really bad, I don't like it.
I want my money back, yeah, or just saying this stinks,
I don't like the taste of it, and McDonald's just saying, well,
you can't have that opinion. You need to like it because we tell you
to like it. That's not how life works, Rhea. Now, Ria
Ripley has lately in her off camera personality really started to turn me off.
I have to say she cannot win this debate. I would publicly invite Ria
Ripley on this show to have this debate about her coming to the defense of
Maxine Dupree out of house show fans who paid their money to be there and
act how they want to act in terms of booing and cheering they are.
They can boot and cheer who they want. We've been told this for years
and it should be that way. And Ria Ripley comes along and says,
be better. Okay, how about we start booing you into oblivion. Now
you're a heel character, so you're kind of in between, and I don't
know if any reaction is really going to set you off. What about John
Cena being booed at WrestleMania twenty one against Triple H or is that WrestleMania twenty
two? It might have been Wrestlming in twenty two. How about that?
How about the Rock being booed against Hulkogen at WrestleMania eighteen. How about Roman
Reigns being booed for seven years? How about Bailey being boed as a Babyface
character before she publicly slaughtered her Bailey buddies. I mean, the list can
go on. Are all of a sudden all those don't matter? But when
it comes to poor Maxine, we're supposed to care. How about the narrative
that we're told As long as they're making a reaction, as long as they're
being loud, that's all that matters. Now, that's a whole bunch of
nonsense. It's a bunch of bs. It's a cop out because you're trying
to you're trying to direct them to a certain reaction. But if they don't
have that reaction at least, well, at least they're having a reaction.
How many times do we hear that as long as they're making noise? Right?
So, Rya Ripley was very mistaken by that tweet, Okay, by
that post on x SO. I mean, I really would publicly invite her
on this show because there's just no defense for it. None. You can
feel bad because you're in the business and you know how she's struggling and she's
trying, and she is. But that's the lumps you take. That's the
risks. Those are the that's the nature of the beast in which you voluntarily
got into this profession for and took those risks voluntarily and took those lumps voluntarily
knowing fans are not going to react the way you want, Knowing fans are
probably going to be nasty to you when you don't want them to be and
you're just trying. Yeah, that's the business. She's also getting paid to
be here. Okay, Maxine isn't doing this out of slave labor. So
crime a river Rhea, good God. Anyway, Yeah, the rock last
scheduled appearance. It's gonna be sad. So all right, Charlie, let's
go to Dave. Dave says, hey, Matt, hope you're doing well.
Sorryf're not setting in last week. My girlfriend and I were actually celebrating
our three year anniversary and got a little too busy. Anyway, I've been
wondering something with the USSO storyline we're getting for WrestleMania. Do you think there's
any chance we get a Jimmy Face turn or the Ussos making amends after a
WrestleMania match. I'm not sure how WW plans on setting that match up,
as I can't or couldn't really see them staying enemies after. Also, I
love Seth Rollins ever since I was a little kid and I watched him debut
with the Shield. He was my favorite. But man, that promo on
Monday and the diarya Dwayne joke were horrible. It truly felt like a Vince
joke and it genuinely made me cringe. I love Seth, but I really
want to see Drew win at WrestleMania, and I see his current care with
the World Heavyweight Championship. Oh anyway, I hope you and everybody are having
in a good week. Thanks for reading well. Thanks David Diarrhea, Drane
Draine Diarrhea. Dwyane was something that he probably heard or came up with or
somebody creative did, and he goes, yah, I like that, And
he set it out loud a few times, and I like that, and
I understand the temptation to say it in private before you get to a crowd.
It sounds like it would work, and he took a calculated risk and
it didn't work. Now, I think if he continues to try to push
it this week, it'll be a mistake. He should probably forget he ever
said it. It wasn't suffering, suck attash bad, but it was not
funny. You know. I in the moment, I said, you know,
let's see if it sticks. And it has not stuck. As as
time goes forward, people dislike it more. But I look, everything they
say isn't gonna work. Everything they say isn't going to turn into a T
shirt, everything they say isn't going to be a you know, a resounding
success marketing wise. It's just not so. I mean, it is what
it is. It didn't work. That's all. We move on. But
it did feel like Seth called up Vince right in his free time and he's
like, hey, Vince, look I need something funny. I need something
that starts with the D that we can call Dwayne because it has to be
a D. So it's you know, something Dwayne. And Vince is like,
well, hell, how about diarrhea? It does very much sound like
Vince, does it. It does, but I mean I don't think it
is, but it does sound very much like Vince is probably the only one
laughing at that one. Now, the idea about the USOS after WrestleMania,
Yeah, like clearly they're heading to a match there. I don't want to
see any more bloodline garbage at least civil war wise, between Jimmy and Solo
and Roman and Jimmy and Solo and Roman and Jay. The Rock is a
different animal because he has yet to turn on the blood line. Of the
blood line yet to turn on him. So that's a whole nother chapter we
haven't even seen yet that is coming. And if anyone doesn't think it's coming,
you are just flying to yourself. So that's a whole different thing.
But that said, there has to be some kind of after match. This
is it? Right? Like, this has gotta be it. You know,
maybe they shake hands afterwards, But then what does that mean for Jimmy.
If Jimmy and Jay have like a handshake or hugging moment after the match,
then what I mean Jimmy has to leave the blood line because he's made
amends with Jay, and then that gets weird and we'll see. But I
would agree one way the other this is a one and done for Jimmy Jay.
I would hope this is a This is kind of a carryover from the
Bloodline storyline of the last like three years. It's just one of those you
know, open loops that they decided to finally close that no one was really
asking for. It'll be a fun match, but I really feel like Jay
got cheated out of a match with Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship here.
But that's my take. I feel like Jay deserved better and Jimmy, Like,
look, Jimmy is a very boring character. I've said that before,
I'll say it again. He wasn't he was intriguing. He was fun with
the USOS being you know, when they and their tag team together before the
Bloodline split, and he played his role nice with Sammy and all that.
But ever since he got back with the Bloodline, it has been horrific for
Jimmy. Horrific. He's a boring character that gets laid out every week and
he's not even fun to watch or look at it anymore. He's not intriguing.
No one really cares what Jimmy's doing. And it's not to say his
career is over, no no, no, no no, it's just saying
his character is just womp womp. Right now, in a big way,
so Jay, I think deserves much better. But all right, well,
also, happy anniversary to you and your girlfriend. Congratulations to you guys,
and I hope you enjoy WrestleMania. If I don't talk to you, thanks
David. All right, let's talk to DJ Cuzmo another patron, and DJ
says this. DJ Cuzmo back at it again on the Mailbag show. It's
official, here we go again. Dakota Kai has turned on Bailey. I
kind of knew this was going to happen, because how is it that all
of a sudden Dakota wants to help Bailey take on the remaining members of Damage
Control. Interesting that the turn took place sooner than later and later being at
WrestleMania. However, now that this has happened, we saw a quick tease
of Jade getting involved. Do you think Jade, at some point, Jade
Bianca and maybe returning Shatzi aligned with Bailey to take down Damage Control before or
after WrestleMania. You know that's not such a bad idea. I think Jade
could get involved. The question is, does wwe feel that she's ready for
a one on one at WrestleMania. The answer is I don't know. We
saw her in the Rumble briefly, big reaction, fun to watch. I
don't know if that means they're ready for a one on one though, on
a huge stage. I could see Jade in a tag team match to spread
the workload and not have the focus totally on her, give her some breathing
room, you know, and not just throw right into Oh my god,
it's the you know, it's WrestleMania forty right. I think that they'd have
to have uber confidence in her to do that, and she seems very confident
in herself, obviously with her her photos. She always posts, and yes,
her physique is incredible, but I mean that's that's just a that's superficial.
Now, let's see what you can do in the ring, so we'll
see now. Drew McIntyre being the voice of reason makes sense because Seth Rollins
is getting involved with the blood line way too much while he should be focusing
on the title against title match against Drew at Mania. Just a quick side
note, this World tipe WA Championship just seems like an afterthought for the past
couple weeks, and I get that Seth wasn't medically cleared until he mentioned he
was on he was on this past Monday's Raw, But it seems like this
championship to me isn't as important as it should. Regardless of who wins that
title at WrestleMania, whether it's Seth, Drew, or Priest, would it
even matter since the main championship is still held by Roman and the ongoing story
of Rock and bloodline. Oh and by the way, the wise Man Paul
Hayman is getting inducted to the Hall of Fame. Interesting to see who will
be the one to present it to him. Anyway, before I go on
a rant, let me close my saying DJ Guzmo's signing off. If I
see y'all on Discord Friday night on SmackDown and have a great weekend. Peace
well, DJ, thank you as always every week, and hey, this
is this World Heavyweight Championship does not feel as important as it should. And
WWE is even kind of bringing that to the forefront. And Drew's whole frustration
with Seth is kind of that exact thing that Drew is being ignored. And
we saw that unraw, we saw it actually play out on camera, so
they're not blind to this. Drew is actually bringing it out there and saying,
hey, you're the world heavyweight champion. You should be focused on raw
and that belt, and yet you're focused on the Bloodline. If you've turned
your back on me, you're gonna lose that belt. That's exactly what he
said on Monday. So this frustration is not being lost on the company.
In fact, they're using it as Drew's motivation and a possible vulnerability for Seth.
So thanks DJ. Let's get to another patron. This is Darren.
Darren says, Hey, w podcast family, who do you think will take
the pin in the tag team match at WrestleMania. I have a weird feeling
it might be Seth, but I would hate that. I think it should
be Cody getting pinned by Roman, not just because I dislike Cody, but
because it would tell a better story in their match the next night. Roman
has Cody's number, or if they want a team, want the team of
Cody and Seth to win, I would do it by Cody pinning the Rock
so he could be pinned and the Rock and Roman he pins the Rock and
Roman back to back knights. What are your thoughts, Darren? Thanks Darren,
I think you exactly have it right on the first instance here. I
think what's gonna happen is early prediction that we have Roman pinning Cody, And
maybe that's because the Bloodline interferes in this match, as they have been in
every other match, which then makes a higher mountain for Cody to climb and
tells a better story and he has more to overcome. And Roman has already
pinned Cody, right, so there's definitely more or of a story to tell
if they have Cody lose. I think they'll have him lose. I really
do, so that to me is your first prediction is probably the right one.
That's my take. Thanks Darin. All right, let's uh, let's
talk to well, let's let the audio do the talking here. Joe,
it's me, It's me. It's Rocky t Ah Rocky. What do you
got for us? He says after listening to the current state of w W
the last couple weeks. I have some thoughts first about Damian Priest and his
money in the bank. He does need to cash in soon, like you
and Anthony pointed out, Judgment Day should lose the tag titles Night one of
WrestleMania. Having Priest cash in on the raw after Mania and Cody. Assuming
he beats Roman, Cody wins it back at the backlash pl e. This
would make Damien a transitional champion, but it would add the Judgment Day legacy,
add to the legacy, and also make Cody a two time champ.
This is how it booked the money in the bank scenario. That's a possibility,
Rocky, But the problem is this a win like Cody's over Roman,
that we're all assuming it's going to happen. Let's just assume it. That's
a victory that needs to stick. You can't play around with it. It's
not a victory that you can snatch out of the hands of Cody. It's
not when to play around with the emotions of fans anymore. You've done that
for years now. It's time to just let him be champion now. If
Damian wants to cash in on Gunther, as I mentioned earlier in the show,
I think that's a good option, but also on Seth or Drew is
a good option. But what if he can cash in and lose. He
doesn't have to win. I think Damien has a good chance of winning,
but there's not a The fans aren't needing Damien to win, and really the
landscape of the company right now doesn't warrant a win by Damian Priest because the
only way I would say that Damien and wins the World Championship is is this
scenario. In this scenario only is if Seth retains at WrestleMania and then Damian
Priest comes out to cash in, cash is in on Seth and wins the
World Heavyweight Championship. That's it. You don't want it to happen to Drew
Drew as a heel champion. It's much more interesting than than having Damien as
a heel champion. And you can't cash in on Cody because if you cash
in on Cody again, you're taking away from what that WrestleMania forty outcome is.
Again, the outcomes of WrestleMania's just generally should and usually do stick through
SummerSlam. It's not a one hundred percent there's exceptions to every rule, of
course, but WrestleMania victories are ones that usually mean more, ones that stick
longer, and they should. So I wouldn't screw around with Cody's victory here.
I wouldn't have Damien cash in on Cody. I wouldn't can cash in
on Drew. I would only haven't cast off seth wins. That's it.
Other than that, he can cash in in any other scenario. But I
think he's gonna lose. It's just not set up for Damian Priest to win
right now, unless he's going for the Intercontinental Championship, which I would be
okay with. All Right, So, I know a lot of listeners and
fans felt that Bianca bell Air should have won the Chamber and Anthony Marco felt
that with Becky being the challenger, this felt like quote, been there,
done that type of match. I disagree to me. This victory over Becky
will completely solidify Rhea as the absolute best in the business. This will be
her second victory over the one of the Force horsewomen at back to back WrestleMania's.
This reminds me of when John Cena had back to back victories over Triple
H and HBK. John Cena was champion before he had those victories, but
in my opinion, those two victories not only made me hate him for the
rest of his career, but I knew he was the face of the company,
the new face of the company. So yeah, this is the thing
there Rocky Tea. I think Becky Lynch right now is in a spot where
she does don't feel as big as she once did, which is why it
doesn't feel like it means anything if Ria beats Becky at WrestleMania. On paper,
I see what you're saying, but when you look at it right now
and you just feel it, the feeling for Becky of like oh Man can't
wait to see her as champion, that there's no sense of urgency for her
character. It's getting a decent reaction still because it's Becky Lynch, but there's
no organic push for her to win. Fans aren't dying for her to win.
It's about Rio right now and the run she's on it should be.
I mean, there's just no scenario in which Ria Ripley loses that belt that
WrestleMania, by the way, there's just none and no no reason, no
booking you can convince me of Rihea should retain at WrestleMania. I don't care
who her opponent is, but I don't really believe that her beating Becky Lynch
at WrestleMania is going to do too much more for her. I think it'll
either keep things as is because most people expect Ria to win anyway, and
that's a big problem, right I think it would create much more. I
think of a discussion of a talking point of a debate if it was Beyonca
bell Air versus Ria Ripley. Because they haven't faced each other one on one
on the main roster. They have been teasing it for a while, they
never have actually cross paths yet, and there is much more of a push
for Bianca right now than there is for Becky Lynch, and Becky Lynch isn't
as much of a threat or as Bianca bell Air is, So I think
they missed the mark here too, I really do. That's not to say
Ria and Becky's going to be a bad match. I'm sure it'll be very
good. Both women can absolutely bring it. I have no concerns about the
quality. It's about when when Ria wins, what does that victory really do
for her? The answer is not a lot if you're Rihea, but a
lot more if Ria beats Bianca. So again, this isn't a bad WrestleMania
match. It's just not one that I feel as excited as I should be
for. And that's largely because Becky's character has been just spinning its wheels for
a year or more, just kind of playing the man gimmick, doing her
queerd little uh, you know, wearing her strange outfits and trying to be
funny on the mic that never really works. But she's good on the mic
when she wants to be. You know, she's got her weird ticks about
her. But she's a star and she has accomplished more than most women will
accomplish in their careers. But currently, as of this present moment, how
most fans feel about her character is lukewarm. Lukewarm. It's about mommy,
right now, that's it, so all right now, before we get to
while we're on the Riar Ripley and the Bianca Bellair, this topic here.
This is not from an email. This is from my own brain, so
bear with me. There was a post put out by WWE Games, which
is two K two K Games. They put out a post because today is
the release day of two K twenty four, and they put out a post
with on Instagram with Cody Rhea and Bianca and the post let me go to
it, which I think has been since taken down. By the way,
the post said something about the trio. Let me see if I can pull
it up here it said, uh, most iconic WWB two K twenty four
trio. And there were some disparaging remarks made against Bianca belair and if you
want to know what those were. And this is what I'm quoting here.
This is from one. This is This is, by the way, the
only one I've seen that is disparaging. If there are more, I invite
I'm really curious when people said it beyond this. Now, this is a
quote Beyonca said. This person that quote commented said, quote Beyonca, but
Bianca doesn't belong, but guess gotta have a black. And then the second
one, different person said, quote the two on the left, yes,
which are Bianca and Cody Bianca absolutely not. Okay. Now, these are
the only two comments I've seen on this post, the only two. If
there are more, I am very curious to see them because everyone's making this
stink about these racist comments. And I just want to say this. The
first comment, Bianca doesn't belong, but guess gotta have a black Okay.
Yeah, that's that's bad. That that does seem racist from some clown that
I mean, bringing up her color. That they're saying, he's implying that
they're putting her there just because she's black. That's the insinuation. Yeah,
racist, bad comment, bad guy, bad person. Absolutely whoever this was,
I'm not gonna give out is information which you can find anywhere. Really.
But the second comment that says the two on the left, yes,
Bianca absolutely not, Well, how do we know that that's racially motivated?
Why? I mean, there are other reasons people cannot like Bianca bell Air
other than the fact she has more melanin in her skin, right, Like,
there are other reasons. What if that person just doesn't like her character,
what if they just don't relate to her character. This comment has nothing
to do with her race. But yet everybody's trying to make that comment about
her race, even though it never said anything about it, nothing, nothing
about her physical features at all. But people will jump into it immediately saying
it's so racist that comment. I don't agree is racist because unless you want
it to be objectively, it's not. It's because there are a million other
reasons why they wouldn't like Bianca, right. The first one agreed, bad,
bad, bad guy, totally agree. That's just crap. It's it's
gross, agreed. But outside of that, so I've seen one comment that's
some clown made out of Let's see how many people like this there were at
the time before it got taken down. One hundred and twenty seven thousand people
liked the post, which means probably hundreds of thousands more saw it out of
that one guy. And again, I'm actually asking people if there's more disgusting
comments. I'm curious to see what they are. But there's one troll that
makes one comment about Pianca, and now all of a sudden, it's oh,
you know, for for example, Big Ee coming to the rescue and
let me let me tell you what Big Ee said on Twitter or x so
he says, quote, the black women in this industry face a regular barrage
of races and misogyny from quote fans and have far for for far too long.
You cannot diminish their light, You cannot erase their contributions to this industry.
Well, Biggie, I mean, let me ask you this, who
exactly is trying to erase their contributions. Who's who's saying to erase their contributions.
Just take the other end of the pencil and completely just you know,
erase, no one's asking for that. And if there are other instances of
racism or misogyny from fans, well again, where's the evidence of this?
Is it? Or is it just more of kind of the culture where in
that everyone needs to be a victim because there are certain victim groups that are
above others, and if you belong to this victim group, you have more
power than this this other one. Right, it's all of a sudden everyone's
rushing to Bianca's defense as if the company has been and the fans have been
racist against her. Well, a pretty weird way of showing that the fans
are there's such an over arching problem this barrage, as Bigie said, of
racism. Pretty odd if that's the case that the fans not only pushed her
to be Women's Champion multiple times, pushed her to the main event of WrestleMania.
Okay, she was one of the first two women of two black women
to main event WrestleMania at Sasha Banks, Right, we don't remember that,
which is great, But also if it's such a racist system, how can
she just for a few of the accolades she has accomplished and had over the
years, She was the ESPN Female Wrestler of the Year in twenty twenty two.
She won an sb Award for Best ww Moment in twenty twenty one.
In The New York Post, she was the Female Wrestler of the Year in
twenty twenty two, same with the Women of the Year and Pro Wrestling Illustrated
Illustrated. In twenty twenty two, she was ranked number one of the top
one hundred and fifty female wrestlers in pwi's Women's won fifty and twenty twenty one
she won number nine. She ranked number nine in the top ten women's wrestlers
in twenty eighteen. It's twenty eighteen before things really got going for her.
She was ranked number three in the top ten wrestlers in twenty one. In
twenty twenty two, she has won the Best WW Female and the Slam Wrestling
Awards in twenty twenty two. She has been Women's w Women's Champion two times,
SmackDown Women's Champion one time. She's won the Royal Rumble in twenty twenty
one. She's had the best match of the half year in twenty twenty one.
Pretty weird if there's such a barrage of racism, that the fans would
allow somebody like this to ascend to the heights that they have. And again,
I know, look, people all over the world, there are individuals,
individual people that are racist, absolutely, yes, and what this person
said against Bianca is is wrong, absolutely, But this seems to be a
bit of an overreaction to me and a sign of the times we're in to
jump to defend somebody that doesn't need defending, that is doing just fine on
her own. Okay, just fine. So I'm gonna leave that there.
I might have more to say to this on my mailbat or my after dark
show, but uh, I just want to be clear. What that one
person, one that I've seen said is gross. What the other person said
that they just don't like Bianca, I mean, okay, who cares you
just assume because someone doesn't like them it's because of their skin color. Isn't
that a more referendum on you than that person. So I've seen one,
one out of one hundred and some thousand people that liked it said something that
was wrong, and now we're all gonna jump and jump on the race hustling
train that all of a sudden, there's you know, all this barrage and
systemic race. Stop it stop my god? All right, and I'm a
look, I'm a big Bianca fan. I I did I not just advocate
for her to be in the main event for the women against RIEA Ripley.
I think that would be a much more interesting and fun match. She's better
suited against Ria Ripley than Becky is. She is arguably the best pure women's
athlete, or maybe pure athlete period in the company. She's incredibly athletic.
Could she work on her promos a little bit? Yeah? Do I like?
Do I want to see her turn heel at some point? Absolutely?
But again I know that because I'm a white guy, some people out there
and say, oh, well, I can hear the mumblings, right,
I could care less because I know what I am and what I stand for.
So you hear what you want to hear. Touchy subject today, But
since it brought into the wrestling world, it's the only reason I'm talking about
it. It's in the wrestling world and it's big news right now for a
hot minute that I wanted to address it, and those are my thoughts,
So take that with what you will. Can't wait to hear the feedback on
that. All right, so let's continue you on with I think I got
how many more emails? I got? Not too many. Let's see where
I lost myself. Oh all right, so I went through Rocky. I
went through Rocky Tea. Yeah I did. Okay, thanks, thanks so
much Rocky. All right, let's get to uh, let's see King Scully,
he says, King Scully's in the house. He's representing the UK.
Hey, Matt and WW podcast galaxy. Oh we're a galaxy now, cool?
All right, I mean we're growing. We're not a universe yet.
Universe is bigger than a galaxy, so maybe we're the WW podcast universe.
Glad you're feeling better and sounding much like yourself. Well, thank you,
But as you say that, and then I delayed the podcast or the mailbag
two days because I felt like crap again. But again, I think it's
because of something I ate that that's different than just getting a cold or you
know, sore throat or whatever. Anyway, I have some crazy scenario in
my head for the WrestleMania main event that I want to share with you.
In the Wrestling World Night one, Roman of Rock versus seven and Cody,
I think the Rock and Rains will pick up the victory. So the main
event is Bloodline Rules. Here's where it gets crazy and fun. So during
the main event of Cody and Roman, we will have an entertaining back and
forth match with both men getting their moments. During the contest. There will
be near falls, momentum swings in both directions. Then shenanigans will begin,
most likely when Cody's about to seal the win. First, Jimmy interferes.
Jay will be the one to fight with him, maybe some backstage area or
something. Second, after Cody Roads attempts to hit the Crossroads solo. Soko
will then show up try to hit a SMO and Spike again. But then
we get my time as now hits John Cena runs to the aid of Roads.
Scena will get taken advantage of, and then Osina will get the advantage
and then the Rock, the great One, the Rock comes out, makes
his way to the ring and gets the better of Sena. The glass shatters,
stone Cold, Stone Cold, and the Rock and Austin go at it
and we see one of those epic stunners. Okay, first of all,
before I'm getting chills reading this because this sounds extremely plausible. Now, there
is an element of overbooking here that a lot of people could talk about,
but so far we haven't heard anybody, or we haven't heard in your scenario
people attacking Roman. They are just evening the odds. Sena attacking Solo so
CoA makes sense given their last bout what happened in their last one, Solo
so CoA tried to end the career of John Cena. Remember, like forty
eight, Smoan spikes to his throat. There's actually a reason for John Cena
to be involved here. That makes total sense, total sense. Jimmy and
Jay also makes total sense, given they had a battle the night before or
earlier in the night. As far as Austin goes, Austin and Rock are
rivals just by their nature, So I would even accept Austin coming out if
there's no reason given beforehand. Rock and Austin have been rivals since the get
go. They're just natural enemies in the wrestling world, and I think that
would make total sense because you're just upping the ante from Jimmy or Jay coming
out to neutralize Jimmy, Sina coming out to neutralize Solo, and Austin coming
out to neutralize the Rock, and then it's back to square one. Nobody
touches Roman. That way, you can't claim that Cody was helped. He
was just given a level playing field, which is all I've asked for.
This is While it does seem a bit overbooked, which is the only criticism
about this, I think that the criticism and the blowback of this being overbooked
would be overshadowed by how awesome this would be in execution. So I would
take a little bit of overbooking for this. Oh Man, all right,
maybe our title list. Drew will then join the madness and hit claymore on
Austin. Maybe try to cost Cody do to being pissed that he beat Seth
only to be cashed in on earlier in the night by Priest. Yes,
Priest will be the heavyweight champ. However, Seth will come down with a
steel chair. I have visions of the chair from Seth back to the back
of roads. After Drew backs off, Rains will have his usual shock face
and then hit a spear one two, three, Rains will retain. It
sounds like it'd be too much, but it's WrestleMania forty Okay. I was
with you until the Drew stuff, so I would not have that stuff happen.
You're crossing over too many people and too many now that would be incredibly
overbooked. I think Rains retaining is fun to think about, but I also
after Austin stuns the Rock and things are neutralized, then it's to me one
on one, no bloodline. Bloodline's gone. It's now back to even playing
field, and Cody wins. But if Roman retains, holy crap. Thanks
King Scully. All right, let's see here. I mean, I don't
know how many more I have. I'll see, let's see what my patience
is here, Sage. My thoughts for this week. I feel like they
may be starting a slow Gunther face turn, sort of like they did for
a very slow Drew heel turn. My thinking is Damien and Gunther face off
last week is a preview of something down the line. If Damian Cash is
in and is world champion, I think Roman cutting off the Rock on the
mic is a foreshadowing of something happening at Mania. For example, Roman's about
to pick up the chair to hit Cody, and the Rock putting his arm
around him stopping him, or maybe Roman picking up the necklace after he loses,
and the Rock saying that's mine. I'd like to see them put Naomi
in Bailey's story as a partner. Naomi's character seems a bit lost since they
brought her back and Naomi was Sasha's partner, as was Bailey. Want so
they could play off that as a little Bailey being Naomi's partner in crime.
That's fine. I mean, I would agree that Naomi has been a lost
puppy. She hasn't had anything to do, no almost no mike time.
They brought her back, but they clearly didn't have a plan. They just
said, let's bring her back. But what are we gonna do with her?
I don't know, you know, So I would agree Naomi needs something
solid to sink her teeth into. Please the Rock. And for the foreshadowing,
yeah, there was definitely something there on SmackDown, absolutely, and that
could be a foreshadowing of Rock and Roman's tension boiling over, which could happen
at WrestleMania or maybe after WrestleMania, could happen to the Monday Night Raw after
WrestleMania, which I think is more likely. I think the Rock and Roman
have a Splitsville Mondaynette Raw after WrestleMania, after Roman has lost and there's tension,
then yeah it's over. So yeah, but Gunther's as far as Gunther's
slow baby face turned. Yes, I think they're kind of testing the waters
here. I mean, look what they did. They put Gunther in against
the most hated man in the company right now, and they cheered for Gunther
as they should have. So it's kind of a start from the very bottom
of the turn and see what happens. Thanks Age, All right, Sam,
First, you can tell something has gotten the better, gotten better by
the fact that nobody says, quote, bring back the attitude are anymore?
What do you think of the Rock talking a lot by himself as opposed to
him and Roman going back and forth. Well, they're not in a program
together. Well once they once you know, they turn on each other,
then yeah, there should be a lot of them having a promo against one
another. Yes, absolutely, But right now there's no need to cause the
Rocks beef isn't with Roman yet, It's with Cody and with Seth so that's
why. But yeah, no one's asking for bring back attitude era because right
now we're living in an era that I think we're gonna look back on fondly
of I don't know what error this is called the reality era, the I
don't know whatever you call it now, but whatever error we're in, we're
gonna look back on fondly, I believe. All right, let's talk to
one more person. This is it, This is it, This is it?
All right? Nick? Nick says, Matt, you keep asking for
a reason for Austin or anyone to get involved with the main event on Night
two and leveling the playing field against the blood Line. To me, it's
simple and easy to explain. The blood line is the reason. Anyone with
a history, anyone with any history with the Rock of Roman, has a
case to want to protect the integrity of the company and help Cody take the
title. And I could see it turning into an epic overbooked for the sake
of WWE moment. As long as they don't directly interfere with Roman, how
incredible would it be two c Austin, Sena Taker, Hogan, Randy punk
Zane and even new Drew new Champ, Drew McIntyre all come to surround the
ring to stop the Bloodline from interfering. Sorry, I told you I was
overbooking it. Nick from Eugene soon to finally be a patron when I get
my tax return, Well yeah, that's uh. You don't have to spend
your tax return on us. But I mean it's a I'm not gonna stop
you, but I hope you do decide to join us, Nick, Okay.
The fact that you have all these people, I mean, that's just
incredibly overbooked. I'm not gonna lie to you. I think there's a handful
of people that should get involved in this, and they should. But surrounding
the ring I think would be a distraction. It would be a big distraction.
And what is I know what you mean? Like you have all these
legends surrounding the ring to you know, stop the blood line? That to
me, he is taking the focus off of Cody and the focus is going
to be on your Shouldn't it not be on your new champion, the guy
you're gonna you know, Tag is the face, true face of the company.
Now, the guy that you're gonna put the weight to the company on
the shoulders of and have him carry it down the field. Wouldn't you want
the focus to be on that guy? You know? I know what you
mean, though, but I think that ultimately it's gonna be a quick hitting
stunner F you or AA. You know, Jimmy and Jay battling, And
that's how I think it's gonna end, just like King. I think King
Scully's got it. That's how exactly I would book the main event, except
know Drew and I'd have Roman lose. So all right, right at that
hour, I got through all the emails. Voicemails I will do on the
weekend review. Okay, how about that. I'll do the voicemails on the
weeknd review. So that means you still have time to send me your voicemail.
So, DJ, I saw your voicemail. I think we had a
couple on my other place. I use Google Voice for excuse me, my
voicemails. Let's see how many we have here. We've got Jason from Oregon.
Okay, I see your your voicemail. Okay, we have right now
we have a total of let's see one, two, three, four,
five voicemails. Josh, I see yours, Jason, I see yours.
Alex the French guy, I see yours, obviously, DJ. Yes,
So guys, right now we have five voicemails. I'll get to all of
them on the weekend review. That'll be done Sunday, so you have to
wait a couple more days. But that means the rest of the listeners if
you want, have a chance to call in, and that number is five
one eight nine to five to two zero two four seven. All right,
that'll do it for me right now. I appreciate everybody, Thank you so
much for joining us here, and again, you want to join us on
Patreon, great place to do it's go add freepatreon dot com slash wwe podcast.
Also, we will be starting on I think it's No. One.
It is March fifteenth. We will be doing a price increase on Apple podcast
but only for new Apple podcast subscribers, not existing. Those who are existing
have their price locked in for infinity okay. And the reason I'm telling you
that is if you're thinking about Apple Podcasts and getting in on the Apple podcast
side of things for ad free, then I would do it now, okay
before the price changes in about a week. So head on over to Apple
Podcasts right now if you are thinking about it, and lock your price in
for two ninety nine a month, because in a week that'll be going up
a little bit. So all of you who are already subscribers again, your
price isn't changing, it's just for new subscribers after the fifteenth. So all
right, that'll do it for me. Everybody, take care, talk to
you next time. Thanks for listening to the WWE podcast. Don't forget to
subscribe on your favorite podcast app so you don't miss a show, or head
to WWE podcast dot com. And for all of these shows ad free head
over to Patreon dot com slash WWE podcast. Well then we'll see you next
time, Hm,
