Special Edition WWE WrestleMania 31

The following is a sooner orgator production.
It is 602 on the East Coast.
It is 302 on the West Coast, which is really the time frame you're worried about right now.
It is the 29th of March in the year of our Lord 2015.
It is season 5, episode 34, numerically 293 times.
I have said the words, the clubhouse is live and on the air we welcome each and every
one of you individually, whether you're listening live on you stream, whether you're
on our archive, or you subscribe on iTunes.
We don't care how you listen, we're just glad you're here.
My name is Rob and I could not be more excited right now because it is the official, well,
unofficial.
WrestleMania 31 pre-show the day has arrived.
I am not alone in the studio because if I would this show would be incredibly boring.
So let's go around the hoard, joining me across the desk as he does each and every week
is a man who would only took him 10 months to wear the shirt I bought for him last Memorial
day, but he's wearing it now.
He is Chad.
Welcome, sir.
The occasion had to be proper this is a proper occasion.
Across from me as well is the official fact checker of this show and a man who today was
elected the vice president of the John Cena fan club.
You may know him as fun, don, go, but his mom and name and don for it, I'm going to call
him, don for it.
Welcome, sir.
Bruno Sam Martino, Larry Subisco.
Bruno Sam Martino, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco,
Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco, Larry Subisco.
You are not far enough away to be hit with that to not be hit with a chair.
Also joining us to his left friend of the show and it got its may have spent more time in
my house this week and then he has it his own as long as the whole of fame went last night.
He is Steven Zimmerman, welcome sir.
Hi.
I don't have an introduction right now.
I don't, that's that's random.
And to his left, next is a man who is boning up on his wrestling knowledge for the journey
that lies ahead of him.
He is one of my favorite people in the world.
He has Dave Scott, welcome sir.
And not to mention him also sobering up.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're good for that.
I thought offers him a cannabitable air of the dog, air of the dog.
This is WrestleMania not the Scooby Doo goes to mystery of the WrestleMania.
You are currently hearing one of the two theme songs for WrestleMania 31.
Even though they're not calling it, they're just calling it WrestleMania now.
But dog wanted its WrestleMania 31.
This is Kid Inc.
It's called Money in the Power.
Where should get the money?
But he got the power.
He's not MVP.
He's not.
No.
It sounds like a song that was featured on Empire.
Probably was.
Probably was.
Could be.
This is the other one.
David Getta and Skyler Gray.
I like to David Getta.
Kind of like his work.
It is called Rise.
Those are your two themes for WrestleMania this year.
It is a four hour paper view.
We hope that you're ready for it because we are.
We're going to have a house full of people.
Watch you get on the WWE network for only 99, 99 a month.
I actually saw somebody on Facebook last night that was still buying it on paper view.
I'm like, what are you doing, dude?
As you said, that Blitz report just notified me that you can catch tonight's WrestleMania on the WWE app.
Before.
Well, see, I don't like it when WWE does that.
Am I?
Can you not filter your notifications?
No.
Blitz report.
No.
I'm just saying, like, why would WWE send me that notification?
Which I did get.
Which I got this morning.
Like, I'm already.
I already have it.
Okay.
It's like, it's like when they promote it.
You're in the pay for view that you're watching on that.
Before we begin, it's been a while since I've been on the regular show.
I've done lots of extra.
Let's get rolling you because we have a lot to talk about.
I got gifts for you.
Okay.
And Chad, this is the same thing.
I'm going to beat you with this.
I already know what this is.
I know.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to open this.
I know what this is.
But this is for you.
This one you're going to like.
Okay.
Because I'm not opening the same thing.
And also for Dave.
Oh, there's some for Dave.
Yeah.
It's the same one.
I'll preview you got the same one.
Nice.
I'm going to unravel because I know what it is.
It's okay.
This one's supposed to.
Oh.
That's awesome.
Yes.
Yeah.
I don't want to unwrap because it's a full size movie one sheet.
And lastly, this is the sixth one for Chad too.
Thank you.
That get hard.
Yeah.
The little Disney one here.
Oh, that it was get hard.
Lastly for the Z-Man.
It is a Disney.
I got it all the Oscar party ends.
It's been a while since I've been on.
But that not.
I grabbed a bunch of stuff for you guys.
I thought the kids got it over there, Stephen.
A peanut butter and jealous shirt.
Peanut butter, jealous time, peanut butter.
Put the interview.
Oh, really.
Okay.
Get jealous.
That's all.
The kids my posters saw that.
It's like I had to get one free tree.
Guys, because how much you guys love this one.
I'm sure it's so good.
Oh, Chad got a big hero six.
Look at that.
Kevin, yeah.
How much I love this movie.
But I've got it in my queue.
I haven't watched it.
What's the king's watch?
You guys got the king's watch?
Almost name my dog.
No, my dog.
And Tay, whose nickname is damage.
I actually almost named him Tadashi.
But I didn't want him to die.
Tadashi also named him.
Tadashi also named him of a Christian rapper.
He's very, very different.
He's from Dallas, I believe.
He's a Japanese.
He is not.
Let's get into corrections.
Last week, Chad was a little confused.
And we were talking about the rock and roll hall of fame.
When we were talking about John Mayer inducting Stevie Ray Vaughan.
And he thought Jimmy should have done it.
But the more I thought about it, the more I'm like,
you know, Jimmy's probably going to do the speech after the induction.
So I don't think you'd want to do both because that would be weird.
Yeah.
Because he had a, I don't think he had a,
Well, he definitely didn't leave any kids behind.
So there is that.
But that's the only thing I got.
That's anybody's got anything I would need to be corrected from last week.
Don't you hear anything?
Oh, no.
Okay.
Don's going to have a busy week this week.
He is relocating.
I'm Saturday.
I can't wait.
If then after that, what do we have after that?
No, they're national.
So the next time we do a show will be from the Dallas.
Yes, well, because we will be off next week for Easter.
So you're going to enjoy the holiday with your family.
And we'll, we'll get the update when we're going to be showing it.
Oh, yeah.
Lesnar does recign a three year deal with WWE and says on ESPN Sports Center.
He has closed the door on MMA.
He says he tried to do some training for a couple of weeks.
And he just couldn't get himself to the physical,
physical level that he thought he needed to be at.
So.
But my question is was there really anything else that he had to accomplish there?
I just think he was like, I make almost double the money in WWE to work.
Little or and work less and not actually keep.
And he said, well, he said that he said,
I'm going to get paid full time to work a part time schedule.
And when he said that I was like, how does Vince here,
this and not go?
Maybe that's a problem.
You think?
Because Vince is the one who asked for it.
And the thing is, what if you're a regular wrestler on the road?
And this guy's making twice as much and he only comes in for the one fifth of the shows that you do.
And I disagree with what Vince said about, you know,
not having the champion on television makes it better.
No, it doesn't.
No, it does not.
Joe is telling people he is WWE bound.
Many feel he's going to go to NXT.
I don't think he will.
I don't think I think putting Joe in NXT.
He's been on TV before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, there's no need for him to work on anything.
He knows how to be on something of production.
He's not in the in these.
He works with camera side.
He works with everything like that.
Just throw him into the main roster.
I mean, if you want to, I mean, you kind of got a cluster in the middle of a pre show.
Anyways, just throw him in the onto the job better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That there has been floated out there.
I still think I'd like to see him in certain this thing Triple H match.
He, he will lose to Zack writer in the better oil.
Woo, woo, woo.
You know it.
You know what I'm a fan.
Revolution.
Tap out in WWE.
We have reached a deal.
If you saw the Hall of Fame last night, you saw the commercial for the WWE tap out gear.
I like the shirt that Roman was wearing.
It wasn't like that overtly tap out deal.
It was kind of a cool little TO logo that they had.
Well, it's going to, it's going to look really good now because I mean, WWE was putting out fitness stuff
with like the superstars like you get the protein blenders and the rags and the duffle bags.
You know, they were kind of flimsy, but I think with the tap out stuff, you can really make it seem nice.
Oh yeah.
That's a high quality bar.
Yeah.
So I'm going to look forward to what they actually put out for the superstars.
And what just the normal WWE tap out name brand fusion.
Like that's going to be pretty neat.
Chat.
We've moved past the Icopro era of Luke on fire.
Yes, we've moved past the world body building federation.
But they pints a crap out of that thing.
Yes, they did.
Goodness mercy.
Also tonight, singing America the beautiful because that was one of the questions that everyone was asking was,
we know LL cool Jay's doing the intro, which apparently is out there.
You can watch it now.
But America the beautiful is going to be sung by this guy.
Not tass.
Not tass.
I like this guy's work.
This is LL black.
And this has actually been a WWE paper view theme as well.
So I do like his style a lot.
Fairly recently.
Yeah.
I want to say this was a survivor series.
So there's that.
Let's go ahead and talk about raw real quick.
And chat.
I pointed this out to you when we were watching SmackDown the other night.
And Steven, I don't know if you've noticed this or not.
Camera side ring apron is now a video a little video wall.
Yeah, you told me that last night I'm like, oh, no.
Dude, it looks really cool.
It really does.
It makes sense because they always had to break it down.
And I think chat had the best point about that.
Why wouldn't you do that at WrestleMania to unveil that?
Why would you do it on the go home show?
Unless they were wanting to make sure it worked right.
Maybe they were.
To keep beta testing.
Knock it out all the kinks.
Maybe making sure they didn't work properly.
But when Stink came out, it looks really, really cool.
Like all the, he had all the little crows on there and stuff.
His face came through it and stuff.
It was neat.
Sign of the week goes to a couple of guys because of course,
Sting was the first thing on the show Monday night.
And they were little pieces of paper.
No bigger than, you know, copy paper.
But they were holding it landscape style with an arrow pointing down that just had
Marking out.
That made me happy.
It just did.
We're right over some people's heads, but we got it.
A lot of people talking about the betting odds.
And you can bet on the matches tonight.
Not only online, some biggest casinos are taking odds.
You bet biggest now.
And it always has for me.
It always has for Mania.
And with their new partnership of draftkings.com.
Yes.
And UFC's got them now too.
But here's my question.
Do you think the booking is affected by the betting odds?
Do you think they watch the line and maybe change the
booking midstream because of it?
Oh, usually.
That's how they make their money.
It's like football.
When these guys are talking about Vegas.
I'm talking about WWE.
Ooh.
Do you think they watch those betting?
Because it's all predetermined.
They can watch those betting lines and go, you know what?
Let's go the other way.
Yeah.
I wouldn't put it past them.
I wouldn't put it past them.
I was thinking about that as I was watching Rawmond and Adam.
I'm like, I'm wondering if that affects the booking.
There was a shift in the Lesnar one too.
Who would really hold them responsible?
Nobody can.
I mean, if you're dumb enough to bet on it.
Okay.
It was good to see the divas get a really good amount of TV time this week.
And that was a high quality match.
I read today that due to the popularity of total divas and this whole give
divas a chance thing.
It's actually affecting booking time for the divas.
WWE is saying they're going to be giving them more airtime.
It's funny because like there's like, I work with all women.
And like there's just a bunch of random like women.
I know who know nothing of professional wrestling or anything like that.
But they know I like wrestling.
So they're like, oh, I really like total divas.
I want to watch it.
Really?
Now because of the show.
So like everyone follows page.
A lot of people follow Brie Bella.
And it's funny.
They're just like, I want to watch wrestling now.
Because whatever they're doing, no matter how bad the show may be,
it's over in the women are actually really invested.
Because they see the soap opera.
Because they see it.
For me, it's having the opposite effect.
I stopped watching because it was, I mean,
I understand the professional wrestling is scripted.
And I've known that my entire life.
My mom's smarted me up when I was very young.
This is too much.
This show is too much scripted.
Oh, yeah, the show is.
But the days of the divas getting a 30, 30 second match on Raw.
Like it would've been for a long time in the divas.
Well, and that was a good amount of TV time.
They got Monday night.
Yeah, but I mean, you look back two, three years ago.
We timed the women's matches at the paper.
Is there like two, three minutes?
You know, they're, they should get the correct.
But this generation of divas, I think, as a whole.
I mean, you've always had great, of course.
You put a bunch of blaze in the Hall of Fame.
Yeah.
Very athletic.
But overall, this is the strongest generation of divas
Athletically, in my opinion.
You think over Trishon, Alita, in Black Jackie at the time.
But again.
Yeah, but as they are.
Yeah, okay.
As a whole.
Because you have a bunch of wrestlers
that aren't wrestling who are, like, stout.
I mean, you have NXT, like, all the NXT women wrestlers can go.
Well, their divas are crazy.
You forget.
And yes, she might be like a prop at this point.
But some array is phenomenal in the ring.
When they're.
The player's daughter.
The player's daughter.
She's an ex.
You know.
We're talking about people.
And that are awesome.
Some array of my thing with her is once when they take the cuffs off her,
she can go.
But for some reason, it feels like they're holding her back
athletically.
And I don't get it.
She's just a skinny, blonde, very pretty woman.
So they're going to be like, Oh, let's just have her for aesthetics.
That's a fair point.
Let's have.
I mean, that's essentially all this.
And I did think it was weird that last year we put Razor Ramonon,
because we were waiting for Scott Hall to go with the NWW.
But this year we put Kevin Nash in and not diesel.
It seemed kind of like a reversal of psychology on that.
But a great speech.
Sean was always great.
Sean walked out and pulled out his papers for his.
His script.
And then he ripped him up and threw him behind.
And he goes, I'm already going to get in trouble.
So let's just do this right.
Well, long as it wasn't in like size 76 font that recation.
No, was that recation?
Yeah, recation.
Okay.
You know, the ease like three inches.
Yeah.
But you're not the beef there.
Why he didn't say anything about too cool.
No, I didn't see something this morning.
I said headline, but I didn't click on it.
Go ahead.
They had a little.
He talked about all these people.
But he never said anything about too cool.
He didn't think was odd.
And the thing is, I guess a little bit while back, they had a beef at it in a
Pented show.
And they're not on good terms right now.
Really?
Yeah, that's the room we're going right now.
That's unfortunate.
Yeah.
But outside is the bisco, a pretty good show.
I love that warrior award.
I think it was awesome.
Just no more bushwackers on the other story.
And another story.
And another story.
Chad was another bandgirl and out for the bushwackers.
You try to lick dogs head.
And it starts.
Got to have been found.
Roman Reigns has.
Roman Reigns has a interview this week where somebody asked him, okay, well, we've already
got this card set.
Next year, it's going to be in Arlington.
Who do you think would be a great main event for next year's Russell Mania?
And he said, honestly, I'd love it to easy killers.
I'd love it to be a shield triple threat.
And you know what?
I'm on board with it.
Oh, me too.
I'm totally on board with him.
He's better than Santino.
And he's slater.
Hey, he was Santino.
He's, he had the honky meter.
They're going to pull off the stuff.
That's so bad.
The honky meter.
They're already talking on this.
He's going to bring it.
So this is not a 70s SNL.
This is going to bring in so many hallfamers for this thing to try to break
the world into our tenants on this thing.
And they'll do it.
And I don't know if you guys saw this commercial Monday night.
May the fifth.
Cinco de Mayo.
ESPN is going to do a one hour e60 documentary called WWE behind the curtain.
It's all about NXT.
Oh, really?
That ought to be fascinating.
The trailer.
I watched the commercial for it.
It looks really, really cool.
The only thing that I'll make this matter.
Jonathan Cochman does it.
They haven't said who's actually doing it.
But it's the one I can't afford.
But they don't.
They also have what's his name, too.
They've taught Grisha.
They've got him too on ESPN.
So he does a lot of ESPN new stuff.
Yeah.
But I'm on board.
My DVR will be set.
I know that for a fact.
Well, I mean, anything for a fact.
Smackdown.
We don't have a lot to talk about because there's like two matches.
There was two matches.
And it was mostly access stuff.
I did watch a quite a bit of as we were waiting for the Hall of Fame to start.
Watched about 45 minutes of WrestleMania today from it was Friday's episode.
That was kind of neat.
Because it was an empty access convention center.
And it was just them talking about stuff.
It was kind of a,
Ziegler was completely out of character.
He was getting interviewed by me, Jean.
And he was talking about how this is a dream come true.
He was totally messing with me and Jean.
It was really neat to see.
Ziegler kind of just kind of let it all down for a minute.
There's a really good interview.
The set part is the best thing to smack down this week was that promo.
What the, uh,
Bellas and H.A.
That was probably the best thing of the whole show.
Unfortunately.
Well, I mean, but Dean is getting their time.
Yeah, I'm saying.
Yeah, let's talk a little bit about impact because we still have to complete the circle.
And see him.
Did you get caught up today by chance?
Uh, no.
I didn't finish last Friday's.
But you watch at least started it.
Yeah.
What do you think about the new set?
I'm okay with it.
I'm all right with it.
I'm not like over the top because I was actually enjoying.
You know, the whole like very mild just Christmas lights in the background.
No video.
But you know what threw me those banners.
They had these huge banners on the side that look like just normally printed banners.
And it took me a while to figure it out.
They've got projectors behind them.
So the banners on the sides of the entrance way can be whoever you want.
I'm like, because they walked out and it had, um,
Cowboy James storm and a bis on it.
I'm like, so what do they do to teach these banners?
That reminds me of the old, um,
Oh, actually the joke, the insurrection.
Uh, the great Britain one when they used to do that for like William Rego versus edge.
Yeah, they used to do that on the sides.
And it looks, I liked it.
I thought it looks great.
So I was impressed with the new entry way.
Uh,
We now have a group that's going to combat the BDC called the rising.
With Drew Galaway.
I have no idea who the other two guys are going to hurt those guys.
Did you get deep enough to see that?
No.
I'm hoping you'll know who they are because I have no idea.
It's Jay and Jay security only.
Wigs.
Well, one of them's got a mohawk.
So maybe it's lethal.
I don't know.
But I don't know who these guys are.
And something I've noticed and I don't know why I haven't thought about this in so long.
But you noticed when somebody goes to the top rope and the referee starts counting.
Has anyone ever been disqualified for being on the top turn buckle for too long?
Can we just go ahead and get rid of that?
Why are you counting somebody on the top turn buckle?
You know they're going to jump, leave them alone.
And, oh, did you see Bram's entrance yet?
Steven?
No.
Watch it closely when it happens.
When he comes out, their plan is music.
And for some reason, the video wall to the right of him,
shows the bromand logo.
It was like wrong entrance.
The music was right, but the video was wrong.
And it was there for about five seconds and it goes back to Bram.
I'm like, yeah, he's not one of the bromands.
Not even close, brother.
Do we have a report?
One of them?
I don't know.
Sean Ricker from NXT who got cut last year and all the cuts.
Okay.
And then this guy.
Macho.
Camacho from Unico Camacho.
Really?
The guy used to ride the bike?
Yep.
That's come.
I didn't get a good enough look.
Fair enough.
All right, gentlemen.
It is the WrestleMania pre show.
Normally we are one stop shop for all things sports and entertainment.
But tonight there's no way that's happening.
We are wrestling intensive because it is time for WrestleMania 31.
In 28 or 38 minutes.
If you've got the network get it cut up because the pre show's been on almost an hour and a half.
The fatal four is going right now.
Oh, so the fatal four way for the tag match.
The tag titles is going right now.
What about the other one?
Who's in that match?
Yeah, they've done the battle really?
No.
No.
I say they saved that.
I think they somehow just like say, you know what?
Let's do all the national anthem stuff.
I mean, because you're already watching the network as it is.
So it's not like paper viewer.
Like, oh, you're watching on this channel flip over the paper view.
And you might as well just do all the national anthem, all the video stuff.
Yeah.
It's already over.
Okay.
So we're going to have to predict that one.
Who wins?
It says winner here is Cesaro and Tyson.
Okay.
So kids Cesaro as Booker T is officially calling them.
Retain the tag titles.
That's pretty much the way I was going to call it anyway.
So I'm good with that.
The masters of the universe in the ring.
The masters of the WWE universe.
I like just the masters.
So they defeat the Usos, Los Mata Doris, and a big E in coffee from the new day.
Let's now go to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Let me see if I can't pull it because I don't have anymore.
I can't even pick a win.
I'm Stephen and I were talking in pre-show.
My pick changes every five minutes too.
I can't pick a winner here.
I know, guy.
I mean, we think maybe we're going to have a shameless appearance.
I think maybe Joe.
If I've got to pick with the guys that are out there right now.
And this is a, this is going to be a weird Dark Horse pick.
Can't grow.
Yeah.
We use it the whole family's night.
Right back.
No, he's actually throwing out.
I was one of the top three favorites.
He missed out and someone else.
I would love to see missed out.
I missed out.
I'm a sad out student.
That's the thing.
I don't know who all is in this thing.
So it's kind of hard to predict.
Basically, you've got the prime time players are in it.
The ascensions in it.
Friends, he's in it.
Canes in it.
Oh, here it is.
Here it is.
Okay.
Give me the list.
The Miz.
Axel.
Ryback.
Fondango.
Adam Rose.
Zach Ryder.
Jack Swagger.
Tadis O'Neal.
Darren Young.
Big show.
Cane.
Eric Rowan.
Damian.
Miss Dahl.
Sincara.
Gold Dust.
He Slater.
Mark Henry Conner.
Victor.
If it's not him, it's going to be Zach Ryder who might be in the final eight.
Sandel.
Okay.
Sandel is favorite though.
David, are you laying out on predictions here?
Yeah.
Okay.
David's conscientious subject.
I've finished me.
That's my client.
Dave.
Select Zach Ryder.
Okay.
There we go.
Say Axel.
Say Axel.
Curtis Axel.
I only know one Axel and that's Rose.
They had a pinball machine at the deal yesterday that I went to.
My wife to watch draft day last night.
She said she very much enjoyed it.
That's a good flick.
Yeah.
Much better than it is.
That's the one about the Browns or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With Conner.
Diva's tag.
Diva's title.
Not on the line.
These are about by the way.
This is the order I think they're going to go on this earlier.
The Bella twins versus AJ Lee and Paige.
I think the faces win this just because the Bella's have to stop winning at some point
Don.
I agree.
Steven.
This is where it's just going to fall.
The pieces.
I don't think there's a winner.
But then it's going to start going into like a fatal four way over the belt.
But then that's how they bring Charlotte in.
And it's like you girl.
You are pros.
But you're acting like girls.
Let me come in and show you how to wrestle.
And then it's like wheels off and you can bring her in that way.
You should book for the company.
You really should.
Chad.
I don't know if it's going to go down that way.
But I agree that there's probably not going to be a winner.
I don't think it's going to go down that way.
I mean, it's probably not going to be a winner.
I don't think it's just going to explode.
It's just shooting out again.
Yeah.
All right fair enough.
I don't go with Michael Jackson.
Okay.
Fair enough, fair enough.
It's a match that is a grutch match.
The glove versus Morgan.
I think this match comes out of nowhere.
That's just me.
Randy Orton Seth Rollins.
think this ends the angle I think this is where Orton gets the win because the rumors
I'm hearing after Mania, we start the Rawlins Reigns feud, which we're going to talk
about a little bit later, see you then.
I have this whole device scheme that I've been thinking about for four weeks and like it
has Orton looking strong at the beginning and then he gets beat down because the entire
authority comes out and surrounds the ring and they're all watching Orton get beat down
and tripping him up and stuff and then he gets curb stomped and as he gets curb stomped
he flips over you got you got uh Rollins going up to the top rope and I don't know what
they call it in WWE it's something else like uh but he does the other saving grace
yeah he does the same thing yeah he does the saving grace and off his second flip
he does the front flip coming off the corkscrew orton's up and catches him in the air and beats
him and then as he pins him he stares everyone down and just walks out of the ring
like nothing happened that would be a great spot I'm not going to lie to you but then that
that right there would be like oh Rollins isn't worth anything he couldn't even win
a normal match and then that if if Reigns wins tonight he goes and cash it all right Chad
orton don't I'm saying uh Orton and he does cash it oh we'll talk about the cash it yeah
I forgot my money and the bank duffle bag today oh yeah you did you came with the belt
straight out yeah no no no Louis Vuitton I still have that briefcase I got to get a payment
United States championship on the line oh it my client picks uh Randy Orton okay fair enough
there we go how did I thank you Rusev versus John Cheney not
Louis that much got I this match is weird for me because there's the part of me that says
Cena did the job at fast lane so he gets the win back tonight
in defense and ends ends Rusev's undefeated streak but then the other part of me goes
why does Cena need the US title this isn't like a rocky four situation is it
take the American title back from the evil Russian type thing yeah I agree but I mean here here's
my thing I'm gonna say Rusev wins and I think we save the the John Cheney victory for extreme rules
Chad not wrestle maybe yeah no because they got to still have Rusev over he's not that's the only
thing that concerns me is that you kill his push well because you look at you look at you look at
you kill his push if you look at Rusev style it's a very unorthodox style where he's doing the
kicks and the you know he beats John Cheney at fast lane with the low kick extreme rules kind of
seems like the better way to end this thing and that's just me yeah done as much as I hate to say this
he was on Kim on other promotions he's not gonna job twice in a row with John Cena's never
done that in his life he's gonna win tonight and for as much as I basically has well yeah
then he's they he's jobed it he's jobs a Rusev two two two paper reason a row well no he'll face
to the first time last time he's not gonna job tonight the scene is gonna win as much as I hate
to say it Steven um I had a great time today at the mall because I saw like a group of kids in
Cena shirts and I kept yelling Rusev crushed from the top of the elevator or escalator and they were
looking around in a lot of them were getting pissed off because I was just like Rusev crash you never
didn't mean it but I'm back she's growing wearing a beautiful white outfit yeah I'm going
Rusev just because I I agree it's you if you want to try to put a heel over and you're trying
to build him and you're trying to make him seem credible and you're putting all this effort into
him but it's WWE wrestling logic you probably will lose but I'm picking him to win I'm picking
Rusev to win and yeah who do you first you're speaking Spanish now it's Russian I can't follow
it's so popular it's ridiculous it's an international show let's say see that I'll go with
Cena because that's all I know you're no longer my client and what will probably be the match
that steals this card and I've got a feeling they're gonna start with it and if they do it will
be the biggest mistake they can make the intercontinental title ladder match the intercontinental
title ladder line bad news Barrett Daniel Bryan Dolph Ziegler Luke Harper star dust
Artruth and Dean Ambrose this is going to be the bomb it's gonna be as Cole likes to call it a
demolition derby uh isn't Cody Rhodes it start us start us oh yeah sorry sorry guys it's been a week
good and you're working on four hours sleep right true I honestly believe that Barrett
retains in this thing I think it's gonna be all over the place I think you're one Shelton Benjamin
short of this being the most insane ladder match ever but I think I think there's gonna be some
kind of shenanigans that are gonna involve Daniel Bryan and Ziegler but I think Barrett retains done
I'm gonna go away on a loop I'm saying Artruth because he's always been the guy in the background
I'm always getting a belty in I'm literally staying what the heck Artruth I'm okay with that yeah
I mean I love my own opinion I'm not gonna wear this yeah I'm right there
this is gonna be this match is probably gonna be the most fun match to watch tonight
there's gonna be bodies flying all over that stadium and then I'll tell you what I've seen the entrance
way and it looks pretty awesome that does I gotta I can't wait to see it in all of its splendor
then we come to this
21 and 1 the undertaker Bray Wyatt Bray Wyatt did spring his ankle in warmups this morning but he should be okay to go
here's my thing on this match because I heard this uh court bower from MLW
was on Stone Cold's podcast on Tuesday and he puts forth a really interesting theory
do you have undertaker win this match so he's now 22 and 1 or do you have him do the job and
now he's on a losing streak that goes into WrestleMania 32 where he gets the win back in retires
Steven I kind of think he's gonna lose tonight I agree I hope he loses I've been so beat down
of undertakers since he went like 17 but I agree I think it'll be interesting and then
that's when you can have him come out on Raw the next night is like I give up I lose and then of course
Sting is like I'm sure he's supposed to be like this great supernatural being
well face me because I just beat your uh WWE flag holder in your CO Triple H and then you know you
could set that up but I just want everybody to think about what Steven just said for a minute yeah
the match we've waited our entire adult lives for could happen in our backyard I just I want
to wrap their brain around it if that's not poetic justice for me in this life I do not know
what is this the only match I always wanted to see Chad the only thing that concerns me is
brave with his ankle with this with this proposed storyline working of of him dropping this
match because he's got to carry this match I've seen pictures of no bra's got to carry this
match but he can't now with the bad ankle well but I've seen pictures of taker in in Santa
Clara he's in good shape but we said that last year about him and God he got gas in that match with
Lesnar because he was with Lesnar and Lesnar is like the most cautious wrestler of
yeah but Lesnar also carry that match too done I'm I like your theory but I'm going with taker
I just I'm looking forward to his entrance that's my main thing with taker I just want to see what
the entrance is going to be a lot of really cool entrances this year from what I've
reading about like the blue blizzard of course easy so what's that of course that was my brief
heel turn um because it was like that came out of my mouth and I'm like wait a minute that's not right
I'm playing this song on this day
G-Rub who are you picking in this match sting and triple H I'm saying sting and WrestleMania in the same
sentence I'll pick a Tyson kid um Tom Jones this match I if I can't get sting undertaker
I'm okay with this match I loved have we ever booked something with Les that's good that's got
this much height behind it probably not I just don't think that there's any way sting does the
job in this I know I can't fathom it's even I think sting wins and I think it's going to be a
squash actually yeah there's just nothing that says this match is going to be good do you think
that maybe there's a swirl before hand where they make it a no disqualification match they're
going to do that try to make it appealing but I triple H said he was gasped in like two days of practice
or walkthroughs so that makes me wonder I this match is probably gonna be a squash I just I
say he's gonna get involved in interfere and cause all kinds of friggin distress even then it's
still gonna be like oh well I'm staying let me pull the bat out of my butt cheeks and then yeah
I'll be fine and just be chill both and call the day and then you set up for what really matters next year
Chad I'll come on if I don't make any sense of my client Chad picks Tyson
I am a free agent sir I have never been nor I ever will have ever be your client done
I like the shenanigans thing um because you gotta remember I don't think that'll happen because
what was sting's last match that he ever wrestled Bobby Ripper no the greatest man no
43
match with everybody in her dog in a match by twin brother happened Ethan Carter the third the winner is gonna be
state and then we get to the main event
WWE world heavyweight champion chip on the line is it there he's winning
Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns
this the booking on this seems to be going
everywhere this is insane
um
the odds changes soon as he recites boom boom boom the odds yeah
it's one of those deals
I don't
I don't want Lesnar to win this match I don't like having my champion on television once a quarter
but all signs would point to him winning this match right now because he recigned
Vince seems to think he's the only one that can carry the company right now for some dollar
I just I don't know done I
play in simple I think Reigns wins the title I think Reigns cash is in but I don't know
Reigns wins I think if if Reigns wins Reigns cash is in yeah yeah because that's the
few but regardless I think Reigns cash is in tonight no matter who wins through some
shenanigans but Reigns wins the title Steven
I'm gonna give this 110% to the man out in the green room Brian but I like the
stereotype you know he tried heyman tries to turn on Lesnar and it does it work
we've heard rumors of a face turn yeah well it does it it does it work that heyman's
trying to turn on Lesnar and Lesnar catches it and then so Lesnar still beating the
crap out of uh Roman Reigns and then heyman calls in backup rock comes out this is this is
there's everything off rock comes out rock bottoms Lesnar says I want what's mine and goes
after Lesnar for next year and he could you know he could help his cousin and then that
sets it up and then it just kind of brushes Roman Reigns out of the picture completely for a
little bit because you have something going on and then of course for us little little
Roman Reigns will finally have a mouthpiece and I don't have to hear him talk anymore Chad so
you're saying that he does win this title or he doesn't win this title I hope he doesn't I want
Lesnar to win 110% but I think yeah I'm going with Lesnar I'm picking I'm picking Lesnar
I would pick I would pick Lesnar for the main reason that there was such a negative backlash
for Roman Reigns winning the rumble there was such a negative response in that ground you
forget what what the plans were last year of Batista and all that fell through real hard
well that when those booze started coming out just got texts from Scott at the ally buddy
hey we're listening thanks for listening in but thank you sir we'd love to see if you can
make it out come on over so you also a more of our friends from ally that are watching I saw
posted earlier today our friend Ashley from ally she's also throw in her own role so they were
at Ruslamania Arizona a couple years ago really five years ago Arizona was that what's that 26
27 in Arizona yeah she had pictures up on Facebook today she was there
I had no idea all right boys you know how we wrapped this thing up
as the card stands right now before we watch it Chad great the card
it's hovering between a B plus and an A minus this is a darn good card
Don for a regular pay per view this is an A but for WrestleMania I was going to say a C but
with all the stuff changing wow but with all the stuff changing now and all the unpredictability
I'm going to give it a B plus for a WrestleMania Steven C C plus
Did you have any of things here do we get to watch cartoons we're gonna put you that
of a battle we need to yay and it's A plus for me right now this is a I wouldn't say solid but
very high A minus border lining on A because I I've said many of her paper abuse in general
I've said this for weeks now I cannot tell you the last time I was this excited for WrestleMania
tell me I'm not just because it's thing because it is but
because this card as a whole is so strong right now
if I've learned anything from being with you guys for several years and multiple
WrestleMania's and stuff don't grade it don't no just don't every year we set up for something positive
remember last WrestleMania in our two years ago too don't grade it I'm so like ready for this
I'm more ready for this WrestleMania than I've been in so long and the fact that we all
get to watch it together on the WWE network for 999 we know there's members of the empire that are
