we are live 364 days a year what are we doing here if Dom turns at Summerslam I’m shaving my mustache off i told you if that happens it’s going my lip is cold because of a stupid bet that I made for YouTube wrestle’s better than Daniel brian Brian Daniel better than [Music] Good evening from Swansea wrestling fans i’m your host Ben and Allison and you are watching Wrestling Republic’s daily broadcast today it’s mailbag Monday and we are answering your mail and your hot takes it’s going to be a really exciting show and for an exciting show I need an exciting panel let’s kick things off over on the west coast of the US we have Clark Taylor how are you today Clark i’m here it’s not quite the dead of summer like it is over on the east coast so I apologize i’m still wearing a hoodie it’s nice and delightful here in SoCal but I’m excited it’s mailbag Monday and we’ve got mail we just got a letter shout out Blues Clues shout out everybody that sent in their submissions can’t wait to get into it ben Wes Numero on Superfly we’ve not got any other Blues Clue stuff in the chat we need those in here but also joining us we have Dez how are you today Dez i’m doing good Ben thank you guys so much for having me on here when I heard we were doing Mailbag I instantly thought of Blues Clues so I’m pretty I’m glad you guys got that reference i was like “We just got a letter we just got a letter.” We got takes instead and I wonder who it’s from but let’s get right to it oh you hit I wonder who it’s from i was like “I missed it in mine.” Yes yeah that was the next one the fact that I still don’t know what this blues clues is right but it’s been referenced every week on this show just makes me feel like I’m the show’s biggest fan at this point magenta numero one is in the chat he is here he is doing well uh and Lotus Flowerbomb 87 says “We just got a letter wonder who it’s from as well over on Instagram.” Fernando says “Happy mailbag Monday WR crew.” And I make beats says “Good evening gents.” Good evening to you as well i make beats without further ado let me pull out the mailbag and open it up because the first hot take is from at the real som 2 who says Seth Rollins doesn’t need Paul Heymon he feels kind of useless when Seph can cut an amazing f an amazing promo it actually does say photo there but I think he means promo what is your thoughts on this out of the gates i find this one kind of interesting because I get where you’re coming from i hear I hear you but at the end of the day did did Tom Brady need Randy Moss no but they set the single season touchdowns record right so does he need him yeah if we’re going to get real specific here probably not seth can talk on his own and and whatnot i even think Roman proved he could talk on his own too brock has been over Sans Heymon since Heymon turned on him with Big Show till he ended up back in his corner i think CM Punk can talk as well as anybody he’s been a guy over the years did he need him maybe no did it help maybe a little so that’s where my head’s at i If I mean did Jordan need Scotty Pippen i don’t know they won six titles right like it it’s okay to have a a teammate there i I get where you’re coming from but it’s it’s too round of about a thing for me to be like “Well then where So what do you mean so should we not use Heymon or just specifically only use him on Breaker or how do we do this i’m cool with it i’m cool with the way it’s been organized i like the group a lot and again sometimes dream teams win titles so I’m fine with that yeah I mean I’m going to be honest Clark i do agree with you because I agree with this comment that Seth Rollins does not need Paul Heyaymon but this faction needs Paul Heymon seth Rollings teaming up with Bronson Reed and Bron Breaker without the involvement of Paul Haymon wouldn’t really make much sense and numero on tub of lily saying the alignment between Sev and Paul is working well paul is helping to elevate Seph’s faction particularly more for Braun Breaker and long-term I do think that’s who he’s going to really benefit and I make beats compliments me thank you very much I make beats as well but Dez what about you what’s your thoughts on this situation i’m in agreement with you guys i 100% agree honestly you could really tie this lawn to Seth Rollins winning Money in the Bank he doesn’t need money in the bank but it just helps him become more of a bigger threat paul Heymon doesn’t need Seth Rollins he didn’t need CM Punk but having him there and makes it more of a bigger deal and Paul Heyaymon does his best work when he’s with the top heel in the company which is why I get from a microphone standpoint and a promo standpoint Seth doesn’t need him you’re right he’s great on the mic but in terms of character work I definitely feel like it would help yeah I I am in agreement with you on that one as well the atomic mer is in the comments saying “We back hey y’all hope you are well.” Karen A says “I agree with Ben heymon is there to elevate Breaker and bring legitimacy to the group as a whole and Fernando Zia says MJ would have won six championships with any sidekick i do love that i’m an MJ guy anyway so I’d like to give him all the credit over Pippen i’m cool with that fernando much much respect you know that Chicago guy i got my Dino shirt on too shout out Chicago just a part says yo my peeps shout out to you as well but I do just want to quickly touch upon this for a second because Clark you said so far you have been a fan of this faction yes but like some people are saying it’s kind of getting a little bit stale these attacks every week and we still don’t fully know why Bronson rejoined them why Bron Breaker joined them do we need all the answers a bit quicker than we are currently getting them you know there are certain types of people and certain types of groups that walk into a room and people start you know twiddling their thumbs and shuffling their feet palms get a little bit of sweaty you know like that’s what this group is they bother people it’s a heel faction i’m cool with it i don’t think it’s getting stale it’s getting annoying isn’t Isn’t that heel work too at the end of the day that’s true it I wouldn’t say it’s stale it’s still moving people emotionally whether that’s positive or negative that’s a different conversation I feel like Ben but it is still moving people in the moment right i’m totally cool with it i really really really really like the idea of Seth sort of still being the cowardly heel he still won’t do it he’s the beast slayer this guy’s beat all the big ones and we know that but he’s got us convinced that he’s having his handyman do all the work for him right and he’s the carpenter i mean to your point Clark about you know it being good heel work a few weeks ago they were being cheered in every venue they were in in every single building i criticized that what did they do yeah what did they do they had them beat down successfully the faces every single week people were like “Well no way is Seph now going to win money in the bank or they’ll just be shoving them down our throats.” Guess what they did they had Seph win money in the bank i complimented that decision at the time because guess what suddenly we are booing them suddenly we are getting just a little bit sick of them it works just the part says Heymon with Rollins is being boxed weirdly they need to put more into this i will say we do need more of an explanation but hopefully we will get it down the line uh the atomic mer says agreed as well and Nathan Branco saying Breaker low key is the next Batista oh I see it he’s a lot younger than Batista was i see it though i see it i see it too i I don’t hate that comment in the least now it it doesn’t have to be the perfect comparison right like as you mentioned the age gap but as far as his role within this in relation to like an evolution type thing sure cuz you could almost call Paul Heymon the non-wrestling flare in this if you’re really trying to do it i wouldn’t call Bronson Reed i wouldn’t call Bronson Reed Randy Orton so that that’s where the comparison ends i think Randy Orton’s Bron Breaker we’re not getting straight out of the comparison we’re not getting straight out see I think it’s Batista because I think uh wise it’s going to be faster no I age wise more than anything well the age thing yeah I know i know about your age it’s just my I think he’s more like like two years older than Batista was i honestly think flip it randy Orton the young talent is Bron Breaker the older guy who’s underrated is Bronson Reed see I don’t think there is an Orton in this group is the difference that’s where Right that’s where the argument is we’re not even really arguing cuz we have very similar opinions here right i but I don’t think there is this group and I don’t think it’s a direct comparison that’s the only thing I’d say man you know what I mean because there is also another factor in this too in terms of I still think there is a fourth man and I don’t know who that will be i hope lost in theory it’s as I like to say Ben though it’s similar but not the same and I agree with you i do think there’s a fourth if it’s theory then now we have a conversation and I can stop doing push-ups too because I have now done over a hundred push-up i was gonna say though you’re looking yolked Ben maybe you should be doing more do you know I Well somebody suggested I do another one each day but here’s the issue with that i do fear this could go into like another 200 300 days not do that many push-ups a day jeez that’s what you ought to start doing is is you do 10 to get them out of the way early and then you only post every few days if it starts to get ugly down the road you just do an actual set one day and you’re like “All right I’m covered through Smackdown next week.” Like oh my what I actually might do is and if I do this I’ll have to start tomorrow i might do every 10 I add one more on so that way after 20 I’m on 12 after 30 I’m on 30 i think maybe I’ll do that uh instead I basically on Tik Tok the fitness community went off at me my form was not good enough you know what that’s just not guys sent me a video like telling me what to do and to be fair it was helpful thank you they’re not out here telling them how to do push-ups and they’re not out here telling us how to talk about wrestling let it go let it go let it go oh my gosh uh what do you say Daz i was going to say one thing I want to add too about Rollins because you’re saying that we’re not there yet i feel like there’s one factor which is why we don’t have a lot more story with Seth it’s John Cena once John Cena retires that is when the main focus is going to be on Seth’s faction true especially during Wrestlemania 42 i firmly believe that i firmly believe that uh raving ninja says “If you keep doing one more per day your body will adjust.” Yeah but I can’t not even just timewise i don’t have the time in my day to do 300 push-ups and that could be where we get to this continuous you could do Yeah no but I’m saying if I do an extra one each day oh don’t do that then it’s going to it could get to like 500 that’s not what I’m suggesting every seven days you only promised one a day people are just asking for too much that’s not even about you 10 a day 10 a day they’re asking for too much uh but I mean we do also I will very quickly acknowledge the elephant in the chat which quite a few people are talking about night of champions of course with everything going on right now there’s a comment here from Christopherlair which is simply untrue it has not been moved wwe are still yet to comment on it or make any changes all that I can say is as of now we know it is still going ahead anything can change we aren’t experts and we’re not in the WWE so we can’t tell you anything on that but up next we need to go to the next hot take because this one is from regular viewer of the show Coach 23 who says and this is a big claim mind you he’s saying AEW is hot for only the niche audience in ring action is not the answer to their issues clark you’re a big AEW guy i want to hear your thoughts on this take um coach great friend of the show um I’m going to let you in on a little secret here pro wrestling is a niche as a market so if this is a niche inside of a niche it’s niche nicheception it’s not it’s AEW yes it is a challenger brand that’s not debatable they are definitively in second place at best depending on your opinion there but they are a challenger brand they can compete financially they’re on network television they do sell pay-per-views in the United States and they run arenas in the same cities the WWE does for niche audiences i This is all for a niche audience all of pro wrestling is for a niche audience so is New Japan so is every promotion you’ve ever seen so I I don’t think that that’s even a problem because guess what that niche audience does they watch TNT and TBS there’s various shows on there i don’t know if you remember when TNT We Know Drama right they still had comedies on air there that would be a niche audience compared to the ones looking for we no drama if I’m correct me if I’m wrong there right you don’t go to the movie theater buy a ticket to a comedy movie show up and it turns out to be a horror movie and leave happy that’s not what the deal is on AW they’re giving you professional wrestling so yes professional wrestling as a whole is a niche i would say yes but AEW is only for niche audiences that’s you’re you’re grasping at straws and I I I disagree it’s professional wrestling the same way we get it every other way it’s already for a niche audience here’s the thing I’ll say on this right Clark if we split this hot take into two parts I actually agree with the first part and I agree with you as well saying pro wrestling is a niche aw is a niche now I will say for WWE’se’s audience pro wrestling fans as a whole I do think AEW does cater to the more hardcore fans and that is because I don’t think necessarily casuals or you know kind of people who don’t watch regularly are going to necessarily be that interested in you know eightman tags with just really good wrestling but not too much story and stuff like that but that isn’t a bad thing because do you know the one thing which is consistent in any genre about hardcore fans they pay more money so if you are getting them to pay their money and they are still happy then that is a good thing and that is clearly what AEW’s plan and their business plan has been from day one it was obvious they started off a YouTube show called Being the Elite it was always meant to be for the hardcore of the hardcore and that is not a bad thing as long as the hardcore are interested if you look at what’s been spent marketing wise cuz that’d be the only way to flip that narrative you’re not going to flip it necessarily on screen no matter what i understand there’s booking things like you said the multi-person matches and whatnot storylines and stuff that is a that’s another factor but marketing to the casual fan is different advertising wise they’ve marketed to as many people as you could almost ask they absolutely you’re getting AEW commercials during NBA games NHL games throughout the last few years in airports even yes they’ve done a heck of a job when it comes to that and that that part of it is what makes AEW the challenger brand that they are they’re not going to just pass WWE out out of the gates and the public perception scale will slide all the time but the fact that we have a competitor is so big lyft pushed Uber when Lift became more convenient Uber had to come up with new stuff right when Uber came out with all the now you can do the comfort the black car the right the SUV you can do almost whatever you want right lyft had to react do the same thing they went the opposite with the mustache and the pink branding whereas you had the clean and the black and white branding from Uber it’s very similar in this regard i do feel like it’s something that just plays out over time not in the short term so to sit back and be overly critical of bad stretches right we could do that with WWE over the last 30 years either in a bad stretch both are so good and I love the comment for Fernando wrestling is subjective 100% that’s where I’m like I don’t think I don’t think AEW is any more niche than pro wrestling already is that’s my opinion on that oh I disagree on that i mean their slogan as Tony Khan now says is AEW is for the sickos i mean it is arguing at the targeting a little more the hardcore or sickos as he likes to call them but there’s a comment here I’m gonna have to go off at raving Ninja saying they don’t draw more money from these fans tickets go for peanuts and loads are left most of the time and hardly make bank from merch make you always know when you say make bank they’re a big financial guy firstly I can actually confirm the last sentence for you they make a boatload of cash from merchandise boatload of cash now could they make more i think they could again they never sold Pent and Phoenix masks that was a missed opportunity but they make a ton of uh bank as you put it from merch etc uh they also like ticket prices they’re not peanuts they are just more affordable but they still you know they’re not like they’re not giving them away for free just handing them out like right and most their venues since they have moved to slightly smaller ones have still sold out they are still doing fine to be able to go around the country and around multiple countries actually and sell what 5,000 tickets every week that’s I mean that shows you clearly got an audience if you’re doing that in every uh show so I I don’t have an issue with that and I make beats I think does say it perfectly and a lot of people have said this aew has a lot more of a mix of styles wwe is just their style aew in my opinion is the mixing pot of professional wrestling i’ve said that before as well it is just it’s for the sickos and it almost is a love letter to professional wrestling and I think that is fully sustainable as long as you are keeping those sickos happy but talking about keeping us happy could you guys do us a huge favor and go and

undercard for exclusive videos clips and more go and subscribe right up next let’s get into the next hot take shall we because this one is from and it’s a big one AB Desa T Horab who says and this is a massive hot take Austin theory has the potential to be better than Roman Reigns and honestly I don’t disagree with this hot take i really don’t because I think Austin Theory is better than Roman Reigns was at Austin Theory’s age so I can’t sit here and confidently tell you he doesn’t have the potential to be better than Roman Reigns would I bet on it no but I do think it is entirely possible he is massively underutilized i do think his time is going to come and I think we are going to see a Cody Rhodess or a Drew McIntyre with Austin Theory where maybe he at first doesn’t reach that potential but long term he does dez I want to get your thoughts on this see when I saw this take I had a lot of things in mind because you say Theory could be better than Roman are you saying terms of better wrestling sure because Roman has a lot more slower pace wrestling and Theory is somebody who has more of a not faster pace wrestling but he can be uh he has more moves in his move set let’s say are you saying that he’s better in box office better in character better on Mike for that maybe but then again I I really think Roman is like one of the most box office superstars that WWE has ever had that’s been somebody that WWE has been wanting to be the top guy for over a decade and they hadn’t succeeded because they wanted him to be a good guy and the fans rejected him and then once he finally went into his heel persona became the tribal chief that’s when fans really started to be behind him so I guess you could say the fans are more behind Theory now than they were Roman Reigns but Roman Reigns got so many more opportunities than Austin Theory has austin Theory right now is struggling to get minutes on television which is a shame because I like Austin Theory it’s not dig at him but it’s just it’s just the way it is right now roman is somebody who’s not in the company and he’s still as big as ever i’ve said this multiple times and you can clip this if you want if anybody is going to be better than Roman Reigns in the next few years let’s say 10 right i’m 35 years old i’m dealing with back pain it’s going to be Ronn Breaker i firmly believe this i think Bronn Breaker will be talked about in the same extent as Stone Cold Steve Austin John Cena The Rock Hulk Hogan and Roman Reigns and any other big superstar from the past he has the look he has Paul Heymon on his pad he’s only going to get better the mic he could probably get better like in the next few years but if he has Paul Heymon there he’ll be fine he’s an unbelievable wrestler everybody likes the guy super energetic unbelievably fast super charismatic as well so for me I think this guy will be main eventing multiple Wrestlemania in the future and he will be at the same level as Roman Reigns or better oh wow wow big take indeed we got a couple of comments I want to get to here we got numero one superfly saying since a town down under has teased the split jacob Vat who has debuted became US champion and turned on solo i’ll be reincarnated twice as an egg and they’ll still be teasing a split they need a split yes agreed on that karen A says Theory is definitely underutilized and is a great seller that being said no one can compare to Roman the character is gold but was his character gold at Theory’s age no it wasn’t no there’s a difference there is a difference here Ben okay roman Reigns is a 6 foot6 super athlete a walking hundred million dollar check austin Theory is is a heck of a performer and a heck of a talent i do believe that his potential is high and his youth and experience at this age is amazing they just do not make specimens like Roman Reigns that doesn’t happen that’s the difference now there’s been poor booking on both sides austin Theory has been put in difficult situations ask about John Cena right um we teased the split all of that right they’ve both been in bad positions early in their career can Theory overcome it too yes but Roman was even when Roman was at his lowest it felt undeniable i go back to the wreck everyone and leave that you’re just a freaking mask rest in peace you’re just a freak in a mask and as soon as that happened it was like “Oh no this is the Roman we always wanted that was before they even showed Hmon when we got the run.” That type of work on top of what So if we’re talking about both potential yes it’s close but because of the work that Roman put in when it did click which is what we would have to get from theory we don’t know couldn’t be that way we don’t know yet exactly that’s what follow me follow follow along here okay because Roman did click i’m less inclined to be like could be better maybe as good as I could be better i could be proven wrong in the future there’s a lot of time as you have you as you’ve mentioned you do love age if in 10 years though you and I are having this conversation about theories getting a bit old someone clip this that’s all I’m saying oh my gosh raving Ninja says just wait for theory the longer it takes for him to get the main event run the better it will work i mean I do think they need to start utilizing or let him do something else but I do think it’s going to come the atomic mer is agreeing with you Clark thank you Clark on that one i make beat says don’t think theory would be bigger than Roman but he could be a main event easily you never know because I’m saying this right a lot of people are saying Cody’s a bigger star than Roman Reigns a lot of people have been saying that recently and those people are wrong um but if you’re making that argument Austin theory 1,000% could be as big as Cody he could be maybe could i think he could i don’t know he’s as athletic he’s I mean honestly you are you coming to my side cody’s not that good of an athlete no I’m not saying that at all i’m a big Cody guy but I’m saying theory does have that potential i I think it’s entirely because people are forgetting Roman Reigns did not have it at all he was so bland he was so boring at a dog match screw it i’ll say this i’ll say this right roman Reigns was more bland than Austin Theory was when Theory was 20 when Roman Reigns was 30 i mean come on when Roman Reigns was 20 he was an all-American SEC football player that’s I said when 30 right but when he was in his 20s he’s playing division one football that’s not fair theory started the point is Theory has improved character-wise and he’s gotten a lot more charisma faster than Roman Reigns did i cannot sit here and say that he cannot reach that level when he has shown signs that he can if given that opportunity if he gets a character change and the opportunities that Roman Reigns has or the opportunities which Cody or a Drew eventually got I think it’s possible i think it’s possible i don’t think it’s probable well and I like to gamble i don’t know well actually I want to ask you guys this so I’ve said Roman changed WWE right and I think he’s bigger than Cody but Cody changed wrestling so really who had the biggest change cuz you can say Cody didn’t change wrestling he did because we have AEW now cody 100% cody is 1,000% the biggest change i agree he actually had a knock on effect which will change this industry forever i mean even Clark I think can agree with that cody compared to as far as changing the industry yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay that it’s a very nuanced conversation you have to bite your tongue but it’s But no I would say I would say that’s probably the truth because of the AEW and all more than Yeah exactly it’s I would even give McIntyre some credit for reigniting the independent scene early as well too not to Cody or Roman’s extent but my point is bringing back around the Challenger brand seeing people succeed outside of WWE for about a decade before AEW finally came along was as big of a factor as anything cody was the poster child for that right nice crediting Mark McIntyre for that to be honest with you he didn’t I 100% agree no he had nothing to do with Allin but he did he rebuilt himself and the cup he did but he mean my point my point in shouting out McIntyre is he created the avenue back to WWE okay true on that avenue back that it is possible to rebuild rebrand and come back and right it’s not the end of the world when you leave that started with McIntyre cody made it even larger than that and also during the time basically gave you a nice little mattress to land on called AEW yeah right like a nice soft mattress but we do have a couple of comments i’m going to quickly read the Tomic Mer says Cody broke the fourth wall with his return definitely a needle mover not the game changer uh Shard says Roman made WWE feel like the attitude era again i don’t know if you could Roman the cool factor with Roman shod is correct about I think that might even be a generational thing being a bit older roman had a cool factor and obviously you know I’ve dog Cody forever i do truly respect him and think he’s amazing right but when it comes to Sorry my bad speaking of breaking I’m breaking the fourth wall anyway um no but Michael Cabana hi hey I’m breaking the fourth wall but no I I think I think Cody’s awesome the cool factor with Roman is a big deal to me because it was the And that’s where when Shod saying like the attitude era right even as a heel the cool factor I was drawn to Roman it’s not that I right it just but we do need to move on to the main event topic because Clark you’re talking about wrestling being cool there is somebody who wants to ruin wrestling and that is the premise of John Cena’s heel turn and this final hot take is from DMV Marv who says John Cena’s heel run is very mid and you can’t change my mind now Dez I’m going to go to on this one first what is your thoughts well I guess it’s more so of what were your expectations right were you expecting great matches were you expecting great stories were you expecting a nostalgia trip were you expecting a different John Cena it’s a very subjective opinion because what you think is mid might not be what anybody else thinks is mid it’s just because of what you want to get out of it in my opinion when I heard that John Cena was going to have his retirement tour in my head I’m like “Oh we’re going to go for guys like CL Punk Randy Orton we’re going to go for probably like LA Knight we’re probably going to go for Cody Rhodess like the big names and the nostalgic names.” When Cena turned heel I think it even opened the door more for that because now that John Cena is a heel it makes the match even bigger for these baby faces like the Punks like the Randy’s like the Cody’s like the Jay’s because if Cena was a face then it’s just kind of like okay you know he’s a good guy he’s a good guy it’s fine now that you’re making him a heel it makes him more interesting now if you’re saying the whole character of him ruining wrestling is mid then yeah I’d say it is you know I when we look back in this probably a few years from now we’re going to have the thought that Travis Scott is the reason why John Cena is never seen 17 so I understand why that might be kind of a uh a uh turnoff in a way but I guess like I said it just ultimately depends on what you think is mid and what you want to expect out of it when we look at when we look back at this in a few years the biggest question is going to be like was this the right choice and to that it’s ultimately up to you i still feel like we still got a lot of ways to go before we can ultimately come up with a decision but at the end of the day it’s really up to you what you think is made yeah i mean that is a good point my personal perspective my perspective so far on this John Cena heel turn has been yes he hasn’t explained it very well yes he doesn’t really make full sense yes at times it kind of does feel like he’s acting but do I think this is more interesting than whatever the hell he would be doing if he was still a baby face yes i have a confession to make if I’m being completely honest part of me was dreading this John Cena retirement tour why well because John Cena’s past two runs when he’s come back and returned he’s kind of just felt like a shadow of his former self like he’s playing himself at least this is something different no it’s not fivestar matches but no I don’t think it needs to be am I entertained on a weekly basis yes so quite frankly so far I do think it’s been more good than bad despite the fact there have been some flaws clark what’s your take so I really like to agree with Dez and we do often but I completely agree with what Dez just said i don’t like agreeing with you i like to try to argue but I unfortunately also agree with what you just said Ben that’s the toughest part about this for me because the truth is I mean this is the best booked Cena run we’ve had in 15 years like what if we were gonna get Super Cena i love all of you guys this is so great i’m so happy to be here and watch me overcome all these obstacles he’s overcome obstacles for like 20 years i’m tired of it what else does he have to do what do you mean the guy’s won the belt a million times we’ve seen it a thousand times million thousand a million thousand times we’ve seen John Cena be like the he can’t do it and then he can do it oh my goodness no this is better this is I’m going to put it in your face now and I’m going to do it and that’s the point that’s the point this is real pro wrestling john Cena is a real pro wrestler and one of the best to ever do it there’s no debate about that what I love about this is it’s different he’s showing that he did have range which we all knew he had because we go back to the evolution of what made John Cena John Cena and everything before he’s doing it again on his last tour it’s awesome all the t-shirts will still sell all of that but it’s not even about that this is about showing what he’s actually capable of and being different is the smartest thing John Cena has done on this whole run if there’s one hole in the narrative it’s why’ The Rock just go back away but who cares that it it’s too late now it’s January was 6 months ago my friends when we right like it was a long time ago you know um we’re not going to get The Rock involved in this that’s not going to happen it would have overshadowed John Cena’s retirement tour anyway i’m more inclined to talk about that one as being an issue with the Cena run than anything John’s done he teased it at the Rumble he did it at Chamber i get the complaints about that main event match there are I was there i remember but at Mania awesome at Money in the Bank awesome on the pipe bomb awesome everywhere else in people’s heads not giving people what they want in the perfect pro wrestling way he’s as good of a heel as anybody going right this second and that’s just the truth pun intended it’s all I’m saying and that’s a great point as well because Garrett Sari says far from mid he created a real life character in wrong killings i mean obviously a lot of things involved in that but that story line I mean Clark me and you are both saying it was fun going into it originally uh Karen agrees well agrees with the hottake saying that she’s been disappointed with John Cena’s heel run so far it’s just not convincing but Shard agrees with us the atomic mer says being a Cena super fan they have to agree with me the last two to three returns have completely flot this heel run is a breath of fresh air and the rock needs to stay away agreeing with you there uh I have to agree fernando says Clark is cooking and Garrett says just like the final stingun in AW Cena will not lose oo I disagree with that one i feel like must lose right do it don’t lose has to do it don’t lose i think so mr take it away take our toys away take No take our toys away nobody likes being grounded take the toys away do it Cena i just hope Rey Mysterio doesn’t fight for the championship again on Raw we already saw how that went poor guy oh gosh yeah this time CM Punk will squash and that’s what’s going to happen they’ll just regret the story completely uh but I had to shake that out there he made me nervous i mean imagine Clark’s reaction if it’s Cody versus CM at Wrestlemania honestly but that does bring us guys to the end of the show it has been a fun one thank you to everybody in the comments you guys make this show what it is we really appreciate you guys tuning in every day and we will be back tomorrow same time same place to talk more professional wrestling thank you to Clark thank you to Dez and
