We've already had a show pretty much before we before we jumped on here. That that pre show talk was, was a show in itself.

Frank Dee:Brother, it's just you know, I I I changed, with the time. So right now right now until I I find something else, it's just, you know, it's Frank d. But yes No gimmick. The the the fabulous one himself, no gimmicks needed, Frank d. Yep.
Frank Dee:I'm I'm hearing the theme song one more time.
Blak Makk:That that is me. You wanna you wanna hear it again?
Frank Dee:Well, listen. It again. Well, listen. It's it's a dope song. It's a dope track, but we got some stuff we gotta talk about tonight.
Frank Dee:WrestleMania. 40, supposedly the biggest WrestleMania of all time. I don't know about that, but some big things happen.
Blak Makk:Man. We'll see.
Frank Dee:Some some big things happen, man. We we had, you know, we had a we had a monumental interview this week.
Blak Makk:We did. We did.
Frank Dee:We have the the Disney proxy vote that happened today. Yep. You know? So
Blak Makk:That was let's talk about that for a minute. Yeah. Let's talk about that for a minute. We got some time.
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:So the shareholders are letting their voices be known. They did not like Disney's picks.
Frank Dee:Because everything Bob Iger said was a bunch of bullshit is what it was. You know? First of all, you have to look at the situation like I do. Okay? And first of all, I wanna give a a shout out to where I get all of my information.
Frank Dee:That parkplace.com. Alright? And the pro channel, w w d w pro on YouTube. Stay up to date with everything that's happening right now with Disney Yeah. And Nelson Poston.
Frank Dee:Everything was going down. And all point of the of the the proxy battle was for, you know, Nelson Pelson was trying to get, you know, 2 board seats on the Disney board to try to turn Disney back to Providence, you know, instead of what they are right now, which is a company that is losing a lot more money than what they're bringing in. And, you know, he Bob Iger, this guy, like, he was running for reelection or some shit. And this was just about a board seat. You know what I'm saying?
Frank Dee:But he promised a bunch of stuff. That's not gonna happen, and Wall Street's responding to it. They were not happy at all with the way this vote went down. And the Disney shareholders that voted for the board. Well, now you feel dumb that you did that because Yep.
Frank Dee:None of the projects that Iger talked about are gonna happen. Then on top of that, when the when the the shareholders meeting was going on, Bob Iger would not take any live call and questions. All the questions were probably prescreened as some shit they came up with, and it was done with an AI voice. And I'm not even sure that was even Bob Iger that was talking. I'm pretty sure it was AI as well.
Frank Dee:It's just a very weird situation, and the and the the stock is is tanking. And you would think on their biggest day, a big proxy battle like this, you would think that the the shares and all that would have gone up. You know? The price of stock would be going up, but it's not. So that's just very interesting to me.
Blak Makk:Yeah. That was interesting. That was that was an interesting thing, but I don't know, man. We'll see we'll see what happens because that was that was a very interesting move. So I'm I'm I'm gonna be glued to see what they're doing next because that's gonna affect a lot of stuff.
Blak Makk:So a lot of stuff. So that that's that was
Frank Dee:interesting to see. I mean, you know, I mean, just just look at the the situation here of of all the franchises that Disney has destroyed. Look at how they've killed Star Wars. Okay? I mean, I mean, let's just be I'm a Star Wars fanatic.
Frank Dee:This shit is dead. They're they're just dead. Alright? You you have the the the Skywalker saga being replayed in movie theaters in only 15 fucking theaters in the whole United States. Because nobody Get away with it.
Frank Dee:No one wants to touch it.
Blak Makk:Can't get away with it.
Frank Dee:The only the only movie they have playing locally to me is episode 1 defense and menace with a little sneak peek of the acolyte, which I don't give a shit about that show. So I'm like, I can do 1 or 2 things. I can either go to the movie theater, okay, and watch the Phantom Menace in theaters, which I didn't do at 1999 when it came out because I wasn't a fan. I could do that. Mhmm.
Frank Dee:Or I could just put up my projection screen and watch it come from my own home and watch all the movies on my screen, and I think that's a way better option. And at the same time, I'm not giving Disney any fucking money. So I think I might go I think I might go that route.
Blak Makk:Well, I hey. It's your money. You do with it what you want.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Fucked up the church's money. You're doing it what y'all want. Yeah. But it's like but it but it's so ridiculous.
Frank Dee:You know? They they destroyed Star Wars. They destroyed Indiana Jones. I mean, they they've destroyed so much shit. Just killed it.
Blak Makk:Hey, man. You gotta let let them live. Let them live. Who knows? Hey.
Blak Makk:Let's It might surprise you.
Frank Dee:I'm a I'm not a Disney shareholder yet, but I I plan on it. And and then I'm like, the bottom line of it is you guys suck.
Blak Makk:Yeah. It it helps if, I vote it because I own Disney shares. So
Frank Dee:Listen. You're you're fucking 2 shares on account.
Blak Makk:Bullshit. Bullshit.
Frank Dee:Your marks. You're not you're not you're you're not any of the big fucking investment companies like JPMorgan Chase and Whatever. And all these other ones that voter fraud.
Blak Makk:Voice counts.
Frank Dee:I don't stop. Your voice is like these nuts. I
Blak Makk:Hey. They wouldn't give me a valid if if my shit didn't count.
Frank Dee:Oh, shut up, you, Mark.
Blak Makk:But let's get into these mania pics, man. We got 2 days of mania. Night 1 is a very interesting night because the end of night 1 leads us in the night 2. But let's let's do this because it looks like we're gonna get a kickoff show. And if I had to guess, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee versus Santos Escobar and Dominic Mysterio are going to open up that WrestleMania kickoff show.
Blak Makk:So they they've actually been telling a a a pretty decent story the past couple of weeks with this. Pretty much Santos Escobar. You know him and Dom had history before in which, Dom ended up turning on his dad. Santos was like, you're right. And Ray is teaming up with Dragon Lee, who is the newest member of the LWO, and they're facing those 2, what you got?
Frank Dee:I I think that's that's a hard pick for me, honestly, because Dragon Lee just came to the main roster. Yep. By the same time, you're you're trying to push Santos here. Dominic definitely needs the win because he did get the win last year at Mania. So I'm gonna go with Santos and Dom.
Frank Dee:I think I think they're they need to win more at this point.
Blak Makk:Okay. Okay. We got some guys in the chat. What up, Casey? What up, Jeff?
Blak Makk:And, Casey saying judgment day is gonna break up on mania. I kinda agree with this. I do think this will end up, I think we might get a turn here in this match. But I think it's gonna be dragging Lee turning on Ray Mysterio and aligning himself with Santos Escobar. I think that's gonna happen.
Frank Dee:See, you know, I'm a tell you why I think that's a bad idea. Because how many more years is Rey Mysterio have left?
Blak Makk:He ain't got a lot.
Frank Dee:So you would need someone there as an apprentice that can take Rey Mysterio's place, and that would be Dragon League. So I wouldn't turn Dragon Lee. You gotta let the WWE Universe get to know who Dragon Lee is before you make that kind of a an emotional move, which would be him turning heel. So I wouldn't do it personally. There's not there's not been a story build for that to happen.
Frank Dee:So I would wait on it, you know, Do it online.
Blak Makk:Jeff seems to agree. He said Dragon Lee's gonna turn, and he is Russia's brother. Oh, Andrade is already there. But I I am I don't know, man. It just to me, it seems like it's too good of, of an idea to bring him in.
Blak Makk:Right? You brought him in as a member of the LWO. Why? If if your if your intent is to actually be a master type of master apprentice type of relationship, it almost seems like you gotta split from the LWO yourself, which
Frank Dee:Well
Blak Makk:we we already have this thing with Ray. He don't even need to be there. You know what I'm saying? So
Frank Dee:Why why okay. So why is the OWO even there in the first place?
Blak Makk:I have no idea.
Frank Dee:See, I don't understand why they brought it back to begin with when, you know, here's that history lesson again, folks. When Ray Merciero was in the WCW where the LWO originally came from, he didn't wanna be in the faction. So when they brought the OWO back, I always thought Dominic Masseria should have been the one that resurrected because he's essentially trying to be any anyways with the mullet and shit. Yep. So it would have made sense for Dominic to resurrect the LWO.
Frank Dee:That's what I would have done. And Dominic and if you break the judgment day up, technically, that could still happen because Yeah. Dominic could could turn, and Dominic could lead the OWI at this point.
Blak Makk:This is this is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying. So I'm I'm thinking I'm thinking something's gonna be afoot here to where this may actually be the case where Dom Dom and Santos probably rekick start the LWO as a hell faction, which would be awesome.
Frank Dee:I mean yeah. But you you got you know? I don't know. I just I just think it's too late. L l w o I said this last week.
Frank Dee:L w o had their peak at at WrestleMania Backlash last year in in, Puerto Rico. That's when it had its peak. When Bad Bunny was there and all that, that's when you have the peak of the faction. You got Carlito there, and you ain't doing shit with Carlito. And then you give us some trash music at that.
Frank Dee:You know what I mean? It's not the same.
Blak Makk:I agree with you. I agree with you. But I'm thinking something may be afoot, but I'm gonna pick, Dom and and Santos to win this match.
Frank Dee:Same as me. Okay.
Blak Makk:Alright. Alright. Then next up, we got Bianca Belair, Naomi, Jade, Cargill making her WrestleMania debut, going up against damage control. This one's almost a layup, bro. It's not Yeah.
Blak Makk:You you you
Frank Dee:already know pretty much that damage control is is doing the JOB here.
Blak Makk:Oh my goodness, bro. And Jade's making her, her debut. Yeah. I think she's gonna get the pin, honestly.
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:And if I had have anybody take that pin, probably Dakota Kai.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because this all match, honestly, is gonna be around protecting Jade
Blak Makk:Yes.
Frank Dee:At all costs to, you know, to she's in there with experienced workers. So it is gonna be protecting her, you know, highlighting her her strengths. Yep. And not showing any of the weaknesses. Exactly.
Frank Dee:So I'm Now I
Blak Makk:I am curious. I am curious to how far they let her go. Like, how much ring time are you giving her in this match?
Frank Dee:I I I would keep it I would keep it short, honestly.
Blak Makk:Yeah. Short, sweet. Does. Yeah. You have you have you have, Bianca in there who's a good worker.
Blak Makk:You also have Trinity, who's a Naomi, who's a who's a good worker as well.
Frank Dee:You got people that can carry that match.
Blak Makk:Yeah. They can do the leg work for you.
Frank Dee:Yeah. And and you're looking to get the hot tag, and you just go on there and do some power moves, whatever she'll know what she could do. Absolutely. Pretty much it. So I'm I'm going here with with with Jade, with Jade, Bianca, and, Naomi.
Blak Makk:Absolutely. I'm with you there. And in the chat, we got, Jeff says team Jade. KC says automatic, and he's picking EO to take the pin, which I could see that happening too. So but, yeah, actually, it's it's Kyrie.
Blak Makk:I'm sorry. Kyrie Kyrie will take the pin. Alright. Then next up, we got the 6 pack ladder match for the undisputed WWE tag team championships. And here's a caveat.
Blak Makk:The Michael Cole alluded to the fact that these may actually be split up. So we may get something to where both titles are hanging. One team takes one set of titles, and another team takes another set of titles. So here's what I'm saying. Here here's my pitch.
Frank Dee:Well, a lot of shows who the teams are first.
Blak Makk:Alright. So we have the judgment day, Damian Priest and Finn Balor, awesome truth, DIY, new day, New Cash Republic, which is Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, and 8 Town Down Under, which is the team of Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
Frank Dee:I damn. That's I'm not very excited about any of those teams, to be honest with you. But if I had to pick 1, it it would be Grayson Waller and and Austin Theory to to win because it would be the team that you wouldn't think would win.
Blak Makk:Right. Now if we get into a if we get into a a a 2 belt situation, I my pick would be judgment day retains overall. But if we get into a 2 belt situation to where they actually split these things up, then my pick would be Awesome Truth and Atown Down Under.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because one team would have the belts on raw. The other team would have the belts on SmackDown. So that that makes perfect sense. So I'll go with you on that with the slam possibility of judgment day retained.
Frank Dee:But I would also like to see at this point, Priest and and Finn Bauer kinda go on their own.
Blak Makk:I think I think this is the the the safest way to get the titles off of him to where Damian Priest actually looks he he doesn't look weak in this situation. I think this is the safest route because he is the money in the bank, and I do think that he will have an impact on WrestleMania.
Frank Dee:He possibly could or WrestleMania Backlash is where I think he could strike his
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:It has to be before money in the bank, but I think so. But those are my picks. And then next, we have Jimmy versus Jay, yeet versus no yeet, brother versus brother. The 15 year tradition continues at WrestleMania. Your pick, sir.
Frank Dee:Damn, man. See, this was a match when this is gonna, like this is really sucks because I I just there's just nothing to this match for me. Like, there's no there's no heat to this at all. You know what I mean? And we talked about this last week that Jay the the office should happen back in August.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:You know what I mean? So I I you know, something I I'm I'm seeing the comments here, and I do agree at some point, Jacob Fatou and Tom Latanya will come in, but it won't be in this match.
Blak Makk:Not in this match. No.
Frank Dee:Not in this match. I think it's gonna have it's gonna do something with night 2.
Blak Makk:Yep. We'll get to that.
Frank Dee:But for this match here, I I gotta go with Jay. I because, and I'll tell you the reason why real quick. Okay. Storyline standpoint, you cost me the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. You also cost me the Intercontinental Championship.
Frank Dee:So I owe you a good ass over. So if it's made with you, I'm on I'm gonna get mine. Because it's not like we it's not like the same situation here with, say, with Brett Hart wrestle Owen Hart, and then later on in the night, Brett Hart became the WWE champion. Right. It's not the same situation.
Blak Makk:No. It's not.
Frank Dee:And that story there, that was a good story they told, and and it started in November at survivor series. Right. And then it culminated at the Royal Rumble when they lost the tag belts, and then they wrestle their WrestleMania 10.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:That's why I said before that this story has been dragged out and has been there's see. And at the time too, when the when the Hart situation was going on, there was no brand split. You know what I'm saying? So they were on the same shows. Right.
Frank Dee:That played a big part in the reason why there's been really no buildup for this match. It could've been a whole lot more exciting than what they're giving us.
Blak Makk:I agree. I agree. This could've been built up very well, and I I'm I'm with you. They started way too early. SummerSlam was way too early to start this.
Blak Makk:They had started it at at survivor series, let it cook. This would have been this probably would have stole the show.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Now you wanna talk about somebody interfering in this match, it will probably be Solo because he is her brother.
Blak Makk:I would agree with that too.
Frank Dee:Yeah. So I can see it's solo interfering.
Blak Makk:For for shits and giggles, I would I would love to see them just do a straight up one up match.
Frank Dee:For shits and giggles. Yes.
Blak Makk:Yes. A
Frank Dee:straight up one up match. Yeah. It's going there because they're all brothers.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:We gotta figure out how to be getting involved or
Blak Makk:something. Right.
Frank Dee:You know what I'm saying? That's that's, you know, that's what it is.
Blak Makk:Probably get Rakisha involved in this shit.
Frank Dee:As I said to you, get Rakisha
Blak Makk:out Yep. I I I know shenanigans are gonna happen in this match just because they want it to. Yeah.
Frank Dee:And Rakisha even did an interview where Rakisha said that he would love the ending of the match to be them 2 shaking hands and pretty much the the feud ending right there. That's what we will love for for that to happen. Right. Because, I mean, a lot of people want the 2 brothers to go back together anyways. And And JL being split, Yeah.
Frank Dee:Them being split has really hurt the tag division if they lost.
Blak Makk:You are right. You are right about that. You are right about that. Now I do wanna see them end it. I do think Jimmy's gonna win this match, though.
Blak Makk:Jimmy needs it more than Jay.
Frank Dee:Well, you know what they say. The the last person to go over on TV usually loses. And if we remember what happened on Monday Night Raw, The Rock beat Jay Uso's ass. So
Blak Makk:You're right. You're right. You're right. Which Cody got his ass whooped too. Seth did too.
Blak Makk:Alright. Let's keep going. Let's keep going. That that's that's that's interesting. Next match, Gunther, the intercontinental champion versus Sami Zayn.
Frank Dee:You mean Gunther versus Rocky Balboa. Right? Yep. That's that's what I got from that.
Blak Makk:City of Philly.
Frank Dee:That's what I got from that that whole thing with him and, Chad Gable. Yep.
Blak Makk:That's
Frank Dee:what I'm getting from it. So I believe that Gunther is gonna retain.
Blak Makk:Oh, you think so?
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:Okay.
Frank Dee:He has to retain. Because, I mean okay. So if you beat Gunther, where do you where do you go after that? Like, it's a double standard. We could bet we we could break Gunther's championship reign, but we can't break Romans.
Blak Makk:Hey, man. Listen. We'll get to that in a minute.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I know what you're saying.
Blak Makk:We'll get to that in a minute. But I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. And then the chat, we got, Gable turns on Sammy, for sure. I think he drops it and wins it again in Berlin.
Blak Makk:I think you know what? I'm gonna agree with you, man. I think he I think he picks this up. I think he retains. I think he retains, and I think he holds it past Berlin.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I mean, why would why would what make the point the the sense of him dropping the championship
Blak Makk:You have to. And listen, man. For what Gunk has done for that championship, like, the fact that it's even it's not a clown championship anymore. And him holding it and defending it at mania actually, it it means something. More so more so than any other of the secondary titles.
Frank Dee:Yeah. He and he has he has brought it back to be in the workforce championship.
Blak Makk:Yep. If you ask me if you ask me this match this match is I'm gonna say number 3 on mania. It's it's match 3. Well, 4 because you got you got the 2 main events, then the the world heavyweight championship, and I would say this one. That it's number 4.
Blak Makk:So which is better than, we don't really care about this one. You could put this one in the ladder match, and it won't mean shit. But straight up 1 on 1 for the title, it actually means a lot more in this scenario. But I do I'm I'm gonna pick Gunther to retain. And then moving on to the co main event of night number 1, Rhea Ripley Rhea Ripley versus Becky Lynch.
Frank Dee:So that's a tough one.
Blak Makk:This is a tough one.
Frank Dee:That's a tough one.
Blak Makk:This is a tough one.
Frank Dee:Because, you know, Becky's on a a a a book push right now. Yep. So to me, it makes more sense for her to get the championship at this point. So I'm a go with Becky Lynch on this one.
Blak Makk:Yeah. I'm gonna go Rhea. I'm gonna go Rhea, and I think we get a heel Becky out of it.
Frank Dee:Yeah. See, but here's the thing, dude. Like, they they already did that. Big time Becks. We already saw that.
Frank Dee:So now we're not we're we're we're retrading now. We already saw that. I know. I know. Don't sell books.
Blak Makk:This is true. This is true. Which it makes me if you lift if you listen to what Becky has been saying about Rhea, it's almost in the Brett Hart sense to where I represent all that's good And what I've been trying to fight against and bring this company to, it just it doesn't sound like it's more real. It's not it's not the man. It's not big time Becks.
Blak Makk:It's this is I believe what that what I'm fighting for is right. And I believe what I'm trying to bring the women's division to is right. And I believe everything that you're doing is setting us back, which is why I'm thinking Ria's gonna retain. And why I'm thinking out of that, we're gonna get a very pissed off Becky.
Frank Dee:It would make more sense. And, honestly, it would make more sense for for Ria to drop the championship because that adds further intrigue to the judgment day split. Because now they don't look as dominant and powerful anymore. Because Rhea Ripley is de facto the leader of the judgment day.
Blak Makk:This is true.
Frank Dee:So if she loses that championship, now we're gonna see, okay. You are not what we thought you were.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:You know? And Dom and and let's just say Dominic loses his match. And then Priest and and Ben and Finn Balor lose all the judgment they lose. You know what I'm saying?
Blak Makk:So there's
Frank Dee:a story to be told there That shit
Blak Makk:If they if they start dropping the titles Yeah.
Frank Dee:We need to drop. Maybe we are splitting up this faction now because, I mean, shit.
Blak Makk:All of them are on for night 1 too, by the way.
Frank Dee:Yeah. JD Madone can't get away and save his life. Nope. So you know what I mean? I mean, he's the resident jobber of the company.
Frank Dee:Yeah. You know? So I'm like to stay.
Blak Makk:I like that.
Frank Dee:There's no there's no upswing in this. So I'm I'm going with Becky Lynch. Just just seeing this, basically, the story they're trying to tell. And on top of that, we've already seen the heel, Becky. Just like nobody wants to see a heel Seth Rollins in this way.
Frank Dee:It's just we've seen that. Give us something new.
Blak Makk:Yeah. But are we really sold on on Seth Rollins in in his current form? I'm not. I'm sorry.
Frank Dee:We'll we'll we'll get to that.
Blak Makk:We'll get to them. We'll we'll get to them. But we got a we got a comment from TK's Coke dealer, Becky, but not for a long run.
Frank Dee:TK's Coke dealer. What what the hell? Oh my god.
Blak Makk:Maybe Becky wins it and then loses it back to Ria backlash. They'd have a fire extreme matchup. Extreme rules is gonna be a thing this year. I don't know. I doubt that, but I don't know.
Blak Makk:I I'm I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with Rio. I'm gonna stick with Rio.
Frank Dee:No. I'm just having a homeboy's name.
Blak Makk:I know.
Frank Dee:I know.
Blak Makk:I saw it and was like try not to
Frank Dee:pop. Oh my gosh.
Blak Makk:It's because it's true. Stop. Alright, man. The one we came to see, The Rock and Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, main eventing night 1. The floor is yours.
Frank Dee:So you got this tag match, the biggest tag match of all time. You got Hollywood Rock, the final boss, Roman Reigns. Then you got Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, for it's either bloodline rules, which means anything goes, anybody can interfere at rest rest of me at night too. Shit. I'm I'm stumped on this one, and I like that.
Frank Dee:I I like the fact that I'm stumped because I don't know where this goes. Right? I don't know if The Rock is gonna get in this match here and doesn't get injured 5 minutes in.
Blak Makk:You don't know shit. Saying? That's great. It's great.
Frank Dee:I I I don't know. They've they've been teasing this bloodline rules shit. So that would be a story in itself that Cody has to do all this stuff to defeat the odds of the bloodline. Mhmm. Run the gauntlet pretty much for the bloodline.
Frank Dee:So I would say that The Rock and Roman would get the win here. But doing how wrestling and booking works, I'm probably gonna go with Seth Rollins and and Cody. I'll go with
Blak Makk:that one. The pin and that shit, though.
Frank Dee:Shit. Seth. Or well, I mean, Seth would would would I mean, damn. Because you can't I mean Who's taking the bet? Is an impossible situation here because you've got the world heavyweight champion.
Frank Dee:You got the number one contender in Royal Rumble winner. You got the universal champion, and you got the rahoos, the final boss. Yes. That's that's like
Blak Makk:Who's taking the pin? And this
Frank Dee:is That's a that's a Hulk Hogan, that doesn't work for me, brother, type of situation. Yeah. You know, you this is like a bash the beast 2,000 all over again.
Blak Makk:Bro, The Rock has been looking ultra strong the entire time he's been back.
Frank Dee:You're a Tony Khan's coke dealer here that that The Rock is the only one who really doesn't need the because I mean, because because The Rock when WrestleMania is over, The Rock is gonna go out to Hollywood because he has to go do some damn movies he's gotta go on before the strikes, you know, happen. So shit. I don't know, dude. Some some I don't know, man. I you know what?
Frank Dee:I'm changing my vote. I I I'm I'm thinking Rock and Roman are are gonna win this match. I'm thinking Seth Rollins is taking the pin. Yeah. I think it's I think it's gonna be Bloodline Rules at WrestleMania because that's the only way you can involve, you know, a Tomatanga or Jacob Patu.
Blak Makk:I I struggle with this one. I actually struggle with this one. What what kills me is that Seth and Drew are night 2. That's what throws me off. So the fact that they're both everybody that besides The Rock, is wrestling on night 2.
Blak Makk:So my brain wants to say Cody and Seth are gonna win this, and The Rock is gonna take the pin.
Frank Dee:That would make sense because that would lead to The Rock getting revenge. Night 2. Night 2. Okay? But there is also the slight possibility of what I've been predicting all of his time that Cody could turn heel.
Frank Dee:Yes. So his soul to the devil to become the world champion, and then that's the the Roman Reigns redemption story at that point would begin of him going face.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:Which is ultimate goal in the first place was for Roman to go baby face eventually, Be the face of the
Blak Makk:top man. We talked before this show, and I said I said that Roman documentary that they pushed out this week makes it hard for me to to not like Roman. Sympathetically, I am I am a Roman Reigns fan after watching that documentary. It's hard for me to hate him, But it also makes sense that if if you are going to try to make this guy the top baby face, you've already pulled the linchpin. You've already pulled it.
Frank Dee:I guess we'll find out on Saturday at night 1.
Blak Makk:We'll see. We'll see. So right now, my get my my prediction is rock Roman lose night 1, and we get a straight up match night 2.
Frank Dee:But remember, we got straight up match at night 2 last year. We did. All that interference.
Blak Makk:We did.
Frank Dee:So I'm picking Roman and The Rock to win, and his bloodline rules.
Blak Makk:Alright. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna stick with my pick. I'm gonna stick with my pick.
Frank Dee:I'm a take my pick too.
Blak Makk:Alright. But for for for the sake of of of of chaos, we'll say we'll we'll talk about your pick. Because mine is kinda bland anyway in which I think I think Cody does turn night too in a straight up match. The Rock comes down, gets his revenge, kinda, but we end up getting a turn out of it.
Frank Dee:Yeah. The Rock gets his revenge. But who does the Rock get his revenge on?
Blak Makk:Roman.
Frank Dee:Right. Who's the bloodline go after? Roman. Roman. And it would may so it it would tell such a good story because he inducted Paul into the into the hall of fame.
Frank Dee:Yep. The wise man
Blak Makk:and Bro, everything is there for this guy to not be hated. Yeah. Everything is there for him to not be hated.
Frank Dee:I've been predicting it for 4 months here on this podcast, so we'll see what happens.
Blak Makk:We'll see.
Frank Dee:If they if if they give us the set wrong and certainly, I'm like, okay. Well, this is why I'm watching shit. Because it's the same it's the same story. But I'm I'm predicting here a WrestleMania 17 situation again with Steve Austin and mister McMahon. That's why I'm predicting There were
Blak Makk:cards on the table, man. Yeah.
Frank Dee:Cody Cody had on you know, like, Cody went down that route before of trying to do things the right way and trying to become a world champion the right way. He got fucked over. Yep. So what do you do about that? This time, I'm gonna I'm I have to finish the story.
Frank Dee:My mom is gonna be there. Mama Rose is gonna be there. Yep. Could you imagine at the if if he turns heel and they zoomed the camera in on his mom, and she's like, what the hell? You
Blak Makk:know what he said today? He said his whole family's gonna be there. Does that include Dustin?
Frank Dee:Okay. But, I mean, Dustin could be there, but Dustin's still under AEW contract. So
Blak Makk:What what if he gets clearance?
Frank Dee:But why would they clear
Blak Makk:I don't know.
Frank Dee:What business does that make? What's because Tony's a nice guy. Not involving these AEW people on the show.
Blak Makk:Because Tony's a nice he's a nice guy.
Frank Dee:But I don't wanna do that, though. Just Tony Conn's, Tony Conn's Coke dealer. Is he gonna let him to show up?
Blak Makk:Pay him. Pay the man.
Frank Dee:Hey, Tony Khan's coat dealer. When you see Tony Khan, let us know.
Blak Makk:It's wild. That is the wildest name ever. Thank you for stopping by, by the way.
Frank Dee:No. No. Look what his no. Put up his comment. He just put it right now.
Blak Makk:What? Co deterrence Hill and the lines with Paul Heyman?
Frank Dee:We've been saying it for months.
Blak Makk:Yep. Yeah. Yeah. We've we've been saying that. We've been saying this.
Blak Makk:But I think I think I think this is actually gonna happen. I think it's actually gonna happen, and people are going to be pissed off about it.
Frank Dee:Yeah. And they have opportunity here. Like I've been saying on this show for months, you could recreate, won't be on the same level, but you can you have opportunity to recreate Hogan 96 Yeah. You do. Bitch.
Frank Dee:You do. With Cody. Because Cody everybody loves Cody some reason.
Blak Makk:Exactly. But that's why everybody is like, no. It don't make sense for him to do it because he's so popular right now. Fuck that. Turn them.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because because Turn them. Look at look at how Cody was being treated in AEW Yeah. When he was out there doing his name as Zach Schtick. It was a I've been saying this a while.
Frank Dee:Cody is a heel. He just don't
Blak Makk:do it. Exactly.
Frank Dee:When I think about American Nightmare, that's a heel.
Blak Makk:Exactly. Go look at his when when you can, go look at his interview today. And something stuck out to me during this interview. Cody was almost exactly like he was this time around last year. The demeanor, everything.
Blak Makk:And it's like he's it's almost like he's, like, trying to not give away too much. But even that in itself, I'm like, yo. I I've I've seen how you was this time last year. You're almost like that, but you're a little more relaxed. And it's almost like he's trying to stay how he was and not give away too much.
Blak Makk:But I looking at that interview, I'm like, Cody is going to turn. He is going to turn. Night 2.
Frank Dee:That'll make the most sense to me. A set Rollins heel turn wouldn't work. Just Nope. We've already saw that. It it just it wouldn't work.
Frank Dee:A Cody roll till turn would work because look how Seth Rollins has been really fighting for Cody. I mean, this dude got his ass beat for Cody. He got beat with a a fucking weight belt. I mean, that beat down on Monday, that was like some old Hollywood Hogan NWO shit.
Blak Makk:Oh, yeah, buddy. With
Frank Dee:that with that weight belt.
Blak Makk:Yeah. That's what that
Frank Dee:that's what that was to me. Yeah. You know what I mean? So you doing all this and all of a sudden, you turn out to be with this mother? Like, really?
Frank Dee:Yep. That's that's what we're doing now. And now Cody comes out and it's not the same. It's not the same. You know?
Frank Dee:Now you see he's the truly the American Nightmare. That's what I wanna see. I wanna see the real American Nightmare. I wanna see Bullet Club.
Blak Makk:So The shit will be boss as fuck. Yeah.
Frank Dee:If it happens. What I wanna see.
Blak Makk:Yeah. If it if it happens, it's gonna be boss.
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:And it's gonna be he's gonna lean all the way into it.
Frank Dee:Because I remember what he said. What Seth Rollins says, I will be your shield. Okay? Right there.
Blak Makk:Everything has a purpose.
Frank Dee:Right. So Roman has been fighting with with Seth. He's been fighting with Jay. All these different baby faces that he has been terrorizing, now you're gonna have to align with these dudes because now The Rock is second away your bloodline. He's second away, you know, Solo and Jimmy and your wise man.
Frank Dee:They all I mean, these you're the tribal chief, but this is the final boss the final boss. Yep. And he said, I'm gonna make sure told us that wrong. I'm gonna make sure your title goes away. So you have the Drew McIntyre thing in the back because Drew McIntyre was talking to the wise man.
Blak Makk:Yep. So
Frank Dee:you got a lot of different stories going there. But let's go ahead and do night 2.
Blak Makk:Yep. Let's do night 2. 1st match on the card on night 2 is Bobby Lashley and the street prophets versus the final testament, which is carrying across in the odds of pain. This is probably another preshow match. Duh.
Blak Makk:I'm gonna pick bro Bobby Lashley and the 3 prophets.
Frank Dee:You talking about squandered, man.
Blak Makk:Bro.
Frank Dee:You talking about squandered. Right? Like, the 3 prophets and Bobby Lashley. Is beef absolute with them? Yes.
Frank Dee:Okay. You talking about squandered. Like, Street Profits as heels was working.
Blak Makk:Yes.
Frank Dee:You know what I mean?
Blak Makk:They didn't stick with it.
Frank Dee:No. This is just They didn't stick with it. Now they're called the pride. Like, we're just some Lion King shit. I don't know what the hell they're doing.
Frank Dee:So I I don't really care about this match. I'll be honest with you. So what's a dud for me?
Blak Makk:That's what I said. It's probably another preshow, which leads us into l LA Knight versus AJ Styles.
Frank Dee:I'm a go with my boy AJ Styles.
Blak Makk:Everybody's picking AJ. Shout out to BCP Plus. They picked AJ. I'm picking I'm picking LA Knight.
Frank Dee:Oh, and I don't have to ball better anymore yet. He don't.
Blak Makk:And I said this too. I said this too. The Rock coming back was the worst fucking thing to happen in LA.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because when you have somebody out there cosplaying, yes, and then Oh, it's and then the real guy shows up.
Blak Makk:It killed his momentum, man.
Frank Dee:It killed momentum was killed when the moment he lost to Roman. That's why his momentum was killed.
Blak Makk:Not too.
Frank Dee:You know, but, I mean, this ain't helping it. Nope. No. I don't know. Just, you know, AJ versus LA night, the battle of TNA.
Blak Makk:Yep. 2 former champions just like, TK's Coke dealer said. 2 former TNA champions. Jeff says Knight needs, the momentum, but damn, Hill AJ is fire, which I agree with. Hill AJ has been on the
Frank Dee:I could see also with with this match here. I can see possible interference from Gallows and Anderson.
Blak Makk:Oh, I like that.
Frank Dee:Yeah. They'll finally come around to see in AJ's way. Yep. I like that. Which you need another hill faction?
Blak Makk:You do. You actually do. You should go back to being Eli Drake.
Frank Dee:Dude, I've been saying what is LA night since he came out there, and that got off of music he comes out to.
Blak Makk:That's awesome. So who are you picking? You picking AJ?
Frank Dee:I got AJ South.
Blak Makk:Right. I'll pick LA. I'll pick LA. And then we move into a United States triple threat, Logan Paul versus Randy Orton versus Kevin Owens.
Frank Dee:I wanna see Randy Orton win this match.
Blak Makk:I do too, actually.
Frank Dee:I'm picking Orton.
Blak Makk:I I picked Orton, and I'm gonna stay with Orton. I I like I like Orton in this situation. Yeah. I like Orton in this situation. And I like that he could probably bring that title to some some prominence.
Blak Makk:If he holds it a while, there's some there's some stuff to get into to with him. So I think you could build off of that. I I like I like him.
Frank Dee:Yes. I'm I'm picking the word.
Blak Makk:Yeah. Me too. Me too. And then the chat, we got, Jeff says, unfortunately, I think Paul retains, and I hate it.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I'm not a Logan Paul guy. I'm just I'm I'm not.
Blak Makk:I'm not a Logan Paul guy either, although I respect what he does in the ring. I I'm not a Logan Paul guy at all, but I respect what he does. I just for this match, I would love to see Randy Orton come out of it as champion.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because that's the title Randy Orton's ever held.
Blak Makk:Right. Right. So give it to me. Give me what I want. Alright.
Blak Makk:Then we're going to the women's championship, WWE women's championship, EO Sky versus Bayley.
Frank Dee:I'm picking Bayley. Yep. Taylor made story for Bailey. Yep.
Blak Makk:Yep. They've they've done great work with this one too. It it's getting overshadowed by all the other shit that's going on, but I I like this story. I do. I really do.
Frank Dee:I'm I'm picking up for that one. Yep.
Blak Makk:The world heavyweight championship, Seth Rollins versus Drew McIntyre, co main event. Night 2 is we're we're getting we're getting strong vibes night 2. Night 2 is strong. It starts off shit, but it it's gonna pick up. But Drew versus Seth, the floor is yours, sir.
Frank Dee:I am going to pick Drew McIntyre to become the world heavyweight champion. We also have to put in the Centimeters Punk effects because he will be on commentary ringside. Yep. So who knows if he is going to interfere in the match or not? But I think that Drew is going to beat Seth because Seth is gonna be too banged up from night 1.
Blak Makk:We have we do have to keep that into account. We do have to keep that into account. Oh, man. On the back end, that that night 1 is crazy on the back end because the effect that it'll have on night 2.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Oh, man. I'm I'm I'm going I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty good with with Drew even though Drew hasn't resigned. So let's say, you know, let's say, come up with something and say, oh, he he has you know, he's resigned the contract. Even still, give Drew McIntyre his moment.
Frank Dee:I mean, he won the championship during the pandemic. No fans were there. So that's one of his big things is is to win that championship with fans. I think he deserves it. I think he deserves that best spot.
Blak Makk:I'm gonna say Drew. And now that you you made me aware that Seth probably will be banged up from night 1. Oh, fuck, man. Oh, this is tough. Give me here's what I want.
Blak Makk:Give me Seth retaining, then give me a pissed off Drew beating up on Seth. He's already banged up. Somehow, he gets through this match. Like TK's coke dealer said, he still has partially torn MCL. Give me an angle to where Drew hurts him, then give me Damien Priest to cash in.
Frank Dee:But that's through heels.
Blak Makk:You're talking about you're talking about Damien Priest cashing in?
Frank Dee:Yeah. Because you're because, basically, if you I mean well okay. I hear what you're saying. You're saying, basically, you said Rollins beats Drew, and then he
Blak Makk:Seth beats Drew. Yeah. Drew beats down Seth.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Cash. I mean, that could be a way to do it, but then at the same time, it's fucking Damian Priest has no momentum. You suck in the tag team championships. He's basically pushing it back.
Frank Dee:This is true. But So when you do a money in the bank cash in, it has to mean something. When Seth Rollins cashed in the money in the bank briefcase, doing the match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, it meant something because, I mean, he was a successful cashier. Seth had earlier in the night, Seth lost the IC. The what was he lost no.
Frank Dee:He lost some match to, Randy Org earlier tonight.
Blak Makk:Didn't we call for for Damien Priest to drop the tag titles?
Frank Dee:Yeah. But that don't mean you gotta cash in for the world title. I mean, you could shit. You can come out there on, like, Monday night raw and cash that shit in.
Blak Makk:Would it mean more on Monday Night Raw?
Frank Dee:Oh, yeah. Because it's the biggest everybody because it's the biggest raw after mania. You wanna have a a situation where, hey. You wanna repeat a dog's ignorant moment. Cash that shit in.
Frank Dee:You don't have to do it at mania.
Blak Makk:I'm just giving you
Frank Dee:a too much. You're giving too much. You already you already potentially got a tag title change, then you have the the women's title title's probably changing. So you'll be given too much, like, way too much. Every title's gonna change hands at WrestleMania?
Frank Dee:Nah. But we gotta say something for Raw. I'm willing to concede that,
Blak Makk:but then where does that leave the last match? Because the last match is definitely up in the air, and that's Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes.
Frank Dee:Well So
Blak Makk:what are you saying? You're saying you're saying Drew you're saying you're picking Drew. Yep. So that's the title change.
Frank Dee:Because we're gonna we're gonna get to the main event.
Blak Makk:So you're picking Drew, title change. Yep. Bailey, title change. Yep. Logan, title change.
Frank Dee:Yep.
Blak Makk:There's only one result for for the main event then.
Frank Dee:The snow
Blak Makk:room in retaining.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I mean, why the hell not at this point? They've been going all this time. I just But
Blak Makk:you picked enrollment to retain?
Frank Dee:I'm just look. In a perfect in a perfect world of of booking this shit, in a story that I would tell, it would be Cody turning a heel and selling his soul to the devil to get the championship. But in the WWE's business, their business is Roman Reigns retaining the title and continuing to beat the record, which ain't really breaking the record.
Blak Makk:I know that.
Frank Dee:It's not the same championship that Sam Martino held and Hogan and Morales and Bach and Bob Bachman and superstar Billy Graham Hall is it's not the same belt.
Blak Makk:I know.
Frank Dee:So it, I mean, it doesn't matter.
Blak Makk:So you're picking Roman or retain?
Frank Dee:I mean, I don't dude, okay. You know, the the hell with this. I'm I'm I'm picking I'm picking Cody.
Blak Makk:Oh, shit. You're picking Cody.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I I'm 7 I have a sneak suspicion here that that they're gonna go down the road, I'm saying. And if they don't, if they don't, I'll I'll drink a Diet Pepsi.
Blak Makk:I get your Diet Pepsi ready. I'm picking Roman. I'm gonna pick Roman. Bro, that documentary swayed me. It did.
Blak Makk:It did. It absolutely did.
Frank Dee:Yeah. But I do auction assuaged you too.
Blak Makk:It did. But Yeah. They waited. They here's the thing. They fucking waited until WrestleMania week to give me this shit in which oh, no.
Blak Makk:No. Okay. Hold on. So I don't wanna I don't wanna flip. I don't wanna flip, but I might have to.
Blak Makk:Because that Cody documentary gave us, It led us here, bro. It led us here. And the whole premise behind this shit is like, for everybody everybody, if you haven't watched this documentary, why please watch this documentary before WrestleMania. Watch both of them Because I walked out I got took away from Romans. Like, he's about to be the most beloved person in the WWE.
Blak Makk:And I took from Cody's a theory that led me to hear is this man is just biding his time. He's still pissed off about the dusty road shit and how it seemed like his dad held all the people that's up high now, which is Roman Reigns, Seth Freaking Rollins, Sami Zayn, like, all these people that are on this card known as Dusty's kids, he's been pissed off at them. And if you notice, he's kept all of them close, bro. He's been he's been a tag champ with one of them. He's been he's been helping out Sami Zayn.
Blak Makk:He's teaming with Seth Rollins night 1. He's going up against Roman night 2, and Roman is arguably the biggest dusty kid. And that documentary told me a lot without without even telling me, like, I'm planning to go after all of them. And it just seemed like some Anakin Skywalker shit. That's how I developed the theory.
Blak Makk:Like, this motherfucker is Anakin Skywalker, bro. He's lost too much.
Frank Dee:Well, fuck it. First of all, that was my theory, bitch.
Blak Makk:No. We came up with this shit together. Take my shit. No. No.
Blak Makk:We came up with this shit together.
Frank Dee:You wanna hear the archives what I was talking about, picture Go back. Nope. And go look at who's Don't don't look at the footage. Your saying of Cody Rhodes. Footage.
Frank Dee:It was the fabulous one.
Blak Makk:No. It was me. Okay. It was me. And I did it with a question.
Blak Makk:I did it with a question. I asked the question, but we came up with this shit together. But this is what I'm saying. It is it the story's there, man. It's there.
Blak Makk:It's there.
Frank Dee:So what do you got?
Blak Makk:I'm gonna have to flip my pick, man. I'm gonna have to go Cody. And for everybody listening, for everybody watching, prepare yourselves. If you are a Cody Rhodes fan, you need to prepare yourself. He's about to break your fucking hearts.
Frank Dee:Yep. And I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it. I'm gonna
Blak Makk:Remember, you heard it here first. Prepare yourself for heartbreak. Cody is about to turn heel.
Frank Dee:And if it doesn't happen, we'll erase this recording.
Blak Makk:You never heard it. But if it happens,
Frank Dee:you heard it here first. Guess we'll see what happens in the rest of my day.
Blak Makk:We'll see. We'll see. I man, there's no way he just does this shit cleanly. There's no way.
Frank Dee:No. I do expect some interference here.
Blak Makk:There's gonna be some
Frank Dee:And and this goes into you know, if if it is a straight up match and they say, okay. Everybody from the bloodline's barring from ring and stop interfering. Let's just say that Seth and Cody win on on night 1. This is where you then enter Jacob 52 and Tom Atanga into the mix. Or you can enter AJ Styles into the mix.
Frank Dee:Or you can enter Anderson Gallows into the mix. Now what is AJ Styles, Anderson and Gallows, Finn Balor, and Cody Rhodes have in common? They were all part of Build
Blak Makk:A Club.
Frank Dee:Yeah. Yep. So you could build a new faction just off of that. But you can't obviously and we brought this stuff out before. Yeah.
Frank Dee:You can't call it Bullock Club. Right. You obviously what's the next best thing you can do? What's another piece of intellectual property that they own?
Blak Makk:NWO.
Frank Dee:Yeah. You can go that route.
Blak Makk:Yeah. I I'm with that. But, I
Frank Dee:mean, Tony, I mean, Tony says a nightmare club, and I'm like, man, I I think the club I I think we're I think we're done with the clubs.
Blak Makk:Yeah. I think so.
Frank Dee:I thought the the the clubs are played out.
Blak Makk:Oh, man. I haven't seen any predictions for this one. I think everybody's just along for the ride at this point. People people have been quiet on this one.
Frank Dee:Yes. That's kinda what it is. But I I do see I do see a possible hill turn coming. If they they don't do it, then I'm like, okay. Well, this has been cool with fancy booking and shit.
Frank Dee:And, you know, we're seeing the end of the podcast because
Blak Makk:We'll still be here. We'll still be here, but we'll, we'll have to change the tune. But, no, this has been it we've been fantasy booking this shit for months, man. Yeah. And up until up I would say up until last week, everything tracked.
Blak Makk:It's just last week they've decided to flip some shit.
Frank Dee:Yeah. And it's just the the the Rock beating them down. The whole just the beat down took place on Monday with the belt. I'm just like, you know, Seth being the sympathetic character and just sticking up for Cody like he is, it's just it makes it's just a perfect storm for Cody to say, fuck you, dude. Dusty's kid, my ass.
Frank Dee:You and him. You know? I'm Dusty's kid. I'm Dusty's real kid. Yep.
Frank Dee:And I'm with the final boss.
Blak Makk:What he said in the documentary.
Frank Dee:And the wise man's with me. Yep. He's my wise man now. Yep. You know?
Frank Dee:And and Roman goes back to basically being a hybrid of the big dog and the tribal chief.
Blak Makk:What I'm what I'm most looking forward to is Monday. Because depending on what happens Sunday oh, man. Monday is gonna be insane.
Frank Dee:That's what I'm saying. It's gonna be probably the biggest it's gonna be the biggest
Blak Makk:same. It's
Frank Dee:gonna be the biggest raw of the year that they're gonna let us down with.
Blak Makk:I I wanna see what happens. Oh, I'm I'm
Frank Dee:listen. I'm intrigued to see the way this story plays out. Yeah. I'm intrigued to see a story. I just hope they don't screw it
Blak Makk:up. I hope so too. Yeah. Just whatever you got planned, may please make it intriguing.
Frank Dee:Yeah.
Blak Makk:Which they've they've been they've been on this direction for the past couple of months to where they're at least trying to lead us there. I do believe that. So whatever it is, I just wanna come out on the other side of it and be like, that was some fucking crazy shit. I like it. Yeah.
Blak Makk:Because I my my enthusiasm is up right now. I'm I'm I'm enthusiastic about the ending of of WrestleMania 40. It's a time. It's a time. Just make it good, please.
Blak Makk:Make it good.
Frank Dee:That's all we ask. Do we let's see. Do we get a Roman who said we're doing it down the road? Yeah. Absolutely.
Frank Dee:Yeah. I think I think you will I I think that's what that's what I'm referring to when I say, Roman's redemption story. Roman's redemption story to me was sorry at WrestleMania. Because now he's gonna have to buddy up with the people like Samu Zayn, like a Seth Rollins.
Blak Makk:Everybody that
Frank Dee:he's Everybody that he's fucked over Yep. They're gonna have to band together against this new faction, which I called the galactic bloodline. That's what I call it.
Blak Makk:Nice. I like it. I like it.
Frank Dee:But, yeah, it's Ain't no damn games over here.
Blak Makk:It's gonna be interesting. It is gonna be interesting. And let's not forget, they put that tree up for a reason, and there were some names on that tree that we haven't seen yet. So let's keep that in mind.
Frank Dee:Absolutely. And it's just like with with, with TK's, co dealers talking about here with the reunion. A shield a mini shield reunion would be big business for WWE.
Blak Makk:Oh, absolutely.
Frank Dee:So they could do that. Especially especially if you if you build this faction up where where Cody's crew versus Roman, a Seth, a Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, War Games, possibly a Centimeters punk Yep. By that time, war games.
Blak Makk:You should be healed. Yep.
Frank Dee:Yeah. That that's that's big business.
Blak Makk:Yep. Hell, yeah. So very interesting shit, man.
Frank Dee:I think we're gonna see I I believe that we're gonna have another summer of punk. I think we're gonna get that.
Blak Makk:I think so too. And I think it may have be I think it may be against Drew.
Frank Dee:I that's a hot feud. I'm I'm I want I want that one more than I do him versus Seth. I think him I think what's gonna happen if he wrestles Seth, they're gonna have a match. And at the end of it, they're gonna probably shake hands. Like, it's gonna be a respect thing.
Frank Dee:Because it's all about respect with Seth.
Blak Makk:Right.
Frank Dee:Drew, on every hand, Drew, you know, he's just a a swarming heel. You know? So he's just you know, I prayed for this, you know, all that shit. You know what I mean? So, I mean, Drew McIntyre is on another whole another thing.
Blak Makk:You know? Bro, The man went to Mindy's. When I saw that shit, I I just I I busted. I laugh. I'm like, this dude is a savage.
Blak Makk:Doing great work, though. Shout out to you, Drew.
Frank Dee:Shout out to you.
Blak Makk:Alright, man. Before we get out of here, any last thoughts?
Frank Dee:Nah. Just looking forward to seeing what's happening this weekend at WrestleMania. Hoping it'll let us down, and, that's pretty much it, man.
Blak Makk:Alright. Should we should we do a watch party?
Frank Dee:Well, you can do a watch party. I have to work. So
Blak Makk:Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right.
Frank Dee:So you you can do a watch party all damn day long if you want.
Blak Makk:Alright. For for for the guys that's here, if you're listening, too, let us know if you would like a watch party. If we get enough interest in it, I'm down. I'm down to do it. We'll open up the rooms, and, we'll we'll host a watch party.
Blak Makk:So that'll be something, I think I should be available both nights. Friday night, I probably won't be, but we got a lot. We got ROH, supercar of honor.
Frank Dee:Hey. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen.
Frank Dee:We don't wanna hear about all the the the minor leagues. Right? We're talking about WrestleMania.
Blak Makk:Okay. I'm just saying we got a lot that weekend.
Frank Dee:No. We got You got a lot that weekend.
Blak Makk:NXT stand and deliver?

Frank Dee:I'm very happy. I'm just I'm just not into it like that. I know. I know. I used to be.
Blak Makk:I know. One day. One day. Maybe. Hopefully.
Frank Dee:Alright, man. What what was Vince McMahon's song? No chance in hell? Is that what it was?
Blak Makk:Damn. Never say never in the wrestling business.
