I agree 100% with the Machinima take.

Why are credits at the end ridiculous? I'm not sure why that would bother anyone.

I think the Netflix deal is going to bring wrestling back to the mainstream pop culture in a way it hasn't been since the attitude era.

I agree with the thumbnail. There are other people on the roster besides Roman. Cody is now The Champion! Put some respect on his name!

I love end credits hell camera guys and black shirt dudes names too

Roman wasnt carrying shit his reign was "reign of terror" hhh reign was never that its roman reign that was reign of terror the kast time bloodline was even remotely good is when sami was there he was carrying the bloodline

Aew wasnt doing good number recently even then they got better tv deal then last time it shows that wrestling economy is just better in this era

Cm punk vs drew wwe feud of the year 2024 last match of this feud hiac but still not main event and suitty tag match that makes zero sense is main eventing what a load of crap why cody trust roman word if u remember roman has lied to cody before i wont remind u cause if i have too we are not watching the same show and solo litarary zero reason to be still involved with cody he lost twice clean at that inside cage cody shiuld not be interactibg with bloodline at all

The AWA inspired one, the 2016 red white and blue poster one, the Hustle Loyalty and Respect on the chainlink fence are all S/C Tier imo, What's missing is the SNES inspired one from 2008. There's a late 2009 green HLR one thats missing too.

Stronger then the attitude era? 😂

The mentality that the biggest guys can't lose, even when it's a non title match, is ruining the fun in WWE. That's where AEW is a million times better. It's unpredictable to a degree.

The Roman take is spot on. Roman simply existing doesn't always warrant the main event. Steve simping for Roman was a cop-out answer. The vast majority of fans are more excited for HIAC. This tag match doesn't even make sense. Oh, let's have two guys who hate each other team up for...reasons? Remember when the tag titles got the main event at Mania 39 because it had a better story than Charlotte/Rhea? I guess Roman just supercedes good stories because there really isn't any to this match. Meanwhile, Punk/Drew is feud of the year. But just say "1316 days" as if that isn't a totally kayfabe number.

I 100% agree with the machinima hot take. I immediately stopped watching it once you guys left❤ Steve&Larson for life!!!

Everytime I hear you guys mention The ROCK/Dwayne Johnson, all I hear (and reactively say aloud) is THE FINAL BOSS! Please do that at least once here or GIR . Thanks Friends!! 😅😅😅

Still don’t understand why old heads pretend that the attitude era wasn’t 90% absolute hot garbage and saved by like 5 names.

I don't want to see the end credits thing. i would rather watch the show and not think about these people portraying characters, but see them as that character. i enjoy wrestling through the lens of Kayfabe

Engagement

Solo definitely has mid-boss energy

Jacob should pin Cody with ease. Freak out Solo with the fact that he could easily beat Solo, Cody and Roman whenever he wants

ROMAN NEEDS TO MAIN EVENT EVERY SINGLE PLE 🎉

7:00 this person wasn’t alive or didn’t watch during the attitude era.

If Dom wins money in the bank, he has to cash in on Rey right away after winning the title. Then he can lose it the next night to Finn in a finger poke of doom scandal

8:20 counter point, for much of that time Roman was "Carrying the company", he was also not there...

Agree and disagree with the level of end credits. Just do what 80’s 6:05 WCW did.

Agree with you about my hot take about Bianca & Jade. Once she's back on her own she'll be back to the worldbeater again. Also maybe a not so hot take but Jade is not improving enough to justify her staying on the main roster.

Cody Rhodes as…. Cody Rhodes

Jade has one of the best visual presentations in the history of wrestling, but she wrestles worse than Bill Goldberg. I really hope she can flip the switch and “get it”.

Dom wins the IC title next year

Generational? 🤣 for what?, cause he would make a couple goofy memeable faces while playing wannabe gangster with his cousins? Such CiNeMa. Can't forget the mindnumbingly beat for beat matches while champion that made me mostly give up on the company until Mania cause everything was pointless until then. Can't forget also his special part-timer contract that makes him always either the opener or the main event to inflate his importance especially with how much he went out of his way to make the rest of the roster look like shit to elevate himself and his nepobaby clan by "little-broing" everyone. Sorry Steve, I like listening to you guys but I have to disagree mainly cause I have absolutely 0 respect for that egotistical politicking shithead Roman. He didn't carry anything, he basically forced the company's hand by almost quitting if he couldn't do this run, way to organically earn it 🤣👍 for me personally he has made the company feel so hollow cause it's obvious how much they go out of their way now to throw it in your face "he's this he's that, worship him".... at this point so many have been basically gaslit with all the buzzwords of "levels above & god mode" that they actually believe it 🤦‍♂️ he has never been my cup of tea and definitely never will be, Gotta put MY one up for Roman though🖕. I know this was quite a rant but I absolutely cannot stand him so much so that I've given up on Smackdown for years now cause it's all just Bloodline over everyone and how can we make Roman's head even bigger...🤷‍♂️ I honestly try to enjoy the rest of roster cause their are so many great talented wrestlers but everything just feels so damaged from Reigns bs.

i totally agree with that machinima hottake the only reason i ever stayed subscribed to that channel is because of people like you guys and the best friends, i wasnt even really into the funhaus guys untill they moved away and joined rt

You've got the John Cena hair lmao

I feel like Solo should take the pin leading to Jacob turning on him and taking over the Bloodline for the big Roman V Jacob face off, but I can see why people would feel it's premature as Roman hasn't even faced Solo one on one yet and then he just be floating not able to be apart of either side. Nonetheless, I feel the fans have also grown tired as it's apparent Solo is not currently at the level necessary to get the program that Roman and this saga needs and has lived up to.

Agreed on the cover heavy. Roman needs to take some time away from the main event or else it won’t even feel like he lost the title

I think there's a chance Bad Bloodline wins due to one of two factors, if not both: 1. Cody and Roman have an unsteady alliance that could result in Cody losing because of Roman, which would feed into KO's paranoia and eventual turn. 2. Jacob Fatu has been protected immensely and the only time either Roman or Cody get dominated by Bad Bloodline is when Fatu's in the mix. There's also the odd chance of a screwy DQ finish involving Kevin, Randy, GoD, The Rock, Jimmy, Hikuleo, or whoever, but even Dusty's kid has to realize that's not how you end a PLE.

Roman doesn't need the Main Event, he IS the main event

Sami Zayn was the one carrying the bloodline.

WCW started making turd decisions from December 1997. So while they were profitable for the most part in 1998 it was almost the inverse of WWE in 1997, which was fire creatively but not pulling the numbers.

On the subject of wrestlemania main event. And how CM punk will probably be screwed out of it by the bloodline. I think you are forgetting one major thing. John Cena's retirement tour and this is his last wrestlemania. I think there's every possibility that we get John Cena versus CM punk at wrestlemania in a main event. As this serves many Masters. I know Larson isn't going to like that take. But I don't see anyway you have John Cena's last wrestlemania without him being in the main event. I don't see that being against Gunther, when there's a perfectly good elimination chamber to take it off him at.

You look a lot like John Cena.

How long of a Pass does Jade get to get that work rate up?

Adam Page is the best heel in wrestling. That'd my Luke warm take. 😅

Punk carried nothing he was injured most of the time all he did was flap his gums

I'm gonna be honest, having the Rock be the real leader and involved is such a waste. This could've been an opportunity to build a real faction and instead it's to service Dwayne and his future WM match.

7:58 PART-TIME good sir. Anyone can be champ for that long wrestling a couple nights out of the year.

The only way i see Roman and Cody losing is by the Rock coming back and attacking Roman so that Solo can pin him.

My money is on Roman taking the pin. He has to realise he needs Jey
