Cultaholic Wrestling Podcast 272 - Should Cody Rhodes Have Beaten Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 39?

[@YoungAce904]

The funniest part about Shane's injury is that it happened IMMEDIATELY after Cole said "looks like Shane's still got it!". Like, the timing was so perfect you would've thought it was scripted

[@diabeticman2194]

Mania weekend had a lot of unsatisfying results: Mark Briscoe, Eddie Kingston and Cody all should have won their matches imo. Reminds me of how we’re still waiting for a certain ‘Hollywood’ Jobber that hasn’t gone to the Italian restaurant with his laptop yet

[@happenable]

I always look forward to ur comments and how creatively you shoe horn this comment with the big question every week

[@jasonjimerson7046]

They either totally forgot this, or Jack buried this arc. How long has it been since they last did a Cultaholic challenge?

[@wh5601]

Eh, I was fine with Eddie losing because there’s still more story to be told between him and Claudio imo. Definitely agree on the other two though

[@wolframiumlavasioth]

Asuka. Im sick of Bianca as champion

[@RobertJW]

I'm 100% okay with Mark losing too. He's a tag team legend with Jay, but Samoa Joe has been an absolute killer every time he's been in ROH and Mark is really sort of only just finding his feet as a singles competitor. It would have felt nice, but it wouldn't have felt *earned*.

[@wickideazy]

Jack legit getting heated because someone used the bathroom after Dan but before he could is the content we're really here for. I bet the bathrooms at the nearest Italian restaurant are available, though you may want to have someone watch the laptop while you're in there.

[@pedrosoto4596]

Jack getting mad because someone went to use the restroom before him is the content I’m here for. Love you Jack!

[@chimpmasterflex]

Tbh I'm rather impressed that they managed to keep it to just 4 hours.

[@chrisclayton3916]

No Jack… you were correct.. Michael Cole’s prediction for the Andre Battle Royal was Top Dolla “because he can’t get over the top rope” was his quote on smackdown

[@happenable]

Tbh, you guys deserve some sponsorship for this podcast. Every part of the podcast could be sponsored by different brands. Like "Beer52 presents This Week in Wrestling" etc.

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

Totally forgot this podcast was coming out today. I'm ready for the best four hours of my wrestling week! [PODCAST ENJOYMENT NOISES]

WHOA UNEXPECTED CULTAHOLIC PODCAST?!!?!?!? WE'LL TAKE IT

[@ChickenNugNugz2]

Jack is doing his charity walk so they recorded it Wednesday, it won't have AEW results though so unfortunately won't know about Wembley

[@jimbo_1312]

Also, Easter, so long weekends all around.

thanks for acknowledging my sign Jack!! glad to have supported you lads at Mania for both nights🙌🏼 @1:01:25

[@marebbpc]

A 4 hour podcast, for such a simple answer. YES, HELL YES!

[@EdgarGarcia-jo1se]

My choice to beat Roman at this point is Solo Sikoa, becoming the new tribal chief. Hopefully Jack can see this great moment on his lap top while enjoying a delicious pizza on an aesthetic italian restaurant.

[@jameswright672]

Can confirm, Michael Cole picked Top Dollar to win the Andre because "he can't get over the top rope." It's still real to him damn it!

4hr podcast, and I got my cultaholic hoodie today...get in 👍😻

I bet they recorded this podcast HOURS before AEW Dynamite 😭

[@LwandaMandla-eo3io]

A Cultaholic Wrestling Podcast a day early??? Let's go!!🤙😁

[@thelordthatispablo6162]

To correct Maffew at 39:05 , it’s possible to still be Latino and from the States.

[@MrKeeganimal]

Just to let you know, lads - Bodhrán is pronounced Bow as in Lil Bow Wow, and Ron as in Ron Weasley.

[@_Pauper_]

Thank you for clearing that up, seriously I hate being ignorant of shit like that

[@jeyrm]

Na Na in a couple of interviews, Kevin has talked about the Usos alongside Naomi and Tamina if im not mistaken, they were the first guys who sat to eat with him, payed for his food in a restaurant or something, they made him feel welcomed, thats legit i hadnt heard they met kevins son and played with him, but its probably also true

[@Slagomancer]

I'm usually pretty skeptical of "Losing Face" type stuff, but that Cody clip really does hit different

[@Tpelf]

Jack's done this on purpose. He knew if they reviewed AEW it would be a 5 hour long podcast. So he scheduled his walk for this weekend so they didn't have to review it this week and thus have a shorter podcast. I see you Jack (Also I'm not hating. Love Jack and the podcast just sharing a thought that came to mind)

[@hunterblacc4336]

The answer is yes. Also Thursday!

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

I'm happy for Indi Hartwell and the witches tag team champions

[@reno_2200]

3:09:45 Jack coming in with an incredible niche reference to make Maffew proud

[@JordanK14]

Podcast curse. They missed the greatest moment in AEW history. The Gunns coming out to Many Men

[@TheDarkknightkyle]

Thank you Jack , been listening to this thing for years and someone finally referred to 2000AD.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

This is early... Definitely not complaining here. This was a wonderful surprise! I salute you boys for your hard work.

[@Scarliner]

Cheers Mates, I´d be very happy if you´d start including chapter marks in the description, so youtube shows the minute marks in the video so we can skip the parts we don´t listen to that much and can access the parts we want to hear directly :)

[@abhinavdutta3952]

I would have laughed my a** off if it was 'Plan B' or another contraceptive presenting the Dom and Rey match.

[@Darashiva]

Wrestlemania was on its way to becoming an amazing show up until the end of Asuka Vs. Bianca. Then we had three almost back to back wrong winners (in my opinion of course), and the feeling was entirely different from what it had been up to that point. Asuka, Finn, and Cody should have all won their matches.

[@KitsuneRokaku]

To answer the question: Yes. End of discussion.

[@DJDoubleCee]

I had mixed emotions about how the main event turned out. I like seeing Reigns as an unstoppable heel but I was also disappointed to see Cody lose.

[@es_peartree]

It’s a long one so it’s great to have it a day early!

[@Rand0mHero713]

What a lovely Thursday surprise to help get me through my last work day this week

[@TheDjd111]

looks like the Wednesday curse is the new thing missing out on Jay white

[@BABYFACE0895]

What a glorious surprise on a Thursday

[@warensemblem8594]

First things first, have fun and be safe on the walk Jack 🤘🏽

[@TheLifeofBez]

the reason people where very vocal duringthe wwee hall of fame and most the WWE shows wrestlemania weekend was due to the mics being on very low volume so we couldn't hear the speeches/promos well and also the screens not showing anything for large parts. hopefully they fix that going forward as its the only thing that took away from an otherwise incredible weekend.

[@dski2e]

Actually wade did ask cole who's gonna win the ambar?Cole replied-"Top dolla" as he can't go over the top rope.

[@matthewlong1472]

Is Triple Flush a new channel?

[@Poncho5rc]

Did I travel to the future? Is this some sort of post Mania miracle? Has Jack taken his laptop to the italian restaurant? Let’s find out!

[@markbarlow3275]

All I can think is they are waiting for next year to make Cody win at 40 or Gunther...at this point who knows?

[@briandavis676]

Yeah I think they are going to build a Cody vs Roman rematch for a year and Cody will win at Mania 40. They’ll probably label it as “the biggest rematch in history!” lol

[@MichaelPastz]

Podcast a day early??? The podcast curse is gonna be crazy this week

[@thranthony]

I popped HARD when I opened the KZbin app and saw the thumbnail cause just like everyone else here I completely forgot y’all were uploading a day early!

[@abhinavdutta3952]

Michael Cole did say that Top Dolla line.

[@jenrique0913]

God I love every single Cody fan breaking down! Everyone crying over the finish. 10/10 ☝🏼😂

[@Artefracture]

Alvarez started the next episode of WOL saying he beat him, too.

[@fdmstryct]

That comparison between Bond/OddJob fight and Odd Jones/Dyjak got me in tears.

[@StealthMarmot_]

Sad to hear about Bushwhacker Butch. When I see those two back in ye olde new gen WWF, they look like they are just having an absolute ball with their matches. Like, they don't even care whether they have a perfect match or a win or loss, they just want to have a good time and it's infectious.

[@hexenhammer483]

Good to see Jack, Ross and stylin' Mormon Maffew again.

[@diabeticman2194]

While all the Hall of Fame picks are fantastic, I’m surprised either Dom’s WrestleMania entrance or the Miz/Shane/Snoop Dog segment was nominated, thought for sure they would be mentioned

[@spoogtastic]

Just remember, Vince was about to bury Gunther before he "retired" I have 0 faith Gunther won't immediately lose the title then be buried.

[@dillerdime39]

I watch this podcast for the hard hitting questions like "why doesn't Otis get the black crotch piece?"

[@gameon71]

Thursday Podcast?! Now that's a WTF moment.

[@ErnonFloundee23]

I’m on the fence for this. On the one hand, hard times breed better men, it’s in Cody’s theme. On the other, Cody was built up so much to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and HHH just discarded it. I am a Roman fan however and, I reckon that WWE are doing the right thing. The way that they have built Roman up as the top heel and guy is immensely impressive. I do understand why people may be mad that Cody didn’t win but, WWE have put their mind to Roman and are going to stick with it for a little while longer.

[@_Pauper_]

I need to have absinthe with Ross and Maffew, just a spritz o water

[@LwandaMandla-eo3io]

2:27:18 Damn Maffew, that's deep😭

[@jordanwalker365]

2:38:33 can we please talk about the noise that exited maffews body right here

[@chrishowell6469]

The only way they can redeem themselves for Cody losing at Mania is if he beats Roman in Madison Square Garden this September. That will be after Roman does 3 years as champ, and it's the arena that Dusty should've won the belt in the month of September. Have Roman do his own PPV called Bloodline in MSG to prove he's better than Bruno, Pedro, Billy Graham, Backlund, and Hogan. The champions of the MSG era. I don't want to wait till Mania. Its too far away. And if WWE can capture this perfect moment; with Cody on the shoulders of the roster, with the belts and confetti falling, with the picture of his Dad with the belt in MSG in '77 on the tron in the background, I will forgive them for Mania 39.

[@_Pauper_]

[@shadowslayer40]

Cody should have won regardless of if your a fan or not it is just good writing. However, I am a massive Cody fan and think he deserves the title more than anyone else on the roster despite Seth coming in a close second.

[@DateMike22]

Yes he should've

Don’t forget Cody got a bigger Pop! This Monday than Wrestlemania. Just saying 😎

I feel another power shift! WWE was on top for a year. AEW have brought in FTR and Jay White. Both were rumoured to be going to WWE. with Vince being heavily involved again. All the talent will be going to AEW. WWE is fucked.

[@abhinavdutta3952]

Sheamus, AJ, Lashley.... I'm just creaming with the thought of them against Roman and we already have the Bloodline drama. Edit: Cody will beat Roman next year at Mania no doubt (Paul said no rematch @backlash,Madison Square garden, Summerslam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble but didn't say WM40) I want these matches before that.
