Luke is here saying "Ospreay vs. Danielson is the best match of the year objectively" and I'm screaming at my phone like "THAT’S WHAT THE QUESTION IS, YOU ARE JUST SAYING OLI IS RIGHT. WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT IS "it's expected to be the best match"?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LUKE

[@TheOman1997]

He’s an idiot, the sooner you realize it, the better

[@danshaw3043]

He's a moron, so there's that...

[@threearmedonion]

his argument made zero sense

[@TheOman1997]

@@threearmedonion he never does, Luke just says some stuff that never make sense, he’s an idiot. Hopefully if they continue doing this, the choices they make are the ones they truly believe.

[@JoeyHuman]

CM Punk has zero belief today in the things he said in that pipe bomb and one can argue he's the opposite of that person today. Steiner still believes what he said and is still that person today. Math > Pipebomb

[@davidyoung6649]

Biggest takeaway from this show. Oli comes prepared, Laurie is a great debater, and Luke can't debate his head out of a paper bag.

[@brandondegraw6945]

Luke was right though. The polls were right and this is right. It's factually accurate😂

[@GQSmoos]

Sure but it’s just like Luke was saying. Because Laurie is great at everything, it’s just boring to say he’s great at this too

[@matthewaltepeter8941]

My biggest takeaway is that Tempest has long hair under that mask

[@martinbabich1920]

@@matthewaltepeter8941 And he's Canadian, so is it Chris Jericho under that mask?

[@thedoctor3528]

Laurie didn't come accross as a "great debater" at all. Besides one round, he consistently had the weakest arguments

[@aidenf.4900]

The greatest thing about Steiner Maths is it needs no context. The Pipebomb is all context.

[@ritchier3346]

I never knew I needed a wrestletalk debate show until now

[@icytower38]

As someone who doesn’t watch NRB, it’s great to see Laurie back on the wrestling stuff. Not going to lie, his inclusion is what got me to watch this as much as I did.

[@Survivor-wf7nw]

The legend goes that Laurie was soon fired after the stream ended by Oli.

[@charlesbeck5511]

We just witnessed the villain origin story of Ollie Davis. The look on his face, this is a broken man.

[@jaredfauber7507]

Oli has always been the villain.

[@rockassassin64]

he's the boss of the company he has never been the good guy this the villain getting what he deserves

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

The villain has to think they're right. But ultimately: they have to be wrong.

[@Agrinu99]

The result of this debate can easily be explained through some math. The moment Laurie was added to the mix, Olis chances of winning DRASTIC went down. You see Oli, in a 3 way debate you got a 33⅓ chance of winning, but Luke! He got a 66⅔ chance of winning cause Laurie KNOWS he can't beat him so he is not even gonna try. The numbers don't lie, and they spelled disaster for Oli.

[@Mauricioromero]

You sir a genius

[@davetoms1]

Math gives us Engineering Engineering gets us bombs Ergo, Math is greater than Pipebomb

[@lscdemon5674]

Oil’s face at the end when Math was declared the winner was the cherry on top.

[@OfficialKillamo187]

Oli's face at the end needs to be a shirt. Really enjoyed how you guys broke down the debate of the greatest member of the sheild, Honestly as somebody who watched from start to end Oli and Luke breaking down the rise and breakup of the faction, it was a logical starting point to begin this with the "2 birds one stone" treatment, while settling the "which promo is better" you guys also found a great way to tie the sheild breakup aftermath in nice bow. Great job.

The WrestleTalk version of the Cornette Face shirt/meme.

[@robstuart8474]

1:52:15 - _partsFUNknown would like to wish Laurie Blake the best in his future endeavours._

Oli needs to have a depression storyline where he feels betrayed like Sting and returns like Crow Sting for his redemption arc

[@devdixon8266]

We all know math had a 100% chance of winning at sacrifice Edit: Spelling

In a complete twist, I honestly and truly haven't watched wrestling since the early 2000's, but I'm here for the content too

[@spiderman4207]

Pipebomb got tons and tons of people back into wrestling. Steiner maths made people laugh. The pipebomb is easily the better promo

[@brandondegraw6945]

Finally decided fair and square. As it should've been in the first place

[@babyt5322]

I genuinely believe Seth is the best from the shield. Most reliable, was the one they put the belt on when Roman wasn’t ready. I think they are all on the same level but Seth always felt like the guy I wanted if I could only pick one of the 3 for my promotion.

[@TRC_Tezyshay24]

Thank you guys for talking about our interview with Bret Hart , we rebranded as “digitally dreaming off the gridiron podcast” we’ve had lots of guests from Justin credible to Ken shamrock. Some of those were even better than the “ayy 👕one pod” yes I spelled it like that

[@lewismaclean8849]

Biggest robbery ever.

[@Yatagarasu299]

Oli, from the bottom of my heart, don't burden yourself with this loss. Some times people forget to add Laurie Blake to the mix. Things happen, bruv

[@PureBlackDragon]

Ollie actually swayed me a little there, but Luke brought me back, Pipebomb mattered a lot to us that watched at the time, but Maths will outlive us and be loved by every generation. Actually wild. Iyo VS Bayley is what I thought the best match at Wrestlemania was, too. Great debates, love this idea, look forward to the next one.

[@MZOPMB]

Pipebomb was iconic but it did nothing for anyone. Punk left. Super Cena stayed for a few years. Vince was running the company into the ground. It did nothing.

[@happenable]

Love the new format! Keep it going

[@pulkitsharma6313]

After their arguments i searched for math and not pipebomb, thats why math > pipe, it has researchable value

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

This is fantastic! I love it. It's like a bite-sized deep dive, something I wasn't sure could be done, but you have absolutely pulled it off.

[@BalorFigsUK]

There's no way even Luke believes that math > pipebomb 😂 fun joke though.

[@TrouserMauser]

Tempest absolutely needs a gavel and perhaps a powdered wig. He needs to show his authority in this court! Objectively.

[@mikeduncan3953]

How does Laurie turn Oli into a Simpsons character at the end?!

[@thetribalist6923]

“It was at this moment you could see Oli’s heart break.”

[@SGGB]

Personally: Moxley > Rollins > Roman Roman's reign as head of the table (which really overstayed it's welcome in my opinion) does not make up for the YEARS of terrible booking we had to endure with WWE trying to get him over. I love Rollins and I always did like him more in WWE than I did Ambrose, but when Dean left and became Moxley again he had some of my favourite matches and moments in AEW and NJPW.

[@TheStevieLavShow]

Absolute robbery omg. That was so much fun.

[@MJ-gq5kg]

I'll rate this according to Bret Hart's criteria (out of 10) IN RING : Rollins - 9.5 Moxley - 8.5 Reigns - 8 PROMO : Reigns - 9.5 Moxley - 9 Rollins - 8.5 Look/Presence : Reigns - 10 Rollins - 8.5 Moxley - 8 Overall: Reigns -27.5 Rollins - 26.5 Moxley- 26

[@nalday2534]

A good joke is what this comment is

[@screwdarulez1000]

Brother in no world is reigns a better promo than mox. Hard disagree

[@NickSmith-qp2yu]

Enjoy the format. Look forward to more episodes. I think you should throw in some occasional blind questions, like they used to do on Movie Fights, to see them squirm on the spot. Maybe even multiple choice so the last to pick gets stuck with an answer they might not want. For example: Who would win a triple threat for the U.S. title? Homelander Cody, '99 Kurt Angle, or Real American Hogan?

[@drexeldragon1723]

People need to stop saying "if you remove this stuff from this match, this other match is better." Well, yea, if you remove half of my money, I'll be poorer. But you can't take things out that actually happened. "If you take out all the things that made this match awesome, it wasn't awesome." Cody/Roman II is not just my match of the year, it's going to be remebered as arguably the greatest WrestleMania main event of all-time.

[@diywrites8703]

Love this concept. It's movie fights but pro-wrestling.

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

I can't stand phil brooks aka c.m punk, as a man and a performer. With that c.m punk is entertaining on the microphone. I gotta say punk's pipe bomb is better than Steiner math. The only promo that comes close to the pipe bomb, is Kevin Owens on smackdown years ago, when shane was running smackdown. You could feel Owens frustrations. Mainly bc they were our frustrations. Owens went off on shane and everything that's been going on.

[@hotstepper8988]

Education has won. Long live the educational proprietors who enable such great mathematical thought to be dreamt and thus win this debate. MathsGREATERthanPIPEBOMB!

[@armysheep75]

Hell.... in....a.....cell..... that negates Laurie's entire argument that Seth never had a failure.

[@SpaceViking2000]

And he never truly recovered. Seth is too good to be down, but sometimes we forget how great that IC to Univ. run was.

[@MZOPMB]

Seth's never been the top guy in any company because unfortunately he isn't THAT great.

[@SpaceViking2000]

@@MZOPMB I think he had a chance. He really was on the run of a lifetime before he started to self sabotage online then that HIAC match and that really did him in. A year or so later Romans reign begins, then Cody comes back. Damn lol

[@tetsedah]

I love this new series. I hope you all do this more often.

[@RomaroBrandon]

Best To Worst Overall: Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose. Seth Rollins is Triple Crown Champion and Grand Slam Champion, was the Shield member to win the WWE Champion, won the Royal Rumble and MITB. He can cut a promo, go in the ring, get over as a face or heel, he's held three different world championships and is the only Shield member who has held the NXT Championship. Seth Rollins is considered a workhorse and the modern day Shawn Michaels. Roman Reigns was the first Triple Crown Champion and Grand Slam Champion, he's main evented the most WrestleMania's, is the longest reigning world champion in the modern era and the 4th overall in superlative reigns. However he wasn't the best at cutting promos until he turned heel and wasn't over as a face for over 4 years. And I honestly don't think he'll be able to pull off being a face when he returns. Dean Ambrose is also a Triple Crown Champion and Grand Slam Champion, he's a former MITB winner, he can cut a promo, was over as a face but only partially over as a heel when not apart of The Shield. He can also go in the ring but he was never given a fair shot. He was WWE Champion once for 69 days, didn't have a memorable US Championship run, never main evented WrestleMania and was only on the main roster for a little over six years, almost half the time he was teaming up with Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns if not facing them, and if he was still in WWE he might get another world title reign but no more after.

[@170skeith]

I'm just saying I see more people recite Steiner math than the pipebomb

[@Ravenstorm163]

Beginning the war by scott Hall is the most important prome and the best promo ever

[@50everyday]

The swerve at the end should have been Laurie revealing a "Tear in my eye > pipebomb + maths" T-shirt, thus making the entire episode a draw.

[@MiGWar82]

LOL He broke Oli MATH WINS! MATH WINS!

[@NaDavila]

Love it!! Movie Fights but with wrestling

[@ericvyskocil7428]

Future video debate idea. Best career of the 2002 ovw class between John randy Brock and Dave

[@adamrobinson6951]

Seth's win/loss record makes him the best of the group. He has lost an insane number of matches, being trusted to put over other talents and keep his own momentum through sheer star power. Meanwhile, Roman's entire career is defined by having been allowed to win every match - an opportunity almost anyone in the company could make work.

[@venn5510]

Kevin Owens fought El Generico on several occasions. How are they the same person?

[@bygraceiamsaved5088]

This is so great. I just realized Im watching best friends talk about something they all love. This format is wonderful. I would like to see more of this series.

[@MaceOfSpades96]

@bygraceiamsaved5088 Me too

[@oathkeeper65]

If I may add something to the first debate in defense of Roman Reigns. He went through the most vitriol out of the SHIELD brothers. I remember those days of the Boos, the death and assault threats against Roman and his family, the fans throwing replica briefcases at him. no one would have blamed him for walking away. And yet he kept going and came out as one of the best wrestlers of our generation.

[@Curathol]

I think one thing that people who mythologise the pipebomb like to forget is that WWE was on board with it. They didn't know exactly what it would be but Punk did not go into business for himself to tell the audience all the things they weren't supposed to hear. It is not the Daniel Bryan-story, where the fans changed the business united behind this one guy they believed in. It was WWE's way to adress their own disgrunteld audience and bring them back ...

[@nalday2534]

True. Itself either Rollins or Mox by default

[@maxhowlett9661]

Your maths is worse than Steiners

[@Rexel4th]

I am really happy to see a debate style show being given a chance but hope that this format will be refined and shortened. For example, a strict 60 second time limit to present your argument and more focus on fantasy booking topics such as "Who should be Cena's last opponent?" rather than just "What is the best...?". If anyone has ever listened to the BBC's Fighting Talk show then that would be a good format to adapt for wrestling. Especially the Defend the Indefensible round where the contestant has to debate in support of something they don't agree with (e.g. Oli has to argue why CM Punk is a bad wrestler).

[@MrXander0319]

Olli made alot of quick small errors that a fact checker should've rocked him on. Lol

[@paulmaloney585]

Only started this and I have to say, I can quote the whole Steiner math promo while only know the "Hi Colt Cabana" line from the pipebomb off the top of my head so I have a favorite going into it

[@ChrisPayneHBTW]

1. Seth Rollins 2. Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes 3. Will Ospreay 4. Uncle Howdy 5. Wrestlemania 23 6. Pipebomb, but Steiner Math is my favorite promo

[@eoindevereux7591]

Hard times > Pipebomb & Math. It deserves to be in the conversation.

[@joshkaid]

I actually agree.

[@MZOPMB]

Not really. Neither Ollie or Luke think either of those promos are the best. It was just a joke because Steiner makes no sense ever and the Pipebomb is iconic despite the fact it achieved nothing. Watch the video where they talk about the 10 best promos.

[@MrMems92]

Should’ve known tempest was gonna pick Dean 😂

[@bobmonk64]

I think you should get a group of non wrestling fans to watch them both and cast a vote. No bias. No favourites. Just a good clean organic reaction and decision.
