| 0:00.0 | Wrestling Soup is intended for a mature audience. |
| 0:10.0 | Wrestling Soup, I'm Anthony Thomas. He is Kevin Castle. What is up, man? |
| 0:18.0 | Not much. Kind of enjoying the hell on a Smackdown tonight. They did a great job. Man, a lot of fun for the night. You can definitely tell it's WrestleMania on the horizon. They opened up tonight outside of Phoenix. Where was it Glendale, Greenview? I think it was Glendale. Glendale, right. Okay. So they were in Glendale. Or as Rock calls it, Cracks. Cracking meth and Coke. And I was like, God, damn. Oh, my God. I love that rock bring back crack. You know, he could have went down the fentanyl road, the meth road, but he went with the old school. Yes. He could have gone down the meth road, but he went with crack. Well, he was checking his statistics, Kev. I don't know if you caught that at his conversation. That was funny. Oh, my God. Rare form. Old school rock kind of back knows how to control a crowd right off the bat the music plays and i saw some |
| 1:12.8 | people kind of going i wish he would change his music like madmex in the chat room was even saying |
| 1:17.9 | earlier i wish he would change his music do you think it's time to change the rock's music or are you |
| 1:22.2 | okay with his current thing before we get it anything okay i'm okay with with the music i mean it's |
| 1:26.8 | it's familiar i think if you change it it kind okay with the music. I mean, it's familiar. |
| 1:27.7 | I think if you change it, it kind of changes the dynamic of when it hits. You know, it's just like the glass breaking for Austin and the Randy Orton music. Yeah, what's your classic veteran? It's just, you know, you can't picture anything else. It's who you are. Yeah. Yeah, and because people like, well, he's not, no, well, if you remember, he was using that similar. |
| 1:46.0 | When he was Hollywood Rock, he had the helicopter entrance on the on the screen, like, you know, over Hollywood. I mean, maybe he can add a little something like that. But it seems to me that he's not going the I'm corporate rock road. He's going the badass ass kicker road. Like he's like, you know, shit talking |
| 2:01.9 | rock. He's not like, oh, I'm on the board and I can do whatever I want. People thought he was going to like come out like in a suit like corporate cane. I don't want him to do that. It's not rock. You know, so he's coming out in the classic shirts. Tonight was a shirt straight out of Oh my God, wasn't it? |
| 2:16.4 | He wore that show with Mark Henry and Delo Brown back in 1998. |
| 2:19.8 | Oh, yeah. |
| 2:20.4 | I mean, just amazing, you know. And Rain's coming out. I like what Raines is doing now. Even if he's getting acknowledged, it's not enough. And he threatens to go home. I hope he does that every week. That's a good one now because they were loud. A friend of the show was out there tonight and he was telling me |
| 2:36.3 | And I had another friend there was texting me |
| 2:37.7 | He goes, dude, don't believe anybody to say it is pro reins and rock in this crowd. I don't even, they're Cody Chance and totally drowned it out. Can you hear it on TV? I says, no, I can't hear any Cody Chance on TV. He goes, that's because it's very light. |
| 3:12.7 | He goes, it's very pro rains and rock in this crowd tonight. Don't believe anybody would be there. So I'm like, no, it's coming across that way on TV. I, anybody else, I couldn't hear any overwhelming Cody chance. I couldn't hear it. It didn't sound like there was overwhelming Cody anything, but it was difficult to tell. And I don't know if it was with you, but I know with our feed and I saw other people mentioning too, the feed kept going out tonight. |
| 3:17.9 | So right off the bat during the Rocky segment, like the audio would go out sometimes. And then sometimes it was the video and the audio. Sometimes it was just the video, just a black screen. |
| 3:23.6 | And I think it was Mike Johnson that was saying that the reason that they were doing this |
| 3:28.1 | or trying to censor it, which I don't understand the audio side, the video was because there |
| 3:33.5 | was a die, rocky die sign out in the audience. |
| 3:36.9 | And if that's the case, I'm like, ah, couldn't they have just asked the guy to take the sign down yeah they could have i mean they could have they could have dealt with i don't know if that's or maybe not have the camera look at the guy you know yeah yeah i don't know if that's the case that's you know one person it's not like there was a fight in the stands or something that's kind of like that's we're in a sensitive world though and we'll talk about the maxine effect in a little bit, but... Oh, yeah, we'll definitely talk about that. But, yeah, I mean, but Reins had this look of disgust on his face. Not really a rock, but just at the situation, but I like how rock came out. And, you know, it was a long segment, but this was much better than the one from a couple of weeks ago. I like this one much better. |
| 4:14.7 | More comfortable. |
