| 0:00.0 | Hello there, my very good friends on today's wrestling news. Hasr, WrestleMania lost its aura. WW Legend seems to think so. I'm Andy H. Maree, the H stands for Hulk. I'm Wilborn, and this is the news. All right, we're just going to break down a single story on this video. We'll be back later on with some more stuff involving WrestleMania matches. Betrayal. Some betrayals and frustrations. And stuff like that. We'll talk about that later on. But right now we're going to talk about this, which is what we do on these videos. We sit here and talk about stuff. Great. Good start. Really hot for retention. This one. AJ Stiles. Yes. Says WrestleMania has lost its luster. |
| 0:38.5 | I think the most interesting thing to me about this is that he's not done it on some |
| 0:42.0 | podcast where he's like been interviewed by the wrestling banana guy from a big competition |
| 0:49.6 | for us, the wrestling banana podcast. |
| 0:51.0 | Yeah, Russell Piss has come through and they've interviewed Adios. |
| 0:55.8 | No, he's done this on the raw recap. |
| 0:59.3 | Sam Roberts, yeah. |
| 1:00.3 | Sam Roberts. |
| 1:01.0 | Oh, it's a WWE product and he thinks WrestleMania's lost its luster a little bit. |
| 1:05.7 | So here's what happened. |
| 1:06.7 | He was kind of asked about or talking about, like, how he chose to retire at the Royal Rumble instead of WrestleMania. |
| 1:14.0 | Because WrestleMania is traditionally the biggest show on the calendar. |
| 1:17.3 | But AJ explained that it was kind of a full circle moment with the 10 years, 2006 to 2026. |
| 1:23.0 | I'm going to read you his quote as well. |
| 1:25.0 | He said, it was coming back from an injury to WrestleMania to a match that to me didn't have much built. WrestleMania, I'm sorry to say, |
| 1:32.7 | used to be the most prestigious PLE, but to me it's kind of lost his luster a little bit. As far as |
| 1:38.0 | the Royal Rumble, that's special to me because it's where I made my debut. To be able to end where |
| 1:42.7 | I started is poetic. Before we kind of jump into this stuff, what I think the very good friends at home should do is jump into this offer from Norton VPN. Guys, you've got to stay safe. It's Big 26. Everybody is out to get you, especially if you're using public Wi-Fi. You need to tighten up your security. |
| 2:01.8 | Yeah. You need to lock that door. Don't throw away the key because you need to open it at some point. But keep that key in a safe place. If you're traveling, if you're from the UK and you're in the US, or if you're from the US and you're in the UK, maybe you're from Indonesia and you're in Zimbabwe. But you want to access your content at home |
| 2:18.6 | While you're on the road, sorry, you need a VPN, |
| 2:21.4 | brother. |
| 2:21.9 | It's a tremendous deal we got going on from our partners in Northern VPN. |
