What's going on, everybody? Not much. Kind recovering after the the royal rumble and more news

0:21.8

breaking down with the whole vince macman thing other than that i don't think there's anything else that

0:26.5

matters collision didn't do great numbers as i don't think anybody expected them to because i mean
