| 0:00.0 | So Roman Reigns or Romantic Reigns, as it said in my notes, |
| 0:03.3 | so from now on I'm going to call him Romantic Rains, |
| 0:05.4 | was not at Monday Night Raw. |
| 0:07.2 | So C.M. Punk walked to the ring and said, ha, ha, the tribal chief is not here. And let's not forget, over the last couple of weeks, I've put him through a table, and he's put me through a table. But when he did it, he did with you soes. and when I, see, I'm punk did it, I did it by myself, |
| 0:20.9 | and that's exactly what I'm about to talk about. |
| 0:22.8 | Also, hello, my friends, and welcome to ups and downs, the only wrestling of you show you need, because I will watch sports, entertainments, you don't have to, and we are only a couple of weeks away from WrestleMania, and the build has gone totally crazy, because we have to talk about ticket sales. I'll get to that in just one second, but I appreciate you joining me and always remember, if you are enjoying your WWE or your pro wrestling in general, it doesn't matter what anybody else says. But as for now, let's up those downs for Muntag Night Raw. Right, anyway, Sienpunk moved on to the fact that both of these guys hate each other, but that's totally fine, because when CM Punk looks at Romantic Rains, he just sees a fake plastic corporate champion who was given opportunity after opportunity. |
| 1:01.0 | As always, he relies on the bloodline too, and let's not forget about the time. |
| 1:05.0 | He ate dog food for a weird old man, which was a 2019 reference, by the way, when CM Punk made a 2014 reference, because he was like, and I used to work for that weird old man, which was a 2019 reference, by the way, when CM Punk made a 2014 reference because he was like, and I used to work for that weird old man, and because he worked me into the ground one day because I had a few money, I left and I didn't come back for a decade. And you know who he's talking about here, all of this is getting out of control. There's also a huge line which I think hasn't been talked about enough because he looked right down the camera lens and basically said you're a failure, Roman Reigns. |
| 1:32.3 | If anybody else had been in eight WrestleMania main events and totally felt like you did, they would have been fired, but once again you were protected because you are in the machine. |
| 1:41.3 | I was like, oh my gosh, that's quite the line. When CM Punk fell like he roasted |
| 1:45.5 | Roman Raines enough, so he moved on to Pat McGaffee, and yet he most definitely said that. Because how |
| 1:50.7 | dare you walk into my business and criticise it, especially ticket sales? And if you do want to |
| 1:55.4 | talk about WrestleMania ticket sales, why don't you go to that agent that put you on the show, |
| 1:59.6 | which yes, is the head of TKO, |
| 2:01.7 | and tell him to reduce the prices, because that's what the fans want. And everybody cheered. I started looking around. I did that thing I always did. I was like, there's somebody out there, because the Law of Average tells us this, who doesn't care about the internet, doesn't care about all the backstage stuff, just wants to watch the product. It'll be like I have absolutely no flubbing idea what's happening. |
| 2:20.3 | Now, there is so much to this, but... doesn't care about all the backstage stuff, just wants to watch the product. That'll be like I have absolutely no flubbing idea what's happening. |
| 2:20.3 | Now there is so much to this, but I do want to mention that CM Punk is just one of a kind. |
| 2:24.7 | Nobody else could have done this and you absolutely should check it out. |
| 2:27.9 | Because what essentially did here is he did convince you that Roman and CM Punk hate each other, |
| 2:32.0 | so you've got the personal beef when he also jumped into all the other madness that surrounds WW right now, and he took shots at them as well. |
| 2:39.4 | If you want to call it a pipe bomb, you bubbly could. And it really was absolutely incredible |
| 2:43.0 | because the delivery just sounded like a man ranting and raving. And the cool thing about it was, |
