| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Post Wrestling's night two coverage of WrestleMania Vegas. |
| 0:06.6 | I am John Pollock, joined by Wei Ting, and we are going to be here for however long it takes us to go through WrestleMania. |
| 0:13.9 | But I wanted to make an announcement off the top that, you know, we have had a lot of fan engagement this week. |
| 0:20.5 | And I want to welcome one of our |
| 0:22.6 | priority post wrestling cafe members who is going to be joining us for the review this person is not |
| 0:30.3 | going to be identified um we're not going to talk about this person really and they're actually |
| 0:35.4 | not going to comment on anything, but they're here |
| 0:39.0 | in the corner. And I'm just obligated to say that. They do have a lot of money, you know, |
| 0:46.3 | so that's that's all that you need to know. Yeah, that was certainly bizarre. One of the more |
| 0:52.4 | bizarre activations we've had. |
| 0:55.0 | Dare I say, I would not qualify this person as a celebrity, and we will absolutely talk about Adam Whitesman. I don't think he crosses the threshold of celebrity, but if he does, he might replace G. Gordon Liddy in terms of the weirdest celebrity at a WrestleMania. This was certainly one of the |
| 1:12.7 | most bizarre moments I can ever recall and one of the most just naked, ambitious activations |
| 1:19.9 | for a TKO produced event. I, to the point way, I couldn't imagine the UFC actually doing this. |
| 1:27.6 | I really believe Dana White would actually stop this from happening at a fight. |
| 1:34.4 | WWE, not so much, and maybe I will be proven wrong by the end of the year. |
| 1:37.8 | But I thought this is one of the most ludicrous things ever, that this crypto billionaire |
| 1:43.7 | that was in jail two decades ago for |
| 1:47.6 | check fraud was our guest commentator for Jade Cargill and Rio Ripley. And dude didn't say one |
| 1:57.3 | word, didn't even say great to be here, nothing, not a word out of this guy. and then he returned to his front row seat for the rest of the show. So did they actually call him a guest commentator, or was he simply there to sit down next to the commentators? Like, was that the privilege? Because I, I mean, I didn't hear a thing from him on commentary. He didn't even say hi to these guys when they introduced him, |
| 2:18.5 | but no, he was introduced. Like Wade said, it's great to have somebody on the broadcast here |
| 2:23.9 | for this. Like, this was certainly presented as, like, this guy was going to be on the call, |
| 2:29.7 | and he sat here for the whole match. This is one of the strangest things I've recalled. |
