2:52or maybe just trying to pull people in, go ahead and come to our pub and watch Vegas. That was reversed in March, so it was turned around. But the belief at the time was that that one, not saying that this is a case for the raw one, but that one was done to boost struggling ticket sales for Mania, which were below expectations. Now obviously, because the Mania one was reversed, there's every possibility that the raw one raw after Mania ban could be reversed as well. But right now, as we're saying here, raw watch parties in Vegas, blackout ban, blackout ban. So, here's the thing, if you want to kind of like Sherlock this a little bit, you can go on to ticket master right now and you can have a look at the seat map for the raw after WrestleMania, they're selling like a third of that arena at the moment. They haven't even opened up the hard camps, it's the raw after WrestleMania, what's the crack there? Now, obviously, big question regarding us, right, we're saying here advertising amongst

4:00other things, a watch party for Raw after WrestleMania on the Monday in beer house in New York, New York, New York. We're in beer house again on the Friday for a SmackDown watch party and then we're in public house in the Luxor on Saturday and Sunday after Mania doing live ups and downs, meeting great, all that kind of cool stuff. You can sign up now for information of whatculture.com forward slash live, these events are totally free, so you won't pay a dime to get in, you can come and meet us, have some food, have some drink, have a good time. Yeah. But what does this mean for our watch party? You might ask, what is our vested interest in this story? It's pretty simple, it's pretty straightforward, here's what we're going to do. If we can't do a Raw watch party, we're going to do an after party to be, you'll get ups and downs in the building, you'll get the podcast, you'll get a chance to come and say hello, get a photo, have a drink with us, all that stuff, we are going to switch you up, don't worry, if you're planning on coming to see us on Monday, you can still do that, the timing will just be a bit different. But I would encourage you all if you are interested in coming, do sign up to the mailing list,

5:02whatculture.com forward slash live, you will hear about any further changes there before anywhere else, and also if the band does get lifted, the watch party will be back on and you'll hear about it there as well. So there you go, not often that we have a bit of exclusive news, but yeah, it is what it is. It is also not very surprising, again, pure speculation on behalf, but if you think this may well be related to ticket sales, yeah, naturally the first thing you would do, I don't agree with it, but the first thing you would do is say, well, we've got thousands of people in Vegas from WrestleMania weekend. If they can't watch it in a bar, chances are they'll go off, I'll drop two, three hundred of quid or whatever it is, on a ticket to the RAW after WrestleMania, and that might be the cheap seats, let's be perfectly honest. We did have a look, Phil had a look, and I believe the cheapest seat to get into RAW is like 86 dollars. Okay. That's not bad. No, that's good. That's not bad by modern standards. Unlike there's no bad seat in that arena. No, it's good arena. But yeah, like you say, if they are, if they're struggling, a akin to what happened with

6:05WrestleMania, which appears to have recovered now, especially with that 316 sale that they had on, yeah, I think they've realized, well, and I completely understand it from a partner's perspective. If you're spending thousands of dollars to go to Las Vegas, to go to WrestleMania, you like, you know what, Saudi, it's going to cost a lot of money, but me and my partner are all friends or whoever, we're going to go to WrestleMania, I'm on these kind of short after that, but I'm just getting a RAW after WrestleMania's decent again. Now, last few years it's been really, really good. Very newsworthy last year, so I still want to watch it, but I still want to be in Vegas, I'm in Vegas till Tuesday, Wednesday, or whatever it might be. Yeah, just annoying that you can't, especially with those, watch it for the time being, but yeah, I'm not exactly surprised considering what happened with Mania Weekend. Not a huge surprise, bummer if you're a fan, man, like if you don't want to pay hundreds of, or whatever you're paying, right, to get into a building, having the option to just go to a bar is a really nice alternative. You can sit with your friends, you can have a burger, you can have a diet coke, you can

7:08have a beer, you know, it's like nice, it's a nice thing to do. So yeah, like, personally, I prefer it if they reverse this, that's been our stance on these things since day one, like three weeks, it's been off weeks, exactly. And our stance on it does not change just because it impacts us now, by the way, we've been against these things since the first moment, these, these bands. So you can go back and watch the one where we talked about it, about elimination chamber in Chicago, and about the rest of Mania ones as well. So there you go, well, we are fun regardless, like Andy says, and it's free at the end of the day. I mean, it's after a while, I'll be about six IPAs, deep by that point. Yeah, it's going to be a fun time regardless. These days are one of our very few free days, isn't it? Yeah, our Tuesday is going to be, we're still deciding on what to do, let us know what we should do. I mean, we're just like our fourth time in Vegas, let us know what we've missed. We're going to feel like we're in the mob museum. Oh, yeah. I don't see some gangsters. I don't know what I'm going to do, yeah. I might do that. I want to do that. I've done it before the zip line long, free monstery.

8:08I will hold you fun. Well, you do this. Okay. I'll record you as you go over it. Perfect. It was good. It was good stuff last time I did it. It was so much fun. Yeah. I will do that. Is that the thing when they smack your ass? You hold your ear. No. Only if you don't finish. Oh, God. And guess who accidentally didn't finish last time, he was there. Also if you weigh over a certain amount, you have me else free. Oh, okay. If it's your stop losing weight. And they bring you your drinks in drips that you wheel around, what's wearing a gown, it was awesome. Oh, wow. Well, okay. Sounds interesting. Good stuff. Sounds interesting.

10:40Why she did it, how much she enjoyed it, you know, not only the fact that she did it to support her friend. I always see Maria Schufer and her first pay-per-view match, but she talked about what it was like. She's been in WWE. How does AW compare, saying, I've never been to an AW pay-per-view, so I don't really know what to expect so much, but I'm thinking a less restrictive, more adult version of WWE, which sounds like a good time. Kind of a cool little bit of a FU, she didn't say F to the TKO group, which is kind of funny, because WWE is on Netflix, obviously her fight against Gina Corona is also on Netflix, but she says, I kind of figured it'd be easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission on this one. I'm promoting you show, it's fine, we didn't advertise it, it's not like we boosted the rain, so it should be fine. So yeah, it was a nice, a nice combo of things, isn't it? Obviously, yeah, she would genuinely probably just do this to support her friend. Yeah, Maria and Maria should go way back. Best friend. And she talked about how she said to Maria, now anything I can do, you know, if I'm in town or whatever any shows that you're doing, you're in LA with a show countering WWE

11:46owned by TKO, who messed me about for years on a potential ever return, and now I'm subscribing to this alternative with the Gina Corona fight, that's good to me. Funny that, we did say yesterday that this was probably partly a middle finger to WWE or TKO, she hates TKO, fair play, like she had the experiences with them, we've never worked there. So, you know, we can't say you're going, how dare she hates TKO, I didn't look, it's not like it's been the most popular ownership in combat sports history, is it? That show, especially someone like in Gannos on it, is not exactly going to be pro TKO, is it? Oh my gosh, yeah, I'm going to watch the hell out of that show, like give me, give me strange fights, give me like, like those old Bob sat fights, where he fights someone, he like is a fervent of his, anything with a Diaz brother involved sounds good to me, I'm a Diaz. I am a Diaz brother, personally. Yeah, they took me in when I was in Stockton one time and they beat me up. I have a question, Mike Perry's on this card as well, isn't he? Yeah. Was Mike Perry the one, correct me if I'm wrong MMA fans and there's a very small circle

12:49of wrestling in MMA fans who asked for the Halo music to come out to and they just played Beyoncé's Halo and he went, I'll do it, I'll swear that happened, I'll look that up in a second. I like that, you ask for a video game and you get the Queen, that's an upgrade. Because they're like, ooh, I can see that, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him. I'm going to double check this, Mike. I mean, it's not traditional walk out music but I could see him making it work to be honest. Yeah, it was. It was Mike Perry. Well, do you think the worst walk out song would be possible? Uh, I don't know. By the dinosaur. By the bum. I had, I'd have just heard, I'm going to give her a share of mentions of this, I have started listening to, I was going to play this when I came to the office today, a song by Anthony Vincent and Mac Glocky, I've been listening to a lot today. Okay. You know, Miley Cyrus' wrecking ball? Yes. What if Lynn Biscuit did it? It's all shit. Oh my gosh, all right? Check it out. All right, I'd walk down to that. Hell yeah. Yeah, Ronda Rosy hates teak heels. Do you hate anyone Adam?

13:50Um, Mansfield. Um, Mansfield. I don't think I hate anyone. And anyone in particular? Just things. You know, busty people in the supermarket. People who don't come in with a list. Yeah, I'm not going to sit here and say, obviously, you know, fascists. Yeah. Or Sam, I've been maddened. Yeah, he got to that saying some of these people. Yeah. Oh, kind of an easy guy. I don't know. I got loads of hitters, obviously, obviously, because we're cool and sick and awesome. Rich. I hate motorists now. I'm a cyclist. All right. I'm a bike guy. I've literally yesterday. I have, I am a part-time cyclist. I hate cyclists who go on the pavement and think they own it. Get on the road. Get on the road. Get on the road. I'm with ludicrous. I'm both. Some swimming. I'm weaving baby. You swarve when you cycle. I do. I never mind dry. This is because I've ridden one for about three years. And if you want to have a safe journey through the internet. Oh, good point. George VPN is here for you, my very good friends. Right now, we've got the deal of the year. It's 77% off. You can get free Amazon gift card and you can get four months for free.

14:52If you want to log down your internet security, if you want to protect yourself online, also if you're traveling the world and you want to access your content from anywhere, wherever you are with a click of a button, Nord VPN has got you covered very limited time deal. This expires on Saturday. You have two and a half days left. Get involved. Problem solved. Let's talk about Tecla. No. She's gone. You can't try it already. Good for her. Good for her. Good for her. When did she sign? Like a year ago? I'd say it's going to be less than 12 months, mate. Just around 12 months. Yeah, absolutely. Because I was watching, I watched the blood and guts matches the other day. And Tecla was in it. And I was like, this feels like two years ago. It was like six months or so, four months or something like that. We were talking about sky blue. Yeah. Excellent pilot interview. I was like, yeah. I mean, I think it was before my child was born. Yeah. Yeah. I was farty when that happened. But no, she is, A.W. has locked her down. So this is from Fightful Select, noting that, basically, they're just so hot.

15:54I'm happy with her. They've just given her a new deal, like way, way before her contract was set to expire by the sounds of things. Now we don't know the exact length of it yet, but apparently, yeah, she had signed a two-year deal, basically. So it's like halfway in, basically, to her first deal. OK. A.W. is so delighted with her performance that they just gave her a new one, which is awesome. It's good to hear. Yeah. And apparently, she did use representation to complete the deal, which, you know, smart negotiations. But yeah, good for her, man. Like, good for her. That's awesome. I love people winning. I love people winning. Like coming in, kicking ass, you're halfway through your deal. They go, hey, here's another one. Yeah. Tecla, it's awesome. Yeah, exactly. I think, you know, pure speculation, or as it could be, because WWE is sniffing around her and something, A.W. you're like, well, hang on a second. Yeah. In, you know, six months, you can maybe start eyeing at what could be out now and in 12 months, you could be out of the door. I'd like to think, though, quite rightly, that they've signed her. She had great deal of potential, a lot of buzz around her, obviously, when she came

16:54into the company. But we've seen others come in and not do what she, she's world champion right now for goodness. And she's killing it as well. She's just absolutely smashed it. Promo delivery is unbelievable. So yeah, I like to think that maybe the pure speculation, like I say, maybe they've said, here's your two-year deal initially. Here's your wage. It's probably not what you're hoping for, but let's see how you get on in the first 12 months. And maybe we'll look back at it. Quite rightly. She's earned a new contract. Well, she got a bus and the bus is full of tequila. That'd be great. That'd be awesome. No, if she gets a rider as part of this new car, yeah. Personal experience would dictate, I think she might ask for some tequila. Well, the world is in trouble. She's great. I would love to have a tequila with Teclo and Clark Connors. Honestly, it was about a year ago. No, it would have been last summer, wouldn't it? I did that. The tour, the March tour was last time last year, but yeah, yeah, they're cool people. I like them a lot. She's very punk rock as well. Yeah, very. She grabbed me as I was going on stage to introduce Mark Henry to say we need more tequila.

17:57I was like, one second, look. You're doing a job. Hit you with a spear as you're walking around. Yeah, she's awesome. Congratulations to her. And I'd like you to say more than deserves it. Yeah. She is a genuine sort of shining brightly. An example to set to anyone. Male or female, AW or WWE, wherever, came in, owned the gimmick that she had. She had really made herself appointment viewing, smashed it in the ring, smashed it on the microphone. World champion, new contract, good for her. She's so refreshing as well. I would drop it all in at the least. Yeah, me too, absolutely. She's so refreshing. The personality just cuts through everything. The promo delivery is incredible. She comes off as like a big star. The wonder rose. I love rose roses as well, which was awesome. It was just the wine of the year. And I think it works so well as well, because it's such a contrast to Chris Statlander in her reign. Because I love Chris Statlander. I think that her reign was quite unfairly criticized. But it's like a different energy. Chris is a bit more stoic.

18:57She's a bit more of just like a cold-blooded ass kicker. Tecla is the most expressive person in the universe. She's having so much fun, isn't she? It's great, man. It's great. I love seeing people win. Yeah. And she's kicking ass, so thumbs up. Hopefully she's here in London in the summer. Yeah, when you're not going to put through a table by Will Osprey. I'm going to do that. He's got more more worried stuff to... Hang on. Wait a second. Just a wine. It's back a second. Will Osprey shooting on every Jordy ever? Well, I'm not a Jordy, so... Oh, that's nice, darling. I'm just... I can get it again. I didn't know. Yeah. What was it? Typical Jordy. That's like... Always the lion or something like that. Oh, he's going there, oh he will. Good luck, Paul. I mean, I don't care. I'm not from here. Oh, man. You better say nice things about Aberdeen. Then we're going to have to, you know. You ever been to Aberdeen? Will. It's grim. Do you like granite and seagulls? I mean, I love it. Anyway, let's talk about indie wrestlers. How much they suck, Andy. Not my words. Your words were my best friend, Maxwell, Jacob Friedman. Obviously worked on the Indies for a long time.

19:59Thankfully got away from that dreadful scene for him. Clearly. Come on. Speaking to Andy. Yeah. He's talked about, we know what it was like. And what he is experiences of it. Recently facing Alec Price and Zillafatti. He has a glory and limitless wrestling, obviously. That's the first line. You know, he's, he's, he's been the titles out there. He's, you know, he's got obviously, he's got a history there. He clearly enjoys it, but now he's up to doing great. He still wants to give back to it. He goes back to the Indies all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of these guys suck. The guys that I'm resting on these independence of the guys that are working hard, putting these guys over at least. Making the town's doing everything they need to become better talents. You know, talking about his experience, he talks about how, you know, he would drive anywhere in North America, Mexico or Canada for $20 and a canico, a hot dog and a handshake, just to get reps basically, which is I think genuinely what's still what you need to do nowadays. Absolutely.

20:59I think a lot of these new guys are lazy. They're not getting in the car. They're not trying to do ring crew. He said nothing that many feel that because there are options in WWE, TNA, MLW and AW, doesn't promise anyone anything. Yeah. You're not signed yet because you effing suck, get better, apply yourself, go to training three or four times a week, find a ring, roll around, make yourself better, do tape study, become a student of the sport. Yeah. It's interesting because obviously there are far more opportunities with the likes of WWE and AW, but as a result of that, and then maybe then bringing up some of the rising talent on the indies, it barely a moment goes by where a name is mentioned. Yeah. And they are not immediately signed or at least appearing on WWE, AW, it's so clear. And A recently with Ricky Sose, for example. Yeah. Nevertheless, it's still quite old school in a, look mate, I can probably pay your gas money or get you a meal. I have no idea what Indie pays like.

22:01From China even to Miller, it's like, this is the way the world works unfortunately. It's different in the US. Yeah. But yeah, first of all, it's very, it's funny, it's a funny interview isn't it? Yeah. We just talk about these swings when we think they're funny. I like Indie wrestling a lot. I watch a lot of it. I watch more Indie wrestling than anyone in the office, I think that's not a big leap to say. And look, I think there are some really, really, really great talents out there. There's loads and loads of people that I enjoy watching from like a Matt Dodd Connolly to like a Tim Bosby, to like Johnny Robbie, who might be the coolest wrestler in the world. She's awesome. But there's, there's names out there that, and like, the last prestigious event that sadly just took place. Sadly, I say that because the company is closed. But like, it was like a proper landmark show with a great main event between Kevin Blackwood and Judas Icarus. So, you know, the quality, maybe you have to dig a little deeper than you did when it was Adam Cole, the Young Box, Keith Lee, Zach Saber, Junior,

23:03Candice Loray, names, names, names, names, names, Shimmer, Evolve, all these places. Maybe you have to dig a little bit deeper now, but there is still stuff out there that being said, this is a very funny interview, so I just laugh at it. Yeah. But yeah, as a champion of wrestling's non-mainstream stages, it's just a nice opportunity to say, go exploring. Yeah. You'll find some cool stuff. And I like the fact that, you know, Max, he put the graft in. Let's not forget that. He is the incredibly talented, obviously. But, you know, he worked for WCPW. He worked, of course, a variety of different indies before. You know, for many of us, for the first time seeing him in AEW, he wasn't just, oh, here I am. Yeah. He's done that. And I like the fact that he's, you know, this lavish character now, but he's still reminding people, you've got to put the hours in, man, if you're starting out and you want to get to, you know, yes, it looks like, well, anyone gets to go on, you know, AEW or TNA or whatever nowadays. And this is just a, no, there's a lot of people who want to do this.

24:04It's funny, because it's like, I don't know who to class as an indie wrestler a lot of the time, right? Yeah. Because some of the, some of my favorite people to watch on the indies are people like Danny Luna, but she's signed to TNA as well. So it's like, what do you, what do you even class? Or like, I love the, but like, I then, I can just watch a Ricky Sosadrens and then watch him have like a 50-minute banger, and I'm like, the coolest thing in the world. Him and that small room in Paris is the best thing ever. But he's like 21, he's going to get signed really quickly, I feel, because he's just, yeah, he's awesome. He's great. You've all seen the evidence. Come on. If you haven't, bang, bang. So is that, so is that. Yeah, get down the speedbook. Ricky the dragon speedbook. That's what they can say. That's what they call him. Anyway, thank you for joining us today. Only news video of the day, I think. New ups and downs for, uh, I need to be done in my light. That's right. That's right. Coming later on. I wonder what a wonder of Miller fault that swarfs Strickland vs Kenny Omega was good. You'll have to find out. I think I might have a guess as to what he thought of the match's quality.

25:05But yeah, you'll have to tune in to find out. Also remember. Eat your greens. What goes the dot com for sex live? I remember guys. Don't have no emis. Bye. Have a dream. Let's keep it dry.
