Summary
Joe and Anthony break down a chaotic Monday Night RAW, tearing into WWE's last-minute WrestleMania card-building in Madison Square Garden. From Dan Hausen's "merch goblin" gimmick to the rushed Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar build. They also dig into the Seth Rollins/Gunther pairing that came out of nowhere, Cody Rhodes getting embarrassed by Stephanie McMahon, CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns feeling backwards, and the overcrowded celebrity situation at WrestleMania. Plus, a tribute mention for Kevin Castle. 0:00 – Intro & WWE Building the WrestleMania Card Last Minute 0:54 – Is There a Reason WWE Holds the Card Back? 1:52 – Dan Hausen / The Merch Goblin Debate 5:01 – Dan Hausen as a Meme Wrestler & Internet Crossover 5:58 – WWE Signs Ricky Starks & Ethan Page 13:31 – MSG Raw Recap: Half the Mania Card Announced in One Night 14:32 – The Names on the Ring Canvas Stunt 17:50 – John Cena as WrestleMania Host — Desperation or Strategy? 20:16 – Seth Rollins vs. Gunther: Where Did This Come From? 42:17 – Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: Rushed & Poorly Built 43:30 – "Obama vs. Barack Lesnar" & OBA's Potential Wasted 48:34 – Penta & Kofi / The WrestleMania Ladder Match Clusterfuck 49:27 – The Vision vs. The Usos & LA Knight Getting Buried Again 56:06 – Jelly Roll at WrestleMania: Does It Make Sense? 56:23 – Bad Bunny vs. Celebrity Wrestlers: Who Actually Works? 58:40 – The Celebrity Royal Rumble Idea 1:04:18 – Cody Rhodes Segment: Stephanie McMahon Slaps & Embarrasses Him 1:12:14 – Finn Bálor vs. Dominic Mysterio Promo 1:15:31 – CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns: Who's the Heel Here? 1:17:29 – Roman Should Be Younger to Sell the "Old Man Punk" Angle 1:20:39 – Raquel Rodriguez & Eo Sky Scare Moment 1:25:43 – Outro & Kevin Castle Memorial Tribute Mention @iamjondra…
