บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ WWE Backlash 2025 Fallout and Sneak Peek at I Know What You Did Last Summer

seething sometimes in his promos and he calls it a dysfunctional relationship, but you're the reason it's dysfunctional, not him, And you could kind of see him going through it, man, and it was pretty It was pretty cool to watch his You know, he's always known how to act, but since he's gone to Hollywood. It's certainly gotten better and he's improved, and I just I thought he did a good job. And some of you may be saying, because you remember, like season one, like I thought you didn't like John Cena. Wasn't he ad dick to you? He didn't like me. I had no problem with him. He just didn't like me. I like just about everyone. I can count on one hand the amount of people where I'm like, I don't like that guy, or I don't like that chick. But yeah, I had no issue with him. I unlike the unlike the rest of you, I appreciated it because I knew what he had to sacrifice to be the PG champion. You don't think he'd rather be a rated R champion and get to do more grown up stuff. No, he took it on the shoulders. Other dudes could have done it, they didn't want it. He took it. He did it, and he was Captain freakin America and a lot of guys hated it, and now you love him. Just remember that, so anyway, pretty good. He'll turn overall, maybe not the biggest one ever. Probably Haul Coogan's was the biggest one ever. But I think they're doing a great job with this. Next up next. Oh and if you bet with us, we made you money again this week. If you didn't bet with us, you didn't make any money. If you bet on your own, you lost money. Remember that United States Championship. This might have been match of the night. This was like epic Fatal four Way, which sometimes gets too crowded, but WWE doesn't pretty damn well, and the dudes in this match were sick. It was Jacob Fatu the champ. I'm here and talk now. Oh he's being pushed too fast. Oh he's not being pushed enough to chill out. Let him book The show Man versus La Knight versus Drew McIntyre versus Damian Priest. This match went all over the arena. They got a great spot from Drew mackinto hiring Damien Priest outside fighting in the crowd and a big old what's this thing called? South of South of Heaven? The Damien Priest hit it on, Drew off this big like cargo thing and they smashed through a table, both of them. They looked awesome, which gave time to then focus in the for the finish of the match. Everybody got to see Jacob Fatu win again because Jeff Cobb from a DUB made his WWE debut. He attacks La Night he pulls the ref out of the ring. What a jerk you are, Jeff Cob. And then Fatu hits the moon salt at what however much he weighs three hundred and fifty pounds or whatever. It is freaking moon salt when you're that big, it's just ridiculous. He smashes La and Night one, two three, and the crowd goes crazy, and then the internet goes crazy because they don't like the result. But I think Jacob Fotu is the shit and that dude's going to be headlining WrestleMania one day. If you don't believe it, you will not a yata

I mean out how he says it. I'm not good at it, but I like it anyway. Moving on the Women's Intercontinental Championship match the champ Lyra Valkyria. Oh, by the way, we also had Fatu winning, so we got that one right as well. The Women's Championship. We got this one wrong people. I'm sorry they're going to give Lyra a longer push than I thought. I think all wrestlers deserve a long time to get a push. I think they make a lot of these wrestlers learn on the fly. You can watch their development and growth, which is really really tough to do, but Hollywood does it too in TV and movies all the time. But time is definitely an experience, definitely doesn't hurt. So they're giving her a wonderful push. And this match was awesome. They gave him a ton of time. Man, this was like, it felt like a twenty five minute match, and they went back and forth, and the story of the match was Becky's lost to this girl once before. She was zero and one, and she was convinced that she made her an it just wasn't her night, and she was gonna win now and there gonn only be one Irish female wrestler on the roster and it's gonna be her, God damn it. Then an awesome match for twenty five minutes, and Becky won, we got it or Becky lost, we got it wrong. She is zero to two, and so the story is this is the girl that has her number and how is she gonna beat this chick? And I think that's nice and refreshing because I got it wrong. I thought Becky would win. She doesn't lose that often. But it's nice to see the over over over talent, right, the talent that's so over you say it three times on a podcast. It's nice to see them take anel and do whatever they can do to get the next generation or the next guy or the next girl over. So this was a cool match for a multiple multitude of reasons. It was awesome. I hate being wrong, I hate being wrong. I hate losing you guys money. But I think a lot of you sensed I was wrong and you went the other direction. Moving on, Gonter versus Pat McAfee not only called this match, we kind of called how it was going to go down too, just a regular old singles match. One guy was pissed off at another guy because he tried to hurt his friend. Noble reason to fight, old school reason to fight, And we had mentioned last week, wouldn't it be nice if, for once, the friggin' celebrity lost the match instead of always having to put the celebrity that's making more money than the wrestler already and is super rich and famous, let's make him feel even better about themselves. No, damn it. I've said it before, I'll say it again. The celebrity should lose these matches, unless it's Mike Tyson. He was a boxer, so he gets to knock you out. But the celebrity should lose because they're not in their element. They're not in there. If it's Bruce Lee, maybe do you guys respect Jason Statham skills. Maybe Jason Statham wins. You know, he gets the knockout punched the way Hugh Jackman got it on Dolf back in the day when he was doing that the Robot Boxer movie thing. I don't remember the name of it, but I think he should have probably gotten whooped up onto because these are professional wrestlers. Man, they can take a shot, but every time a celebrity hits them, all of a sudden, they got glass jaws. So this was so refreshing because I think Pat McAfee feels the exact same way, at least his actions reflect that. And he went in there and he gave him hell. He fought like hell, he battled back from hell, and it just wasn't enough and he fell victim to the sleeper and took a beat down. But you know, he got a couple of licks in which were good. He nailed him with a couple of potatoes. Good ass match. It made gun Through look great after losing the title. It makes him look dangerous and scary and mean as hell because now Michael Cole hates him. That was a great part of the story as well, was Michael Cole. Before the match even started, he goes, look, usually I'm professional as all get up, but not today. Damn it. That's son of a bitch trying to choke me out at my friend. Screw him. I'm rooting for Pat McAfee, and all of us at home are like, yeah, I go Michael Cole. We love Michael Cole. So that match was awesome. We made you money on that, but you didn't need our help for that one. Everybody knew which way that one was going to go. Next step the Intercontinental Championship match. We didn't give you guys a prediction for this because of the day that we record this, it hadn't been made yet. But Dominic Mysterio versus penta pretty easy to bet on. If you were going to bet on it, They're not just going to let Dom win it and then lose it right away. Dom gets some of the biggest reactions, not just in WWE, in all of professional wrestling. They don't even just boo Now, now the cheers and booze are equal. Eventually those cheers are going to become stronger and stronger and stronger, and he's going to become one of the biggest babyfaces in the company unless they do something slick to get him to turn him into you know, a little shit again. But right now he's looking great. Penta's friggin man. I was showing my daughter his walk out. She goes, oh my god, he looks scary, and then she saw him do his walk his actual walkout where he smiles, like, watch how this fool just walks in like a true Pachuco, like old school gangster and just walking stretton to the friggin ring like a peacock. And she loved his walkout and she goes, yo, she goes, he takes so long to get to the ring. I said, yeah, man, he takes his time. He makes a meal of it, which is cool. I like that he stays patient with it. And then he finally gets in the ring, and as slow as his walkout is is the opposite. He wrestles real fast. Just everything about him is cool. But he had to lose Man. There's no way they could let him win that match that soon, and it was good to see the right guy win. Also Al Grande Americano, which a lot of people are accusing Chad Gable of being this guy, which is you don't know. You're just making reckless accusations, the same way you guys

make reckless accusations about me online and say all kinds of horrible, mean stuff. That's all this is you guys. You just you hate Chad Gable because he's jacked and handsome, looking, good, badass wrestler can get any gimmick over, so you hate him for his greatness. It's like Kelly LeBrock in the eighties. Don't don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Yeah, don't hate Chad because he's beautiful. All right, he's not well, we don't know. I'm not saying he is or he isn't. I won't confer more deny, but he did. Heabutt Penta with the steel plate behind the mask, and then Dominic Kitta would have frogs blast for the win. So we'll get to have a great contest or a little like B story. I think with Chad Gable, Oops I said it and Penta going back and forth. Chad Gable's amazing, pent is amazing. Those matches are gonna be a ton of fun moving on, John Cena. So who's next? They had Randy Orton, Cody was vanquished and defeated. These have been shady, shady wins. Who's gonna get the next match? Or does Randy say, Dude, I got screwed worse than anyone's been screwed in quite some time. What the f give me a rematch. That's probably the easiest thing to do is just let him run it back again like they did back in the day. People might get tired of that quick because people get tired of stuff more quickly than they used to. In O nine I think that was when they had their their big rivalry, oh seven to nine something like that. So I'm not sure. I don't think you can bring Cody back yet for it. I fa Iwu has a belt and that would be too fast, Like if they put him in scene and then I would understand the criticism of him, him and his storyline. It's not gonna be La Knight. It's not going to be Damien because him and Drew still hate each other and they are going to punch each other in the face. It's not gonna be Seth because he's focused on Jay. So I don't I don't know what they're gonna do with John. They look their stories have and really maybe not everyone agrees, but to my eyes, their stories have been way better than they have been in the past. They're doing long term storytelling most of the time. Most of the time, the Becky Lynch story was short form story. They did that in like three weeks, but most of this is long form so it can spread out not just over weeks, but over months, over multiple pay per views. So they'll figure it out. I'm not too worried about them, all right, you guys, We're going to transition to something that most wrestling fans also like, which is horror films. If you guys are loyal listeners, I hope you're loyal. 00:14:45 Speaker 2: You know. 00:14:45 Speaker 1: I had to go to Australia for a little while, but we kept broadcasting. Even from down Under. We were still talking about me trying to put together a wrestling a wrestling federation. Some of the Australians that were down there were like, oh, you should check this out. Check out. I just didn't have time because we were working on the movie so much. But I did want to talk about it, I know you did last summer and give you, guys, not a sneak peek because you can't see anything but a sneak listen and tell you a little bit about what I can and share, you know, good news and good stuff with you. I also have a horror podcast if you guys are into horror crap, it's called that Was Pretty Scary. You guys can listen to it same days. It comes out, same day that these come out, every Wednesday. My partner on that one is this dude, John Lee Brody, who knows literally everything about every horror movie ever made. I know, like a lot of things about like eighty five percent of all the horror movies ever made. He knows one hundred percent of one hundred percent. We're gonna do. We've already started our season three now I think it's season three, and we've already broken a million downloads. So people are digging what we're doing, and you guys should dig it too. If you're in a horror check us out. My movie's called I note you did. Last summer, we did an episode. I think our very first episode of season one was on my experience on that movie because I had never seen it until I watched it for the pod. I don't like watching stuff where I know how it's going to end. And I've read the script of every movie I've been in, so I know how they all end. But we I'll just kind of break down the whole scenario. Like when this movie first they first started talking about redoing it, I was out, like I didn't have the best experience on the first movie. The second was fine. I was contracted to do it, but I was working on another movie at the time, so they kind of had to like write me out of it so that I could do double duty, or actually we were wrapping late so that I could come in late on the next one. I didn't have to work double duty. I just went from one to the other, and they had already started filming, so I didn't have the emotional connection that maybe some of the other cast members would have had, right because they had a better, more positive experience than I did. I think, so when my manager first brought it up, I was like, Oh, that's an easy pass. I passed on the She's All That remake. I thought that was not going to be cool. I had read the script. I just didn't click with it. And they were just trying to make it like a cameo, Like it wasn't even going to be the same character, and She's All that he was just going to be like the principal I think it was. And they had no money. They were like, hey, do this as a favor, even though we didn't put any thought into it whatsoever, And so I passed on it. It was it was super easy, and I figured this would be the same thing, like I don't want to do like a little cameo, Like I love acting. I want to be, you know, a part of the story. And they told him to not even not even offer it, that I wouldn't do it. Then almost a year goes by and my wife says, Hey, our friend, we have this friend named Jen Robinson, really good writer, really good director, and you should google her. She's done a lot a lot of stuff

that you've seen. And she had just finished this movie with Sarah called Do Revenge, which was on Netflix, and the casting in that movie was brilliant and the look of it is awesome, and the script was really cool. But when you see the cast and you see like the level that they're performing at giving their their age and lack of experience, you're sitting there like what the holy shit? Man, Like, who directed this? It's Jen Robinson. And so my wife says, Hey, Jen's gonna write and direct or co write and direct. I know you did last summer, and she wants to pitch you. And I was like kind of conflicted because I was like, man, I don't know, like if I don't want to like make her feel bad because I don't really want to do the movie. And she's like, well, she has a cool idea and she wants to pitch it to you. I was like, yeah, right, cool, it's a friend. So I go and we have lunch at this place called the Lazy Daisy Cafe, which is just a hole in the wall cafe. They have good breakfast, and we sit down and she pitches me the idea. Now I can't tell you, guys the idea because I don't ruin movies. I'm sitting there and I'm like, Yo, this sounds pretty frigging cool, and I can tell you our characters, mine and Loves. I shouldn't talk about Loves character, but I'll say this, They're not cameos. These are significant contributors to the story and to the motivation of the other characters, which are the leads of the movie. We're certainly in the supporting form and not the leads of it. But it's not like, Hey, here he is, it's Ray the Fisherman. Hey, it's not that. And so I'm listening to the idea and I was like, Wow, that sounds really good. And then she starts talking to me about like who she wants in the movie, and I don't know everybody she's mentioning. So now I'm going on deep dives on IMDb, which is the Internet movie database. You guys can check that out if you don't know about it. Start watching some of these other movies, and I start seeing like, you guys might not Chase. So we Wonder from the Studio, which is a new show that just got picked up for a second season. She's super talented. This girl named Sarah Pigeon, super super talented, does a lot of Broadway. Just was phenomenal in this movie. Everyone was so depth, had so much depth. And then Maddie from outer Banks. And when my daughter found out that she was in this movie. My daughter loves outer Banks. It's a show on Netflix. She went, Nanas, I had no idea who Maddy was. I don't watch out her Banks. I'm forty nine years old. I'm a bit out of the demographic. So my daughter goes, you got to watch the scene, and she shows me this scene where Homegirl's breaking down big time, and I'm watching this S Girl. I'm like, Dad, this is how old is this? Check man? She's so much better than I was at that age. And I've gotten better, but back then I was not as good as I wanted to be. I worked hard, but I didn't have the experience that everyone else had, So I was always frustrated with my performances until I got much much older and kind of started to figure things out and learned how to be more vulnerable on camera and make things more organic and stop manufacturing emotion but just allowing emotion to exist, like more high level things like that. It just took me a while to learn. But I'm watching the S Girl and she's just killing it and it's high high level. I was like, holy shit, man, Like this girl's going to crush in this movie. So fast forward. I say, yes, we worked the deal out. Love says yes, they work their deal out. The movie's a green light. We all go. We make this movie in Australia and Los Angeles. It's shot in two different locations, and so we get to Australia. I'm there by myself. I had shot Scooby Scooby Doo in Australia, I hadn't shot in Sydney. We shot in the Gold Coast. Sydney's one of the greatest cities in the world. It's awesome. I don't work every day. I'm gonna have fun. My family's coming out in like a week, so I want to, you know, know my way around town and show them. I find all the best restaurants, find fun stuff to do. They have this aquarium that they're gonna let our kids interact with some of the some of the creatures. They're not like touch them or anything like that, but like help feed them that kind of stuff. They're also like, meet a koala bear, that kind of crow. I want to meet a kawa. You know, you want to meet a freaking koala bear. Fruity, They're dangerous. They have chlamydia whatever. These ones seemed like they were clean. Nobody caught anything. So we go down there and we start shooting, and I get to see this director Jen Robinson sort of in her in her natural habitat right, like she was meant and born to do this. This was I think the big I think the biggest budget movie she had directed. She had written some Marvel movies and done a lot of work for them, but she hadn't directed one. So she comes in here and her shots are awesome and the look of the movie is beautiful. The dead bodies, I'm a big mark. That's a wrestling term, you guys know that for practical effects over digital effects. I love seeing fake corpses. I love seeing fake blood. I love seeing how they squirt it out of the wounds when someone gets stabbed. I have to say I was a little snobbish because I was like, well, I'm friends with some of the best, you know, corpse makers in America. Let's see how Australia does, y'all. I'm not gonna say who it was because it'll ruin the movie. But I walked up to one of the actors who's in there death pose, and I literally go, I'm gonna make up a name. We're gonna call him Joshua. And I go, Joshua, josh dude, how are you? I was gonna say, how are you holding so still? And I literally was like, holy shit. And I turn around and Joshua, for purposes of this story, is not Joshua. He is a lifelike. And when I say lifelike, I mean I thought it was the dude. And he's sitting there, dead and displayed for everyone to see. And I'm the only one that doesn't know because I was last, the last one there, and I

literally went up to the director. I was like, Yo, these are the best dead bodies I've ever seen in my life. And they really are. Like the movie's so scary, it's so gross when it's supposed to be. It has a couple laughs, but it's definitely not a horror comedy. It just has like a couple like two or three moments where you're like, oh shit, that's a cool throwback or oh my god, she told him like that kind of thing. But other than that, it's very reminiscent of I Know what you did. It very reminiscent of Scream. Even a couple of little moments that kind of reminded me of the faculty when they were all together. I don't know if you guys remember that movie, but it's a really cool flick and Sinners kind of kind of took some inspiration from that too in the last act of Sinners. You guys should check that movie out too. They used to check out every horror movie, but you definitely check out that one and mine. Thank you very much. And yeah, man, I had an absolute blast on this. The cast executes at such a high level. The horror is exactly where I love it. And I'm not a horror snob, but I do consider myself an officionado. I do feel like I know I know good horror from bad horror, and I don't mean bad horror based on budget, I mean like poorly executed horror, and I don't like that. I don't give love to every single horror movie that I've ever seen. Yeah, man, I just I can't. I really want you guys to see this movie. We worked so frigging hard on it. The director did such a good job. I'm really proud of my work in this, and I had a ton of fun with the stuff that I got to do in the movie. But when you see this next generation and how well it's this movie's cast. That's all Jen Robinson. These are all her picks. These are all her selections. And I really think that we get to see kind of like the stars of the future, although some of them are already big stars. But I think you get to start seeing him in more movies, and not just and not just television, but television and movies. So yeah, So check it out. I think it's like July thirteenth or July fifteenth. Look it up. There's tons of social media on it. The trailer's got like a bazillion friggin views on TikTok. If you like trailers, it's a good one. Check it out. And uh and the movie's gonna be great. So if you're a wrestling and a horror fan, you like today's episode. If you're not a horror fan, then you tuned out a while ago and forget you. Hope you never listen. Agod just kidding.
