[00:00] Show Open & WWE Controversy Unveiled Coach introduces the episode, teasing major WWE drama and invites audience engagement via super stickers and premium BTT membership. Vince Russo joins, noting how today's wrestling buzz is always about backstage events, not in-ring action, and why their insider perspective matters. [02:17] The Rock’s Pat McAfee Interview Fallout Coach shares the massive fan response (770,000+ views) to his take on The Rock’s comments, underscoring how much fans care. Discussion begins on The Rock’s absence from WrestleMania, his rationale for skipping it, and the controversial Pat McAfee interview. [04:49] Russo’s Breakdown: The Rock’s Real Agenda Vince Russo calls out The Rock for setting Triple H up as the fall guy, suggesting calculated backstage maneuvering. Analysis of “throwing Triple H under the bus,” the conflicting narratives around ticket sales, and The Rock’s shifting roles and public comments. [08:01] The Death of Kayfabe & WWE’s Identity Crisis Coach and Vince dissect The Rock admitting WWE is “all entertainment,” eroding the line between character & real life and leaving talent—and fans—confused. Examples: Rhea Ripley's out-of-character appearance, backstage fan access at WrestleMania, and the blurring of reality. [11:39] Major Plot Holes & Fan Confusion Russo explains why The Rock’s story doesn’t add up post-Elimination Chamber and how WWE’s inconsistent messaging is damaging the product. [14:46] The Rock Claps Back at Wrestling Critics Analysis of The Rock’s Twitter response to Dave LaGreca, outright calling the business a “work” and inviting select personalities—noticeably not Triple H—to creative meetings. Implications this has for Triple H’s internal influence. [17:19] Triple H: The Old Guard on Shaky Ground Coach and Vince speculate on internal power struggles: is Triple H being systematically pushed out by TKO and The Rock? Comparison to past WWE eras and potential fallout if Triple H is ousted. [22:57] Sacrificing WrestleMania for Corporate Games? The possibility that WrestleMania’s main storylines were deliberately derailed for behind-the-scenes politics. Russo and Coach ponder whether sacrificing such a marquee event is part of a larger, orchestrated strategy. [26:35] The Vince McMahon Factor & WWE’s Next Moves Does TKO want to sever all McMahon associations if more scandals surface? Thoughts on Stephanie McMahon’s ESPN+ show, her WrestleMania presence, and how these moves insulate or isolate WWE power players. [29:27] Talent Torn: Picking Sides in a Corporate Civil War How the ongoing office drama forces wrestlers and staff to choose sides, risking their careers if they back the wrong person. [31:59] Fan Backlash: Ticket Prices, Rock No-Shows, & WWE Forgiveness Fans complain to Randy Orton about high prices, with viral moments and reactions dissected. Was The Rock’s absence a last-minute no-show or an intentional power play? [33:24] Wrestling’s Grudge Culture – Is This All a Receipt? Coach and Vince explore deep-seated grudges among wrestling’s top names and how old beefs drive current decisions. [37:04] Behind the Curtain: Wrestling Podcast Credibility & Writing Structure Russo compares the Attitude Era’s writing process to today’s chaos and addresses why “outsider” podcasts miss the full picture. [40:13] Hot Takes & Speed Round: Cody Heel Turn, Bianca’s Gimmick, and More Rapid-fire responses to audience super stickers: should Cody turn heel? Is Bianca’s character stale? Why small details (like The Rock’s absence from Roman’s entrance) matter. [46:02] What’s Next for Triple H? AEW, a New Promotion, or VKM Reunion? Possibilities if Triple H gets forced out: working with Tony Khan, launching his own company, or reconnecting with Vince McMahon. [50:01] TKO’s Broader Agenda: Creative Chaos & the Netflix Pivot New Netflix show signals WWE’s shift away from kayfabe, as Coach and Vince warn of an identity crisis contributing to fan alienation. [54:03] Paul Heyman’s Cringe Moments & WWE’s Tone-Deaf Booking Blowback from Paul Heyman’s roast and McAfee show appearance shows how WWE’s “inmates” are running the asylum.

00:00 – 00:04:00 The Coach sets the stage with Karrion Kross' viral promo after being excluded from WrestleMania, exploring the blurred lines between "shoot" and "work" in wrestling. Vince Russo breaks down the authenticity and raw emotion in Kross’ words, framing it as both a performance and real frustration with WWE management. 00:04:00 – 00:07:30 Deep dive into Kross' griping about creative's lack of appreciation for "good soldiers" and the downplaying of wrestling experience. The Coach and Russo debate how this promo reflects widespread locker room disunity, and possible repercussions for Kross' outspokenness. 00:07:30 – 00:12:34 Russo and The Coach critique recent questionable WrestleMania decisions—like Becky Lynch’s tag title win and Stone Cold Steve Austin’s odd attendance announcement. Anecdotes about behind-the-scenes chaos and execution missteps, including Stone Cold’s botched ATV entrance and mishandled crowd moments. 00:12:34 – 00:16:03 The duo laments overblown, lengthy entrances that ate into match time—a stat reveals more entrance and waiting time than wrestling on Night One. Discussion of "what-ifs," like pulling out Goldberg or Mickie James for surprise moments vs. WWE’s actual choices, analyzing why big stars didn’t appear and alternatives that would’ve created buzz. 00:16:03 – 00:23:26 Heavy criticism of Triple H’s creative leadership and how personal favoritism carries over from his wrestling career, affecting booking fairness and future prospects for talent. Reflection on how creative decisions are often driven by financial bottom lines post-TKO merger, impacting star appearances and story directions. 00:23:26 – 00:27:29 WrestleMania main event decisions dissected: why Travis Scott’s involvement, repeated “nut shot” finishes, and misplaced heat on Paul Heyman (instead of the wrestlers) derailed fan engagement. Broader point on WWE’s focus on spectacle over substance, referencing formulaic, repetitive finishers for big matches. 00:27:29 – 00:32:15 Fallout and fan reaction: dissecting The Rock’s absence, speculation about big-name post-Mania appearances, and the risk of losing core fan loyalty. The Coach shares how short-term wins (overflowing merch booths, huge attendance) might hurt long-term fan retention, comparing current risks to the WWE decline in the early 2000s. 00:32:15 – 00:39:32 The Coach and Russo urge AEW to capitalize on WWE’s strategic missteps, and reminisce about how writing excellence can change the game. Outrage over a lack of backstage segments/interviews at Mania—breaking from a storytelling staple. Concerns over Jey Uso’s championship celebration antics, Hack booking, and how public perceptions get shaped after these high-profile mistakes. 00:39:32 – 00:40:45 Final wrap-up: Coach, Russo, and crew encourage fans to tune in for instant post-Raw reactions, tease further breakdowns, and thank the lively, passionate audience for their engagement.…

00:00:20 – 00:01:41 | Introduction and WrestleMania Aftershock Coach welcomes listeners, promises a must-hear breakdown of WrestleMania Night 2, and immediately sets a somber tone by calling it “maybe the worst night WWE has ever had.” He teases the explosive analysis he and Vince Russo—drawing on their nearly 20 years combined WWE experience—are about to deliver. 00:01:42 – 00:03:55 | Russo’s Drastic Reaction: Is WWE Unwatchable? Vince Russo shares a candid, almost shocking confession: WrestleMania weekend was so distressing he crunched numbers that morning to see if he could retire—and stop covering WWE—nine months earlier than planned. He laments feeling exhausted, beaten down, and fed up as a lifelong fan and former insider. 00:03:56 – 00:05:45 | Main Event Disaster: Creative Misfires and Missing Superstars Coach critiques the WrestleMania main event, calling it slow and anticlimactic. He spotlights Travis Scott’s bizarre interference and The Rock’s weeks-long absence, speculating about major backstage turmoil as even superstar John Cena appears confused in public comments. 00:05:46 – 00:08:50 | Fans Duped? The Rock’s Vanishing Act and Ticket Fallout Russo and Coach discuss the implications of WWE hyping The Rock, then not delivering, despite inflated ticket prices. They dissect The Rock's radio silence on social media and question if there’s a deeper rift between The Rock, Triple H, and WWE creative. 00:08:51 – 00:13:29 | Triple H’s Ego, Hall of Fame Hijinks, and WWE Political Games Both pundits point to Triple H overwhelming the weekend with self-glorifying appearances, including a one hour, 47-minute Hall of Fame speech and a grand entrance overshadowing legends like Steve Austin and Bret Hart. Russo wonders if this is hubris or a setup for Triple H’s downfall. 00:13:30 – 00:15:26 | Fallout Among Legends and Fans: Triple H Takes Shots, Fans Revolt Coach and Russo note alienation among wrestling’s biggest legends and fans as Triple H continues to draw attention to himself and dismiss critics, even as fan dissatisfaction boils over. 00:15:27 – 00:18:29 | Did WWE Cross the Line with Its Audience? Is The Rock Making a Power Play? They question if WWE’s gamble—taking fan loyalty for granted and snubbing long-time supporters—has finally backfired. Coach floats a theory that The Rock might be flexing his power, perhaps even no-showing as a form of protest against management. 00:18:30 – 00:19:28 | Could The Rock Have No-Showed WrestleMania? Russo speculates about a possible last-minute no-show by The Rock, citing his pervasive silence as a telling indicator of deep issues within WWE. 00:19:29 – 00:21:29 | Social Media Snooping: The Rock’s Deafening Silence Coach examines The Rock’s Twitter, uncovering a suspicious three-day silence during the most pivotal time for WWE, fueling speculation of behind-the-scenes strife. 00:21:30 – 00:22:59 | John Cena’s Confusing Media Switch: Heel to Babyface Overnight Coach and Russo dissect John Cena’s post-event press handling, shifting between in-character heel and classic babyface in different public appearances—adding to the current WWE confusion. 00:23:00 – 00:24:56 | Taylor’s Cameo and Unfiltered Cena Comments Taylor cues up a video clip with Cena’s cryptic comments about a new era and taking the championship “home”—leaving everyone, including Coach and Russo, scratching their heads about WWE’s direction. 00:24:57 – 00:25:22 | Exhausted and Speechless: Russo Throws in the Towel Russo sums up the collective exhaustion and confusion, stating outright that trying to make sense of WWE right now is a lost cause.…
