WrestleMania Build Under Fire
SPEAKER_01Welcome, welcome, welcome again to another episode of From My Perspective. It is WrestleMania season. And I'm your boy Deion, and you know we gotta come to you with an Elimination Chamber prediction. Thank you guys for listening to another episode of From My Perspective. Go ahead, hit that like button. Go ahead, subscribe, and uh let us know how y'all feel about the WrestleMania Bill so far in the comment section because it's been ugly. But I'm joined by the man the myth, the legend himself, Captain Hater Q, how you doing?
SPEAKER_00Well, do what is you're another bastard boy, Mr. Bill. AKA say your name up on the spot. Might not put you to my idea. I'm here, man. Ready for Friday.
SPEAKER_01So, you know, yeah, I just shit it on the uh same, but I just hit on the WrestleMania bill so far. How do you feel about the WrestleMania bill? Because I feel like it's been pretty bad. Now it's not all, I don't think it's all on WWE. We've had some injuries, a lot of them. It looks like they're affected up some things. So pretty much the whole vision is on the injury reserve. But how do you feel about this bill so far? It's still early. We still got a little bit to go, but it's kind of ugly right now.
SPEAKER_00I feel as if it's ugly, but like you said, all the plans that they had for this went out the window because everybody got hurt. Everybody got hurt. It reminds me of Tyrese Halliburton, you know what I'm saying, in the finals. Everybody got hurt right at the end when it's time to close out the game, when it's time to close it out. Everybody got hurt. Tyrese got hurt when it was time to close it out. So then you got to pivot. It might not be that easy, it might not be that easy to pivot. Yep. When you won't when you won't play F and G. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because they definitely don't play F and G. Because I'm sure Seth Rollins was playing A, Braun Breaker playing B, Braun Sharedes was playing C.
SPEAKER_00Hey, old, uh Bianca was in there too.
Injuries Force WWE To Pivot
SPEAKER_01So our players have been thrown out the window. But again, Limited's Chamber is this Saturday. Smackdown is actually here where we at. So I'm expecting to get SmackDown. I will not be there. I'm in save mode, like I said before. I'm not spending any unnecessary money. I just I just want to put that out in the ether so I can know not to spend any more extra money. But um added to yourself, not to spend no bread. Gotta involve myself not to spend no bread. But Elimination Chamber is in Chicago this Saturday, February 28th at 7 a.m. Us we're doing our prediction, confident predictions. The match you have the most confidence in, you give your one or you give four. We got a couple prop bets in the Elimination Chamber match, but I gotta ask the question I always ask when we talk about these PLEs. February 28th, 7 p.m. You gonna watch live?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I ain't got nothing else to do. I'm looking forward to it. Drinking my drinking my cup with a little wrestling on the TV.
SPEAKER_01I'm looking forward to it too. Well before we get to the prediction, though, there's been a lot of discourse, there's been some nonsense with TKO. They have basically, not in the homes, not, but in a certain amount of radius in Chicago, they have blacked out watching uh elimination. So, in other words, there's no gonna be no watch party at bars or no basically bars won't be allowed to show elimination. You can still watch it at your crib. If I'll if if you're smart, if I'm in Chicago and I got a nice house, everybody else crib. Everybody over here. If it's a lot of people, you can go ahead and charge people like five dollars or something to come in if they care that much. But apparently they're doing this because they're not selling out. I don't understand why they think if you black it out at bars, that okay, that means they're gonna come to your show. I don't understand that logic. I don't, but is what they're doing. How do you feel about them blacking out bars and stuff from showing Illumination Chamber?
Chicago Bar Blackouts And Ticket Prices
SPEAKER_00Leagues have done this before, too, where you they black out local broadcasting or whatever the case may be if they're not doing the numbers. Big Smith Man did it once before early in his heyday. So I don't I understand it, I don't think it's a good idea. In the I think what TKO is not facing and whatnot, they're not realizing is your pricing is your problem. Fix your pricing, you wouldn't have this issue, you would be able to sell more tickets. That's this is what it boils down to. You can't I had this conversation earlier with somebody, and I said it's becoming the have and the have not in this country. A lot of people, it's gonna be people that have it, and then it's gonna be on this other side of the hill, the people that have not. TKO is charging for people that the people that have this, and then in this economy, people's making other decisions with their money. Like you, you saving because you got other things you want to do. You're not going to spend uh on money that's unnecessary. People's doing the same thing, but they making business decisions. Do I want to save for this trip or do I want to pay for these tickets? Do I want to put some more money in my savings account for a rainy day, or do I want to spend on these tickets? Some people are making the decision between food and these and these tickets, or whatever the case might be. TKO ain't realizing the economy that they in. Bring your ticket prices down, you will sell more tickets. I ain't seeing you making your tickets five hours. Yeah, but make your tickets a reasonable price, you will sell more tickets. It's really that simple. This stuff ain't it ain't really complicated sometimes.
SPEAKER_01I agree 100%. I don't I don't understand, like I said, I don't get why they're doing it. Well, but you said these these business, it's been a business model before. It's gonna blow up the face. They already said they're gonna do it for um the WrestleMania. I'm gonna hate on that when we get close to it. There's no way in hell they should be going back to Las Vegas after they went there last year. I hate on that more when we get closer to it. Your ticket sales is in the toilet for WrestleMania too, but like you said, has not in no WrestleMania tickets. It's gonna cost you at least about$800 to watch it with Eddie Guerrero.
SPEAKER_00That's just for you. I was gonna say, and then why'd you go back? Vegas is struggling. So Vegas is overpriced and everything. But like you said, we hate on that closest to the town. And then we wonder why people don't want to go to Vegas. Because the cost of going to Vegas, then add on the cost of the tickets. But it's go our go whole economics conversation. It's kind of like ESPN when they was they chart, they was struggling with YouTube TV because they wanted a higher, a higher price, a higher revenue from the YouTube TV to broadcast ESPN. But ESPN is paying all of their talent these crazy amounts of dollars and giving these crazy amounts to the NFL and the MLB to broadcast this stuff, but then you ain't making a return on it. I'm not saying nobody shouldn't get their money, but you should maybe have more realistic salaries for some of your owner talent because all they're doing is calling X amount of games. But anyways, that's a whole other conversation.
SPEAKER_01So, yeah, let's go ahead and go into the confident point prediction again. Match you have the most confident win, you get four points. And match you have the least confidence in, you give one. Let's go ahead and start with the men's chamber. Um, with the participants, uh Jay Uso, which apparently he was not supposed to be in, it was supposed to be Bronson Reed. Uh Getwell suited Bronson Reed and looked like a freak injury. Javon Evans, Trick Williams, Randy Orton, Cody Rose, LA Knight. Before I ask you for your prediction, this is obviously for the winner of this will be facing Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. But there's been some rumors going around that it's going to be some type of multi-man match. And we said it before the pod. How do you, we don't know how you get to a multi-man match when you have an elimination chamber to determine number one contending. I'm not gonna lie, if I'm in the elimination chamber and I win it, and you add more people to that match, I'm hot. Because the elimination chamber is, obviously, it's a scripted event, but it's supposedly one of the most dangerous matches in WWE. It's up here with hell in the cell. They they're on part with danger level of how it's portrayed. Don't let me win an Elimination match to get become the number one contender, get a one-on-one opportunity at the WWE world title, and you know you're gonna add more people, I'll be fired up. I'll be fired up. So, how do you feel about them potentially making that a multi-man match?
Confidence Picks: Men’s Chamber Stakes
SPEAKER_00You gotta put budget sheets. I think it's a good idea from that sense, from the sense of you're gonna make your elimination chamber. If you do it, you're gonna ruin your elimination chamber match going forward because it don't hold the same weight, it doesn't mean the same thing. Unless they do something crazy in the booking on Saturday, whatever the case, if unless they unless they do that, it's going to ruin the what it's gonna ruin ruin the allure of the elimination chamber match. Because okay, yeah, what you have won last year, but end up being a multi-man match. So from that perspective, I think it's a bad idea. But just from the perspective of what's the storyline? What's the storyline you're gonna build? Because honestly, it's only for me to put butts in seats as well as have a good storyline, there's only one outcome that actually makes sense.
SPEAKER_01We'll get to that. Uh, but Drew McIntyre, he's been beefing with pretty much everybody, everybody in this in this match, except for I don't think he's had an interaction with Javon Evans, but everybody else, he's had interaction with them, and he's had interaction with Trick, Randy, and Cody recently, and Jay Uso he's got forever beef with them for what happened in the pandemic earlier. But I'm gonna go ahead and go first. I got Cody Rose winning this match with three. I don't see who else wins it. I would like to see, you know, maybe a trick Williams or Javon Evans win it. I don't think they will. I think they have a bit showing. But I got Cody with three wouldn't mind an LA night either, but ain't no telling what he's gonna do at WrestleMania. Okay.
SPEAKER_00So I said, but's the season storyline, all right? Drew and Cody we have seen so many times. Only way that makes sense is if you do hell in the cell. But the build for to get to WrestleMania is gonna turn so many people off that by the time you get to WrestleMania and they do hell in the cell, it's it's gonna be done with. Jay ain't getting it. Yeah, he knows he's supposed to be the match. He ain't supposed to be in the match, so Jay ain't getting it. Also, how you gonna have Jay in it? He gotta he's I'm assuming he's gonna defend these uh tag team titles. I'm assuming. You feel me? I would hope so. I would hope the case, but that leaves LA Knight and Randy Gordon. What's the storyline with LA Knight? Because I feel like LA Knight would get the LA Knight would get the crowd going. He'll get buttons he'll get busting seats. He'll that's what I'm saying. He'll get the busting seats, he'll get the crowd going, but what's the storyline?
SPEAKER_01Because he's on raw. He's got SmackDown.
SPEAKER_00There's no interactions. Randy Orton, you know he's gonna put busting seats. Yeah, that's the storyline dirt as well, because they have history. That's why I said to me, it's really only one outcome because in fact, if you push, if you do the Cody thing, it's like, bro, leave us alone with the Cody thing. You know what I'm saying? It Roman had that long title ring, and it got boring at some point. It got boring at some point, but it also it did still feel like it was a thing. Cody don't feel like a thing, so I think I don't think Cody should win it. I think the person, the best person to win it is Randy Orton. Okay, how confident you are you in that? I didn't say I was going Randy Orton, I said I think he was the best person to win. Okay. That being said, I'm gonna I'm gonna give Triple Hn some some credit here. I'm going LA night with one.
SPEAKER_01All right, LA one. I would love it, it would work. They could they could work on that bill. Because one thing we also do know, well, we know what night two main event is gonna be. It's gonna be C but we'll get to him in a second, and Roman Reigns. That night, so night one main event is up in the air. It could be whoever wins this match against Drew McIntyre or most men match, or we'll talk about the women's chamber, it could be that. When we'll talk about live in a second, it could be that. It's up in the air. So they got some work to do to figure out people gonna be fired for that night one main event. Night two main events are already in the in the book. So all right, but let's go ahead and slide to speaking to CM Punk. He has a match in his hometown, Elimination Chambers in Chicago against Finn Ballard. Uh, I got punk with four. Judgment days gonna cost Finn. Is there any more we need to say here? No, I got punk with four.
SPEAKER_00It's over.
SPEAKER_01Punk with four. Uh, before we start going through the other two matches, there's this mysterious box that's been chewing up. It's supposed to be revealed what that box is this Saturday. It's scheduled to be open this Saturday. There were some rumors it's Chris Jericho. Uh so there's some rumors it was Dan Housen. If you don't know who Dan Housen is, he's just a comedic relief character that was on AW. Friends with CM Punk, potentially him. I've heard some other things. I don't know what could be. At first I thought it was probably Chris Jericho. I feel like that's a Chris Jericho thing to do, but I'm gonna go with the comedic relief and Dan Housing. What you think is in this mysterious box?
SPEAKER_00I'm hoping it's Dan Houser. I'm hoping it's him. That's who I want it to be. So I see he was just doing the interview uh today. He got kicked out of uh he had kicked out of his Uber because he was doing the interview. Uh I I'm going with Dan Houser because that's who I want it to be because the Chris Jericho thing, I think it needs to, I think it needs to die down because everybody was expecting their rumble, and then it's like everybody's just sitting on the edge of their seat waiting on Chris Jericho to pop up. Let's make everybody wait.
SPEAKER_01Yep. So I'm he can come um Raw After Manny. I think that'd be a big spot for Chris Jericho. He's a big enough star.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So yeah, I'm gonna go with uh Dan House as well.
Multi‑Man Rumors And Booking Consequences
SPEAKER_01All right, all right. Next match also, uh, I don't believe it's her hometown. I don't even think that's where she resides at, but she's the husband of CM Punk, who is his son. So by proxy, fan favorite, AJ Lee. She's gonna be challenging Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title. Little shocked at this season at WrestleMania. I do have a from our perspective, uh, it's potentially could get re-ran at WrestleMania for sure, possibly, but I got AJ Lee winning it. Because it's in Chicago, and I got AJ Lee with one, though. So I'm not that confident in it. But just because it's in Chicago, I got AJ winning it.
SPEAKER_00I got AJ Lee with three because that's she gonna she's gonna win the Intercontinental Championship, and then she's gonna drop it at WrestleMania.
SPEAKER_01All right, next up is the women's chamber match, which is confusing. Uh, this one is the potential who's gonna face Jay Cargill. Liv Morgan, she made a decision she's gonna be facing Stephanie Vikure. Uh how you feel about that decision from Liv Morgan?
SPEAKER_00I feel like it was a decision that we knew was coming. It's also a good decision. It looked like at one point they were trying to do the double, the double turn, make Stephanie a heel and make a Liv a baby face. Liv needs to be a heel. Yep, she's better as a heel. She needs to be here. Let's not let's not maybe you could book her as a tweener, but let's not force it. And then Stephanie, if y'all won't turn her heel, cool, but don't do it this time.
SPEAKER_01Nah, wait, wait till after WrestleMania. But uh the participants in the Women's Elizabeth Chamber, Keanu James, first time appearance. She's been she's been showcased a lot here lately. Asuka, Raquel Rodriguez, uh Alexa Bliss, Real Ripley, and Tiffany Stratton. Again, the winner of this is going to be facing Jay Cargill, which y'all need to have a defense. Y'all, she's dead in the water. She ain't been defending her title. She doesn't look like a star like she should be. Have these people just defend their title, man? Just give them somebody to defend their title against. Come on, please and thank you.
SPEAKER_00The problem with Jay was the people that she was supposedly potentially going to defend against and book against, both of them got hurt. Me Can and B Fail. So then they had to they had they had again injuries. They had to pivot, then they had to build up some with build up something with Jordan Grace. They was giving her mid car people to build up her reign. But then those people got hurt.
SPEAKER_01So then probably a potential probably WrestleMania opponent you know with a finger injury. So yeah, it's been tough self-selling for them. But I I I it's it's weird because you know, Rhea Ripley, she's the fan favorite, but she's the tag chimps. Uh Sky Pirate. Uh Kyrie Sang. Kyrie Sane. Tripping. Kyrie Sane and obviously EOSK and Rhea Ripley, she got some beef with them. Alexa Blills, Liz, her storyline is with her tag partner, Charlotte Flair. That that might explode here eventually or not. But I know the tag match at WrestleMania is gonna be packed with a bunch of tag teams, and I think a couple of these women will probably be in it. Raquel, she she has a story, but she's also busy with Lil Morgan's story. She's still a side character in that story as a nail, but we'll see where that goes. Kelly J, she's just the same as Javon Adams. She's young, she's gonna showcase. Ain't her time yet, but hopefully she has a good showing. Even though Tiffany Stratton, she's she just came back and she doesn't feel like she has any excitement behind her. I believe it's her. I think she's your only best best. I'm going with Tiffany with two.
SPEAKER_00So Jay Cargill is a heel. They can't do heel versus heel. They can, but they don't. They can, but not with Jay. It's you she ain't there yet. You can't do hill versus hill yet with Jay. So that takes out all of the heels.
SPEAKER_01That's not putting buttons and seats for me. I'm just going to hold you. It probably would have last year, but not this year.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I ain't 100% sure she's a baby face or she's here. I don't know. It seemed like Tiffany Straight and Jake Cargett should be a tag team.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I can see that. I feel like Charlotte Flair was the answer, but they didn't go with Charlotte Flair. So I feel like it's between Rhea and Alexa. Bliss. I'm going to I'm going with Rhea with two. I don't know how that's gonna work with them holding the tag team titles. I'll be able to just do a quick drop, you know what I'm saying? Before WrestleMania. But it's also an real to, you know, fight back to back nights. Yeah, it's not so but it's I don't see them. I just I feel like the popular choice in butts and seats is real.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that'll that'll put more butts in seats for sure.
SPEAKER_00Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be mad at Alexa Bliss versus Jay Fargio. And then maybe you have Charlotte Fleur. But Charlotte Fleur is killing the baby face run right now, so I don't think it's time to turn her. He'll keep them going. So, but yeah, no, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Rhea with two.
SPEAKER_01Rio Two? Well uh ProBats, which match you think maybe the C Punk, Finn, or the Men's Chamber from my remote. All right, men's Chamber. It is uh uh just to be different. I'm gonna go with CM Punk. Not confident in it, but just to be different. Uh, who you think will be the first two in the men's chamber and the last two? So you already got um LA Knight winning. Who do you think is gonna be the last with him? First two, and who's gonna be with LA Knight at the last?
SPEAKER_00Javon and Trick. Oh Cody and LA is the last two.
SPEAKER_01I'm going to retweet your first two. I wrote it down before, uh, Javon and Trick. But I got Cody and Randy, and I got Cody winning. Um for the first two, for the women, from my perspective, I got I Oscar and uh Oscar and uh Alexa Bliss. And then for the winners, I got Tiffany and Rhea for the last two.
The Mystery Box: Danhausen Or Jericho
SPEAKER_00First two, I wanna go Kiana. I don't know who the I'ma go Oscar because she's we talk about how great EO is, Oscar's right there on that level too. Um the last two I got Rio win in, so I'm gonna go with I'ma go with Alexa.
SPEAKER_01Alexa Rhea. So that is our confidence point prediction for Elimination Chamber that is in Chicago, 7 p.m. We'll both be watching live with our dope beverages, but we got one more thing to talk about with WWE. And on Monday, it was a it was a bad show. I didn't because of all the injuries, unfortunately, for from with the injuries and stuff that went on. It wasn't a great show, but it ended with a tearjerker with AJ Styles with his farewell tour. He's officially done. He basically said he's not wrestling. He said he potentially he probably will. Maybe he said never say never, but he's done for a while. Also seen reports that he signed a basically a new deal he's gonna be helped develop in the future. So he'll probably be in the performance center down there in XT doing stuff. But he also, Undertaker has been given the Ed McMahon role of the NFL Hall of Fame for the WWE Hall of Fame. He gave AJ Styles news that he would be going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. So right now just Stephanie and AJ, those the only two that's been announced. We'll probably get like three or more, I'm assuming. But AJ now AJ Styles announced for WWE Hall of Fame. Um assuming you either watched or saw the clips. What was your reaction for AJ 10-year WWE career? No, he's a first ballot Hall of Famer, technically.
SPEAKER_00I love the fact that he was that AJ was surprised because Undertaker was like, you know, me and you get up in this business. And AJ was like, bro, I ain't not getting back in this right. Do you not see all my stuff there? What are you what's going on? What are you talking about? I love how Undertaker swerved him. So yeah, no, um, it was a great moment. It was great. He deserved that moment. I think the question is, is John Cena not going in the Hall of Fame this year? I don't think so. Not this year. Do you think that's a John Cena choice or a WWE choice? I think it's a hey, I'm busy, let's not do it this year. Okay, so it's a John Cena choice. Yeah, but they will want John Cena to abduct AJ.
SPEAKER_01He might, but he probably will. Either him or the good brothers, I can see it being them since they were on the show. They was on they under contract with somebody else, right?
SPEAKER_00It's just uh WWE being nice. It ain't gonna be them.
SPEAKER_01Uh I personally, from our perspective, sexually it's not gonna happen because he signed with the ops.
AJ Lee vs Becky Title Debate
SPEAKER_00You know, I already know who you got to say. Some more Joe.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, some more Joe. I would like it to be, but it's not gonna be. But yeah, congratulations to AJ Styles. Enjoy retirement. Enjoy, you know, you gotta you're still getting paid, you get still getting that WWE money, you're gonna be, you know, help developing the next generation, but you're also gonna be a father. I know that means a lot to him, so congratulations to AJ Styles for going into the 2026 Hall of Fame with Stephanie McMahon. Um, you got any idea who else these uh other people could be? You know, probably they probably got two to three more people they're gonna announce.
SPEAKER_00No, I can't I can't think of nobody else. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Because it's gotta be because I don't know. They said it was Stephanie as the headliner, she's not I think AJ would be the closest. God bless her. She's a Hall of Fame worthy character person, I guess. I guess. AJ Styles is my headliner. I don't see, unless they somehow get John Cena in this year's Hall of Fame, AJ Styles the Hall is the headliner. You don't need so it's gotta be somebody less than AJ Styles per se.
SPEAKER_00It's probably it's probably somebody that I hate to say it, we forgot about that's in a different era. And that's the Hall of Fame worthy. So yeah.
SPEAKER_01But we'll see. But congratulations to AJ Styles. That'll do it for another episode of From Our Pers From Our Perspective. Thank you again for watching and listening to us.
