about GlowRoot and diagnosing problems is that GlowRoot only gives you part of the solution, all right? If you're troubleshooting, trying to find out particular issues, there are exactly three places you need to be looking, right? You need to be looking at the application itself and GlowRoot is a good way to look at it. You need to be looking at the database, what's happening on the database. Again, MoonIn gives you a very good idea of what your basic database health is looking like. But the other thing is the proxy, right? Your proxy is creating access logs and the proxy access logs are full of very, very important information, both for kind of generating reports at the end of the day, tracking down particular trouble spots and often you need to look both at your access log file on the one hand and what your GlowRoot is telling you on the other hand and trying to correlate those things to get a full picture of what's going on. Let's talk a little bit about the access log. There's a default access log and in addition to the default access log, I've created a slightly modified access log and it's modified basically in two ways. I want to modify it a little bit further in fact, but at the moment it's modified in two ways. First of all, instead of the standard Apache common log format as they call it, it's actually the same thing that Nginx, we also use at the Apache common log format, which is space separated. I've made it tab separated, like mine you can see here, so there's the IP address these two. I think that would be the username if you're using basic auth, something else I can't remember. It's the timestamp on the request. This is the request itself, Povax 503, that's the error code. 299, that's the number of bits returns. This is the, what do we call the referer, the page with the request has come from. This is the user agent, well we've been talking about the user agent string, so this request is actually coming from an uptime robot as you can see. And this last number here, this is the request time. So I modified the default format to produce this alternative format, which is tab separated instead of space separated. It's just easier to process that way and includes the request time, how long the request took. This slide on Apache, the request time by default comes out in microseconds. In Gen X, I think the request time is in milliseconds, you need to remember that when you're processing files. One of the reasons for doing this is that this format is much faster and easier to parse than parsing the default format. Because you don't see tabs anywhere else except between fields, it's a much better field delimiter to use. And one of the tools that's best used for processing data that's in columns besides Excel or putting them into a database, which you can also do. In fact, I've done it myself, I must confess. You can take the log file in this format and you can load it up, read it into Excel and then pivot around on things and have fun. But the real tool of choice, I guess, for dealing with column data like this in the Unix world at least is using something called orc. A lot of people are familiar with grep. Grep is one of the command line tools that's great for searching through log files for things. Orc is kind of a little bit like grep on steroids. It can do everything that grep can do, but also quite a bit more, particularly when your data is nicely sliced up into columns like this. I've got a little quote off the internet that's a bit pithy, but it's very true. I think the real reason for learning Orc, in fact, is to have an excuse to read this very, very nice book. It's not new. Orc's been around for a while. The K in Orc is from Richard Kernigan, the author of The Sea Language. Written in 1988, the Orc programming language. It's very easy to read. In fact, you only need the first 50 pages. The first 50 pages teaches you pretty much most things that you need to know to process files in Orc. I'm going to give you a couple of examples here of looking at an actual log file and how you can use Orc to make your process of investigating it a little bit more flexible. Maybe before we do that, I'll just show you the book. If you don't learn anything else from this academy, if you come away from it, having learned 10 pages worth of Orc, you know, benefited hugely, because the book is very old out of copyright. I think that's the link there. Thank you to very famous Orc programming book written by these three fellows here. Take it down a little bit. Yeah, read the first chapter. Read the first chapter. That'll probably teach you most of what you need to know in the first 10 pages. It's not very long. It's about 160 pages. It explains to you the basics of Orc. It's much better than any of the odd tutorials and things that you find out there on the internet. Go to the original Orc book, but let me just show you a few things to motivate. So we spend a little bit of time looking at this log file and maybe leave, I don't know, 15 minutes at the end to take any questions people might have in the reference to the assignment that you all have coming up. Okay. So let's look at a log file. First, I put one in the tab here. Martin, I hope you don't mind this. I hope people in Laos don't mind. This is an old log file that I actually have from Laos. It doesn't have any identifiable information in it. And we're not going to look in great detail in the log file anyway, just using it as an example. So the log file here, perf.log, all right, you'll find this under et cetera, Apache 2, or no, under var logs, Apache 2, perf.log. You can create exactly the same format also with engine X. So it's not Apache specific. The first thing is how to look at a compressed log file. Well, when this comes back a little bit to my talk on databases the other day, I mean, one thing we could do, we could just zip the log file like that. But I don't know. The problem with doing that is I'm just going to unzip what's potentially a very large file onto my disk.  There's no need to unzip it onto the disk because gzip is a nice format. It's quite different to zip in the sense that it's a stream compression rather than a zip is kind of a combination of compression and packaging. It's useful. You can zip a number of files together whereas gzip simply takes a stream and compresses it. So you can decompress the stream on the fly without necessarily writing anything to the file system. Normally, when you're looking at a text file, you'll cat it. But if it's a compressed text file, if you zcat it, it's going to dump it. I don't really want to dump it. This is a pattern you'll see often. We'll slow it down. Whatever we dump, we'll pipe it into less and then we'll see it a couple of lines at a time. So we can see inside the compressed file, we don't have to unzip it onto the file system. It wouldn't make much of a difference in this case because it's not a very big file, but sometimes these files are quite enormous. Okay, so this is an example of the perflog format, similar to what you've seen on the slide. Basically, you've got all of those fields, they're tab separated. So one of the kind of things that we can do with all, we can pick up the zcat, dump it into orc. And one of the first things that we want to do is tell orc that field separator is tab. Now, goodbye default orc is going to assume that the field separator is a space. So we have to tell it the field separator is a tab.  Here's the simplest orc program we can write. We write an orc program to print out a line, print $0, basically it's got a whole line. So this is an orc program that does nothing at all really. It's going to take the output of the perflog and simply print it out again. That's not very exciting. It's just got us back to where we were. We can take advantage now of the fact that orc understands that this data is arranged in columns. So it knows $0 is a sort of special column identity if I refer to the whole line. But if I just, I know that my IP addresses are in $1. Let's print just $1. Now you're seeing I'm pulling all the IP addresses out of the file. This in itself can be a useful thing to do if you want to find out how many unique IP addresses have accessed your server. I don't know if any UNIX gurus on here want to volunteer the best way to do that. Basically what I would do, I would use orc to cut the first field out. I can then sort. That sort will take quite a long time because there's quite a lot of quite a lot of IP addresses in here I think. So let's wait a little bit. Orc is very quick. Sort is very quick and now you can see we've sorted the IP addresses. 18 is a busy one, there's 101. So just taking that out, putting them into sort allows me to arrange them all in order. Having arranged them all in order, then use this little program called UNIX. UNIX will now get rid of all the duplicates. Let's see what we have left there. And now we've got UNIX, all the UNIX IP addresses. Arranged in order. We don't need to arrange it. The only reason we need them arranged in order is so that we could remove duplicates with UNIX. Now we can take that further and sum up the number of lines. WC stands for word counts. Word counts take some options. Word counts minus L will count lines. So the little pipeline there, little pipeline there is going to tell us that on this server for the log file for that day, there was 833 unique IP addresses. It's just one little development I guess from here. We can use ORC to pull out a particular column. This column is pulling out IP addresses. Looking at some of the other columns is interesting as well. Sometimes I have to keep them back and be looking at the file itself. Let's count them. So number one was the IP address. Number two is the time date stamp. Number three, four. Number five is the request. Number five is the request. Number six will be the response code. So I might want to do something like this. The response code seven, eight looks like it's the... Let's look at five and six. If we just look at field number five and six, that's going to show us the request and the response. One of the things that we did, this is now one step beyond the very simplest ORC. Very simplest ORC prints out the whole line. Take it a little step further and we can pick out particular columns to print out. But we might only be interested in requests for events, for example. We might want to pick out everything to do with PHIS API events. Now we know we can do this with graph. We don't need to use graph because we can also do it like this. You can put a pattern in here. We're going to have to escape these. And now, basically, I'm only going to be pulling out all the requests for API events and their response codes. Fortunately, this server looks quite healthy. We're all getting lots of 200 response codes. Looking at the response codes itself is an interesting thing to do. The response codes are six. The response codes are six. A good indicator of that your server is performing well is if it's responding to most requests with the 200 or 300, but not 400s and not 500s. So it can be useful to look at your log file and find out how many, what kind of errors you're getting. I got a nice little, this is now more complicated. I've got it here. Let's take one and examine this in a little bit of detail. Actually, we would save that one. That was more complicated. Let's do a slightly simpler one first. Remember, I did say that we have just removed the filter for the moment. We have a field, we'll put it on to the default format. I think it's a field number 10. Let's just whack it on here. It is the request time. I can see this is a request time. We've actually converted the request time into seconds. I might be interested in just the slow request. All these requests that we can see here are actually being handled very quickly. If I'm interested in all the requests which take less than a second or less than five seconds, they may be the ones that I actually want to investigate further. You can put again a pattern to match the frontier, either a regular expression pattern like we did earlier, regular expression pattern used between slashes like that, but you can also put a numeric condition. So I want to say, show me all the lines in my log where the request processing time was greater than 10 seconds. Do we have any of those? I wonder. We wish we don't, but what do we do? Yeah, we have quite a few. Look at these. This was an example where there was obviously a lot of trouble going on with API events and API me in there also. It must have been to do with some kind of blocking, I think. Anyway, you can see here that we can filter out as we're now looking at all the requests which have taken longer than in seconds to execute. Why don't we sort them? Let's sort them and then we can look at what our top-running requests are sorting. Again, just like before, I can not put it that line. Let's make it a bit simpler. I'm not really interested for the moment in the response code. So just the time and the request itself. Yeah, so there's the first field and the second field. Let's flip it around. Don't flip it around. Keep it where it is. No, flip it around. I want to get... Let's put time on the front. Let's look at the request time and the request itself. Okay, we've seen the time along the front. It's a little bit easier to sort this way. Let's sort those. I don't know, we get an idea of... Oops, I'll push it into less. Sort, sort, put a few switches on. Sort them numerically and sort in reverse. Okay, I'm upside down. Let's look at the long ones first and make sure they're treated. Oh, there we can see. There's some horrible ones. 200 seconds. This was a server that was suffering. I think many of you have been in a position where you're looking at servers which are suffering. Possibly this was a case where needed to do some rate limiting or something else. Ah, you can see the problem in this straight away. Okay, this thing is using skip paging. This thing is using skip paging equals true. What's that about? It's not saying paging equals false. Oh, it's skip paging equals true. It's not a bad thing. Usually I see paging equals true or paging equals false. Skip paging. I'm not too sure what that means in the API. Anyway, here we can see just with a very quick little one line up. We pulled out the request time and the request and sorted in order. So you're seeing your very longest requests here. And it's fairly obvious looking at this server that if you're going to look anywhere for where it's suffering or where it's in need of some attention, it's on API track to the instances. These are requests on API track and posts as well. Interesting enough. And events. There's a number of URLs here which are resulting in long delays. Some of these are possibly effects rather than causes because the server perhaps was being completely overwhelmed in which case it's becoming very slow responding to anything. That's a way of basically doing two things very simply. One is to match lines in your log file. For example, there's a numeric match, the other kind of matching we've seen. We can do a regular expression match. And the other thing that it allows you to do is to refer to the different fields of your log as $1, $2, $3, etc. As I said, that allows you to do quite a lot of interesting things. Book itself, if you read the book, is a lot more than that. It's a lot more than just matching and printing lines. So probably this is 80% of what you use or for most of the time. It's just like a more sophisticated way of doing it than just using grep. But it can do much more. The structure of an orc program, if you like, actually is in three parts. There's a gin section, and then there's this section here, which is match an expression and then do something on the line. And then there's an end section. And I've got a little example here that somewhere in my history makes use of all of those sections. Let's see if I can find it again. It's one I was going to show you the first time. Let's do grep. Yeah, it's here. This is quite a nice example of using a little bit more functionality. You can see it is almost like more of programming language. Okay, I'm going to try to explain this one for you. And first of all, I have a ZCAT because I've got a compressed log file. Okay, so I'm going to ZCAT my log file into orc. My orc is going to count events. For some reason, I can't remember why I was running this initially, but I basically want to look at what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to find out what the result of putting two events are. How many are resulting in a 200, in a 300, in a 500. So basically, I'm filtering here on API events. And then for each line matches API events, right? For each line, a greater variable here called status, it's actually what's called I guess an associative array where I'm taking the $6, which you might remember $6 is the status code.  So I'm creating an associative array called status and incrementing the count for each status code that's coming in. And then I've got an end block to my orc program, which will just run through that associative array and print out the values of them all. Basically, what this does fairly quickly, I hope, is run through all of my puts to API events and tell me how they all ended up, right? So I got 2408, I got 69401s, 1666302s. Quite this shows my rate limited was at work here, right? 28,000 requests got results rate limited. But in the process, 371,000 requests actually got through. This kind of little orc break this little breakdown is very useful. If you're, if you decided to implement rate limiting and you want to know what effect it's having, right? This gives you a very quick, easy indication. You can see most of the requests are getting through some of them are getting rate limited. What you might find if there was no rate limiting, and I seem to remember in this case exactly what was happening. If there was no rate limiting at all, then the number of 200s was actually much less than that. But we were getting more errors, right? More 503s or more. I can't even remember what all the error codes were. So it's quite hard to get this kind of information easily and visually, but you can see here it's quite a simple little one liner really that pulls the information line by line out of the log file, puts them into an array and then just loops through the array and prints out the results. Learning orc is good for your health, particularly if you're looking at log files. As I said, you could do all of this in an Excel spreadsheet, but I'd have it done in orc before you've even got your spreadsheet up and running. The other advantage of doing it in orc, of course, is that it now lends itself to being scripted. You could run this as a cron job every morning, right? So you can have a look in the morning what the performance has been like during the day. As I say, the best way to learn orc is to read the first 10 pages of that little book rather than listening to me giving you little examples. I'm going to put some of my examples up here so that you can look at them. I'm going to put them onto the resources channel on Slack.


Hi, how are you doing? This is Rich here on behalf of RichTVLive and I'm here with a very special guest. It's Jen Lauder, the Chief Revenue Officer of NetSense. How are you doing today? Not too badly. Thanks for having me. Oh, thank you for being here. Why don't we get right into it and you can tell us a little bit about NetSense. Absolutely. NetSense is the underlying technology that powers cryptocurrency transactions. We've built an entire ecosystem to bridge the gap to the next evolution of payments. We've got our merchant gateway. We have our user portal and we have our NetSense exchange. What really sets us apart is how that ecosystem works and the fact that we're publicly traded. We're fully audited. We receive bank-level or bank-equivalent compliance on our audit as well as bank-level compliance on the KYC process we have in-house. Wow, that's great. That's good to hear. Now some investors may be worried about investing in another digital play. What makes your product different and a safe bet? Absolutely. There's a number of things. We've been around for a long time. We weathered that first storm where we saw lots of companies come in that didn't actually have a business model. What you saw after that first crypto winter was the companies that didn't have anything behind them disappear and the companies with a real business model actually start to flourish. We're seeing huge growth in our transactions, merchants, partners. We're integrated into all of the top POS and terminal devices. We've signed over 35 partnerships to date and on all of the key metrics that we use to track success we are not only meeting but exceeding our targets. Wow, that's impressive. Now NetSense you just mentioned has over 35 partnerships. What does that mean for the consumer? When we evaluated the best way to go to market and where merchants and the future adoption would happen when the tipping point comes we realized it was by integrating into the traditional payment space. We've signed partnerships with the top gateways, processors, ISOs, ISVs so that we now have an effective sales force of thousands of sales agents promoting to an active book of merchants so that we could really leapfrog our growth stage so that we weren't having to sign merchants individually but we were actually able to sign one contract and have access to half a million merchants. What that also shows is our tech has been looked at by people in the payments industry that have been around for 20, 30 years and they're willing to move forward and integrate with us as their crypto provider. That's great. Now having a big team and having a good team is vital to success for a company. How does your team make NetSense so successful? We've got a really strong experienced executive team as well as the entire team. Clayton, our CEO has got 20 years experience in the payment industry. Our president and CEO Gord Jessup has been in compliance, risk, finance. I've worked at some of the top agencies in North America driving innovative campaigns for marketing and sales, for growth and partnerships and our CTO Mattis got over 20 years experience as well bringing new products to market. That's great. That sounds like a great leadership team. Now, who are some of your main competitors and what makes NetSense different and unique? We've really got one main competitor and two that are on our radar. The largest competitor out there is BitPay. BitPay has been around the longest. They built their platform in the early 2010s. The biggest difference between our platform and theirs is ours was built to be agnostic whether that's wallet or whether that's cryptocurrency. With BitPay you can only do Bitcoin transactions and you have to have a Bitcoin or a BitPay protocol wallet. With ours merchants can accept any cryptocurrency that we currently support. We can add any cryptocurrency in a matter of days and we accept payments from any crypto wallet. Wow, that's really impressive. I like that. I used to have BitPay and then they stopped taking customers from Canada. Our actual number one source of merchant direct signups is people that processed with BitPay. Okay, very good. Now, where do you see NetSense heading into the future? Really, our goal and our ultimate strategy isn't to sign merchants and onboard it. We really want to be and we're aiming to be the underlying technology that powers cryptocurrency transactions and just being the tech. You can see where we're going with our current partnership strategy. We're integrating into traditional payments companies and they're taking our technology and using it as the rails for crypto. That's where we see ourselves in five years is just the underlying technology. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, I wish you the best of luck. I know all of our members will be watching all over the world. Once again, thank you guys for watching. This is Rich from Rich2VLive with the CRO, Chief Revenue Officer of NetSense, Jen Louther. Thank you.


Nevertheless, WWE managed to pay her a bag of $25,000 just to read the attendance number that night. Jonathan Coachman told his story during an interview on ESPN Radio and apparently she had a hard time remembering the number and needed a card. WrestleMania 27 What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back again with another video so check out 30 minutes of shocking but 100% true WWE WrestleMania facts. tomorrow night 1 and then on Sunday night 2 I'm looking forward to it I can't wait to see some of y'all during the WrestleMania watch party we're having at the movie theaters this year it's gonna be a great time so it's only fitting to check out another WrestleMania related video and we're gonna check out some shocking facts some or some situations that we probably didn't know if you did know that's cool if you didn't know about some of these situations or these factoids then you know this makes this video that much better because you learned something so we're gonna check this out should be a good one appreciate all love support man 30 minutes of some WrestleMania facts I'm all for it let's get right into this one 30 minutes of the most shocking WrestleMania facts Chris Benoit was considered for a WrestleMania 11 role and heading into WrestleMania 11 WWE advertised that Owen Hart would receive a mystery partner although our various room is being thrown around and Chris Benoit was considered for a WrestleMania 11 role and heading into WrestleMania 11 WWE advertised that Owen Hart would receive a mystery partner although our various room is being thrown around and one of the names being considered was actually Chris Benoit during an old edition at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Dave Meltzer reported they announced two more matches for Mania Luger and Davey Boy Smith versus Blue Brothers and Guns defending against Owen Hart and a mystery partner no word on who it is but do know that they are or were interested in it being Chris Benoit and shooting them immediately to the top of the tag team division in the end WWE opted to book Yokozuna's Hart's tag partner and the two embarked on a highly acclaimed run as a tag team combination the original WrestleMania 29 main event the original plans for WrestleMania 29 were always for the Rock to walk into WrestleMania as WWE champion however instead of the Rock winning the WWE title from CM Punk at the 2013 Rumble you would have won the title at that year's Elimination Chamber event additionally according to the Rock during a 2016 interview the original plans for the main event of WrestleMania 29 were to see the Rock, John Cena and Punk collide in a triple threat match this is what fans as well as Punk were pushing for but obviously Vince McMahon had other ideas and decided to proceed with a rematch between the Rock and Cena fans were injured ah bro that match would have been so much better and it would have been a little bit more unpredictable so you're telling me we could have got a John Cena a CM Punk and a Rock triple threat match that she would have been fucking fire bro that she would fire get WrestleMania 24 as his WrestleMania 24 was going off the air the Undertaker was celebrating his world title winner with tons of pyro yet this particular pyro botched in a major way it was reported that the time that fireworks landed in the proximity of a group of fans numerous fans were burnt and some were even taken to the local hospital WWE were forced to issue a statement on the matter they stated that they took solace in the fact that the injuries were minor Vince McMahon loved the DX band I wonder I wonder how much if they did get sued I wonder how much they tried to sue them for that's the real question WrestleMania 14 WrestleMania 14 kicked off with the DX band delivering a painful version of America the beautiful although fans allowed this version of the song it was actually said that Vince McMahon was rather fond of their involvement at that year's mania McMahon's positive opinion aside this doesn't stop WWE from editing the infamous performance of the WWE Network that sounds about right Vince we love that Hulk Hogan was told to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone WrestleMania 30 the Ultimate Warrior returned to WWE during WrestleMania 30 weekend and one legend was given strict instructions to leave him alone due to prior bad blood between Wario and Hogan Hogan was informed to stay away from him during the weekend yet this didn't stop Hogan as he proceeded to go up to Warrior backstage and make amends this footage was captured by WWE cameras and it was used for various WWE Network projects the Undertaker was rushed to hospital hey man that was that was a good gesture don't know if it was any you know if he meant what he said but that was a good gesture because we you know it's been documented uh Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior they had some uh some real life tension hell Hulk Hogan had a lot of tension with a lot of people who back in the day uh even with some people tonight uh as of now so at WrestleMania 30 the Undertaker was in such a bad way following his WrestleMania 30 and I heard about this was a lot of dead man was actually rushed to hospital upon seeing one of his most trusted and loyal performers in this state Vince McMahon decided to leave WrestleMania early and go to the hospital with the dead man this also said that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman left the show early to be by the dead man's the referee I believe because he was contest throughout the majority of that match so you know I think a lot of us heard about him having to be rushed to the hospital didn't know the streak was ending a Brock Lesnar this is crazy Undertaker and ending his iconic WrestleMania win streak shocked the world yeah nobody saw it coming and one name in particular that didn't see it coming was the referee for the match Chad Patton it's a rule in WWE that if a wrestler doesn't kick out they have to call the match as if it's legitimate so when Lesnar hit an F5 the dead man didn't kick out Patton called the match as if it was a shoot Andre the giant crying to excess before imagine you calling that that high profile match with the streak on the line and you're doing the one you're doing the two and you you're about to commit to the three you don't see no movement and you hit the three and it's over that's crazy that's that's that's a that's a lot of pressure on that particular you know scenario right there like you were the guy that counted the one two three uh for the streak being ended for WrestleMania three WrestleMania three featured one of the most famous pro wrestling matches in existence as Hulk Hogan took on Andre the giant it's safe to say that Andre didn't go into the match in the best condition as i think i heard about this too Andre drank around two flasks of crown royal before the match Chris Benoit's celebration has been edited WrestleMania 20 yep the original version of WrestleMania 20 went off the air with Chris Benoit celebrating with his family and due to Benoit's actions in 2007 WWE have since edited this out of the WWE Network version of the broadcast the show now goes off the air with Benoit celebrating with Eddie Guerrero before posing on the turnbuckle Brock Lesnar almost as we I mean yeah come on now yeah yeah definitely had to cut that out edit that out to squash Goldberg at WrestleMania 20 one of the most anticipated matches for WrestleMania 20 was Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar WWE's plans for the match were simple due to Goldberg leaving WWE WrestleMania Lesnar was gonna outright squash him however when Lesnar also revealed to WWE that he planned on leaving the company WWE opted for a new finish that resulted in Goldberg winning wow interestingly the squash match formula for these two would be used 12 years later when Goldberg squash Lesnar at the 2016 Survivor Series Arnold Schwarzenegger passed on attending WrestleMania 3 Vince McMahon was intent on having major celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger appear at WrestleMania 3 according to Jesse Ventura Vince McMahon traveled in a private jet to the set of the movie Predator and offered an in-person invitation to Arnie Arnold turned down the offer mainly due to things he'd been told by Jesse Ventura regarding McMahon and the company the movie star would end up appearing in WWE a number of years later and even had a physical interaction with Triple H in 1999 John Cena drank three beers before his match at WrestleMania 34 a unique element of the early parts of WrestleMania 34 saw John Cena sit amongst the fans yeah Cena was waiting to see if the Undertaker was gonna show up for their match and when Cedar was sitting in the crowd he began to drink beer and according to the man himself he drank around three beers before the actual match no wonder why he was running up the ramp Ken Shamrock and it was all a waste of time because Vince just thought it would be funny that the Undertaker got in tip top shape to have a five minute match it was a waste of everybody's fucking time bro turn down IWGP title reign to appear at WrestleMania 13 oh just before Ken Shamrock made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 13 Shamrock turned down a major IWGP title match in favor of a WWE and a WrestleMania payday it's widely believed that New Japan wrestling would have put the top title in the promotion on Shamrock but for Shamrock he was laser focused on becoming a huge star in WWE yeah Elias versus John Cena was planned for WrestleMania 35 oh my god one of the most notable segments of WrestleMania 35 saw Elias get confronted by John Cena this segment was extra special as Cena brought his classic doctor of ergonomics persona for one night only according to Elias himself in a 2024 interview at a UK wrestling convention that wasn't the original plan Elias stated that the original plans for WrestleMania 35 were to see him and Cena collide in a singles match on the grandest stage John Cena has the most wrestle that would have been crazy it probably would have been a good moment for Elias better than what he ended up getting that's why I was like what oh god really they were actually about to actually give him a match because they've only presented Elias as a fucking jobber since he been there entertaining jobber nonetheless with his concerts and stuff but not to be taken seriously WrestleMania title wins but John Cena has become a WrestleMania staple over the past two decades and Cena holds the record for the most WrestleMania world title wins wow Cena has won a total of four world titles on the grand stage okay the first of these was at WrestleMania 21 then Cena picked up world title gold at WrestleMania 25 26 and 29 WrestleMania suffered a major technical glitch that's not bad at all the inaugural WrestleMania event went out to 200 locations with an estimated 400 thousand people watching unfortunately for the over 11,000 fans who traveled to the civic center to watch the show they were unable to watch as a signal glitch meant that all they could see was a black screen oh no the fans in attendance were furious and it was said that things began to get violent WWE would issue refunds and thankfully for them the refunds didn't do too much damage to their revenue for the event itself oh yeah back then fans they didn't play that shit they didn't get what they deserved or they felt like they deserved to want it you was going back then people would riot now uh most likely no but back then no people would riot over shit like that Hulk Hogan still holds this impressive record the legendary Hulk Hogan still holds the record for the most WrestleMania main events Hogan has made events in total yet as WrestleMania 40 approaches this could all be about to change yep it's going to be if Roman wrestles both nights and main events both nights of mania he will officially take over Hogan's record which is insanity WrestleMania 9 was actually held in a parking lot a WrestleMania 9 was advertised as taking place at the historic seizes palace and this was partly true yet WWE built a stage and set for WrestleMania 9 in the parking lot this was one of the more unique sets WWE have delivered for WrestleMania and the event was labeled as a world's largest toga party. WWE wanted Bret Hart for WrestleMania 18 WWE initially wanted Bret Hart to return at WrestleMania 18 and play a key role in the main event according to reports at the time WWE wanted Hart to be the guest referee in the Chris Jericho vs Triple H main event it was said that Hart would have been booked in a spot where he would punch Vince McMahon Hart turned down the opportunity and for good reason as Hart returning in the main event match where Triple H of all people was winning would have been an odd and awkward moment yeah WrestleMania's first ever double pin night to WrestleMania 37 was made up by an acclaimed triple threat man I didn't even realize this was the first time that was ever a double pin at WrestleMania I never even realized that cuz you really don't see people double pinning like people like that it's a rarity that you see it lists as like two jobbers versus one guy they're trying to push but that's interesting never really thought to even think about that Roman Reigns would defend his universal title against Edge and Daniel Bryan and retain the title when he stacked both Edge and Bryan and pinned them simultaneously this was truly shocking and it marked the first ever WrestleMania match to end with a stacked double pin WrestleMania 16 only featured one singles match WrestleMania 16 or WrestleMania 2000 as is often known as only featured one singles match every match on the card featured more than two wrestlers that is with the exception of the cat fight between Terry and the cat it's unclear why WWE made this creative choice yet WrestleMania 16 is the only WrestleMania event in company history to have just one 1v1 encounter that's why mankind versus Vader almost happened at WrestleMania 13 early plans for WrestleMania 13 according to Mick Foley were to seem collide with Vader this would have revisited their classic WCW rivalry yet WWE unfortunately implemented plan B and decided to team both men up for the show the singles match would have been a welcome move as both men were directionless heading into WrestleMania 13 and the feed was exactly what Vader needed to move back up the card zero titles changed hands at WrestleMania 27 title changes are a key part of WrestleMania as fans love to see new champions crowned however when it comes to WrestleMania 27 they decided to have every champion on the show retain WrestleMania 27 is widely regarded as one of the most underwhelming WrestleMania events in company history and it's easy to see why for sure WrestleMania 13 is the least bought WrestleMania in history what WWE were gradually finding a new core audience by the time WrestleMania 13 came around yet this didn't translate to pay-per-view buys the show which was headlined by Sid versus the Undertaker for the WWE title only attracted 237,000 pay-per-view buys that's worth noting that WrestleMania 4 was lower but that particular show was on close circuit whilst the WrestleMania 13 buy rate was insanely low the following year was evidenced that WWE had turned the corner WrestleMania 14 a pay-per-view that was headlined by two juggernauts and Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold attracted over 700,000 pay-per-view buys the Undertakers that's that's a lot of money for back time for a time period back then like the 90s that's a lot of money bro that's a lot of money they're right there on wrestled and defeated every member of evolution at WrestleMania the dead man has wrestled numerous iconic names that makes this too an interesting fact about his WrestleMania record is that the dead man has wrestled and defeated every member of the legendary stable evolution when it comes to Triple H the dead man defeated him at WrestleMania 17 27 and 28 yep the Undertaker wrestler Ric Flair at WrestleMania 18 Randy Orton at WrestleMania 21 and finally he defeated the animal Batista at WrestleMania he's beaten all of evolution at the grandest stage of the mall so why he's one of the goats man that's awesome 23 Heath Slater's impressive battle royal record the Andre the giant memorial battle royal has been a WrestleMania fixture for the past decade and for the first six installments of the match Heath Slater was in every single one and he was the only star to be in the inaugural six WrestleMania six death count WrestleMania six is mostly known for the iconic main event showdown between the ultimate warrior and Hulk Hogan however it's also known for a rather morbid statistic a huge number of legendary performers who performed on the show are no longer with us these names include the likes of Andre the giant and the ultimate warrior a total of 22 names that appeared on the show back in 1990 are sadly no longer with us he took 36 WrestleMania events to have this gimmick match the majority of WWE gimmick matches have been featured at WrestleMania events over the past 40 years the show is featured Hell in a Cell matches TLC matches and even a Boneyard match yeah when it comes to the last man standing match it took WWE until WrestleMania 36 to feature the match really WWE would use the popular match stipulation for the showdown between Randy and the due to the event taking place at the performance center it made for a bizarre watch to say the very that's crazy I never even thought about these are facts I didn't even I wouldn't you would never really honestly just think about it but yeah that's the only last man standing match we've seen at a WrestleMania that's actually pretty interesting Stone Cold Steve Austin never defended the WWE title at Mania Stone Cold Steve Austin is widely regarded as one of the greatest WWE champions of all time yet a crazy fact about the Texas rattlesnake is that he's never defended the top prize in WWE on the grandest stage every time Austin is competed in a WWE title match he's walked in as the challenger Austin's WWE title matches at WrestleMania include WrestleMania 14 versus Shawn Michaels and WrestleMania 15 and 17 versus the Rock Triple H has the most WrestleMania losses damn fans are always stunned to discover that Triple H has the most mania losses out of anyone in the company history with 13 Triple H is always at the notion attached to him during his full-time run that he used his backstage influence to bury talent but when it comes to WrestleMania events that's simply not true over the years the game has put over names including the Undertaker Matista John Cena Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins yeah Randy Orton and John Cena have never had a 1v1 match at Mania a Randy Orton versus John Cena which is really crazy when you think about you would think they would at least had a one-on-one they they've never had it and they're like arguably you could say their greatest rivals character wise is one of the most celebrated feuds in WWE history yet one key fact about the notable rivalry is that they've never had a singles match at WrestleMania the closest the two legends got to colliding 1v1 was at WrestleMania 24 yet WWE added Triple H into the mix there was a strong belief at the time that this should have been a standard singles match between Orton and Cena yet WWE clearly believed that the game's inclusion was the right move all hope is in loss as both men have admitted how awesome it would be to collide in a singles match at WrestleMania at the start of 2024 this is what Orton had to say regarding a potential singles match during an appearance on the bump a dream match for me would be somehow to find myself in a situation where I'm fighting scene at WrestleMania I don't know how you get there I'm not saying it's gonna happen but I have never wrestled John at WrestleMania in a singles match we had some wars back in the day so being able to revisit that after all this I think it's not only something that I would want I think the fans would eat it up too facts if it was if it happened to be John Cena's very last match I don't think anyone would trip I don't think anyone would trip if they ever found a way to make that legitimately happen Randy Orton versus John Cena you don't even have to be for the title just one more time at WrestleMania I don't think anybody would complain I know I wouldn't Rob Van Dam is undefeated at WrestleMania WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam is undefeated on the grandest stage RVD has won four matches at WrestleMania including picking up a big win over William Regal and helping team ECW that's crazy my man is undefeated. RVD hits several loss during the pre-show at WrestleMania 19 yet WWE don't count the Sunday night heat portion of the prior WrestleMania events as canon yeah other big names to be undefeated at WrestleMania include Demolition, Sable, Legion of Doom, Virgil, Mr. T and yeah even Michael Cole. The Undertaker's brother passed away before his final match. When the Undertaker was filming his match with AJ Styles in a boneyard match at WrestleMania 36 during filming he learned that his brother Timothy had died of a heart attack. Taker received a call on the set from his niece who told him the very tragic news nevertheless Undertaker still managed to finish the filming in the match. Wow I didn't I know that either oh man that's a piece to his brother that's that's tough bro imagine you getting some tough news like that and then you still have to finish the job you still finish filming and everything that's that's tough bro that's that's tough I don't even know what I don't I can't even fathom continually doing what I'm doing if I lose someone so close to you a family member like that or a friend like that's that's crazy. WrestleMania 4 holds the record for the most matches oh lord WrestleMania 4 which featured Macho Man Randy Savage becoming WWE champion holds the record for the most matches in a single day at WrestleMania with 16 in total the card was truly stacked and this was predominantly down to WWE holding a tournament to crown a new WWE champion speaking of Savage he competed in four matches on the show giving him the record for the most WrestleMania matches on a single broadcast the first ever submission victory in a WrestleMania main event took place at WrestleMania 20 it took 20 years to book a WrestleMania main event to end via a submission this game at WrestleMania 20 when Chris Benoit tapped out Triple H to become the new world champion submission finishes in the main event will become much more common following Benoit's win as names such as John Cena and Daniel Bryan won main event matches with their respective finishers these huge names have never won at WrestleMania winning at a WrestleMania event should be one of the highlights of a wrestler's career yet unfortunately some wrestlers never received the honor names including Goldus Shinsuke Nakamura Asuka the Dudley boys William Regal Wade Barrett and our truth have competed at several WrestleMania events hopefully the our truth one gets rectified this weekend put the titles on our truth the tag titles on our truth in the biz let's go give them that moment and then never come out with the W now for Asuka Nakamura and truth to them being still active in WWE there is still hopefully a chance they could pick up a win at WrestleMania and remove themselves from this unfortunate statistic Triple H almost boxed at WrestleMania 17 and before Triple H was paired with the undertaker for WrestleMania 17 WWE had two ideas in mind for the game one idea was for the game to face Ray Lewis and this match could have also included Warren Sapp Rock of all people offered a great account on the WWE's plans during an interview with Dan Patrick there was a time where we were actually recruiting both guys Lewis and Warren Sapp to come in and have a big match and we got them very close in having a big match bringing in Ray Lewis and we're gonna have big tag team match with myself Ray Lewis as tag team partners against whoever the top heels were at the time probably Triple H I think and somebody else I was gonna be a big WrestleMania match but we could never get nothing to do with the creative just more so scheduling but we were very very excited so we came very close to that but both of these guys would have done great in the ring and just really really exceptional athletes the other idea was for Triple H to box Mike Tyson and the fight would have been six rounds what according to the game due to Tyson's costly asking price the plans were scrapped there have only been two cage matches in no and I'm glad Mike Tyson was had a large demanding price no he would have killed him no boxing and wrestling don't no no they've tried to perform people were legit getting CTE cases out there no just no I'm glad that didn't happen that that sounds awful WrestleMania history and despite the steel cage match being one of the most commonly used gimmick matches in WWE it's only been featured twice at WrestleMania the first time came when Hulk Hogan collided with King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania 2 then 30 years later at WrestleMania 37 Braun Strowman would take on Shane McMahon only two people have main evented every WrestleMania they've competed at a main eventing WrestleMania is an honor that only a select few wrestlers have attained but for two wrestlers they managed to main event every WrestleMania they competed in Lawrence Taylor competed in one WrestleMania in the main event slot and that was WrestleMania 11 versus Bam Bam Bigelow the second name is Sid whose matches versus Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker were both given the main event placement on the respective shows John Cena was the first person to point at the WrestleMania sign really wrestlers pointing towards the WrestleMania sign is a common practice for the Royal Rumble winner yet the crazy thing about the tradition is that it only started in 2008 wow first person to deliver the triumph from point and it became custom that every year the Rumble winner was a pioneer of that shit I just never really paid attention to I just remember people I just people doing it now but I never really thought who was the first person to do it that's a lot of these is like stats in facts you don't even really be thinking of until someone says it that's crazy at the arena or stadium the Undertaker has main evented WrestleMania in four different decades yeah I know about this one back in the 90s Undertaker took on psychosid at WrestleMania 13 in 1997 in the 2000s the Undertaker versus Batista and Undertaker versus Edge at WrestleMania 23 and 24 respectively 2010s Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels and Undertaker versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 25 26 and 33 respectively and in the 2020s of Undertaker versus AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 Kurt Angle and Sting almost wrestled at WrestleMania 18 what Kurt Angle took on Kane at WrestleMania 18 and whilst Kane isn't exactly a mid-carder it didn't feel like the feud came out of nowhere and Angle was destined for a bigger spot it turned out that WWE wanted Angle to either face Sting or Bret Hart and if Sting came into the company this would have marked Sting's official debut in the WWE Angle would discuss these early creative pitches during a 2021 edition of his podcast yeah there were talks about it I heard about it but I'm not surprised that it didn't occur you know they couldn't get Sting to sign that early you know Bret Hart at that particular time you know he was still wrestling I did contact Bret I'm the one that contacted him yeah I called him and said hey I want you to wrestle at WrestleMania I think it'd be a dream match wow you don't have to do any of the work I'll do all the bumping and selling and he immediately said no I was like okay well I appreciate it nice meeting you Bret dad I think it said no I can see Kurt being excited and then on the other end Bret's just like no that would have been a very interesting match that would have been interesting Bret versus Kurt or uh Kurt versus Sting that would have been interesting but Bret he said no I'm not doing that shit yeah wrestling over the years has been prone to delivering cameos from future main event level talent take for instance future wcw world champion ddp would be the driver at WrestleMania six what Zm Punk will portray a gangster at WrestleMania 22 and at WrestleMania 30 names including Charlotte Flair Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss played a pivotal role in Triple H's special entrance the undertaker often used future WWE talent for his special entrances and for his entrance at WrestleMania 21 one of the druids just so happened to be future WWE champion Kofi Kingston wow we planned Hulk Hogan versus Zeus for WrestleMania 6 original plans for WrestleMania 6 where does he Hulk Hogan take on Zeus according to Tom Lister Jr these plans were scrapped when Hogan refused to drop the title to him and as a result the main event of the show was changed and the ultimate warrior would enter the proceedings ultimately this was the right move as although warrior was limited in the ring he was insanely over Hogan versus Zeus could have been one of the worst main events in WrestleMania history Tatanka has had the biggest gap between wrestling at WrestleMania Tatanka randomly returned to WWE for a one-off appearance at WrestleMania 32 he would appear in the Andre the giant memorial battle royal and this appearance marked 23 years since he last appeared on the grander stage giving him the biggest gap between WrestleMania matches Ricky steamboat does come close but only with 21 years still WrestleMania 7 had to move location WrestleMania attendance always leads to a ton of discourse particularly on social media and thankfully for WWE social media wasn't a thing when WrestleMania 7 delivered the lowest attended WrestleMania event of all time just over 16,000 fans attended the show headlined by sergeant slaughter versus Hulk Hogan and the craziest thing about the show is that it almost occurred in a big stadium WWE moved the show to a smaller arena due to poor ticket sales and to save face they embarrassingly claimed that it was due to a bombscare WrestleMania 7 was indeed the lowest attended WrestleMania but that was until 20 you said a bombscare bro they would definitely play in face oh no those are bombscares that we had to downsize okay okay vids 20 when they were forced to host WrestleMania 36 at the WWE performance center in front of zero fans yeah Snoop Dogg has won more matches at WrestleMania than Oscar one of the most just saying that's that out loud is kind of fucking wild and I love Snoop Dogg think Snoop Dogg is great it's just the fact that Oscar doesn't have a win at WrestleMania and the trend is going to keep going on she's not winning in that tag match they have what at the three three on three match they have this year she's not winning the trend is going to continue on that's crazy just disappointing elements of that's so crazy run is that she has yet to win at WrestleMania ask her has lost every single match she's competed in on the grandest stage and even Snoop Dogg has won more matches at WrestleMania than the Empress of tomorrow hell even counts snooki in that yeah even won at WrestleMania wwe wanted abyss to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 23 in 2006 when abyss's tna contract was set to expire wwe offered abyss a lucrative contract that would have included a WrestleMania match with the Undertaker shockingly abyss turned down the offer and decided to stay with tna when this new surface fans were ultimately let down as abyss was incredible in the ring and he had the dead man would have had a tremendous chemistry in the squared circle in relation to abyss's take on this decision years later during a reddit AMA he revealed that he had no regrets regarding turning the match down yes that's true i ended up staying with tna and i'm so happy that i did i have no regrets i was an original member of tna since the beginning and i couldn't leave something i helped build from the ground up abyss would eventually find himself in wwe years later yeah not as an in-ring talent for the past several years the tna Hall of Famer has worked as a producer in wwe are all in which he received widespread praise for and it's just one of those things where he's like you know what that's i can respect a person's decision to do what's best for them even if everyone else would like oh man that's you turning out so much money and big opportunities to really get your name out there nah i'm gonna stay where i'm at and he still ended up there but he's out here producing good great matches so he's working behind the scenes and it still worked it came full circle it was just not on camera but still producing stuff that we love on camera so i can respect that brah wrestlemania 2 took place on a monday what traditionally wrestlemania events have taken place on a sunday but that is until the past several years where wwe decided that wrestlemania should be a two night showcase bizarrely for wrestlemania 2 vince mcman decided to book the show to take place on a monday this was an odd move that made a little business sense yeah man realized the error of his ways the following year as wrestlemania would revert to the sunday slot wow the man wanted vladimir kozloff to break the streak yep i heard about 2008 2009 vince mcman was insistent on vladimir kozloff being a major player in the company unfortunately for mcman the fans never connected with kozloff and despite this mcman had a crazy idea that would see kozloff in the undertakers wrestlemania winstreet this was going to be at wrestlemania 25 and the backlash if mcman proceeded with this booking move would have been insane thankfully mcman came to his senses and instead of booking kozloff versus the dead man for wrestlemania 25 he opted for sure michael's versus the undertaker which resulted in an all-time classic thank goodness thank thank the the stars and the heavens above i've heard about this story and it still gives me chills to even think that old man was thinking about putting that damn match on and having him beat the streak in replace of this oh good god whoo stonkholz steve ostin was rushed to hospital before wrestlemania 19 yep heard about this one stonkholz steve ostin was set to retire at wrestlemania 19 yet the night before the final match of his iconic career ostin found himself in hospital ostin had run himself into the ground and the former wwe champion revealed his in his autobiography that he thought he was having a heart attack my heartbeat might be doing 160 or 180 beats per minute it just feels like my heart's gonna jump out of my chest i've been fatigued in matches before totally out of gas and winded but this was scaring the hell out of me i'm sure i'm having a heart attack according to ostin's close friend jim ross on grill and jr ostin was overtraining and become reliant on energy drinks well it was scary so you know he felt like he was letting a lot of people down and he was overtraining and those damn energy drinks steve was not sleeping he was overcaffeinating himself and his body reacted by just backing away so when we all went to bed on saturday night in the middle of the night we didn't know if he was going to be able to wrestle rock or not in the main event ostin pushed through and he was able to retire in a fantastic match against this arch rival the rock fantastic and i hope we get to see at least them face off a little bit of interaction this weekend man but nah this that was a fantastic way to end off a legendary career with one of the legendary feuds of wrestling is it was just cinema the undertaker refused to let this wrestler break the streak a wwe shocked the world at wrestlemania 30 when brock lesnar defeated taker and the illustrious streak at wrestlemania 30 however the streak was going to be broken much earlier on an episode of something to wrestle with bruce pritchard bruce said that vince mcman called him one day and told him that he wanted mark henry to end this streak at wrestlemania upon hearing this bruce made sure to let undertaker know what the plans were but both bruce pritchard and undertaker weren't happy with this decision with bruce saying that he didn't feel like mark henry was ready just yet and that there weren't any long-term plans for mark henry undertaker being the man that he is even though he didn't like the plans he said that if that's what the boss wants he'll follow the instructions wow mark henry didn't end his streak and undertaker defeated him keeping the streak intact the big show wanted to have a reverse under this is why undertaker is to go he's still gonna do the job like if that's what he wants i'll do it he disagree but that's what he wanted i'll do it bro take a record at wrestlemania the undertaker's wrestlemania streak is legendary in the world of wrestling taker would go all the way to wrestlemania 30 undefeated at ranking up 21 wins in a row of course it ended with brogles near defeating taker and ending the streak however instead of a win streak at wrestlemania the big show pitched the idea that he wanted to do a reverse streak of losses he mentioned i've always prided myself on doing what really was best for business the only time i had an ego is when i wanted to have a reverse undertaker record at wrestlemania and they messed it up i was like nought and six and they let me win one imagine being nought and 22 all time kim kardashian wasn't really a celebrity that was needed at wrestlemania 24 nevertheless wwe managed to pay her a bag of 25 000 just to read the attendance number that night jonathan coachman told his story during an interview on espn radio and apparently she had a hard time remembering the number and needed a card wrestlemania 27 she got paid 25 grand just to read what was on the card read let people know what the attendance record was that man give me 25 grand i'ma read that fucking card and like it's the best attendance number of all time hell i may even make up a number we got a broken attendance record of a hundred thousand people wait a minute this stadium only holds 60 000 i know it's crazy we're fitting people everywhere now give me my damn check read my money but is the oldest wrestlemania where all the competitors on the card are still alive today wrestlemania 26 was the oldest until shat gaspard passed away as he was part of the battle royal if you look at wrestlemania 25 jimmy snooker and roddy piper are no longer with us wrestlemania 24 had umaga on the card wrestlemania 23 had chris benoit and umaga on the card wrestlemania 22 had fisera and chris benoit wrestlemania 21 had eddy groen so forth and roman reins is the only member of the anawahi family to face the undertaker at wrestlemania that's crazy was the first and only member of the anawahi family to face the undertake up wrestlemania this match came in the main event of wrestlemania 33 and this fact comes as a huge surprise especially when you consider that the dead man has had epic feuds with members of the family including the rock yokuzuna and rakishi the match between reins and the dead man was initially designed to be the end taker's final match in wwe yet due to the poor quality and offer the undertaker decided to have numerous more matches in wwe before retiring at wrestlemania 36 against aj styles riding off into the sunset but there you have it folks 30 minutes this was this was a good one i like videos like this get into like facts that you may have heard about or facts you didn't even know was the thing like never knew john senin was the one to start the whole pointing at the wrestlemania sign didn't even know that wasn't even thinking of that or that uh roman was the first guy to ever do the stack pin at wrestlemania didn't know that so this was this was very informative get you hyped up for wrestlemania the question is what's gonna happen at wrestlemania that will live on in infamy for this weekend looking forward to it can't wait to check it out man uh it's crazy to say wrestlemania 40 is right here we the time is flying by so quick i love it but comment down below let me know which fact from this video was the most shocking to you that you did not know but i appreciate all love sport wrote 250k and i'm seeing you on speedy youtube wrestling champion world appreciate y'all me see y'all next one peace


We've had a fantastic first 10 years where we've grown 40 times. We've gone from one line of business to five lines of business, from television alone to now television, films, digital, live and merchandise. And within television we've gone from three channels at that point in time to 44 channels now. As we look ahead into the future, the key imperatives for us are one, to continue to build our television business where we'll be focusing on sharper segmentation and building our portfolios in each genre. The second imperative for us as we go forward is building an ecosystem around our brands and characters. This may be particularly true for our kids' ecosystem as I go forward. And finally, if you look at the third key thrust will be in the area of building a digital portfolio. So the digital portfolio will comprise of building VOOT which has just been launched and has been very successful, which is our, you know, the AVOD model. But we will find different business models in this space and we will do a lot more. In the space of building ecosystems, which I talked to you very briefly about, two businesses will get thrust as we go forward, further thrust. And I think their businesses of the future is our live business where we will be able to do much more, build new IPs, build new, you know, programs and also drive merchandising. And I think there is a lot of potential in this country on licensing and merchandising. As incomes grow, this is a business which will get a lot of Philip as we go forward. So all in all, these are the big business trusts, but this has to be enabled by building a strong talent pipeline, both on content, which is our mainstay. We are storytellers, but moving forward also on technology and big data and analytics and therefore getting some amount of that engineering big data analytics kind of talent into our fold or partnering, as you know, we've done through our program called VSTEP. So I think it's a combination of these two coupled with the brilliant culture, which we continue to provide at YCOM 18 and keep dialing up the culture quotient in our company is what will propel YCOM 18 as we go forward. When Chairman Srimukesh Dhirubhaya Mani was there at our 10th year celebration, he talked about the synergies briefly. I think there are a lot of synergies between what GEO is doing and will continue to do and what we do. I think first and foremost is in the area of content and video. So I think our ability to provide quality content, leading stories, I think is an area where we can definitely dwell. The second area is being able to look at data and that the entire piece of big data analytics at both places and I think therefore building a data powerhouse which enables GEO to continue to develop and a fantastic program of content for their customers. And finally, I think between the two teams, there is room to do things in the area of live events, experimentation with new technology, whether it is VR, 4K, AR. So these are the three broad areas of clear synergies as we go forward.


Yes, please. Got you, Edgar Hoover? Oh, yes. I'll put him on here. Is the president on line two now? Yes, he's asking for some. Well, what's he doing? Can you tell? Oh, I see. So he's calling Secretary Hodges. Okay. And this is but Hoover on. All right. Thank you. Well, I'll put him on first. Yeah. I mean, let's... Hello? Mr. President, I want to let you know we have found the car. Yeah? This is not known. Nobody knows this at all. But the car was burned, and we do not know yet whether any bodies are inside of the car because of the intense heat that still is in the area of the car. The license plates on the car are the same that was on the car that was in Philadelphia, Mississippi yesterday. Apparently, this is off to the side of the road. It wasn't going toward Meridian, but it's going in the opposite direction. Now, whether anybody's in the car, we won't know until we can get into the car ourselves. We've got agents across on the ground, and as soon as we get depth in that word, I'll of course get worried to you. But I did want you to know that apparently what's happened these men have been killed. Although, as I say, we can't tell whether anybody's in there in view of the intense heat. Now, what would make you think they've been killed? Because of the fact that it is the same car that they were in in Philadelphia, Mississippi. And the same license number is on the outside of the car. Now, as I say, the heat is so intense, you can't tell on the inside that everything's been burned whether any charred bodies are not. It is merely an assumption that probably they were burned in the car. On the other hand, they may have been taken out and killed on the outside. Or maybe kidnapped and locked up. How's that? Or maybe kidnapped and locked up. Well, I would doubt whether those people down there would even give them that much of a break. But of course, we're going to go into that very thoroughly. Not only as to the fact as to whether they're still alive if they're not in the car, then they may have been killed and their bodies buried in one of those swamps down there. Where did you find the car? How far from Philadelphia? The car was about, I'd say, eight miles from Philadelphia, but not in the direction of Meridian. It was in the opposite direction. Now, they had left Philadelphia, according to the reports that we had earlier, to go to Meridian, which is about 20 miles. This, however, was on State Highway 21, and the car was off to the side of the highway, although it could be seen from the highway. An Indian agent, an Indian reservation down in that area, although the car is not on the reservation, an Indian agent saw the car and immediately notified us. And we went there and there we found this condition. How long has the car been burnt? You reckon, six, eight hours? Well, we frankly don't know. The intense heat would have indicated that the car probably had been burning for maybe six hours or five or six hours. What would you advocate, to throw the gasoline in? I would think so, yes. There wasn't any indication of any explosion like dynamite or anything of that kind. And, of course, dynamite wouldn't have caused the intense heat and fire that kerosene or gasoline would have. Well, it looks like the old fella jumped out of the car and burnt it. Well, you would think they would, unless they'd been bound and were locked in that car and then the car set a fire. Well, why wouldn't an agent be able to look at the car and see if there's any bones in it? See whether there are any butters in it? Any bones, yes. Well, the reason for that is the car is so burned and charred with heat that you can't get close to it, except that we did get the license number, which is on the outside of the car. You mean it's still burning? Well, the car is still burning, yes. You mean you think this happened in the last few minutes? No, I don't think it's the last few minutes. I think it's something that's happened within the last maybe five or six hours. You see, they didn't leave there until sometime yesterday, I think it was. Okay, you call me as soon as you can. Now, this group's coming down here to see your wife and my sister. Yes. You think in the light of this, this congressman both of them ways may help me to see them.  I think it would be all right. I don't like to have you having to see these people because we're going to have more pieces like this down south. And every time that it occurs, they're going to have these families come on here to watch.
