I went to Hawaii for the holidays, 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: Land of the Rock, that's right, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: you got you got to feel like what it's like 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: to be in the bloodline by zip line, that's right, 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: that's right. I stayed with the Samoan family. They took 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: me in and I got some sick tattoos the old 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: way or they just think they hammer a little like 31 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: needle into my arm. They did my whole arm, wrist 32 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: to shoulder. We ate POI. I don't know if you've 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: ever had boy, it's it's pretty good. But once you 34 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: have it more than one way, you pretty much had it. 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: We had it a lot. Did you get the Samoan tattooed? 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Does it say I'm in the bloodline? Respect to Sammy Zane? 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: What is your tattoo say? They wrote it in Samoan, 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: so hopefully they told me the truth. But it reads 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: young warrior, So they thought I was young. They thought 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I was young. Well compared to the earth, you're young. Yeah, 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, compared to King Kama, compared to 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: the volcanoes of Earth, you know, I didn't. I didn't 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: do anything. We stayed in a super nice hotel, uh, 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: spoiled ourselves, rotten ate like eight like Royalty. We have 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: two friends that live out there already, and so we 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: went to visit them as well. I had Christmas with 47 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: them and UH and New Year's with them, so it 48 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: was great. How was your holiday, sir? Holidays weren't that 49 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: great because Southwest canceled the flights, so I didn't get 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: to go anywhere, stuck at home by myself. But New 51 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: Year's was great because I got to go to Cleveland. 52 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: So I don't mean to laugh. It was terrible, I 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: said at the I said, at the airport in Burbank 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: from like ten am to UH to midnight, just for 55 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: them to cancel the flight. And I was like, all right, 56 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna go home out. So that happened. 57 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: But New Year's New Year's was awesome. I had a 58 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: bunch of shows in Cleveland and we we uh, we 59 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: had we had really fun time in Cleveland was awesome. 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland rocks man, Yeah, it was fun. Jeff you made 61 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: a prediction in like our second or third episode, and 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: everyone thought I was joking, And everyone thought you were joking. 63 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: And it was the biggest news in wrestling, not your opinion, 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: but the news itself, which was Vince McMahon was forced out. 65 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: And Jeff, tell the people what you said. I said 66 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: the h that he's coming back. There's just no chance 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: that he can stay not in wrestling. And not only 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: did it happen, it's happened pretty fast. Well, he did 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: not take that much time off. And I said he 70 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: was gonna come back in the Royal Rumble, which I'm 71 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: still hoping for. That no chance, and he just starts 72 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: running on. He wins. If he's like the third the 73 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: number comes out, hits, the ring blows out both the 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: squads again, it still goes over. Um, yeah, you called this. 75 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,559 Speaker 1: I honestly thought he might just stay away and say, 76 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: let me just live the rest of my life. But 77 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: other people have said it before. He's gonna die and 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: Gorilla and he's and the show is gonna go on, 79 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: and uh, that may be what happens. Some people are 80 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: a little afraid he's gonna come back to creative. Um. 81 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: Other people are saying that's not gonna happen. He's just 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: there for the sale. What do you think, Brosky, I 83 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: don't you know Vince McMahon personally. Do you think he's 84 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: capable of not getting his little fingers on the Creative? 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: I I can't see a world where he where he doesn't. 86 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Neither can I? Yeah, it's just zero chance that like 87 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: and also like, how how does chance? How piste off? 88 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Must everyone be that he's back, like like in the 89 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: locker room and all that, like it's all back. I'm 90 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: sure he has his crew that they can take care 91 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: of themselves, and he trusts them with their own creative 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: for the most part. So I'm sure there's a small 93 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: handful of people that are, you know, welcome him, welcoming 94 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: him back with open arms. But I would say the 95 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: vast majority of talent there's probably freaked out at worst 96 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: and nervous at best, right because if he does come 97 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: back to Creative, that means storylines are going to die 98 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: that day. And pretty much everyone I think who has 99 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: been rehired since they were released under under Hunter's uh 100 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: current reign right now, as as as the boss, I 101 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: think those people are probably going through it. The most. 102 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're going through a ton of emotions. He 103 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: hated me before let me go, He's gonna hate me 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: now he's gonna let me you know what I mean. 105 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: People who had storylines are probably nervous. They're gonna go 106 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: away from People came back just because, h yeah they did. 107 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: They feel like I feel like, well, I came back 108 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: because Triple ages in charge. And now it's been two 109 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: months and and or however long it's been. Uh, it 110 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: better have been a little bit longer. If if it 111 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: was only two months, it feels like just two months. 112 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we were just talking about it. We're just 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: going out. Can you believe Vice is gone? This is crazy, 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: like as longer than two months. But it's just it's 115 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: humorous that that's how short it's been. Yeah, man, I 116 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm surprised, but I really am surprised. 117 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if he goes back and starts 118 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: running Creative and we're not. We're not a rumor podcast. 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: That's just not what we do here. You know. We 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: just tell our opinions and celebrate wrestling of all kinds. 121 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: We're not good at it, but there's a. There's a 122 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: rumor that our producers has sent over via text, but 123 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: Nick con allegedly has a deal with Vince McMahon to 124 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: sell w w E. I would say, I mean, that's 125 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: pretty much the story of the Wall Street Journal was insinuating. 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't. I don't know if that 127 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: stays in the world of rumors. I mean they're somewhat reputable. 128 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know all the other fake stories 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: and real stories because I don't read it well. When 130 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the article says alleged in the headline, I've got to 131 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: say category. I mean, I feel like he only comes 132 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: back for one of two reasons, to either sell it 133 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: or to take over and run it. And I don't 134 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: think he can feasibly take over and run it, So 135 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: I think it has to be he's coming in, he's 136 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: gonna sell the company, and wherever the pieces fall, the 137 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: pieces fall. But it's gonna it's gonna end with him. 138 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: Can Triple h afford to buy wrestling? What if he 139 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: buys wrestling? No, no way, Man, It's gonna sell for 140 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: at least in my billion, at least two billion dollars. 141 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: I hope Elon Musk buys it, and he makes all 142 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: the wrestlers you know, electric. You know, I don't know 143 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: what Ellen does really, I don't know. Maybe he'll make 144 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: them all. He's gonna make it. He's gonna make an 145 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: make them digital. I don't. I don't know how there 146 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: is solar powered. Yeah, it'll be an f t I don't. 147 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't know smart stuff. Listen if elon mus but 148 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: the wrestlers are powered by the wind. It'll be cool, 149 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, it'll be a better version. I'm sure. Let's 150 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: talk some real wrestling, more fantasy promotor bookie someone and 151 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: I raw opened and the Bloodline came out like in 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: uh raw Is War back in the day and just 153 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: thrashed everything and took over.

By the way, 168 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: you have to all these arenas. You need to employ 169 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: more credible security staffs, ones that formulate strategy. Let's all 170 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: go in at the same time. I think if we might, 171 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: if we go in one at a time, he's going 172 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: to have a major advantage, Like you have to have 173 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: one dude on the team that thinks like that if 174 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a security company for one of these arenas, 175 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: because these guys did not have that individual and they 176 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: got taxed. And so Kevin Owens is like, well, security 177 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: can't protect the people in this arena from the madness, 178 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: then I'm going to protect him. So if you again, 179 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter that Adam doesn't want anybody f 180 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: and anybody he goes in, he fights, he's getting beat down. 181 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Then all the wrestlers come out. They're like, yeah, security 182 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: can't do nothing. We're all coming out now. You know, 183 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the wrestlers all came in the ring at the same time. 184 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: They didn't do that one at a time. Royal Rumble 185 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Security entrance bs. They got in and they started whipping. Asked, 186 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: now the Bloodlines trying to run away and get away. 187 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: Adam Pierce, who tried to throw them out of the 188 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: arena earlier, now he doesn't want to matter. He says, no, no, no, no, 189 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: You're not going anywhere. You wanted to f everybody. Well, 190 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: now everybody's gonna f you, and I'm setting up a 191 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: bunch of f and matches tonight. And that's right. And 192 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: so that set up the show for Monday and Arrow. 193 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: It was a chaotic segment, but they brought it in 194 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: nice and it felt it felt okay to me. I 195 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna hate it because when like they 196 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: did it with the Nexus back in the day, it's uh. 197 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: And when they did it with the Shield, I guess 198 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: it was No, that was cool with the shield. I'm 199 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: just crapping on it, um. But yeah, this I thought 200 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: was pretty cool. And I dug the segment. Man, how 201 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: do you feel about all that f and around. Well, 202 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: I will say the security thing one one thing. It 203 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: must feel weird to be a real security guard at 204 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: one of these stadiums, because you know, you're looking at 205 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: him going, hey, aren't you gonna help, Like it seems 206 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: like there's a melee here like this good and he's 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, we're just real security. We 208 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: just kind of watch you guys. So there's like that 209 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: must be a weird separation of fake security and real 210 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: security trying to make sense of everything. Ums like eyeballing 211 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: each other from across. It feels real. I don't know 212 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: if it's fake enough. Um, I could be real. I 213 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: could I could get in there. I do think that. Um, 214 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: whenever they do these kind of like takeover things, it's 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: always confusing from my brain because it's like I don't 216 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: really see Raw and SmackDown as two separate shows. I 217 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: just see him as like w W you know. To me, 218 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: it's just this is just the Monday show and this one. 219 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: So when they're like we're coming for you, Smacked and 220 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, this feels like civil war or so it 221 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: feels like strange, like friendly fire is happening. We used 222 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: to say that in the production meeting all the time, 223 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: like every young I wasn't I was young ish then, 224 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: but like all the young rides in the production meeting 225 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: two vents, like in front of they go nobody, we 226 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: don't look at it like it's all wrestling. We don't 227 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: like I'd be like, yeah, second that, and all the 228 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: old guys would be like it's like like it's not, 229 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: it's it's each one's a brand on two weeks old, 230 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: and you have to fight for your brand, whether it's 231 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: really or blue. And I'm like, nobody does that except you. Also, 232 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: they're like we shuffle up raw and SmackDown so often. 233 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: We shuffle up those wrestlers so often. Yeah, they're attacking 234 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: guys that they used to be like tag partners with 235 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago. Like they're like you 236 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: know now they're all of a sudden enemies for some reason. Yeah, 237 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: your team ran, I'll punch you right in the face 238 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: and it would be like a um. They'll be like 239 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: we're coming and we're coming to destroy this thing, and 240 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: they're like it's just like when um W c W 241 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: was invaded by w W with the with the wolf 242 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Pack and Huld Coogan. It's like it's totally different because 243 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: this is the same stock, the same brand, the same whatever. Anyways, 244 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: it's like it's like if Scott Hall invaded Kevin Nash. 245 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was like. You know, its like 246 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: it went no together. Did they have a fight we 247 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: didn't know about because I haven't confused. Like, but that 248 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: being said, because they do this kind of thing so often, 249 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: like over the last like twenty years, I do like 250 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: it. It It feels classic, it feels cool. The fact that 251 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: they just opened the show and is already chaos happening 252 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: is kind of cool. Um So I did like I 253 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: did like the opening was fun and I'm like, um also, 254 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: am I crazy? But I've never seen or I am 255 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: not very familiar with Adam Pierce. How long has he 256 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: been in that position? He's been in the gym position 257 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: for a while. He uhould be a wrestler. Um but 258 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: then like like me, got older, um man, he's good 259 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: on the mic man. He had like one little flub 260 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: that he corrected. How many how many times has he 261 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: been on camera on camera? Bunch dude for over an 262 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: over a I was I couldn't make it about him. 263 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: They kept saying his name, and then when they cut 264 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: to him, like, oh, I know him, but like they 265 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: kept when they were saying his name, was like, who 266 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: the hell Adam Pierce. I was thinking it was another wrestler. 267 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: He plays it pretty normal and subtle, not real character. 268 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: He's like one of the few guys that's like not 269 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: a wrestler who on the mic comes off like they're 270 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: just doing their normal thing. I actually I like him 271 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: out there, and I think he does a good job. Yeah, 272 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: one little club. I thought he saved it and made 273 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: sure that the line was clear. He even repeated it. 274 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: I was like, that's a good save. Respect. So yeah, 275 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: I like Adam. He's doing a good job with that. 276 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: I think he'll be there a long time. We had 277 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: a championship match between Bianca and Alexa. I told my 278 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: daughter before the match, Alexa will lose, and she'll lose 279 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: because she'll turn to the dark side and become crazy. 280 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: And Charlotte goes, what that that's stupid, and then that's 281 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: trusted the lesson and trusting dad. But I I'll let's 282 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: skip that match. I want to go right to a 283 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: match that I think you actually loved, which was a 284 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: lie versus solo, and I think it was like a 285 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: Memphis music instrument street fight match, and these guys beat 286 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: each other and beat each other up with guitars. He 287 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: smashed him and oh, let's see that drum set right there. 288 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, by home, smash your face and that 289 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: f and drum set.

They hit each other with us, so you 293 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: see this symbol bam right on your f and head. 294 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: And they went back and forth with every instrument. So 295 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: this truck driver get name hard. He gets in the 296 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: ring calling big hard. That's what That's what me and 297 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: the boys call it. And uh, he grabs a guitar 298 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: like the hockey talk man before him, and he spams 299 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: smashes that guitar right on solo. Soko is back and 300 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: so just knows. So it's like f your chair shot. 301 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: He saw little musician, bitch, here's some art, go back 302 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: to school. Yeah, it just stares at him. And this 303 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: dude isn't out of He's not in shape enough to 304 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: get down quickly and get out of the ring. He 305 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: has to like slowly not stumble and fall to get 306 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: out of the ring, and he didn't want to look 307 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: like a punk, so he's trying to like laugh it up. 308 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: But then like you can see Solo like looking at him, like, dude, 309 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: if you don't get out of this ring, is gonna 310 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: get real. And then he's like, okay, I'm gonna just 311 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: collapse and rolled out of the ring. What And then 312 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: he ends the match by choke slamming him on or 313 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: someone spiking him onto the stupid piano. Ye, he choked 314 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: slammed him out of the ring onto a piano that 315 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: seemed like a real piano to It wasn't like a 316 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: fake piano. They did right. It wasn't even gimmick. Just 317 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: the legs were so he gets and then the legs 318 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: fall out and then he just hits super hard. I 319 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: don't know who came up with this match, but I 320 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: imagine it was one of these underpaid, underappreciated writers for 321 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: w B, Like, Hey, guitar centers having a sale, let's 322 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: just go buy all these instruments. That's what I didn't 323 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: get about that country guy coming in the ring. The 324 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: spot made no sense that he comes in, No one cheers, 325 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: Everyone's going, who's that? And then he hits him with 326 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: the guitar and nobody cared.

I there were so we're actually cool. Like 340 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: when he smashed him in the drums. That was stupid, 341 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: but it made me laugh, but like the symbols great. 342 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: When he tried to jump off the top rope Elias 343 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: with the broken guitar and he's gonna like hit him 344 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: with the just the neck of it. Is it called 345 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: the neck, I don't know. Instruments, no neck of the guitar, 346 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: the goose, whatever it is. He he swings it down 347 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and then wock. It's a thumb right to his throat 348 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: and he just done those. But so there are parts 349 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: that I dug. But this was what's that guy got 350 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: in the ring? I'm like, what? Who? Who is this guy? Like? 351 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: He looks like a substitute Jim Teacher? What is going 352 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: on right now? So we don't need to get into 353 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: the matches too much on this. And I know we've 354 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: side quested and and talked a lot of smack, but 355 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: the main event was well, no, let's here. There's one 356 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: match that we should talk about, Austin Theory versus Seth Rawlins, 357 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: which should be my best of the week. Uh, Sadly 358 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: it is not because something awful is and uh, these guys, 359 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just feel like Seth Rollins 360 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: is like Brian Danielson, right, it doesn't matter who he 361 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: wrestles of the time, he makes them look amazing and 362 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: he makes himself look amazing. At the same time. They 363 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: set this match up a little with him in a 364 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: backstage segment and that energy that he has that. Yeah, 365 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: that works better in the middle of a ring with 366 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: people all around you than it does backstage. So I 367 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: wasn't even that hyped to see the match, Like, oh man, 368 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: that's they should have let him out. So I know 369 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: they're trying to keep time short, give people time for matches, 370 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: but just either have him piste off that he doesn't 371 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: have the belt right now, or just lose that and 372 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 1: let theory try to get over backstage. Right So then 373 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: they get out there and the match starts and it 374 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: felt like they wrestled for thirty minutes. Bro like it 375 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: was crazy. It was crazy, and I loved it. I 376 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: loved the false finishes, I love the back and fourth 377 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: of it. I loved every single thing about this match. 378 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: It's like I said, it should be my match or 379 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: my best of the week, but the Music City Disaster 380 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: is my is my favorite of this week. Let's go 381 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: to a E W Dynamite Sir Ricky freaking starts versus 382 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Chris Jericho. Dude, Seattle, your homestead. I'm just gonna say this, 383 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take over because it's your hometown. 384 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: This crowd was so freaking height and so good and 385 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: so strong all night long. I love this match. The 386 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: crowd was a big part of it because the guy 387 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: started working off of them, and my guy, Ricky Starks 388 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: gotta win. He took a beating afterwards, but he gotta win. 389 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Tell me about the match, and just tell me about 390 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: Seattle a little bit, dude, because this crowd was awesome. 391 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't understand how Seattle gets the reputation of being 392 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: the the loudest audience or the loudest I don't know 393 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: how a group of people could have such a reputation, 394 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: but it is a Seattle thing. They used to say, 395 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: like the Kingdom was the loudest stadium in baseball, and 396 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: then they said that's probably because it's in a dome 397 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: and so all the all the sound is trapped in there. 398 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: But it turns out it isn't. It turns out it's 399 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: just loud Pacific Northwest people. Because we built the it 400 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: was Seahawks Stadium, then it was lumen Field, quest Field, this, this, this. 401 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: The stadiums had a millionaires, but it's for the Seahawks 402 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: and it's open air, and we're known as the loudest crowd. 403 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: I think we have the record for the loudest decibels 404 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: all this different stuff. Also, they called the twelfth Man 405 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: because we're so loud that we affect the football games. 406 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: And in um One of the longest booings in wrestling 407 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: history was in Seattle because Elias came out and made 408 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of Seattle Super Sonics jokes about us losing 409 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: the basketball team, and the crowd crowd bowed Alias so 410 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: long that it was like a record. There was a 411 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: they couldn't it was so loud and I'm not and 412 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: Alias really milked and he was smiling like he loved it, 413 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: and it it was if you look it up on YouTube, 414 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: must have been eating it up. I can't wait to watch. 415 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: It's pretty sweet. And it's also like so hometown pride, 416 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: Like I'm like, yes, just blew the heck out of 417 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: this guy. But they were in it all night last. 418 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: They bowed um m JF a lot like like he 419 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: got like they really give him the business. So they 420 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: were a huge part of this match as well. I 421 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: love this match. I love Chris Jericho. I'm learning to 422 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: love Ricky Starks. I'm I'm a new Ricky Starks guy 423 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: because of this podcast and You and You and Big Album. 424 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: Basically convincing me to him too. Yeah, he just got 425 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: hip to him this year. But what I'm confused about 426 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: is not confused. I'm surprised about is that he beat Jericho. 427 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: The match was good, the match was fun and the 428 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: and like you said, it was very hype. He pinned 429 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: him clean. He pinned Jericho and that dude that came 430 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: out with the chair leader with the burn up face. 431 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: He let that kid get a win on get a 432 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: win over on him like two or three weeks ago. Man, 433 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: Jericho is down to let you shine if he believes 434 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: in you. He just can't. He can't get everyone at once, right, 435 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: So he tries to get the like the mid card 436 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: guys over by joining the Jericho Appreciation Society. And then 437 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: the guys that he goes against are the guys he 438 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: thinks could be a top guy or have potential to 439 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: be a top guy. Let's see what he's got, let's 440 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: build him up, and I'm willing to lose. So when 441 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: you see him do it to someone who's coming in 442 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: on their first match, like a R No, not it 443 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: wasn't a r It was action and Ratti or something 444 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: like that. And then you see him do it to 445 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: someone like Ricky who's in his thirties. He looks like 446 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: he's in his twenties, but Ricky's older in his thirties, 447 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: and you're just like, dude, you'll put anyone over so 448 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: long as you believe in it. Doesn't matter what anyone 449 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: else thinks. If you believe in him, you're like, hey, 450 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: let's give this guy shot, Let's see what happens. And 451 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: he does it all the time. I don't think it 452 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: gets talked about enough. And it's a business of selfishness. 453 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: So it sounds corny to say it's a selfless thing 454 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: for him to do, Like it's almost cringe e in 455 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: the wrestling world, but it's that's what it is. Man Like, 456 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: at this age in his career, he should be doing that, 457 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: but I don't think a lot of people would. And 458 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: that's why I believe it's commendable. Yeah, he's awesome. I'm 459 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: a big, big fan of the way he treats wrestling, 460 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: in the way he respects wrestling, in the way he 461 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: like handles himself and his career. He's he's he's awesome. Also, 462 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: I'll be on his boat cruise week the week in February. 463 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be at the Jericho Jericho Cruise.

It is interesting in the ring end. 483 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: To be stuck on on the boat is fascinating because 484 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: it's like you're like, it's like it'd be like living 485 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: with your fans for a week, like just together.

I have no issue doing it. 492 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: But dude, I need alone time, like and that's and 493 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: that means the majority of the day is leave Freddy 494 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: the f alone. If you need something, I'm there for you. 495 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: But if you're just gonna text me, like, hey, the 496 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: middle of the burrito was hot, but the outsides were cold. 497 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: What do you think that. It's like, I'm gonna jump 498 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: out of window on the first text, on the first text. 499 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: And Sarah learned that early back in the day when 500 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: we had these things called rims, and they were like 501 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: text pagers that you could send messages to each other 502 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 1: in the nineties, but you could send like full novels. 503 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: So every girl who got it, that's all their main 504 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: got were the novels where it's like the guy once 505 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, okay, seven thirty sushi. It's like it's 506 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: all one word answers. And then my wife would send 507 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: one and I wrote her one time I said, I 508 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: didn't read any of this, and any others that are 509 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: this long, I will not read either. And I sent 510 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: it and it lets you know when they were read, 511 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: and so it would pop up and it's you know, 512 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: it's got the check. Next I think it's a check 513 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: or had the letter R and nothing. For like two hours, 514 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: she was she was dealing with your dealing with it. 515 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: She's going on, this is the guy was like, oh shit, 516 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: did I just mess this up? Do I hate him? 517 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: Do I love him? At least he was honest. But 518 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: that was kind of a dick move, like she had 519 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: to go through all those emotions and it took her 520 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: two hours before she wrote back, I hear you, and 521 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: that was it. I was like, there you go. You 522 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: set a boundary. You set a boundary. That's that. That's good. Anyways, Yeah, 523 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 1: you would have been together one years, man, not like 524 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: with the cruise. Um, but I'm gonna love the cruise. 525 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: You will. And you do well with with people, you 526 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: do well with strangers. You have to go on the 527 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: road and talk to strangers. I don't think you like 528 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: Darby Allen versus Samoa Joe, so if you don't want 529 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: to talk about it, we won't because I don't. You're 530 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: not a Samoa joke guy, and I don't think you 531 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: even like those matches that much. But there were gimmicks 532 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of ladders, So if you want to, 533 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, and I'm happy to discuss. Otherwise, I'm 534 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: just not I don't know if I have much to 535 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: contribute to it. But you can talk to the people 536 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: about it. They might want to hear you talk about 537 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: I just don't have much to contribute. I thought it 538 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: was awesome. I thought the story was great because Darby 539 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: is a Seattle guy, and he won that title in 540 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: his hometown. Usually in w w E, that's a guaranteed 541 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: loss on your on your record, not that they use 542 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: records in w w E. But Darby has gone through 543 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: a strange evolution. When he first broke in, he was 544 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: this question mark, right, he was this He was like 545 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: the Riddler, but not like the corny Riddler, like a 546 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: sexy riddler, right, Like a guy who's terrorizing Gotham has 547 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: good reasons, but doesn't look like any of the people 548 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: that have ever played the Riddler. He looks like, you know, 549 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: it's a sexy dude, right, And then from there it 550 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: got to just vanilla ice cream man, where there was 551 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: just nothing there for him. They gave him sting fast. 552 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: It's fascinating that it works. I didn't think it would work. 553 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: It works much better now than when they started, because 554 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: he started doing this like is he this tortured soul 555 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: or is he a skateboarder cruising down the street like 556 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: goth style but still cool. He's got a good life. 557 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: He's skating. How bad can it be? And it didn't 558 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: quite match. And then he slowly, very slowly started to 559 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: let like the tortured haunted part go, like the was 560 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: the vampire Twilight, like the emo guy, Like he's letting 561 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: that go, and he's being a bit more himself, Like 562 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: I follow a w on Instagram and I'll see a 563 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of the promos they cut to like get you 564 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: hyped for the matches, And he's speaking much more naturally now. 565 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: He seems more confident while doing that. Um, and I 566 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: was I'm starting to feel him more. I've I haven't 567 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: always been complimentary about him. His his wrestling is amazing. 568 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: I think he should take three months off a year 569 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: um in a row to let his freaking body heal. 570 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: But I was never like, oh my god, dude, I'm 571 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: a dad, like to see those falls. Man, It's just like, oh, 572 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: like my son will get on the trampoline. I'm like, 573 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: be careful, son to turn into a helicopter. But yeah, 574 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: so I'm starting to like him more. And I just 575 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: thought it was a nice story. And if this is 576 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: the direction they're going to continue to go and he 577 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: continues to grow, then I think he really can be 578 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: one of those pillars of the company that I used 579 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: to think he could be. And then I was like, nah, 580 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: that's wrong about that. It's all on m JF shoulders 581 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: pretty much. And now I'm starting to see, like why 582 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: Kenny Omega is important, why Darby is important. I'm not 583 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: a hangman page guy, but I get why he's important. 584 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I thought it was a nice match 585 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: with a nice story, and Joe did the right job, 586 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: and I thought all was right with the world. Yeah, 587 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: and I I like Darby Allen one thing you can 588 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: that maybe not everyone knows. He's brutal, on the outside 589 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: of his body. But he's like a super super like 590 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: clean eating, doesn't drink, doesn't do d He's like sober, 591 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: straight edge guy. So I just I love him. I 592 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: think he's great, and I thought it was awesome that 593 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: they even gave him the confetti in Seattle confetti. That's 594 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: pretty cool. I really liked it, man, and I haven't 595 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: been I like that. I'm coming back around to him. 596 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: I like him.

And Roman it starts and to feel 653 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: some pressure he might be losing his title soon, and 654 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: he gets piste and he gives him the side I 655 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: right like the you son, I'm gonna kill you, and 656 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: he says, do you want to beat me? And sam 657 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a mic, he can't even defend himself verbally, 658 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: but you see the lips go on, I don't I 659 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: don't want to.

No, no no, no, I 661 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: don't want to be It's not what you want. Why 662 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: are you trying to be? Like? And he just goes 663 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: in on him. He doesn't drop any f because he's 664 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: a pro. Right. He goes in on him and we 665 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: see major tension for the first time, which is pretty 666 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: freaking cool. And then you see this kind of lead 667 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: into Kevin Owens coming out and saying he whoa, whoa Wait, yeah, man, 668 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: you're not mad at You're not mad at Sammy, who 669 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: gets mad at their emotional support dog son of a bitch, 670 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: That's what he says to him, and he says, you're 671 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: mad at me, and Romans is right, like, yeah, that's right, 672 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm mad at you. And he's like, yeah, I know 673 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: you're mad at me. And he goes, if you're so mad, 674 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: why don't you give me a match at the Royal 675 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: Rumble and Roman Reigns is like fine, he's had it. 676 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: He just hates this guy. He legit says like, I 677 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: just want to be done with you. I don't want 678 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: to see you, I don't want to hear you. Maybe 679 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: there's some shoot stuff in there because he got palmed 680 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: in the ear by Kevin Owens at War Games, so 681 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: maybe there's like some real stuff in there. Trying to 682 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: make it extra spicy. It's like I'm doing you can 683 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: have your match, And even Paul Hayman's like, oh hard 684 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: my tramp Chief. These are these are the expressions they're emoting. 685 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: They didn't all get this sweet dialogue that I'm cutting right, 686 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: And Kevin Owens gets what he wants and he leaves, 687 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: which leads us to the end of the show, and uh, 688 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: Sammy's been trying to talk to the Chief man and 689 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: the Chief's not not having it all show two hours. 690 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: He finally brings him in and Sammy's trying to apologize. 691 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't even know what to apologize for, but he knows, 692 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: he knows he's upset his chief, and so he's just 693 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: trying to make it right. And he finishes and Roman says, 694 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: I own accept your apology, and sam he's like, oh 695 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: show ship man, I just I don't even know what 696 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: I did wrong yet. What's going on again? This is there? 697 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: These are his emotions and then Roman Ran says stop. 698 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: Roman says, I owe you an apology. And this was 699 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: a very sweet soap opera moment. And then he switched. 700 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: But he switches it on him. You think he's being nice. 701 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm feeling this pressure. I shouldn't be going 702 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: in on you, but I'm gonna give you a chance 703 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: to redeem yourself and make it up to me, even 704 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: though I owe you an apology. You're gonna wrestle Kevin 705 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: Owen's next week before the Royal Rumble, and like they 706 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: said in Karate Kid, I want him out of commission. 707 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: And the kids like, but since I can beat this guy, 708 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: and he just looks at him. He goes, I don't 709 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: want him beaten out of commission. That's what Paul Hayman 710 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: says to him. He was summoning his his inner Chrease. 711 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: John Chrease was that character's name from Karate Kid some 712 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: some mom and uh. And that's set up what's hopefully 713 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge Friday Night SmackDown this week. Sammy 714 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: Zane in the main event against Kevin Freaking Owens. I 715 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: didn't say freaking, that's not gimmick infringement. And the two 716 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: best friends are going to fight. What to the death, 717 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: we don't know, but definitely to the pain. I hope 718 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: to the death. That'd be more interesting to watch. They're 719 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: best friends, no kidding. And a bunch of other stuff 720 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: happened on the show too, but but it wasn't to me. 721 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't a great Friday Night SmackDown, but we got 722 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: time to talk one match if there was something that 723 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: you like that tickled your wrestling fancy. Ricochet looked amazing 724 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: as always, but he also made Top Dollar look terrible. 725 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: Top Dollar looks so sluggish, and and it was it 726 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: was interesting to watch, um, but that was my worst 727 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: of the week. That's all I was bringing it up. 728 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: I will say this. Yes, it's also Ricochet's job to 729 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: make his opponent look great too. However, Top Dollars, the 730 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: same guy who tried to go over the top rope 731 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: clipped it and flipped pus his own nast like he's 732 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: not the best worker. So maybe that's as good as 733 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: Ricochet can make Top Dollar look because Top Dollars not 734 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: at the level that he needs to be in yet. 735 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: But yes, very average dollar, it was not very able 736 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: to look clean. That's only that I'm bringing it up 737 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: because Ricochet looks great when he jumps off that top rope, 738 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: like it is amazing how high he gets, Like Ricochet 739 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: is just finished. It looked like he got higher than normal. 740 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: And maybe it's because the guy he's landed on was 741 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: so much bigger than he was, But it looked like 742 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: he went twenty feet in the air and landed perfect 743 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: like he always did. Also, Charlotte Flair doesn't look like 744 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: herself anymore. She she looks I will barely recognize her. 745 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you haven't seen her in along. It has been 746 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: a while, it's been eight months. Um, we didn't even 747 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: talk about that. We're both on vacation when it happened. Uh, 748 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: And some people are mad that Charlotte is champ again. 749 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: Why do you really want that title around Ronda roused 750 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: these ways? Or when Raquel Rodriguez comes in, do you 751 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: want her to get it off someone that's legit, that 752 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: the company respects, so that it means more, or she's 753 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: just gonna win it off a part timer like no, 754 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: put it on Charlotte and then let Charlotte and Raquel 755 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: go to WrestleMania and it'll be an awesome match, and 756 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,439 Speaker 1: Raquel can be the good guy by that point because 757 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: everyone will start booing Charlotte the only cheer about a month, 758 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: and then they all turned to booze on her every 759 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: single title run um and then everybody's happy and and 760 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: then and everybody wins. You don't want Ronda still with 761 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: the title, I promise. So I like the Charlotte's champ 762 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: and I like Charlotte. I think Charlotte is she's the 763 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: whole girl. She's like the whole code of women's wrestling. 764 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: And in my she done, she's awesome, and she's a beast, 765 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm happy she's champing and she got that 766 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: figure eight. Sonya Deville took it like a champ to 767 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: sold that pain. I don't know if you notice this, 768 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: but you know, she's supposed to be babyface right like 769 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: Charlotte right now, and she's snatched the belt from the 770 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: female referee like the way the way like a heel 771 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: would famously, you know, like she she snatched the belt 772 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: like give me that, and then you can see her realized, like, oh, yeah, 773 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: shouldn't it that. She goes, oh, sorry, sorry, she apologized 774 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: to now I know, yeah, she goes she put on 775 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: this super like fake smile and went thank you. And 776 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: I was like, why that was weird? I missed. I 777 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: must have not been looking at the moment she snatched 778 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: the belt and missed that. So that's why she did. 779 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: And I have a theory that that's the Vince McMahon 780 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: that's ingrained in her. Like it's like this like, oh, 781 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get heat backstage for for doing that. Vince 782 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 1: is gonna go, you're not our heel. You don't snatch 783 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: the belt from the referee, and so like I think 784 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: that was her trying to overcorrect like, oh, well, thank you. 785 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: I'm so you know, she like she realized, oh, I'm 786 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble for this. I was wondering why 787 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: that was so big because that's not normally her m O. 788 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: I was like, that was weird, But alright, moving on, 789 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: were you going to be this weekend?
