Speaker 1: I think that the world is not being positive enough
Speaker 1: about Willow Nightingale. I think we see her because she's
Speaker 1: because she's such a face as she smiles, and she's
Speaker 1: doing such a good job of being the good guy
Speaker 1: wrestler that we're not giving enough credits. I think she
Speaker 1: should have like a Bailey moment where people realize, like,
Speaker 1: this chick is really good.
Speaker 2: And now you're mad.
Speaker 3: Even introducing ghosts wrestling Win Forreddy, Jeff Died and for
Speaker 3: Ready Friends tunor what's up?
Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 4: Welcome to a brand new episode, a sad, sad episode
Speaker 4: of wrestling with Freddy because it was the end of
Speaker 4: a career, Jeff, and it not only broke my heart,
Speaker 4: but it broke my pocketbook too. We're gonna get into
Speaker 4: that and everything else in a minute, but first off,
Speaker 4: we'll tell you about the week weekend. How we're doing. Jeff,
Speaker 4: you have a lovely jacket as the weather cools to
Speaker 4: keep you warm. I thought it was a vest, but
Speaker 4: you you explained it to me, but it could be
Speaker 4: a cool la and I vest. I'm just saying, how
Speaker 4: is your weekend, sir? Weekend was good.
Speaker 1: It is getting colder here in Los Angeles, the rest
Speaker 1: of Earth doesn't want to hear us complain about sixty
Speaker 1: five degrees winter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh it's freezing. I gotta put on my north face.
Speaker 1: Fleet me too, I'm talking about I have been rocking
Speaker 1: vests lately because of you, and because of our pridisier Alex,
Speaker 1: and because of La Night. I'm feeling very vest You're
Speaker 1: feeling very vesty lately.
Speaker 2: I love it. But so this isn't one. But just
Speaker 2: since you mentioned it, I wanted to let everyone know
Speaker 2: you will.
Speaker 4: Be seeing me in more vests. Oh yeah, it's because
Speaker 4: you got balls, bro, That's why I'm big. I love
Speaker 4: balls to rock the vest, all.
Speaker 1: Right, cowboys wear them. You know a lot of You're
Speaker 1: the last cowboy, You're the last cold. Yeah, with the
Speaker 1: last vest. My weekend was good. I didn't get to
Speaker 1: watch Wrestle Dream Live. I was at Disneyland, the happiest
Speaker 1: place on earth if you're twelve or maybe like fifteen.
Speaker 2: My daughter's fifteen, so yes, it's still cool that she
Speaker 2: she does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she likes the rides. She doesn't care about the
Speaker 4: princesses and all that stuff. She just wants to go
Speaker 4: on the rides and see if like is tower of
Speaker 4: Terror or now it's the Avengers Tower. I don't know,
Speaker 4: the one that goes up and down. She was like,
Speaker 4: I want to see if it's scarier after two pm,
Speaker 4: like they said, and it was.
Speaker 2: Sometimes a girl at that age is already like over
Speaker 2: everything and just wants to like talk to her friends
Speaker 2: or be on the phone or something. But like she
Speaker 2: likes it. She still enjoys Disney.
Speaker 4: You know, she likes rides. She's going to Horror Nights.
Speaker 4: We're going to knots Berry Farm, which has way like
Speaker 4: more hardcore adult rides that do like tons of flips,
Speaker 4: more my speed. But Disney is still cool. Man, Like,
Speaker 4: the kids had a blast and they were super good
Speaker 4: to us. We did that host thing again that oh nice, yeah,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, you guys hate it, but man, without it,
Speaker 4: I would have been a pinball and a pinball machine
Speaker 4: jack with people going.
Speaker 2: Hey is that? Wait?
Speaker 5: No, that's not hey is that? And I was like, well,
Speaker 5: I just want to kill out run. They only hate it.
Speaker 5: They only hate it because they ain't it. That's what's
Speaker 5: going on. If everyone could do the guide that they
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 2: We had. She was the nicest lady. Her name was
Speaker 2: Haley Shout out to Haley. She was so good to
Speaker 2: my kids.
Speaker 4: And another family was there with us with their baby,
Speaker 4: and their baby had guts.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: The baby was only eight years old or eight years
Speaker 4: eight months old and was going on like every ride
Speaker 4: you're allowed to bring a baby on, and didn't cry once.
Speaker 4: She was laughing eight months eight months, So like the
Speaker 4: Peter Pan rides and all these like things that are
Speaker 4: safe for her to be on, they can bring her
Speaker 4: on as long as they're holding her. We even went
Speaker 4: on like this one that was like a goofy train
Speaker 4: ride thing.
Speaker 2: And I don't remember the name of the ride. Sorry.
Speaker 2: I also don't read the title pages of my script,
Speaker 2: so I'm not like crapping on right now.
Speaker 4: But yeah, she went on everything rides where I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: my freaking neck, and she's.
Speaker 2: Like, ah, I didn't even know you could gangs.
Speaker 1: I need to google eight months old. I didn't even
Speaker 1: I don't know what eight months looks like. But I
Speaker 1: would have never guessed that they could be on a
Speaker 1: ride bigger than a bread box, bigger than a bread box.
Speaker 2: Wild.
Speaker 4: But they're not like running around and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: All right, you guys, you heard enough about our bullshit.
Speaker 4: Just catching up with us. Yeah, just catching up. It's
Speaker 4: time to talk some wrestling. Wrestle dream for your boy.
Speaker 4: Freddie was a wrestle nightmare. My picks were not good.
Speaker 4: But if you're a listener of the show and you
Speaker 4: have the discerning taste that we know you do, you
Speaker 4: know that when you listen to the show and you
Speaker 4: follow these shows picks, we're more right than we are wrong,
Speaker 4: and sometimes we're perfect. And in this case, you like, well, yeah,
Speaker 4: until the end, okay, but who cares? You got your
Speaker 4: picks wrong, but you liked it. No, But I was
Speaker 4: sad that Danielson lost. Here's what's awesome is he totally
Speaker 4: lost and went out on his terms the way he
Speaker 4: wanted to go out, and it was such like an
Speaker 4: old school way, like when a wrestler would leave a
Speaker 4: territory and everyone would attack him and you know, beat
Speaker 4: his ass out of there. So that in that regard
Speaker 4: it felt cool and was awesome. But Brian was one
Speaker 4: of my favorite guys.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 4: Brian was one of the first guys that ever came
Speaker 4: to my little like acting class when I worked at WWE,
Speaker 4: Like when everyone else was shitting all over and it
Speaker 4: was like I'm not gonna fucking go to that. It
Speaker 4: was like him, Miss and Nemath were like the three
Speaker 4: first dudes that showed up, and he was so frigging
Speaker 4: cool and was like he wasn't like, hey, I'm here,
Speaker 4: let's learn. He was like, I'm gonna see if you're legit,
Speaker 4: if you actually care, or if you're just here to
Speaker 4: you know, party with Vince and try to sleep with
Speaker 4: divas and all that kind of stuff. Right, And well,
Speaker 4: you know, that's how they looked at Hollywood, like that's
Speaker 4: how they wanted hot. They really wanted to keep Hollywood
Speaker 4: out of there, because that's that's was their perception of it,
Speaker 4: right or wrong.
Speaker 2: But with me, they were wrong. I was, well, Wrestling's
Speaker 2: always been the circus and Hollywood's always been Hollywood, and
Speaker 2: so I imagine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't like outsiders in there. So a lot
Speaker 4: of a lot of cats made me earn it, which
Speaker 4: was okay, and he was one of them. But once
Speaker 4: he saw that, I was like, I actually cared about
Speaker 4: these these guys and girls, and I wanted to see,
Speaker 4: you know, help make their dreams come true and see
Speaker 4: good things happen for him. And you know, I'd even
Speaker 4: talk to him just if they were having a bad day,
Speaker 4: if I had time, and once he kind of saw
Speaker 4: that he was so cool and started like telling other
Speaker 4: like young wrestlers, like no, it's not it's not bullshit,
Speaker 4: Like he's actually trying to help us. So I have
Speaker 4: I have like a and we're not friends, like I
Speaker 4: don't have his number or anything like that. But I
Speaker 4: just always respected that about him, and I always liked
Speaker 4: him extra because of that. So when I saw him
Speaker 4: become champion, despite the fact the company did not have
Speaker 4: a plan to make him champion, that was the people
Speaker 4: that made that with their yes chant to see him
Speaker 4: accomplish all the things he accomplished and then have it
Speaker 4: all taken away because they didn't want him to wrestle
Speaker 4: anymore because they didn't want to be liable for a
Speaker 4: lawsuit later in life, which was the only reason why
Speaker 4: in my in my view, that they would do something
Speaker 4: like that. So he goes to another company, helps build
Speaker 4: that company, wasn't one of the wasn't the first guy there,
Speaker 4: but was there in the early times, helped build it
Speaker 4: to what it is now, gave some phenomenal matches, and
Speaker 4: got to go out on his terms. All that sounds great,
Speaker 4: except I really like watching him wrestle, so that story
Speaker 4: sucks for me. I don't want him to be I
Speaker 4: don't want him to be gone.
Speaker 1: But don't you think there's so many more things to respect,
Speaker 1: like you know, like as far as like sure, we
Speaker 1: won't get to see him, but he did make a
Speaker 1: multiple claims that he's doing this for his family. He's
Speaker 1: doing it for his kids or kid daughter. I think
Speaker 1: he's doing it hour two or one. Yeah, he definitely
Speaker 1: he's doing it for his kid, he's doing it for
Speaker 1: his wife, he's doing it for his body. Right, like
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestlers, maybe we should have seen it
Speaker 1: a little earlier, and you guys.
Speaker 4: Did I'm the one that turned a blind eye. You
Speaker 4: guys explained this in your pick like I also like
Speaker 4: list well, well, yeah, you're betting with what you want.
Speaker 4: But I will say, like I also predicted it last week.
Speaker 4: He'll be back. He'll be back. He's they don't go anywhere,
Speaker 4: so it's fine.
Speaker 1: Even when he had that neck injury and they wasn't
Speaker 1: cleared to wrestle, we saw him every week for years.
Speaker 1: With that, you know, they found a way to put
Speaker 1: him in wrestling somehow. So wrestling is too much a
Speaker 1: part of this guy for him to disappear. We'll still
Speaker 1: see him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, you're right. Well, let's just keep talking
Speaker 4: about the main event. Then we can get into the
Speaker 4: other matches as time allows. He lost the match abruptly
Speaker 4: in a rear naked choke. Moxley didn't have his feet
Speaker 4: hooked in the in the hips. He could have gotten
Speaker 4: his ankle turned the way he had that foot grip.
Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's all right. It was pro wrestling,
Speaker 2: not jiu jitsu.
Speaker 4: Brian didn't see the ankle locked there, that's all right,
Speaker 4: and he got choked out unconscious, and then, of course,
Speaker 4: because it's going to be an old school finish and
Speaker 4: they're going to run the guy out, they all tried
Speaker 4: to murder Brian Danielson a second time until help finally
Speaker 4: came and arrived in the form of Wheeler Judah and
Speaker 4: Darby Allen, who wrestled earlier that night and had brutal,
Speaker 4: freaking match. Man, that dude is built like Gumby. I
Speaker 4: swear to god, man, it's the only way he's able
Speaker 4: to do that. They came out, they got beat down,
Speaker 4: private party. Another team that gave a hell of a
Speaker 4: match and a great ending, man like when the dude
Speaker 4: broke down. We can get into that later if you want.
Speaker 4: But they came out, man, they got beat up. It
Speaker 4: took everybody and their grandma to come out there and
Speaker 4: help Wheeler Uda.
Speaker 2: Son of a bitch.
Speaker 4: You turned on him, He turned on Brian Danielson, You
Speaker 4: tried to murder him too. All he ever did was
Speaker 4: look out for you, son of a bitch, And then
Speaker 4: they finally got him out of there on a freaking stretcher,
Speaker 4: which is an awesome, slash horrible way to go out.
Speaker 2: I liked it.
Speaker 4: I was just sad mess the end of a I
Speaker 4: know you, like you said, and you're dead right, You're
Speaker 4: He's gonna come back. He'll be in a match here,
Speaker 4: He'll be in a match there like every five years.
Speaker 4: But it's just you know, he I think he's one
Speaker 4: of the greats, right, But also what if?
Speaker 2: What if?
Speaker 1: What what if he comes back next week?
Speaker 2: And it was like, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: What if he comes back? He's he goes? Really you
Speaker 2: guys thought I was gonna leave on a stretcher.
Speaker 1: No, you've lit a fire under my ass and Brian
Speaker 1: Danison is back. Nobody, nobody turns on me like that,
Speaker 1: you know, just completely swarm everybody as far as like yeah,
Speaker 1: that would.
Speaker 2: Be the biggest ever.
Speaker 4: That's like Barbara streisand retiring and then being like, all right,
Speaker 4: I'm done with the business, and the very next week
Speaker 4: announcing a tour, the Yeah World Tour, which w I.
Speaker 1: Need to remind wrestling fans of Michael Jordan, Brett farre
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. How often do we see someone go I'd
Speaker 1: say it, I'm calling it, write your little cute Facebook
Speaker 1: post about how much you'll miss me, then bat a boom.
Speaker 4: The next month they're right back at it. Well, I
Speaker 4: secretly hope you're right or yeah, that happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, the Blackpool Combat Club is so rad. There're
Speaker 2: so me dude, They're dicks.
Speaker 1: I've never loved anything the way I love it, the
Speaker 1: way John Moxley has reinvented himself and like the earring,
Speaker 1: the bald head, the all black, the way they're just
Speaker 1: coming out there saying listen, just being like you know what,
Speaker 1: I never got my flowers, I've never gotten my respect
Speaker 1: the way I should. And I'm done tap dancing for
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon. I'm done tap dancing for Tony Kahan. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and we're gonna show everyone that
Speaker 1: we're the best. No frills, no gimmicks, no costume in music,
Speaker 1: which we love, costume of music. I'm not criticizing any
Speaker 1: of that, but it's these guys who have just said,
Speaker 1: enough's enough, Vendetta ride, let's go. And I think they're
Speaker 1: the coolest thing that's in wrestling right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're badass, but they're jerks. Man beat up and
Speaker 4: Daniel Brian or Brian Danison like that. That's some bullshit,
Speaker 4: but whatever.
Speaker 1: I think everyone can identify with that though, and not
Speaker 1: getting their flowers and then being like, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: my flower.
Speaker 4: That's what you're clicking with that, that's what it is.
Speaker 4: They found so something that you could like genuinely click
Speaker 4: with and now you can ride or die with them. See,
Speaker 4: that's why wrestling's cool. Man, They'll find something like that.
Speaker 4: I've gotten flowers before. Man, they die.
Speaker 2: That is true. They flowers don't last long. They're pretty,
Speaker 2: but they don't last long.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Back of the day, they used to do these things
Speaker 4: called like I don't know if they still do it
Speaker 4: like the Nickelodeon Awards or they and the.
Speaker 2: Kids give you a big surfboar. Yeah, surfboards.
Speaker 4: So I had one like a bunch of those surf
Speaker 4: I don't know, like three or four or five something
Speaker 4: like that. I gave them away to some to some kid,
Speaker 4: like the very next day. They were in the back
Speaker 4: of my truck and I was going surfing on a
Speaker 4: real surfboard. You couldn't surf on those. And I had
Speaker 4: driven myself to the event, like I was the only
Speaker 4: dag ass that like didn't get a limousine. I was like, man,
Speaker 4: I just want to drive myself so I can leave
Speaker 4: when I want to leave and not have to wait.
Speaker 4: So I had parked in like ballet then and walked in.
Speaker 4: Was the only asshole that did that and won those surfboards.
Speaker 4: And some kid was like, yo, man, I saw you
Speaker 4: on that show, and uh you won those those surfboards? Man,
Speaker 4: are those them? You take them with you everywhere? And
Speaker 4: I was like, no, you dig I just don't want him.
Speaker 4: I forgot him in there. They're still in the car,
Speaker 4: and he was like, dude, let me have him if
Speaker 4: you don't care. I was like, bro, take them, and
Speaker 4: so he took them. I don't know if he tried
Speaker 4: to surf or not, but I don't have any of them.
Speaker 2: Game. I love that.
Speaker 1: I saw one of those in Dane Cook's garage and
Speaker 1: it was just covered in dirt and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: all those other like awards and his letterman Q cards,
Speaker 1: all that stuff is gone his office wall, but this
Speaker 1: one's just in the garage.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: That was one of those award shows where they were like, hey,
Speaker 4: do you want to come to the to the Teen
Speaker 4: Choice Awards? And I said no, and they said, well
Speaker 4: you what if we told you you won all these awards?
Speaker 2: And I was like, fine, I'll fucking go.
Speaker 4: I think I was like twenty years old, maybe twenty one, dude,
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 1: It also might have gotten a little bit better of
Speaker 1: placement in your home if it was not a giant surfboard.
Speaker 2: They were small though.
Speaker 4: They weren't even like a six foot or like like
Speaker 4: you know, decapitator, which I can't surf anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm forty eight years old.
Speaker 4: I surf a longboard, but like I used to surf
Speaker 4: like a six to two and this was like a
Speaker 4: five to two so it's not even a surfable board.
Speaker 4: It just has to take up a huge space that
Speaker 4: just goes look at me.
Speaker 2: And I don't. I don't want that in my house.
Speaker 2: Too big for a bookshelf. Still, some guy probably turned
Speaker 2: it into modern arts somewhere in Venice.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: It's it probably looks sweet until it got burnt up
Speaker 2: and sold or something. I'm going to find it. I'm
Speaker 2: going to find out the internet. It's going to go
Speaker 2: in my house, all right, dude.
Speaker 4: Former guest of the show, Mariah May the Champion say
Speaker 4: that again, the champ. She's not losing this belt for
Speaker 4: a long ass time, not until Australia against Tony Storm
Speaker 4: against Willow Nightingale. Now, see, our producer wants us to
Speaker 4: say that he was wrong on this one because he
Speaker 4: had picked Britt Baker. But Britt Baker got sick. She
Speaker 4: had strep throat, which I used to get as a
Speaker 4: kid all the time. And then I had puberty and boom,
Speaker 4: never got sick again. Well that's not true. I got
Speaker 4: sick a few times, but rarely get sick. It's puberty.
Speaker 4: But anyway, he wants you to believe that, oh, he
Speaker 4: made a mistake and pick Brett Baker. No, he did not,
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to lie on this show. I'm
Speaker 4: a dealer of truth, Jeff. I'm always good man. I
Speaker 4: always deal from the top of the deck, so our
Speaker 4: honorable man.
Speaker 1: But I'll say it, Alex got this wrong. What a
Speaker 1: stupid idiot? Can you believe he didn't even predict that
Speaker 1: Britt Baker will get strep throat. What a dumb dumb
Speaker 1: We all like that, you like the Blackpool Combat Club.
Speaker 1: He just unnecessarily cruel. Look, man, we knew Mariah this.
Speaker 1: If you if you didn't listen to me on this one,
Speaker 1: shame on you. But everyone and our grandma knew who
Speaker 1: was going to win this match. If this was a
Speaker 1: betable match on whatever sites are out there that you
Speaker 1: can bet on, and you didn't bet it, that's a mistake.
Speaker 1: That's a big time mistake. This was a lock. This
Speaker 1: was a guarantee. This was like to us telling you
Speaker 1: Damian Priest was gonna beat Finn Balor, like these are
Speaker 1: they're gonna be sure things. I should tell you guys,
Speaker 1: I did even say it was a sure thing. So
Speaker 1: just remember that guy. You'all could have made dough on
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: And you didn't.
Speaker 4: Because you didn't, you didn't bet with us anyway. The
Speaker 4: Japanese strong style with chicks makes matches so much cooler
Speaker 4: to me than the regular style. When it looks like
Speaker 4: people are just beating the shit out of each other,
Speaker 4: those are my favorite matches. Like Jeff likes the big
Speaker 4: meaty guys when they're just like, oh it's the it's
Speaker 4: Godzilla versus King Kong, right, And I like more like
Speaker 4: street choreography, like that you would see in a movie,
Speaker 4: like in a fight scene, like like whatever your favorite
Speaker 4: movie is. And these chi beat each other's ass for
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes straight. And it looked like she punched her
Speaker 4: right in the frigging mouth in the head butt looked
Speaker 4: like it hit her right in the same spot. Dude,
Speaker 4: I know it's a safe move, and I know I'm
Speaker 4: just I can't see it because her hair gets in
Speaker 4: the way. But that shit looked so legit, man, And
Speaker 4: I just love when people beat each other's ass, whether
Speaker 4: it's in the UFC and whether it's chicks, whether it's
Speaker 4: dudes or whatever. Man, I just like fights, and it
Speaker 4: looked like a fight, So I really like the match.
Speaker 4: It probably isn't anybody's match of the night, and I'm
Speaker 4: not trying to sell anybody on it, but I just
Speaker 4: like when people punch each other in the face.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I very often criticize female and it's because I'm just honest.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say what I like and say what
Speaker 2: I don't like. This match was great.
Speaker 1: I think Maria May is obviously you know she's she's
Speaker 1: not underrated, she's not overrated.
Speaker 2: I think she's perfectly rated. Like Maria May is getting
Speaker 2: the respect and the yeah, she's a future star. I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: she's very very very good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I think that I think that the world is
Speaker 1: not being positive enough about Willow Nightingale. I think we
Speaker 1: see her because she's because she's such a face and
Speaker 1: she smiles and she's doing such a good job of
Speaker 1: being the good guy wrestler that we're not giving enough credit.
Speaker 1: I think she's she should have like a Bailey moment
Speaker 1: where people realize, like, this chick is really good. Every
Speaker 1: one of Willow's moves during this match, I was like
Speaker 1: it was convincing. It was like it was very like
Speaker 1: there was no it wasn't a clunky, it wasn't so slow.
Speaker 1: She's very strong, but Willow Nightingale looks strong and she
Speaker 1: does feats of strength. The punches are convincing, like she's
Speaker 1: playing her face right, like the face role perfectly, where
Speaker 1: she smiles after she does like a little splash like
Speaker 1: she's I think my.
Speaker 2: New favorite female wrestler in AW.
Speaker 1: I've always liked will and night Guil, but like, after
Speaker 1: watching this match, I was like, dude, she's really really good.
Speaker 4: So you said something really wild there. She needs a
Speaker 4: Bailey type storyline. Yeah, you're dead on with that. That's
Speaker 4: exactly what she needs to kind of finish off that
Speaker 4: character and help elevate her to the next level. So
Speaker 4: truth be told. I'm like Instagram bros with Willow. We
Speaker 4: follow each other and we've sent each other some messages
Speaker 4: like back and forth, like Yo, that match was awesome,
Speaker 4: and she's like, oh my god, I like the Horror
Speaker 4: movie and then we like bonded on video games, like
Speaker 4: she's super cool. So I like her a lot, and
Speaker 4: I think everything you just said about her is so
Speaker 4: dead on. And if she's somebody out there at AEW's
Speaker 4: got to be listening. I know they I don't know
Speaker 4: if they have a creation good or not. But for real,
Speaker 4: she just needs a Bailey type storyline to help evolve
Speaker 4: that character and get her to the next level. Because
Speaker 4: she's she's pretty, she can talk a bit. Her wrestling
Speaker 4: super duper good. She sells super big, and like Jeff said,
Speaker 4: she is strong. She can handle the smaller girls, and
Speaker 4: she makes them look good when they do all their
Speaker 4: spinning and flipping and wild ass like Luke shit. So yeah, dude,
Speaker 4: I love what you just said about Willow because I
Speaker 4: think she's really cool man. And I love when people
Speaker 4: make the punches look real. I mean maybe they are
Speaker 4: and they're just way tougher than me, because I would
Speaker 4: let anybody. Yeah, I wouldn't. I would never do that.
Speaker 4: Be like, nah, I'll keep my face looking the way
Speaker 4: it is. But uh yeah bled last week. Willow bled
Speaker 4: from the mouth last week from one of those hipputts.
Speaker 4: It looked so real, man. Anyway, I will wax poetic
Speaker 4: no longer. Next up the Champ, the TNT Champ that
Speaker 4: is Jack Perry no longer Jungle Boy. Jungle Boy's freaking dead.
Speaker 4: Jack Perry, the Man's got a beard and a hairy chest.
Speaker 4: Versus Katsuyori Shibata, the wrestler. No hair on that man's chest,
Speaker 4: and he can still take a chop or a kick,
Speaker 4: and no seller like nobody's business because he's all man.
Speaker 4: And they finally and he communicates through a language translator,
Speaker 4: which is awesome. I love that gimmick. I think it's
Speaker 4: like what the top three gimmicks at. Aw but he
Speaker 4: was awesome. He's always awesome. I like how they handle
Speaker 4: the language barrier. This was not a big story. This
Speaker 4: was just, hey, I want to challenge you, and Jack
Speaker 4: Perry going, I'll think about it, and then Jack Perry
Speaker 4: sneaking back in beat you up. Okay, let's have a match.
Speaker 4: I think he can handle more of a story than that.
Speaker 4: But I get why he didn't get a story bigger
Speaker 4: than that, and I get why he couldn't win the match,
Speaker 4: because the story is with Jack Perry, because that kid
Speaker 4: is evolving and getting better and better with each kind
Speaker 4: of pay per view that they do, and evolving his
Speaker 4: character I think in a cool way too. So I
Speaker 4: was wanting him to get rid of junk of Boy
Speaker 4: a long time ago, and it was awesome when he
Speaker 4: did so. Anyway, that said, they had this match which
Speaker 4: led which was an awesome match, but it led to
Speaker 4: and we all picked Jack.
Speaker 2: Perry, by the way, so if you picked with us,
Speaker 2: you made dough.
Speaker 4: But it led to Ryan Garcia coming out and making
Speaker 4: a say because Jack Perry is like to beat you
Speaker 4: up after I beat you, so now you got to
Speaker 4: deal with the double beating. And Ryan Garcia said, I'm
Speaker 4: from Buffalo, bitch, I don't think so, and he came out.
Speaker 2: They didn't say that, but he.
Speaker 4: Came out out, and then he's chasing Jack Perry out
Speaker 4: of there, and then here comes MJF. But again, this
Speaker 4: is not the return that we're gonna talk about. MJF
Speaker 4: comes out, he starts talking some smack to Ryan Garcia.
Speaker 4: He beats Ryan Garcia down. He's got his ring back.
Speaker 4: He found it at the pawn shop. Wow, that's fortunate
Speaker 4: that no one bought it. And he punches He's gonna
Speaker 4: you're gonna kiss the ring, you son of a bitch,
Speaker 4: You're gonna kiss it.
Speaker 2: He punches him in the head and beats him down,
Speaker 2: and here we go, Jeff, it's.
Speaker 4: Adam Cole, baby, and it was the return of Adam Cole,
Speaker 4: who put on some muscles, so much muscle he could
Speaker 4: hardly even get out of his leather jacket. When he
Speaker 4: came out, the sleeves got stuck because arms are bigger
Speaker 4: than they used to be. He was in good shape
Speaker 4: he came out. He spread it to the ring. But
Speaker 4: I think that that wardrobe malfunction gave MJF enough time
Speaker 4: to get out of the ring and run. I thought
Speaker 4: the last time I saw Adam Cole he was the
Speaker 4: devil and a bad guy on him.
Speaker 2: Jaff was a good guy.
Speaker 4: But Mjf's such a son of a bitch for being
Speaker 4: jealous of Will Osprey and everybody else in the company
Speaker 4: that we love Adam Cole now because Adam Cole to
Speaker 4: make the save and he didn't turn on Garcia for
Speaker 4: a second.
Speaker 2: I was like, is he gonna be the dell?
Speaker 4: No, okay, he's a nice guy and we all love
Speaker 4: Adam Cole again, and here is hoping to to his
Speaker 4: health because I love watching this dude wrestle, and I
Speaker 4: love this dude's frigging promos, their top top top shelf promos,
Speaker 4: and I loved that he came back to pro wrestling
Speaker 4: and is healthy and good. Jeff, what did you think
Speaker 4: you could.
Speaker 2: Talk about any of the match or whatever you want.
Speaker 4: I don't care. I just thought it was a cool
Speaker 4: re debut for Adam Cole. Baby, I loved it.
Speaker 1: I was often surprised and confused that Adam Cole wasn't
Speaker 1: more over with the fans, so it was good to
Speaker 1: see maybe this could start some momentum for him. You know,
Speaker 1: people went crazy when they heard his music, great selling
Speaker 1: as always by MJF to be like, what are you
Speaker 1: doing here? Also MJF, it looks like something was different,
Speaker 1: Like he looks strange and it's just because he clean
Speaker 1: shaved and just that like Little Switch made MJFF look
Speaker 1: like completely different to me.
Speaker 2: They don't have the scruff. But that's a really weird
Speaker 2: thing to comment. No, yeahs like Wolverine strus something I noticed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very strange, but I'm super excited about it,
Speaker 1: and I think this is gonna be perfect. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see what they do with Adam Cole. But it
Speaker 1: does seem like everyone's excited that he's he's back, So
Speaker 1: that part, that part I was very happy about.
Speaker 2: It made me pop more than the Swerve thing. I
Speaker 2: was like, I was like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is gonna be a
Speaker 4: long story. These two guys are both A plus storytellers.
Speaker 4: This isn't gonna be one of these like two three
Speaker 4: week stories like it was with with Osprey and and Max.
Speaker 4: This is gonna be long because Max is going to
Speaker 4: have his side of the story, which is you betrayed me,
Speaker 4: you set me up, you son of a bitch. And
Speaker 4: Adam Cole is gonna have his side of the story
Speaker 4: that we're yet to hear, and that promo will be
Speaker 4: awesome because it'll be story time with Uncle Adam.
Speaker 2: I can't I can't wait to see it play out.
Speaker 4: It's because you're gonna We're gonna get more than I
Speaker 4: think one pay per view match out of it. We
Speaker 4: got the AEW International Championship match. Kanaski Takeshita with Don Kallis,
Speaker 4: who is in the last year become a pretty damn
Speaker 4: good manager, especially with his commentary versus will Ospray the.
Speaker 2: Champ, the Champ of Champs. Man.
Speaker 4: This guy is so good, everybody loves him, doesn't have
Speaker 4: one hater except m Jeff and Ricochet, who is new
Speaker 4: to AEW, can wrestle his ass off, has already kind
Speaker 4: of demonstrated his skills and if you're not familiar with
Speaker 4: him because you hate WW and you only like aw
Speaker 4: now you get to see all this awesomeness, or you're like, dude, whatever,
Speaker 4: we watched him in an MJPW before you even knew
Speaker 4: he was all right, fine whatever, jerks. Anyway, they wrestled.
Speaker 4: I could hear what they were saying, Jeff, this match
Speaker 4: is match of the night. This shit was so crazy,
Speaker 4: so awesome. Conna SKay was like exactly what you wanted
Speaker 4: him to be. The big strong guy who's going to
Speaker 4: beat the shit out of both of them every once
Speaker 4: in a while, and then they'll do all their flying,
Speaker 4: crazy lucha moves on him because he's so big and strong,
Speaker 4: he can do it with both guys on his shoulders.
Speaker 2: He's a stut.
Speaker 4: I picked Osprey, Jeff pick Ricochet, and our producer picked
Speaker 4: to Keshita because he's a gangster and he saw it
Speaker 4: coming and he was perfect again. I know, I shot
Speaker 4: upon him in the pre show because I perfect.
Speaker 2: I was surprised by this dude. How did he get it?
Speaker 2: We don't know, We don't want to know.
Speaker 4: He's got inside information. He's got Tony Kann on his
Speaker 4: cell phone. We know that we know that they went
Speaker 4: to college together for hours and they were roommates, and
Speaker 4: you know, we don't know what promises were made, all right,
Speaker 4: Next up Prince Nana.
Speaker 2: Yes it's my favorite.
Speaker 4: Welcome back Swerve Strickland. And let me say this, since
Speaker 4: MVP has gotten on the scene, they have given Prince
Speaker 4: not a chance to shine. I thought that backstage bit
Speaker 4: where he was ready to put his wrestling boots on
Speaker 4: and fight MVP right there, I thought he looked great
Speaker 4: in that.
Speaker 2: I think this has been a big operation.
Speaker 4: Even though he's kind of getting he's been getting poo
Speaker 4: pooed on by MVP, it's given him a chance to
Speaker 4: stand up for himself and demonstrate how valuable he is.
Speaker 4: And Swerve just confirms like all of it in this
Speaker 4: beautiful promo that if you haven't watched, you could probably
Speaker 4: just watch on social media. And he talks about the
Speaker 4: good times and the bad times, and right when he says,
Speaker 4: goes into the bad times and the failure. So I
Speaker 4: was like, he wouldn't put him on blast like that.
Speaker 4: Now he's siding with the Prince because he's gonna stay
Speaker 4: with the guy that's been with him through the good
Speaker 4: times and the bad times. Family stays with you through
Speaker 4: both and he doesn't turn us back off family, and
Speaker 4: MVP is like whoa, whoa, whoa hold on And then
Speaker 4: Shelton Benjamin's like, no, no, no, you got it, twisted man.
Speaker 4: We're not asking you, We're telling you that you're either
Speaker 4: with us or you don't exist, like we will destroy you,
Speaker 4: and Swerves just put these dudes over like, yo, you're
Speaker 4: my inspirations, Like you guys are the man, and then
Speaker 4: he digs him a little bit, but I still got
Speaker 4: you in that match. Don't forget that that kind of shit.
Speaker 4: This is the return of the Hurt Business. I can't wait.
Speaker 4: Bobby Lashley is on his way. That's what this means,
Speaker 4: y'all is Bobby Lashley is on his way. Samoa Joe's
Speaker 4: already there, and we could get a mainstream version of
Speaker 4: the Hurt Business, which MVP has discussed, which is all
Speaker 4: they kind of took away from him and put it
Speaker 4: on the bloodline, so now they can have their version
Speaker 4: of this, and once Bobby Lashley comes, it'll solidify everything
Speaker 4: and a match between Swerved Strickland if Bobby Lashley is coming,
Speaker 4: and I'm so freaking hyped to see the smaller, faster
Speaker 4: dude go against like the perfect specimen that God ever made,
Speaker 4: and he still looks exactly the same as when he
Speaker 4: first entered the WWE over twenty years ago, like nothing's
Speaker 4: changed on his body. He legit is just made from
Speaker 4: synthetic materials and is an android walking amongst us, which
Speaker 4: is proof that there's time travel because they send him
Speaker 4: back like a term. This was a great segment. Man,
Speaker 4: MVP is the truth on the microphone. He makes Nana
Speaker 4: look better on the microphone. They now have don Kallis,
Speaker 4: who's doing money work on the microphone. I want to
Speaker 4: know who the next great female manager is going to be.
Speaker 4: I know she's out there somewhere. I don't know if
Speaker 4: it's WWE or AEW, but there's got to be room
Speaker 4: for another great This can be like a renaissance of
Speaker 4: managers at aw Man. They've got three now that can
Speaker 4: literally build stables and speak for their talent if they
Speaker 4: need to and if not. They're just a great character
Speaker 4: to get heat on, especially with don Kallis because he
Speaker 4: can he'll take bumps.
Speaker 2: That fool has a scart on his head to prove it.
Speaker 4: But I was so excited this was a segment there
Speaker 4: wasn't even wrestling, and I was so hyped for this,
Speaker 4: and I can't wait to see where they're going to
Speaker 4: go because Swerve will beat Shelton straight up. There'll be
Speaker 4: some beat downs on Swerve, but in the match, Swerve's
Speaker 4: gonna win that match. And that's when I think Bobby
Speaker 4: Lash is going to come and just kill Swerve strictly,
Speaker 4: and then we'll have to climb back them up the mountain.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Jeff, Welcome back Swerve. I love
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I love the writing. I love this story.
Speaker 1: But here's a little Jeff Due rant for you. Bring
Speaker 1: back managers, make managers great again. We need to really
Speaker 1: wrestling needs to invest time, writing, money and airtime. Two
Speaker 1: more managers. So in the old days, like long before
Speaker 1: I was watching wrestling, like I saw reel of it Instagra.
Speaker 1: I saw reel on Instagram recently of La Macho Man's
Speaker 1: first match in I guess it was WWF, And what
Speaker 1: happened was that nobody had seen Macho man a a
Speaker 1: person like Machra Man with the headband and the glasses
Speaker 1: of the way he was behaving in the ring, and
Speaker 1: this is his first match, like he's doing these elbow drops,
Speaker 1: He's doing this great match. He beats the bad guy
Speaker 1: so soundly that all the managers came from the back,
Speaker 1: Classy Freddie Blassie and Jimmy Hart, and they're all like
Speaker 1: almost cartoonishly looking at Macho Man, going wow, They're all
Speaker 1: taking a peek at him because this could be the
Speaker 1: new talent that they want, right they really that story
Speaker 1: was really showing that, like the managers are who who
Speaker 1: decide kind of in wrestling who is and who isn't wrestling.
Speaker 1: Managers have become this side thing now that they kind
Speaker 1: of just throw with a wrestler if the wrestler can't
Speaker 1: talk or something. But we've seen proof. Prince Nana used
Speaker 1: to be a wrestler, not a very successful one, but
Speaker 1: he used to be a wrestler and now he's a
Speaker 1: genius manager. Don Kallas was a wrestler forever and guess what,
Speaker 1: I've watched wrestl in my whole life. I knew nothing
Speaker 1: about him until he became a manager. Paul Hayman is
Speaker 1: a g exception. He gets the airtime, he gets the
Speaker 1: Paul Hamon Schef's kiss. This guy is one of the
Speaker 1: greatest managers ever, one of the greatest talkers ever, and
Speaker 1: really makes a wrestler pop.
Speaker 2: So I think if we could find a way to
Speaker 2: make wrestlers as important as they once were supposed to
Speaker 2: be in wrestling, we can have you know, we can
Speaker 2: have these things. We have female wrestlers, we have male wrestlers,
Speaker 2: we have managers, and then we have the story, and
Speaker 2: so you kind of marry all those things together. I
Speaker 2: think managers are.
Speaker 1: Wildly important and wildly under executed, but they can be
Speaker 1: really valuable. Look at MVP, no disrespect, but MVP wasn't
Speaker 1: a big a list wrestler. He was a wrestler and
Speaker 1: he was good, but he wasn't like the guy that
Speaker 1: everybody you know wanted to see main event WrestleMania with
Speaker 1: the Rock. But he's proving to be super valuable as
Speaker 1: a manager, and so I think we need to see
Speaker 1: a lot more of this. The second I saw Nana
Speaker 1: come out do his little dance and get out like
Speaker 1: it was great, and so I think that managers shouldn't
Speaker 1: just be this thing that are put with people that
Speaker 1: can't talk.
Speaker 2: We need to make managers a huge part of the story.
Speaker 4: We could not agree more sir, Next up, Darby Allen
Speaker 4: brody King. We all picked this easy match. Yep, Darby Allen,
Speaker 4: crazy easy pick, easy money for you guys to make.
Speaker 4: You probably didn't even need our advice on this one.
Speaker 4: You were like, we got it too. We all agree,
Speaker 4: excellent pick. Moving on the Ring of Honor World Championship match,
Speaker 4: Mark Brisco the champ versus Chris Jericho looking to become
Speaker 4: the Nueve. Alex and Freddie both picked Jericho because we
Speaker 4: thought it was a sure thing. Jeff, just to be different,
Speaker 4: picked Mark Brisco and was correct. It's like putting se
Speaker 4: down and the multiple choice questions always go with C
Speaker 4: all the way down the line. Jeff threw a sea
Speaker 4: in there and it hit. He hit the lotto and
Speaker 4: he won, which put him ahead of me at the end,
Speaker 4: which suck. And finally I did it. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 4: you did it. The John Moxley match with Brian Danielson.
Speaker 4: I picked Brian. I picked with my heart. I warned
Speaker 4: you guys, I warned myself not to do it before
Speaker 4: I did it. I still did it. I was dead wrong.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have been wrong. I would have had four
Speaker 4: We talked about this match at length. We won't get
Speaker 4: into it anymore. But the final scores of this pay
Speaker 4: per view was your boy Freddie with three producer Alex
Speaker 4: went perfect again and.
Speaker 2: Jeff with five five five picks.
Speaker 4: So Jeff, because our producer wanted me to lie, he
Speaker 4: loses a point, You're the big winner with five. He
Speaker 4: does not tie you. It's a it's a solo victory.
Speaker 4: No ties on this show. That's the show. This rarely happens.
Speaker 4: This never happens to me. As far as these kind
Speaker 4: of things, I'm gonna start gambling. I'm gonna start gambling.
Speaker 4: I'm good taking.
Speaker 1: It all, baby, I'm lucky now.
Speaker 2: Jeff and I are gonna start gambling careers.
Speaker 4: Any casinos out there they want to sponsor us, hit
Speaker 4: us up on the CELLI.
Speaker 2: And like it.
Speaker 4: That was Jeff Freddie Brenn's Thanks for listening. Stay tuned
