Speaker 1: here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, New Pacific three Eastern, Sunday three Pacific,
Speaker 1: sixth Eastern. Well as Monday on the program. You know
Speaker 1: that means we got a lot to get into here today.
Speaker 1: Monday Night. Raw is tonight and it's gonna air on
Speaker 1: Sci Fi and ain't gonna do well. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: about the lineup for the show here tonight. We've got preemptions.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got preemptions all over the place coming up.
Speaker 1: We got Raw preemptions, we got Rampage preemptions as a
Speaker 1: result of All Star Weekend. None of these shows are
Speaker 1: gonna do well in their new time slots, so as
Speaker 1: as usually the case, as I say with a W
Speaker 1: when they're preempted. I don't want to go online tomorrow
Speaker 1: and see how, oh my god, everything's going horribly for
Speaker 1: w W either sinking WrestleMania. It was gonna buddy, it's
Speaker 1: going to do poorly on Sci FI and then when
Speaker 1: it's back on USA, it's going to do well again.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about that. I also watched the Rampage
Speaker 1: and SmackDown show, So if you want to talk about
Speaker 1: those two shows, Rampage lots of good wrestling, lots of
Speaker 1: build uh slow build for their their next pay per view,
Speaker 1: and obviously there were there were slow build segments on
Speaker 1: SmackDown as well. We are going to get Charlotte Flair
Speaker 1: and Rohn Da Rousey at WrestleMania. That is the match,
Speaker 1: and Rhonda Rousey five hundred million times better on SmackDown
Speaker 1: than she was on Raw. So we'll tell you about
Speaker 1: those two shows there. We've also got a top wrestler
Speaker 1: walking through the forbidden Door on Dynamite Wednesday. Coincidentally, Keith
Speaker 1: Lee and Mia Yim just got married, so congratulates to them.
Speaker 1: Curd Angle not coming back to w w E, and
Speaker 1: x T announcing matches for their Vengeance Day show on
Speaker 1: social media and not on national television, and plenty more.
Speaker 1: You know, you can be idiot proof but still not
Speaker 1: being idiot. I just want to throw that out there
Speaker 1: back in a moment observer live back of the show
Speaker 1: right now, But is here Wrestling Observer Live makes some
Speaker 1: bviv also wrestling observer dot com. I see everyone here
Speaker 1: is asking about Facebook. I just to make it quick.
Speaker 1: There is no story. So I went on Facebook, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I almost never do anything Facebook, but
Speaker 1: I was on Facebook because it does suck. And uh
Speaker 1: one of my buddies was like, oh, you know, Comcast
Speaker 1: is raising prices. Speaking of things that suck, what what's
Speaker 1: a good thing around? And I just I wrote zip
Speaker 1: Lee and uh. I tried to post it, and then
Speaker 1: a big exclamation point came up and it was it
Speaker 1: didn't post. I was like, what is going on here?
Speaker 1: I can't I can't write zip Lee. That was weird.
Speaker 1: So then I I, you know, I thought, what is
Speaker 1: going on here? And I just decided I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and post something. So I'm just gonna post a picture
Speaker 1: of my daughter doing an armbar on me, and uh,
Speaker 1: I got another exclamation point and it said your account
Speaker 1: is restricted. I was like, restricted, I don't even post.
Speaker 1: I never even come on here. I can't remember the
Speaker 1: last time. I may have posted like a picture on
Speaker 1: Instagram and then you know, automatically shared on Facebook. But
Speaker 1: I don't do anything I'm never on Facebook, so somehow
Speaker 1: my account was restricted, so that I spent like twenty
Speaker 1: minutes like okay, what's going on here? And you're going
Speaker 1: to help section it goes. If your account was restricted,
Speaker 1: your first strike it should be you know, I forget
Speaker 1: what it was, something like thirty minutes or something like that.
Speaker 1: And then you know, later in that morning, I still
Speaker 1: couldn't post. I was like, this ain't changing anytime soon,
Speaker 1: and so I just, uh, I just deleted my Facebook.
Speaker 1: I don't use it. I don't care every time I
Speaker 1: go on it. It's just like a bunch of misery.
Speaker 1: So anyway, if you want to follow me, you can
Speaker 1: go on Twitter obviously at Brian Alvarez, or you can
Speaker 1: go to the uh the insta as they call it,
Speaker 1: F four W online and I'll put pictures up there.
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, if I can't get on my Facebook,
Speaker 1: what do I have it for my account? You restricted?
Speaker 1: Its restricted? You know it's restricted. Facebook is restricted from
Speaker 1: this house. Now I don't need them. You use Instagram,
Speaker 1: though I picked I put pictures up there. I put it.
Speaker 1: You want to see Paisley doing an armbar, go to
Speaker 1: my insta have four W online. But it's owned by Facebook.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter, Mike. It's I'm not mad at like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't even know what's his idiot's
Speaker 1: name to put Facebook together. What's name Zuckerberg? Whatever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not whatever is his Facebook? Platform sucks. If I
Speaker 1: can post on Instagram, I'll use Instagram. When I can't
Speaker 1: post on Instagram anymore, I'll cancel Instagram. Let's just use Twitter.
Speaker 1: I do use Twitter. Get rid of Instagram altogether. Then
Speaker 1: Instagram also sent me this thing about getting verified because
Speaker 1: I'm verified on Twitter, and so there's this little thing
Speaker 1: that you're supposed to fill out or whatever. So you know,
Speaker 1: it asked me to fill everything out, so I filled
Speaker 1: it all out, and then it goes you're not eligible
Speaker 1: to be verified whatever. What does this even mean anyway?
Speaker 1: But you know what, let's talk about something exciting. I
Speaker 1: was the winner of the prediction contest. Yeah, and as
Speaker 1: a result, every year, the winner gets a prize. I believe.
Speaker 1: Early on, I gave out plaques out of my own pocket.
Speaker 1: I might add I sent plaques and then I sent
Speaker 1: it wasn't rigged, you idiots. I put it up to
Speaker 1: a vote on Twitter, and then you got. Did you
Speaker 1: get a trophy or a plaque? I got a plaque.
Speaker 1: Bro Let me tell you what's brave putting up putting
Speaker 1: a poll on my Twitter about whether I should win
Speaker 1: the fact that I barely won tells you that it
Speaker 1: normally would have been a landslide. But everyone on Twitter,
Speaker 1: my my own Twitter, hates me. But anyway, the point
Speaker 1: is I won, and so I thought what could I
Speaker 1: What could I get for myself for a prize? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I got so many trophies. I just have
Speaker 1: so many trophies. It's ridiculous. And uh, plaques, I got plaques.
Speaker 1: I got my still hold on all your trophies, black
Speaker 1: belt certification right there, I do have my sixth grade
Speaker 1: student of the Year plaque, your field day participation belts.
Speaker 1: I got so much stuff. So I was just thinking
Speaker 1: about it. And you know what I got got? Oh
Speaker 1: it's beautiful, Yes, shiny, beautiful white gold. I got myself
Speaker 1: a ring. Can you see that? Everybody? Are you kidding? Man? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe you can't see it. So you know what I'll do.
Speaker 1: I'll put it on my finger. Prediction contest. It's radiant,
Speaker 1: solid winner. Yeah, I look at that thing. Shine just
Speaker 1: like m j oh Man. No, no, he got one
Speaker 1: of those. He got one of those gimmick ones off Amazon. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know much, this white gold slab of of you
Speaker 1: know much? This cost a lot of money? Yeah, knock jist,
Speaker 1: give me a break. Oh, I can't wear a ring
Speaker 1: now because I'm m JF Are you saying are you
Speaker 1: saying that he's got cubics or coney? Is? Is that
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I'm not a real diamond ring. It's
Speaker 1: a gimmick. So you're saying you got How do we
Speaker 1: know you've got white gold? Look at it when we
Speaker 1: come on? Do you think that focus? What do you
Speaker 1: think it is? It could be a lego gone, I'd
Speaker 1: say it was platinum. Oh please, for what it's a
Speaker 1: ring to be a ring? It's way too soft punching
Speaker 1: people with this thing. Boy, would I ever like to
Speaker 1: punch a few people with this thing? But I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: But anyway, since none of you are going to, I
Speaker 1: would like to, Uh, I would like to congratulate myself
Speaker 1: on winning the prediction contest. You patris himself on the
Speaker 1: back like Barry arwoots. So there do it? Do it?
Speaker 1: Do you mean like chompa. Can we move into you know,
Speaker 1: the twenty one century. I got one other announcement and
Speaker 1: I'll get to the news. So tomorrow and the Brian
Speaker 1: of Vinny Show were reviewing WrestleMania nine. WrestleMania nine was
Speaker 1: what most people remember as a horrible show. We'll make
Speaker 1: that determination tomorrow. But it was at Caesar's Palace and
Speaker 1: they all wore togas. And so again I might add,
Speaker 1: out of my own pocket, I bought togas for myself,
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Craig, you bought togas. I'm just use a
Speaker 1: white bed sheet, bro, because listen the twitch homies, the
Speaker 1: top tier YouTube subscribers. These people pay their hard earned
Speaker 1: net money every month. So you think I'm gonna wrap
Speaker 1: a white blanket around myself for this, No. I bought
Speaker 1: full Finkles and it ain't aluminum. I bought togas for myself,
Speaker 1: Vinnie and Craig, And tomorrow we will be reviewing WrestleMania
Speaker 1: nine and having a full fledged toga party here at
Speaker 1: Chateau Chico and the Lovely Studio. And because it's a
Speaker 1: special event, and because I'm feeling generous having bought uh
Speaker 1: a white gold, solid white Gold Ring UH to award
Speaker 1: reward myself and also togas. This show will be live
Speaker 1: at nine pacific midnight Eastern on both YouTube and Twitch.
Speaker 1: So if you are a top tier YouTube subscriber, end up.
Speaker 1: It's not free up paying Twitch homie both every all
Speaker 1: of you will be able to watch your freeloaders. No freeloaders,
Speaker 1: no freeloaders. These togas didn't pay for themselves. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it is actually very easy on on Twitch because what
Speaker 1: you can do on Twitch is if you've got Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime and who doesn't, Amazon Prime gives you a free
Speaker 1: Twitch subscription every month and you can use that for
Speaker 1: our Twitch channel here at four W video. So you
Speaker 1: go to uh twitch dot tv slash uff w video.
Speaker 1: You you go to sign up, it says UH use
Speaker 1: your Amazon Prime account. You do that, you pay nothing.
Speaker 1: I pay for the togas out of your money and
Speaker 1: everything works out. So tomorrow UH nine Pacific midnight Eastern,
Speaker 1: Twitch and YouTube Cybelcast. Make sure you renew your subscriptions now,
Speaker 1: because I have gotten a picture that you have not seen.
Speaker 1: I don't think of Craig in his toga. This is
Speaker 1: worth whatever you're paying for this website every month and
Speaker 1: wait tillly you see mine. You're gonna have Whitney their
Speaker 1: feed in your grapes vide comes out on the back
Speaker 1: of a camel. I'll tell you what one thing is
Speaker 1: for sure. No matter what anybody says about that show,
Speaker 1: that show was made for me with the head Shrinkers
Speaker 1: and the Steiners, and that's all I needed. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: actually uh, it was a triple Xcel togas that I
Speaker 1: got for it was but that's all they had, so
Speaker 1: I had to buy a different I had to buy
Speaker 1: a different one for me, which is up on my
Speaker 1: Twitter at Brian albert As if you want to see it.
Speaker 1: He's a god. It says on the package. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you found a spirit Halloween that's still open. Back with
Speaker 1: the News Observer Live back of the show. Brian Elbert
Speaker 1: is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike Simp for VV also
Speaker 1: Wrestling Observer dot Com. You know I'm gonna do is uh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a picture of this, this beauty here
Speaker 1: for anybody. Yeah, so I can put on my give
Speaker 1: me a favor, get a close up of where it
Speaker 1: actually says ten K or fourteen K or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: By the way, you didn't even say what kind of
Speaker 1: carrot is in that thing? Look at you. Don't you
Speaker 1: know anything about anything. But there's different types of carrots exactly.
Speaker 1: You know what. I didn't want to get caret gold
Speaker 1: because it would just it would be like butter. But
Speaker 1: with the platinum it's too soft. Yeah, but eighteen care gold,
Speaker 1: depending on what you you mix it with, can be
Speaker 1: can be very very hard. And everyone, uh we're listening
Speaker 1: to this and knows anything about jewelry, will you know? Man,
Speaker 1: my hands look old one day. I'm still going to
Speaker 1: get enough money where I can get the golden diamond
Speaker 1: fronts that I've been wanting for my entire life. And
Speaker 1: I know what everybody says when they get those, rappers
Speaker 1: and athletes and things like that, talk about for your teeth.
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, oh man. I always wanted those things, and
Speaker 1: they always say once you get them, you never like
Speaker 1: it's like a complete waste of money. You could have
Speaker 1: put that one anywhere else. But I still want them.
Speaker 1: I still want those. Let's talk about the news where
Speaker 1: people stop listening, all right, A few things. Actually there's
Speaker 1: a lot going on, so tonight, uh seth rawlins and
Speaker 1: Riddle is on the card, allegedly an appearance from Leita,
Speaker 1: and as noted, the show is going to be airing
Speaker 1: on Sci Fi, which is uh, you know, ratings death.
Speaker 1: I would presume. Uh. There's also the third and final
Speaker 1: stage of the Academic Challenge with r K Brow and
Speaker 1: alph Academy. I have no idea if Randy Orton is
Speaker 1: going to be on the show. Anything is possible. I
Speaker 1: was under the impression he was gonna be gone for
Speaker 1: a while, but there's still, you know, doing this academic
Speaker 1: challenge to build up for a pay per view, which
Speaker 1: I presume is elimination chamber. He wasn't the show last week,
Speaker 1: so we will find out tonight. So if you DVR
Speaker 1: the show, if you sell one of those old fashioned DVRs,
Speaker 1: not like YouTube TV that records that no matter where
Speaker 1: it airs, make sure you set your DV Are you
Speaker 1: gonna miss I don't want you to miss raw? Speaking
Speaker 1: of Comcast, I actually had to check and for some
Speaker 1: reason some show I'll actually do this with another shows
Speaker 1: they won't. This time around. They didn't, so I had
Speaker 1: to manually set that. So if you're an Exfinity customer,
Speaker 1: you may want to double check on that one. We've
Speaker 1: also got doing due to the NBA's All Star Weekend
Speaker 1: one of this month um one of this month's episodes
Speaker 1: of Rampage is gonna be airing a different time slot.
Speaker 1: The Friday, February eighteen episode of Rampage is gonna air
Speaker 1: at seven Eastern Time. NBA's Rising Stars Tournament will begin
Speaker 1: on T and T at nine Eastern net Friday as
Speaker 1: part of the All Star Weekend. The show usually airs
Speaker 1: from ten to eleven. Obviously, because it's seven to eight,
Speaker 1: it's not going to go head to head with SmackDown.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be interesting because ten to eleven, I
Speaker 1: believe it's technically in prime time Prime time eight nine
Speaker 1: o'clock PM, ten o'clock to eleven o'clock is it is,
Speaker 1: It's still considered prime time. Seven is not okay, but
Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see if seven to eight
Speaker 1: actually does better then ten to eleven, even though seven
Speaker 1: to eight is not in prime time. The idea when
Speaker 1: they when they this is a t this is TNT. Obviously,
Speaker 1: when they first gave Rampage that time slot was we
Speaker 1: don't want to run head to head with SmackDown. But
Speaker 1: if we are after SmackDown. A bunch of w w
Speaker 1: E fans that watch SmackDown well then switch and watch
Speaker 1: Rampage for another hour. I don't think that's happened. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have really any evidence one way or the other.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think that a lot of
Speaker 1: fans are doing that. So if that's the case, what
Speaker 1: would be better for you, dear listener? Would you rather
Speaker 1: a Rampage here at seven on Friday or at ten
Speaker 1: on Friday. We're gonna have kind of a an experiment here,
Speaker 1: and granted, it's not a fair experiment because it is
Speaker 1: a pre empture and pre emptions, you know, they can
Speaker 1: advertise it all they want, but there's always gonna be
Speaker 1: people to forget. But I mean, if it does, uh,
Speaker 1: if it does four hundred thousand viewers, you know, obviously, uh,
Speaker 1: that's probably not good. If it does the same viewership,
Speaker 1: same or better than eighteen forty nine, I would think
Speaker 1: about moving that show to seven. And for sure, if
Speaker 1: it does like eight hundred thousand viewers and like a
Speaker 1: point three in eighteen forty nine, I mean I would
Speaker 1: be thinking about moving that thing immediately. So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. But that's gonna be an interesting experiment on
Speaker 1: February eight. Yeah, I think you can leave it open
Speaker 1: for further testing if that's the case. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just too bad they couldn't get a deal with t
Speaker 1: NT because the NBA is so strong and it is
Speaker 1: their weekend where they couldn't have had that pregame show
Speaker 1: for the NBA actually go from seven to eight, which
Speaker 1: leads into an hour of rampage, which leads into the
Speaker 1: skills competition or whatever skills competition, the whatever the guy
Speaker 1: going on three point contest wherever the guy going on
Speaker 1: for All Star weekend. And it's just too bad because
Speaker 1: I think eight to nine who probably would have been great,
Speaker 1: especially the second half of that show with people tuned
Speaker 1: in waiting to get ready for the All Star stuff.
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll we'll see, you know. Seven o'clock
Speaker 1: is you know, I would be for it because of mold,
Speaker 1: I guess, but I'm not really sure if it's gonna
Speaker 1: be as much of a boom because it's also six
Speaker 1: o'clock now Central Time, so I I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I like that when all that much,
Speaker 1: plus it damages you in the overall Brian, because you're
Speaker 1: selling primetime advertising. I mean that's you want to be
Speaker 1: involved in that. So I would be very wary about
Speaker 1: moving out of that spot. Although if the numbers are
Speaker 1: good enough, you entertain what you entertain. Yes, so the
Speaker 1: if the numbers are good enough, then then it should
Speaker 1: be moved. I do it dramat the filter on this
Speaker 1: ring shot here, that's what it's also Dynamite Wednesday. According
Speaker 1: to a w's Tony Khan quote a top wrestler, we'll
Speaker 1: walk through the forbidden door and make their debut on
Speaker 1: Wednesday's Dynamite in the Face of the Revolution qualifying match.
Speaker 1: He tweeted with a great showing in the a W
Speaker 1: Rampage T and T title about tonight, Isaiah Cassie's earn
Speaker 1: a qualifying match for a spot in the Face of
Speaker 1: the Revolution ladder match with a T and T title
Speaker 1: shot at stake, His opponent will debut Wednesday and sign
Speaker 1: a contract with a W. I bring that up because
Speaker 1: when I I I see, I don't. I don't go
Speaker 1: on social media a lot, so I didn't see it
Speaker 1: need to tweet. I only heard that somebody who was
Speaker 1: gonna debut on Wednesday, But my immediate thought. If I
Speaker 1: read the comments, I wouldn't even have done that Granny
Speaker 1: segment last night. So I immediately thought J White, because
Speaker 1: if you guys have not been paying attention to UH
Speaker 1: to J White, I can't remember the last time he
Speaker 1: did an in ring promo, it did not mention a W.
Speaker 1: And I think that inevitable that he is going to
Speaker 1: make an appearance at some point with a W. But
Speaker 1: he is not signing a contract with a W. So
Speaker 1: this person here would not be J White. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that J White couldn't also appear on Dynamite this Wednesday,
Speaker 1: but this person that Tony conn is talking about is
Speaker 1: is a reference to somebody who is signing a contract
Speaker 1: with a W. Obviously, the the name that has been
Speaker 1: coming up more than any other is Keith Lee, who
Speaker 1: just got married this weekend. So congratulations to him and
Speaker 1: Millyum and Keith Lee. I mean, my only question is
Speaker 1: a ladder match with Keith Lee? Is that exactly how
Speaker 1: you want to debut him. I mean, he doesn't really
Speaker 1: have to do a lot off the ladder. He can
Speaker 1: be you know, the other guy can do everything off
Speaker 1: the ladder, and he can catch him and pounce him
Speaker 1: and throw him all over the place. But um, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that's exactly where I debut Keith Lee. But
Speaker 1: I could be proven wrong and uh and I have
Speaker 1: been before, So I would predict if I had, if
Speaker 1: I had, if I had to make a prediction Keith
Speaker 1: Lee on Wednesday, do you think brother Nero would fit
Speaker 1: that spot because it is on the ladder and because
Speaker 1: you do have the Hardy family office. Uh, maybe that's
Speaker 1: the punishment that and Roddy's got coming in, or that
Speaker 1: Matt Hardy has for Isaiah Or is that uh that
Speaker 1: too crazy? I I uh to too dicey. Right, Now,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Here's the thing. Tony Kahn in storyline
Speaker 1: is the one who is signing this person. So if
Speaker 1: Tony Kahn in storyline had a sense of humor, then
Speaker 1: he could debut Matt Hardy's brother against Matt Hardy's protege
Speaker 1: in this match. And honestly, you know, it probably would
Speaker 1: be better if you're doing a ladder match to do
Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy as opposed to Keith Lee, I would think.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that if Jeff Hardy comes in,
Speaker 1: he's probably aligning with Matt Hardy, So I mean you
Speaker 1: can make anything you can try. I shouldn't say that
Speaker 1: you can try to make anything makes sense and wrestling,
Speaker 1: but I I don't think I would have Jeff Hardy
Speaker 1: debut here against Isaiah Cassidy and look for Keith Lee
Speaker 1: to come in and just basically kill Isaiah and walk
Speaker 1: up there and take the you know whatever to and
Speaker 1: sign the contract. I mean then that I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: I'm completely hold on a correction flying around. I got
Speaker 1: a correction here. I apologize. I don't even know why
Speaker 1: I didn't think about this. So the match on Wednesday
Speaker 1: is a qualifier for the ladder match, but it's not
Speaker 1: a ladder match. Keith Lee kills him Pounce Perry. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, that was easy. Sorry everybody. I read the
Speaker 1: word ladder so many times that my brains know what
Speaker 1: a brain is. Still yours are still deeply affected by
Speaker 1: night though, and I still think I have Dad brain.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that ever goes away completely. Hangman
Speaker 1: Page Lance Archer Texas Deathmatch is on the show and
Speaker 1: appearance by m jf uh and then Inner Circle Team
Speaker 1: meeting and Tony Khan has quote a major announcement. Circle meeting.
Speaker 1: We have to figure out if that's uh in connection
Speaker 1: with the debuting wrestler or something different altogether. But yes,
Speaker 1: congratulations to Keith Lee and Mia Yim. They've been engaged
Speaker 1: since February eleven last year. It's almost full year before
Speaker 1: they got married. Back in a moment Observer live back
Speaker 1: of the show, Brian Elbert is here Observer live mix
Speaker 1: of viv also of wrestling Observer dot com. Man look
Speaker 1: at that beauty at Brian Elberts on Twitter, F four
Speaker 1: w online on Insta Insta Graham, let me see it here.
Speaker 1: I want to look at that thing. Holy smokes the
Speaker 1: first time you said that at least smokes. Yeah, where
Speaker 1: is this here? Brian? I don't even know if I
Speaker 1: follow you? Hopefully you don't probably have a mute or something.
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, earlier in the show, I made
Speaker 1: the comment that you know, just because you're idiot proof
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to be an idiot. We have
Speaker 1: a new matches for n XT Vengeance Day. They they
Speaker 1: shot angles on television but then announced these on social media.
Speaker 1: So hopefully they didn't announce them on Facebook because I,
Speaker 1: you know, shut my off. It would be nice of
Speaker 1: the announces on the television show. I suppose they will,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Santos Escobar will officially be the first challenger
Speaker 1: for braun Breakers. N x T title Breaker will defend
Speaker 1: his title against Escobar and n XT Vengeance Day Tuesday
Speaker 1: February on sci Fi. So this big show is gonna
Speaker 1: be on sci Fi as opposed to the USA network.
Speaker 1: And they also announced that it was the other match.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Pete Donne versus Tony di'angelo in a steel
Speaker 1: cage match, I believe also announced on social media. This
Speaker 1: is one of the fastest of the guys ever made
Speaker 1: it into a skill cage match. Um, I'm sure someone
Speaker 1: must have debuted in a steel cage match at some point,
Speaker 1: but actually I can't think of any but I think
Speaker 1: that's about match six and he's gonna have a steel
Speaker 1: cage match on a on a big show. So the
Speaker 1: full car for Vengeance Day on sci Fi, which is
Speaker 1: fitting since they announced these matches on social media, I
Speaker 1: don't really need anybody to watch or know about him.
Speaker 1: NXT Champion braun Breaker versus Santos Escobar, Carmelo Hayes versus
Speaker 1: Cameron Grimes for the North American title Toxic Attraction Versindi
Speaker 1: Hartwell and Perhaparata, the finals of the two Men's Dusty Classic,
Speaker 1: and Pete Dunn versus Tony di'angelo. And one of these days, everybody,
Speaker 1: one of these days we'll have a women's Dusty. But
Speaker 1: I don't know when where or anything like that. Jared
Speaker 1: throw that ring up there on the video. Look at
Speaker 1: this thing, everybody, Oh man, look at that. Holy smokes you.
Speaker 1: Actually he's gorgeous. Ignorant, ignorant you You've got a ten
Speaker 1: carrot ring. This is how well you're living. You've got
Speaker 1: a ten carrot ring in honor of yourself. Why do
Speaker 1: a big portrait, made a big like velvet portrait with
Speaker 1: like an eternal flame and put it right behind your
Speaker 1: shoulder on the show for everybody to to look at,
Speaker 1: for you to to turn around and and and gaze
Speaker 1: at longingly. When I when I talk on this show, well,
Speaker 1: when I wanted to get was a steel role X
Speaker 1: day Tona. But it's pretty much impossible I could have that.
Speaker 1: That ring there I could have got I could have
Speaker 1: got a forty pound white gold ring for less money.
Speaker 1: But by the way, I'm also looking at the other
Speaker 1: picture you have up on your Twitter, which is this
Speaker 1: dream guy costumes? And look at that thing? What where
Speaker 1: exactly did you go to pick this one up? Amazon? Amazon?
Speaker 1: I just I just listen, do you mean Adam and Eve?
Speaker 1: I realized that it sounds like I'm making fun of
Speaker 1: Craig and Vinnie by saying I got a triple xcel? Okay,
Speaker 1: But I went on Amazon and I looked for men's
Speaker 1: toga and literally they only add three XL. So that's
Speaker 1: what I got them. It wasn't like, Oh, how big
Speaker 1: are these guys? So I got them There's and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't wear a triple xcel. So then I had
Speaker 1: to do a deep search in Amazon and apparently if you, uh,
Speaker 1: if you're smaller, then you have to have the He's
Speaker 1: a God version of the toga. So that's what I got.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen some costumes that look like this,
Speaker 1: and I don't know they sell these and other places
Speaker 1: as well too. Well, I didn't go there. I gotta
Speaker 1: of Amazon, I bro. The American Dragon is the second
Speaker 1: act to be announced for the Ring of Honor Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. Ring of Honor, revealed today. Brian Danielson, second
Speaker 1: member behind the Briscoes, who are one act if you're wondering.
Speaker 1: Danielson revolved in the main event of their first show
Speaker 1: in two, with low Key defeating Danielson and Christopher Daniels
Speaker 1: in a three way match. An era of honor begin
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about this, there's gonna be four acts
Speaker 1: and the inaugural class, and we got the Briscoes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got the Briscos. Oh yeah, here we go. We
Speaker 1: got Danielson and then uh, we got to other acts
Speaker 1: as well. And I was thinking about the Earth and
Speaker 1: their wrestlers. We know the wrestlers. We don't know who,
Speaker 1: And a lot of people have suggested Samoa Joe Um homicide, homicide.
Speaker 1: But there's also that name low Key. But he's also uh,
Speaker 1: will you pay me to appear in your whole of
Speaker 1: it's low Key? So you know, I have a list
Speaker 1: of demands, not just that, but like, I mean, do
Speaker 1: I go over there's I better be the main event.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure that low Key. I mean maybe
Speaker 1: he is. I don't know. I mean, trust me, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's a horrible. Well anyway, we know it's
Speaker 1: not Nigel. We know it's not Owens or Generico that
Speaker 1: we know that, so they're out of Owens or Generico.
Speaker 1: You think WW can let him do that. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they're not gonna let him do it, But I
Speaker 1: mean Ring of Honor owns the footage. They can do
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame special with these, But why would
Speaker 1: you do that when at some point they'll probably you know,
Speaker 1: you hope you're gonna be alive ten years down the road,
Speaker 1: they'll be gone from w W. You can do it.
Speaker 1: Many other people they can put in, But my point
Speaker 1: is there have also, don't think there aren't haven't been
Speaker 1: long standing issues between Ring of Honor and a W.
Speaker 1: So there's no guarantee that Brian Danielson is going to
Speaker 1: be showing up for this thing or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So but I'm sure he can write his own ticket
Speaker 1: a lot better than most people can. He's Brian Danielson.
Speaker 1: I mean not to say that Tony's gotten no, you know,
Speaker 1: Brian's got him by the short hairs, but like I mean,
Speaker 1: it's Bryan Danielson. And do you really if you're Tony
Speaker 1: Cohn and they're gonna honor him. It's not like he's
Speaker 1: wrestling or anything like that on that show. You really
Speaker 1: would be a real d bag if you did that,
Speaker 1: So I don't think that that would be the case.
Speaker 1: I really don't. We have also got some notes from SmackDown.
Speaker 1: If you guys didn't see the show, did you watch
Speaker 1: Raw Monday with ron Da Rousey where she decided I
Speaker 1: hate these fans and I'm gonna come out and it's
Speaker 1: still real to her. Dude, she came out looking like
Speaker 1: she'd been sent out there at gunpoint, wanted nothing to
Speaker 1: do with this pro wrestling. But she came out on
Speaker 1: SmackDown and it was ice swear to god, a one
Speaker 1: eighty dude. They hit her music, the fans start cheering,
Speaker 1: she's smiling, she's slapping hands with everybody at ringside. She
Speaker 1: gets in the ring and the fans start channing Rhonda Rousey,
Speaker 1: which was not sweetening because I actually showed fans actually
Speaker 1: their mouths removing, and uh, then she's smiling at him
Speaker 1: and she's just like total one eighty. And then she
Speaker 1: went into Rhonda mode to bear and it was it
Speaker 1: was part of the you know, she was in there
Speaker 1: with Charlotte, so she wasn't getting booed. So they built
Speaker 1: up the Mania match and then Sonya Deville, who was
Speaker 1: also hated, got in the ring and Rhonda put her
Speaker 1: in the armbar. So I would absolutely uh classify what
Speaker 1: happened on SmackDown as a success involving Rhonda Rousey. It's
Speaker 1: Rhonda and Charlotte's and WrestleMania. I mean they they can't
Speaker 1: book baby faces, okay, but Charlotte is hated, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be very hard for the fans, like totally turn
Speaker 1: on Rhonda Rousey between now and WrestleMania now whoever she
Speaker 1: fused with afterwards. I mean, they could turn on her then,
Speaker 1: but I think I think it's gonna be fairly smooth
Speaker 1: sailing as long as she's in the ring doing segments
Speaker 1: with Charlotte, because I believe the hatred for Charlotte Trump's
Speaker 1: anybody as and he dislike for Rhonda Rousey, which we
Speaker 1: really haven't seen yet since she came back. Plus Charlotte
Speaker 1: does not want to be cool at all. She will
Speaker 1: lean all the way into being the most shrill sounding,
Speaker 1: annoying bitch with a capital B. And you know, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: sorry for everybody's virgin years out there, but look, I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: with with Charlotte, she'll be fine, but how is she
Speaker 1: going to react if there is a night where the
Speaker 1: fans turn on her and all that she cannot be
Speaker 1: so thin skinned coming back. And it was almost bizarre
Speaker 1: with Dave talking about it last night or this morning
Speaker 1: on Wrestling Observer Radio that you did with him, where
Speaker 1: it's like she came back like angry, holding a grudge,
Speaker 1: and it's like, woman, they are paying you huge amounts
Speaker 1: of money for you to go out and perform in
Speaker 1: pro wrestling, and you said, you've of this your whole life.
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is something you always aspired
Speaker 1: to do, You've done it before, you've been successful doing it,
Speaker 1: had one of the best debuts of all time. Like
Speaker 1: the fan thing, I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to tell you other than you need to get over it.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of just bizarre because this isn't even
Speaker 1: like mm A fans, who were a lot more venomous
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. For wrestling fans, I mean,
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, are a lot of goofier.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna maybe boo you out of the
Speaker 1: buildings sometimes or start getting on your case. You cannot
Speaker 1: let that affect you, and it really surprises me that
Speaker 1: it does for somebody who said they had such a
Speaker 1: knowledge of this and who did make fun of fans
Speaker 1: and did take shots and fans in the past. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, it still realed or oh sorry, I
Speaker 1: was polishing my ring by the way, you know what.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been really good on SmackDown, but like, uh,
Speaker 1: surely clips of this will never appear on twit her Naomi,
Speaker 1: I got a question for you about her too. Let mean,
Speaker 1: she she look Sunday Deville in character form a racist?
Speaker 1: Like what has the beef been with her and Naomi
Speaker 1: for what feels like five years now, it's been I
Speaker 1: don't know how long it's been, but it is absolutely
Speaker 1: bizarre that they have played this thing and it's like,
Speaker 1: what was it ever about? What was this woman's beef
Speaker 1: and how did she hold on to her office job
Speaker 1: doing this to somebody? It's w w E and it's
Speaker 1: never been explained. So I don't think she's a racist,
Speaker 1: but I think that things like this and I and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that she is, but like, when you
Speaker 1: do things like this, it's the overall point where now
Speaker 1: like the audience has got to come up with like
Speaker 1: rationales for this crap that they saw on her TV screen.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you can do the thing where you watch w
Speaker 1: W programming like you know, slack jaw and completely brain
Speaker 1: dead and your you know brain Actually you can feel
Speaker 1: it leaving you as you're watching. And I guess you
Speaker 1: could be in a coma and be okay with some
Speaker 1: of this stuff, but it's like some of it, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna continue on to do it,
Speaker 1: give me a reason as to why this is happening.
Speaker 1: I got a whole lot to ask, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: Sony Deville's an m M A fighter and she's the
Speaker 1: real deal. And Naomi comes out dancing with glow sticks. Bro,
Speaker 1: you like it. That's the best you've got, Well, the
Speaker 1: best I have, the worst I have is still better
Speaker 1: than them. Not even have an explanation. But the point
Speaker 1: of this is they are they're doing a good job,
Speaker 1: and she's doing a good job with her role versus
Speaker 1: versus Sonja. Her promos have been good. Uh, there's none
Speaker 1: of that weird w W E. We're gonna say a
Speaker 1: bunch of words. I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker 1: Like she's she's doing good job of the promos and
Speaker 1: the wrestling has been better in the ring, and I
Speaker 1: like this feud. I like this Sonya Naomi feud. And
Speaker 1: uh Naomi walked into the office and man, she wanted
Speaker 1: to fight Sonya right then and there, and she was great,
Speaker 1: and Sony didn't want to do it, and so to
Speaker 1: avoid it, Sonya offered her a championship match, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's supposed to being an idiot baby face and
Speaker 1: name he was like, I don't believe a word you're saying,
Speaker 1: and so Adam pierced right there and he said, well,
Speaker 1: I will guarantee that you get a championship match against
Speaker 1: Charlotte next week. So it's a good segment. And Drew
Speaker 1: McIntyre also had a good segment because he's another guy
Speaker 1: that then he never I don't know if it's him
Speaker 1: or if they just like him or whatever, but he's
Speaker 1: never a stupid baby face. So he got snuck up
Speaker 1: on but still still took out Moss. Hey, we gotta
Speaker 1: go to a break back in a moment was ever live?
Speaker 1: It's check in the bottom rolls goal. These dumb's got
Speaker 1: a sense of humor, bling bling, kind of wacky grill
Speaker 1: you want white gold? Did you say platinum? No, white gold?
Speaker 1: I want like, I want the yellow golden platinum. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a grill, he's gonna be yellow gold. Yeah, dimes?
Speaker 1: And what are you an expert on this? Now? What
Speaker 1: would you know about this? I got lighting Hopkins for
Speaker 1: for decades. He had a he had a yellow gold
Speaker 1: grill before it was even cool. Please, actually, did I
Speaker 1: know he did? Like listen to you trying to school
Speaker 1: me on anything in that culture, for having's sakes, But
Speaker 1: did you ask me a question? I answered now with
Speaker 1: oh no, I need I need a more updated version.
Speaker 1: I need you know, I'm not talking about like big
Speaker 1: things or anything like that. Doesn't white gold isn't worth much, alright, buddy,
Speaker 1: When you're wearing it, it loses a little bit of luster.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that gold isn't worth and much. Now,
Speaker 1: what are you going to get and get me a
Speaker 1: grill or something like that? Is that? Hey? Listen, if
Speaker 1: you win the prediction contest again, I'll think about it.
Speaker 1: How about that maybe at least one maybe one gold
Speaker 1: tooth right for the middle of the front. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: get gold to put him my gap. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: had a huge gap when I was a kid. But
Speaker 1: you know what happens, my my wisdom teeth started to
Speaker 1: come in and they pushed the gap together. That was
Speaker 1: a good news. The bad news is they were straight
Speaker 1: on the bottom, and so then they went like this
Speaker 1: on the bottom. Then I went to the dentist and
Speaker 1: he goes, you know you ever got your wisdom teeth out?
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, should I get him out? Now?
Speaker 1: He goes, you're forty six. You're way too old. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. There you go. So you didn't want
Speaker 1: to close your gap for you. I need to get
Speaker 1: Britt Baker on so I can talk about it in
Speaker 1: disaligned with her. She probably know all about it, right,
Speaker 1: you probably hate it? No, she wouldn't. Adam Cole got
Speaker 1: oh my god, really God, is there anything else I
Speaker 1: can school you about. We're out of time, every buddy,
Speaker 1: I gotta go, but I'll be back in an hour
Speaker 1: with Filthy Tom. We had a lot to care about,
Speaker 1: and that's the Eody thinks. Mike has always callers and
