There's 100 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: an eight man tag. It's basically the Bullet Club Tomatonga, Tanglo, 101 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: Uh Takahashi and Chase Owens against two of our recent 102 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: interviewees David Finley, Juice Robinson. 103 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: The Ace, Hirishi. 104 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 3: Tanahashi and Kotobushi who was not able to be in 105 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: Nashville because of a sickness.

And I'll let Eli kind 169 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: of explain to you guys, the listeners, all about this 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: new little feature that we're going to start doing on 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: the show. 172 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: Yes, So, Kayla and Lena we work together on a 173 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: podcast called Music City Horror, and if you listened since 174 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 3: I've joined the show, you know, we've mentioned it a 175 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 3: couple of times, and then you know, kind of didn't 176 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 3: and that show. We ended that show at the end 177 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: of twenty nineteen, so all the episodes are still archives. 178 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: You can go find them wherever. But they are, like myself, 179 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: they're massive wrestling fans. 180 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: And so. 181 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: We originally were. 182 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 3: Going to try to offshoot Music City Horror and kind 183 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: of do a horror or a wrestling podcast, and we 184 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: was struggling to find time just for Music City Horror, 185 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 3: much less wrestling. So when that ended and then it 186 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: was kind of weird. Battle even kind of brought it 187 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 3: up in passing like it'd be cool if we had, 188 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: you know, some girls on the show to like talk 189 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: about women's wrestling because we don't always get to talk 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: about it. It was like, well, you know, Kaylen Lena 191 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: are free now. You know, we just ended that podcast. 192 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: So so they did their first trial. We called it 193 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: a trial. I mean, it wasn't really a trial. It 194 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: was their position to get but they did. They did 195 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: a review of the Women's Royal Rumble. We talked about 196 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: the match, and then they talked about the two world 197 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: title matches, and it was awesome. So I think getting started, 198 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 3: what they're going to do is once a week, probably 199 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: on the Friday show, they're going to upload you know, 200 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 3: Bells of the Brawl and they're gonna just basically talk 201 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 3: about their highlights and their favorite moments or whatever from 202 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: the past week. So you know, like this past week 203 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: it was obviously all things real rumble, so that's all 204 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: they talked about. This week obviously is a much slower week, 205 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 3: so they may just mention aw, they may mentioned aw 206 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: and rall. You know, it's up to them. They can 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: talk about whatever they want to talk about. So so 208 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: some of those segments maybe five minutes. The one they 209 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: just did was like forty five minutes, so it you know, 210 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: just kind of depends on what they want to talk about. 211 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: And then we're hoping down the road, if this, you know, 212 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: continues to pick up steam, maybe they get their own episode. 213 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: I guess, you know, like we would do our Mondays 214 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: and Fridays and maybe they drop one on Wednesday and 215 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 3: it's just it's all women dressing and stuff like that. 216 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: So but for now, they're going to have at least 217 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 3: a weekly segment with us, and you're going to start 218 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: seeing them more on Instagram and Twitter and you know, 219 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: more involved with the show and stuff like that. So 220 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: so if they pop in on a random interview, it 221 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: won't be so random because they're already doing a segment. 222 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: For us, and you won't be like, who is this? 223 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: Who disby? 224 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: Who disb And you can actually read all about Kayla 225 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: and Lena. You can see it. It's like I said, 226 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: we've got a link in the bio for the press release. 227 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: You can see who they are. You can also see 228 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: what their background is in wrestling and what they do 229 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: and yeah, so it's all up there on the Battleground 230 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Podcast Instagram. So there's there is that. And Eli did 231 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: mention that they would pop out on Friday shows, so 232 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: they will come on Friday show. So you know, if 233 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: there's certain weeks that we don't have a guest or 234 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to give you more stuff, more content, 235 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: more ways to listen, so that way we're not just saying, Okay, 236 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have a guest this week, so 237 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: what can we do? And we you know, not trying 238 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: to scramble or throw up an old interview, and I 239 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: mean I've got tons of interviews from the vault so 240 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: those will still be released from time to time. But 241 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: this just kind of gives you a different perspective because 242 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: me and I like I can sit here all day 243 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: long and talk about wrestling, but it's cool to hear 244 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: perspective of wrestling from the female side. And that's what 245 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: we want to do because we're making this, we're taking 246 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,119 Speaker 1: the show bigger.

Obviously, there's 251 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 3: a lot that can be improved. I mean, they'll be 252 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 3: you know, there'll be weeks on Raw and Down where 253 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: there's just one women segment and they have a locker 254 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 3: room full of people that aren't getting used, and you know, 255 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: so just being able to let the let the women 256 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 3: have a voice, and it just it feels more authentic 257 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: coming from women than it does us just talking about it, 258 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: you know.

Like there's been reports of like no showing, 335 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 3: you know, and and like I don't know events, you know, 336 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 3: buying you know, flights and hotels and the whole nine, 337 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: and then like the day before he can't go. And 338 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: you know, there's obviously more than just one side of 339 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: the story, so there's no telling what's going on. But 340 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 3: but I mean, I've always loved said Vicious. I've always 341 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: I mean, he's pretty much like the perfect big guy. 342 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: You know, he can do the big boots, he does 343 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 3: the power slam or the not the body slam. 344 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: The choke slam. 345 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: No, what is his move? 346 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: Did he have the power bomb. 347 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: He had the power bomb.

So, I mean, 424 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 3: it kind of feels a little too early to take 425 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: it off Jericho, but like, if anybody's gonna do it, 426 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: Moxley's probably the next biggest star in the company, you know, 427 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: So so I don't really know. I haven't I haven't 428 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: really dived into it yet. 429 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 5: I don't know. 430 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 3: It feels a little early, but again, if they're going 431 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 3: to take it off and put it on somebody, I'm 432 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: okay with it being Moxley. 433 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: And it's like crazy. The only title that has actually 434 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: changed hands is the tag team title, and it was 435 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night. 436 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 3: M M.

It was just like candy, like here you go. 441 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: Oh no, you have the belt, now here you go. 442 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 3: It's just a non thing. But now we're stuck with 443 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: Brock being the champ and you know he never defends 444 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: it on the you know, just that kind of crap. 445 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: So it's like like find a balance, like, you know, 446 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 3: you don't have to have a Brock, but like don't 447 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: change the title every week either, you know, but. 448 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: It's defending the title at Superstar Showdown. 449 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: Well I mean yeah, I mean, and that's a review 450 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 5: that well yeah, well kind of yeah, I guess. 451 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: But speaking of Brock, I know, we're just all over 452 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: the place. But apparently tonight on Rawl it's Ricochet, Rawlins 453 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: and Bobby Lashley and Winner gets to face Brock Lesnar 454 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: at WWE Superstar Showdown, which gut Feeling says they're going 455 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: to give it to Ricochet after Ricochet kicked him in 456 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: the nuts because they're not going to put Bobby Lashley 457 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: or seth agains him, but I'd be shocked. 458 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 3: I think I could see him doing Lastly just because 459 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: he's talked about it for like ten years and just like, Okay, 460 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: go to Saudi Arabia, do it and get it over 461 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 3: with and that's it, you know, like there, he's obviously 462 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 3: not going to beat Brock, So. 463 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: But what if he does though, even though he's not, 464 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: because we all know that it's going to be Mac 465 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: and Higher and Lesnar for the title at WrestleMania, Yeah, 466 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: which makes which that makes me think it'd be Ricochet 467 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: over Lashly, But like you said, I mean it could 468 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: be Lashley finally kind of gets his wish and maybe 469 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: McIntyre screws it so Lashly doesn't look bad. 470 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could see it going to Ricochet, 471 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 3: just because Brock's kind of been a fan of fighting 472 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: smaller guys lately. That's why he fought Finn last year, 473 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: and that's why he did his stuff with Rawlin, so 474 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: he kind of he prefers that kind of style over 475 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: two big dudes. And I guess that translates into it's 476 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: less work, you know what I mean, Like when you're 477 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 3: having to manhandle bron Stroman. You know, it's a lot 478 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: harder than Finn Balor, who's six foot tall, one hundred 479 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: and eighty pounds. 480 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: You know, man, it's and it's you know a lot 481 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: of the stuff.

So is this where we see Sting an 484 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: undertaker or do we see it WrestleMania's going to make 485 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: them pay the money because I mean, like we've said 486 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: on the show before, you mentioned it that when this 487 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: first was brought up to Saudi Arabia, they were wanting 488 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: like Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior and all these people. But 489 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: it's like, who is the person that's gonna randomly show 490 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: up to Super Superstar Showdown. I mean, does Tyson Fury 491 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: show back up again, even though he's got a fight 492 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: at the end of this month. Do we finally get 493 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: to see Cain Velasquez. Maybe he screw something up. I mean, 494 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: he's been gone, you know, he debuted and then that 495 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: was it. He got tapped out a Superstar Showdown. 496 00:25:51,800 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, man, It's like I don't know, man, 497 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: It's like I mean, obviously what I like to see that. Yes, 498 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: I mean, arguably Sting's my favorite wrestler of all time. 499 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 3: So you know, I'm also a fan, you know, obviously 500 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 3: an Undertaker fan as well. So but you know, Sting 501 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 3: retired because of his injury with his match with seth Rawlins. 502 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's fifty five. 503 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 3: I think Undertaker fifty three. You know, we saw how 504 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 3: bad the last match was with Undertaker in Saudi Arabia. 505 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: So I don't know, man, I mean, they evidently paid 506 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: Tyson Fury like fifteen million dollars to do that thing 507 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: with whatever he did, that crap with Bronze Strowman, So 508 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure they could find five million bucks 509 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: to give Sting and five million bucks to give Undertaker, 510 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: because that is that is like a fantasy kind of thing, 511 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 3: like people are, you know, that's one they never they 512 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 3: never got to see. But it's just like I don't know, man, 513 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't know if I want to 514 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 3: see Sting a fifty five wrestling in the heat in 515 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, you know, like I don't know. Maybe it's 516 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: best it didn't happen, you know, so maybe I mean, 517 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, man, they get huge paydays for those 518 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia things, so who knows. 519 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: Most definitely, So I mean it could be one of 520 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: those things we don't know. I did see that bray 521 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: Wyatt did challenge Sting to a wrestling match, and it 522 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: was like a chain juggling chainsaws match or something along 523 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: those lines. 524 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 3: I saw that. 525 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: I was like, that's very interesting. I think if anybody 526 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: could probably work a match, it would be cool to 527 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: see Sting and bray Wyatt. It's like Sting in his prime. 528 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: But uh, Sting now, I don't know. 529 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I'm just worried. I mean, he he 530 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 3: had to retire because of his nag, so like, just 531 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: I mean, stay retired. 532 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: And the thing is is like Sting's lost both times 533 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: at WrestleMania, so you can't make him come back and 534 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: wrestle the Thentaker and let him lose a third time. 535 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's kind of my my hang up 536 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 3: with it is just that they're like they there's almost 537 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: no scenario where they would put stingover Undertaker, Like they're 538 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,719 Speaker 3: never they They're never going to let him win. 539 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 4: And so. 540 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,719 Speaker 3: I mean, you're right, I mean, why would he Granted 541 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 3: it's if it's five million bucks, I can understand, but. 542 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, why would I lay down on the map 543 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: for five millions? 544 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 3: But I mean like, why would you like keep tarnishing 545 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: your history and you know, like why would you why 546 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 3: would you have an zero to three record in WWE 547 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: when you were the guy in WCW and you were 548 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: the guy in TNA. You know, Like, I don't know. 549 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: But again, at this point, he's done. He doesn't care 550 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: about all that crap. He's like, you're cutting me a 551 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 3: check for five million bucks. I'm gonna be there with 552 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: paint on. 553 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, I'm gonna be there, paint on, whatever 554 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: sting you want me to be, I'll be there. That's 555 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: if that was me. But yeah, so it should be interesting. 556 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: Of course, Like I said, Raul's going on right now, 557 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: and I just kind of scroll through Twitter just seeing 558 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: what's going on, But it doesn't look like too much 559 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: other than Randy Orton cutting a promo. I do want 560 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: to do talk about this though, because androde this is 561 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: kind of be the last one before we head into 562 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: the William Shatner interview. You know, so Andreda got busted 563 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: for PDS, right, they put him out, he's gone for 564 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 1: thirty days. Humberto came out like pretty much dedt'ed him 565 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: on the concrete. But what I don't understand is why 566 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: don't they just say, okay, like let Andrade lose the 567 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: belt because that's thirty Even though that title's not the 568 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: end of the world. I mean, I mean, it's a 569 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: great title, but it doesn't really get the respected to 570 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: do on TV. Maybe this is the thing where they 571 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: could bring him back with the do belt that they 572 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: have planned. 573 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think they just had they 574 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 3: have plans for it, so it just makes it makes 575 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 3: more sense. I guess it just makes more sense to 576 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 3: have have him keep you know. I guess it's one 577 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: thing if it's like Finn and his shoulder got ripped 578 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 3: out of socket and he has to be out nine months, 579 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: you know, But this is a thirty day thing, so 580 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 3: they could just write it into a story. I guess. 581 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's cool to see Humberto back, But 582 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: like I said, I think we've said it on the 583 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: show before. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow by WrestleMania 584 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: or WrestleMania, Humberte will have a championship on him. 585 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: I mean they seem pretty high on him, so I 586 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: mean that would not surprise me. But of course, Andrede 587 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 3: has a very powerful, fluential fiance. 588 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: So Charlotte, it's a little coffee in here. I don't 589 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: know what's going on, but lucky him. Yeah, ex good 590 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: for him. 591 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 3: Oh, I guess we can't say bron Struman's a new 592 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: Intercontinental champion. 593 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah he is that. But of course we did send 594 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: out a tweet or an Instagram thing, uh telling Broun 595 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: don't get too comfortable with that because Seamus is coming 596 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: after him. And to be completely honest, I'd like to 597 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: see Seamus and uh Bron go at it for the title. 598 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it was cool talking to him last week, 599 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: and that's the last belt he needs to be, like 600 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 3: a Grand Slam champion. 601 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 5: So. 602 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 3: It would be a very tough match to fight bron Struman. 603 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: But I mean, if anybody could do it, it's gonna 604 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: be shamous. 605 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: That would be a pretty big exclamation point, I think. 606 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that kind of concludes, uh, this week's episode. 607 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, I don't think there's anything else.
