We got 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.680 a great show for you today. I had a very 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.920 strange deep dive wrestling weekend that we'll get into, a 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.520 super funny story that happened to me that made me 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.760 almost throw up or laugh. I chose laughter, and a 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.800 whole bunch of wrestling with me, as always is my 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.559 awesome co host, Jeff Buddy.

I want to start to show 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.040 with something sad, but it ends funny, all right, I 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.400 promise it ends funny. Buddy of mine from childhood took 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.200 his own life last week, and it just numbed me, 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.640 like I was just I didn't feel good or bad 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:06.959 or anything right for a good couple of days, and uh, 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.160 it really really messed me up. And then this morning, 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.279 and I've been talking, you know about how I wish 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:18.640 and dudes, you're by the way, you're not burdening your friends. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.440 Man like, oh no, he's got enough on his back. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.679 No dog that that space on my back is reserved 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.440 for you. Whether you have problems or not. That space 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.880 is reserved for you, and no one else gets to 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.080 have that space. Just in case you're feeling screwed up 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:41.320 and you gotta say something. So just know that you're 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.480 never a burden to your homies. They they guys don't 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.400 freaking talk enough. But I promise you, man, You're real 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.840 friends have space. They may say, some real ship that 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.840 sucks to hear sometimes, but there is room. You are 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.600 not a burden. Call your friends and you can reach 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.360 the suicide and Crisis lifeline simply by dialing nine eight 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.640 domestically here in the United States. That said, I had 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.800 this huge sort of release of emotion this morning. I 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.280 decided to go surf and so uh, I tossed the 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.640 surfboard on the top of the old school for not 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.640 old school is just a beat or like two thousand 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.959 eleven four runner um it's black. So if you see 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.920 me out there, say what. And I drove down to 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.120 the to the beach just to catch a couple of ways. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.040 I just surf on a long board. Now I can't 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.760 surf on the on those six footers. I break my 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.239 ankles and my neck. Uh. So I have a big 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.760 old nine footer and I go out there and I'm 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.040 surfing and having a good time, and I'm I'm walking 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.079 back and there's a guy with his surfboard laying against 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.359 my car and he's like long hair, wet suits halfway 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.000 down and he's like probably I don't know, twenty seven. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.280 He looks young. And I go, hey, bro, that's my car. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.399 And he turns around and he goes, dude, I think 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.920 I know what my car looks like. Man, And I 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.880 started laughing because his voice is so awesome. He sounds 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.440 like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, right, And so I go, 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.560 my man, I promise you that's my car. He goes, dude, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.760 it's my car. And I go, try to open your door. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.640 And he goes to open the door and nothing happens, right, 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.560 And I pull out my key while he's doing that, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.280 and I unlock it and I go, now try it 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.080 and he opens the door and he still kind of 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.960 comes at me like what did you Like he's gonna 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.920 accuse me of like stealing his keys. But as he 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.000 does it, he looks like twenty ft down and there 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.480 is an identical two thousand eleven beat or unwashed for 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.040 runner that looks exactly like mine. And he turns back 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.120 to me and he goes and he's super excited. He 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.120 has this huge smile. He goes, Bro, we have the 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.800 exact same car. And I dropped dead on the ground. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.120 I was either gonna puke or laugh, and my mind 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.800 chose laughter. And uh, it was an amazing morning. So 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.760 I feel very motivated and excited to be here today 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.560 to you, Jeff, my good friends man, I'm good. I 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.400 love that story because he wasn't like embarrassed or he 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.480 wasn't like, oh my bad man. He was like, whoa 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:19.719 same car? Bro? It was so like old school Keanu Reeves, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.360 like what. I just loved him. So, by the way, 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.840 his name is Eric. He's super cool and I just 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.960 followed him on Instagram so we can go surfing again. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.720 Nice dude, just shout out to Eric. You don't know 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.440 how much of my Johnny I didn't tell you. I'm 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.600 going to call you Johnny Utah in my context of 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.440 the trade numbers. You don't know what you did for me. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.760 This morning. But you really took like a huge weight 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.920 off my shoulders. So may the May Poseidon love you, 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:53.840 Eric Slash, Johnny Utah. Wrestling numbers are in and wrestling 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.600 is good. I was just telling our producer that wrestling 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.560 might be the best it's been since the Monday Night Wars. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.919 This has been so exciting to have two great companies 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.880 and you don't know what's gonna happen. There's also back 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.560 room gossip, but there's you know, everyone's jumping ships, some 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.479 people coming every I think it's very exciting times for 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.240 wrestling him. I think it's getting pretty darn close to that. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.480 I don't know if it's there yet. Let's move on 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.160 to Monday Night Raw and my newest most favorite mask 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.320 wearing superhero Edge. I love the mask I still made. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.119 I wish you would have come out with another mask 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.200 on and that's his new gimmick. But he did not. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.440 He came out handsome as ever and hot and angry, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.920 and he wanted revenge. He wanted accountability, he wanted answers, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.680 and instead of getting him from Dom, he gets ready 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.719 to come out and raise like, dude, please hold on, dope, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.200 Pita hell out of my son, you're six six, bro, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.480 you look like a Viking. He's twelve. Please don't hurt him. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.320 Yeah he is. He is the chest of a kindergarten bro. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.000 I'm sitting there. I'm like, they're making dom Main interesting 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.480 without forcing him to talk and put it on himself. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:09.919 So dom comes out with Ria and I saw another 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.560 one of those like memes out there where they do 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.120 the match imagery, and it was very Eddy and China 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.200 the way Ria was with Dominic, and there was kind 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.599 of like but reverse roles because Ri is just this 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.480 force of nature. Man. I really think they just booked 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.560 her beautifully and she's really stepping up, and it builds 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.599 two I love Damien Priest. It builds eventually to a 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.840 match that they have, but screw the match. I just 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.640 love the way they're working to make Dominic interesting. So 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.960 I love what they've done with it. I went from 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.160 completely criticizing Dominic to now going okay, okay, all right 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.919 each week and then they're kudos to Triple H and 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.520 the Gang of b for that. I'm very, very I'm 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.560 into it. Would you love to see a Dominic versus 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.560 Ray Mystereo match like that classic Dad versus Son kind 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.599 of it's gonna happen. It has to happen. It has 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.280 to and I think that's why they're protecting his voice 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.360 so he can watch all these people that are good 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.520 talkers on the mic and learn from them and get 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.920 more comfortable and confident because it's clearly working, like the 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.920 crowd's feeling it so and when you have confidence, it's 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.960 much easier to learn, and you learn much more quickly. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.760 So all these little things, man, they have kept him silent, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.800 which is so smart and so beautiful, because even if 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.080 he does have talent, we wouldn't know because he hasn't 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.200 had the confidence to show it yet. He's just young 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.800 and inexperienced, and he shy. You know. They gotta pull 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.240 something out to see if it's there. And I really 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.560 just I was so wrong on this. I think our 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.560 first episode, I said they should just blow this up 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.040 and get rid of get rid of it, because without edge, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.360 it's gonna suck. And I'm super dumb and they're super smart, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.360 and I I can't wait to see if they can 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.360 make this work. Even if they fail, they still have 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.640 done a great job building this up. At a certain point, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.720 it's on the talent, and I think that triple h 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.720 and whoever else is on the creative team right now 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.960 are putting him in a position where if he can't 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.200 succeed in that then it's just not It's not meant 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.000 to be at that level. I don't think you're dumb 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.200 at all. I think that it wasn't interesting and now 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.000 they're making it interesting. That's all. I think that that's 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.120 all it was. And it wasn't interesting when you said 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.280 it wasn't, and now it's getting interesting and we're commenting 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.960 on it. That's all. I don't want to talk long 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.440 about this, but there was one really funny part the 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.280 return of bron Stroman. Oh god, you do you know? 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.560 That's my dream come true. The fact that he's back. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.240 It makes me so happy. So he came in and 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.840 destroyed the entire tag team division. Um, which will take 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.440 now quite a few weeks for people to take it 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:55.480 seriously again. That's okay, um, but welcome back Braun. I 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.720 got love for the big man. He's super. I love 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.640 how fast he runs around the ring. It looks like 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.439 a bowl from the Bugs Bunny card, it's awesome. The 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.480 one that like Bugs slaps him in the cheeks and 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.120 then Bugs takes one of the ass and goes flying out. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.080 That's what he looks like to me when he runs. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.880 He kind of botched one of those he did. He 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.360 tripped and fell and then got back up and went 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.480 after it again. But he got back up. He didn't 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.600 tied us on Neil himself and going through the ring 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.040 one most used games. So anyway, the only part of 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.280 this segment we're talking about other than Braun's back is 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.680 Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. It's like the winner of 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.679 the match, whoever it was, becomes the number one contender. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.959 It was like a gimmick horseshit match that was gonna suck. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.280 They knew it was gonna suck because they knew Braun 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.800 was gonna come and kill everybody. And it ends up 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:52.680 being KOFY and Xavier in the ring together against one another, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.040 and so they square up like they're gonna fight, and 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.880 the Xavier just lays down and KOFE dives for the 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.080 one to three. But before it gets to three, everyone's like, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.240 oh ship, they'll jump in the ring and ripped copiap. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.160 That made me pop loud. I love that they didn't 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.680 even break the road dog rule because they waited and 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.040 circled around. Oh, and uh, we're gonna go to it 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:19.400 a little early today still of the week. Yeah, Austin 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.800 theory came out. I stopped counting the amount of times 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.280 he sold his hurt jaw from Tyson Fury at twenty two. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.320 That's when I stopped counting. Yeah, I saw at least 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:37.000 another twenty cells. It's it's got the real live Morgan 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.320 feeling like my arm, my arm. It's like, we get 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:55.200 it your jawn. This is my conspiracy theory. Right here? 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.880 Are they ribbing him? Do you think Hunterson? Because this 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:02.600 was Vince's guy, And I still vow that Vince ribbed 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.600 carrying cross and gave him the Gladiator gimmick because Triple 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.520 H his favorite movie is Gladiator, and that was Triple 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.839 H is guy. And everyone can see how much that's 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.200 Triple HS guy if they watched Friday Night SmackDown. I 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.400 think this is Vince's guy, and Hunters now gonna just 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.720 like whack on this guy. I honestly think he sold 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.240 it like forty times throughout the show Man. It was crazy, like, 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.480 I know Tyson Furies the man, but but bro threes 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.240 enough A rib is like, I'm not trying to screw 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.760 you over. I'm just trying to go gotta you know 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.680 what I mean. It's just a rib at a high level. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.240 It's like a you know, billionaires play ribs at a 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.160 higher level. Tip of the hat, Dude, I sold or 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:52.120 I didn't sell it, but had this actor he booked 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.320 a movie in like Bulgaria or some ship. And we 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.720 didn't always get along, and I would pull branks on 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.400 him and zup with his house on the market, but 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.600 his home who his home answering machine. This is back 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.320 in the day's cell phones were like big and he 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.400 got back home, I got a phone call and he's 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.880 cussing me out. Of course, he goes, they didn't even 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.360 work as good as you think because my answer machine 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.560 ran out of tape so people couldn't even and he 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.360 had co waiting, and I'll I hear him going, god damn. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.840 He just slap the phone because he knew it was 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.520 another call. So yeah, sell your friends houses, guys, that's 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.040 a good that's a good prank to pull. So anyway, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.440 KO theory, Kevin Owen's comes out and he is breaking 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.520 the fourth wall. He's doing everything except Eddie Murphy like 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.600 looking into the camera like what's that not? He comes out, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.560 challenges everything Theory says and then hit something this like 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.079 two weeks in a row where he's like that, we're 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.000 not gonna waste time. In a few seconds, a referee 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.480 is gonna here he comes now, and we're just gonna fight. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.320 And I think he's probably the only guy right now 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.040 they can pull that off because he has that credibility 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.040 of that kind of attitude for so many years. But 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.920 they had a match to steal a phrase from from Shamus, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:17.320 they had a banger. Uh. They fought for what felt 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.920 was like forty five minutes. It's like eighteen commercial breaks, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.400 and Theory can freaking work man. But they're making Kevin 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.200 Owens out to be a killer of all killers. I 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.679 would love to see carry and Cross with one title, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.040 Kevin Owen's with the other title, and let's see who's 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.920 good enough to out talk and outwork one of those guys. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:46.120 I think both those those gentlemen could have wonderful championship stories. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.840 What say you? I love Kevin Owens. I'm still not 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.080 sold on Austin Theory. I think he I think he could, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.400 you know, I think he's a star, But I don't 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.000 think he's a superstar and I don't think he's like 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.559 an A list guy. Um, he's learning, he's learning. Yeah, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.040 and I think that we're just not there yet. And 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.200 Kevin Owens, Kevin Owens is the man. Dude like Kevin Owens, 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.679 Bronstrom and those are my guys. He did some episodes 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:11.280 of ww Rivals and if it was a rivalry, he 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.559 didn't like. He's straight up ship on it. I love 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.400 that on the show. No one's had the balls to 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.080 do that. Everyone else's company line, company line. And he 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.800 said at the top of the show to the producer, goes, hey, 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.120 if I thought that this sucked, can I say that? 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.800 And the producer kind of like ghosted up and got scared. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.720 And I love Kevin Oens. I was like, dude, say it. Yeah, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.800 he goes, He goes okay, and uh, the producer looked 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.880 at me, Ben Houser, he's the man, and I go, bro, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.480 if it's too much, just edited out, like it's all good. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.200 He's not gonna just totally dump on it. But when 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.320 it was things that he felt strongly about, he gave 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:52.120 his honest no ww E corporate line. But he was 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.640 just like, yo, I thought this rivalry between Stone Cold, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.200 Steve Austin and Bret Hart. Spoiler, we're doing that one 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.720 that should have started here. It should have this guy 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.120 should have won here, Like he straight up challenged the 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.360 booking of it, and I'm like, this is great and 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.960 j B l who is uber knowledgeable, but the company 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.480 man started defending the position of the booking and it 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.080 was so cool watching the level because there was respect 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.080 between the two men. But they had a respectful debate 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.600 back and forth. First time that's happened on an episode, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.640 and we got him for five episodes and he and 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.560 that's how he was everyone. He should have been on 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.800 it from Jump Street. That's my best of the week. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.680 Most people that know about wrestling and know about you 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.840 know that you, uh, you worked for w t B 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.000 and four events and you were in those rooms. If 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.120 new listeners didn't know that Freddie worked at w w 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.040 E and worked right by the sides of all these guys, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.400 I imagine those conversations happened when they are writing storylines, right, 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.240 like when you're sitting there, like someone say we should 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.840 do this, and someone else to say we should do this? 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.840 Or is it not like that? Usually it's like six 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.640 people all saying we should do something different. Okay, Yeah, 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.560 so that that's kind of a cool inside peak of like, yeah, 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.800 I would have done it this way, and someone else going, well, 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.680 here's why events did it, and here's why we said 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.400 it this way. Here's why. So that's pretty like inside baseball. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.480 Pretty cool. It was awesome to get to be in 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:17.080 there while they were not arguing, but and it wasn't heated, 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:21.160 but they both believed in their opinions strongly, and to 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.240 be like hearing it and knowing that some of that 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.920 might even be edited out, I was just like, wow, man, like, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.760 that's this is I didn't say ship for like five 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.920 minutes straight. I just let him go back and forth. Yeah, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.400 I just let let it rip. We get to the 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.240 featured match of the evening, and if you're not into wrestling, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.440 but you listen to the podcast anyway, you will enjoy this. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.960 H It was a steel cage match. They they were 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.560 throwing promos to it all night. You love all kinds 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.880 of gimmicks, You must love a cage match. Love a 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.840 cage match, always have. Guess who I was rooting for, Freddie, 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.640 You know me pretty well. Guess who I was rooting 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.560 for I know who you should have been rooting for, 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.360 which was the Myths, But you were rooting for the 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.640 same person my daughter was rooting for, which is Bobby 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.800 Lashly Almighty. A lot of times in these matches, the 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.960 bad guys will attack the good guy before it starts 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.040 because there's no rules, and then they throw them in 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.720 the cage and then they get the advantage and beat 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.879 them up. Now, the only way to win this is 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.119 to pin your opponent one to three, but that's bowring. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.719 The other way is to open the door to the 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.520 cage because your opponents so beat down that you have 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.479 time to walk out and exit and escape the cage. 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.360 Escape running away not a very you know, manly thing 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.560 to do, but many a he'll have one this way, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.680 and a couple of baby faces too. And the third way, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.080 and really the only way, the most superior and coolest way, 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.919 the way Eric the Surfer would do the ring. The 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.879 ring exit is to climb to the top of the cage, 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.439 over the top and climb down to the other side, 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.679 landing on your two feet. Boom. You're the winner. The 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.000 losers laid out in the middle of the ring, or 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.440 even better, halfway up looking at you and defeat and 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.919 despair like ah, I could have had him, And then 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.159 they just let go because the adrenaline is gone, and 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.320 they just collapse in the middle of the ring while 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.680 you have victory. MS is gonna win the match. He 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:17.320 climbs to the top of the cage slowly sally, Oh, 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.240 everything hurts in my body. There's just two more feet. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.280 I'm at the top. It's Bobby's still down. He's hurt. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.919 I can finally get over. And then from out of 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.960 the bottom of the ring like on a like a 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.800 mechanic sliding out from under a car, Dexter Loomis slides 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.879 out and is just creepily staring into the eyes of 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:42.960 a now horrified miss, and it's way goofy, and it's 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.360 and maybe and I'm not saying it in a good 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.600 or bad way because I'm still trying to decide how 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:52.280 I feel. So anyway, MS falls, Bobby wins. Dexter Loomis 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.760 goes into the ring and he puts the miss in 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.560 a choke hold and puts him to sleep. And while 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.640 he's putting him to sleep, he's patting his he's stroking 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.600 his hair the way a cat lady strokes her cat, 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.280 and it might be my worst of the week, but 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.000 it was almost my best of the week at the 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.840 exact same time. Did you watch this match? What did 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.920 you think? Yeah? I loved it. Uh. I like any 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.679 time I can get that finish that I was that 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.879 I'm hoping for as far as like, I'm so easy 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.879 to please. If the guy that comes out and going, 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.800 I hope he crushes him, and he did, so I was. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.919 I was excited. Plus, like you said, still cage. You 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:31.960 can't go wrong. Even when it was old school, even 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.080 when it was like the blue remember the old blue, 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.320 Love the Blue. I missed so much easier to climb to. 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.760 You know, obviously you're not going to climb chain Link, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:44.119 but you could do more moves off of the blue cage. 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.040 I like the color of it. I like everything. They 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.520 can't do as many moves. And depending on what show 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.520 it's on. When it's like chain Link, like it's tough 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.920 to be able to do any like the high flying 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.840 stuff or jump back or any of the kind of 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.000 any of those things. Some of those crazy fools still 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.960 do it on it's not as clean. We're gonna move 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:06.680 on to dynamite. If you listen. Last week, everybody hates everybody, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:12.280 and now everyone is suspended, apparently very confusing, the tag Teams, Champs, 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:17.240 the Trios Champs, Kenny omega Um, one of the producers, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.840 a CM punk who's injured for eight months anyway. I 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.719 think he might have known that, and that's why he 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.920 went off in that press groom because he's like, I'm 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.639 out of here anyway, I got eight months recoveries, so 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:33.960 I'm cutting throats. I don't know, but everyone's fired. Thank god, 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:39.880 m JF is back to save the company. If he's 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.760 able to hold any kind of number for his segments, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.000 you're gonna see guys that are suspended right now get 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.520 straight fired because he's gonna go yo. I don't need 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.560 this drama. I got this kid, and he came out. 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:55.520 They loved him, and when he left they were laughing 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.360 and booing him. His button on his shirt even got 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:00.320 stuck when he got angry trying to get it off, 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.320 and I wouldn't even put it past him if that 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.040 was a work and it wasn't even really stuck, like 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.920 he just is. He's that freaking smart. And I bet 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.399 he saw it happen in an old wrestling video because 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.119 he's a tape head big time, and I bet he 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.520 was like, that's hysterical, I'm gonna steal that and use it. 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.399 I bet it wasn't even on accident. He's just that 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.240 frigging good. And we're not gonna get into much. But 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.119 there is no world champion. There's a tournament and Brian 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.160 Danielson is in this tournament, and I think Brian Danielson 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.720 is gonna win this tournament, and I think that gives 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.800 us m JF versus Brian Danielson, which will be a 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:41.040 story that every single wrestling fan in the world wants 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.960 to watch, will watch, and will be rewarded because Brian 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:49.080 Danielson ain't about all that backstage bs. Brian Danielson's about wrestling, 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:51.840 and m JF is not about all that backstage drama. 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:56.000 MJFS about stories and reasons why we are going to wrestle. 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.480 And if you put the two of those dudes in 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.320 a ring together, you could run their story for the 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.960
