Speaker 2: and Cody Rhodes in aew Roderick Strong makes his debut
Speaker 2: on aw Dynamite as he comes to the rescue of
Speaker 2: his dear friend mister Adam cole Baby. Also a huge
Speaker 2: update on Vegula, a huge update on All End from
Speaker 2: Wimbley Stadium. Over forty thousand have registered for the pre
Speaker 2: sale codes. Bad Bunny is coming to WWE SmackDown from
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico this Friday, finally talking about Puerto Rico backlashes
Speaker 2: this Saturday. Will Cody defeat the Beast brook Less? This
Speaker 2: has been Biff Michaelson. Good evening and good luck. That
Speaker 2: was Biff Michaelson. Jeff, how are you.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, I've I haven't been here, you know
Speaker 3: since day one of the podcasts. I don't even know
Speaker 3: if Biff Michaelson has, but he has been.
Speaker 2: A huge part of the podcast. Shout out to Miff
Speaker 2: is new. Biff is new. We just we named him
Speaker 2: in this moment, and Biff, thanks you. You told me
Speaker 2: a fan, Biff? What's up?
Speaker 3: Brother?
Speaker 2: How was your week? Big wrestling week? It was a
Speaker 2: big wrestling week. Family was good. My son played some
Speaker 2: flag football and had a sick juke that knocked that
Speaker 2: made this kid knock himself over and everybody went, whoas
Speaker 2: that little guy? Because my son's little, but he looked
Speaker 2: like wark done out there this week and their team won,
Speaker 2: So congratulations to the tiny Rams. They kicked some booty
Speaker 2: this weekend. And other than that, I watched MJF and
Speaker 2: Sammy Govar become best friends. And I watched the USOS
Speaker 2: and Kevin and Sammy Pete living crap out of each other.
Speaker 2: How about you, sir? How is your week? And weekend
Speaker 2: felt good? I was in Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: I watched It's funny because you know, I just said
Speaker 3: big wrestling week. There there was some good wrestling stuff
Speaker 3: that happened. But whenever it's one of these draft things,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of wrestling. It's a lot of
Speaker 3: just drafting. And then we just got a lot of
Speaker 3: tag matches. Yeah, they bring back these old guys to
Speaker 3: come back. Hey, here's road Dog. He's gonna tell you
Speaker 3: which one of the NXT people you've never heard of
Speaker 3: is getting drafted. Yeah, but not trying to be negative. Still,
Speaker 3: it was still a fun week of wrestling, just saying
Speaker 3: it was a little you know, it was not as
Speaker 3: exciting as it could be. And maybe that's because backlash
Speaker 3: is coming up, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Jeff No, I love the old guys. It was
Speaker 2: a big week. The draft's always big to me working there.
Speaker 2: The draft wasn't important to them. It was just a
Speaker 2: way to move talent from the tape show to the
Speaker 2: live show to see if they would sink or swim,
Speaker 2: or if they wanted to give someone an opportunity. They'd say, hey,
Speaker 2: so and so do you want to get off the
Speaker 2: live show. We'll put you on SmackDown for a bit,
Speaker 2: and I've worked out with their schedule. Then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, book that they get drafted. But it is
Speaker 2: important in the regards in regards to who's getting a
Speaker 2: chance on the main show, which is Monday night Raw, Right,
Speaker 2: that's where opportunities are earned. That's where, like I said, before,
Speaker 2: you sink or swim. Everything's scarier when it's live. It's
Speaker 2: not harder, it's just scarier. Some people don't worry about
Speaker 2: that fear and it motivates them and other people freeze up.
Speaker 2: And you see that on Monday Night Raw, which is
Speaker 2: one of the craziest things if you think about it,
Speaker 2: in show business. No other television show puts people in
Speaker 2: a situation where if they fail, it's over, unless they're
Speaker 2: like the ultimate professional comedian right where they can improv.
Speaker 2: But these are people that have been on TV sometimes
Speaker 2: a matter of months, and all of a sudden they're
Speaker 2: on Money to Night Raw and they have to remember
Speaker 2: a promo that they didn't get a week with like
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live they got about thirty five minutes, and
Speaker 2: it's so hard.
Speaker 3: Courts like and that's always the part that's so impressive
Speaker 3: to me. Also, like how perfect are they nailing it
Speaker 3: or do they just kind of have to hit the
Speaker 3: bullet points? Is it like a script where it depends? Man?
Speaker 2: There were times where you know, the Powers that B
Speaker 2: would say, you know, here's bullet points, and just make
Speaker 2: sure you get us from point A to point B
Speaker 2: and make sure that this moment in the middle happens.
Speaker 2: Anything you want to do outside of that cool. And
Speaker 2: then there are other wrestlers where the powers that be
Speaker 2: would be like you say it word for work, you
Speaker 2: nail this, nail this promo, nail this script. So it
Speaker 2: just depends on the talent and what they think of them.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it would be a test, which to me was
Speaker 2: so hardcore and counterproductive, like you're going to test on
Speaker 2: live TV, Like that's not where you see if someone
Speaker 2: has it, like especially on your biggest show, that you
Speaker 2: build them up slowly, right like old Hollywood used to do. No,
Speaker 2: we don't fe say. Wrestler X from FCW was suddenly
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Raw having never cut a promo in
Speaker 2: a crowd bigger than you know, two hundred people. And
Speaker 2: that's a lot to put on any you know, young
Speaker 2: or old professional who's trying to make it in show business,
Speaker 2: let alone professional wrestling, where not only do they have
Speaker 2: to have an entire fight scene memorized and choreographed, but
Speaker 2: they have to memorize dialogue in minutes minutes. It's crazy,
Speaker 2: it's crazy, it's crazy not to get sidetracked, but it's
Speaker 2: just cool. It's a cool opportunity for everyone that goes
Speaker 2: to Raw. SmackDown's a big show too, and is treated
Speaker 2: with more respect than it used to be. But shout
Speaker 2: out to the raw cast, Shout out to mister Cody Rhodes,
Speaker 2: Shout out to Becky Lynch, Shout out to Gounther getting
Speaker 2: the shot. Seat at the table, seat at the Yeah,
Speaker 2: what movie is that? From No Idea? It sounded like
Speaker 2: you said, like Maha man Randy Savage though the program.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that football movie James Coach?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: This was a good side quest, dude, good college football movie.
Speaker 2: Talked about like the corruption and the money that goes
Speaker 2: behind the scenes and how the city and the college
Speaker 2: runs the city and all this. And there was this
Speaker 2: one guy named Latimer and he was taking crazy steroids,
Speaker 2: like all of the steroids, just so he could make
Speaker 2: the team. And he finally makes it from special teams
Speaker 2: to starting defense and he goes, yeah, see it at
Speaker 2: the table. Yeah, And on one coach goes to the
Speaker 2: other and he goes, you make sure Latimer knows they're
Speaker 2: piss testing on Friday. Okay.
Speaker 3: I love that one football movie with some wrestlers in
Speaker 3: it that if you don't want you don't want to
Speaker 3: watch it. If you still want to like those wrestlers.
Speaker 2: Don't.
Speaker 3: Don't don't go back and revisit an Adam Sandler movie
Speaker 3: that has some wrestlers.
Speaker 2: In the oh the their Longest Yard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some scenes in there that if modern times
Speaker 3: were to look at it, we would be having a
Speaker 3: pretty big.
Speaker 2: Social issues. Oh no, they'd be canceled.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a scene that every time my buddy goes.
Speaker 2: Then you got to cancel Burt Reynolds too, because he
Speaker 2: did the first one that they did the remakeup, so
Speaker 2: now you have to cancel two generations. Yeah, but the
Speaker 2: cast is the script exactly the same? Hell' no? No,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly. I don't think.
Speaker 3: So. There's just some scene we'll talk about it when
Speaker 3: we're not on camera that you go, oh god, how
Speaker 3: did this make it onto a movie screen?
Speaker 2: What was gonna say? I was just glad about the draft.
Speaker 3: I don't know, if we're talking about it, that they
Speaker 3: didn't break up the street profits, which I was very
Speaker 3: happy about.
Speaker 2: I was nervous they up the street profits. And uh
Speaker 2: so I'm glad that my daughter would have been crushed.
Speaker 2: That's her favorite tag team. Yeah, she would have been annihilated.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that happened.
Speaker 3: And then also, I'm just confused you got Cody Rhodes
Speaker 3: on the opposite show as Roman Reigns.
Speaker 2: Okay, but doesn't this remind you of that story I
Speaker 2: told you last week where yeah, no, everything you're saying
Speaker 2: makes it's not going to get the opportunity. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be hard time for Cody Rhodes on Monday Night. Raw Baby,
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hot times bab.
Speaker 3: Good time for Mit the brock Leftner, good time from
Speaker 3: it the brock Leftner this week.
Speaker 2: All right, So listen, mister Rhodes, let's go to backlash
Speaker 2: and let's talk brock Lessener versus Cody Rhodes. Brock Lessner
Speaker 2: has still not told us why he was such a
Speaker 2: dick in Los Angeles and smashed Cody all over the place.
Speaker 2: They haven't revealed that hopefully there's a Paul Hayman tie
Speaker 2: in there somewhere, and they haven't just forgotten about that
Speaker 2: completely because other than that, they don't have too much
Speaker 2: of a reason to fight. However, I'm more excited to
Speaker 2: see this match than any of the other matches on
Speaker 2: the card. I love Cody Rhoads, my daughter loves Cody
Speaker 2: Rhodes shout out to Cody Rhodes and Brock Lessner is
Speaker 2: freaking awesome.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: It's a unicorn like. Nobody looks like him, Nobody can
Speaker 2: do what he does. He's, you know, almost double his
Speaker 2: age from when he first started wrestling, and he still
Speaker 2: looks just as sick. It's like having a legit unicorn
Speaker 2: on your team. Everybody wants that, even Voldemort one to
Speaker 2: Day I kept him alive was the unicorn blood. So
Speaker 2: hopefully I want Cody to win. But now I'm I'm
Speaker 2: all in on the hard Time story and I think
Speaker 2: Brock's going to kill him, and I think he might
Speaker 2: kill him the way he killed John Cena back in
Speaker 2: the day where it was like a borderline squash match.
Speaker 3: What say you, yeah, I think I think Brock crushes
Speaker 3: Cody Rhoads. I'm I'm no, I've drank the kool aid.
Speaker 3: I think Brock is. I think that we are doing
Speaker 3: the hard Time storyline. And even if not, why would
Speaker 3: you have Cody Rhoades beat Brock? It makes no sense.
Speaker 2: I think the revenge revenge is why Jeff, don't you
Speaker 2: believe in revenge? Are you that nice and sweet? You've
Speaker 2: never gone for revenge. No revenge is fine. I don't
Speaker 2: think people even think about like their memories are so short.
Speaker 2: They're not going, oh, he never got his rematch, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't think that they I don't think that they
Speaker 2: think like that. I don't think that people who do
Speaker 2: you think the people think are going to win this match?
Speaker 2: Do you think that it's like ninety Cody ten percent Brock? Yep?
Speaker 2: Because people are so I don't know, I knew.
Speaker 3: I don't know if over is the right word, but
Speaker 3: like they definitely just drank that Cody Rhoads kool aid.
Speaker 3: The same people that hated him when he was Stardust
Speaker 3: and hated him when he was blah blah blah are
Speaker 3: all They didn't even like him in a w really
Speaker 3: that much, and now.
Speaker 2: They're all about Cody. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think that they're all that believe that
Speaker 3: he got screwed, which also makes people like a person.
Speaker 3: If they think, oh, he should have won against Roman,
Speaker 3: that makes them feel like.
Speaker 2: Bret Hart a lot of latitude, deserve something or whatever.
Speaker 3: So I think I think they all think Cody's gonna
Speaker 3: win and Brock's gonna break their hearts.
Speaker 2: Okay, y'all, so everyone listening, remember this episode and remember
Speaker 2: the last episode, because I think Jeff's right. I think
Speaker 2: most people are all in on Cody. I kind of
Speaker 2: hope they're right. Just I really like him and it's wrestling.
Speaker 2: So it was good then, but it's even better now.
Speaker 2: Like his ring psychology, he's got it all figured out.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: That crazy three matches with Seth Rollins was such a
Speaker 2: good story. They were so good, man. But remember we
Speaker 2: said it first. He's going to lose and he's going
Speaker 2: to get beat the hell up, and it's going to
Speaker 2: be hard times. Baby, It's going to be hard times.
Speaker 2: I think that's what I get more convinced with every
Speaker 2: single minute he's on camera. That's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 3: It does give us a nice reason to root for
Speaker 3: him to lose, too, which is kind of fun because
Speaker 3: you know, I don't want him to lose. I like him.
Speaker 2: But it's one of those things like, uh, it makes
Speaker 2: it okay, Freddy said it, Freddy's buddy or whatever, your friend,
Speaker 2: My buddy is the prognosticator of prognosticators.
Speaker 3: But it makes me feel smart when I go, oh, yes,
Speaker 3: they're doing it. But even though you know, it just
Speaker 3: makes me all right.
Speaker 2: Moving down the line, sir, we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: Bianca bell Air and what has to be nearing the
Speaker 2: end of this story with Damage Control versus EO Sky.
Speaker 2: Bianca has been drafted over to SmackDown. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that means for her. I think it's probably just
Speaker 2: trying to give someone else an opportunity over there, because
Speaker 2: Becky was on SmackDown for a little bit. She was
Speaker 2: on maternity leave for most of her SmackDown tenure, so
Speaker 2: we got Bianca versus EO Sky. I have softened a
Speaker 2: bit on Bianca since she first won the title. I
Speaker 2: would have liked to see her and maybe she's not
Speaker 2: given the freedom on the microphone, but it still looks
Speaker 2: a little tight sometimes, and that's either they're making her
Speaker 2: stay on script or she needs to stay on script.
Speaker 2: I would like to see them let go a little
Speaker 2: bit with that, or maybe just see her relax a
Speaker 2: little bit in her promos versus Eosky, who they won't
Speaker 2: let speak because Inish wasn't her first language, even though
Speaker 2: she speaks English. I didn't know that, but yeah, man,
Speaker 2: it's just like, well, there's an accent. No one can understand.
Speaker 2: Vince doesn't mean bro. They did it to English speaking
Speaker 2: dudes like Drew Drew McIntyre, sorry, Drew McIntyre. So they
Speaker 2: did that with Drew McIntyre when I first worked there.
Speaker 2: They called him up from FCW and they're like, you
Speaker 2: have to lose the accent. You know, it's like my voice.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna like you can't make him do that.
Speaker 2: He's not a trained actor. He's nice, ever worked on
Speaker 2: his voice. He's a big ass dude from Scotland.
Speaker 3: I think I've shared this on the podcast before, but
Speaker 3: for a long time, Becky didn't get her pushed because
Speaker 3: Vince didn't understand what she was saying.
Speaker 2: She would just speak and then he's like, what is
Speaker 2: she saying out there? Does anyone?
Speaker 3: And everyone's like, yeah, we can hear her, fine, like
Speaker 3: we all understand, But Vince has got like a filter
Speaker 3: on his ear that if you don't speak perfect.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know what you're talking about exactly. So the
Speaker 2: setup for this match has been too long for my taste.
Speaker 2: It ran out of gas a while ago, and I
Speaker 2: don't think should end with il Sky, but I think
Speaker 2: it probably will. But they're gonna wrestle. EO's gonna be
Speaker 2: insane and do blind backflips without even bothering blind meaning
Speaker 2: she doesn't even bother to look to see if the
Speaker 2: person's in the right position. She's just trusted them and
Speaker 2: it's the ultimate trust fall with a twist and a
Speaker 2: triple flip and everything else against one of the strongest
Speaker 2: chicks in professional wrestling who can catch you in mid
Speaker 2: air do whatever she wants to do. So I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to a big guy, little guy only, big girl,
Speaker 2: little girl type match. What about you, sir?
Speaker 3: I mean we're winness seeing Damage Control breaking up, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna just have us watch it.
Speaker 2: They haven't even been together that long.
Speaker 3: I mean I remember we was talking about it on
Speaker 3: this podcast when when Damage Control got together, it seemed
Speaker 3: like a cool little stable. They're already breaking up, not
Speaker 3: much to show for. I feel like this will be
Speaker 3: a forgotten stable.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this is really a no match. Really.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, Biancle Bellare, there's zero chance they
Speaker 3: make Eo Sky and the champ, you know, so I
Speaker 3: think it's kind of a silly I think this match
Speaker 3: will be when I go to get beer and snacks.
Speaker 2: Now to a championship match that I know we're both
Speaker 2: going to enjoy. The SmackDown Women's champions Ria Ripley, one
Speaker 2: of our favorites, versus friend of the show, the amazing
Speaker 2: miss Selena Vega, and we're rooting for you, Selena. However,
Speaker 2: Ria Ripley is a killer, and I don't know how
Speaker 2: anybody's got I think she's gonna get a run the
Speaker 2: way Bianca's gotten a run, a plus year title reign
Speaker 2: where everyone, every single storyline is to make at the
Speaker 2: end of the day real look even more credible. And
Speaker 2: then eventually I guess that they still love Rhonda, So
Speaker 2: when Rhonda Rousey gets healthy, then they'll probably do something
Speaker 2: with the two of them. What about you? May you
Speaker 2: excited for this match?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not, because I already know the outcome right Like,
Speaker 3: there's just a zero chance where he Ripley's gonna lose,
Speaker 3: and I love Zelenavega.
Speaker 2: It's tough to get anyone to believe that it's not.
Speaker 2: Here we go the bloodline versus Kevin Owens and Sammy's
Speaker 2: Ain and Matt Riddle, and we say the bloodline that
Speaker 2: includes both uso brothers and their younger brothers Solo SIKOA,
Speaker 2: Matt Riddle and him have been having good beef. I've
Speaker 2: liked Riddle since his since he's made his return, He's
Speaker 2: right in the mix with with top dudes. Triple threat
Speaker 2: match is tough for me to usually get into. AW
Speaker 2: has only had two since I started watching AW that
Speaker 2: I like, not triple threat but six man tags. I'm it.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping I like this because I love Kevin Owens.
Speaker 2: That nobody can get me more hype for a match
Speaker 2: than when he just has his like three sentence I
Speaker 2: don't care. I don't want to talk anymore. I just
Speaker 2: want to punch you in the face. Let's go right out.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, let's call punch somebody in the face.
Speaker 2: And he'll do like the least amount of talking in
Speaker 2: these days in the promos where it used to just
Speaker 2: be like ninety percent Kevin but ten saying Kevin is awesome.
Speaker 2: I love him and I'm looking forward to watching it,
Speaker 2: and I hope I did get as much as I'm
Speaker 2: looking forward to it because I love everybody in the match.
Speaker 3: I like everybody in the match except Matt Riddle. Not
Speaker 3: crazy about Matt Riddle, but you know the story like.
Speaker 2: Not a Riddle guy. I'll never get too mad you
Speaker 2: didn't catch his flip flops like when he flip flop
Speaker 2: and also missed.
Speaker 3: A little spoiler for the fans or like a little
Speaker 3: little a little inside information for wrestling fans. If you're
Speaker 3: ever at a match and you do catch Matt Riddle's
Speaker 3: flip flop, security guard comes and takes it from you
Speaker 3: and says, I need that bill. Yeah he gets he
Speaker 3: gets his flip flop back. So that's frustrating.
Speaker 2: If you catch a flop, you keep the flop. I'm
Speaker 2: keeping it and then they're gonna go you have to leave,
Speaker 2: and I go, no, keeping it. He flip. He flipped
Speaker 2: it off his foot. I know they come and grab it. Stupid, right,
Speaker 2: What do you get? What do they give you? Nothing?
Speaker 3: They just go, hey, I need that bad nothing. They
Speaker 3: give you nothing. It's not like a foul ball in baseball.
Speaker 3: It's it's worse. It's it's way, way, way worse. We
Speaker 3: need to start a hashtag maybe, so just get Matt
Speaker 3: Riddle a nice flip flop endorsement. Anyways, that way, he
Speaker 3: has one per venue that he could doesn't have to
Speaker 3: worry about losing some flip flop.
Speaker 2: No, Tiva, step up, Tiva, what the hell you want
Speaker 2: to start selling stuff besides two river rafters. You put
Speaker 2: your your sandals and your flip flops on Matt Riddle,
Speaker 2: you call them the Riddles. You just give him his
Speaker 2: olden just like they did Air Jordan, and then boom,
Speaker 2: your sales go up and kids can actually keep the
Speaker 2: flops that the gip flip.
Speaker 3: Also, the rock never went into the audience and went
Speaker 3: and grabbed his elbow pad. No, he said, hey, that's
Speaker 3: one per one per people's elbow. Some fans going on,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do that back, young man. I got the
Speaker 3: people's elbow when he did it to mankind. They're they're
Speaker 3: they're all remembering them. Oh, I remember when he did
Speaker 3: the people's elbow and so and so I got that
Speaker 3: elbow guard. No, this match, the bloodline was Kevin on
Speaker 3: Sam's and Matt Riddle. I've got the bloodline. I feel
Speaker 3: like they can't lose. Also, when are they gonna name
Speaker 3: that flying Samoan spike that the solo is Coya does What.
Speaker 2: Do you mean it's called the Samoan spike, that's the name.
Speaker 3: Of it, but he does like a flying one lately,
Speaker 3: Like he's like, does it jumping up? It's almost like
Speaker 3: a Superman punch slash.
Speaker 2: It's a jumping samos. Yeah, don't you know, wrestling bro.
Speaker 3: I just wish that they'd have a separate name for it,
Speaker 3: you know, Oh my god, I'm with the what's the superman?
Speaker 2: You could call it? That's pretty quick. So I think
Speaker 2: Roman would get mad and then that could give him
Speaker 2: a little storyline where he's like, hey, I don't like
Speaker 2: the name of that. I don't I don't think your
Speaker 2: father would like to Now, don't think anybody in the
Speaker 2: family would like to know that because he's stealing his
Speaker 2: she's stealing his ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what, I don't think this guy knows how
Speaker 3: family works. If he's getting mad that his relatives are
Speaker 3: using similar.
Speaker 2: Things, so he gets he gets mad at everything. Man,
Speaker 2: He's he's like the meanest godfather ever. That's when they
Speaker 2: say absolute power corrupts absolutely he Roman Reigns is being corrupted,
Speaker 2: and it's just being corrupted.
Speaker 3: He's like the brother that writes his name on all
Speaker 3: of his crap in the house. He's like, this is mine,
Speaker 3: this is mine, draws a line down the middle the
Speaker 3: room so that you know you can't cross it. I'm
Speaker 3: your brother, yeah, but this is mine. Don't wear my pants.
Speaker 3: Don't listen to my moment CDs.
Speaker 2: Roman Rains is the kind of guy that would create
Speaker 2: borders between states. That's the kind of guy. Roman Rains
Speaker 2: is not a good family team player. All right, it's
Speaker 2: time to talk celebrity fighting. This month's celebrity and Professional
Speaker 2: Wrestling is once again mister Bad Bunny versus mister Damien Priest.
Speaker 2: That used to be boys. The first time Bad Bunny
Speaker 2: joined WWE for a little thing against mis Damien Priest
Speaker 2: was his homie, Damien Priest. That was the debut of
Speaker 2: people learning. Damien Priest spoke fluent Spanish, and he did.
Speaker 2: He cut a promo in Spanish with Bad Bunny. Bad
Speaker 2: Bunny did very well in his match. Probably not as
Speaker 2: well as Logan Paul. I think most people would agree
Speaker 2: on that, but he did very well. You could tell
Speaker 2: he worked hard. And now he's back in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be insane. People are gonna go nuts.
Speaker 2: Damian Priest is a really solid wrestler, and I actually
Speaker 2: think this match is gonna be good. I'm not big
Speaker 2: on celebrities. Look, if I was into it, I would
Speaker 2: be in one, all right. I would have done it
Speaker 2: a million times. I'm not a big fan of it.
Speaker 2: The one little thing I did, I could tell the
Speaker 2: fans did not whant me is there. They were glad
Speaker 2: that I got checked up. So I don't think if
Speaker 2: it has any place. However, as times change, so do opinions.
Speaker 2: And I honestly think this is going to be a
Speaker 2: good match. You probably disagree completely, and you're probably right,
Speaker 2: But what do you think. I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a good match at all. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Bad Bunny is so stinking famous, one of the most
Speaker 3: famous people in modern times. I constantly talk about the
Speaker 3: time I saw him at the Lakers game and he
Speaker 3: got a bigger pop than Jack Nicholson, Like the place
Speaker 3: went crazy, and I was like, how how does it?
Speaker 3: Who is this bad Bunny guy? I just could I'm
Speaker 3: still in shock years later at his celebrity.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. He's bad. Dude's bad.
Speaker 3: He's not famous enough to have his own match in wrestling,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, because as far as like the wrestling part,
Speaker 3: like carrying a wrestling match.
Speaker 2: Bro, he's the baddest of all bunnies. What do you
Speaker 2: tell he's than Bugs Bunny?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wouldn't watch Bugs Bunny wrestling either. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I don't want to see it.
Speaker 3: Oh he was good in that one episode, and then
Speaker 3: Damian Priest isn't famous enough to like carry this match
Speaker 3: for me on the wrestling side. So it's kind of like,
Speaker 3: I just don't really, I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I get it, Bad Bunny's very famous, I get it.
Speaker 3: And then it's in Puerto Rico, so I get it.
Speaker 3: I get why they're doing it. I just don't think
Speaker 3: this will be a match that I'm gonna be You know,
Speaker 3: can Damian Priest make Bad Bunny look like a good
Speaker 3: wrestler in there? Is that? I mean?
Speaker 2: I feel like the mis makes everyone look great, right,
Speaker 2: So this is where you'll figure out if Bad Bunny
Speaker 2: can do it. I think they put them together because
Speaker 2: they have the relationship. So I feel like these guys
Speaker 2: have been working on this for a while now, and
Speaker 2: that's why I think it can be good. That said,
Speaker 2: who do you think is gonna win this match? That
Speaker 2: you don't want to watch Bunny. They're gonna let bad
Speaker 2: Buddy in his hometown is gonna beat Damian Priest. I'll
Speaker 2: go the other way. I don't or anything. It's just
Speaker 2: a straight fight, you know. I'm gonna say it's gonna
Speaker 2: be bad news for all the Puerto Ricans on the card.
Speaker 2: Zelina is gonna lose and Bad Bunny is gonna lose too,
Speaker 2: despite Ray trying to help out and and make the save.
Speaker 2: And I think Damian Priest will get the win because
Speaker 2: they're protecting the Judgment Day without giving them much story
Speaker 2: more than I've seen them protect anyone as far as
Speaker 2: like wins and loss. They had to give the one
Speaker 2: back to edge with Finn, but other than that, it's
Speaker 2: just win win win for the Judgment Day. I think
Speaker 2: they'll win again.
Speaker 3: You can't beat Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, yeah,
Speaker 3: they'll go nuts killed. Damian Priest was a soccer match.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ the Great. I've told the story when they
Speaker 3: were like throwing batteries at the bad guy when he
Speaker 3: won the match, Like granted, I was like a but still, man,
Speaker 3: it's hardcore pack.
Speaker 2: Things have gotten harder, not softer, We've got a triple
Speaker 2: threat with your guy, Bronson Reid, Bobby Lashley, and Austin Theory.
Speaker 2: I'm not too hyped about this match, but I love
Speaker 2: Bobby Lashley, I like Austin Theory, and I'm still I'm
Speaker 2: still watching Bronson Reid. I don't know if I like
Speaker 2: him yet or not. What about you? You probably excited him.
Speaker 2: You like Bronson, right? I love Bronson read it has
Speaker 2: to be cool, I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've never been a big United States Championship
Speaker 3: Belt guy, but I like all three of these guys,
Speaker 3: so I don't think it'll be a good, fun, fun match.
Speaker 2: I believe Austin Theory will win, is what I believe.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, and that will take us to
Speaker 2: Jeff's favorite match of the night and our final seth
Speaker 2: freaking rollins. I don't care what you dress up as.
Speaker 2: You could put the fruit thing on your head and
Speaker 2: come out and dance a samba because I think you're
Speaker 2: too good, So suck it. No matter how much you
Speaker 2: try to make me hate you. You come out with
Speaker 2: a French braid and I'd be like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I hated it, but it is the best French braid.
Speaker 2: I've ever seen so Seth Rollins versus your new faith
Speaker 2: o Mas, hopefully with mister MVP at his side for
Speaker 2: a little interference, you know, a little shadiness. Seth Rollins
Speaker 2: versus Omas seemed out of the blue, which honestly makes
Speaker 2: me think Seth might lose this match and put Omas
Speaker 2: over and get like a little injury in a little
Speaker 2: vacation time. I don't know how else to frame this match,
Speaker 2: at least in my head based on my experience. Otherwise,
Speaker 2: you're just like jobbing out Omas for no reason at all. Right,
Speaker 2: I get it, you know what I mean? Like you
Speaker 2: got to build him up to take him down, and
Speaker 2: they've only been taken him down lately. So I feel
Speaker 2: like Seth is gonna do business and eat a one
Speaker 2: two three now. I'm sure there'll be some MVP interference, right,
Speaker 2: some shadiness so that it's not just a clean wind.
Speaker 2: But what do you think? This is your guy? This
Speaker 2: is your guy and my guy with the bad wardrobe.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, this match had no business happening. It
Speaker 3: makes no sense, no lead up, no anything. And you
Speaker 3: can't keep having almost lose if you're building this guy
Speaker 3: as a giant and he's supposed to be like this,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe it's not like the future of wrestling,
Speaker 3: but a future star in wrestling.
Speaker 2: You can't keep having him lose.
Speaker 3: And so since there's no belt on the line, since
Speaker 3: there's really no stakes, since there's really no story, I
Speaker 3: think seth Rawlins loses here in any fashion that they
Speaker 3: can make it happen. However, they justify in the writer's room.
Speaker 3: I think seth Rawlins loses here. If seth Rawlins doesn't
Speaker 3: lose here and there's no belt, no story, no reason,
Speaker 3: no stakes, then that's insane and they're doing almost dirty
Speaker 3: in my opinion.
Speaker 2: So I think Almost wins. I'll be very happy.
Speaker 3: It'll be a very forgettable match for everyone. No one's
Speaker 3: you know, it's not like, you know, a year from now,
Speaker 3: they're gonna be but Almost beat seth Rawlins, Like I
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's gonna care, and I think it's a
Speaker 3: real kind of These are the type of matches I love,
Speaker 3: but not most of the wrestling fans and not most
Speaker 3: of the wrestling universe. So I think seth Rollins loses.
Speaker 3: I hope seth Rollins loses. I hope Amas does great.
Speaker 3: And if he doesn't, it'll be very confusing match for me.
Speaker 2: Jeff, do you know what time it is? I'm just
Speaker 2: waiting for the music. Let me cue it up real quick.
Speaker 2: I raised the budget so I got all these like
Speaker 2: voiced people doing all these great jingles for us. Let
Speaker 2: me find it here it is. It's Jeff das hoptag
Speaker 2: of the Wee. I love the Yeah the hot tag.
Speaker 2: This week there was an announcement.
Speaker 3: I don't know how long it's been circling around in
Speaker 3: the in the in the back rooms or the public square,
Speaker 3: but Vince McMahon and the wwe are being sued by
Speaker 3: a ex writer are a previous writer. I don't know
Speaker 3: how long she hasn't been in the writer's room. I
Speaker 3: don't even know if she was a real but she
Speaker 3: was in the writer's room and heard many many Allegedly,
Speaker 3: she heard many pitches that she found to be racially
Speaker 3: insensitive and offensive to her, and she didn't like the
Speaker 3: stereotypes that were being used, specifically racial stereotypes that were
Speaker 3: being pitched in the writer's room. When she went to
Speaker 3: complain about it, someone said to her, I feel there
Speaker 3: was another female in the office said it's the writer's room.
Speaker 3: That's what happens, the just pitching ideas and whatever. But
Speaker 3: then some other people have agreed with her and said, yeah,
Speaker 3: some of these ideas are.
Speaker 2: Ignorant and stupid.
Speaker 3: On one of the things that was used as an
Speaker 3: example in the filing was a wrestler was Indian descent.
Speaker 2: They pitched that he could be like part he was
Speaker 2: part of nine to eleven.
Speaker 3: When it happened, and they were like, Oh, that's you know,
Speaker 3: pretty insensitive and insane and racist. Here's the thing, it's WWE,
Speaker 3: it's pro wrestling, it's in that's like, that's like the
Speaker 3: kind of how it's always been. Like they need to
Speaker 3: have the freedom to talk about these ideas and just
Speaker 3: see and then and then smarter minds will prevail and go, hey,
Speaker 3: that's a stupid idea. We're not going to make a
Speaker 3: guy have a nine to eleven background, like, but the
Speaker 3: idea you shouldn't be able to sue them over. I'm
Speaker 3: annoyed of this because I'm a comedian and you got
Speaker 3: to take risks and it's about like, you know, trying something.
Speaker 3: So I'm very very annoyed about it, and wrestling as
Speaker 3: a long past of making insane television that we love.
Speaker 3: The best example I could come up with might not
Speaker 3: be the best example, but here it is. Sometimes you'll
Speaker 3: say to someone, oh, hey, you know you look like
Speaker 3: so and so, and they'll go, oh, just because I'm
Speaker 3: the same race, and you're like, if I thought you
Speaker 3: looked like someone, the odds are it would be someone
Speaker 3: of the same race.
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily like, no one's ever think Bruce Lee. No,
Speaker 2: that's the thing.
Speaker 3: No one's ever gone, Jeff, you look like Ben Affleck
Speaker 3: and I go, oh, cause we're both white. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's definitely gonna be a white person that you think
Speaker 3: I look like. All that being said, it's getting carried away.
Speaker 3: It's getting ridiculous. Nobody should be sued over pitching ideas,
Speaker 3: no matter how stupid.
Speaker 2: The ideas.
Speaker 3: Ideas start stupid sometimes and become great. Roddy Piper is
Speaker 3: not from Glasgow. He's from Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 2: Jeff, tell the people where you're gonna be this weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in La Joya, which is right next
