Speaker 2: it was a pretty eventful Christmas.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: What'd you do? We went to Hawaii. We'd go there

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: about twice a year. That's my favorite place in the

22
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: whole world. It's my kid's favorite place. In the whole world.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: It's my wife's favorite place in the whole world, minus

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: like going to like on a European vacation. We'd love

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: it there because it's warm and the water's warm, and

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: we have friends who live there, a lot of them,

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: And so we got to spend Christmas Eve with our

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: dear friends. One of them is a chef, so you know,

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the dinner was popping. Then we got to see some

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: other friends of ours that live more inland. I don't

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: want to say where we were at in Hawaii. I

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: just know we were in Hawaii and it was dope.

33
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I went canoeing in the ocean and then went for

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: a nice and saw some manta rays in the daytime,

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: which doesn't happen a lot. And they were at like

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: this their cleaning station, which is just you know, an

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: area where they go and like clean themselves. They called

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: a cleaning station. And we saw eagle rays and swam

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: with those fools. They kind of looked like flat penguins.

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: We saw eels and turtles, tortugas, we saw everything man

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: and we brought this family out there that had never

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: been and the daughter was super scared. She was the youngest,

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: her older brother just popped right in. She was super

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: nervous and she didn't want to get out by the

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: time it was over. Like she loved the water. She

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: became a fish. She was like, mom, I'm a mermaid.

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm a mermaid, and everyone's like, yeah, you're a mermaid.

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: She got to see all these crazy creatures from the sea.

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: She tried new foods for the first time, sushi and

50
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of yummy food because Uncle Freddy made it

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: cool and fun, so she tried everything, even stuff she

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: didn't like. Got some smooches with the wife on New

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Year's which is always a good thing. Danced with my daughter,

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: which is always fun because she's getting older, you know.

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: And I was hoping that's still be cool and not

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: laying and I was still cool, so that was good.

57
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: And I watched a little bit of wrestling while I

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: was out there, and then caught all up when I

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: got back. Had at one hell of a flight home,

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: but Henry Winkler was on the airplane, so I knew

61
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: we were gonna land safely because he's like the nicest

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: dude in the world. And if you killed Henry Winkler, god,

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: you're a son of a bitch, so he didn't. He's

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: a good god, and we landed safely. Yeah. Man, I'm

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: ready for a beautiful day here in southern California, a

66
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: little break from the rain. I think it's going to

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: come back tomorrow. But while we talk wrestling, it's sunny

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: skies and I'm feeling good. I'm really happy that every

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: year you do well, not even every year, you quite

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: often feed the homeless and do good things. And I'm

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: always glad to hear that, and I like that you

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: share that with our listeners too.

73
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna ask you what it's like to

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: travel on the holidays. To make Hawaii's a long trip.

75
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: It's a five hour flight. It's quicker coming home, but

76
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: when you land it's two hours earlier, so you don't

77
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: feel like you lost a whole day. And oh, dude,

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I learned this game called Mexican Train. Have you ever

79
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: played Mexican Train? No, it's a board game or something.

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: It's a domino game, okay, and it's tons of fun.

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people listening right now that all

82
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: just yelled Mexican Trade because they love this game. And no,

83
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: apparently I was one of the last people. It's been

84
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: around a long time. I sat down and played with

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: my kids and the people who came with us, and

86
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: we had an absolute blast playing that game. So I'm

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: not they're not paying me to tell you this. I

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't get a free one. But you guys can go

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: on whatever shopping website you go on, search Mexican Train.

90
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: It's not racist. It's called Mexican Train by this game.

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: It's not sexual or racist. Sounds like it's just an

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: awesome domino game. I think you guys will all love it.

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: That was also what I did over the holiday weekend.

94
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: All right, dude, you know what wrestlers do over the holiday, Jeff,

95
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: It's travel, workout, That's right, and they wrestle and they

96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: work and they cut promos because they don't get any

97
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: days off. Let's talk some Monday Night Raw came on

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida,

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: the final raw of twenty twenty five. It was built

100
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: our producer wrote this. It was built around steaks, but

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: not steaks like steak and lobster, which is always delicious.

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: Steaks like high stakes, like high stakes gambling, like Dana

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: White does with Blackjack because he's fearless and rich. But

104
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: this closed the year with a title change. They sort

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: of recentered the Top Heel faction and they started laying

106
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: down some tracks for the Raw Stranger Things episode on

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: January fifth, which I don't know how they're gonna pull

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: that one out. Yeah, can we talk about that for

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: a second. Yeah, Okay, let's do because I don't think

110
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna work in any way, shape or for me.

111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: People listening, they're theming the whole night as like a

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Stranger Things episode of Raw, to which you know, I'm

114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: a very reasonable and good man. I'm a good man.

115
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: God loves me and shows me favor. I'm a gentleman,

116
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: and so I'll say, respectfully.

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing? Freddie? Most

118
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: people just want to watch wrestling.

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: When we see a wrestler come out and he's themed

120
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: like a video game or something, wearing like a thing

121
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: or a tribute to some sort of Marvel comic that

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: came out that week, I roll my eyes.

123
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: And that's just one match.

124
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: That's just one, you know, like tag match where they

125
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: got paid by a online video game to dress the

126
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: Montese Ford up like Borderlands or whatever the thing is.

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna make a whole episode based on a show

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: that most people don't give a shit about, like this

129
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: is gonna be.

130
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna pull this off. What

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: do you think? I have no idea how they're gonna

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: pull this off. I'll be real with you. I don't

133
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: really watch television that much. I've never seen stranger things.

134
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I watch UFC, I watch football, I watch live sports basically,

135
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: and professional wrestling and movies. I love going to the

136
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: movies and Netflix. Some of us still like going to

137
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: the movies. But yeah, I have no idea how they're

138
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: pulling this off. I just want to be able to

139
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: watch wrestling on their app a few minutes late and

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: not have to and be able to start it from

141
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: the beginning. Like you can't even do that yet. You

142
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: have to just wait until the show's over and then

143
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: you can watch it again. You were saying before the

144
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: show started, wrestling so hard to watch it? Now, get Yeah,

145
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it is maybe not for young people who are sick

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: with apps, but for maybe us older gentlemen or middle

147
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: aged gentlemen. It's a little tricky, all right, So give

148
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: us a fucking break and help us watch some goddamn wrestling.

149
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: But I don't know, like that, maybe even young people

150
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: are having trouble finding it because it's so hard to

151
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: find that. Like I'm talking about like young young kids

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: like ten years old or eight years old like that.

153
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: They're not real tech savvy necessarily when it's jumping to

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: different things or having a VPN. They don't have to

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: do any of that stuff. So it's very frustrating. I

156
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: was saying with that our producer, like remember when they

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: had the Gobbledy Googer, the big the big chicken that

158
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: came out, Like do you think it's gonna be like that?

159
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm the Demni gorg and then.

160
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: They take the head off and it's it's Hall of

161
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Famer Pete Rose Rest in peace, you know, Like who's

162
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: gonna what are we doing?

163
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: What what is gonna be? I'm gonna keep an open mind, okay,

164
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: because I love wrestling, so I'm gonna keep an open mind.

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: However, I have no idea how to pull it off.

166
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: You want to talk cash grab, That's what this is.

167
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: This is a cash grab. Them just being like no, no,

168
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: because they're on the same they're on the same network.

169
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: So I don't think they're getting extra cash from Netflix.

170
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: It's just like, YO, hook us up the same way

171
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: like they ask us on Michael Tura or they've asked

172
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: me to like do like another podcast within the network, right,

173
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: But I don't get paid for that.

174
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm just like showing love and and putting other people over,

175
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: so to speak. And they're putting me over on their pet.

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: But it's part of that big deal they signed, you know,

177
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: They're like, Hey, for sure, I'm not a big deal,

178
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have to do dumb shit like pretend

179
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: one of the wrestlers is a Demi gorg Is that

180
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: what Stranger Things is? It's like there's a monster like

181
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: dungeons and dragons, big flower headed thing looks like you.

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I've never I've never seen it. Yeah.

183
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: I think you're really not gonna enjoy the episode if

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: you're not even any getting.

185
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: All right, you guys, go grab a snack or don't

186
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: take a pee instead and come right back. All right?

187
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: So we agree on the Stranger Things episode, we're keeping

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: an open mind. But what the hell? But a lot

189
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: did happen the ussos. They got rid of any doubt

190
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: of you know them falling apart, they pulled it together.

191
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: Their twins are back and they are now the World

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Tag Team Champions once again, and rightfully so. It was

193
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I like the solo runs for both of them. I

194
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: liked where Jimmy was injured at most of his, but

195
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: I liked what they did with Jay. But these gentlemen

196
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: belong together. I'm glad to see them back together. It

197
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: brings a lot of good tag matches back. It puts

198
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: good promos now in the tag matches because both of

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: them can talk in way different ways, which is kind

200
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: of cool, even though they're twins. I just their personalities

201
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: are night and day. So I think that's good for

202
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: the tag team division. We recentered the vision, Jeff. We

203
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: got Logan, Paul and Austin Theory in there now and

204
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Paul Hayman cut a wicked promo about how great they're

205
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: going to be and they're not just the future, they're

206
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: they're now. A lot of stuff happened in the women's division.

207
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: We'll get into that too, and we're going to get

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,479
Speaker 1: into it all right now. First off, Paul Hayman reintroduced

209
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: the vision. That's Broun Breaker, one of Jeff's favorites, and

210
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: he was early on Braun Bronson Reid one of Jeff's favorites,

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: and he was earlier on Bronson than he was even

212
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: on Broun. Logan, Paul, who you've I feel like you've

213
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: always been supportive of it, You've always dug his matches.

214
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: Yet and now Austin theory who this will be the one?

215
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: This will be the test to see if this dude

216
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: can make He's gotten opportunities before. The crowd didn't seem

217
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: to like it the way they hated when Vince put

218
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: his arm around Roman Reigns, and I was like, this

219
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: is the guy they hated Roman Reigns. It wasn't until

220
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: he earned it in the fans' eyes, and then they

221
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: got behind him and made him, you know, the second

222
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, I guess, and seen as the

223
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: greatest of all time. But this is his opportunity they've

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: given him. Paul Hayman, who cannot only speak for him

225
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: now when need be, can also teach and groom and

226
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: instruct him on how to construct the type of promos

227
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: that people want to see and hear, and how to

228
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: tell the right story that's going to build into your

229
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: match and how to build up to these matches, the

230
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: storylines behind them. You know, Hayman's back there helping these cats,

231
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, write their stories in the writer's room and

232
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: helping these cats, you know, give notes to the writers

233
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: if they don't like something like that. That's what That's

234
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: what this man's doing back there, is helping talent. So

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: this will be his chance to get over. I'm excited

236
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: to see it. I like Austin Theory. He's a good

237
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: looking dude. He's got the body. I like the body guys.

238
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: I like ravishing Rick Rude. I thought he was the

239
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: best body guy ever. Austin Theory's biceps are freaking jack.

240
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: He's super jack. He just needs some grooming on the microphone.

241
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: He needs a little help there, and I think they

242
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: got the right guy to do it. What about you,

243
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: how did you feel about the segment, sir? And what

244
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on mister Theory.

245
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: I love the vision, like you said, I love all

246
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 2: those guys and leave it to Paul Hayman to create

247
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: this great stable of bad guys who is just all

248
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: the future of the business. What I will say about

249
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: this storyline with Austin Theory is with the mask and

250
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: then him revealing himself and saying that he wanted to

251
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: prove himself before anyone knew who he was. And then

252
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: he's also like a little jack, like a little stronger

253
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: than before, like at least he appears to be. I

254
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: don't know if they've done this a lot, and I'm

255
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: just unaware of it. But in the olden days, you know,

256
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: if you're an evil dentist named Isaac yankm and the

257
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: gimmick just isn't over, Vince and the team Bruce, all

258
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: those guys, they would kind of try to find something

259
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: that works for you and then reintroduce you as like

260
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: this whole new person. And now you're supposed to forget

261
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: about Isaac gyancom Now you're supposed to be like, no,

262
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: that's the second Undertaker, or that's Kane, his little brother.

263
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: And they were always like repitching or repackaging the same

264
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: guy as a totally different guy. Whereas this story is Listen,

265
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: i was austin theory and I was a little comfortable,

266
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: and now I'm reinventing myself. Not wrestling, not TRIPLEH, not Vince.

267
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm reinventing myself and I'm gonna prove it to Paul.

268
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna prove it to the universe that I got

269
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: too comfy and I'm coming out and I'm a new guy.

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: And I don't know if they've done that before, but

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: it's making me believe in Austin theory that I'm like, yes, yes,

272
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: go out there, and like, go out and get it

273
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: and work, you know. I feel that in comedy, like

274
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna prove myself, and so like them showing us

275
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Austin trying to reinvent himself and prove himself makes it

276
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: compelling to me. And then you put him in a

277
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: stable with my favorite guys and my favorite all time

278
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: guy on the mic, Paul Hayman. I think we've got

279
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: a good recipe for success.

280
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I love that if he can prove it to Hayman,

281
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: he can prove it to everybody.

282
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: That's a cool story. I keep waiting for them to

283
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: turn on somebody. That's what I keep I can't believe it.

284
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: As they're gonna punk. They're gonna punk somebody out for sure.

285
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: Eventually it'll be if someone's not working, or if they

286
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: can just come up with a cool story that makes

287
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: it that way, then then they'll do that, but yeah,

288
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna get points. Speaking of Punk didn't even mean

289
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: to do that. He crashed the ceremony. Bro did a

290
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: little face to face with bron Breaker and he framed

291
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: this week's World Heavyweight title and it was a test

292
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: of readiness versus hunger, and Punk was very subtle. He

293
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: knows bron Breaker's ready, but Punk isn't ready to let

294
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: go of the World Heavyweight Championship.

295
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I said this a long time ago

296
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I'm not betting against the mpunk, But man,

297
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: have they set this up to bet against the mpunk.

298
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: They have made They have made people believe that bron

299
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: Breaker is going to win this thing, that he is

300
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: already going to be the World heavyweight Champion, long before

301
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: anybody originally thought he would, long before the Seth Rollins injury,

302
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: and now the belts on Punk. And this is why

303
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: if you want to bet against him, you should because

304
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: it could be a placeholder because of the Rollins injury.

305
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: This was I think, even initially is the right word

306
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: going to be bron Breaker taking on Seth Rawlins for

307
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Championship by turning on Seth the way

308
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: the Judgment Day turned on edge back in the day,

309
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: Back in the day, it wasn't that long ago. I

310
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: think that was the original story with Braun, and then

311
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Seth gets hurt, which friggin sucks balls, and bron Breaker

312
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: now doesn't have that guy to go after, so enter

313
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: CM Punk. He gets the world heavyweight championship. That's a

314
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: great moment. This could mean they're gonna put it on

315
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Braun so that when Seth comes back, they get that

316
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: story that they originally had planned, only now the shoes

317
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: on the other foot, with Braun as the champion and

318
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Seth is the one chasing. He's not even allowed back

319
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: into the vision because they're like, yo, we don't need you.

320
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: We got Hayman where the bomb. You're not deal with it.

321
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to bet against them Punk, now

322
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: would be the time. But I'm telling you right now,

323
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm not betting against CM Punk. I don't think that

324
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: dude likes losing world titles, and I don't think he

325
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: wants to lose it just yet. What were your thoughts

326
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: on how this all went down and where it's gonna go.

327
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't know where it's gonna go. I'm always famously

328
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: bad at predicting this stuff. But I think I like

329
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: CM punk when he's chippy. I like him when he's

330
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: pissed off back there, when he's a guy, he's starting little,

331
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: always making jabs because he's and I feel like we

332
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: only get that cmpunk when he's not the guy. When

333
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: he's the guy, he's all of a sudden, mister corporate oh,

334
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: shaking Triple H's hand and hugging guys and saying, you know,

335
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: like he's always he's see him pop right now, you know,

336
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: you see him popular, you know, and he loves it.

337
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: He gets to be the guy. And I've got the.

338
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 2: AJ Lee's my wife, and we say what's right, and

339
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: we wear rainbow boots and we talk about you know,

340
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: political issue.

341
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: We're such good people. It's like, I want punk.

342
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: I want see them punk, the guy who's I want

343
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: pipe bomb punk. I want choking Jack Perry punk. And

344
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: so maybe we take the strap off of him, put

345
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: it on bron Breaker, and we get that chippy, edgy

346
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: chasing a championship punk back. And That's what I'm hoping

347
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: for because I love bron Breaker. I've also never seen

348
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: a wrestler push this the narrative of I'm tired of

349
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: you guys all calling me the future. I'm the now,

350
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: which is a great line and a great thing. But

351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: also to complain that everyone believes in you as the future.

352
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: Such a good twist for a bad guy.

353
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: Oh, dare you say I'm the man? You son of

354
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: a bitchy hunch right in the face if you ever

355
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: call me a Hall of Famer again.

356
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: Oh also, maybe if anybody from wrestling's listening, which I

357
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: feel like they always are, when is some wrestler going

358
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: to acknowledge that every wrestler is fighting for their family?

359
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: So like when See Them, Punk was like talking trash

360
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: about bron Breaker's dad and uncle, which of the Steiner brothers.

361
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: Then the next week bron came out and was like,

362
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: don't you ever talk about my family?

363
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Right?

364
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: But then like see Them, Punk is like, don't you

365
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: talk about my beautiful wife? And then you have Becky

366
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: lynchko don't talk about my hot husband, and Tiffy Time

367
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: saying don't talk you know or don't bring up Ludwig

368
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: Kaiser in your DMS, and then Charlotte going, don't talk

369
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: about my ex husbands, and then Nikki Bella going, don't

370
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: bring up John Cena. It's like, listen, you all have

371
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: families in this thing, so like they should acknowledge, like

372
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: someone should say, listen, this ain't personal. We all have families,

373
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: we're all fighting for them, like because they use it

374
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: so much as like an annoying storyline that it's like

375
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: someone should acknowledge the like we know we're all bringing

376
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: up family. I don't know, just I don't know if

377
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: that makes any sense, but it's annoying, annoying.

378
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with you, all right, you guys.

379
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: The Women's World Championship Stephanie Baker, which now this was

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: an easy one to pick. She wasn't gonna lose. They

381
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: put the belt on her for a specific reason, which

382
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: we've gotten into. They're not taking it off for yet,

383
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: no way, no day. But she wrestled against Nicki Bella

384
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: and Roquel Rodriguez. She won that shit. I don't know

385
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: what people want out of Nickibella, but I think she's

386
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: doing what she wants to do and what the company

387
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: wants her to do as well. I don't think she's

388
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: there to win championships this run. I don't think she

389
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: should be there to win championships this run. She looks fantastic.

390
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: She's now she's got the rust off from that first

391
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: match that she had with I think it was Becky Lynch.

392
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: The timing was better. But if she's there to win championships,

393
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that's that's good. I think she's there

394
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: to put over other talent and look great while she's

395
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: doing it. So I know there's some people online that

396
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: are like, well, why she there if she's not gonna win,

397
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: She's just gonna job. I think the older wrestlers are

398
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: there and their responsibility is to put the new people

399
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: over and give them an opportunity to become stars and

400
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: give them some credibility by beating them. So I was

401
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: glad Stephanie Vicaer won and I like Nikki a lot,

402
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: But I don't think she's there to win championships to

403
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: be to be the women's world champion. No way, dude,

404
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: no way. If she was, then Becky Lynch wouldn't be

405
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: losing to Maxine Dupree like this, straight up, like there's

406
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: no reason for Becky Becky Lynch. It didn't even come back.

407
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: She's been there and she's losing to young people. So

408
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: so yeah, everybody should be following that Becky Lynch move

409
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: and doing this. That's what I felt about it, Jeff,

410
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: what about you.

411
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: Nicky Bella has never looked better. She is in fantastic shape,

412
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: she looks straight up, very very impressive. She's somehow aging

413
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: in reverse, She's she's whatever. But I am so out

414
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: on this version of Nicky Bella, the coming out and

415
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: trying to be like I am the best there ever

416
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: was and you guys need to respect me. I don't

417
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: buy it. I don't like it. It's it's very I

418
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: think they tried to push it on us too quick,

419
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: like oh, she turned on her already and like then,

420
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: Like I just I don't really buy her as like

421
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: a mean girl like that. It just feels very one dimensional.

422
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: I'm out on this whole new, this whole new version

423
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: of Nicky Bella. And unless they really changed something up soon,

424
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: I think it's all garbage.

425
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: So I hope she keeps losing. Becky Lynch of Maxine Dupre,

426
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: which I think is a superior story to the one

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: we were just discussing. Becky's really pushed this off camera

428
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: as well through social media, really given herself a ton

429
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: of motivation as to why she hates Maxine and to

430
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: how she didn't tap and all this, not all of

431
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: it worked, but she's committed to the gimmick, so I

432
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: respect that. As she finally had her moment with Maxine

433
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: in the ring where she's like, look, you're bullshit, I'm

434
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the real deal and we're going to prove it and

435
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: everybody's going to see that you're just a little punk

436
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: ass yauch and Maxine Depre wasn't having it. Becky walks

437
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: out the ring, She's like, you'll see and by the

438
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: time this episode comes out, will either be crowning a

439
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: new champion. No, we won't, or Maxine will be continuing

440
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: to be the world champion and be put on that

441
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: pedestal that Becky has placed her on. That's what's going

442
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: to happen. But I like this one, whereas I didn't

443
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: really I'm like you, I haven't cared for. I feel

444
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: like everything's been rushed with Nikki and what you don't

445
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: need to And I also think she should have come

446
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: in and stayed babyface and allowed people to celebrate her

447
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: instead of being heal and demanding to be celebrated. Like

448
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: everybody's like, girl, you look gray, you look better like

449
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: every wrestler, every podcaster, like, everybody's throwing flowers at her,

450
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: and she's like, you know, show me some respect. We're like, no,

451
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: we are. Everybody really thinks you're cool, so just be cool.

452
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: The gunther, you know, goother just beat her guy. And

453
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: now she's coming out and kind of acting like gnther

454
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: standing on the table and going respect me, and everyone's like,

455
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: where did this come from?

456
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with you? Like it feels

457
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: very weird. Yeah, and people didn't like heal John Cena,

458
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're gonna go for heal Nikki Bella.

459
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: I think we want to see her as a babyface. Now.

460
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how they get there, but you know,

461
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: she's putting people over and making them look good. So

462
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: respect all right. So we got we got that one.

463
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: We got the USOS and they deep defeated AJ Styles

464
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: and Dragon Lee. And I'm only bringing this match up

465
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: because it's now time to figure out what happens with

466
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: AJ Styles and the end of his career and what

467
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: he's going to do with it. And there's been a

468
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: lot of hinting that this would be the final year. Well,

469
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: step one was to get the tag team titles off

470
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: of him. Step two is to split up him and

471
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: dragon Ly, and I think they'll have an amicable split,

472
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: meaning it'll be nice and they'll be like, hey man,

473
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: we did our best. I always got your back. Yeah

474
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: me too, brother, right on. I hope they resign you.

475
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah me too. That'll be the promo written word for word.

476
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: It should be. They should talk about real stuff, even

477
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: though they won't. And then AJ can move on as singles.

478
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: And I guess the place that you take him, if

479
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: it's sooner rather than later, is gnther and you give

480
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: them a couple matches where AJ almost gets the first one,

481
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: but Gunther does something shady when the ref can't see

482
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: it and everyone's like, oh, if only AJ would have

483
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: got it, and then in the next match, Gunther can

484
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: beat him and send him off, and then AJ retires.

485
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: But I think that's too quick, So I don't know.

486
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the story they're gonna give him,

487
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: because I feel like they respect AJ enough to give

488
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: him the quality storyline that he deserves on a top tier,

489
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: not a mid card goodbye. I don't think that's a

490
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: proper goodbye for AJ styles. He should be on the

491
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: top shelf where the good liquor is, where you want

492
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: your cocktails mixed from. You don't want that BS bottom

493
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: sheelf well vodka and your martine. You want some good shit.

494
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what AJ styles is. So I'm

495
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing what they're doing. They could do

496
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: the Guntu thing and spread it out. I don't I

497
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: don't quite know how, but they're better at that shit

498
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: than I am. So yeah, So that's what I think

499
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: about it, Jeff, I like it. I agree. I agree

500
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: with Freddie. Ha ha. See whether you agree or not,

501
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: already got one. All right, people, let's move on to

502
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: smack Down. But bu bu bu bup. Before we do,

503
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: let's pay some bills. You guys can go grab a

504
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: snack or get super mad and write us about how

505
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: there's too many commercials. We'll take it either way. See

506
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: you in a second. Welcome back to Wrestling with Friends,

507
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: Wrestling with Freddie. There'll be no Thursday episode because we're

508
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: giving you a nice, long, lengthy, full episode that'll get

509
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: all of your juice is flowing. Your wrestling juice is flowing,

510
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: and we're talking WWE SmackDown. January second, twenty twenty six

511
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: from the Key Bank Center in Buffalo, New York. So

512
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: you know it was as cold as a witch's titty.

513
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: That's what my grandpa used to say. He was from

514
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: West Virginia. He'd say that that man's hard as hickory

515
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: would that's as cold as our slick at snot. He

516
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: used to say, that's the slickest snot. Freddy, be careful,

517
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. First SmackDown of twenty twenty

518
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: six returned to a three hour format because USA doesn't

519
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: have much quality programming and really needed the other hour. Also,

520
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: YouTube TV makes it really difficult to watch these things. Again,

521
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm bitching about technology, but I'm about to go back

522
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: to direct TV, where life was simpler. Anyway, we saw

523
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Randy Orton's surprise re entry into wrestling, just chilling in

524
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: a T shirt, looking about three hundred pounds of jack muscle.

525
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: He's bigger than he's ever been in his life. The

526
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: dude's an absolute statue. Trick Williams from NXT stepping onto

527
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: the main roster and clashing with my secret Royal Rumble

528
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: winning pick Sammy Zain. We'll cut up promo talking about well,

529
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: we can get into that in a second, Julia who

530
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: spells her name interestingly. She reclaimed the women's US title

531
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: and Carmelo Hayes got his first defense. I love Carmelo

532
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: Hayes as a US champion. By the way, it took

533
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: a long time, but that's okay. He went through a

534
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: lot of trials and tribulations along that path, so it

535
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: feels like he's really earned it. I love that. And

536
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: we got a brutal ambulance match between Damian Priest, who's

537
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: been real quiet in the wrestling scene. There has been

538
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: a lot of story for Damian Priest. We haven't talked

539
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: about him much. But he threw Alistair Black off an ambulance,

540
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: threw a table and then threw him into the ambulance

541
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: and he looked like a stud. And then Drew mackin

542
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: tire taunted Cody Rhodes by burning a photo. Not the

543
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: best taunt, Jeff. But we're gonna get into all of it,

544
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: right friggin now, all right? First, the Return of Randy.

545
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: Chapter one. The Return of Randy. It SmackDown open with

546
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: the mis hijacking the show to unload his twenty twenty

547
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: five grievances, much like I should have done at the

548
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: top of this show, unloaded all my wrestling grievances on

549
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: y'all Sina's retirement tour that sucked, locker room disrespect, f

550
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: you guys. You guys are gonna call me tidy and

551
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: say I got no balls, fuck you too. All of

552
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: a sudden, Randy Orton's music hits Boomy comes out to

553
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: the stage looking humongous. He r kaotim twice. Got everybody

554
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: feeling good and the show got to start over with

555
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: a positive feeling. And then backstage he runs into Cody

556
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Rhods and he's like, yo, man, you know I love

557
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: you even though you had a weird mustache when you

558
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: were dashing. Cody Rhods, I think you're super cool. But

559
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: you have gold and I got a chance to beat

560
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: all the records because I'm still young enough to do it,

561
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: and I'm coming after that belt. And he could end

562
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: up being the one with the most title reigns, even

563
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: more than John Cena, even more than Rick Flair. I

564
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: don't know, it could happen. He's still young enough, he's healthy.

565
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Don't know. Well. Cody was like, yo, man, I feel you,

566
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: but you know he's looking at him like I'm the

567
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: man now you're not the man, You're the old man.

568
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, Jeff, Randy Orton's back, and I'm feeling good.

569
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: How about you, sir. I'm very excited about it.

570
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: Randy Orton is one of those dudes where, you know,

571
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: how they did this big hole retirement thing for John Cena.

572
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: I feel like they should have that. This is the

573
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: guy that should have gotten all that. You know, his

574
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: dad was a wrestler. He was you know, he's been

575
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: in there forever. Randy Orton is a huge part of wrestling.

576
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: I feel like he gets forgot about for months at

577
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: a time, you know, especially at this point in his career,

578
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: Like people are like, I go like, why isn't he

579
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: wearing the belt instead of seeing why isn't he the

580
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: top one of them? In my opinion, big big fan.

581
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: I've liked him almost, you know ever ever since he

582
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: broke Freddie Prince Junior's back on that one episode. I

583
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: uh fuck, is that That's the only time I didn't

584
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: like it? No, but it's always good to see him

585
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: come back. It seems strange how many times we are like, oh,

586
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: Randy Orton's back. It seems like a weird thing that

587
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: to be feeling for it is like a guy that big,

588
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: but I'm happy to see him, so I'm excited about it.

589
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see where it goes.

590
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: Next step friend of the show and a buddy of mine,

591
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: mister Matt Cardona. Yeah, mister Zach Ryder himself formerly known

592
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: as Zach Rder FKA, reintroduced himself with a decisive rough

593
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: rider over Kid Wilson and a quick reboot that telegraphs

594
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: Cardona as a utility player who can plug into mid

595
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: card stories immediately. Our producer Alex wrote that, and I

596
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: have to say it's a very accurate and kind of

597
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: awesome way to discuss Cardona, because I don't think Triple

598
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: H is putting the World Heavyweight Championship around Matt's waste.

599
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's thinking that. But I've always wondered

600
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: why the hell Matt's not on the friggin' roster because

601
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: what he was doing in the indies was awesome, awesome

602
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: and a ton of fun, and the way he developed

603
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: his character was awesome awesome. I'll say it again, And

604
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, when are they resigning this guy?

605
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: What's up? Aw Like, sign this dude, Matt didn't think

606
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: that AW had a ton of love for him and

607
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: for his style, so I'm like, well, then WW has

608
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: to And then I was like, Okay, I guess they're

609
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: all about NXT. So that's that's what it is, and

610
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: that's true. But they brought Matt back, and I think

611
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: they brought him back to build him up real quick,

612
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: put him in these like US and Intercontinental type mixes,

613
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: and then put the young guy over and make the

614
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: young guy look great so that they can see if

615
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: they have something in this. You know, young raw talent,

616
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: and you can make a ton of money doing that,

617
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: and you can be on the roster for years and

618
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: years doing that. The Miss didn't win a single match

619
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, not a single match, and the

620
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Miss is getting paid in the shade because he could

621
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: talk his ass off and he makes people look great

622
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: when he loses. So I see a similar path for

623
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: Mac Cardona. If he's down for that, he'd beat Kit

624
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: Wilson's ass. So suck on that, Kit Wilson. I don't know,

625
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably more more of a Cardona guy than most people,

626
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: but I just liked the dude and I was glad

627
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: to see him back. I don't know if you had

628
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: any thoughts on him or not, but I just wanted

629
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: to throw that in there.

630
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: I think he's awesome. I think he's great, and I'd

631
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: like to see him, you know. I was just given

632
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: that thing about Austin Theory reinventing himself and that was

633
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: part of the storyline, whereas mac Crodona had to go

634
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: reinvent himself on the indies, and he took responsibility and said, hey, listen,

635
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: they people are just going to think of me as

636
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: this guy who was once in wrestling who now has

637
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: like a podcast about toys, and I don't want to.

638
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Be that guy.

639
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to sit at tables and sign eight

640
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: by tens about when I was in wrestling. And I

641
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: think a lot of wrestling fans thought of him that way.

642
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: Oh that's Zach Ryder. That's weird.

643
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: Where he was like, no, I'm still I still got it.

644
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: I can still do this, and he proved it, like

645
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: helling out and working on all these things, and now

646
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: wrestling brought him back. And maybe maybe guys like Freddi,

647
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: Prince Junior, or maybe you guys listening might think see

648
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: him as somebody is like, well, you know, he can

649
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: be putting these mid card things, and he can put

650
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: young guys over the way Miz is doing. But just

651
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: maybe Matt Cordona in his brain is going Nope, I

652
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: can still be stone cold Steve Austin. I can reinvent

653
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: myself even more to be the star. You don't put

654
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: me in a feud with La Knight. We go back

655
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: and forth kind of similar guys, and like maybe I

656
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: could win over and audience love that. Maybe sky's the

657
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: limit for mac cornor maybe we go holy crap, like

658
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: this is this is this is the dude. So I'm

659
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: very very optimistic about what he can do because he's

660
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: kind of proved himself in a way that I haven't

661
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: seen any other wrestlers ever do on the indies. Making

662
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: yourself King of the Indies. What a cool ass title, Like,

663
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: what a cool way to make the Indies sound like

664
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: one group, Like just to make everything that he won't

665
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: to be like, well, I'm the king of that, and

666
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: that sounds way cooler than being the King of wwe

667
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: to be like these gritty indies shows. I'm a house guy,

668
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: like just to own it. I'm really impressed with what

669
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: he did and I'd like to see him, you know,

670
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: become become a main main guy in WB.

671
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: What's cooler King of the Indies or King of the Ring.

672
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: King of the Indies one hundred percent. Yeah, way, King

673
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: of the Rings, Whack bro King of the Indies as

674
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: cool as shit. King of the Rings. But it's like

675
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: kind of just one annual thing. It ain't even a

676
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: pay per view because it's not even cool enough to

677
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: be a pay per view. It was on regular TV

678
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: every single time it was on. Yeah, King of the

679
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: Rings Whack Xavier Woods was a cool king, but other

680
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: than that, William RingGo was a cool king Macho. Other

681
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: than that, they all look goofy with Oh macho King

682
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: was cool, but most of them look goofy with the crowd. Man,

683
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: it just doesn't play. Dude, all right, I've talked about

684
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain twelve years. It's been start stop with this dude.

685
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: I think it's finally time to get him the run.

686
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: And I said this royal rumble Victor Sammy's Ain, Mark

687
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: my words, it's gonna happen. Carmelo Hayes bea Johnny Gargano.

688
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: The only reason I'm bringing this up is because Tomaso

689
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: Champa says he's leaving WWE when his contracts up. I

690
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know what that's gonna mean for Gargano. I know

691
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: they gave him a single shot when he first got

692
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: pulled up from an XT triple H gave him a shot,

693
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: so maybe they got they can, you know, re emphasize

694
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: that plan. But sometimes when your tagting partner leaves, you're

695
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: you're kind of lost, and you're like Captain America and

696
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: that comic book man without a country when all the

697
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: wars are fought, and what what good are you now?

698
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: So that that can happen too, So I'm a little

699
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: worried there. I like Johnny. I think he's really good

700
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: in there. I think he puts guys over well. I

701
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: think he plays the small guy role really well and

702
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: doesn't try to wrestle like a big dude. He wrestles

703
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: like a small dude who can just take a good

704
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: beating and he uses technique to get out of it.

705
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: So I hope that that things go well for him.

706
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it looks like Champa's gonna gonna take off

707
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: at the end of this. Jeff, what do you think

708
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: about all that? I love Samy's aying.

709
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: I just don't know if that's I don't know if

710
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: what you think is gonna happen is.

711
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: Really gonna happen. It's gonna happen, it's gonna.

712
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's been now long, what twelve years, tween years,

713
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: twelve years, yeah, twelve, So I'm interested. I see I

714
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: see a bright future for Trick Williams. I like Trick Williams.

715
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I come on, man, he can't put

716
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: over Trick. He can't put over I'll be so mad

717
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: if he puts over. Look, I know he had a

718
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: man bunning that backstage segment, but you can't judge him

719
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: on that. I can't judge him on that.

720
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: I think he's there to put over Trick Willims, kind

721
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: of the way you were talking about sammy' zane or

722
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: Matt Cordona like. So, I think that's what I'm predicting.

723
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: But we'll see. As the young kids say, you yucked,

724
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: my young I didn't mean to, well you did, all right,

725
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: we have the three stages of hell. Drew McIntyre revealed

726
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: the stipulations for the match, first as a singles match,

727
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: so he can just prove to Cody that he's the

728
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: superior wrestler burn in your face. Second is falls count anywhere.

729
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: So he's gonna give Cody anything he wants to use

730
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: because that's how much more superior he is than him,

731
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna beat his ass and he's gonna beat

732
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: him there, so he won't even need the third stipulation.

733
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: But just in case some shenanigan's happened, because Drew's always

734
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: getting screwed over. According to Drew, even though he's kind

735
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: of right, the final match is a steel cage, an

736
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: old school one. It's gonna be you know, the toughest

737
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: dude in there is gonna is gonna win the match.

738
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. They're always thinking of creative ways

739
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: for Drew to get screwed and for Drew to lose,

740
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: but eventually it's gonna hurt him. Right, So if you're

741
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: wanting to bet against Cody, that's the philosophy you take.

742
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: Like they're not. They don't want to weaken the Drew character.

743
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: And he's lost so many friggin times, and even when

744
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: he wins, he loses because then he gets screwed by

745
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: c him. Punk that said, I wouldn't bet against Cody Rhodes.

746
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see a heal Cody Road. Everyone's like, oh,

747
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: this will be the match. It turns of me. You're

748
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: not You're not seeing that man, You're not seeing a

749
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: bad guy. Cody rhads. He's the face of the company.

750
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: He's the one doing the makeup. Wishes now like it's

751
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: it's not it's not gonna happen. He's he's a good

752
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: dude now. So I think he beats Drew. Even though

753
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: Drew burned a photograph. Oh, Jeff, he burned a foot.

754
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: If somebody wanted to start a fight with me and

755
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 1: took a picture of my dad right, like the only

756
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: picture that we had taken together, it was like in

757
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: the newspapers it was me as a baby on his chest,

758
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: very emotional photograph. You know, it's the only one I got. Oh,

759
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: it's the only photo I got. Man. Oh, if somebody

760
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: wanted to fight me and they burned that photograph, I'd

761
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: be like, dude, that's the stupidest shit I've ember. I

762
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: want to fight you, bro. I don't give a shit. Man.

763
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: If you talk, if you said talked some shit about him,

764
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: and you were like, yo, your dad wasn't shit, I'd

765
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: be like, come over, here and say that to my feet.

766
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: But if you burned the photo, that's not getting me

767
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: scared for for three stages of hell Like that to me,

768
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, he should have like burned the bus or

769
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: something like that, like lick Cody's bus on fire in

770
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: front of it, you know what I mean. But of

771
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: course that costs money and they're not trying to spend

772
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: that kind of money. But that would have been cooler

773
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: to me than like then, you know, burning the photo.

774
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: But but yeah, man, I'm still hyped to see the match.

775
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: Three stages the hell is gonna be awesome. The first

776
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: match will be super cool. Second match will be like,

777
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: come on, get to the steel cage. But then they'll

778
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: get to the steel cage and everyone will bleed and

779
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: the ape the ring will be just covered in crimson red.

780
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: It'll be like that weird Gilma del Toro movie and

781
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: it didn't really work. Nobody saw it because he gave

782
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: away the ghost in the first ten minutes. But all

783
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: his other movies are super cool. But yeah, man, it'll

784
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: be covered in blood and we'll get all three. Sorry

785
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: for the Gilma del Toro sidetrack there. It's just reminded

786
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: me of a weird movie that he did. But yeah, man,

787
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: I still like the segment because I like Drew on

788
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: the microphone. I just didn't get the burning of the

789
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: photo and how angry that would make him. I mean,

790
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: I guess maybe if it was like the framed photo

791
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: from my house and that means like you broke into

792
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: my house and you took like the actual photo and

793
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: burn then I'd be pissed. But this was just like

794
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: a printer photo, like you know what I'm saying, Like

795
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't the photos.

796
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: So that's why I was like, well, maybe if it

797
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: was the Brood and they set the photo on fire

798
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: and that's some sort of voodoo message or they put

799
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: a curse on there or something, you know, Like I

800
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 2: like that.

801
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: I like that a lot.

802
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 2: Oh gang got a picture of them, you know, it's

803
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: like some sort of thing connection.

804
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm all about that. Brute's that Brood take.

805
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: We're talking aw Dynamite, We're bringing the show home. It

806
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: was December thirty first, What a great day to wrestle.

807
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: December thirty first, no days off for professional wrestlers. It sucks,

808
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: but they love what they do. They came from Liberty

809
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: first Credit Union Arena in Omaha, Nebraska, good Town. I

810
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: think Chris Klein is from there. I worked with Chris Cline.

811
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: He was a good dude. Warren Buffett's from there, Hey,

812
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett. I haven't met Warren Buffett, so I don't

813
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: know about him. But Chris was a cool dude. All Right,

814
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: here we go, before we get into the week of wrestling.

815
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: I gotta give some love to AEW for their final

816
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: pay per view of the year, Great Matches. I watched

817
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: it in Hawaii on my iPad, sitting like with the

818
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: ocean in front of me in this like lounge thing

819
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: right right by the beach man. It was so gorgeous,

820
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Yo, what's prettier professional wrestling or this view?

821
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's pretty your professional fucking wrestling. That's what.

822
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 1: I sat there and ignored the ocean, ignored the cea

823
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: outside of the beautiful sounds, and watched this with headphones on,

824
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: and then ordered a nie like food. I didn't day drink,

825
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: because I'm not a day drinker. I did order some

826
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: food and I got a virgin Pina Colada. It was delicious.

827
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Watched some wrestling and it was great. MJF. Is why

828
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: it was great, Jeff, because your favorite and my favorite

829
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: in aew the best on the mic has the World

830
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: Championship again. The Triple B, Baby, the Triple B is

831
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: back Jack and he's not gonna lose it for a

832
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: long ass time. The match was awesome. There were nuts

833
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: that got punched, there were double lariats that got hit,

834
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: everybody got their shit in. It was really really cool,

835
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: and it's set up like this free for all the

836
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: following week on like who's gonna be his next opponent?

837
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: And we got that reveal as well, which is really

838
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 1: cool because he ain't beating MJF. And we'll get into

839
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: that too, all right, So here we go. John Moxley

840
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: also won the Contonal Championship the Continental Classic. This was

841
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: an awesome storyline that they did with John Moxley. He

842
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: was losing matches. He was tapping out to Kyle O'Reilly

843
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: on leglocks, he was tapping out to this dude, he

844
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: was tapping out to your mother's sister. He was tapping

845
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: out to everybody, and then he got the Continental Classic

846
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: and even though he lost, he cut this promo backstage

847
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: where he was like, yo, man, I'm getting reef. He's like,

848
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: I call him the werewolf, and all his promos are

849
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: very just sort of like a werewolf pacing back and forth.

850
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: He can't hold still, and he's like, I've been beaten,

851
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not broken, and I'm coming back stronger than before,

852
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: because like Metal Reforged is stronger and a bone broken

853
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: and stronger when it meant like, he goes on this

854
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: whole thing and he didn't say any of that, but

855
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: that was the gist of it. And he comes back

856
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: and he wins all these matches and Okada's like cheats

857
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 1: in and Kyle Fletcher almost died in the freaking match.

858
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: It was one of the craziest matches I've ever seen. Jeff,

859
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: you should watch that shit too because it was insane.

860
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, man, he won the Classic and cut this

861
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: sick promo at the end out of breath. We were

862
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: the best in the fucking world because we're a e

863
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: W and I'm John Moxley and you can sun like

864
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: he was just so he was so badass and awesome.

865
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I freaking love John Moxley. Man. Every month

866
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: I like him more because he never takes a vacation ever.

867
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: I constantly hear, Oh, he's going on vacation with his wife.

868
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: They just had a baby. Nope, he's wrestling every day. Oh,

869
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: he's been wrestling every day. They need a vacation, they're

870
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna go to Bermuda. Nope, he's wrestling every day. He

871
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: just give me shit. The old time when you were gone,

872
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: we did like our awards for the New Year and

873
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: the Workhouse. The workhorse Champion was John Moxley. So to

874
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: see him win that tournament's greatest award after giving and

875
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: I was like, see he is the Workhorse Champion. So

876
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: I love John Moxley. I'm done gushing about him. Man crush.

877
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: MJF came out, reintroduced the triple B, threw that other

878
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: bullshit away. Who wants that other bullshit when you could

879
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: have a triple B? He said he's going to keep

880
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: the belt until he's the greatest of all time. Maybe

881
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: a little jab at John Cena there, I don't know.

882
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: But Kenny Omega suddenly appeared on the screen and the

883
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: crowd went crazy and he called a shot and he said, yeah,

884
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: you might have beaten me before, but I'm a different

885
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: man now and I'm coming for that title. And m

886
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: Jeff's like, yeah, you can come, bro, but I'm winning

887
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: that shit again. I'll beat you ten times out of ten.

888
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: And then hang man Adam Page came out and Swerve

889
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: came out in the stands, and everybody's after for MJF man,

890
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: why you guys all have to just wait your turn?

891
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: Be respectable like he was. And then Smoe Joe comes

892
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: out and he's like, yo, f you guys to Swerve

893
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: in Adam Page and they get themselves into a championship

894
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: match against the Ops for their belts and Samo Joe

895
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: vows revenge on MJF. And all these storylines were going around,

896
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: and there are storylines in ae W and they were

897
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: all getting told on Dynamite and I was very, very

898
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: excited because I love stories, and just like you guys,

899
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 1: there's podcasts about Law and Order SVU, there's podcasts about

900
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All these podcasts exists because we

00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: love good stories and we like it and told good

902
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: stories of people that we like. And I liked all

00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: these people and it was awesome. Jeff, what did you think?

00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a big you know, MJF guy, as you know,

Speaker 2: Make wrestling.

00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: It's loud. By the way, it's so freaking hard to

911
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: off a freaking magic trick and punch all these other

912
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: episodes up until finally it pops up. It drives me crazy.

913
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: That's more bitching. Sorry for doing it. I just had

914
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: to let that out. You're right to complain about John

915
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: Mosley choked out jos Josh Alexander because he's the man.

916
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: Ricochet beat Jungle Jack Perry and then they beat up Lucasaurus.

917
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: He pulled Jack Perry's hair and Jack Perry went to

918
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: get revenge Jeff and he grabbed for Ricochet's hair and

919
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: his hands slipped off his bald ass head and Rick

920
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: ran off the ropes and came in. And this time Jack,

921
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: instead of grabbing for the hair, caught him by the

922
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: beard and just slammed his face down to the ground.

923
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: It was such a great spot. It's hilarious. Bless you

924
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: two times, my man. I love that as well. Willow

926
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: This was the woman that defeated Mercedes Money in Japan

927
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: and actually injured Mercedes for a long time. She's back

928
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: on top. She has the belt and now we'll get

929
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: a story for Mercedes, which they've been building her up

930
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: as money as Mercedes five hundred belts. And now slowly

931
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: the kingdom that she's built is being chipped away at

932
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: like that big castle and Lord of the Rings when

933
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: all the orcs come and they're trying to take it out,

934
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: like that's her right, She's the king in the back,

935
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: chilling thinking she's got it made in the shade. Well

936
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: she doesn't, because now they found the weakness, and the

937
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: weakness is the belts, and she's lost two. Now she's

938
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: gonna lose more, and she's gonna go on a historic

939
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: losing trail and she'll have to earn it all back

940
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: and then she'll come back as a babyface and we'll

941
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: all love her and we'll go see they knew what

942
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: they were doing the whole time. Were the assholes? Anyway?

943
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: That better happened? Yeah, what do you think about that?

944
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: Taking all the belts off? Her like that. Do you

945
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: think it's I If they put the story around, then

946
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: it's great. If she's just losing them the way she

947
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: was just winning them, then I'll be like, what the fuck? Man?

948
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: Give this girl a story? What think you? Well? Hopefully
