• 10:04
  I'm good, I'm OK, nevermind. Oh, anyway, we've come a long
• 10:10
  way from Greeny Paper views of scrambled cable boxes, all that
• 10:15
  stuff. From Hacksaw Jim Duggan winning
• 10:17
  the first very first Royal Rumble to Ric Flair surviving
• 10:21
  for over an hour Woo to Stone Cold stacking three wins, to
• 10:27
  Shawn Michaels going coast to coast to those moments where the
• 10:32
  countdown, his zero and the entire room held its breath.
• 10:36
  Sometimes it's a surprise entry and we, you know, held our
• 10:43
  breath. And then you hear, you think you
• 10:46
  know me and you sit there at work with your friend watching
• 10:58
  it on the little saying and you just got out of work and you're
• 11:00
  just like sitting there like the entire time.
• 11:02
  And then you hear it and then you think, you know me and I'm
• 11:07
  like, Oh my God. And everybody around us, it's
• 11:10
  like, what's wrong? What's wrong?
• 11:12
  What's going on? And my friend who's like, yes,
• 11:18
  edge is back, Edge is back. And then they're like, what are
• 11:23
  you 2 talking about? They're wrestling fans.
• 11:25
  What's an edge? No.
• 11:26
  What's it like? We thought somebody died.
• 11:31
  Oh my God. Yeah, exactly.
• 11:34
  Because they're hearing like, like on this day and all this
• 11:37
  shit. I was like, yes.
• 11:39
  And that was what 2020 remember. Yeah, yeah, that.
• 11:42
  Was fun, that was. Fun.
• 11:46
  Didn't he come back for 21 too? I don't remember there's 2020
• 11:50
  was my favorite because of that. That's it.
• 11:52
  OK. Yeah, because I was at work and
• 11:55
  that. Happened and then.
• 11:57
  Bam, we don't get moments like this anymore.
• 11:59
  We had those three like 3 years of those three moments in
• 12:03
  20/17/2018, 2018-2019 and 2020. Oh, OK.
• 12:10
  Where I'm just like, hey, can I go on break?
• 12:14
  Watching the rumble and then being all surprised.
• 12:18
  Yeah. You never forget your rumbles.
• 12:21
  You don't you remember where you were, who you were watching
• 12:23
  with, who you swear was going to win.
• 12:27
  And Speaking of wins, Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks.
• 12:30
  I'm making it to the Super Bowl. I know.
• 12:34
  Different ring, same pressure, same spotlight.
• 12:37
  Yeah. Hey, thank you for beating the
• 12:40
  Rams. I really appreciate that.
• 12:47
  That entire season gave us heart attacks.
• 12:50
  It's just come on, come on. And like, you know, I've been
• 12:53
  holding my heart for the past season.
• 12:56
  And then we get to the Packers and I was like, if we don't win
• 13:00
  this, I'm upset. But if, like, if we advance and
• 13:04
  it's like we went a lot than that, if we lose the last one,
• 13:06
  I'll be fine. We just gotta beat the Packers.
• 13:08
  We did, yeah. And they're unfigured divisional
• 13:11
  rivals. Oh, there's a there's a long
• 13:14
  time rival. Oh yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure.
• 13:18
  They're Michael Jordan versus, I don't know, this Philadelphia
• 13:26
  because they were fucking rough. They were rough.
• 13:30
  They were the 90s Bulls in Philadelphia.
• 13:32
  Basically. They still hate each other.
• 13:36
  I say a Washington type of thing, like, you know, I took
• 13:40
  that person type of stuff, you know, like that.
• 13:45
  So, yeah, just your Super Bowl is going to be quite fun.
• 13:50
  Like, you know, I know you're rooting for the Seattle
• 13:52
  Seahawks. I'll probably be like, hey,
• 13:54
  Seattle Seahawks. All right, let's go.
• 13:56
  Yeah. And then I'll be, like, watching
• 13:57
  the commercials. And like I said during one of
• 14:01
  the live reactions, I think it was Super Mario Galaxy.
• 14:05
  OK. I would do the same for the
• 14:07
  Super Bowl. Just get on here and watch the
• 14:11
  trailer and be like oh shit. Yeah, so.
• 14:13
  It could. Be like a lot.
• 14:15
  This is the only time that I want to watch commercials.
• 14:19
  Right. Yeah.
• 14:22
  So yeah, we have predictions, hot takes, Netflix chaos and the
• 14:25
  unmistakable Royal Rumble feeling where anything can
• 14:28
  happen and usually does. Grab your number, pick your
• 14:32
  surprise entrance, and let's get into it.
• 14:34
  This is my third place and the countdown starts now. 8765432
• 14:48
  Let's go minutes How you doing? Doing good, doing good, Yeah.
• 14:54
  Just trying to take it easy and not let work stress me out.
• 15:02
  It's not even really work. It's, you know, it's the people
• 15:06
  that are there, you know the. People that look.
• 15:10
  Yeah, don't live there that have overstayed.
• 15:13
  They're welcome. But OK.
• 15:16
  Well, yeah, my opinion, because I'm like, you know, didn't you
• 15:24
  know if I've got people in town like me personally?
• 15:28
  I don't understand. You have a baby that keeps you
• 15:32
  up at night, but, you know, show your face.
• 15:37
  You know what I mean? Show your face during the day,
• 15:40
  you know what I mean? I I think it's kind of rude that
• 15:45
  the, you know, the granddaughter in law, I guess you could say,
• 15:49
  stays downstairs all day, You know, you're in somebody else's
• 15:56
  house, you know, at least come say good morning to them.
• 16:00
  You know, that's, that's just me.
• 16:02
  That's just me. Yeah, of course if you're going
• 16:05
  to be there, you know, and her husband, you know, will come up
• 16:09
  and down the stairs, you know, 5,000,000 times.
• 16:13
  And I'm like, OK, I, you know, that's, but that, you know,
• 16:15
  that's his grandma and he's like his wife is shy, but I'm like
• 16:19
  still shy or not. Come say good morning, you know,
• 16:24
  greet her if she's awake. You know, I'm not saying you
• 16:30
  have to sit and talk to me, you know what I mean?
• 16:33
  But I'm like, that's just me being a good house guest.
• 16:40
  But that's just, I only got 3 more days with them.
• 16:44
  So, so we'll see. But that's just me.
• 16:55
  My day was great. All right.
• 16:59
  Good. Yeah, my day was great too.
• 17:01
  I ended up watching 2 episodes. 3 episodes.
• 17:04
  You know, we're going to talk about two episodes, but we're
• 17:06
  just. You did all right.
• 17:07
  Let's just. Let's just take the three
• 17:09
  episodes then, OK? Because, you know, it's like, I
• 17:13
  might as well get in there, OK? Of WE Unreal.
• 17:19
  If you guys haven't checked it out, it's pretty fun.
• 17:22
  Pretty fun. Yeah.
• 17:24
  Obviously some people don't like it because it reveals
• 17:26
  everything. It opens the curtains up.
• 17:30
  Some of the WE staff don't like it either.
• 17:32
  Like Paul Heyman, he says it around episode 4.
• 17:36
  He doesn't like it. OK.
• 17:38
  He doesn't like the show. OK, you'll.
• 17:40
  You'll get to hear it in the next episode.
• 17:42
  OK, but. I haven't finished it.
• 17:45
  OK. Episode 1 no days off like Seth
• 17:53
  Rollins, Becky Lynch balancing being a parents, you know,
• 17:59
  trying to like do this stuff and love being a parent.
• 18:03
  Yeah. We get to Becky loved being a
• 18:06
  mom. She she loved being a mom for
• 18:11
  real. Yeah.
• 18:13
  Fast. It's just like we get to hear
• 18:17
  his, all the characters he played.
• 18:21
  We get to hear Becky characters that she played.
• 18:26
  What'd you get out of it? What else did you hear?
• 18:28
  What else did you say about? You know, I, I thought it was, I
• 18:33
  think that this is a very interesting concept.
• 18:40
  Yeah. Because here, here I'm just
• 18:44
  watching and I'm like, you know, like I didn't up until I saw the
• 18:50
  episode, you know, when it's talking about the vision, I
• 18:53
  didn't realize how long things take, you know, you know, start,
• 18:58
  you know, you had to build a storyline so you see it on TV,
• 19:04
  but it goes, you know, way past that.
• 19:07
  So if this, you know, like they said, starting a WrestleMania,
• 19:12
  they started building the vision up, you know, the storyline up.
• 19:18
  So I was like, OK, yeah, that's I'm, that's, I'm like, I think
• 19:21
  that's awesome to see everything that they, that they're thinking
• 19:30
  like, OK, And then you see it play out like, Oh yeah, that's,
• 19:35
  that's pretty cool. I mean, it's, it's creative and
• 19:39
  it makes me appreciate more what's going on because for a
• 19:45
  while it's like, really we're doing this, we're doing that.
• 19:48
  This is, you know, this makes no sense, but.
• 19:52
  But I do like how they were talking about the vision and
• 19:57
  just to hear what Steph had to say, to hear what Paul Heyman
• 20:01
  had to say, to hear how appreciative Brian Breaker and
• 20:08
  Bronson Reed are. You know, I was like, this, this
• 20:12
  is cool. You know, like, this is cool.
• 20:13
  And then I'm like, OK, are we going to talk about what
• 20:16
  happened? I mean, maybe and then, you
• 20:20
  know, the visual will be part of this whole series, you know,
• 20:25
  this season, I guess you could say.
• 20:27
  But I'm like, if y'all had all this going on, how you going to
• 20:33
  take stuff out of it? You know, from what we saw on
• 20:37
  TV, you know, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:40
  But I, I think it's, it's really awesome.
• 20:43
  I think what the one of with our truth, so episode 2 with our
• 20:52
  truth and the whole thing that happened with him, I like that's
• 20:58
  kind of to me, it's jacked up that they tell him, OK, you're
• 21:04
  really well, you know, we're not extending your contract.
• 21:08
  I like when they, you know, when they said that they're like,
• 21:12
  well, you know, we were just trying to force his hand.
• 21:15
  No, that's to me. I'm like, that's messed up.
• 21:19
  You need to say, hey, this is what we're trying to do.
• 21:23
  You know how a regular business does things.
• 21:28
  You know, here's what we're offering you.
• 21:30
  Oh, well, this is what I want, you know, open the communication
• 21:34
  like that. Don't be like, oh, well, sorry,
• 21:38
  we're not going to extend your contract.
• 21:41
  So his feelings to me were 100% valid.
• 21:46
  You know, he's like it, you know, it came out of nowhere.
• 21:49
  You know, I, I feel so I feel so bad.
• 21:55
  And I thought he had every right to say, hey, I'm released.
• 22:01
  You know, this is this is sudden, but thank you.
• 22:05
  You know, he thanked the fans. He could have been real, you
• 22:09
  know, a real jerk and then and could have went off on
• 22:12
  everybody, you know, But he did it.
• 22:15
  He was like, you know, I'm hurt. But I want to thank all the
• 22:19
  fans. I want to thank, you know, this
• 22:22
  person, you know, I want to thank everybody for helping me
• 22:25
  to be the star that I was. What I didn't know.
• 22:30
  And I guess it's because I stopped watching go out that him
• 22:35
  and Road Doc were so close, you know, and when Rd. dogs sitting
• 22:40
  there crying, I'm like, don't cry, don't cry because I don't
• 22:43
  want to cry, you know, and it's just the fact that you know,
• 22:47
  they're it's it's emotional. It's emotional for all of them,
• 22:53
  you know, So I'm like, I'm sitting at work.
• 22:56
  Try not to cry and be like, what's wrong with you?
• 23:00
  Nothing. Nothing.
• 23:02
  Ma'am, nothing. But I'm just.
• 23:04
  Crying over this but, and so, so I really, I really liked the
• 23:12
  episode with our truth. So episode #2 I thought that was
• 23:17
  a really good episode. I think what is what everybody
• 23:25
  doesn't like is, you know, like when John Cena is supposed to be
• 23:30
  a heel. But yeah, he's talking to
• 23:34
  everybody, you know, backstage and, you know, high fiving
• 23:38
  everybody, shaking people's hands and telling them, you
• 23:40
  know, they did an awesome job. You know, after our truth and
• 23:45
  his match, you know, he was like, that was great, you know,
• 23:48
  so I'm like, it was. But I'm like, so I I see why,
• 23:53
  you know, some people don't like it, but it just shows that even
• 23:59
  even if John Cena was a heel, he's still giving props to the
• 24:06
  match. You know, the match was great.
• 24:09
  You know, the fact that, you know, our truth came out in his
• 24:14
  gear, you know, for their Saturday night main event match,
• 24:19
  I thought that was that was hilarious.
• 24:20
  That was fun, you know, But then when they were talking about
• 24:26
  when he came back, you know, in the and all black all.
• 24:31
  Black. You know, I was like, I knew it
• 24:34
  was our truth when I saw it because I saw his skin.
• 24:38
  You know what I mean? I saw.
• 24:39
  His ankle. I saw his ankle.
• 24:40
  Yeah. Skin.
• 24:42
  Who else is going to do that? Yeah, OK.
• 24:46
  And road dogs like I knew by his ankle and stuff with him, he's
• 24:50
  like, I don't know why, but I know those are his ankles.
• 24:53
  Yeah, but I'm like, I, I really think this is an awesome idea
• 24:59
  because then you can see, to me, it helps appreciate more what
• 25:04
  you're seeing. Yeah, when you see the match,
• 25:08
  the money in the bank, when they're talking about that, just
• 25:13
  watching it again like this is I'm like, they put their bodies
• 25:20
  through the ringers. And yes, it's kayfabe, but some
• 25:25
  of that stuff, actually, most of those stuff, you cannot fake
• 25:28
  that, you know what I mean? So thank.
• 25:31
  You for liking? Live So so far I'm enjoying this
• 25:37
  season. Yeah, me too.
• 25:43
  Second episode, Truth. I was like, oh, we get a truth
• 25:46
  episode, let's go. And you know the whole story of
• 25:49
  how like everything, all that stuff, how he came about.
• 25:52
  There's pictures of him and Tupac and Eazy.
• 25:54
  EI saw that I'm. Like, how old are you, man?
• 25:59
  You still around? You're still like, I believe.
• 26:02
  He's the oldest, yeah. I think he's the oldest active
• 26:07
  wrestler. He is, he is.
• 26:11
  I love how Undertaker is now in the background too.
• 26:14
  I saw that. Yeah, I'm like.
• 26:16
  Why are you there? What are you doing?
• 26:18
  What are you doing back there? It was just like just hanging
• 26:20
  out. OK?
• 26:21
  Get out of there, please. Like we don't have to.
• 26:24
  Screw you. Have some info in there?
• 26:27
  Yeah, no, no, he just Dylan back there in Gorilla.
• 26:32
  Right Joe Joseph Park Abyss in TNA Joseph Park is he wants to
• 26:40
  make everybody happy. Yeah.
• 26:43
  He does, like, I feel like he's like the father figure.
• 26:46
  Like there was a father. There was some dad jokes in
• 26:48
  there, obviously from Triple H like, yeah, tell truth to get to
• 26:53
  get out there. He's like right there.
• 26:54
  He's standing right there. Oh, I thought it was Cena.
• 26:57
  I I was like, come on now, really come on.
• 27:00
  In what world is and the stark contrast between R Truth and
• 27:07
  John Cena. I was like, come on now.
• 27:11
  I'm like, it's the dad joke on an old man joke.
• 27:15
  It's a dad joke. It was like, oh, I thought it
• 27:16
  was John Cena. No, no, I'm right here.
• 27:18
  I'm right here, Sir. I'm right here.
• 27:19
  Hey, OK, like what? Well, then OK, let's go.
• 27:25
  I was like, oh geez, here we go. He's doing the same thing Vince
• 27:29
  used to do where he could sell dad jokes as well, but at the
• 27:31
  same. Time.
• 27:32
  Triple H is. I just knew they're corny.
• 27:35
  They're. Coming from a.
• 27:36
  New guy responsible, like a quarterback basically.
• 27:41
  And it's just like whatever, Part three, I forgot what Part 3
• 27:46
  was about. Was that the money in the bank
• 27:49
  stuff? Yeah.
• 27:50
  Were they ripping into LA night? Yes, I was like, come on now.
• 27:56
  I'm like, you know what? What they had in mind, Yeah, I
• 28:00
  get would have been a little bit more drama, but you know, so I
• 28:09
  you know what, I don't know, I I would say Seth messed it up
• 28:13
  because Seth went and grabbed LA Knight down and he was supposed
• 28:19
  to go on the other side of the ladder and they were supposed to
• 28:21
  climb together, you know, and then so I'm like, in a way, like
• 28:25
  Seth messed it up. But but we're not going to no,
• 28:29
  we're not going to do that. We're not going to.
• 28:31
  We're not going. To no going to put the blame on
• 28:33
  LA Knight. Because he didn't.
• 28:35
  Like what? I was like, you know what, I
• 28:38
  think the wrestlers doing it that way, I think it was better
• 28:45
  because that that was more, you know, to me, that's more
• 28:49
  believable. You know, you're not going to go
• 28:52
  across for them because he, you know, one could have longer arms
• 28:56
  so he can reach, you know, higher than the other one, even
• 28:59
  though they could be, you know, the same height.
• 29:02
  There's different to me, I'm like, there's different.
• 29:06
  It's a different outcome, but to have them, you know, going, you
• 29:10
  know, face to face, I think that's not as believable as, you
• 29:15
  know, him ripping them down, you know, from behind, You know,
• 29:18
  them doing that I think is better.
• 29:21
  It just makes more sense than saying, Oh no, we're going to
• 29:26
  fight. And then, you know, I mean, he's
• 29:27
  still stopped him and then climbed up the, you know, the
• 29:32
  ladder and got the briefcase down.
• 29:35
  So I'm like, that's the element of surprise, you know, I mean,
• 29:42
  if you think about it. So so I thought, so that was
• 29:48
  good. And I think with the whole thing
• 29:52
  with Naomi, that's that was a little bit more eye opening too.
• 29:58
  Yeah, because you know what I mean?
• 30:02
  For a little bit I was like, she's kind of, I mean, she's a
• 30:05
  she's a good wrestler. But to me it looked more as she
• 30:12
  said she's getting older, that it was more wrestled by the
• 30:14
  numbers and she was watching more to me than was doing
• 30:19
  better. So.
• 30:22
  But to hear her story, I'm like, yeah, you know, I see.
• 30:26
  And I, I actually liked her heel turn.
• 30:30
  Yeah, I thought it was good. She's like, Oh yeah, I did this,
• 30:35
  this and this. I'm like, and then you got
• 30:37
  pregnant, unfortunately, you know, because now it's both
• 30:44
  their fault, so. And like when she brought up the
• 30:48
  fact that she was pregnant, I'm like, well, what happened to
• 30:51
  your IUD from Total Divas? What happened to that?
• 30:56
  Because you've been like, that's the first thing you know about
• 30:58
  her and on Total Divas. Right.
• 31:01
  Back when I was watching it for like the first season because I
• 31:03
  wanted to know what the whole show was about.
• 31:05
  And you know, I watched it out of curiosity too.
• 31:09
  And I watched, let's see, I think I watched all of Total
• 31:13
  Divas and I stopped on like season 4 of Toto Bellas.
• 31:19
  Hey. I didn't watch.
• 31:23
  Toto Bellas I did well because the reason why I watched Toto
• 31:26
  Bellas is because that it was in between Total Divas.
• 31:32
  So where Total Diva stopped is where Total Bella started.
• 31:39
  And then when they had yeah, it kind of, you know, the story of
• 31:46
  Nikki, whatever happened in Nikki and Bree's life went on on
• 31:52
  Total Diva. So I'm like, I had.
• 31:54
  That's also so I couldn't just watch 1 and not the other.
• 32:00
  Stuff that's funny. But Leanna said she watched
• 32:03
  both. OK.
• 32:05
  Steve, we're right here. For Naomi, we're gonna say,
• 32:14
  yeah, like you said, that's like you felt like it's very
• 32:18
  wrestling by the numbers because it's been like, what, 15 years
• 32:24
  since they debuted now? Yeah, around.
• 32:27
  There. So yeah, her Becky, Charlotte,
• 32:32
  Becky, who has having back seizures now, it's like they're
• 32:37
  getting older and I'm just like, no way they're going to retire
• 32:40
  soon. It's.
• 32:41
  Crazy like the IT just how it feels when you, the people that
• 32:45
  you watch Russell are retiring now and it's like, oh wow,
• 32:50
  Undertaker's gone. Shawn.
• 32:52
  Michaels is gone, but they're working backstage.
• 32:54
  Triple H. Is a dad just working backstage?
• 32:56
  And all the girls are. Doing it too.
• 32:58
  And I'm just like, oh shoot, it's been 15 years, huh?
• 33:01
  Your your back take is cold on you and all this stuff.
• 33:04
  And and they're wrestling by the numbers.
• 33:06
  Lita left. Lita's gone.
• 33:07
  Yeah. Trip Gradda is a mom.
• 33:10
  Lita is a freaking God mom. We got Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy
• 33:17
  still wrestling about the same time.
• 33:19
  His wife is like has like 4 kids, four of his kids and
• 33:25
  they're called goth, yes. Like, yeah.
• 33:33
  That's funny. So yeah, we're going to keep
• 33:38
  watching this, these episodes, Yeah, 3-4 and five.
• 33:42
  I'm going to continue watching four and five.
• 33:44
  Yeah. And then we'll probably do
• 33:45
  another episode pretty soon and recap those.
• 33:51
  If you want me on it's fine, that's great, but if not you
• 33:53
  want to buy your own. Man, we're going to do an
• 33:56
  episode. OK.
• 33:59
  We're going to do that and then we're going to do whatever you
• 34:02
  want to do. Oh, OK.
• 34:06
  You got to pick out another episode, another show to do.
• 34:09
  OK. So we can do it that day, so
• 34:12
  around next month. OK.
• 34:16
  Before the mission chamber. OK.
• 34:19
  OK all right, you ready for Rumble stuff?
• 34:24
  Yes. OK with the 2026 Royal Rumble in
• 34:28
  Saudi Arabia, the 2026 calendar year will host 3 events in the
• 34:31
  country instead of two as 2025 only had one.
• 34:36
  This also returns the Royal Rumble to its traditional
• 34:38
  January slot, as the 2025 event was held in February.
• 34:43
  I didn't like that I. Yeah, I was.
• 34:45
  Like no, I don't like this at all.
• 34:50
  I mean, it was one day, but it was like, still Royal Rumble is
• 34:54
  a January event, so. 23rd 26 Just leave it in January.
• 35:03
  The event will feature wrestlers from Ron Smackdown brands to
• 35:06
  generate 30th episodes Fred and I Smack that will also be held
• 35:08
  at the same venue. The main theme song is heavy is
• 35:11
  the crown by New Linkin Park. Not the old one was Chester.
• 35:17
  OK I was wondering about that, if it was the newer or if it was
• 35:21
  an old song. It's the new one sending you
• 35:24
  Linkin Park. OK all.
• 35:27
  Right, we're going to bypass Mens and women's work number
• 35:30
  first. We're going to do Drew McIntyre
• 35:33
  and Sami Zayn for the championship.
• 35:37
  On the January 9th episode of Smackdown, the Brands General
• 35:40
  Managers Nick Alvis announced that a tournament would begin
• 35:43
  the following week with eight wrestlers competing against each
• 35:46
  other in four singles matches, with the winners advancing to a
• 35:49
  Fatal 4 match at Saturday Night's Main Event and the
• 35:52
  winner of that match would earn an Undisputed W Championship
• 35:54
  match at the Royal Rumble later that night, Drew McIntyre
• 35:57
  defeated Cody Rose in the Three Stages of Hell match to win the
• 35:59
  title, confirming his hiatus as the his status as the defending
• 36:04
  champion at Saturday Night's Main Event on January 24th,
• 36:07
  Sammy Zane won the Fatal four way.
• 36:09
  Additionally, as Mcintyre's win over Rhodes had an extra
• 36:11
  stipulation and the Rhodes would not receive an automatic rematch
• 36:15
  for the title and would instead have Earring 1, Rhodes declared
• 36:18
  himself the first entrant in the men's Rumble match.
• 36:23
  What? Oh yeah, so.
• 36:25
  Rhodes Rhodes I forgot he Rhodes not in this match when the.
• 36:28
  Yeah, no, all right, whatever. I guess you get that.
• 36:31
  It was very, to me, it was very sneaky that Drew put that in
• 36:38
  there that, you know, he has to earn a rematch.
• 36:44
  He doesn't automatically get one.
• 36:47
  Yeah. So I was like, hmm.
• 36:49
  And I don't know if Cody read that in the contract because he
• 36:53
  sure as heck didn't say it when he was talking about the three
• 36:56
  stages of hell. So.
• 36:58
  Right. So Drew McIntyre is Sammy Zane.
• 37:02
  I somebody brought this up. I don't know if it was you or
• 37:08
  Becca. The reason Sami Zayn is in this
• 37:11
  match is because where we're at. I think it was Becca, but I I
• 37:17
  agree, yeah. So let's use Sami Zayn for
• 37:23
  publicity, put him in there, and then he's going to lose.
• 37:29
  You think so? Yeah, there's no way they're
• 37:31
  going to give him the belt now there in hometown.
• 37:36
  No, I mean not hometown, but. Like, well, he wanted his
• 37:39
  hometown. Yeah, so.
• 37:43
  Canada, yeah, but I don't think they're going to give him the
• 37:46
  belt here at all. They're just like here, we're
• 37:48
  going to tease you with this. Ha, ha, ha.
• 37:50
  And then Drew McIntyre wins because Kevin Owens interferes.
• 37:55
  Have we haven't seen him in a while?
• 37:57
  Yeah, No, I don't know. I don't know, like I don't.
• 37:59
  I haven't seen Kevin Owens either in a while.
• 38:01
  He just backstage though. Yeah, so I so I was thinking, I
• 38:06
  was think I saw this this guy on on TikTok and he's like, do you
• 38:13
  think they set this up? So this guy I knew is Sami Zayn
• 38:17
  can win to go on to here, which is a Royal Rumble in Saudi
• 38:22
  Arabia to lose, you know, to win against this guy, which he drew.
• 38:27
  He's like only to lose it here at Elimination Chamber to this
• 38:31
  guy so that it was Cody, so that this guy Roman can win the
• 38:38
  Rumble and face Cody, this guy at Royal at a WrestleMania.
• 38:47
  And I was like, huh, He's like, and I'm OK with that.
• 38:49
  I'm like, that makes sense. But I don't know.
• 38:52
  I'm like, I don't know if that's actually going to be true,
• 38:54
  right? You know, because usually, I
• 38:58
  mean, they will have, you know, a championship match, you know,
• 39:01
  here and there. But usually the champion doesn't
• 39:06
  really fight until WrestleMania, you know, unless it is something
• 39:10
  like that, you know, where as a challenge.
• 39:15
  But I was like, yeah, I was like, we'll see.
• 39:19
  But I but I already told you long time ago.
• 39:22
  And when we talk, we'll tell about later what my prediction
• 39:26
  is. And sister.
• 39:30
  Oh, still holding out hope for that.
• 39:32
  Oh, always. So.
• 39:35
  Anyway, so back to what we were talking about with Sami Zayn
• 39:41
  versus Drew, I think that they are going to have Sammy win.
• 39:52
  So I say Sammy because he won in his hometown Of Montreal and
• 39:59
  he's going to Saudi Arabia, him being Middle Eastern himself.
• 40:08
  You know, why not make it come full circle?
• 40:12
  You know he lost in, you know he's lost in both places.
• 40:15
  Now he's going to win at both places.
• 40:19
  I don't think he'll keep it all the way till WrestleMania, but
• 40:24
  I'm going to go with Sami Zayn. That's my pick all.
• 40:30
  Right, I got Drew McIntyre. OK, I.
• 40:33
  Just I'm like I don't as it was too too soon.
• 40:40
  OK. For Sammy to show up out of the
• 40:42
  blue, like they're like, oh, just him.
• 40:45
  And like if Drew does lose, like that'd be great.
• 40:49
  But just like I don't think they're going to like maybe
• 40:54
  he'll do, maybe he'll do what like he does last time where he
• 40:58
  lost it as soon as he wanted because he did it that good at
• 41:04
  complaining and stuff. Yeah.
• 41:06
  All right. So I'm.
• 41:07
  Going to change it again. I'm going to change it again.
• 41:08
  I'm going to change it again. Yes.
• 41:11
  Yes, ma'am. So I'm going to say Drew
• 41:17
  McIntyre. OK.
• 41:19
  And if that means that it wins, it's probably by DQ.
• 41:24
  Well, he wouldn't win the belt. Yeah.
• 41:28
  Exactly. So he still win.
• 41:29
  Oh OK, now I'm saying he wins for the belt.
• 41:32
  So. So you say Drew, I say Sammy
• 41:37
  clean. I say Sammy, when's clean?
• 41:45
  Right. OK.
• 41:47
  OK, all right, Next match AJ Styles was Gunther at Saturday
• 41:51
  Night's Main event. On December 13, 2025, Gunther
• 41:54
  defeated John Cena, the Ladder's retirement match, by making Cena
• 41:57
  tap out. Over the following episodes of
• 41:59
  Raw, Gunther confusedly gloated about making Cena tap out like a
• 42:03
  little bitch. He even has a shirt and made.
• 42:08
  Tennis. Half out like a little bitch.
• 42:11
  Several wrestlers took issue with that.
• 42:13
  This including AJ Styles, who confronted Gunther several times
• 42:16
  during the Raw and Netflix Anniversary show on January 5th,
• 42:19
  2020. Sixth, Styles interrupted
• 42:21
  Gunther. However, Gunther did not allow
• 42:22
  Styles to speak, resulting in Style slapping Gunther.
• 42:26
  The following week, Gunther faced Styles during the match.
• 42:29
  Gunther tapped out during a calf Calf Crusher Calf Crusher by
• 42:34
  Styles, who then released Gunther and saw he had won that
• 42:36
  much. However, the referee did not see
• 42:38
  Gunther tap out. Gunther then delivered a low
• 42:40
  blow and a powerbomb on Styles to win the match.
• 42:42
  The following week, Styles interrupted Gunther and
• 42:44
  challenged him to a rematch at the Royal Rumble.
• 42:46
  Although Gunther originally declined, he then proposed that
• 42:49
  he would only accept the match if Styles put his career on the
• 42:51
  line, as during Crown Jewel Kickoff Pre Show in October 25,
• 42:55
  Styles stated that he would retire in 2026.
• 42:57
  Later that night, after consulting his wife, Styles
• 43:00
  accepted, with Raw general Manager Adam Pierce making the
• 43:02
  match official. Thank you, Wendy, for for you
• 43:06
  know. Agreeing.
• 43:08
  For agreeing for that, you shouldn't have Wendy, Wendy.
• 43:12
  Yeah, Wendy. Wendy.
• 43:15
  Not feeling this, Wendy. Damn it Wendy, thank you to Mojo
• 43:21
  for telling us that her name has been Wendy all this whole time.
• 43:24
  Wendy. Wendy.
• 43:29
  Anyway, no, no, jokes aside, of course there's a meme out there.
• 43:41
  What if we've been watching AJ Styles, you know, career ending
• 43:50
  retirement tour this whole time and not John Cena's while at the
• 43:54
  same time as John Cena? 'S sure.
• 43:56
  'Cause we he's had matches. He has.
• 44:00
  His match against Nakamura and Nakamura released something on
• 44:05
  Instagram saying that this would be his final match.
• 44:08
  Good luck to him and and all his future endeavors.
• 44:11
  And because he felt that he's retiring on here on on Saturday.
• 44:19
  And then we get a match between Styles and Finn Balor.
• 44:28
  And Finn Balor is all like, you know, he wanted this match right
• 44:33
  away against Finn Balor. And Finn Balor is like, yeah,
• 44:35
  let's go. And they did the whole Bullet
• 44:37
  Club thing. Of course, not this one and this
• 44:41
  one. And then his magic in CM Punk,
• 44:44
  who CM Punk's all did a post match interview saying like, I
• 44:50
  hope it's not his last. But you know, at the same time,
• 44:53
  I've been in the match against Gunter and good luck, man.
• 44:58
  Like, you know, yeah, as I just this whole time, all right, I'm
• 45:04
  gonna do the same thing that I did with Tina.
• 45:06
  I'm a hope for AJ Styles. Me too.
• 45:11
  But I know Dean damn well that they're teasing it, and Nakamura
• 45:15
  already said it, and maybe they'll probably like, change
• 45:18
  it. I'm gonna say Gunther.
• 45:20
  Yeah. Hoping for AJ Styles to win and
• 45:23
  then he can retire at the end of the year.
• 45:25
  But what if he wants to retire now?
• 45:27
  Go to TNA, do his retirement tour there as well, retire in
• 45:31
  his home home and then leave. That's it.
• 45:36
  And Gunther wins it. He makes him tap out.
• 45:42
  And he retires another one. He retires another one and
• 45:47
  there's also another meme of Gunther being death knocking on
• 45:51
  everybody's doors. Goldberg, John.
• 45:57
  Cena. AJ Styles was next, and then
• 46:00
  there's another one that's next as Randy Orton, and I'm like,
• 46:05
  oh, he's retiring the old guard. Let's go.
• 46:10
  So yeah, unfortunately, I don't want him to win.
• 46:13
  Yeah, but it looks like this is where we're headed.
• 46:15
  Yeah, yeah, that's what Queenie B said too.
• 46:21
  But no. Why?
• 46:22
  Are we both on the same page? No, no, I say.
• 46:27
  No, you. Say no.
• 46:29
  OK. Fine, I say AJ Styles wins, all
• 46:32
  right, Because no, I'm not going to say that he's not going to
• 46:39
  retire. You know, like we'll say maybe
• 46:41
  let's say he retires mid year. That's fine.
• 46:45
  I for me, I just don't like that Gunther's gotten to retire two
• 46:53
  people, you know, pretty much back-to-back and they want to do
• 46:59
  AJ Styles this, you know, now. So that would be 3 in a row he's
• 47:05
  done. I'm like, I'm like it just
• 47:07
  doesn't sit with me. No, I'm not saying anything
• 47:11
  against Gunther. Gunther is, you know, an amazing
• 47:13
  wrestler. He very technical.
• 47:16
  You know, I and I love hit that he's such a heel that he don't
• 47:22
  care that, you know, all these people are booing him.
• 47:24
  He's like, but I'm like, I, I think to me, it's just too
• 47:31
  early. You know it's too close from
• 47:34
  John Cena to have Adrian Styles retire.
• 47:36
  But yeah, it's just like 2 1/2 months and that's what Steven
• 47:40
  Puck says. Like guys, not right that Stiles
• 47:45
  is retiring 2 1/2 months after John Cena just did.
• 47:49
  We just lost John Cena. Not even that.
• 47:52
  Like. Damn month and a half a.
• 47:54
  Month and a. Half.
• 47:55
  Yeah, that, yeah. Whatever December, January is.
• 47:57
  Fine, so it's. Like I don't want him to go, but
• 48:03
  sometimes like, alright, I see it.
• 48:06
  He made his debut at Royal Rumble.
• 48:07
  He will. Right.
• 48:09
  Lose at Royal Rumble? Yeah, he will do that.
• 48:11
  Royal Rumble, I don't want it to be, I don't want it to be true,
• 48:14
  but it's going to be, you know, 26.
• 48:18
  When did he do it 2016? 20.
• 48:21
  Six, ma'am. Yeah, I know.
• 48:25
  It's rough, It's rough, it's rough.
• 48:27
  And, you know, the way that WWE is like really hyping up this,
• 48:33
  you know, I think it might be true.
• 48:35
  I don't want to believe it. I don't want it to happen.
• 48:39
  But you know, we'll see. But I say he went AJ Styles wins
• 48:45
  all. Right.
• 48:48
  I say Gunther, you say AJ Styles.
• 48:50
  Yes, all. Right Women's Royal Rumble match
• 48:54
  has 17 out of the 30. Entrance has been announced as
• 48:57
  of January 28th, 2026. EO Skye, Ria Ripley, Roxanne

  Oscar Chelsea Green, Jordan Grace, Charlotte Flair, Alexa
• 49:10
  Bliss NIA Jack slash legend Julia Maxine Dupree announced on
• 49:18
  a shot of Brandy a Brandy wrote her.
• 49:23
  Like little lifestyle show. Yeah, and Becky Lynch announced
• 49:29
  on Raw, where is Natty? Maybe she's calling her.
• 49:42
  I'm calling her Natty now instead of Natalia.
• 49:44
  Natalia is retired and Natty has Natalia elevates Natty desert.
• 49:53
  Mates. Yep.
• 49:55
  That's a mates. That's a mates, yeah.
• 49:58
  So we're going to see, we're going to see natty from years
• 50:02
  ago. Yeah, not even years ago from
• 50:07
  when she's in AAA. Not AAA.
• 50:10
  Was it AAA or was it that whole no ring?
• 50:13
  She did bone OK, so she did the like the underground stuff.
• 50:21
  The Bloodsport. Bloodsport and then she went on
• 50:25
  AAA and was doing the same thing.
• 50:28
  Destroying. People, yeah.
• 50:30
  Can't wait to see this. Any surprise entrance?
• 50:38
  Hoping to see. Let's see.
• 50:42
  No, I can't think of anybody right now.
• 50:46
  Returns. I don't think so.
• 50:53
  Who hasn't been announced? Well, you said natty's.
• 50:56
  Oh, we'll say Natty. Let's see what's what about?
• 51:04
  What's her butt? Yeah, maybe Tippy.
• 51:07
  Maybe Tippy because she don't have a belt right now.
• 51:11
  So definitely Tiffy. Let's see, Jade's got a belt.
• 51:19
  So you right, you right. I mean, she could just get in
• 51:26
  there and then she could be, you know, Oh well, I want to go for
• 51:29
  one of the other belts, you know, maybe on on Smackdown.
• 51:33
  So there's the United States, you know, championship.
• 51:36
  So she can go for that. She can go for the IC on Raw.
• 51:39
  So let's see. Naomi Did Naomi have the baby?
• 51:44
  No, I don't think she's had the baby yet.
• 51:46
  She's. Still.
• 51:48
  Pregnant. Yeah, let's see.
• 51:55
  Mariah May. OK, yeah, you know what I say,
• 52:01
  Saul, Ruka and Zaria. Oh.

  OK, because I think those two are maybe pretty close to coming
• 52:11
  up. I think they're pretty close.
• 52:13
  So I say Saul, Ruka and Zarya I want.
• 52:17
  To see some snow snatch soul snatchers on that.
• 52:20
  Yeah, yeah, I'm really impressed with her.
• 52:23
  I'm like, her timing is like perfect to do that.
• 52:29
  Perfect. AJ Lee.
• 52:32
  OK. Yeah, because we haven't really
• 52:36
  seen much of her, you know? And then she caused Becky.
• 52:42
  Yeah. Becky throws her out.
• 52:44
  Yeah. Nikki Bella.
• 52:47
  Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah.
• 52:51
  What about Bree coming back? No.
• 52:55
  No, you don't think. So not yet any of the old ones.
• 53:02
  Trish, maybe I. Hope not, I hope not.
• 53:10
  No. Trish, OH.
• 53:12
  Rest up at numbers again. Yeah, sitting in the corner, you
• 53:17
  know, sitting in the corner resting stuff.
• 53:21
  Resting for like a few minutes and going for another move.
• 53:25
  TNA girls because they're still doing this stuff.

  Like we've already. Covered AAA because I was like.
• 56:54
  AAA TNANXT and WWE, it's like they're fully stacked.

  They could totally do a 40 women's.
• 57:00
  Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
• 57:01
  Oh yeah. You know, since they're trying
• 57:05
  to make everything two days when I do a 2 day Royal Rumble and
• 57:09
  make it 40, you know what I mean?
• 57:11
  Yeah. There you go.
• 57:14
  I liked out OH. I want to say hello.

  OK. Oh, you know what?
• 57:39
  I do have Bianca. Beller.
• 57:41
  Bianca. Beller.
• 57:43
  Yeah, I think, I think she'll come back.
• 57:48
  Whether she wins or not, you know, it's a different story.
• 57:50
  But you know what, I'm going with Chelsea Green.
• 57:56
  That's who I'm going with. There you go.
• 57:59
  I think, I think I, you know what she's, I've said it before,
• 58:04
  she's grown on me, you know, and I, I think she is a really good
• 58:11
  wrestler, you know, and she was part of also in Unreal.
• 58:16
  Episode 4 I. Think, what's it?
• 58:18
  No, I think it was one of those. Where she's talking about with.
• 58:24
  Penta, Yeah. Penta yeah, I think it was
• 58:27
  episode 4, I don't remember. No, because I haven't watched
• 58:29
  episode Episode. Three, I'm still, I still
• 58:31
  haven't watched episode 4. I'm sorry.
• 58:32
  So Episode 3. So yeah, it was episode 3.
• 58:35
  Because she was, you know, she was talking about that.
• 58:37
  And I remember you and I had talked about that Lucha
• 58:41
  Underground and you're like, you got to watch it.
• 58:44
  So I saw it and I'm like, wow, she she did amazing.
• 58:50
  And she she even said she's like, that was so much fun.
• 58:54
  She's like, I learned so much. And they're like, oh, you should
• 58:57
  redo it. And she's like, no, you can't
• 58:59
  redo perfection. We ain't doing that stuff.
• 59:05
  Nope, I'm like. Plus, I highly doubt that WWE is
• 59:11
  going to do that. You know what I mean?
• 59:13
  I mean, they do mixed tags right now, but it's always if a, you
• 59:19
  know, if the girl comes in, the girl, the other girl comes in,
• 59:22
  there is no fight. Yeah, they're not going to do a
• 59:25
  Mexican destroyer on her. Oh, no, no, You know what?
• 59:29
  Every time I see him do that, I'm like, Oh my gosh.
• 59:34
  I'm like it looks terrible every single time to me and I'm like I
• 59:39
  just cringe every time I see him do it but like I can't watch
• 59:43
  you. Know another one I didn't
• 59:46
  mention? Candace Larae.
• 59:48
  OK, I. Mean she's out there being a

  Yeah, she ain't wrestled in a while.
• 59:57

• 1:01:15
  like can you please do something about these guys?
• 1:01:17

  Randy Orton. Brock Lesnar.
• 1:01:59
  Yep. Damn it, I had to.
• 1:02:02
  I had to refresh this thing. Yep.
• 1:02:10
  Brock Lesnar called Pat while he was doing his show.
• 1:02:15
  He Facetimed him and he's like, hey, he said, what are you
• 1:02:18
  doing? And he's like, are you still
• 1:02:20
  doing your little stupid podcast?
• 1:02:22
  He's like, Brock, it's a show now.
• 1:02:26
  It's a full, full blown show. He goes, well, you know, OK.
• 1:02:30
  And Pat's like, well, you know, what are you doing?
• 1:02:32
  He's like, I'm just telling you that I'm going to be in the
• 1:02:35
  Royal Rumble. I'm not you.
• 1:02:36
  Because he was like, you could see he was not at home.
• 1:02:42
  So he was on a plane. He was.
• 1:02:45
  On. His way over, he's like, yeah,
• 1:02:48
  I'm in it and I'm going to win, OK?
• 1:02:52
  So that means 17. So Randy Orton announced it on
• 1:02:55
  Get Up on the Show. Get.
• 1:02:59
  Up so that's seventeen I was on all right so that means.
• 1:03:04
  And of course pimping that left. I just had that on both and they
• 1:03:10
  said you actually you played it, but I don't remember it on Raw.
• 1:03:15
  But Ben Beller went to Adam Pierce and was like, I want to
• 1:03:22
  be in it. He's like, it's full.
• 1:03:25
  So they got 30 and maybe that's part of the storyline.
• 1:03:32
  So Dominic McDonald, either one has to either get out of there
• 1:03:42
  or, you know, do what do to Dominic, what Dominic did to his
• 1:03:47
  father. Or was Ray supposed to be a part
• 1:03:54
  of this? And then he's injured.
• 1:03:55
  So now that. Can be a part of it, Who knows?
• 1:04:01
  We'll see. So now Ray Alfred Baller can be
• 1:04:06
  a part of it. Rey Mysterio's injured Jay USO.
• 1:04:11
  There's Jimmy in there. No, he's not.
• 1:04:14
  Why isn't Jimmy in? Oh, well, he's at home with his
• 1:04:16
  wife. OK, that's cool.
• 1:04:17
  That's cool. Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  So maybe she is having the baby or maybe she's close.
• 1:04:23
  Well, cuz it's you she gave she relinquished her title.
• 1:04:27
  When? In the summer, right?
• 1:04:32
  Summer. Yeah.
• 1:04:33
  OK, so we'll say August because or no maybe it was this was it
• 1:04:38
  September? September.
• 1:04:40
  OK, so September. So that was no, I think she's
• 1:04:45
  still got a few months. Months, yeah.
• 1:04:51
  So. Anybody from NXT?
• 1:04:57
  Anybody from NXT? Actually, no, not really.

  Chris Jericho. You think so?
• 1:05:07
  Is he not in AW anywhere? Oh, so I guess that was leaked
• 1:05:13
  or something because they're doing like like images like
• 1:05:20
  they're making these big images. And I guess one of them was like
• 1:05:28
  Jericho's silhouette. So I don't, I don't know because
• 1:05:36
  I haven't seen it. My other sister told me about
• 1:05:39
  it, but they were saying because I saw they have like a statue of
• 1:05:44
  Romans 1, you know, in the air. So they're like, they've been
• 1:05:49
  doing things like that, hype up the Rumble.
• 1:05:56
  And so they've got different images of wrestlers.
• 1:06:01
  And I guess one of them was Chris Jericho.
• 1:06:06
  So we'll see on Saturday if that's you or not, but and do
• 1:06:13
  you think, do you think edge? We wanted him for John Cena.
• 1:06:20
  'S I know now we don't. Want him now?
• 1:06:23
  There's no reason for him to show.
• 1:06:25
  Up now. Forget it.
• 1:06:26
  Well, you did say that was your favorite so.
• 1:06:33
  And 2020. I know.
• 1:06:36
  Oh, you're back. That's great.
• 1:06:38
  Good for you, buddy. Anybody from NXT?
• 1:06:45
  You said Ricky Saints. We already got over Femi.
• 1:06:48
  Which they you know, according to Wikipedia, he's unaffiliated,
• 1:06:54
  so he hasn't gotten a contract from either Raw or Smack Down,
• 1:07:00
  but they say he's coming. Wow and TNA.
• 1:07:09

  Knockouts champ is for the women?
• 1:07:46
  No, because usually that's who comes up, you know, whoever the
• 1:07:54
  the champion is. Because remember, Naomi came
• 1:07:56
  when she was the Knockouts champion.

  Like who could show up as Frankie Azarian, Michael

  time. The 39th annual Royal Rumble
• 1:17:05
  goes down Saturday, January 31st, 2026 live from the King
• 1:17:08
  Abdullah Financial District in Riad, Saudi Arabia as part of
• 1:17:12
  Riot Season. The kickoff starts at 12:30 PM
• 1:17:15
  Eastern, 9:30 AM Pacific and Eleven, 11:30 AM for me.
• 1:17:21
  Yes. And then 12:12 for me, with the
• 1:17:23
  main card rolling shortly after. So set the reminder.
• 1:17:27
  Get ready for that count of clock to hit 0, because no
• 1:17:32
  matter how old we get, there's still something about the room
• 1:17:35
  that takes us right back. Back to sitting on the floor too
• 1:17:39
  close to TV. Back to arguing about who drew
• 1:17:42
  the worst #1 or 30. Back to that's Flint.
• 1:17:45
  Second, when the buzzer hits and you swear to the year you your
• 1:17:49
  pick finally wins on this day I see clearly.
• 1:18:00
  Next episode we're switching gears, diving deep into Teenage
• 1:18:02
  Mutant Ninja Turtles movie nostalgia with more deep dive on
• 1:18:05
  the way, a future episode all about third places and how to
• 1:18:08
  start a podcast Part 2 coming soon.
• 1:18:12
  Also, I'm gonna repurpose an old episode, gonna get all the
• 1:18:21
  transcripts and everything and it's gonna be episode 79.
• 1:18:25
  OK. If you remember what that is, it
• 1:18:27
  is one of the true crime episodes that I did back then.
• 1:18:31
  Oh, OK, it is. What is it called?
• 1:18:35
  Oh my gosh, it's the wrestling scissors and chaos episode.
• 1:18:42
  It's the one with Sid Vicious versus Arne Anderson.
• 1:18:46
  OK, 1983 when they had. The the scissor fight.
• 1:18:51
  Yes, I remember that one now. So I'm going to redo it again
• 1:18:56
  and I'm like, put a little spin of this, you know, and it's just
• 1:19:04
  and it's going to be another not a solo episode, but it's just
• 1:19:07
  going to be one of those episodes where we just talk
• 1:19:08
  about it and stuff. OK, So yeah, that's going to be
• 1:19:11
  fun to do again. That's.
• 1:19:13
  Cool. All right, before we really go,
