Who question is, oh you When I talk to her, I would give

0:18
can't. What do you guys want to talk about God at deep and the
0:32
colored red in a world with a black and white n eat us of world?
0:41
Yeah, don't you some l there's not extreme the chap. What's bad?
1:02
You got a bad? Sha, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
1:26
children of all ages, Welcome back to another episode of PCW podcast Championship
1:32
Wrestling. I am your host, Wayne also known as Semi Dry Chicken,
1:36
and you are my peeps, and we are having a very special episode.
1:41
Uh. We're not doing a pay per view. We're not covering uh predictions,
1:46
We're not doing a post review of a pay per view. We're not
1:49
even doing an old pay per view. Why it's because the holidays are right
1:53
around the corner, and everybody's busy. Everybody's got ship to do. And
1:57
I'm not gonna make the pc W crew sit there and watch old pay per
2:02
views or any any other homework. I should say, it's like a pc
2:09
W vacation. We're gonna sit back and just shoot the ship. So let
2:14
me bring in the commentaries. Here we go, dra my right hand man.
2:47
What's up, bud yo yo pc W crew Right, dude, Well,
2:55
you know we we decided to record on like an odd day. This
2:59
is from SmackDown's actually on right now and normally I have it on on the
3:02
side, but I'm having some technical difficulties. So whatever happens on SmackDown,
3:07
something big happens, And if you guys are watching, let me know.
3:10
You know, we'll stop the whole show, pump the brakes, breaking news,
3:15
you know, be my informants, be my ears, be my eyes.
3:20
I have no idea what's going on in the SmackDown world. I'll probably
3:22
find out afterwards on social media. So far, one thing that's happened is
3:27
the tribal chief came out to open the show. Apparently he has declared solo
3:32
his heir apparent and the next travel chief in line, and much to Jimmy
3:38
Usso's chagrin, and then Randy Orton music hit and you started making his way
3:44
to the ring and they cut a commercial Wow of course, of course,
3:50
and that's the first. Like it's already been twelve minutes in a two hour
3:53
show, and most of it's probably been walking just all entrance. But speaking
3:59
of Entrance and and just like Roman Reigns, you know who's barely on the
4:02
show. Uh, we're also bringing our guy who's barely on the show,
4:08
filling in for Doyle step On. Gonna be standable, Man. I walked
4:34
to this day like a run this man of a kid. Finally, Look
4:40
who's back, Dave? Who's going out? Man, it's been it's been
4:48
a long time since you've been on. I know you're a busy man,
4:51
a father of many children. Here, you're always busy. Uh, so
4:57
you know to get you always have a quiet house. So you are currently
5:01
recording in the trunk of a Cadillac. Well no, but man, we'll
5:12
make the best of it all right. Oh yeah, this isn't an important
5:17
episode at all. It's just shooting the ship. You know, we got
5:20
we got really no agenda. Uh, Dave, did you know that we
5:26
have a store on Pro Wrestling Teas? I did not, Man, Geez,
5:33
what hell have you? What the hell? Your pal? Like?
5:38
Yeah, we got our store. We got shirts. I mean, I'm
5:42
we're already selling shirts. The original logo ones have been selling. We also
5:46
have a d X version. We have a n W O version, and
5:51
we have one if you're just if you're just a peep, you know,
5:55
you just you just want to get a plain old peep shirt. But uh,
5:59
more shirts definitely on the way for sure. So indeed, I know
6:03
you got a big family man, so you know, it's a lot of
6:06
shirts you gotta put in at or you know, I order him in bulk,
6:12
you know who, don't rewatch them, just buy a new one every
6:15
time. You know, I'll definitely look into that moment, you know.
6:20
I literally just came back from Vegas forward, you know what I mean.
6:24
So yeah, yeah, I heard you're you're on the road a line.
6:28
Uh you know too mad. There's not like local wrestling in the area when
6:34
you were in Vegas, right, well but not really, but I wanted
6:40
to. I basically just was watching everything from me at least I got to
6:44
watch the you know, Monday Nights roll and all that stuff while I was
6:47
out there, and I wanted to see if it was something out there because
6:51
the guy that I won't with out there, you always ask me about the
6:57
I could have worked sometimes and the next morning I came walk bar at night,
7:00
yeah, in the morning, So I have to watch everything from my
7:04
freaking computer in the morning time, you know what I mean. So,
7:09
oh yeah, I'm the same way. Like my work schedule has changed,
7:13
so uh the normal of staying up till eleven o'clock to watch Monday Night Raw,
7:18
I just can't do it anymore. Like I gotta be up at like
7:21
three thirty in the morning, so show that gets done at like eleven o'clock
7:26
night. I'm just it's just it's I try, and it sucks because like
7:30
I'll start watching it and I'm like active in the discord and you can always
7:35
tell when I fall asleep because I just don't. I just stop responding because
7:40
I'll be like, oh, man, you guys watching this match. You
7:42
watched this match, and then uh, all of a sudden, like you
7:45
don't hear nothing from me for like the next like two hours because I passed
7:48
out. But I always catch it on like Hulu or you know. I
7:55
like, you spend five minutes on the toilet, you know, on social
7:59
media in the morning, and you'll catch up on everything, you know.
8:03
I saw that Maxine guy, I saw that, and I didn't even see
8:11
the match, but I'm just gonna assume it was Sloppy's health. It absolutely
8:15
was. You can tell that Maxine is still very very green in the ring.
8:20
Yeah, they just had one. It wasn't really a long match at
8:24
all, but there was one noteworthy botch where I guess Rear was going for
8:30
a power slam that Maxine was supposed to counter, and some people were saying
8:35
that Rea lost her grip when she went to go pick her up or something,
8:39
but she tried to pick her up and they missed it and she dropped
8:41
her and they went forward again and she was counted into her hur conrado from
8:48
Maxine. But it just looked a total mess. So yeah, it was
8:52
not a great match at all, and not even Ria could carry Maxine through
8:56
it. Yeah. Yeah, reminds me of Lana in the ring. Alana
9:03
was we were started out, you know what I mean, like all showing
9:09
no go you know, like just a really good looking eye candy to go
9:16
with the wrestlers, nice valet, hot valet, and you know just sometimes
9:22
it just doesn't work, like you know, with the skill it's just not
9:24
there. I mean, this is like the like the attitude there where we
9:28
could get like like of the rosters just all good looking model women, but
9:33
none of them wrestle worth a damn except two women. But luckily we don't
9:37
have to. Well, honestly, I think that's the I think that's one
9:41
of the reasons that they started to uh get athlete now, you know what
9:46
I mean, Like most of the people they brought in lately are some type
9:50
of athlete, you know what I mean. They have an athletic background now,
9:54
so they're not just I feel the mean, what's the tournament called the
9:58
next year now, breakout start, Yeah, something like that. Yeah,
10:03
all of them, Like if you look at all their bios, they're all
10:07
from some type of college or athletic background, you know what I mean.
10:13
They all played basketball, did track and field or something. Yeah, And
10:18
I think that's where it is. So unless they get these good look at
10:20
people who want to be managers maybe you know what I mean, that in
10:24
the background, which that's cool, but I see where they're trying to go
10:28
with the whole you know, have an athletic background. It makes sense.
10:33
Yep, yep, I agree. And to that point, really does Maxine
10:39
Dupre have to wrestle? I think the women's roster is deep enough to where
10:45
not every woman on the roster has to be a wrestler. If they have
10:48
more, if their talents live more, and just personality and maybe on the
10:52
mic and stuff, then just let them be a manager. Let them do
10:56
that and let them just occasionally maybe getting a alla Stephanie McMahon or something like
11:01
that, who nobody ever thought was an actual wrestler, But she was still
11:05
perfectly fine as an authority figure of just an on air personality, and that's
11:11
more of Magazine's forte. Then she's just let her do that and don't try
11:16
to force wrestling on her if if it's not her app if that's not where
11:22
her aptitude is matches like that, let me ask you, guys, Lana,
11:30
what what do you think was her peak? Like when I say,
11:33
Lana, what do you think her peak was? Was it as a wrestler
11:37
or was it being you know, Russo's manager along with him going to WrestleMania
11:41
in a tank against John Cena, you know, as manager? Yeah,
11:46
that was her peak as a manager. It's like there's just some people just
11:52
just manager like. She'll figure it out. She's got she's got a fair
11:58
She made the cut this year because we lost a lot of people this year,
12:03
like the roster getting cut and so she's lucky she's even there along with
12:07
like Tsawa, and you know what it is weird today, I was thinking
12:13
about it at work. You know, I have a lot of me time
12:16
at work to just like let my mind wander. So I'm just like thinking
12:20
about all these wrestlers who have kind of like are still on the roster,
12:26
but I haven't seen him in a long time. And there they haven't gotten
12:31
let go this year, which is surprising to Mina. I'm just gonna rat
12:37
off some names. O'dissey Jones. He got signed from NXT A wile ago.
12:43
It was a big man. I was excited to see him on the
12:46
main roster. Apollo Cruise, Chante Donnas, Dexter Loomis, Alba Fire and
12:54
Easil Dawn Omas MVP the OC and most importantly, it's kind of weird this
13:05
year but we haven't gotten a lot of brock Lessen there less he's been gone
13:09
for a while and and they're like, I'm kind of I'm kind of like
13:13
I could kind of see Brock. I mean, he kind of left after
13:16
his few to Cody, but I kind of could see Brock with something.
13:20
I want to see brock Verst Scooter that's that's what I want to see him
13:24
back for it. And well, yeah, a lot of those people that
13:28
are missing for various different reasons, like somebody like you can't really compare somebody
13:33
like brock Lessner to like rock Lessons of feature attraction that they bring in when
13:39
they need a pop in ratings or they need to give or they want to
13:41
give somebody the rub, or they need a feature program because you can almost
13:45
guarantee brock letters Rock Lessons is going to return next year around the time of
13:48
the Rumble. Now to me, the yeah, I don't know if she's
13:54
just there for legacy reasons, or maybe she does pr stuff for them,
13:58
or maybe she's helping down in the performance center training or what. She's clearly
14:05
not being used as an on air as an active wrestler on the roster,
14:09
and hasn't been for quite some time. And somebody like Omas, who know,
14:13
again, he's more of a feature thing too, and without any real
14:18
reason that he suffers from the same problem that every big guy suffers from.
14:24
If you don't have any personality and you're not really getting over with the audience,
14:26
think you're just a big guy and the only real purpose he show is
14:30
just to show up, maybe squash every now and then and maybe get into
14:35
a noteworthy feud every now and then. Other than that, yeah, there's
14:39
really nothing. Omas doesn't really have a spot on the roster. There's nothing
14:43
really for him to do it. He'd probably be in the same lane as
14:46
a Bronze Strowman if it wasn't for the fact that bron Stroman is out with
14:48
a neck injury and Audise kind of connects with braun Stroman more. But there's
14:52
still all that in that same vein of just people who don't have much of
15:00
a purpose. You know, I always think, I always think like,
15:03
why don't you know, let's say it's us, you know, and where
15:07
these people, these dry people who are on the mic. Wonda Rouse included,
15:13
why why don't they ever take their money and go take acting? Classic
15:18
like like why don't you like do everything you gotta do. I'm pretty sure
15:22
maybe some of you do. But yeah, but when you look at like
15:30
DEEVS Member told Davis, remember how you used to see the background, and
15:33
you know, they all talked about how Maddie was that great on the mic
15:37
and stuff like that. She had other people trying to teach her like me
15:43
and myself, I would be taking my money because I wanted to be better,
15:46
and I would go out there and I would take some acting classes like
15:50
you know what, I like, I would do that like that made the
15:52
rock better, That made all those people who are you know, are being
15:58
becoming more more gifted to make this solf better in that way? Not sure.
16:07
And for somebody who's still trying to prove themselves or is still trying to
16:10
make it, that would be considered a worthwhile investment for them, to excuse
16:15
me, investing like acting classes or something to try to improve their abilities on
16:21
the MIC or try to improve their character performance. But somebody like Ronda Rousey
16:25
was already a made man before she ever stepped foot in the WW so for
16:29
her, she had no real reason to do so. She came in immediately
16:33
booked as one of the top women wrestlers, stayed there pretty much the whole
16:37
time. There was no reason for her to improve. She had no reason
16:41
to, and that was evident in her second run that she had shown no
16:45
improvement over her first run, which had gone over much better even with her
16:51
limitations. But when she came back the second time around, she showed no
16:55
development, no improvement. If anything, she had regressed some And that's just
16:59
a clear kind of no of not putting the work in in the time that
17:03
she was off and she had no reason to, she had no need to.
17:08
Well, you know who's a perfect example of like somebody who took acting
17:12
classes and their character has actually improved since they've been in the company. Chelsea
17:18
Green hurt like she's got let go before she came back. And out of
17:25
the handful of people that triple It's brought back, including guys like Carrying Cross
17:30
and uh oh god, what was that that three that three person group with
17:37
top Dollar and then hit people like hit Row and stuff back. But out
17:41
of those groups of people he brought back that year, Chelsea Green has probably
17:47
been the most one of the most successful ones. And like she has improved
17:52
as a character because she takes acting classes. And like, I mean,
17:56
people, why hate Chelsea Green? She annoyed the ship out of me.
18:00
Every time she's on you know, I see her on screen, I'm like,
18:03
yeah, that's her job, Like she's doing her job right, Yeah.
18:07
Yeah, there's a difference like when you know, like it's because even
18:11
my girlfriend does it. Like there's certain characters. She's like, well,
18:15
I don't like this person. They're annoying me, or like the first real
18:18
Dick. I'm like, yeah, that's their job, Like they're a heel
18:21
or they're supposed to be like a Karen or you know, an asshole type
18:26
heel. Like they're doing their job, you know. But then you got
18:32
like guys like poor you know Signe note here, poor Bobby Lashley. This
18:37
man got a nice stable gone, you know, straight profits are with him.
18:44
It might even get to a bigger stable down the road, we don't
18:47
know. I'm really excited for these guys, but like they're supposed to be
18:51
heels. But Bobby Lashly is like like super Babyface right now with the fans,
18:57
like that man is always getting weird. I can get to that in
19:03
a second before I go in on that though, just as a sidebar on
19:07
SmackDown right now, a match we've got that that US number one contenders have
19:15
going on. We currently have uh Grayson Waller in a match against and XTS
19:22
Carmelo Hayes. Yes, Carmelo Hayes is getting some shine up there on the
19:29
main roster, getting competing in this tournament. I knew he was coming to
19:33
that he was talking about that. Yeah, they annow. I think Sean
19:37
and Shawn Michaels had announced it on on Twitter maybe like a week ago,
19:42
so thinking I didn't know if he was gonna come last week. So this
19:48
week that match is happening now, curious to see how far Carmelo goes.
19:55
I hope he wins this match and he gets to shine in more than just
19:56
one match. Yeah, so someone tells me that they're kind of more big
20:02
or they're bigger on Grayson Waller, and I feel like he's probably gonna end
20:03
up winning. Yeah, has a story in NXT right now to finish,
20:11
you know what I mean. He's inn He's in a deep storyline right now.
20:15
So we're trying to see where that storyline is going in the NFT and
20:18
I believe, I believe this is the this is when, this is how
20:22
they're gonna let go of him from NXT. By letting him, He's going
20:26
to do his dep with his best friend and put his best friend over,
20:30
and then he's gonna go to the mini roster after after he puts his boy
20:34
over. I think that's what he's trying to do right now. Bronson Reed
20:40
is still in NXC because I was I was listening to our Slam Awards from
20:47
last year because I want to do an award, another Slam Awards at some
20:51
point. Whether it's whether it's like late, you know, early early January,
20:56
or you know that small window after Christmas. Either way, we'll get
21:00
it in, we'll send it out and you guys will enjoy it. But
21:03
I'm listening to the old one, you know, because it's gonna be our
21:07
second annual and continuity and all that shit, but like just listening to it,
21:12
like some of the things we predicted, Like it's crazy how a lot
21:17
of it hasn't worked out, and there is a oh my god, Jay,
21:21
you have to go back and listen to it. There's a segment where
21:22
we talk about seeing punk and coming back to the company, and you're like,
21:29
you guys are just like, no, I don't think it's gonna happen.
21:32
He's too much trouble. And I'm listening to it because I'm just like,
21:36
oh, it could happen, and I'm just like thinking to myself,
21:38
he's the son of a bitch. One year, like almost a year later,
21:42
son up a bitch. If only, like I place some money on
21:47
that kind of shit, but it is it is actually nice. We are
21:51
at that point in this podcast where we can go back and listen to like
21:56
maybe like two three years worth of stuff at some point, but right now
22:00
it's like a year year and a half. But we can go back and
22:03
listen to two Survivor series episodes now and more games. And now we're gonna
22:07
do another slammy. What you know, it's just coming. We're looping around
22:12
now, we're going, you know, second lap, and I kind of
22:17
like revisiting some old episodes like that. Uh, you know, Dave's audio
22:22
was way better. He wasn't in the trunk of a car. It was
22:25
awesome, the good old days. You know, we have we have things
22:29
that we can go back on. Yeah, you go track track all words
22:33
and what we've said since then. Oh yeah, like there's there once.
22:37
There's a rumor, but there there once was an original episode never aired because
22:42
of audio issues. But some say there's just three men just talking about wrestling
22:48
to nobody, having a good time, good practice, good drive run.
22:53
It was a good drive run, but we had fun. Yeah, So
22:59
back what we were originally saying before we took that sidebar about Lashly and the
23:04
Street Profits and this whole thing about how ww's booking them. And I think
23:12
I've talked about this in the discord, I've talked about this on social media
23:17
before, and it makes I don't understand why they're trying to force a square
23:23
peg into a round hole, because you could tell from the moment they got
23:29
together, from the moment they even teased it that the fans were cheering it.
23:33
From the very beginning, they were all for it. They were like
23:37
the second they saw Bobby Lashley pull up in that limo and tell the Street
23:41
Profits again, and everybody was like, hell yeah, hell yeah, let's
23:45
do this. Because and whether they whether they're trying to deviate away from it
23:52
or whatever they're trying to do, everybody knows. Everybody looks at them basically
23:56
the same way has Hit Hurt Business two point zero. That's basically even if
24:03
they're not that and officially, to a certain extent, that's how all the
24:08
fans are looking at them, because fans never really got a chance to really
24:14
appreciate Hurt Business in a live format. That was a clique that was running
24:19
basically during the pandemic when they were doing the Thunderdome shows and all that,
24:23
So we never really got to enjoy that that faction, and we never really
24:29
got to see them fully realize. And then they were just just as fans
24:33
were starting to return to Arenas, they broke them up, seemingly out of
24:37
nowhere for no fucking reason whatsoever. So fans have been clamoring for that,
24:44
to see that type of faction come together again or something similar to it and
24:49
get the legitimate run that people feel that they deserve. So we see Street
24:57
profits Tag team that's been over with the fans for a while and Bobby Lashley,
25:03
one of the top stars in the company, seemingly come together. Yeah,
25:07
everybody's gonna get hella hype for that. People want to see that.
25:10
People want to see them have a strong run. People want to see them
25:14
become one of the top factions in the WWE. And people are cheering for
25:18
it because they like both of them. They want to see them successful.
25:19
And on another note, when the fuck have we ever had a all black
25:25
babyface faction in the WWE New Day Yeah, them eventually got over after being
25:33
heels for the longest, and they are I guess they are a faction,
25:40
but they're almost kind of more of a tag team, even though it's three
25:44
of them. They're kind of almost more like a tag team, but like
25:47
an actual click, an actual faction with bona fide singles or in or tag
25:53
team stars like that. We've never had that. We had the Nation of
25:57
Domination, which were heels, and like I said, we've had like you
26:02
mentioned, we've had New Day, which is a faction slash tag team because
26:07
pretty much their whole run has basically been tag team wrestling other than Kofe's uh
26:12
shining moment at kofee Mania and Big E getting his brief run with the title.
26:19
You know what, You're right though, like when when you said how
26:22
the hurt business, like you know, their their business got hurt during the
26:29
pandemic, Like I think if it wasn't the pandemic, I think they would
26:33
have thrived better because like dude, remember when when they were when they took
26:40
out retribution, like they had the whole retribution thing, and then like you
26:45
know, I forget who it was, Like was it like Kurt Angle or
26:48
whoever the excuse me general manager was got got a hold of like, oh,
26:53
we're going to hire somebody to handle it, and they maybe it was
26:56
Adam Pierce and then they had you know, her business come out like take
27:02
out retribution. I thought it was a badass moment. But like I would
27:07
say, you know, during the pandemic, like wrestlers like Bailey was another
27:11
one who suffered from that. Like she was like carrying the women's division during
27:18
that time in the pandemic, holding the title. And I remember then she
27:22
got injured as soon as fans came back. Oh my god, that sucks.
27:27
And you know, the biggest one I think Walgreen is Drew McIntyre.
27:32
The man won his first heavyweight title being prot His wrestlemating moment happened in front
27:37
of nobody. God, you're angry, Drew, I understand, but can't
27:45
be taken out on everybody. You can't play more kicking the ship out people,
27:48
especially jay Uso. You the people. People want to want to cheer
27:55
for them, They want to see them. They they want to see Bobby
27:59
and the proper. If it's get a push like what Bloodline has gotten,
28:03
well, like what Judgment Day is getting. But WW seems to want to
28:07
force this heel thing on him and fans are rejecting it and now they're and
28:14
because of that they seems like they're just spinning wheels with no direction in WW
28:19
doesn't seem to know what to do with them. Because WW wants to make
28:22
them heels, fans want to cheer them. Now they don't know what the
28:26
fuck to do with them. Then they throw beef ab in there for god
28:30
knows what reason, and they ain't done nothing with that since. And that
28:37
just seems more like it seems like somebody just was in the production meeting or
28:41
in the creative meeting and said, hey, everybody seems to like that hurt
28:45
business thing from a while back, Let's do that but different. And then
28:49
somebody was like okay, and then no other thought was put into it,
28:57
like that was the beginning and end of the creative process, and they've just
29:00
been throwing ship at the wall since then. Shame. Oh, I do
29:10
have a question for the episode. Uh, let me let me just play
29:15
her bumper and I'll because it's Andrew. Of course, it's Andrew always writing
29:18
into the show. I let me play a bumper here. Do you like
29:27
to answer a question right at this particular time? Would you like to do
29:30
that? I want to ask you a bunch of questions I wanted to have
29:38
them answered immediately. Can I ask you a question, man, question?
29:45
I'm sorry about that, all right? Uh. Andrea asked, Hey,
29:55
guys, I saw h on a Instagram photo that Becky and Seth Rollin's contracts
30:02
are up to expire. Do you guys think they'll re sign or go somewhere
30:07
else? Uh, They'll they'll resign. Uh. Yeah, It's crazy to
30:18
think that they would ever leave. We're very happy where they're at. I
30:25
uh, I think they probably get paid very well. And the fact that
30:29
they always get to be on the same show, and and they both are,
30:33
you know, main eventors of most pay per views. Yeah, I
30:37
don't see them going anywhere anytime soon. Well, no, they're not going
30:41
anywhere. They're both at the top of the biggest wrestling company in the world.
30:48
Yes, why and guys think would they go anywhere else? Hey?
30:51
Hunt? As long as one of us are holding some gold, you know
30:52
we're making good money, right. If anything, they're both do for I
30:56
don't know how w W contracts work in comparison to other sports, but if
31:00
they're anything remotely like other sports, they're both due for a raise. Mm
31:07
hmm. To be and to be honest with like from what I heard how
31:11
Seth was talking in interviews. He's gonna soon be doing more movies and stuff
31:18
like that. So after Seth dropped his belt, we might not see suff
31:21
for a while, but he might be because yeah, and Becky, and
31:26
who knows, Becky probably got suffer workally too, So yeah, if you
31:30
know they're they're they're probably gonna be. Seth's gonna be branching out. This
31:33
last character he's done has helped him, you know, I mean, progressing
31:38
to people seeing him as a good actor, you know what I mean.
31:42
So he's probably Yeah, that's that's that's possible as possible. He's got that
31:49
role coming up in What Captain America movie, which we still have to see
31:53
it to see if he's any good and what his potential as I'm sure he
31:56
may have made some a good IMPRESSI and possibly on some people in Hollywood.
32:01
But even with them possibly pursuing other interests, that's the don't mean they're gonna
32:07
let them contracts aspiring in w W. Damn sure, ain't about to let
32:10
them contracts expire. They're going to stay right there because that's where they listen.
32:17
They know that w W is the place to be wrong. And if
32:21
you want to make you they ain't gonna make the money they make it or
32:23
none of the other stuff anywhere else. They're not gonna going to do that.
32:28
And I think that the way Seth talks about w W, he's a
32:31
lifer. He's a lifer. He wants to you know what I mean,
32:37
that's where he wants it to be. And I think that I don't think.
32:43
I don't think the man man, That's what I'm Yeah, you know
32:52
of anybody, those two deserve like time off, like especially right after WrestleMania.
33:00
Excuse me, yeah, like the work horses, especially since being the
33:05
champion as long as he's been so whoever he loses it to like for for
33:09
being the first world champion of that new title. He put some lineage,
33:16
better lineage to it, he puts some uh I it's up the part.
33:22
I still think with what Roman has, like, I take that title serious
33:25
now a stature. I still think the feuds were kind of some of them
33:31
were a bit lacking, but he did he did his part for legitimizing that
33:37
title and making it mean something. Yeah, because we thought a lot of
33:42
us thought he would would have been the guy too, that's the title that's
33:46
going to get passed around a lot, you know. That's that's what I
33:50
thought this was gonna be. This was gonna be. Yeah, every other
33:52
pay per view, we might see this title get dropped, get rotated out,
33:57
fresh faces getting the world title runs. Everybody's gonna kind of get one
34:01
and done and get like a WWE world title under their belt. No,
34:06
it's not the case. Seth has beaten a lot of guys in front of
34:09
him, ones that I think a lot of us probably thought that Seth might
34:15
not walk out a champion. And we're rolling around to you know, the
34:21
Rumble and WrestleMania season. So if anybody was interested, a lot of people
34:30
who don't know but Sampunk and Seth Rollins they have fought before, and also
34:37
seampunk and Roman reigns and seampunk and what used to who used to be Dean
34:45
Ambrose. So back to twenty thirteen is when Punk feuded with the Shield.
34:52
It was like that real sweet spot where it was right before he left and
34:57
the Shield was coming in fresh Uh. I think at the time Dean Ambrose
35:01
was like the United States Champion. But do you guys remember that feud dre
35:08
do you remember that feud at all watching during that time. So no,
35:13
okay, uh, Dave, do you remember that? Of course? So
35:21
Punk left, man, yeah left? Uh there's I know there was a
35:27
handicap match out of pay per view as Punk versus the entire Shield, but
35:30
before that, Punk kind of broke them down individually. And you know,
35:37
I want to play this this quick like promo because I I remembered it and
35:44
I thought about it today. I was like, damn, like, what's
35:50
up? Remember? Yeah? Punk? Remember remembering up it? I I
36:07
yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I do recall that when they you know,
36:12
rumor was going around that Punky I was the one who hired the Shield.
36:15
Yeah, I do recall that, and that definitely wasn't the case.
36:20
But yeah, let me play this out promo real quick. There we go.
36:27
Finish your thought, Punk, finish your thought. What were you gonna
36:31
say? What's your big challenge? It better be a good one. You
36:37
better give it a good reason not to end twenty thirteen by ending you right
36:43
now. Cool down. Look, the three of you can beat any one,
37:07
man. I think we've established that in the past three hundred and sixty
37:09
five days. And I'm not taking away anything from any of you as a
37:16
unit. But when I said, iron sharpens iron, I live to be
37:21
the best, and I want to fight the best one on one. So
37:27
I want to know who it's gonna be. Because out of one of you,
37:31
out of the three of you, excuse me, one of you is
37:36
the best. Oh, you want to do this again, you want to
37:42
do it again. Let's do it right now, in this time. I
37:45
promise I'm not leaving this ring without taking a piece of you with me.
37:49
Let's do it this for right now. A dean't I wasn't talking to you.
37:59
I was I was talking to Roman Reigns and seth Rollins. I've already
38:01
beaten you like half a dozen times, and what I'm saying is it wasn't
38:10
easy, but I did it. You think that's funny. No, I
38:15
think that's funny. I think the joke. Do you think I'm a joke?
38:17
You think you can talk to me like that? I just think you're
38:22
the weak link, and I want to find out who the strong one of
38:25
the shield is. Everybody says Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman reigns.
38:31
Look at me when I'm talking to you? Is it you? Are?
38:37
You? Number one in the shield. Are you the man? Let's find
38:42
out right here, right now. You want to know who the best is?
38:46
Yeah, you're looking at him. I'll fight you tonight. I'll fight
38:51
you tonight. Let's do it. It's you, because all's I ever hear
38:54
anybody talk about is Roman reigns. I'm talking about this. You don't think
38:59
I could take him? Very guys calling to its germs, that's not it.
39:04
I can't realize that. Daron, there's work. I'm just saying no
39:07
one time me tell it to me. I want to put no bones on
39:15
you my crime. I can beat him. He called himself the best in
39:20
the world. I'm better than that, and I want to prove it tonight.
39:24
You gotta step take him. Not absolutely and spoiler alert if you you
39:31
haven't seen it, Uh Seth does not win that match, so uh yeah,
39:39
go back and check it out on YouTube. Just just check out like
39:42
just put in Punk versus Seth rollins. Uh Punk versus Roman Reigns. You
39:46
should do it now before uh the actual the you know these two cross paths
39:52
now because then it's gonna get severely buried on YouTube beating you won't be able
39:58
to find it. It's it's been a while since they've they've they've you know,
40:05
touched, but uh just think about it, like how much like uh
40:10
uh change like Seth Rollins like that last time. I I also remember like
40:15
staying Punk visiting n XT when Rollins was NXC champion and Punk was w W
40:22
champion. I remember that and I was like, man, that would be
40:24
a that'd be a hell of a match. I thought that'd be a pretty
40:29
good match. But but the level that Seth is out now, it's he's
40:31
a totally different guy than when when Punk left. Totally different guy. It's
40:37
like, dude, I'm not in the shield no more. I'm better.
40:39
I'm I'm the guy who cashed in on Roman Reigns. I'm the guy who
40:43
beat you know, uh brock Lessner who beat you you know, like,
40:49
uh, you know, Roman Reigns has a lot of fucking credit. He's
40:52
not the same guy you know when Punk was there too. So like,
40:57
yeah, those two feuds going into the future, like I'm very excited about
41:00
because they're talking ten years have passed since that time, so like Punk is
41:08
past, Punk is someone who can probably maybe still go in the ring.
41:12
Really has to prove that he could still go in the ring, and most
41:15
people would probably think that Punk is past his prime, whereas Seth Rollins is
41:21
probably in his prime. So which is a far cry from twenty thirteen where
41:25
Punk was. Most people will probably have seen Punk was in his prime,
41:30
whereas Seth Rollins was still coming up still have yet to prove himself. You
41:37
still agree, Oh, yeah, for sure. So seeing Punk's first match
41:42
is going to be against Dirty Dom on December twenty sixth at a house show.
41:50
December twenty sixth at a house show, but I would saying it's not
41:55
just any house show though. It's the one at Madison Square Garden. Yeah
42:00
exactly. We're run Yeah, yeah, they're doing like an end of the
42:05
year like I guess extravaganzlo type show at Madison Square Garden. It is a
42:10
house show, but I mean it's more than just a house show, because,
42:14
yeah, seeing Punk's first match against Dirty Dom, I think Seth,
42:17
I'm not Seth. Cody Rhodes is taking on Shins Kate Knockamora in a bull
42:22
rope match at that show. So it's a house show, but it's gonna
42:27
be probably like Poe quality in terms of the matches. I have to check
42:32
out two fascinating. I'm sure, like because it's a house show, but
42:37
I'm sure we'll get footage of it. It just sucks like it's not gonna
42:43
be like a televison you think it would, like maybe like a one off.
42:46
Uh and then we're also getting in the beginning of the year, the
42:51
Game of January, we are getting Drew McIntyre versus seth Rollins for the world
42:55
title on Raw. So then and uh so, how do you guys enjoy
43:02
it? Sampunk's apology tour, because that's what it kind of seems like it
43:07
is. I never thought like this would be his character coming back, Like
43:14
he's definitely like not not not doing the heel route, because that's why I
43:17
thought he would be when he would come back, because that's what he'd left
43:22
a heel. But it's pretty much been like the apology tour, you know.
43:27
Uh, he's gone everywhere NXT to see the wrestlers. He's going the
43:30
roll, seeing some guys backstage on SmackDown and kind of bearing the hatchet,
43:36
it seems like. And he's donated like right on air with a lot of
43:38
stuff. But because like, man gotta go back and listen to that that
43:45
that last years Slammy Wars. But we guys, we talk about how bitter
43:47
and how Punk left with you know, left a bad taste in everybody's mouth,
43:53
including the fans. That just people who work there, you know,
43:57
the fans too, like you just we had this before with like Stone Cold,
44:01
Like I think it was like two thousand and two where he just picked
44:04
up his ball and just went home, and it's like, you know,
44:08
like what the fuck, Like, dude, I just bought your shirt.
44:12
I'm like a huge fan. You know, I'm going around giving everybody the
44:15
middle finger, telling my boss, you know, go fuck himself, because
44:20
that's the bottom line. Because Stone Cold said, so I'm going around stunning
44:22
people at school and now you're gonna quit. He's just gonna quit like that,
44:28
so cold it hurts. We've been to now I'm sitting there trying to
44:32
think about it though. Where was Sam Punk at this point last year?
44:37
Was he in ae w he was he was mostly Was he still like at
44:43
this point last year? Was he still just like mostly out of wrestling?
44:50
Yeah? Yeah, he had been injured because you know, like when he
44:54
came back, yeah, I was happy for that for when he came back.
44:58
You know that to a W like he came back to wrestling, not
45:00
not just you know, just anything, came back to wrestling. So I
45:05
was happy for him. I think I watched a handful of matches like his
45:08
first, like five or whatever. I didn't order any pay per views,
45:12
but whatever I could watch, I would watch. But I was just like
45:17
more excited, like, Okay, well, hopefully we get to see him
45:22
come to w W one day. Like there's some matches there I want to
45:27
see more of, Like, yeah, there's some matches I want to see
45:30
in AW, but like I'm more interested in seeing you know, punk versus
45:37
I don't know aj styles, Punk versus seth, rollins again and rowand rains
45:42
and you know, just just so many possibilities, so many good matches and
45:49
so many good fews. Oh man, you know it's a really juicy one,
45:52
the idea of Kevin Owens and see him punk. I'm waiting for that
46:00
one. You can put that motherfucker on the back burner and you can let
46:02
that thing cook on a slow burn, and that thing, no matter when
46:07
you do it, it is gonna be a good payoff. You can wait
46:08
till SummerSlam next year. I don't care. I know it's on the back
46:14
burner, and you could I think that, oh, it's such an awesome
46:16
feud, But I think they're setting the foundation for a lot of feuds because
46:23
I'm pretty sure when Punk is back, you know, not only do they
46:27
offer him like a boatload of money, but they he probably was like,
46:30
all right, like, this is a list of like wrestlers I want to
46:34
work with before I'm done, like you know, so I'm sure. But
46:39
at the same time, all of that is very much still TBD, because
46:46
there is I'm sure if Punk has his list of people he want to work
46:51
with, which I'd imagine are some Carrent stars and some up and comers that
46:57
he probably wants to work with. But this all depends on how well this
47:04
run goes, how long he what plans they have for him in terms of
47:09
is he going to be a regular full timer that we see on TV every
47:15
week or is he going to be used more as a feature attraction like Lesner
47:22
or Roman where he pops in, has a feud, then leaves for a
47:28
while. Is it going to be one of those type of things or is
47:30
he going to be you know, obviously he signed with Raws, so that
47:34
would lead us to believe that he's going to be a full timer, somebody
47:37
that we see week in and week out, but that's still to be determined.
47:42
And then there's always the prospect of injury, which with wrestlers older wrestlers
47:46
like him, which you know, kind of hard to say, are tough
47:50
to say. But he's not as he's let's just face it, he's not
47:54
a spring chicken anymore. So they're the prospect of injury is always going to
48:00
be there, especially when he's demonstrated you know that he is more injury prone,
48:05
as we saw from his aw run and the amount of time he missed,
48:08
and they're just from injury. So yeah, well I did hear that
48:13
he that he signed him multi million dollars deal multi year, Yeah, multi
48:19
year, multi million dollar So we know he's not going anywhere for a while.
48:23
Yeah, no matter how much time is he going to be active?
48:28
Yeah? I mean, like I said, I think I think he I
48:30
think he will because I think like he knows that this is his last chance
48:35
and this is his you know, this is his punk last run, you
48:37
know what I mean, So he's gonna try I think he's going to try
48:42
to get so much done within a certain amount of time, you know what
48:45
I mean, while why the fire burns, you know what I mean?
48:50
I think I think that's part of this run. I think he's going to
48:53
see the one of the best seeing punks because he seems happy, you know
48:58
what I mean. Everybody's happy at uh you know what I mean him and
49:01
he's sparking beasts, you know, just the punk that you want right here,
49:05
you know what I mean. And I don't think he's gonna I think
49:08
this is where he needs to be. These are the type of people he
49:12
needs to be around and right now, because you know, another place,
49:15
Let's think it wasn't it was a bunch of young dudes, you know what
49:21
I mean. I know, to go in there teaching and thinking people would
49:25
following them and stuff like that, helping the younger guys. But that's not
49:29
how it was, you know what I mean. Those guys, those young
49:31
guys over there, they do their thing, They do it how they want,
49:36
you know what I mean, They Boss Tony Kaye. They got more
49:37
freedom over there, you know. But I think, come in here,
49:42
Hunk this to be back around guys like Randy Orton, all these dudes like
49:46
Cody's here, you know what I mean, Like just just guys that are
49:52
are like him on some of the same level as him, you know.
49:54
So he now he said he would come back if it meant something, just
50:00
would mean something, and he has all these matches that could mean something right
50:02
now. Yeah, because all that he left behind on his level now so
50:08
now he has woo that he's the best by going through. So this is
50:15
gonna be a crazy, crazy run. And I can't wait to see you.
50:19
I just hope he I hope things out well. Yeah, but that's
50:21
where that's why I bring up the possibility of injury, just because of that
50:25
the very things that you bringing up, the fact that he may feel like
50:29
he has to prove something, all that he's so much that he wants to
50:30
do, and he tries to do too much of too much of it at
50:35
once, or he tries to go after it all at the same time at
50:37
once and just you know, try to run this gauntlet of like I want
50:40
to work with this star, then that star, then this star, then
50:43
that star, and jump from one star to the next and all these feuds
50:45
and then boom next he's injured and now he's out for a few months.
50:52
And you know, I think me personally, if it was me, I
50:57
think he would be best used as a fee your attraction. I think it'd
51:01
be better if they he's brought in for high profile feud and then let then
51:08
leave them off TV for a few weeks, not you know, let them,
51:14
let them, let let people not. That's how you slow burn it
51:17
and you keep from burning out too fast, because right now we're still in
51:22
the honeymoon phase. Everybody loves him, everybody's happy to see him. You
51:27
know, he's getting massive pops every time he shows up, and we're still
51:30
basically building to his first televised match and when that's whenever that's gonna happen.
51:36
But and whatever feud that's gonna be that he's in with, which we don't
51:42
know if that's going to be Seth Rollins or not. They've just teased it.
51:45
The only thing that we know definitively as far as television for uh Seeing
51:50
Punk is that he's going to be in the Rumble, and he's teased the
51:53
prospect of going after Seth Rollins should he win the Rumble. But there's still
51:59
plenty of feuding and stuff to happen between now and then so or at least
52:06
one noteworthy feuds that happen between now and then. So we still got to
52:08
see what he can actually do in the ring, because if he has them,
52:12
which I'd imagine is part of the reason why they're having him have this
52:15
match with Dom and a house show, just so he can got to shake
52:17
off the ring whurest they can get a sense of where he's at, what
52:21
he can do. Put him in the ring with somebody who can who's a
52:23
good worker, and who he can look good against, and then they'll have
52:29
a better sense of Okay, what can he do in the ring, what
52:31
he can't do, how does he feel. Let him get you know,
52:35
get his feet wet, basically back in the WWE style of wrestling, and
52:40
they can go from there. And also, like I said, a match
52:45
like the Rumbles also a match where he can he doesn't have to do all
52:50
the work. I'm sure he's gonna have a strong showing in the Rumble,
52:52
but he'll also be able to pace himself and you know, share that workload
52:58
with you know, six seven, eight other people in the ring at a
53:01
time until he So it probably comes down to my guess is he's one of
53:07
the final four, which would probably be like him going through Cody and somebody
53:13
else, like if yeah, l A. Knight or Jay Us or somebody.
53:19
So, could you imagine if Cody threw Punk out it was down to
53:23
them too? Can you imagine like the heat that Cody would probably get throwing
53:28
Punk out or vice versa. So you're gonna have to have a third party,
53:36
just a throwaway like, uh, what big guy could you put in
53:40
the final four? Yeah? There, you got perfect right. You can
53:46
almost guarantee if not both Yeah going thro and Cody were the last two last
53:52
year, so you can almost guarantee, and they both ain't you know,
53:54
took a step back since then, You almost guarantee that they'll be in the
53:58
final four this year. Man, Yeah, Gunter eliminated is one of them?
54:01
Good? Or like eliminates l A. Night or dude. I'm so
54:06
excited for the Rumble, Like every year, I'm excited this year. I
54:13
think Attitude era wrestler wise, I was thinking about it. Recently re signed
54:19
Kevin Shamrock. What the hell chances do you think there are of Kevin Shamrock
54:24
appearing the twenty twenty four Royal Rumble. I don't know. I don't know
54:31
what. I don't know what type of physical condition Ken SHAMROCK's in. But
54:36
if he's in any type of decent condition, I can see him making a
54:38
one of those, you know, surprise retro appearances in the Rumble. I
54:43
can see it happening. Dave, is Kevin Shamrock a brutal old man or
54:49
do you think he could still go for a royal Rumble appearance? I mean
54:54
when it comes to when it comes to somebody like Shamrock, I mean,
55:00
listen, it's hard to say what he's not gonna do because he was always
55:04
so great at what he does, you know what I mean, Shacks is
55:08
excellent man when it's something so I think I think it'll be one one of
55:14
those, you know, just coming and rumble. He's just there to,
55:16
you know what I mean, maybe do a little Shambock stuff, make it,
55:20
you know, go crazy a little bit, and he'll get kicked out
55:22
of the ring. That's basically all he's gonna have to do is take a
55:24
couple of bumps and he's out of the ring. You know what I mean.
55:28
Its kind of like, what do you know? So it's I don't
55:32
I don't see him being in there too long, or that it's just a
55:37
it's just a one off and he's gonna come in. You know, he
55:39
probably just wants to do it. If this is probably his can't before maybe
55:44
getting into the Hall of Fame or something like that. You know, that's
55:49
that's probably because he deserves it. They'll probably give it to him before he
55:52
well, I hope we didn't give it to him before he passes away,
55:54
because this is what they needed, these guys, they flowers before they passed
55:59
away, you know what I mean, because he deserves it. I think
56:02
it's gonna be one of those you're bringing him in about Big Knowledge kid k
56:07
Shamrock fifty nine right now, I don't know. He's only like six one
56:14
twelve pounds. He's not just as I thought he was. I thought he
56:17
was a lot larger. Huh he's still amon looking. Oh yeah, oh
56:25
yeah, for sure. I still you know, uh, you know that
56:31
that's been cool. Ken Shamrock and like brock Lessner in his prime, like
56:35
you know, that would have been a pretty good match, mm hmm uh
56:40
yeah. I think they there was at one point he was going to be
56:45
offered the the w WF title and then he and then he left. Yeah,
56:52
he went back. Yeah that's that's another Yeah, another guy who just
56:57
never held the main time. Probably kind of ad decent on a short one,
57:02
but m hmm, yeah, well you know that's that's basically what's going
57:09
down. Man. It would be good to see Shamrocks out there, and
57:14
I wouldn't be surprised if they use him behind behind, uh, you know,
57:19
to help out in the generation was fine and then you know all that
57:25
this stuff. I would love to see him. I would love to see
57:29
Kim Shamrock uh come out as a as like a mentor to Gable Chad Gable,
57:37
I mean, and make Gable because Gable is awesome. I'm sorry,
57:44
what's going on. I think we expected a little too much out of Kim
57:47
Shamrock. I mean, he is signed, he's he's he could probably be
57:52
one one. I don't see him as being a trainer because let's be real,
57:55
Ken Shamrock was just okay as a wrestler, and if we're looking for
58:00
somebody to be training the next generation, I want somebody who was a great
58:02
wrestler training the next generation. I don't want somebody who was just okay like
58:07
Ken Shamrock was a good featured attraction, but if we're talking about training,
58:10
no, I'd rather have a Lance somebody who could actually go and ring,
58:14
who's an actual good wrestler, like Fit Finley type or a Lance Storm type.
58:19
Them the people I want training my wrestlers, not Ken Shamrock. Ken
58:22
Shamrock was great for MMA, but he was not that great as a wrestler.
58:25
He was just okay. He can maybe have a role behind the scene
58:29
as like maybe for like health and wellness, because I'm pretty sure he's in
58:32
great shape for his agent for that part, he can have a good role.
58:36
But yeah, I'm not expecting too much out of a Ken Shamrock.
58:42
And again, he'll show open the rumble, have a nice good moment,
58:45
he'll get that good retro pop, and he'll probably be in there for all
58:49
of like two or three minutes before he gets tossed over the rope, basically
58:52
similar to what we got from Booker t last year. Oh man, this
58:55
is perfect, perfect time to use this bumper, right all right, I'm
59:04
afraid I've got some bad news. Just like Wade, I would temper my
59:08
expectations about this thing with Ken Shamrock re signing with WW like I said,
59:14
maybe something, maybe a little bit. I don't know what his interests are,
59:17
but as far as wrestling goes, like I said, maybe some training,
59:22
health and wellness, fitness and that stuff. Sure, training actual wrestling,
59:28
Eh No, I think there's better talent that can do that. Got
59:34
the breaking news, fellas Lift Morgan just got arrested. All right, I
59:38
gotta go, y'all, gotta go. My baby out. Yeah live.
59:43
Morgan was arrested yesterday at Sumter County, Florida after a traffic stop. Morgan
59:50
was arrested for possession off marijuana but not more than twenty grams, and possession
59:55
of drugs possibly synthetic cannabinoid. What oh she got? We charged? Ain't
1:00:01
shit? Mario was already bonded out. Oh yeah, dude, Like,
1:00:06
what a stupid fucking thing to be arrested for it and for them to like
1:00:08
make it like breaking news, like she was arrested for having something that's legal
1:00:14
in most of the country. I gotta get them clicks. Hey. But
1:00:17
you know what, though, cool by hanging out with Matt Riddle and Randy
1:00:22
Art. Yeah, did you think she didn't Well, no, it's just
1:00:29
it's just kinda sometimes it's nice to know certain wrestlers to do. And like
1:00:36
what I never like knowing is what professional wrestlers smokes cigarettes. I kind of
1:00:39
like never wanted to picture a professional wrestler smoking cigarettes because it's just I know,
1:00:44
it's just like a bad image. I'm like, dude, don't like
1:00:46
you're an athlete. Like, yeah, finding out a wrestler smokes cigarettes,
1:00:51
to me is more surprising than finding out they smoke weed. Yeah, yeah,
1:00:54
yeah, and yeah. I just don't especially if it's like a female
1:00:58
wrestler too. You guys remember back when uh, Dave, you might remember
1:01:04
this when ar Truth was a heel, right, I think he was a
1:01:07
heel. Wasn't like the miss This might have been around that time. Do
1:01:09
you remember when he would like take cigarettes from like people in the front row
1:01:14
and like light them and smoke them in the arena. Our Truth is that
1:01:20
goofy ass o truth. Our Truth was a heel for a hot minute.
1:01:24
That man went toe to toe with the Rock and John Cena as a survivor
1:01:29
series, like and he's he's the most I think he's like fifty four time
1:01:36
twenty four to seven champion, like props. I wouldn't be the PRIs I
1:01:43
wouldn't. Yeah, gross, Uh, I more of smoked than we know
1:01:50
than we realized. Yeah, so last year at our Slime Awards, we
1:01:54
discussed, oh my god, how time had past? We discussed how Vince
1:02:02
sold the company, and was we're gonna see less of Vince McMahon. Oh
1:02:09
my god, Like, let me just laugh it up. You know,
1:02:14
the scene less of him. Well, you know, news recently broke that
1:02:19
Vince himself said he is not going anywhere pretty much. We're gonna get Vince
1:02:24
until he is a corpse. Well, yes, you know what I mean.
1:02:37
And we already talked to him about it. Oh yeah, he could
1:02:40
think he could be He's gonna be here, he could be there. But
1:02:45
yeah, like this man had like all these sexual allegations against him last year
1:02:51
and just all this this this ship for him, like just stirring up ship
1:02:55
with this guy, right, and he sold his company for billions and still
1:03:00
gets to work for them, Like, yeah, he doesn't have as much
1:03:05
power as he used to, but the man is still his foot still in
1:03:08
the door. The man can still swipe his security pass and go places where
1:03:13
most can't. Like pretty sweet deal. Sure, sure, he has a
1:03:17
bunch of money, but he has very very little power now compared to what
1:03:22
he has because he just sold another another, and he just sold another he
1:03:28
had. Yeah, and there has been rumored for a while that they're clearly
1:03:32
trying to or t k Oo was clearly trying to move him out because I
1:03:37
don't know how the fun they didn't see this beforehand. He's a damn liability.
1:03:42
Yeah, yeah, well he didn't realize he's uh stuff. Really we
1:03:49
thought, we thought, oh yeah, he waited till then they put him
1:04:02
that they partner. Yeah, he has very little power now in terms of
1:04:10
the company itself, Like he has a position. I don't even know if
1:04:13
he still has the same position that he had beforehand. I think they quietly
1:04:17
removed him from that position. I think it's when he sold some of the
1:04:20
shares that he has. So he's just like he can sit there and say
1:04:24
that I'm gonna be around until I croak, But he has very little saying
1:04:30
that anymore since he sold the company. Yeah. Well I also read who
1:04:36
else isn't doing so high? Is adw law or is up to They were
1:04:41
up to lose thirty four million dollars this year I saw that post today,
1:04:46
I was like, oh shit, that's a lot of fucking money. It's
1:04:49
a lot of money to lose. I don't know. And I heard Aw's
1:04:55
having trouble also getting a new TV deal signed, so you know, I
1:05:03
don't know. Is it like, is the glory of AW just running out?
1:05:10
It is this company running out of gas a lot faster than we thought
1:05:14
it was gonna be. H Like now, I really think guys like Chris
1:05:20
Jericho, the Hardy Boys, Keith Lee, Alistair Black, I believe there's
1:05:28
guys who were there who are probably looking at, you know, the way
1:05:34
things have been going with Cody Rhodes and seeing Punk and keeping their eye on
1:05:41
Jade Cargil, like just seeing how they handle you know, either people coming
1:05:46
back with bad blood or just new people in general from AW. Like I'm
1:05:53
hoping that, like you know, I was thinking about with Jericho, like
1:05:57
like, man, Jericho's probably been looking seeing how handling this, and like,
1:06:00
damn, maybe I should come back to for one last run because honestly,
1:06:06
I kind of would love to see Jericho retire in w W. I
1:06:12
would like I would have liked the same thing with the Hardys, But like
1:06:15
you know's a lot of these guys are tied up into long contracts, but
1:06:18
a WS is not, I don't know, just not looking too good.
1:06:23
Maybe it's just been a bad year, you know, maybe it's just me.
1:06:28
Maybe sure it will be better. So but we live in a world
1:06:33
where the Hardy Boys and edgend Christian are on a different show, and we
1:06:40
now have Cody Rhodes and seem Punk back in the WW crazy. Yeah,
1:06:48
I would not if for any ae W haters out there, which I'm not
1:06:56
one and I don't think about, here is one I would not, but
1:07:00
money on AW stay's being numbered because they Yeah, people are thinking that it's
1:07:06
not looking good for them with WB Discovery, given that apparently Warner Brothers Discovery
1:07:13
shown some renewed interests in trying to acquire WWE. But at the same time,
1:07:19
even if that does fall apart, or if that does go that route
1:07:24
and AW finds themselves ending their relationship with Warner brother Discovery, there's gonna be
1:07:30
somebody out there who's gonna want to pick it back up. Who's gonna want
1:07:32
to pick up AAW programming. They I don't think they would struggle too hard
1:07:36
to find another home because one, there's a premium for content out there right
1:07:44
now in terms of everybody's wanting to snatch up whatever they can. And one
1:07:49
of the unique things that professional wrestling has over other content is that it's always
1:07:55
new. It's not a seasonal show. It runs pretty much fifty two weeks
1:08:00
over year. It's you always have a new episode, and it targets that
1:08:05
prime demographic that a lot of broadcasts or a lot of companies go after,
1:08:10
which is that eighteen to forty nine a demographic or eighteen to thirty nine,
1:08:15
whichever one it is, but that young demographic. Professional wrestling talent targets that
1:08:20
specifically it does well with that demographic. So just those two things alone is
1:08:27
gonna make AW programming a sought after commodity. Shap W, Warner Brothers,
1:08:33
Discovery not move forward or continue on with AW. Somebody's gonna pick them up.
1:08:40
The only question is is how much will somebody pay for it? And
1:08:45
will they fork up enough cash for AW to allow AW to become profitable,
1:08:55
because, like you said, they're slated to lose what thirty six million billion
1:09:00
dollars this year? Thirty four million Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of
1:09:03
money. Still that's a lot of a lot of money. Yeah, that's
1:09:05
still for a company of that size. Yeah, thirty four million dollars and
1:09:09
lost revenue is a is not a small chunk. Yeah. So they need
1:09:15
to get back in on in the in the red or in the black,
1:09:17
whatever one the term it is. They need to get back profitable and to
1:09:23
a certain extent, depending on the deals that WWE strikes it, it's not
1:09:30
impossible to think that AW might be able to strike a favorable deal as well,
1:09:36
if you know, almost like how you see another sports where you know,
1:09:41
one person signs for a huge contract and then that kind of sets the
1:09:46
market for other people who signed contracts. Now, that's not to say that
1:09:50
AW would could sign a deal similar to what WWE gets, not at all,
1:09:56
because they're just not in ww's league, despite what people may help for.
1:10:00
But they might be able to strike a deal, a bigger deal than
1:10:04
what they would normally get if WW hits a hits it out the park with
1:10:10
whatever contract they get or whoever they decide to sign with for raw. So
1:10:15
yeah, I wouldn't rule out. I wouldn't count a w's numbers or count
1:10:19
their days yet or think that they're finished. I think they still got plenty
1:10:23
of life left in them and still long ways from long ways from being gone.
1:10:29
I think they'll be I think they'll be just fine. They kind of
1:10:32
it's such right now because I see that they took a shot with look like
1:10:39
Kenny Omega's out indefinitely a long Yeah. Yeah, he's in the hospital right
1:10:46
now. I don't know what's going on. I just so, but he's
1:10:51
saying that he's out indefinitely. He's out, and definitely he's been diagnosed with
1:10:58
some condition. I saw them on to go, but I didn't catch the
1:11:00
name of it. But either way, I know he is one of their
1:11:04
top stars and all. But they got other people out there that they can
1:11:12
They saw Willow Spree coming next year, so you know, after his uh
1:11:20
new Japan contact up, he's all he's gonna be straight, he's gonna be
1:11:25
aldy mm hmm. So they got him, you know, they got they
1:11:30
got they got some stuff going on. Man, they just got to figure
1:11:32
it all out. Yeah, Like, they'll they'll be fine. They have
1:11:38
they have the talent, they have a roster. They just what they don't
1:11:43
see. What they really need more than anything, is just some better damn
1:11:45
booking. Yeah, they just need better writing, just to put out a
1:11:49
better procket, not just going for shock value and matches and stuff like that.
1:11:55
Like tell some actual compelling stories they hold up people on your roster and
1:12:02
not just like like you said, not just go for just shock value matches
1:12:06
all and spotfests and see how wild and crazy we can do like those eat
1:12:13
like that ship is best use sparingly. Stop trying to be twenty twenty three
1:12:17
ECW or whatever with these matches. Yeah, but you see the thing about
1:12:23
it is like the part that the the audience is different. So right now
1:12:30
Tony cal And panders to the old school like just wrestling, you know what
1:12:35
I mean, not entertainment. So the entertainment part that they're that they're holding
1:12:43
back on because they want more wrestling. And you got guys like Unius Civil
1:12:46
wrestling, he got just got wrestling, you know what I mean. That
1:12:49
they're there because they want to they want to wrestle. So when it comes
1:12:54
down to like making the storylines and all this other kind of craziness, like
1:12:59
right now, I don't know if I don't know if Nick con is not
1:13:01
bringing in great writers or like because he could easily. He has the money.
1:13:05
He can easily go get some movie writers or somebody, some top writers
1:13:11
come in there and help out with stuff. Right now. He has the
1:13:15
money, bro, So I don't you know, but I don't know if
1:13:17
he is not taking that lead, because hey, he wants to. He
1:13:23
wants it to be seen as like we are we are wrestlers here, you
1:13:27
know what I mean. And and he doesn't want to take away that part
1:13:30
of his uh because you don't see when you're looking at the crowd, there's
1:13:33
not a lot of kids, you know what I mean. Like the wwle
1:13:40
is mixed. When you look in the crowd kids, there's old people,
1:13:44
there's young people, you know what I mean. It's a mix of everybody.
1:13:47
When you look at an AW crowd, you mostly see older guys,
1:13:53
you know what I mean. Excellent like E c W. Like you see
1:14:00
those people out there because they're out there in cursing, they're doing their thing
1:14:03
and kind and all that, you know what I mean, because these are
1:14:05
the people that have missed statitude. However, you know what I mean.
1:14:10
So that's there, that's who that's who he panders you, you know what
1:14:13
I mean. So it's kind of hard to just say all right, let's
1:14:16
change over and be more like WWE, because you know, are you're gonna
1:14:20
lose those people or will let when? But would you be mad leading those
1:14:26
people in gaining more people? But nobody's saying that they should be like more
1:14:30
like WWE. We're just saying that they need to have more storylines and not
1:14:36
just rely on the same gimmicky kind of things. Like you can have storylines
1:14:43
without being WWE. I mean, w WCW back in the day had was
1:14:48
more wrestling focused than the old WWF product of the of the eighties. Like
1:14:53
that's what that was the dynamic that existed between w CW and WWF back in
1:14:58
like the late eighties and nineties. Ww was more wrestling focused, but they
1:15:02
still had room for storylines and stuff and still had decent writing. And you
1:15:08
can still do that in a w and still put on a good wrestling product
1:15:13
in the ring and just have compelling storylines to go with it, as opposed
1:15:17
to just relying on just the wrestling and then all this shock value content in
1:15:24
the ring. Yeah yeah, I think that also likes said, and also
1:15:28
building up some people on your roster and not just having this bloaded roster and
1:15:33
bunch of people just wasting away not doing anything. Like you sign these people
1:15:38
and think they're gonna be a big deal and they nothing comes about from them.
1:15:44
Remember when everybody, Remember when everybody thought Keith Lee was gonna be a
1:15:46
big deal going to AW. Look how that worked out. I thought he
1:15:58
was. I thought I knew he was better with w W. I knew
1:16:01
that would like make it, like make him look better than he does now.
1:16:06
Like I didn't think he was gonna be a big deal when Ken,
1:16:11
but everybody thought a lot of people thought that he was going to be better
1:16:14
off in AW than he was in w W because WWE was underutilizing him for
1:16:18
the talent that he had and what he could do in the ring. It
1:16:21
seemed like WWE wasn't taking advantage of that. So when he went to a
1:16:25
W, a lot of people thought like, Okay, this is gonna be
1:16:27
his chance to shine, This is gonna be his chance to showcase what he
1:16:30
can really do and become a star. Instead, he's just a guy lost
1:16:35
in the sauce on the roster. So like I don't I don't believe I
1:16:41
don't believe that with w W, though I feel like they pushed him pretty
1:16:44
fast. Like it's still people in NXT that still ain't get pushed it.
1:16:47
I feel like I feel like he got pushed. He got pushed fast.
1:16:51
He got what He's just aware. His shining moment was a stare down with
1:16:58
Rocks and the rumble. That was it man before before he got sick.
1:17:03
That wasn't w W problems. It was cod And he was sick for the
1:17:11
longest time. They know me, you know him, so they know that.
1:17:15
Oh he he he told us that he got he's sick. He didn't
1:17:17
even tell w what was going on, honestly, and then he fell ill,
1:17:23
you know what I mean. W W felt betrayed a little bit because
1:17:26
he didn't tell him what was going on. But he was out for a
1:17:30
while, bro and they were pushing him. They was they they were doing
1:17:32
those little things with Brock and everything because they wanted you to see this is
1:17:35
what the future could be like, you know what I mean. Yet he
1:17:40
wasn't there yet. But then they brought him back as Bobcat Dude. When
1:17:45
they they did, they've ruined his character and they brought him back. They
1:17:49
called the bear Cat. The bear Cat, the motherfucker. And then the
1:17:57
worst thing that you could have done for him is take away his music.
1:18:03
That's the I'm Even with all that stuff that he did, even with everything
1:18:08
with the COVID and all that stuff they did, they still had an opportunity
1:18:12
if they had really wanted to utilize them and make something out of him,
1:18:15
and they didn't. Dude, They dumbest fucking completely stripped damn to stripped him
1:18:21
of everything that people had enjoyed about him, everything that people cared about that
1:18:27
made him compelling and interesting, and completely stripped that of him. So when
1:18:31
he left people thought that and went to a W people thought, Okay,
1:18:35
now he has a chance to shine. Yeah, now that what what a
1:18:40
w W didn't do with him? Ae W will And it turns out that's
1:18:45
not the case now. The only thing was like, if you think about
1:18:49
Aw's roster, outside of people who were already made men, how many who
1:18:56
on their roster have they really built up? Like wh who's been in AW?
1:19:00
That was kind of I won't say nobody, but not a big,
1:19:05
not a noteworthy name that has become a noteworthy name in AW. I mean
1:19:12
you could probably say maybe MJF. I don't know a lot of his career
1:19:15
prior to a wor like okay, so I would say maybe MJF and you
1:19:20
could see maybe uh swerve Strickland appears to be on his way. Maybe the
1:19:25
next one will become a major star. But outside of them too, who
1:19:30
else? Yeah, like aw kind of make low key making the same mistakes
1:19:34
that w CW did in the late nineties and not building up their own internal
1:19:41
roster and creating their own stars and kind of relying a little bit too much
1:19:45
on other people's pre existing star power. Just dropped in the discord that lift
1:19:51
moork and got arrested. Well, guess what, Doyle, we already covered
1:19:55
it, pal. God, you know they're talking because they you got Tony
1:20:00
Kahan, he's just Tony kNs just he's not like, to me the boss
1:20:09
that turn this this Indian more and he's risen into and you got what he
1:20:18
got people that's saying they started, they helped started, so they feel like
1:20:23
they're you got the young bucks. He got something to say, you know
1:20:26
what I mean? They always want to win, They always want to be
1:20:29
on the spotlight. You got all the you got all the Indians, all
1:20:31
the chiefs. That's trying to stay at on the top, you know what
1:20:35
I mean, instead of bring everybody up with them. So I don't know
1:20:40
how they system work over there, really, but they got too many chiefs
1:20:45
over there and too many guys that I feel like they just want to do
1:20:51
whatever they want. They they think they think they're good where they're at right
1:20:56
now. They satisfied with where they're at and how they're feeling because they're on
1:21:00
TV every week now, you know what I mean. Fuck the indie ship.
1:21:03
They on TV every week. They're doing this. They're making they making
1:21:06
money, but not not w W E money, but they're making money,
1:21:12
you know what I mean. So they to them, they probably they probably
1:21:15
a little you know, stuck in their wages, you know what I'm saying.
1:21:18
You get So, I don't know. I think they've got some big
1:21:24
changes. I think Tony Connie to put his band foot down for one,
1:21:28
stop being all timid on the mic. Like he's looking like he you know,
1:21:31
like like coming on there. One of them kids that's acting for money
1:21:35
because he's got no food. He's just be looking all the time, and
1:21:39
all the time you see Tony Kanny, you look like he's scared of THEMI
1:21:43
and I don't see it's a big difference between you know, everybody talking about
1:21:48
Vince, but I don't do a funck. Then did a lot while he
1:21:51
was while he was relevant, you know what I mean, so good things
1:21:55
didn't like and he did a lot of things he did like. So he
1:21:58
but you know, damn foodie, you know what I mean. You're looking
1:22:01
it's the man. He's fucking ship and put inside of the errors there were,
1:22:09
nobody go. Tony needs to get to that point, still have respect,
1:22:15
but you know, you need to get to a point where he's like,
1:22:17
you know, I need to grow this thing, you know what I
1:22:19
mean. Everybody want to say, Oh, you don't want to be like
1:22:23
Drinks. You don't want to be Okay, don't be like Drinks, motherfucker.
1:22:26
Be like Tony Kahan. But get a little get some balls, you
1:22:30
know what I mean. Take take your company to the next level. And
1:22:32
you're gonna need to do that. You can't do that just fucking doing the
1:22:36
same old thing all the time, all the every every night, somebody gotta
1:22:41
bleed every night. It's a fucking triple fucking flip that everybody's doing the same
1:22:46
fucking flip outside of the ring. You know what I mean. I want
1:22:49
to tick twenty twenty people, you know what I mean. Like I'm just
1:22:54
saying like it's up to him. It's up to him. Yeah, you're
1:22:58
absolutely right. I think the problem is is Tony Kahan is too much of
1:23:02
a fan and not enough of a boss and a leader. He's basically it's
1:23:10
basically like if you gave one of us, like I say one of us
1:23:14
specifically, but like a wrestling fan a fuck ton of money and said he
1:23:18
here's a company, that's like, he's more like he's more like a kid
1:23:23
with toys than he is a leader in an actual wrestling lind He didn't come
1:23:28
up in the business like Vince did. Vince came up, and Vince is
1:23:31
a product of wrestling. He is very much just as much professional wrestling as
1:23:36
anybody actually in that ring performing. He came up in the business. He
1:23:41
is the business. He lives it, breathes it. It's in his blood,
1:23:45
you know, for better or worse. That is what Vince is.
1:23:47
He has that wrestling mind. Tony Khan just got a whole fuck just got
1:23:51
a fuck ton of money and as a fan and said I'm gonna go and
1:23:56
said watch this and bottom so and made him of a wrestling company, and
1:24:01
he doesn't have He thinks he he thinks he has some of the wrestling minds
1:24:05
around him, but I don't know if he has the best wrestling minds around
1:24:10
him to really put out the best product. Like obviously he's not the one
1:24:15
sitting there writing the storylines every week. He's doing that with the other people.
1:24:19
And I think he just needs a better either a more diverse room or
1:24:27
a greater array of wrestling minds or something to help improve the product, because
1:24:35
now it's because it seems like it as it is now, it's just a
1:24:39
bunch of anti WWE in the room, and everybody's just like whatever we're gonna
1:24:45
do is whatever whatever WWE is doing, we not doing it. If we
1:24:49
see them do that, then it's off the books. And we'll do anything
1:24:55
on the opposite to be the opposite of them, or to try to one
1:25:00
up them in the most extreme way possible. And that's that's good for being
1:25:08
niche, and that's good forgetting yourself somewhat of a following, which they let's
1:25:14
not front like AW does have a following, and they have a very die
1:25:17
hard fan base. Good. That's only gonna get you so far. You're
1:25:23
only gonna be able to grow so much. At some point, you're gonna
1:25:27
have to as much as you may hate it or dislike it, you're gonna
1:25:30
have to look at WW and be like, Okay, you know, some
1:25:33
of that ship they doing over there kind of working. Maybe maybe having us
1:25:40
a John c and the type ain't half bad. You know what, I
1:25:44
would love to see like I would I would love to see them actually do
1:25:47
some old school stuff when it comes to like maybe you know, if MJS
1:25:54
was to lose to Samoa, Joe Tomo, Joe's a bad motherfucker, yo,
1:25:58
why don't he you know, I mean a storyline with Tony karkhet Tony
1:26:01
Khan out there, get their story Tony Khan out there, you know what
1:26:05
I mean, Let him rough up Tony Khan. You know what I mean,
1:26:10
Like, get a good storyline going with Tony Khan in it. You
1:26:14
know what I'm saying. Get that out of the way, and then maybe
1:26:16
Tony Kark get himself for uh what do you call it? A standing?
1:26:21
You know what I mean? If you take over the show to you know,
1:26:26
just to just spark things up. Some old wrest some old school wrestlers.
1:26:30
Who has charisma to spark things up, you know what I mean,
1:26:32
get him out there like they gotta, you know, just little storylines and
1:26:38
still keep it, keep the things going, because I love a w rustl.
1:26:41
Don't get me wrong. I love to watch the wrestler. They have
1:26:43
some awesome matches sometimes, you know, so it's it's the matches are great,
1:26:48
but sometimes to put together, matches don't make sense. So it's you
1:26:55
know, it's like you won't even have a storyline. Then it's just like
1:26:58
we're gonna fight. Oh, there's no build up, too fucking there was
1:27:03
no building. A lot of good build ups to Daniel Bryanton against King Omega
1:27:09
R. You know, uh we're seeing punk was there him going against this
1:27:14
person? Like the build up wasn't there, like like they're they weren't.
1:27:18
They just weren't there. It was just a fight and it was over.
1:27:21
Yeah what a no. Yeah, but that comes down to having better writers
1:27:29
in the room or having which they clearly don't appear to have right now.
1:27:33
They're just booking for the match and not booking to tell story. Yeah exactly.
1:27:40
And I and I know, they're trying to get all these matches that
1:27:43
we couldn't get in w E, like, hurry up and do it before
1:27:45
they leave it go to w E and W get there. So they're having
1:27:48
all these crazy matches that could have been built up to be great, great,
1:27:54
great matches, man, you know what I mean. And it just
1:27:57
it's just it's just sad to see sometimes because it's just like, man,
1:28:01
there was a little bit of this match. Imagine if this match was on
1:28:05
w W, you know what I'm saying. Like, imagine if this was
1:28:09
on w they would have took their time with this and they would have got
1:28:12
it right hopefully, you know what I mean. Like, but it's that's
1:28:16
that's that's what you get with each w you know, just here for great
1:28:20
matches. But then with all the great matches that are all used up wor
1:28:24
you got nothing, you know what I'm saying. And when you done fought
1:28:30
gay biason against everybody, when you don't fought ten of them, maybe against
1:28:33
everybody, come on there there, let's think about this. There are still
1:28:39
wrestlers, big time wrestlers that we were just now after years and years seeing
1:28:44
them fight for the first time in w w and they've been in the same
1:28:47
god their promotion for how long. You know what I'm saying. But they
1:28:51
but they found a way to slurve and not have those two wrestlers bury each
1:28:57
other and fight each other until the bone. It was right, you know
1:29:01
what I'm saying. Like people don't think about all these little things that go
1:29:04
on. You know, we just we just they just want want what Sometimes
1:29:09
you gotta think about the long the long running, the big picture of some
1:29:12
of these matches, you know what I mean. And that's different. That's
1:29:16
the difference between somebody like a Vincment man or a Triple Ah who came up
1:29:19
in the business and have that wrestling mind versus Tony Kahan who doesn't exactly exactly
1:29:27
Triple Triple Ah is doing this thing man like he's doing his thing. He
1:29:30
got me interested, Like I sit here, I watch I watched the whole
1:29:34
show. I'm like, yeah, you know what I mean. It's getting
1:29:39
good, getting good again, a perfect though funny perfect I'll see. That
1:29:46
was the subject that I wanted to bring up at some point here that uh,
1:29:53
bring We'll take a look, we'll segue. All right, I bring
1:30:00
it up. Let's do it let's let's break it up. They are Let's
1:30:05
see, what about a year and a half, trip H is run as
1:30:10
c c O and running this thing and making decisions and being the head writer
1:30:15
or in charge of the creative content of w W. Now we have a
1:30:19
better sense of what Triple H is good at and where he's not so good.
1:30:29
And I think there are a number of things that obviously Triple H I
1:30:32
think overall has been a general in a broad sense, it has been a
1:30:38
plus for w W as the chief creative officer, but there's also a number
1:30:43
of areas where he can definitely improve. I think one of those most noteworthy
1:30:48
things that he's done that's better is that is giving wrestlers more freedom on the
1:30:55
mic, allowing them to uh be more of themselves in their promos and have
1:31:00
more freedom and not be so rigid as to as how Vince was where he
1:31:06
basically told him go out there, say this, and you know, don't
1:31:10
deviate from the script aside from a few people who maybe had that privilege,
1:31:14
and allowing Michael Cole to be better, I mean, to be freer on
1:31:18
the mic and not being constantly fed talking points by Vince. I think that's
1:31:24
greatly helped Michael Cole in his mic work. Another thing I think Triple H
1:31:30
has done well is showcasing more talent. We're seeing a lot of wrestlers that
1:31:35
probably would have never seen any type of screen time under Vincent Man. However,
1:31:43
at the same time, while that is the good part of Triple H,
1:31:45
I think the bad part is that he's showcasing talent, but he's not
1:31:53
building anybody. Because if you think about it, since Triple H has come
1:31:57
in, who is who has really risen up to become a top star?
1:32:05
Goltter is probably it his his Yeah, his prize possession. Well, but
1:32:12
at the same time, didn't Golter become Icy champion while Vince was still running
1:32:15
things? Yeah, you know what that was? Like, I feel like
1:32:19
the decision for I feel like there was a point in time where Vince was
1:32:25
sitting in the office, like, you know, you know, I got
1:32:29
two people. I want to I want to break new records, you know,
1:32:31
like this is the end of his erar of Vince's era, Like he
1:32:35
wants to break and shadow records. I get it, Like you want to
1:32:39
set like the longest reigning modern day undisputed title run okay, and you want
1:32:45
to also bring prestige back to the intercontinentals. You want to do with the
1:32:49
longest raining intercontinental runs. So I feel like a lot of these were like
1:32:55
a long storylines that were just tied up the bloodline for example, talk about
1:33:00
long storyline like that that is still going. So I feel like a lot
1:33:08
that triple hasn't had the opportunity he could guide a lot of these stories.
1:33:12
But I feel like a lot of these stories have been building for quite some
1:33:15
time before it started, before his time. So in regards to those,
1:33:21
But what I'm saying is I'm talking about just the actual stars themselves. Yeah,
1:33:27
Triple As has showcased a lot of people who haven't who would have never
1:33:30
gotten a chance with Vince, but he hasn't turned in any of them into
1:33:34
real stars yet. He hasn't built any of them up. He brought back
1:33:38
a whole bunch of talent, he resigned a whole bunch of people, and
1:33:42
as we mentioned earlier, among out of all those people that he's brought back
1:33:45
and re signed, the only one that seemed to develop into anything noteworthy has
1:33:48
been Chelsea Green. And that's just on the strength of personality like he's brought
1:33:54
back Johnny Gargano that hasn't turned in anything, Tomasa Champa that hasn't really turned
1:33:59
into much. They're they're now a tag team as d I as what Why,
1:34:04
But that's it. They're just a tag team. They're just another team,
1:34:08
Like there's no build up. He's got Indie Hartwell and Cannis Lay there
1:34:15
as a tag team, but again just a tag team. There was a
1:34:19
point, right I think. I don't know if that's a moment is just
1:34:25
off TV from nothing to do with him, or if he's out injured or
1:34:28
what, but there was a point where they teased the prospect of the way
1:34:31
being reformed. Nothing came about from that, and again there's a you can
1:34:38
there's a list of people that Triph Is brought back and re signed and done
1:34:44
nothing with, but just have them there and they're just on television. Even
1:34:47
recently with Zion Lee Ziley got to be showcased, had a few with Becky
1:34:54
Lynch, had a match lost. We ain't seen her since. So he's
1:34:59
doing a whole lot of showcasing, but not a lot of building of Anybody's
1:35:02
just people that are just on TV and just there to be seen. But
1:35:09
then nothing. And I feel like Triple H is maybe looking at him like,
1:35:14
I'm gonna give you the chance, and now it's on you to make
1:35:16
something of it, to which that only that's only partially true. You can
1:35:21
give them the chance, and yes, to a certain extent, is on
1:35:26
the wrestler to get themselves over. But you, as the booker, you
1:35:30
as the creative person, you have to give the people a reason to give
1:35:34
a shit about them, because you can showcase people as much as you want,
1:35:39
you can put them in all the matches that you want. If there's
1:35:42
no reason for anybody to care about it, then nobody's gonna react, nobody's
1:35:46
gonna respond. And I think that has been one of Triple Ah's shortcomings is
1:35:50
his storytelling still leaves quite a bit to be desired, and some of his
1:35:56
booking still does leaves quite a bit to be desired. There are opportunities there
1:36:00
for compelling storylines to be told, but they're not just they're not being told.
1:36:05
They're just people being put in situations without any kind of reason for them
1:36:12
to be there or any reason for the audience to care about them being there.
1:36:16
And I think that's one of, if anything I think that is Triple
1:36:18
H's biggest shortcoming or his biggest Yeah, his biggest flaw as the chief creative
1:36:26
officer right now is giving giving the audience a reason to care about all the
1:36:31
content about all these stars he's showcasing outside of the people at the very top
1:36:38
of the roster. Mm hmm, yeah, I mean they have no Like
1:36:44
I understand, they're putting them out there to get a reaction. You can
1:36:47
tell that that sometimes when they put them out there at the first time,
1:36:50
they're they're trying to see what the reaction is going to be from the crowd,
1:36:55
you know what I mean. And a lot of times, if you
1:36:58
ain't getting the reaction that they think you're going to get, you know what
1:37:01
I mean, get put to the back burner, you know. So it's
1:37:04
like, you know, I thought, you know, like you said,
1:37:06
was I thought she They looked like they were about to give her a nice
1:37:11
little little push, trying to push her. But I think when it came
1:37:15
down to it, it was like she wasn't getting the reaction they thought she
1:37:18
was, you know, so they they pushed her back a little bit.
1:37:24
But how can she get the reaction if we don't have a reason to react
1:37:27
to her. I mean, the only thing she was doing, she was
1:37:30
a heel, she was getting booed. But outside of that, like,
1:37:33
you can't expect people to have a reaction just off of being of one feature.
1:37:39
Like if you want people to react to her and really give a damn,
1:37:42
she should have beaten Becky Lynch. Then people would have had a reason
1:37:45
to give it damn. Like oh she got like because the moment that she
1:37:49
was putting a few with Becky Lynch, everybody expected her to lose. That
1:37:54
was everybody expected. And I know we talk about that sometimes people trying to
1:38:00
subvert expectations too much to where it becomes meaningless. But there are sometimes where
1:38:03
subverting expectations can be actually beneficial and serve a genuine purpose. And if and
1:38:10
that would have been a prime case to do it, somebody like Zailie who's
1:38:14
been relegated to a fucking main event for the longest, finally up on the
1:38:20
main roster, taking people out, having an impact at least enough to have
1:38:26
people's attention to where it's like, Okay, what's she gonna do? Maybe
1:38:30
I don't care yet, but at least I'm I'm looking to see what's gonna
1:38:33
happen. She dropped Vaculynch, she was on NXC, dropped some other girl,
1:38:39
dropped the refers with a kick and shit. So when you finally get
1:38:44
to the moment to the payoff where Zai Lee is facing Beculinch in a match,
1:38:49
if all she does is just lose, then then what then it's like,
1:38:54
Okay, well she popped up, she got put down. She's right
1:38:58
back to where she was. There's no growth, there's no build up,
1:39:00
there's nothing, no reason for anybody to give a damn about her anymore.
1:39:04
Whereas has she pulled off the upset and got the win and gotta win over
1:39:10
Becky Lynch, even if it even if it wound up that Becky got another
1:39:15
rematch and wound up winning. Just the fact that she got a win over
1:39:19
Becky Lynch, just the fact that she did enough to warrant a multi match
1:39:26
feud with Becky Lynch, and by beating her, that's enough of reason for
1:39:30
people to give a damn about Zion Lee next time they see her, because
1:39:34
they'd be like, oh, that's the chick that beat Becky Lynch in that
1:39:38
match. She's somebody that we should actually pay attention to now as opposed to
1:39:43
where she's at now. It was like she showed up, she gotta put
1:39:45
down by Becky Lynch. Okay, right back to the main event with you.
1:39:48
Okay, but when you gotta think this too, though, you gotta
1:39:51
think this too. I understand. I understand that too. And now they
1:39:55
could do that with a lot of people. And the thing is when you
1:39:59
look at certain people, right, look at Zie, do you think about
1:40:02
it? Do you see her as if she gets the women's title? Right,
1:40:09
where do you see her going from here? Like as a as a
1:40:12
character or as even as with charisma charisma wise, where do you see her
1:40:16
as a champion? When you got somebody didn't look at an Asian person,
1:40:20
look at somebody likes and look look what Asta does when she gets the title
1:40:26
and how she gets the crowd involved in all that of it and stuff,
1:40:29
even whether he's good or bad. She you know, you could put it
1:40:32
on her arm and she's going wrong with Okay, but I think you're jumping
1:40:38
too far ahead by talking about Zione as a champion, like you can't.
1:40:42
Nobody's thinking about Zaylee as a champion. You gotta make people just give a
1:40:45
damn about her in the first place, Like they haven't even hit the first
1:40:48
step with Zailie before you can even before you can even broach or even think
1:40:53
about seeing her as a champion. You just gotta make people give a damn
1:40:56
about seeing her in the ring. And that's what the few quebeculent supposed to
1:41:00
have done for her, but it didn't. No, I understand that,
1:41:03
but listen, I'm just saying, you can't tell me that they're not looking
1:41:06
at anybody ahead of time. You have to look at these people as are
1:41:11
they championship materials. You have to look at them like that. You have
1:41:15
to look if they're marketable, or if they can or how far they could
1:41:17
go with the title, because some people get the title and then they lose
1:41:20
it and in a short amount of time. But I think that they look
1:41:26
at stuff like that. Now. They do all this stuff. They see
1:41:29
how people that when they do live SHOs, they see how certain matches are
1:41:32
going to outcome or how people are going to react to them. It's all
1:41:35
about reactions. But I'm just saying, like you look at certain people,
1:41:41
I can I can say a ton of people that they're right now who I
1:41:45
don't think like, I don't think they probably even gonna make it. Like
1:41:48
I know a lot of people like Grayson Waller, like Grayson Water, He's
1:41:53
like whatever whatever. But I don't I don't see him like everybody else,
1:41:57
you know what I mean, Like he has that he has a presence.
1:42:01
He has a presence. I think I've talked about him plenty of times.
1:42:04
I thought his ring attire and I think his interest, his n ring stuff
1:42:09
is where he's lacking. But as a character he has it. As a
1:42:13
character, he does have presence. But what I'm saying, you see that
1:42:15
he has presence though, you know what I mean that you see that in
1:42:19
him. That's what they see too, you know what I mean. It's
1:42:23
like y'all see it's like uh uh. You see certain people and you just
1:42:27
feel it from them. Some people, you they might not feel it.
1:42:30
We don't fall we know Becky Win said, probably says she ain't want to
1:42:33
get quit for what's the name over. I don't know, I don't I
1:42:36
don't know how how how that goes with some of them. But we know
1:42:41
back in the day, a lot of them that was on top, say
1:42:43
could had to say if they wanted somebody and go over them or not.
1:42:46
She lets the uh, the n x T champion go over on herth I
1:42:51
think that was a whole She's Irish, she's Irish. I'm Irish type of
1:42:56
putting her over type of thing. I'm pretty sure that. But all I'm
1:43:01
saying is we never know what's behind those things, because we know for we
1:43:06
know that even Seena had people he didn't want to put over, you know,
1:43:12
when he was champion or when he when when things was going, when
1:43:15
he was going good or whatever, there was time he didn't want to put
1:43:18
people over because he thought they weren't ready or they weren't this he's seen that.
1:43:23
He's seen that Austin Theory wasn't ready. And look where he's at now
1:43:27
and he beats y'all Scena. They let him go over, you know what
1:43:30
I mean. They was pushing him, but he was. But when the
1:43:33
crowd don't like you, they don't like you, you know what I mean
1:43:38
like, and I don't mean like just from being a hell. They literally
1:43:43
just don't like characters. So it's like it's it's it's hard, and then
1:43:48
you got to go back to the drawing board, reinvent yourself. You know
1:43:53
what I mean. Even Seth had to reinvent himself because he started to go
1:43:57
stayl a little bit and and he had to get back to it I see
1:44:00
only and only, and he did that, Like some people just have to
1:44:05
take it upon themselves to try to get themselves to the point where they want
1:44:09
to be great. And I don't know, like I feel like I feel
1:44:14
like when it comes to Triple A, C has a little more of an
1:44:16
understanding and an opening for stuff like that, because you know, I think
1:44:23
that's he's given people chances. I think he's given the chances, but they
1:44:28
have to at some point prove it or they have to be make theirselfs likable
1:44:33
in a way. Sure, that's that's part of it, But part of
1:44:39
it is also his booking. They can't they can't prove something if they're not
1:44:45
giving a chance to and just putting them in a match and just say here,
1:44:47
go on TV and make yourself a star and a match that nobody gives
1:44:51
a shit about. That's not really going to work. That's only gonna work
1:44:56
for a small handful of people who just inherently have that it factor. But
1:45:00
not every star, not everybody whoever becomes a star came about it that way.
1:45:08
Not everybody whoever became a top star was. You didn't always see it
1:45:13
from everybody from day one, like you didn't. Nobody looked at stunning Steve
1:45:19
Austin and thought that Stone Cold was possible. He was, he was doing
1:45:26
fine as stunning Steve Austin. Yeah, he was a fine enough wrestler.
1:45:30
But did anybody look at that and think that Stone Cold was possible? No?
1:45:34
Did anybody look at me and Mark Kallus and WCW and think that the
1:45:39
Undertaker was possible? No. So at some point, at some point,
1:45:45
you as a booker, you as the person creating the storylines and telling the
1:45:49
stories, have to give the people a reason to give a shit about somebody.
1:45:54
And it's not just put them up, put them out there on TV
1:45:57
and just expect the audience to tell us tell you whether this person is it
1:46:02
or not. Some of it's it's a it's both sides of it. Some
1:46:06
of it is on the wrestler, yes, to get themselves over, but
1:46:10
it's also on the booker to put them in the position to get themselves over,
1:46:14
to give people a reason to give a shit about them, Like Rocky
1:46:17
Mayavia. You didn't see the rock from Rocky Myavilla. They were putting him
1:46:23
out on TV. Yes, they were pushing him, and then people turned
1:46:27
on him, and they could have just dropped it there like, oh damn,
1:46:30
people don't like them. Well, I guess he ain't it by get
1:46:33
the fuck out of here, and his career could have been over. But
1:46:36
they didn't. They gave him. They put him in a position to get
1:46:41
himself over. They put him in a position to give people a reason to
1:46:44
give a damn about him by putting him with the Nation. And that's what
1:46:48
I'm saying. That's the part that I'm saying that Triple H is lacking in,
1:46:50
the part that he's falling short in is putting these people in a position
1:46:56
for the audience to give a damn about them, to give them a reason
1:47:00
to react to them. That's what he's not doing. It's not just all
1:47:02
on the wrestler, like, all right, I'm in this match for no
1:47:05
reason, but I hope y'all see championship material in me in this you know,
1:47:11
showcase of wrestling ability without any storyline to it. Like he's got to
1:47:15
do his end too, And that's that's what I'm saying that he's not doing
1:47:19
yet. But bro, how many how many promos and that Stories has viily
1:47:26
had ever since even once she was in XT, she's had more TV times
1:47:30
and than a lot of people, you know what I mean, Like she's
1:47:34
had more TV times. He reinvented herself. They've been trying to do different
1:47:39
things with her. I mean, I think it's more easier said than done
1:47:42
to just try to find a unique character. Yeah, I'm not saying that
1:47:46
it's easy, but it's not. It's hard. It's something when you got
1:47:49
all these other talents that you're trying and plus the new talent this year,
1:47:54
you know what I mean. I just think you gotta give you the benefit
1:47:57
of the doubt that it's like, you know, it's I think it's hard
1:48:01
to come up with a good characters to people to that people are gonna love
1:48:04
on that person. You know what I'm not I'm not saying that it's easy.
1:48:09
I'm just saying that he has to do something with somebody. He's got
1:48:13
all this talent. It's not just I mean, we mentioned anxiety, but
1:48:16
it's not just zile Lee again. D I y, They're just there,
1:48:23
Uh. In the Indie Heartwell and and Candice Larray just there. Dexter Loomis
1:48:29
just there, like out of out of He's brought back all these people that
1:48:33
he's resigned and people that he's that were just spinning wheels on the roster,
1:48:40
a bunch of them. Not a single one of them has really been elevated.
1:48:44
And I don't think that they're all just that mediocre or that they're all
1:48:48
just that mid People seem to have loved Johnny Gugardo, people that these are
1:48:53
some of the wrestlers that people were wanting to see that the fans were wanting
1:48:57
to see happen. Fans wanted the way they teased it, they never did
1:49:01
anything with it. Fans wanted to see Johnny Gargano get be something. He
1:49:08
had a he had a bit of a hype when he came when he finally
1:49:10
debuted or came back on the main roster, he had a bit of a
1:49:13
pop, but then they did nothing with it. They're doing the same thing
1:49:16
now with Bobby Lasty in the street profits they're there, there's clearly a reaction,
1:49:21
there's clearly something there, but they're not doing anything with it. They're
1:49:26
not booking it right that's where he's falling short. Even when he does seem
1:49:30
to have this, to seem to have the moment or seem to have the
1:49:32
opportunity to build something, he's not really capitalizing on it as well as I
1:49:38
think he could be. Well, guys, yeah, can we spend that
1:49:45
they're talking about anxiety? Uh, you know, to wrap up the show,
1:49:53
I am going to ask both of you guys a question. And you
1:49:58
know, I thought about it long inhow I spent most of my day thinking
1:50:01
about it, and Uh, it's a would you rather type question? So
1:50:09
this goes for both of you. Uh, Dave, I don't know how
1:50:15
much oxygen you have left in your in that car. The windows really foggy
1:50:21
right now. We're a podcast for almost two hours now, so I assume
1:50:30
it's super foggy. So you could write be CW on all the windows.
1:50:33
Ah. Okay, guys, would you rather give Vince McMahon a sponge bath
1:50:44
once a week? Or would you rather a's two more? Give Jim Ross
1:50:53
good Old Jr. A foot massage once a week or once a week.
1:51:02
It's very random. You don't know when, you don't know where, and
1:51:08
you don't know who. WW professional wrestler will come out of nowhere and give
1:51:14
you their finisher. I'm taking finishers and once a week. And and here's
1:51:20
the thing is the Vince thing did Jim Ross thing. You have to do
1:51:26
them until they die. And the finisher you have to do it for at
1:51:30
least in the next twenty years. No hesitation finishers. I'm not touching that.
1:51:36
I ain't touching neither one of them. Little wrinkly old fat fox.
1:51:40
Yeah, yeah, I'll take the finisher. Maybe you'll at least when you're
1:51:45
taking those finishers, maybe you can put a name out here for yourself.
1:51:49
Maybe you'll get on like some twelve pio and make some money. You ain't
1:51:54
gonna make no money, right I thought about it. I was like,
1:52:00
I think I take a finisher. I was like I would randomly take an
1:52:04
RKO or super kick once a week. It was just funny. You know,
1:52:09
you just think about You're in the grocery store. You just turned the
1:52:11
corner, you know you uh, you just picked up I don't know,
1:52:15
like a box of cereal and Sean Michael's just like super kicks you out of
1:52:18
nowhere. In the box Cereal just goes flying, or it remind me of
1:52:23
that. You know recently I posted in that discord the the match with Booker
1:52:30
Tea and Stone Cold Steve austin the grocery store, like just comes out of
1:52:35
nowhere. So it's beating the shit out of you, like pour his milk
1:52:39
on you, and like like you're at the bank and you're just standing in
1:52:45
line. Then the fucking Undertaker you just hit the gong and he just comes
1:52:47
out of nowhere and just choke slams you in the middle of the bank.
1:52:51
Oh man, Uh, You're like you're at Walmart in line, You're just
1:52:58
holding your groceries, just your own fucking business. You're like, I'm gonna
1:53:00
go to check out. I'm gonna go check it out myself. I'm gonna
1:53:03
wait in line. I'm gonna just go bag it all myself. I'm gonna
1:53:05
have a good day. We'll go home. I'm gonna eat this pie I
1:53:09
just got. And then boom, Drew McIntire's claim, Moore is your ass
1:53:12
out of nowhere? Pie goes flying? Why anybody? One time it might
1:53:19
be Drew McIntyre giving you the claym war, but another time it could be
1:53:24
True Stratus giving you stratisfaction. Oh god, yes, I think. Yeah,
1:53:33
I'll take my chances with that any day of the week before I'm touching
1:53:36
Vincement Man or Jim Ross. You ain't lying man down with that that bro.
1:53:46
I ain't touching any either one of them. Oh my god, I
1:53:48
gotta I think next episode I'm gonna come up with another, would you rather?
1:53:53
I think I'm just gonna do one every episode because I got a bunch
1:53:56
of these. Oh man, these are a funny ship and I just write
1:53:59
them down. Uh. But yeah, like I was thinking, because I
1:54:03
want to add more shirts. I think Doyle needs his own shirt. Yeah,
1:54:09
I think uh d O y l E. Well we'll say the man's
1:54:15
got his own catchphrases now, you know, slap it on a T shirt
1:54:17
for him, because you know we're going to wrestle Mania and we're all gonna
1:54:23
be wearing uh some PCW shirts of some kind. So I'm pretty excited.
1:54:29
I'm pretty excited. Get my aw hoodie, dude. Yeah, I want
1:54:33
to know how we can get hoodies or beanies or some ship like I know.
1:54:40
Well, well, on the website, you can choose the different style
1:54:44
of shirt, and you can choose long sleeve shirt. But I know there
1:54:47
is an option for hoodies on that. Yeah, I gotta figure that out
1:54:51
because I want to hoodie. Like I know, I'm gonna be freezing pay
1:55:00
whatever money it is. So yeah, uh day, dud, It's it's
1:55:06
been a while that you've been on here. I'm glad you came. Hopefully
1:55:11
we have you on another episode and you're not inside the car. Maybe an
1:55:16
elevator next time, or maybe a hot dog stand, a Porter potty,
1:55:21
sun baked Portajean. I'm thinking of a bunch of other random places that you
1:55:27
could be. A parking garage, standing in the middle of an ice ring
1:55:33
arena, maybe some good acoustics in a church perhaps, But yeah, dude,
1:55:44
yeah, you gotta get back on Discord. You know, you haven't
1:55:46
been part of the conversation in like months the time, man like chiming in
1:55:53
with your nuts. Yeah, what's good having you here on the pod.
1:55:58
And we always have good debates every time you're on. Oh yeah, dude,
1:56:00
I know when I get you guys together, you guys debate like a
1:56:02
motherfucker. So I don't I don't know if Dave's going with us to WrestleMania
1:56:08
or not, but like, if not, Dave like, I gotta get
1:56:13
all of us together, considering Dave lives like five ten minutes for me off
1:56:18
the road, So yeah, we all got to get together. Run WrestleMania
1:56:24
time, especially for a big podcast podcast picture. You know, I'll be
1:56:29
I'll be trying to see if somebody trying to sell or something like that.
1:56:32
Yeah, well, like talk talk to I know, like we'll probably talk
1:56:35
more about this offair, but reach Doyle. Doyle is the man to talk
1:56:39
to. He's a book, he's our agent, you know. Reach out
1:56:43
to that man. See what he can do. I don't know what magic
1:56:47
he has, but he's the guy to talk to, or at least tell
1:56:50
you where we're sitting, because honestly, I don't remember where the hell we're
1:56:55
sitting. I don't All I know is it's being handled. I handing over
1:57:01
the cash. You know, well, I mean we've already gotten We've got
1:57:05
the tickets where like yeah, I was like one thousand and one or something
1:57:10
like that. I would have to scroll back up in the chat to see
1:57:14
where it is. But at this point, like I don't care where I
1:57:17
sit. I'm good at time. It's been great, I know, like
1:57:21
we're getting closer and closer, and I'm getting so excited because dude, like
1:57:27
a few weeks ago, I I had no idea that I'd be going to
1:57:31
WrestleMania and the possibility of seeing seeing Punk there, like holy shit like that
1:57:38
that just blew my mind. Like so I'm just excited for all the all
1:57:44

1:57:48
damn sure. Uh but uh yeah, Dave, do you want to plug
