• 7:41
  Speaker 6: I didn't watch a lot of WCW stuff, but that

  Speaker 6: Wrestling History. You know what? Just because Doyle liked it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: I'm going to play it one more time. Yep, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: it just ends. It cuts it short, man.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: It just got me mid-Lindy hop.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Right? Alright. Okay, so while we were gone, WWE had
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Money in the Bank. I did the predictions, and boy,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: was I off. I guess I was thinking the most obvious, right?
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I was like, ooh, Bron Breaker for the men's. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: I know I've been pitching Trick Williams for the longest time.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: And what a surprise that we got. Same with the women's.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I really thought Roxanne Perez was for it. I thought
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: the storyline was all there. But, no, they want the
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: safe bet, I guess, and Tiffany Stratton.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it already sucks.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, these continuous failed cash-ins, you know, is
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: this going to be a thing every week? You know, this.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: You know overall there's two ladder matches I mean they were.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: Pretty good oh go ahead the worst is when they
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: can't figure out how to let go of the briefcase
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: they hand it to the referee the referee grabs it
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: and they just stand there muttering to each other for
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: two minutes while just like oh.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: Well well Well, this week, Tiffany Stratton, you know, when
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: she tried to cash in on Liv, she's talking to
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: the ref, and the ref's like, no, you have to
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: hit her with the briefcase. And she goes, oh, okay,
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: turns around, hits her with the briefcase, then gives it
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: back to her. It was just blatantly obvious. But yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: the whole, like, you know, giving it to the ref,
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah, that's why I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: fucking here. Like, yes, I'm sure.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Uh, maybe next time go out and cash in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: briefcase first, then hit your fucking finisher on them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah. But, uh, I mean, I, I, I enjoyed both
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: of those ladder matches. Uh, you know, the triple threat
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: match is, was what it was, you know, for the
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: women's title. Um, of course, Oba versus Bronson was entertaining
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: seeing just two, big-ass men just throwing each other around.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: And Roman Reigns and LA Knight was an interesting match.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: You know? So far, it was an alright pay-per-view. It's just...
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: When I got the results of who got the briefcases,
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, okay. This is where we're going
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: with this. I'm on board for Penta.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: You know? I just.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Tiffany Stratton, I kind of scrapped my head with. It's like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: are we running back the Nia Jax storyline where she
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: cashes in on her friend and you know but god
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: damn if they didn't get me convinced this this past
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: week or so that she was going to cash in
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: on Liv and we could have gotten Chelsea Green versus
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Tiffany Strand title and title at Crown Jewel but you
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: know thoughts?
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: You have to be laughs laughs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Uh It was a decent show cursed by bad booking.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I feel like.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I've already forgotten everything about this show.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I have forgotten most of it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, the biggest thing out of the biggest story
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: of the show was all the booking decisions. Of course,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: none of the matches themselves were bad, but it was
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: a decent show ruined by terrible booking choices from them.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Money in the Bank briefcase winners, aside from Penta. I mean,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Penta was probably a decent choice because he's white hot
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: right now. But yeah, Tiffy over Roxanne was a terrible choice.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Especially when the story is, as we said, the story
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: is right there with Roxanne as Money in the Bank.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Instead, they know.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: They decide, no, let's rehash the same shit from two
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: years ago. Do that lame-ass storyline again. On somebody who
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: quite frankly, isn't as hot or as interesting as Roxanne
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: is right now.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: I think they.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: Think they can do the Roxanne-Liv thing without the briefcase.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: I think they're still going to do that. I think
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: their thinking was, we already have this story.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Why? It doesn't need the briefcase.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: But that's still like, well, Kathy's the most boring person
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: you could have put it on.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Anybody else would have been more interesting.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean... Yeah, I think... Well, would you want
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: to see... Are we really... Are we going to pick
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: the obvious where Penta's going to snatch it off of Sammy?
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Or are we going to see Penta get it off
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: of Roman?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He ain't getting it off Roman.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: You don't think so? That'd be a hell of a question.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't be surprised if I wouldn't be surprised if
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: he does the baby face thing and, you know, says,
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: I want to catch him at the next.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Pay-per-view, you know, like calls his shot kind of thing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Doesn't do the, doesn't do the run in on somebody
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: after they've just gotten their ass kicked by somebody else.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if he does the,
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: does the honorable thing. If you, as, as you will,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: if you will. Yeah. But I mean, you.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: Got to think that somebody that's going to, whoever takes
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: that title off of Roman has to be, a monumental.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Occurrence, right? Is Tenta that? I don't know.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: We already know that right now, the biggest match that
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: WWE can book right now, they're saving it for WrestleMania.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows what that match is.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Femi versus Roman Reigns. That's the moneymaker right there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: That's the biggest match WWE can possibly book right now.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: And since they did do it at SummerSlam, they're going
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: to save it for WrestleMania. Roman ain't losing that title
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to WrestleMania.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Could Oba be that guy following the same path as
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Brock Lesnar? This man wins King of the Ring. He
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: wins the Royal Rumble. And then he goes to a
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: big PLE and beats.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess Roman Reigns.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: If it had happened at SummerSlam, I would say yes.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, but SummerSlam.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: They seem to be dragging this thing out so much longer.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: And the fact that he still ain't done shit with
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: his fucking King of the Ring, I'm gonna say no.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: It's just a constant fucking reminder that, hey, we gave
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: this guy the crown, but never the title shot. Never
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: the title match.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: Okay, I.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: I thought he gave up his title shot for the
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: Lesnar match.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: They never fully clarified it. Like, they made it seem
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: like that was the case at the time. Like, he
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: gave up at that to get the match with Lesnar.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: But then they keep bringing up the fact that he was,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, I thought they brought it back up
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: again afterwards that he still had it. I know they
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: still mention the fact that he's king of the ring,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: but What's the point of mentioning the fact that he's
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: king of the ring if he doesn't get the title
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: shot anymore? You're basically just reminding everybody of a dumbass
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: decision y'all made.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Every week. Well, they still announce him as the king
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: of the ring winner when he comes out. Like I said,
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: just a constant reminder. Oh, yeah, that's right. Guy gives
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: up title matches.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Who is queen of the ring? I can't even remember.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: EO.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Nobody else can. EO.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: EO is EO.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Remember she won and then she beat Liv Morgan to
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: become Queen of the Ring and then immediately said, Liv Morgan,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I'm challenging you for your title.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Right, right, right, right, right.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Remember that? And lost. Dumbass booking decision.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Not EO, but putting Liv Morgan the champion in the
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: finals of the Queen of the Ring.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: So, with Penta being the Money in the Bank briefcase holder... Well,
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: first off, let me just say his briefcase is fucking awesome.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Shoots fucking fireworks out the sides. Like, I don't know
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: how the hell he gets that through customs when he
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: has to go anywhere and travel, but that's fucking awesome.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: And I know that they sell replicas on WWE Shop Zone,
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and I heard they're backed up until February.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: So.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: That could be a clear sign that they might also
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: just keep it around. I mean, maybe that's why Tiffany
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Stratton got the briefcase as well. It's because of merch.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Because it would have required some actual effort to come
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: up with a version for Roxanne. Whereas Tiffany, they could
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: just go pink!
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: There you go, man.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Pink. You're absolutely right, though. Fucking boring safe move, but
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's why I think they'll probably take the briefcase
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: off of her first before they do Penta. Penta, they're
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: going to make money with that briefcase and him coming
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: out with that thing. And, you know, just the temptation.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Technically, you have a year, right?
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you technically have a year. So it's not like
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: we have to have this. Yeah, we don't have to have.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: It could be the summer of Penta for all we know.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: We're just, you know, let's just let it go. I,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Penta is one we can put on the back burner,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: and let him hold on to that for a while,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: you know, let a, let a heel that we don't
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: like win a title, and then have Penta go in there,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: snatch it the fuck up, I mean, Sami Zayn obviously
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: would be a great person for that, but I'd rather wait,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: I'd rather wait, let's see Tiffany get rid of that
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: briefcase first, because I feel like we all know where
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: that's heading, and let's just get it done and over with,
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: if that's the case. If it's going to be her
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: and Chelsea Green, then just do it. One of them
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: turns heel, she turns heel, or they just shake and
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: hug and cry, and they're best friends. That's what we'll get.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: We'll get one of the two, right?
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't think Penta's going to hold that briefcase
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: as long as you are thinking.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: I want to hear your take.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I think Penta will probably cash in... He might cash
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: in before the end of the year.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: What?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: The only reason why.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and my thinking behind this is because of the
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Royal Rumble.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. Penta... If Penta is.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Not a champion then it'd be hard to keep him
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: out of the royal rumble match but it also doesn't
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: make sense for him to be mr money in the
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: bank and a competitor in the royal rumble like what
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: are you trying to double up on your title shots.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Like yeah that doesn't make sense.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Why not right yeah i would i would try to
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: get myself into like a Yeah, I exactly tried to
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: win the Rumble, and then.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that Liv Morgan, let me win the Queen
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: of the Ring as a champion logic.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: That's right, man.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: To me, it don't make sense. Okay. Maybe as a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: selfish individual thinking within the universe, oh yeah, let me
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: But to me, from a booking standpoint, it doesn't make
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: any sense. To have your buddy in a briefcase winner
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: also competing to win the Royal Rumble... For the same
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: thing that he already has. Which is a guaranteed title shot.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: So if he's not going to be in the Royal
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Rumble match, how do you keep him out of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Royal Rumble? In other words, how do you keep him
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: out of the Royal Rumble match? To me, though, the
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: best way to do that, the most sensible way to
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: do that is for him to already be champion and
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: be defending the title at the Rumble against somebody. So
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: that's what makes me think he may cash in before
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the end of the year. Maybe as a way to
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: close out, you know, 2026 with a bang, you close
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: out with Penta as your new champion, which would be
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: a good cap to this.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Electric year that he's had.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: With all of you think.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: And then he starts off 2027 as champion, or if
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: they're doing that day one thing, maybe he cashes in
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: at the start of 2027. But prior to the rumble,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: He cashes in, he becomes champion, and that keeps him
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: out of the Royal Rumble match because he'd be defending
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: the title against somebody, probably whoever he cashed in on
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: or something like that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was looking like, well, we know that
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Penta's from Mexico. I was like, well, when's WWE going
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: back to Mexico? And, you know, nothing anytime soon, so
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: we can rule that out. yeah do you guys want
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: to add anything else about Money in the Bank before
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: we move on.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I'll give LA Knight his props in the fact that
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: at least in this match at least in this match
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: he finally looked like a legitimate world title contender Even
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: though he lost, he put on a great match with Roman,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: and he walked out looking better than he did going in.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: It was pretty obvious that he wasn't going to win.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know why all the LA Knight fanboys are
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: so pissed off.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: It was the wrong choice.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: LA Knight should have won. He ain't him.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: He's not that guy. He's elevated himself, yes. He's a
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: main event level guy now, without question. But there's a
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: difference between being a main event level guy and the
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: type of guy who can dethrone a Roman Reigns in
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: a title match. That's a different level. And he just
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: ain't at that level yet. But he did do himself
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: a great service by having an excellent match with Roman Reigns.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I think he did elevate himself.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know where, I mean, he's been in hiding,
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: I guess you can say, since his loss. So they
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: need to bring him back on TV soon. I want
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: to know, where does he go next?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Is LA Knight doomed to be like a modern day
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Riley Piper, where he is always in the main event scene,
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: he can be in the main title scene, He's great
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: on the mic. Fans love him. He sells merch. But
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: he never wins the big one.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Well, they always said Piper didn't need the belt.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think you can say the same for Allied Knight. Right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, damn, man. This man just gets opportunity after
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: opportunity and sometimes it feels like he gets so fucking close.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: And then, no. They just snatch it away.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: He's only had two. No, he'll be champion.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: He won't win whatever the top belt is in the
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: company at the time.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: But he'll win it. He can beat....
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: If the LA Knight that showed up against Roman Reigns
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: faced Sami Zayn, you could see him convincingly beating Sami Zayn.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: That's not far-fetched. You could book LA Knight versus Sami
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Zayn right now. LA Knight wins that match, and nobody
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: would think that's unreasonable or, you know, beyond the pale.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: No, dude, absolutely. I agree with you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But booking him to be Roman Reigns is a stretch.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: That's what I mean when I say he's elevated himself
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: to a main event level, but he's not at that
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: level yet.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be a champion.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: He could be WWE champion if Roman is world champion
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: or if Cody is world champion or Punk. Is he
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: on the level to beat those type of guys? The
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: face of the company type guys?
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: No.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Can he beat damn near anybody else?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I think that's probably where he's positioned himself right now.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: So, Money in the Bank was October 10th. And if
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: you guys blinked, if you blinked at all, the day
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: before that, on the 9th, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: defeated Fatal Influence to win the women's tag titles. And then,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: October 23rd, Meechan and B-Fab won their very first titles.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: from Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley. Yeah, on SmackDown. I
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: thought I'd bring that up just because of titles changing hands.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: It seems like the women's tag titles are becoming hot potato.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: Women's championships in general.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: I actually went down this rabbit hole the other day.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Women's title changes have been this year already.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Do tell. Do tell.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: That's probably a good number. How many?
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: 19.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Which is already a record with, what, two months to go?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Is that just main roster?
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You know what it is? Last year was 17.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: I think, Doyle, it's the introduction of more titles in
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: the women's division, and I feel like a lot of
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: these women who are you know, who need, who need
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: or want that accolade on, on their resume, you know, like, Ooh,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: I want to be a grand slam champion. Like, Ooh, like,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: you know, imagine being one of the four horsewomen who've
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: been busting your ass for years and you're not that
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: far off of being on your way out. And all
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: of a sudden these new titles get introduced. It's like,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Oh shit. Like I, I need to, you know, Becky
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Lynch was like, I need to win an IC title
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: or something in my career, Charlotte, I need to win
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: a tag title. Same thing with Bayley. I need to
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: win a tag title. Put that on my career, you know?
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, and then you got women who were gone
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: and now coming back and realizing there's titles up for grabs. Like,
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: the Bellas are now, you know, they were, before Brie
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: was gone, you know, chasing the titles. Now it looks
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: like Nikki's going to be getting a title shot soon.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: So they're going to be putting her in the main
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: event scene somehow. I love hearing that groan from Doyle.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Just.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I love knowing.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that it upsets you. But, um.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: It's just so bad.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: Like, we're past you guys. Yeah. Guys, what's up? Where?
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Especially when there are other better, in my opinion, more
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: deserving women who are more relevant to the modern product,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: who are not getting shots, just so people, just so
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: a nostalgia act can get some shine. I mean, it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: not to shit on Nikki Bella too much but her
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: wrestling just isn't on the level of today's women it's
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: just not so it just seems like it feels like
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: it's a step down or a step back instead of
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: a step.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Forward it's you know what it also seems like because
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: they had bigger plans they had tag team title plans
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: with her And Brie. And we're still waiting for Brie
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: to come back. So it's like... Alright. Do you want
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: to lose? Do you want to take some couple L's?
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: But we'll put you in the main event scene. You're
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: going to get your ass beat. But we're not going
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: to let you hold the gold. Yeah, I don't see
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: her holding the gold. I see her contending, but not winning. Yeah,
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know when Rhea is due to be back.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: If that's something Rumble is possible. Not sure. What else
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: did I want to bring up?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, no. We talked about LA Knight. We talked about
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: the briefcases. Let's talk about the Bloodline and the 946
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: for a little bit here. So, it seemed like the
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: 946 has had has had the upper hand the past
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks over the bloodline. And all the way
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: up to the point... I was getting kind of bored
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: of it. It's like every week they were getting their
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: ass whooped. They were getting run over by fucking cars
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: or whatever, you know? Getting kidnapped. I was just... I'm
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: over it, man. It's just because, to me... It.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Just.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: These guys didn't seem like a legit threat to me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: To the bloodline. The bloodline... ran this company for like
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: three years straight, you know, owning all of the gold.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: And then you have two dudes from NXT, and you
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: have Royce Keyes, who wasn't doing nothing beforehand, you know.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: And the best guy in that group is Carmelo Hayes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: And I don't know where his place is in all this,
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: nor why. He just, to me, when he was in it, like, Okay?
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: For why, though. But every time I see the recaps
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: or anything going on with this group, it's background noise
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: to me. Until this week. Until this week. Until Roman
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Reigns came out. I got a little excited. It wasn't
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: this week. It was last week, right? Was it last week?
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: That was last week, yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Okay, last week.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: The OTC returning. So to actually step in and help
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: the bloodline, you know, kind of balance this. I know
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: getting us basically ready for war games, right? Which I
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: don't know how these teams are going to be set up.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: How do you guys predict with these two groups, you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: going to war games? what we could see as a
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: full five on five, I assume, right? Is that what
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: war games always is? Five on five. Is that always
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: been five on five? Yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Always.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: No, but recently I think has been, okay. At least
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: So let's, let's go. Let's start with the bloodline. We have,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: we have Roman Reigns. We have Jimmy and Jey Uso.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: We have solo. And most likely returning Jacob Fazio, correct?
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Is that the most obvious choice?
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: That's what they want us to think anyway.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: And this whole like him showing up and being on
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: the other side, it's like, okay, so you got hit
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: by a car on purpose?
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it just doesn't make sense, you know? Uh, okay,
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: so the other team, we got, uh, Royce Keyes, we
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: got Carmelo Hayes, we got the two guys from NXT, who,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I still have not learned their names yet. Um, who,
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: who is their fifth man? Because we're not gonna put
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: women in this match, right? We're not gonna do, uh,
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: a mixed tag, we're not gonna throw, like, Naomi instead
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: of Jacob Fatu, throwing Naomi in here, and, and, uh, oh,
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, what, I, I forget what her name is, um,
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: It's escaping me right now.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Jada Parker.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Jada Parker, yes. We're not throwing Jada Parker in there.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: I just– I don't know. It just won't make sense.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know. What do you guys think?
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: No, but I could see her causing havoc on the
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: outside or something. And maybe that's where Naomi returns to
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: like even the odds on the outside or something.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Do we see maybe somebody who's currently on the roster
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: joining them? Like is there a bigger– is there– like,
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Is there, like, somebody above
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Royce Keyes running this group? Is there a leader?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Or is it just another henchman, you know?
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, uh, if only.
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: Do you want to do something with LA Knight?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: It's right there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Fuck.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: No.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: No.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Dude, I, I kind of agree with Doyle. I mean,
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: come on, dude. It makes sense. Like, He's just.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Like, no, I cannot be more adamant against that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, come on, Dre.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: First things first, before we even get too deep into this,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: I cannot even, I could not disagree with you more
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: about this whole feud and this whole thing being background noise.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: To me personally, this has probably been the most interesting
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: thing going on in WWE right now is this whole
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: 9-4-6 thing. Because for one, it's involving new talent. and
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: new faces that have not been getting a whole lot
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: of shine being featured in a main event storyline on
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: a main event level. Two, their presentation has actually been
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: really damn good. And the fact that they are actually
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: beating the shit out of the bloodline, taking out Jacob
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: by running him over, pulling the swerve with Jada, even
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: giving little moments of a little wink and nods to
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: the fans when she shows up and the first person
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: to really react to her was Well, outside of Jacob
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: with the, oh, hell no.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: But, you know, Jay, like, what you doing here?
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Which is a definite weak and not to the fans
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: who know that these two are actually dating.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: But they've been doing this really well.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: And the thing that I really like about this feud
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: is that it doesn't just feel like another just regular
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: wrestling feud. They've been presenting this shit like it's legit
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: beef between these two. And in terms of all the
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: fighting happening backstage and going all out, just war, not just,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: you know, all right, we're just going to do some
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: fighting in the ring and some double teams and hit
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: some moves, and then they're going to scramble. Like, no,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: these motherfuckers been fighting, fighting. So they've been presenting this
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: shit with a whole lot more energy than some other
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: feuds that we've seen in the past where, oh, somebody
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: just runs in, makes a save, and okay, we'll see
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: you next week where we do the same thing over.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And over again.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Like I said, this shit feels like actual beef. What
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: was it, a few weeks ago and shit when they
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: all got into the ring? And then you seen Jay
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: just pacing back and forth, pacing back and forth while
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: they mouthing off and shit. And then Jay, what'd he do?
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Set it off.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Flew across that motherfucker and they got to scrapping. This
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: shit has, this has been part of Raw that I've
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: been the most interested in. And yes, when Roman finally
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: showed up, yeah, I stood up at full attention, ready,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: because again, shit was about to pop the fuck off.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: And this has had energy. And as far as who
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: could be a fifth member and people keep wanting to
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: float the idea that it should be somebody they had
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: to have some other leader or that it just has
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: to be somebody above Royce Keyes. Why the fuck can't
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: the leader just be the guy who's damn leader right now?
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Royce Keyes.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: We keep screaming that we want new talent. We keep
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: screaming that we're saying that we want new people elevated
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: and built up. Well, God damn it, you got a
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: motherfucker right here who's getting built up. Let him be
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: the leader. Build up this group. Build him up as
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: the leader. Stop looking at him like he, like, nah,
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: he insufficient. It can't be good enough. He ain't good
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: enough to be the leader. and for god's sake damn
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: sure don't look at this shit and be like it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: gotta be a white guy leading them fuck out of
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: here with all that shit y'all.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Can continue well who do.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: You think then i mean they're gonna be somebody else right.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: No.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Take it easy.
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: It doesn't have to be a leader.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: As far as who the fifth person would be, honestly,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I haven't put any thought into it. I'm letting the
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: story come to me as they bring it, as they
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: give it to me. I have not really tried to
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: speculate on, oh, this person could be the fifth man,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: this person could be the fifth man, this person, that person.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: I have not really. There's been a ton of discussion
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: on it. I haven't put a whole lot of thought
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: into it. Other than the fact that I absolutely do
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: not want it to be L.A.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Knight.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: I absolutely do not want it to be Jacob Fatu.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: I even saw somebody mention The Rock.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Is it? No.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Royce Keyes is the leader. I want Royce Keyes to
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: remain the leader. Whoever the fifth person is should not
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: be somebody that would outshine Royce Keyes.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: So no Obafemi, huh?
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: No, I've heard people bring that up too.
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: No, absolutely not.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: No, because that's going to take all the... You do that,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: you take all the momentum out of your WrestleMania main event.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Take it easy.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: I got you all fired up, man.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: The thing I don't get about Royce Keyes is.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: The thing I don't get about Royce Keyes specifically is
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: that his whole presentation until this thing started was how he...
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: wanted to get out of the gang violence and the
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: street life or whatever, and now he's finally gone into it,
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: and now he's successful.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: It just kind of sends the wrong message.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: But remember, what was the catalyst that started this?
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Jacob Fatu fucking him up.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: The guy that he was trying to help out and say, like, yo,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: you ain't got to do this, you ain't got to
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: be about that. And that dude turned on him, fucking
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: him completely up, leaving him a bloody mess. He's like, Oh, well,
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: if you want to be on some gangster shit, then
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: fuck it. We're going to get on some gangster shit.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: That's a good point. That's a good point.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: Well, they caused a lot of felonies in the past
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks, like cars on fire.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Maybe we should give them a little bit of credit, because.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: I said they've caused a lot of felonies in the
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: past couple of weeks. Aggravated assault on the Usos, criminal
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: damage to structured property. smashing the bloodline vehicles, arson, setting
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: it on fire, kidnapping, abduction of the solos, vehicle assault,
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: hit and run, involving Jacob Fatu. So by our court,
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: the 946 has racked up at least five felony-level offenses
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: in just a couple of months on WWE TV.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: And that's what's helping elevate the feuds, in my opinion.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: It's not just, that's why I say it's like legit beef,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: because it ain't just, oh, we're going to run and
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: interfere in a match. Or we're just doing wrestling shit.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, nah. Like, we on some gangster shit. We
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: on some street shit. This is beef. This ain't just
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: a wrestling feud. This is beef.
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: And we should maybe give some credit where credit is due.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Like, we don't know where this is going.
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: You know, I think we all know that Roxanne is
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: going to turn on Liv Morgan.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: At some point. You know what I mean?
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: Like, we all know that Tiffany is going to turn
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: on Chelsea at some point.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't know where they're going with this yet.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: And that's a good thing. Why is the beef?
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: And again, and it's people who, and how long, and
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: weren't we talking about in the past about how Carmelo
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: was getting lost in the sauce on SmackDown with the
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: rise of Trick Williams and Old Femi coming in and
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: being huge and Jermon Evans popping off like that. We
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: thought this, we thought Carmelo Hayes was going to be
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: that person on the same level as them.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: And he kind of fell by the wayside.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Got lost up in the US title picture and just
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: faded out of that. Now he's in something interesting. Again,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: I popped big when he showed up with the crowbar.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Took the mask down and it was mellow. I was like,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: hell the fuck, yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: He's in something.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: He's in a main event program and there's room to
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: go so many directions with this long term. Provided that
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: they don't do the safe thing at war games. And
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: what's that? That would be having the bloodline win. If
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: the bloodline wins at war games, 946 is dead. If
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: they're going to do all this, if 946 is here
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: for the long term, they have to win war games.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: If they lose at war games, then they're basically, they
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: might as well be an MCU villain. show up, be
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: a threat for one film, lose, never hear from them again,
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: and be forgettable. They have the potential to be a
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: real long-term threat, not just to the bloodline, but potentially
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: to the entire roster.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: But they have to continue to be built up.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: And the real build-up has to happen at War Games
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: when they defeat the bloodline. If they walk out, if
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: they go into that War Games match with the bloodline,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: with Jacob, Solo, the Usos, and Roman, and they come
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: out victorious, shit, sky's the limit for them motherfuckers. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: their whole catchphrase of ain't nobody safe starts to hit
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: a whole lot different if these are the guys who
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: were able to take down the bloodline. Something that ain't
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: nobody else really been able to do. That puts them
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: on a whole nother level.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Where is WWE War Games this year?
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Houston.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Texas.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Alright, nice. You could throw the Street Profits in there.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: Yo.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Or Montez. Or Angelo. Throw them in there.
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: That is not a bad idea.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Damn.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like you really... You kind of think, like,
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: you run through your head, who's on the roster who's
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: kind of not doing anything right now? You know what
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: I mean? Like, who's treading water backstage? So you're trying
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: to figure out where to, like Carmelo Hayes, like you said,
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: he wasn't doing anything after he was out of the
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: United States title scene. So who else is in that
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: position right now that would fit, you know, this group?
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: I don't see somebody like Damian Priest, I don't see
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: joining another group. Unless it's a Judgment Day reunion. I
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: don't see him.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: No, no. And respectfully, he wouldn't fit.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: And he would clash with Royce Keyes because Damian Priest
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: is a former world champion.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: Probably higher on the card, yeah.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: It's got to be somebody that would not outshine Royce
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Keyes because, again, I believe Royce Keyes should remain the leader.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: And I think Angelo– to me, between the two, if
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: it was Angelo or Tez– I would go with Angelo
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Dawkins because, one, you can create a somewhat small storyline
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: between him and Tez breaking up. That finally lets freeze
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Tez to go solo, which people have wanted for the
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: longest time. Dawkins has a place where he doesn't fall
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: by the wayside because he's now with this top heel faction.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: In the 9-4-6.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: Get you a little storyline there. You get you a
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: little feud going there. You know, 9-4-6 helps Dawkins out.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: So Dawkins would kind of come out on top of
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: the feud. And I think Tez can lose a feud
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: like that and be okay because that would basically just
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: be the catalyst for him to finally step off as
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: a solo act. And then now he goes off on
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: his own. And Tez fully makes the break with him.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: There is potential in this faction if they invest in
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: it the right way.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: There's so much potential here.
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: It might be fun if they had like, you know,
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: the Street Profits getting ready for their match and they
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: get approached by Royce Keys and the guys and they're like,
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: They're trying to recruit Mello, say.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: And he's like, no, I'm not. They're like, well, we
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: want an answer later or whatever. And then after they
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: win their match or whatever, they come down and they're like, well,
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: we're ready.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: And that's when Dawkins takes them out.
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: He's the one that's accepted the offer.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you could do a little feud with them
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: or something. And you give Montez some sympathy.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: He gets the empathy from being the guy who got
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: turned on.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: He becomes instant babyface because they want to see him
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: get his leg back?
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, it's possible. I like that idea, Trent.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: If Fatu's still out, maybe he joins the Bloodline team.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Who, Tez?
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: You could do that. You could do that.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if Fatu isn't out, you know, Bloodline, you know,
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: obviously they keep everything in family, but, you know, if
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: that spurred him on me, he'd be like, look, You know,
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: he makes a plea to Roman and Naomi.
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: Naomi and Bianca are friends.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Like, he makes he makes a plea to to Roman
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: like look I know y'all need a fifth you know
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: I know Jacob's still out my boy dog I don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: know what's wrong with him but I gotta get at
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: him let me on the squad and you know Roman
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: considers it Roman says yeah.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: And then you got them to it the money is.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: There another Another person, I'm thinking who could take that
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: fifth spot for the bloodline. Hear me out. Seth Rollins.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: The fuck did I just say, man?
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, what do you think?
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: No?
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: No.
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: No? No?
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: I love your idea. I love your idea. You put
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: a whole fucking storyline together because now you got me
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: excited about something that they're not going to fucking do.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: And you found something, a storyline for two dudes who
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: are just fucking sitting in the back. When was the
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: last time we even saw them on TV?
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Who, Seth?
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: No, Street Profits.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Street Profits? Yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Not since they lost the titles that they had just
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: recently won back in the summer.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like they have a match every three
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: or four months.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: They show up.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: Right, right. For a week or two and then they disappear.
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that would definitely get two guys in the back
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: who aren't fucking doing anything. We'd love to see on
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: TV right now. You know, they wouldn't be in the
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: tag title scene, but they'd be on TV. Something interesting.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: New, fresh.
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: All right. I want to move on here. I have,
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: I want to talk about, bring it up on Fox News, uh,

  Speaker 6: So-and-so wrestler doesn't want to go. And I just go,
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: no shit. No shit. Like, we know these wrestlers don't
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: want to go, but.
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: The State Department has evacuated all non.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: The State Department has evacuated all non-essential personnel.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: You know, like, they're actively... It's.
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: Not like, hmm, maybe you should think about not going
• 53:33
  Speaker 8: to this area of the world.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: it is don't go and if you're there get out.
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: Right right how much money TKO.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Like but there's money though yeah I.
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: Know they have boxing they have Alvarez this weekend in
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: the stadium that's where they're going to move.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Money in the bank to that arena Yeah, I was
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: just looking it up.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: It's called the A & B Arena or Kingdom Arena,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: which is in Riyadh.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, basically what they decide is that shit's too dangerous.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: We better put a roof on this motherfucker.
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: Based on reports circulating this week, WWE and TKO could
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: lose somewhere between.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: $ 70 to.
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: $ 90 million in revenue earnings if Crown Jewel were canceled
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: and Saudi events did not take place. So between $ 70
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: to $ 90 million.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: Other reports saying Dave Meltzer says WWE might not permanently
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: lose the money if the event is merely postponed or relocated.
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: Under that view, WWE could add another Saudi event later
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: in the contract, meaning the revenue would be delayed rather
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: than lost. Yeah.
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know I sure as fuck wouldn't want
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: to go over there right now.
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: No.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Fuck no.
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: Where would be... I wonder where would be a safe
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: place for us to go? Like, if they come back
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: to the States. I mean.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: You got a whole ass United States of America to
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: fucking pick a building that's not doing something.
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: And, uh.
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: Damn, I.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: It's not as easy as just doing that either.
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: You've got all the people that work at the venue
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: that need to gather up.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: These events are not just the wrestlers.
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: It's all the sound people and the lighting people and
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: the wardrobe people and.
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: The catering people. Changing one of these things is not just, oh,
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: let's do it over here.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: Instead.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: The longer you wait, the harder and harder and harder
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: it gets.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: And that's what the real problem is, is the fact
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: that they've been dragging their ass for so long despite
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: the fact that the warnings have been out for so
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: damn long. They could have made this so much easier
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: on themselves had they just decided a month ago.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: When shit was.
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: Popping off over there.
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: Every other event except for the TKO shit has been
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: cancelled or postponed or moved or whatever.
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: The only thing is... They're boxing, they're wrestling, and they're
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: fucking the people that slap each other.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the power slap.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: Can we talk about that for a second? That might
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: be the stupidest thing in human history.
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: What's that? Oh, what former WWE world champion Jack Swagger does?
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: So stupid.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: It may be stupid as hell, but it's funny as
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: shit watching the people get knocked the fuck out.
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: So, so let me get this straight. Uh, when I
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: watch these videos, right. And I think to myself, Jack
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: Spire used to be a professional wrestler. Um, and I,
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: you know, we think how dangerous professional wrestling is, especially with, uh, concussions, right.
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: But now you, you are in a sport that legit
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: could give you a concussion just, just by participating, just, just,
• 57:14
  Speaker 6: They literally just slap the shit out of you. Like,
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: how are you not a little fucked in the head
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: after that, after a while? Like, I don't know. Being
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: the champion, is that really a flex? I mean, I
• 57:28
  Speaker 6: don't think so.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: Well, at least he's doing something. You know, he's getting
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: out there. Yeah, he's getting out there. He's getting out there.
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: Did anybody go and see the new Street Fighter? No?
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: Just me? Of course. You know, it's just a lot
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: of Cody. I'm not going to spoil stuff, but just
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: a lot of Cody scenes. Cody this, Cody that. Just
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: cheesy lines. I personally just can't take Cody Rhodes serious
• 58:12
  Speaker 6: as an actor because... I just see goofy Cody Rhodes
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: in a tracksuit on Monday Night Raw. Or Friday Night Smackdown. Anyway, Roman, great.
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to be getting a solo
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: film anytime soon. I'd rather enjoy it. I'd go and
• 58:37
  Speaker 6: see it again. I'd put it right up there.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I'd wait for streaming.
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, wait for streaming, but I enjoyed it as much
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: as the new Mortal Kombat, but that's not saying much
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: because I didn't really play much Street Fighter. But from
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: somebody who doesn't play Street Fighter, they gave me a
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: good understanding of what it was. And I'm hearing recently
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: that it's a three movie deal. So we could see
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: Cody Rhodes again and Roman again and again. and again.
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: So the, uh, the Cody Rhodes popcorn bucket, uh, the guile,
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: you know, head, the blonde hair. I did not buy it.
• 59:23
  Speaker 6: It was ridiculous looking.
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: So, but, uh, I'm interested in the movie, just not
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: interested enough to spend movie theater money on it.
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: Gotcha. Gotcha. Speaking of movies.
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: But I also have my expectations pretty low for this movie,
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: just because to me, for me, the bar for a
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: Street Fighter movie was set back in 1993 or 4
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: or whatever it was that the old Street Fighter 2
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: anime film came out. To me, that's still the fucking
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: gold standard for Street Fighter movies. A movie that came
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: out 30 years ago.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: And I ain't talking about the Jean-Claude Van Damme bullshit either.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: If you want to see a... And I'd be interested
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: to see what you think of it, Doyle. I mean,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: not Doyle, but Wayne.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: Since you have seen this new Street Fighter movie and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: you seem to enjoy that.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: You should go back and watch the Street Fighter 2
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: anime film from the 90s.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'll watch the anime one. Yeah, I did watch
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: the Jean-Claude Van Damme one, but yeah, I have not
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: seen that one. That movie's not... There's moments in that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: movie I think are awesome. Okay? Dude, come on.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: There's only one. Go ahead.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: There's only two good things from that movie. Only two
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: good things. One, Ming-Na Wen as Chun-Li looked apart, did great. Well,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say she did great. She looked apart.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: And it's Ming-Na Wen. She's awesome.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: Second good thing, Raul Julia's performance. Even though he was
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: not the best in Bison, he took the role for
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: his kids. Because they were big Street Fighter fans and
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: he thought this would be good for him. And you
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: got to give the guy credit because he was, I
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: think he had stomach cancer. Yeah, he had some form
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: of cancer because that's why he looked so small in
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: the film. Like he originally wanted to bulk up to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: play Bison in that movie. But then he found out
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: he had cancer and had to undergo treatment, which affected
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: his ability to trade for the film. So he couldn't
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: bulk up or anything. But he still manages to give
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: an incredible performance as Bison. And he gives one of
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: the coldest lines ever spoken in any film when he's
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: speaking to Ming-Na Chun-Li. And she mentions, you know, you
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: killed my father. And he gives the coldest fucking.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Line where he says.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 6: Can I deliver it?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: To you... Huh?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: Can I deliver it, sir?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what you said.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. For you, the day Bison graced your village
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 6: was the most important day of your life. But for me,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: it was Tuesday. Yeah, dude.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Don't know where that accent came from, but yeah, that's
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: the line. Ah, yes. I know.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: That line was cold as fuck. But that's the only
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: good thing about that movie. Everything else is trash. Yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, But yeah, go back and watch the anime
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: movie from the 90s. And let me know what you
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: think of that compared to this current, the new live action.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I saw a post today that Rusev has
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: had a better day than Rusev Day. Today, it's announced
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: that Rusev and former WWE wrestler... Lana, also known as
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: CJ Perry, are having a child together. So, congrats. Little,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: little Rusev. Let's just hope, uh, doesn't come out looking
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 6: like Bobby Lashley.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: I saw that post too. Somebody's like, Bobby, Bobby Lashley's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: the real father.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: That couple's had quite a history, huh?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they have. And that means Brian Russo might be
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: off the TV for a while. I don't know what
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 6: he's been up to.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: He hasn't been on TV.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: Nothing changes there. I think I saw rumors he was
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: going to be added to... Fuck. Ethan Page and.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: Fucking Big Cass.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Oh, yeah, Ethan Page, Big Cass, and somebody else. Yeah,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 6: there's a... Damn, I heard that too. Get Austin with them.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 6: Just, why? Come on, man. Just give us Enzo. Ethan Page,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 6: Big Cass, and Chad... No. Who else? I heard the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: same report too.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just them right now.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 8: I think it's done by now, but the rumor is
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: they're going to add Rusev to that crew.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay. Well, I guess this is like, we are
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 6: like stables. Everybody gets a stable. You know, there was
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: a time when we didn't have any stables, and it
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: was like just Judgment Day, right? And then after Judgment Day,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: we started getting more. We got the Bloodline, we got
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 6: the Vision, you know, Alpha Academy, LWO, And now we
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: get to 9-4-6. And we got a lot of trios, too.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: But when you got a roster so big, you kind
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: of have to, or you just kind of fall by
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 6: the wayside. What else did I want to say? Oh,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: did you guys know Stephanie Viqueira's out again? She has
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: an illness now. It's not... The report doesn't really say
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: what it is, just that she's going to be out
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: for a while because she has an illness. She's going
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: to be out indefinitely. She feels like she just came back,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: and now she's out again. I mean, that's... Damn. No
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: wonder why they try to give her the title as
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 6: soon as she comes back, and then something happens, and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: then she's out again. That's rough, man.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: They didn't try to give it to her.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: That was.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: We all know what that was. That was just a
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: money thing for the crowd. I don't think they're taking
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: it off for so quickly was because of her illness
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: or anything. I think that was just, Oh, we're in Chile.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: Let's do a thing for the crowd and capitalize on
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: the moment. I don't think they ever really wanted to
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: take the title off live in the first place, but
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: you know, can't let a viral moment go.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Can't let a viral moment go by.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 6: WWE executive director, creative writing, and talent Bruce Prichard reported
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: may be transitioning into a new role within the company
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: in the near future. According to PW Insider, Prichard is
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 6: expected to step down from his role as full-time after
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 6: WrestleMania 43 in April, allowing him to work as a consultant,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 6: which won't require him to be located in Stanford, Connecticut. Uh,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: he's going, he's going to be going, uh, undergoing some
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: serious surgery. And that's one of the reasons why he'll
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: be stepping down. Uh, that could be good for the company.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 6: I think getting pressured out of there. Yeah. I mean,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 6: Michael Hayes is another one. We need to get out
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 6: of there.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah. There's some, the more, the more Vincent Jason people.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: There's word that Michael Hayes will be, I think he
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: just appeared on, uh, Stephanie McMahon's podcast and mentioned that
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: Triple H has already chosen Bobby Roode to basically be
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: his successor whenever he decides to step down which if
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: that decision's already been made then it would seem to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: me that sooner rather than later that we may see
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: Hayes step down as well so and yeah this is
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: to me this is a potentially this should be good
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: news for the WWE getting some new faces, some younger
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: minds in there in the creative space, coming up with
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: some hopefully newer and refreshing storylines going forward, or at
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: least in the future. Obviously, Triple H will still always
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: have the final say, and we can never, you know,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: we can't understate TKO's potential influence at any given moment
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: that they decide. that the dollars ain't adding up the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: way they want them to, but hopefully this can be
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: nothing but good moving forward creatively. You know, they already
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: got Bobby rude. As we mentioned back there, they've gotten, uh,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: what Tyler Bate and Pete Dunn are producing matches and stuff.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe they can get in on the creative end as well. So,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: bringing in some fresh ideas so I will say hearing
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: this news made me more optimistic than pessimistic okay oh
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: I agree just old blood say what the guy's been
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: there for 40 years.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: You know like yeah Maybe even Regal.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: Might even see Regal take a more prominent role in
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: creative direction, which even though he is an older guy, obviously,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: I would not be opposed to it because he's one
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: of the older guys who I think still has a
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: good mind for the current product.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: I agree with that. Yeah.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 6: It'd be nice to see him back. I liked him
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: when he was general manager.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I don't need him on TV.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: You don't need him on TV? I mean, just to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: have him come back?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: Not just.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: He has a good mind for the business. His influence
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: can be backstage in the product and be seen in
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: the product. He doesn't have to be an on-screen character
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: for that to happen.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: Right. Hmm, okay. Uh... I thought it'd be cool if
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 6: he would come back just once a year, you know?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: That's all he needs, just to come back once a year.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: Just to say war games!
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: Ah, yeah, dude. I mean.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: They appear to have handed that over to Adam Pearce now.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: Nah, you need to bring it back. Here we go.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 6: War games! Yeah. War games! I knew I had it
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: here somewhere.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, the World Tag Titles are actually going to be
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: going up for a championship match. We're going to have
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: Braun Breaker and Austin Theory, where I don't know where
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: the hell he's been the past two weeks, versus Money
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: in the Bank briefcase holder, Penta. So, getting greedy, man.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: Getting a title when you already have a briefcase. I
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: don't know how you wiggled your way into that with
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: Javon Evans. What a weird.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 8: And, man, I don't... The only team who can get
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 8: to go to Saudi Arabia, Matt.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: You'll go? You'll go? Great, you're a tag team.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: I think you're right. I think you're right. It's like,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: to me, if you're going to have Penta win his
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: first tag titles, why would you not do it with
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: him and Ray Phoenix? Right? Yeah. Why Javon? Javon can't
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: find anybody else to tag with to win his first
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: tag titles. Well, I mean, I guess it keeps.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: In their mind, they still think of the Lucha Bros
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: as this huge thing that they can keep in their
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: back pocket until quote-unquote the right time.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 6: I think after that fucking great match that they had
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 6: and him getting the briefcase finally, I mean, I think
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: he would be an ideal person. great person, but.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, I want to see the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 6: tag titles off of Braun Breaker and Austin Theory. They're
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: not doing jack shit with them. Braun Breaker, I think,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: get it off of him before the Rumble. Whether he
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 6: wins the Rumble or not, I would like to see
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: him focused on a singles title. He's not. He was just,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry to say, he was just a placeholder for
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: that title until Logan Paul comes back. I don't know
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: if they're just going to hold on to it until
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: Logan Paul comes back and then he just hands it
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: to them, and then that's it. And then they fucking
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: lose it the next week on Raw. But, uh, we
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 6: gotta do something with them, right? So there's potential for
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: them to get lost in the sauce this week and
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: swap hands finally. And then, you know, Penta and Javon
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: will lose it to a heel tag team, an upcoming
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: heel tag team. Whether, it's like, I don't know. What
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 6: happens if the 9-4-6 decide they want tag titles now?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say, have those guys even
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: had a match? The tag team?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: No, not on the main roster.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Just them two? No, their first match was what was it,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: last week or something?
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: The three-on-three.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's interesting as well. It's like, you know,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: you could free up those tag titles or something like that.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: Tournament of serious competition there. Just have, just demolish the, the,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: the money in the briefcase guy and, and an upcoming
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: Javon Evans is smashed by these two fucking heels.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: So, uh, that's something that can take place post war games,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: you know, after this feud, which hopefully again, they should
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: come out on top of, cause I don't think it
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: would hit the same if they lose that few and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: they'd be like, damn, we lost this one. Now we're
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: going to do, Oh, I guess we're going to beat
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: up on some tag teams. It's not going to hit
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: the same.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: And if they get beat the bloodline, come out on
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: top of that and then turn their attention to the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: rest of the roster and start running a rough shot
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: over everybody, then you got something.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: What are we looking at for the female side for
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: war games? Um, I got for Team Babyface, Stephanie Viqueira,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 6: if she's back, Becky Lynch, EO Sky, Tiffany, and Chelsea.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: The heel team, Liv Morgan, Raquel, Roxanne, Nikki Bella, and
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 6: Blake Monroe. That'd be my women's heel team right there.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: There's no big group that's dominating. I guess you could say.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: No, Fatal Influence.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: Fatal Influence or.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Damage Control.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just like these three woman teams. There's no
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: larger group, so it's three women and two random heels.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 6: You even throw in Jade Cargill and the new female
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: tag champs. So, I don't know. It's... Intriguing where that
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: could go. Who has the United States, the Women's United
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 6: States title right now? I'm drawing a blank. Because Raquel... No.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 6: Raquel has the Intercontinental, which she hasn't done jack shit
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: with since she's had it. She put some barbed wire
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: on it one week, took it off, and that was it.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. There you go.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that's right, that's right. Because then they had
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: the tag titles. They had all the gold for, like,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 6: all but five minutes. And then, yeah, then they lost
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: the tag titles.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 5: So.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 6: And then on the men's side, Chad Gable has been,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: you know, week after week, putting the IC title.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: On the line.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: And, um.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Still in the show every week.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, every week, man. Putting that title on the line.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: He looks like he might be injured, which sucks because
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: he finally gets some gold. He's putting the title on
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: the line every week, putting on some stellar matches, making
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: it the workhorse title.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: Then, yeah, he gets hurt. Trick Williams, United States champion,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: recently challenged Sami Zayn for a WWE title shot. And
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking to myself, if I was Sami Zayn, I
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: would have been like, fine. I'll put my title on
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: the line if you put your title on the line.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: But no, we're not going to. That's too good of
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: a storyline right there. Title for title. They wouldn't do that.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: It's obvious that Trick's not going to win.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: Why would you do the obvious not going to win
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: and make him lose his title at the same time?
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: A guy who doesn't need it.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: I still believe that he doesn't need the U.S.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Title.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 6: He should have stayed on... Damn it. Who had it
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 6: before him? Who did he win it from? Because I
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: believe it should have stayed on Baron Corbin. Yeah, it
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 6: should have stayed on Baron Corbin. Because then Baron Corbin
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: could be running through a bunch of face wrestlers and
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: Trick Williams should be focusing more on the WWE title scene.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: Instead of, he's bigger than the United States title, I think.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: He's there, man. He's there.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: Except he can't come out of, he can't lose a
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: feud to Baron Corbin and then focus on the WWE title.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: That kills his credibility.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: But you need that transition.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: He needs to drop that title. Again, Baron Corbin's not
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: there to be that guy.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: He's there.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: I hate to steal from Michael Hayes right now, but
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: he's there to make the other people look good.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: He is genuinely there to do that role. unlike Chelsea Green,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: who can be that top person on her own. Baron
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: Corbin is genuinely enhancement talent at this point.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 6: Bruce is that way, too.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: And that's not a knock on him.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: That's not a knock.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: Because he's the perfect type of guy to fulfill that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: role because of how good of a worker he is.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: He gives those guys the reps with a pro that
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: can make them look good and give them much needed
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: in-ring experience to help them look better when they step
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: up to the next level.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, he's going to be written off TV for
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: a couple weeks because, you know, Cody Rhodes punting him
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 6: in the head. And when Cody Rhodes punts you, you know,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: you're out for a couple weeks. You know, same thing
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: with Orton punts you, except if Orton punts Cody Rhodes,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: you're on Raw the next day with a black eye. But,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: you know, yes, Baron Corbin will be out indefinitely due
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: to concussions and other issues to the head by Cody Rhodes. Yeah,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: we still got that feud going on. By the way,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: in case you're interested in that, Cody Rose and Orton.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: We also have Bailey and Lyra still. They had a
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: street fight this week, but that feud is still going.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: Hopefully it's the end of this feud. Hopefully it's done.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: We can move on.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised Bailey won.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it seems like her role now is
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: only to put people over.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: But, I mean, I'm glad she won. I mean, she's
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 5: kind of been getting shit on for the past couple years,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: it feels like. So, yeah, I was happy she won.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 8: But I kind of thought the whole point of this
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: feud was to get Lyra over.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: And then.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know where.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: The hell Lyra goes from here. This character's kind of
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: silly that she's doing. But, I mean, it's not... Not
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: any less silly than coming out with bird wings.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: The problem with Lyra is the fans haven't connected to her.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to get somebody over when the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: fans aren't invested in her.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 6: No, you're right. It sounds like people are sitting on
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: their hands.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: At this point, fans still very much care more about
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: Bayley than they do Lyra.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe they shouldn't have broken up the tag teams too soon.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: What else? I got really nothing else. Unless you guys
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: can think of anything in Raw or SmackDown this week
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: that That really stuck out. We almost got another cash-in
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: teaser by Tiffany Stratton, almost pinning Liv Morgan. I believed it.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: I was excited. Didn't happen. Dominic was there pulling Liv out.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: I was like, damn. Goddamn. So close.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Did not buy it for a second.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: And once again, they continue to play in Chelsea Green's
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: face as the women's champion.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: Although Chelsea Green this week did not do herself any
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 4: favors by coming out there looking like a local jobber.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, oh.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: One, you the champ. You got to look like the champ.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the fuck she was wearing when
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: she came out there this week.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: What was that?
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: That shit looked like, right, that looked like some, you know,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: I just started wrestling six months ago and I'm having
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: my first match outfit.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: Looked like she was at the gym.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 8: I don't know, her husband posted a video of her
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: running to the ring in that outfit in slow motion,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 8: and I don't have the.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 5: Same problem DeRay seems to have with it. That's all
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 5: I'm going to say.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, same.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the physics were physicking.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that was the case, but when I was
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: watching it, my initial thought was just, what the.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Fuck was she wearing?
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: No, I see your point. I was just breaking the stones.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, who gets the last run in? Tiffy.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 4: So they're making the non-champion seem like the bigger deal than.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: The actual fucking champion. It feels like Chelsea.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: Green's title reign is one of those here motherfuckers damn moments.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: Fans wouldn't shut up about Chelsea Green ever since Michael
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: Hayes said what he said on Unreal and so they
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: were just like fine here damn she's a champion you
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: happy but there's not gonna book her with the respect
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: of a champion.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: Man it's harsh but probably true.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: She fucking lost she got pinned by Roxanne.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 6: I know she's been getting treated pretty rough since she's
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: been champ uh I still hate to see Tiffany That's
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 6: kind of her character Her character always gets treated rough
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: She gets thrown in a dumpster That's kind of who
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: Chelsea Green is.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah It's one thing for her to be treated rough
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: When she was like the heel Or the person helping
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: getting other people over But when she's the champion She
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: should be booked with a certain level of respect She's
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: still got the belt though Yeah I'm not saying they
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: have to make her like this overbearing, dominant person, but
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: compare her reign as women's champion right now to Sami
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: Zayn's reign as champion right now. Like, Sami Zayn is
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: being booked as a champion, but he's actually being booked
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: with a certain level of respect. Now, to Sami's credit,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: he's also doing a lot of the work himself on
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: the mic and in the ring. He's also being given
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: the chance to do that, too, and he's making the
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: most of it. they're not really giving Chelsea those opportunities.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: They're still booking, they still book her like she's second
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: fiddle to everyone else she's in the ring with. And
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: not really giving herself, not really giving her a chance
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 4: in those moments to.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: Rebut it.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: And to be like, you may be booking me like
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: I'm second fiddle, But watch what I do in this work,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: in this match, and watch what I do on this
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: mic to show you that, no, I'm actually top dog
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what? I was really excited when they
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: gave the title to Chelsea Green. It says... You have
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: those moments where you're really happy that the wrestler that
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: you've wanted for the longest time to finally get that gold.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 6: You know, like when.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: When Daniel Bryan finally won his title. When Sami Zayn
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 6: won his first title. You know, I was really happy
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: for him. You know, obviously when Cody Rhodes won his title.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: I remember when Seth Rollins won his first, you know,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: WWE title. How happy I was when Kevin Owens did.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: A lot of guys are really happy for it. It's just....
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: How are they going to... Now that they have the title,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 6: how are they going to handle them with it? And...
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: Sometimes that's a big Debbie Downer. Sometimes we get these
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: terrible title runs, and you just try not to think
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: of them, and they're kind of cringy, and you're like, okay, well,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: maybe they'll lose the title, and then creative will think
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: of a better thing to do with them once they
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: have the gold. Some guys just get protected way more
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: than others, way more than others when they have the gold.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 6: It's just a shame that they don't do that with Chelsea.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: Protect her enough. It makes me think, yeah, they just
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: don't take her as serious as their champ. But it
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 6: is her first time around, so we'll see. I got
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: nothing else, guys. I got nothing.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: I'm all out.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: I got nothing. I got nothing to bring. Tyler was
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 6: going to be on this episode, but we got him
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 6: a laptop. He's all set up. He came over to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: my house. We set up the software. He's got the microphone.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: He's got the headset. He's got everything, man. He's ready.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 6: But he also has kids. So he couldn't find somebody
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 6: to watch the kids tonight. And I was like, you know,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: it was like within the hour of the show. And
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 6: I was like, I get it, bro. I get it.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: You have kids. I don't have kids. I have cats.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: Not the same thing. But I get it, bro. You're busy. So,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: but the fact is, is like, now that he does
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: have a setup, you know, we could expect pump out, uh,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 6: more episodes, you know, like why, if we can get
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 6: two or three people, you know, and the idea is, uh,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: when I'm away or when you guys want to just
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: get together and talk wrestling, Tyler is available more than
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: I am sometimes. And he's open. to, you know, an episode.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? If you guys are interested,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: you guys want to do an episode, Tyler's available. Go
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 6: for it, you know?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: Right on. Right on.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: Dude, absolutely. I don't know what else to... I also
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: want to bring up, oh, you know what? When I
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 6: was up in East Providence, Rhode Island area, I was
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: looking for an action figure store because I like collecting
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: action figures. It's an unhealthy obsession in my house. Now,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: I think we talked about this before, like why I
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: don't collect. I collect Marvel, DC, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, whatever.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: cars but I don't do professional wrestlers and the reason
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: is because I would feel the need to have to
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: have every version of that wrestler I like Triple H
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 6: for example I would need how many versions of Triple
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: H to satisfy the idea of having enough of that
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 6: collection so I couldn't do it so I just stay
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: out of that Pandora's box I think that also goes
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: up there with Pop's I have two pop figures. Both
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: are from Dwayne Coleman, a listener of the show. A
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: Triple H and a Shawn Michaels DX pop. But I
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: will not buy pops. I will not invest. That will
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 6: be out of control. That's a rabbit hole I don't
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: want to go down. But anyway, what I'm getting at
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: is this action figure store that I found in East Providence.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: Dark Star Comics and action figures. It was in East Providence.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 5: It's pronounced Dark Star.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: Dark Star.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: That's better. You know, he has a– I went in there.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: I was shooting the shit with him for a while.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: He has a bunch of wrestling action figures. He says
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: there's several AEW wrestlers have stopped in there in the past.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: He's a big wrestling fan. You know, I tell him
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: I give him a shout out. I bought some action
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: figures off him. He gave me a sweet deal. So
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 6: if you're ever in East Providence, look up Dark Star
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 6: action figures. I did post. I made a post on
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 6: my social media. I bought an Iron Man and an
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: Omega Red action figure, and I left the link. But
• 1:31:18
