• WEBVTT 00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:13.779 What's up, friends? Welcome into another episode 00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:16.300 of Tables, Tailgates, and Toploaders. So happy 00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.760 to have you all aboard for this episode. I am 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.660 your host, as always, TB. Thank you all so very 00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:23.800 much for stopping in and checking out the 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.079 3Ts. Now, right up front, I do want to apologize. 00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:28.870 I missed... the episode, getting the episode 00:00:28.870 --> 00:00:31.670 out to you all last week. Well, sometimes life 00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:35.350 throws some barriers in your way. As it turns 00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:38.329 out, last Wednesday, I actually blew out my knee 00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:42.090 and suffered a complex tear of my meniscus. So 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:44.670 I have been on crutches trying to work my way 00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:48.469 through what the next few months of my life will 00:00:48.469 --> 00:00:51.990 look like. The surgeon is next up on my list 00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.390 and I will meet with him very shortly. But yeah, 00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:58.840 it's... caused a bit of a delay. So as I was 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.060 saying, I do apologize for not getting this episode 00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:05.439 out sooner, but it has given me some more time 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.180 to kind of dive into some of these things and 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:09.780 really see what we got going on. So we got a 00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:12.099 lot to get to. Let's not waste any more time. 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.700 Let's dive right in. Hobby Enthusiast Card Marks, 00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.840 you are on the clock. How are we feeling? I'm 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.060 feeling pretty good. Pretty good because I got 00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:23.939 to open a Jumbo Hobby of 2026 Top Series 1 Baseball. 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.760 Now for me, this kind of marks the start. start 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.120 of the 2026 baseball collecting calendar, if 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.920 you will. This is usually the flagship product 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.079 that Topps releases. Most people complain about 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.519 this, but look, if you love baseball, if you 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.359 love collecting, if you're not in it to flip, 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.560 this is the series that everyone looks forward 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.739 to because it kind of kicks things off and it's 00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:47.200 the start of the season. So I got myself a jumbo 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.890 hobby box and I was... able to open it so what's 00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:52.049 in a jumbo hobby we kind of previewed this already 00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:53.709 but i just kind of want to go through my experience 00:01:53.709 --> 00:01:56.409 with you 10 packs 40 cards per pack so out of 00:01:56.409 --> 00:01:58.870 a jumbo hobby you're looking at 400 cards now 00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.560 What they tell you on the box is one auto, one 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.739 relic per box guaranteed. They had removed one 00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:08.180 extra relic out, but many, I've watched a lot 00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:10.960 of videos, many are getting that extra relic 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.340 back. I was able to get two relics in addition 00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:16.900 to my auto. The auto I got was a 1991 throwback 00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:20.300 of third baseman Josh Young from the Texas Rangers. 00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:22.560 So, you know, not too bad, not too bad. I've 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.319 actually heard of him. He can actually play a 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:25.840 little bit. And if this guy could stay on the 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.900 field, he's going to be a pretty solid major 00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.439 leaguer. I'm not I'm not too upset about it and 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.620 the signature on this card. It looks pretty solid 00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:35.759 pretty good So some of these guys when I when 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.219 I look at some of the ways they sign it's literally 00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:40.340 like their initials They spend no time signing 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.000 and I'm like get out of here with this trash 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.620 Like I was looking at picking up a auto bills 00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.699 card of running back James Cook and he literally 00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.280 signed his cards with a JC And I was like, well, 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.500 someone thinks pretty highly of themselves to 00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:56.919 just sign your card with JC, but I digress. So 00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.479 back to the top series one, 400 cards in this 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.969 set. Or I'm sorry, in the box. And overall, I 00:03:02.969 --> 00:03:04.909 think the more time I spend with it, the more 00:03:04.909 --> 00:03:07.229 I like the design. I like the stitch look on 00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:10.289 the left side of the card. I'm really happy with 00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:13.650 the way they kind of went away from having the 00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:16.310 player's position designated by a baseball diamond 00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:19.430 and a red dot. I thought that was stupid. It 00:03:19.430 --> 00:03:21.750 made no sense. I mean, it made sense, but I just 00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:24.610 didn't like it. Here, their position, the player's 00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:26.530 position is listed straightforward. It's right 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:28.849 under their name. I like it much better. So thank 00:03:28.849 --> 00:03:32.080 you, Tops. The parallels are numerous. We've 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.180 talked about it before. For this Jumbo Hobby, 00:03:34.419 --> 00:03:37.400 you are looking at exclusive sand glitter parallels, 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.319 and I think the sand glitter parallels are pretty 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.879 sharp. The inserts, at least the ones I got, 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.780 they are okay. Not a huge fan of this one they 00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:48.789 call Big Ticket Player. It's kind of a direct 00:03:48.789 --> 00:03:51.710 knockoff of something Panini has done before. 00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:54.270 They're sideways cards, and it makes it look 00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:56.669 like a ticket stub. It's whatever. I'm not too 00:03:56.669 --> 00:03:59.210 thrilled about it. There is an all -tops team 00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:02.069 card insert that I think is pretty cool, as well 00:04:02.069 --> 00:04:03.930 as the greatest hits cards, but none of them 00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:07.509 really knock my socks off, so it is what it is. 00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:10.330 I ended up with four numbered cards out of this 00:04:10.330 --> 00:04:13.259 Jumbo Hobby. I got a gold, which is out of 2026. 00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:16.259 I got a purple rainbow foil out of 250. I got 00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:18.579 a gold sand glitter, which is actually out of 00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:21.339 50. So not too bad. Jordan Beck of the Colorado 00:04:21.339 --> 00:04:24.019 Rockies. Pretty good home run hitter. Maybe he 00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:25.720 can put it together. So that's not a bad card. 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.959 And then one of my relics was a 1991 throwback 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.939 rookie card. It's a player worn relic of Colson 00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:36.740 Montgomery. So I guess he's kind of high on the 00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:39.800 rookie list. And this card was numbered to 99 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.800 out of 90. So for a relic, most people look at 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.060 these relics and are like, yeah, this is stupid. 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.139 I also got a Julio Rodriguez game -worn, game 00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:51.459 -used memorabilia relic card. So hey, the players 00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:53.939 I got between the auto of Josh Young, the mem 00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:56.519 of Julio Rodriguez, and rookie Colson Montgomery 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.959 numbered. Hey, I can't really complain because 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.980 I've watched a lot of videos of people opening 00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:05.779 this stuff, and some people did not get anywhere 00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:09.360 close to as lucky as I did. Look, I know I didn't 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.500 make my money back. on the box but to me that's 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:13.839 never the goal i did enjoy opening it i thought 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.519 it was enjoyable i had a lot of fun also i went 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.720 to walmart i grabbed the hanger box and the hangers 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.160 have exclusive diamante parallels which for me 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.800 these are the best parallels of the whole product 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.220 i love the way these diamantes look I did manage 00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:31.259 to also grab an aqua hollow foil out of this 00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:33.379 hanger box, which is pretty good because it's 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.620 a retail exclusive and it comes out of like one 00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:39.339 out of every 500 packs. It's not numbered, but 00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:41.040 it's still pretty cool. So yeah, hangers, not 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.439 a bad option if you're looking to dive into retail. 00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:45.660 I've watched a ton of this being opened. I would 00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:48.519 totally suggest avoiding the value or blaster 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.959 boxes because they're garbage. There's absolutely 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.660 nothing in them. I do plan on grabbing some of 00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:56.500 these Easter egg holiday variation releases. 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.040 They're like $14 .99 and you get just as many 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.540 cards, I think, or almost as many cards as the 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:04.160 hangar. Maybe it's a little more than a hangar. 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.100 And I do like some of the Easter variations. 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.300 There's a lot of like pastels, some wild colors. 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.060 They're always something I look forward to because 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:13.220 I think they're fun. And then in addition, I 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:16.339 am gonna see about grabbing a super box or two. 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:18.339 These are usually aimed at the kids. They usually 00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:21.519 have, or historically have included the player. 00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:25.040 pin, which it is what it is. I got a pin of Dylan 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.240 Cruz, which is cool because I PC Dylan Cruz, 00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:29.000 but this year it's a little different. They got 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.319 rid of the pin and they have replaced it with 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.800 a mini Funko Pop, which I am on board. I love 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.120 Funko Pops. Some of my favorite things to collect. 00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:38.639 I've been working on a pretty good collection 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.180 of WWE Funkos, so this is right up my alley. 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:44.360 So yeah, I think I'm going to try to grab a Super 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.240 Boxer 2. I'm not done with Series 1. I know people 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.939 open like a Boxer 2 and then they kind of move 00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:53.459 on. I I do try to, I like to try to put the set 00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:55.519 together. But the problem is, the problem is 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.839 the presale has already gone live for Topps Heritage. 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.569 It hit. pre -sale on monday and yeah we're rolling 00:07:04.569 --> 00:07:07.389 like like i said once top series one drops now 00:07:07.389 --> 00:07:11.310 now we are off to the races and uh heritage has 00:07:11.310 --> 00:07:14.470 already hit the pre -sale market this year they're 00:07:14.470 --> 00:07:18.730 going to be focusing on the 1977 design so what 00:07:18.730 --> 00:07:20.589 they do they take modern players and they put 00:07:20.589 --> 00:07:22.610 it on the same card that was used way back in 00:07:22.610 --> 00:07:26.709 1977 look i know heritage isn't a set for everyone 00:07:26.709 --> 00:07:29.490 and i've kind of found that as i go through and 00:07:29.490 --> 00:07:31.069 i look to see See what people are saying. There's 00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:33.089 no middle ground when it comes to Tops Heritage 00:07:33.089 --> 00:07:35.550 Baseball. Either you love it or you hate it. 00:07:35.689 --> 00:07:40.779 I kind of love it. I don't know why, but I love 00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:43.680 it. I love the throwbacks. I'm a big nostalgia 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.720 guy. So anytime we can kind of go back and pay 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.339 homage to things of the past, I think it's a 00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:52.579 pretty good thing. Heritage, look, hits are usually 00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:55.360 way harder to come by because this set is usually 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.519 massive. This year, it's no different. We're 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.139 looking at 400 card checklist. In my opinion, 00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:03.120 it's the highlight of the set. The highlight 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.699 is always these on -card red ink autos. And this 00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:09.139 year, there's no different. These on -card red 00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.860 ink autos are numbered to 99. And I think they're 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:14.339 really sweet. Hopefully, we get a more detailed 00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:17.180 checklist pretty soon. And we could see who's 00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:19.339 actually signing in the product. And maybe we'll 00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:21.660 do a little breakdown of it as we get closer 00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:24.790 to. When this comes out, I think it's set to 00:08:24.790 --> 00:08:29.009 come out in April, but we shall see. But they 00:08:29.009 --> 00:08:32.429 put out hobby boxes. They put out megas and blasters. 00:08:32.509 --> 00:08:36.009 I was able to get a pre -order, a hobby and a 00:08:36.009 --> 00:08:39.429 mega box. So there's different variations, different 00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:41.970 parallels that come with each, but we shall see 00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:45.789 what happens. I am all in. I love heritage. It's 00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:49.169 one of my favorite things to dive into each and 00:08:49.169 --> 00:08:52.029 every year. So what else? What else tops? immediately 00:08:52.029 --> 00:08:56.409 capitalized on the USA Golden Medal hockey game 00:08:56.409 --> 00:08:59.789 victory over Canada on Sunday morning by immediately 00:08:59.789 --> 00:09:02.789 opening up the buying window for what we talked 00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:05.429 about numerous times, Tops Now. They love their 00:09:05.429 --> 00:09:07.629 Tops Now cards. Full disclosure, my daughter 00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:10.210 was not too happy with me for missing this game, 00:09:10.330 --> 00:09:12.990 but hey, what are you going to do? Sometimes 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:15.690 you can't do everything, but I probably should 00:09:15.690 --> 00:09:17.710 have watched this game. Having looked back and 00:09:17.710 --> 00:09:19.970 seen a lot of the replays and some of the highlights, 00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.610 it was pretty... pretty awesome. But yeah, this 00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:25.110 tops now card, it's a photo of Jack Hughes right 00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.509 after he scores the winning goal and it's entitled. 00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:30.850 Golden goal, exclamation mark, first men's hockey 00:09:30.850 --> 00:09:34.889 gold medal since 1980. Obviously, 1980, this 00:09:34.889 --> 00:09:36.929 is reference to the Miracle on Ice team that 00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:39.289 beat Russia and then went on to win gold in the 00:09:39.289 --> 00:09:43.289 final round game there in 1980 Olympics. But 00:09:43.289 --> 00:09:45.190 this is pretty cool. Pretty cool Tops Now card 00:09:45.190 --> 00:09:47.950 because it shows Jack and his mouth is all jacked 00:09:47.950 --> 00:09:49.909 up. I guess earlier in the game, he lost or broke 00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:52.740 his tooth. Pretty wild. There's a couple of different 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.759 photo variations of him. Show them in different, 00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:57.980 I don't know, different pictures, but it's pretty 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:00.179 cool. And they also have included a very special 00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:03.480 one of one gold edition card in which Hughes 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.019 actually signed the card and included the words 00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:08.840 quote golden goal exclamation mark. He put the 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.700 date on it to 22, 2026 and go USA. So this is 00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:16.000 a foil factor one of one. It's going to come 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.639 out as a redemption. So anyone that orders the 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.220 tops now card, if you win this. puppy you're 00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:23.039 going to be given a redemption card that you 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.039 obviously send off the tops and they will mail 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.960 you back this pretty amazing card and it's probably 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.539 going to fetch in these six figures easily once 00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:34.159 it is pulled so this is definitely really cool 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.019 stuff love to see it and then to close out this 00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:40.009 section with something i won't be buying Oh, 00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:42.529 but wait, what did you say, TB? There's always 00:10:42.529 --> 00:10:45.090 the if money were no object, buy the week segment. 00:10:45.149 --> 00:10:47.690 Well, there we go. Maybe I can buy it if money 00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:51.029 were no object. We bring you 2025 Panini Flawless 00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:54.110 Football, which is ready to drop this week. Yeah, 00:10:54.129 --> 00:10:56.769 listen, if you are in the market for some high 00:10:56.769 --> 00:10:59.350 -end cards, this is about as high -end as it 00:10:59.350 --> 00:11:02.309 gets, folks.

This is a 00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:15.990 little crazy if you ask me. So what are you actually 00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:18.090 getting? Well, first off, the cards come in a 00:11:18.090 --> 00:11:21.610 briefcase. That's right. It is a briefcase. So 00:11:21.610 --> 00:11:24.169 you know, Panini, it means business. You are 00:11:24.169 --> 00:11:26.750 looking at one pack, which contains 10 cards. 00:11:26.950 --> 00:11:30.669 And among those 10 cards, you will find six autographs, 00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:34.470 two memorabilia cards, one gem card, which I 00:11:34.470 --> 00:11:38.139 just... discussed with you and a additional memorabilia 00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:41.440 or gem card. So who doesn't want a gem, right? 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.019 And the briefcase, how much the briefcase worth? 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:46.820 Like I would love for this to actually be like 00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:48.620 a money in the bank briefcase, but Hey, that 00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:51.919 maybe, uh, I think there's another product that 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.279 comes out that they do at like that, but what 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.220 do I know? Um, But yeah, well, the cheapest I 00:11:58.220 --> 00:12:00.940 could find to get one of these right now on good 00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:03.720 old eBay, the cheapest I could find a briefcase 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.879 of Panini Flawless Football. You ready for this? 00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:11.179 $7 ,000. So if you could actually buy one of 00:12:11.179 --> 00:12:13.659 these at presale, you were looking at right around 00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:17.360 $3 ,750. So $3 ,750 for one of these briefcases, 00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:19.840 that has essentially doubled. And that is the 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.120 cheapest I can find. So $7 ,000. I absolutely 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.019 want a Josh Allen red. Ruby card to 25, but it 00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:30.240 may be a tad out of my price range. But hey, 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.379 if money were no object, here we go. So there 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:37.480 you go, folks. If you have an extra 7K laying 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.299 around in your couch cushions, go out, drop it 00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:44.120 on this Panini Flawless Football, and maybe you 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:48.360 can make a 10th of your money back along the 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.940 way as you open these 10 cards. Maybe make it 00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:55.529 a thing. Get some dinner. Clearly wash your hands 00:12:55.529 --> 00:12:57.470 first or glove up before you open this thing. 00:12:57.549 --> 00:12:59.830 But make it an event because it's not going to 00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:03.169 take you long. 7K doesn't go very far these days. 00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:07.679 But anyway, let's use good old J17 and his red 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.279 ruby card to 25 to segue right into the next 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.240 portion of the program. Bills Mafia, how are 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.240 we feeling? Look, there's not much going on. 00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:16.139 We are essentially in a holding pattern right 00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:19.019 now as there is not much happening with the roster. 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.419 The Combine, the NFL Combine is about to start 00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:24.279 and the focus will be watching these dudes run 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.379 around in their underwear for the next few days. 00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:29.559 So yeah, I don't usually pay attention too much 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.220 to the Combine. So just tell me how things go. 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.039 know who looks good i honestly just don't care 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.379 i don't care tell me how amazing these these 00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:41.639 guys are it's it's always frustrating because 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.779 you hear the stories about well this player didn't 00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.580 do this exercise and this player didn't throw 00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:47.480 and this player didn't run and this player didn't 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.919 jump and i'm just like what are we what are we 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.240 doing either make them all do it or make nobody 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.720 do it because it all comes down to like the quarterback 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.519 who's the guy that just won the heisman and the 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.580 the indiana quarterback mendoza he's going to 00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:02.039 the combine but he's not even going to throw 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.049 it's like well what are you doing there? You're 00:14:04.049 --> 00:14:07.330 just talking to people. You take pictures. Why 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:08.889 are you there? If you're not going to throw the 00:14:08.889 --> 00:14:10.929 football, aren't you? Isn't that your job? Throw 00:14:10.929 --> 00:14:13.570 the football. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. 00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:16.070 So he'll have his own private workout, his own 00:14:16.070 --> 00:14:18.250 private pro day. And who knows? He's going to 00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:22.330 go to Las Vegas Raiders and be terrible anyway. 00:14:22.450 --> 00:14:24.750 So who the hell cares? But anyway, what else 00:14:24.750 --> 00:14:27.110 in the Bills world? Offensive lineman Alec Anderson 00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:29.789 was signed to a one -year deal for $3 million. 00:14:30.470 --> 00:14:33.029 Bills Mafia, are we fired up about signing Alec 00:14:33.029 --> 00:14:37.029 Anderson to a $3 million contract one year? Well, 00:14:37.090 --> 00:14:39.009 you might want to be because this is probably 00:14:39.009 --> 00:14:41.590 going to be a sign of things to come. for our 00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:44.850 O -line heading into the 2026 season. If you 00:14:44.850 --> 00:14:47.610 kind of read the writing on the wall, I think 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:49.769 he could be in line for a starting gig because 00:14:49.769 --> 00:14:53.750 free agents David Edwards and Connor McGovern 00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:57.149 are off and running. In my opinion, I don't think 00:14:57.149 --> 00:14:58.629 we're going to re -sign these guys. There's no 00:14:58.629 --> 00:15:01.909 way we could spend that much on those two, Edwards 00:15:01.909 --> 00:15:05.309 and McGovern. So Anderson and his three mil for 00:15:05.309 --> 00:15:08.009 one year might be the next man up. I saw a free 00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:10.649 agency list of top players available. McGovern 00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:12.889 came in at number six. So I think he's going 00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:16.009 to be in line for quite a big payday. And I don't 00:15:16.009 --> 00:15:18.850 think the bills should be waiting there looking 00:15:18.850 --> 00:15:22.350 to shell out mega cash, considering our cap situation 00:15:22.350 --> 00:15:25.549 and how many levers we have to pull just to get 00:15:25.549 --> 00:15:27.809 compliant. I was looking over this free agent 00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:30.289 list and I was just wondering, how the heck are 00:15:30.289 --> 00:15:32.929 we going to afford any of these guys? We have 00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:35.649 a ton of roster holes to fill and it's crazy, 00:15:35.710 --> 00:15:38.029 but I encourage you all just go look at the free 00:15:38.029 --> 00:15:40.679 agency list. None of these guys really like blow 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.500 me away but could mike evans actually not be 00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.320 a tampa bay buccaneer if so how would we feel 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.120 about getting mike evans on the bills for one 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.330 year i mean number one is he healthy Does he 00:15:52.330 --> 00:15:55.190 actually want to leave Tampa Bay to try to play 00:15:55.190 --> 00:15:58.490 for a year or two and then, you know, ride off 00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:01.049 into the sunset? But could we maybe get him for 00:16:01.049 --> 00:16:03.710 one year and say, I don't know, 18 million? That's 00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:06.350 probably way under value. What is Mike Evans 00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:08.269 going to get on the free agent market? Is he 00:16:08.269 --> 00:16:10.409 going to get 25, 30 million? I mean, Mike Evans, 00:16:10.529 --> 00:16:13.269 he can't stay healthy. And like I said, number 00:16:13.269 --> 00:16:15.450 one, is he healthy? Number two, is he going to 00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:17.370 actually want to leave Tampa Bay? I don't know. 00:16:17.450 --> 00:16:19.730 I don't know. But I would be kind of interested 00:16:19.730 --> 00:16:22.720 if we could get him. for say like 18 million. 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:25.179 It's probably a pipe dream, but I don't know 00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:27.539 how many viable options are on this list. George 00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:30.419 Pickens, he was the number one player on this 00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:32.879 free agent list. He's not coming to Buffalo. 00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:34.779 He's probably going to end up being franchise 00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:37.340 tagged or re -signed with the Cowboys because 00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.860 it seems like they have endless amount of money. 00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:40.500 I don't know how they sign their players, but 00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:45.200 Rashid. Shahid, now he was also on the list. 00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:47.840 That's a maybe. I would say that's a maybe, depending 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:49.840 on what kind of deal he's looking for. He would 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.740 kind of fill a couple needs for this Bills team. 00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:55.720 He would be a speedy wide receiver, and he would 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.460 also fulfill the kick return, punt return, kickoff 00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:04.279 duties. So I'd be fine with seeing, is Shahid 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.700 a viable solution to help out in the wide receiver 00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:10.319 room? I'm not. saying he's like a number one 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.700 but and here again like i don't want to fall 00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:15.079 back into the same situation where it's the curtis 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.440 samuels and it's the josh palmers and it's the 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.140 rashid shahi is like it's always we always sign 00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:22.140 a bunch of threes and fours and then we never 00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:25.319 have anything so who knows but alec pierce i'm 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.799 not sold on alec pierce he's gonna want a ton 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.160 of money i i don't know if he's a fit for this 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.970 team i'm just He's okay. I think he's fine. But 00:17:33.970 --> 00:17:36.250 again, I don't want to pay some of these guys 00:17:36.250 --> 00:17:38.230 number one money when they're not number one. 00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:40.730 So it's a tough wide receiver free agent list. 00:17:41.029 --> 00:17:43.210 And I'm not sure I want to actually be shopping 00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:45.609 among these options. I'd be more willing to try 00:17:45.609 --> 00:17:49.069 and make a trade. And you know me, I am all in 00:17:49.069 --> 00:17:51.829 on these trades. I went nuts at the trade deadline 00:17:51.829 --> 00:17:55.490 and, you know, Brandon Bean won a TB for, you 00:17:55.490 --> 00:18:00.000 know, I got you in my sights award. or he stood 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.539 pat and didn't do anything, and I think it was 00:18:02.539 --> 00:18:05.539 a disaster. So, hey, look, I'm right back to 00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:07.200 the same names we talked about months ago at 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.279 the trade deadline, Chris Olave and Jalen Waddell. 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.599 I know what the prices were allegedly back then. 00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:14.960 They were too high for good old Uncle Scrooge 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.940 McBean. So what are the prices now for these 00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:19.009 guys? These two guys, what's the price going 00:18:19.009 --> 00:18:22.250 to take to get Alave from the Saints? What's 00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:24.450 the price going to take to get Waddle from the 00:18:24.450 --> 00:18:26.130 Dolphins? Look, the Dolphins aren't going to 00:18:26.130 --> 00:18:27.869 compete. Neither one of these two teams are going 00:18:27.869 --> 00:18:29.569 to compete for anything. So what really, what 00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:32.269 is the price? Tell me what the price is. It can't 00:18:32.269 --> 00:18:34.490 be as high as it was a few months ago. Maybe 00:18:34.490 --> 00:18:36.930 it's cooled off a bit. I would be diving right 00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:39.410 back into this trade pool and hopefully things 00:18:39.410 --> 00:18:41.769 will start to pick up shortly because free agency 00:18:41.769 --> 00:18:45.470 officially kicks off on March 11th. So get your 00:18:45.470 --> 00:18:48.400 popcorn. But more news is actually happening 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.799 off the field in the land of the Buffalo Bills 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.180 because if you haven't heard, stadium work on 00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:57.559 the new Highmark had to be stopped for almost 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.460 a whole week because there was significant vandalism 00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:03.140 to multiple areas of the soon -to -be -opened 00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:05.720 stadium. They got pretty upset about this because 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.920 a $100 ,000 reward was posted. I mean, $100 ,000 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.759 reward? This was a bigger reward than the Nancy 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.259 Guthrie story at first. I'm like, holy cow. You 00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:20.980 vandalized the new era stadium. People are coming 00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:23.940 for you. So $100 ,000 for anyone coming forward 00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:25.599 with deets on the culprits. And it looks like 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.539 it might have worked because as of, I think, 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.339 Saturday afternoon, two suspects have been identified. 00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:33.039 And they're saying the damage that was caused 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.470 by this graffiti was almost... or over $150 ,000. 00:19:38.769 --> 00:19:41.410 That's crazy. So I don't know. Help me make sense 00:19:41.410 --> 00:19:43.970 of this. Why do people have so much extra time 00:19:43.970 --> 00:19:47.250 on their hands? Go take a walk. Go play a game. 00:19:47.329 --> 00:19:49.990 Do a puzzle. Start your own podcast where you 00:19:49.990 --> 00:19:51.849 could come on and complain about everything like 00:19:51.849 --> 00:19:55.029 I do. How much time do you have on your hands 00:19:55.029 --> 00:19:57.049 that you've got to break into the new stadium 00:19:57.049 --> 00:19:59.910 and just destroy something people are trying 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:03.339 to create? I just don't. I hope these... idiots 00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:06.019 are not bills fans i really do i'm looking forward 00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.799 to seeing how this plays out but i think part 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.480 of their punishment needs to be that they are 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:11.480 forced to watch nothing but new york jets games 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.299 for the rest of time so i i don't know this just 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.019 It's so frustrating. But anyway, we are going 00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:19.279 to turn our attention to the squared circle. 00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:21.359 Wrestling Marks, you are on the clock. How the 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.759 heck are we feeling? We missed discussing the 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.099 last few episodes of Raw and SmackDown, but that's 00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:28.680 okay. We're rolling right into Elimination Chamber, 00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:32.759 which is coming up this Saturday, 7 p .m. Eastern 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.319 Standard Time from good old Chicago, the United 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.140 Center. The field for each chamber match is finally 00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:40.319 set after last night's Monday Night Raw, and 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.519 the card is ready to go. But a couple other things 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.680 before we preview the Elimination Chamber and 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.960 before I dive into my predictions. A few things 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.160 from Monday Night Raw last night. The theme that 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.259 was weaved throughout the entire episode was 00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:54.700 this tribute to AJ Styles. Now, if you have been 00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:57.319 a wrestling fan for any amount of time, if you 00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.740 watched last night and you didn't have this overall 00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:05.440 verboding sense of apprehension, congratulations. 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.079 Because I was thinking the entire episode that 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.859 this was nothing but a grand setup for some disaster, 00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:13.839 some beatdown. Some way to get another match 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.440 out of AJ. Another WrestleMania match. I was 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.420 a bit on edge. I'm thinking there's no way this 00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:23.240 is too perfect. It's going to lead to some disaster. 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:25.380 But thank goodness that's not how it turned out. 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.180 Because we've all been duped before. So I understand 00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:31.140 if you were a bit antsy like I was. But wrestlers 00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:33.539 were showing up all throughout the episode. Who 00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:36.359 have either feuded with him. Or tagged with him 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.019 in different companies throughout his career. 00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:40.359 It was pretty cool. I really enjoyed it. They 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.619 were all... coming to pay their respects. Then 00:21:43.619 --> 00:21:45.940 they played a really good promo package right 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.839 before his entrance into the arena. But it was 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:50.960 a really cool promo package. And again, look, 00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:54.140 I've talked about this before. This is the wheelhouse 00:21:54.140 --> 00:21:57.079 for WWE. They know how to do these promo packages 00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:59.480 probably better than literally anything else 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.500 they do. This was a great one. It showcased highlights 00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:05.500 from his entire career in TNA and New Japan in 00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:08.279 WWE. It was put together using the song Hire 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.579 by Creed, who, of course, was Also happens to 00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:13.880 be from Georgia, which is where AJ is from. The 00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:15.619 whole thing just fit together nicely. And of 00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:17.440 course, Monday Night Raw last night was from 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.980 Atlanta. So yeah, it was awesome. It was just 00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:23.319 very fitting. After the promo, then they hit 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.299 AJ's music. He comes out to the ring. And ringside, 00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.400 it was his family. It was his wife, his kids. 00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:30.680 They were all front row. AJ gives a pretty good 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.099 speech. He thanks everyone focusing on his wife 00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:35.640 and all the sacrifices she had to make raising 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:39.119 the kids and whatnot. It was awesome. Awesome. 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.220 Not awful, awesome. It was a perfect speech. 00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:45.720 I didn't think it went too long. I think it covered 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.900 all the bells and whistles, and then that was 00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:52.420 it. So he took off his vest. He laid it in the 00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:55.079 middle of the ring. He took off his gloves. He 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.220 said he didn't leave his gloves in the ring after 00:22:57.220 --> 00:23:00.220 his retirement match with Gunther because he 00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:04.220 wanted to bring them home to Georgia, and he 00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:06.519 took off his gloves and left them in the center 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.799 of the ring, and that was kind of a fitting send 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.069 -off. Then the whole roster of wrestlers and 00:23:11.069 --> 00:23:13.750 workers, WWE employees, they all came out on 00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:16.369 the ramp. Cool, cool stuff. And they had already 00:23:16.369 --> 00:23:18.789 rolled credits on the episode. So you think it's 00:23:18.789 --> 00:23:21.849 done. And then, of course, boom, the lights go 00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:25.009 out. The gong hits. And it's Undertaker's gong. 00:23:25.109 --> 00:23:29.529 And I was like, what? is happening oh no here 00:23:29.529 --> 00:23:33.289 we go it actually is going to be a disaster taker 00:23:33.289 --> 00:23:35.710 rides down on his motorcycle undertaker gets 00:23:35.710 --> 00:23:38.549 in the ring and i swear i i am not lying i thought 00:23:38.549 --> 00:23:41.529 for a second that this was going to lead to him 00:23:41.529 --> 00:23:44.289 challenging aj at wrestlemania for another match 00:23:44.289 --> 00:23:48.170 and i'm like oh lord please no this cannot be 00:23:48.170 --> 00:23:50.329 happening but thank goodness thank goodness i 00:23:50.329 --> 00:23:52.289 was wrong thank goodness he was not there to 00:23:52.289 --> 00:23:54.410 challenge him for a match he simply was there 00:23:54.410 --> 00:23:57.650 to pay his respects and to tell him that it was 00:23:57.650 --> 00:24:00.450 his honor to let him know that he was going to 00:24:00.450 --> 00:24:05.390 be inducted into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame. But 00:24:05.390 --> 00:24:10.460 I was thinking. Phew, that, you got me. You fooled 00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:13.720 TB yet again. Yes, I am a wrestling mark. Yes, 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.900 I fall for all these things. It's because I've 00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:19.599 been watching for 40 years. So, you know, the 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.700 highs and lows, it is what it is. But the place 00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:23.680 goes crazy. That was the show. It was a fitting 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.039 tribute to him. And I thought it was very well 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:28.200 done. Couple other notes. The CM Punk promo. 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.599 I don't know. I don't know. CM Punk, he comes 00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.039 out. He doesn't really talk about his match with 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.440 Finn. He talks about it like. A little bit. But 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.180 then he goes on to complain about Roman Reigns. 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.779 And he talks about all these what -ifs. And what 00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:44.400 if Roman actually showed up? And I'm like, how 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.839 many times have we heard this promo from... fill 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.140 in the blank. It's always somebody complaining 00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:52.559 that their opponent is never around. And it's 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.079 just not what I want to hear for the next two 00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.140 months leading into what I think is going to 00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:59.339 be a banger of a main event at WrestleMania. 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.619 Please tell me that this is not how we're paving 00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:06.029 the road to WrestleMania that all punk has. is 00:25:06.029 --> 00:25:08.089 going to complain about Roman never being there. 00:25:08.230 --> 00:25:10.450 We've heard this so many times. They did it with 00:25:10.450 --> 00:25:14.069 The Rock. They did it with Roman before. They 00:25:14.069 --> 00:25:16.769 did it with, I don't know. I'm just like, oh 00:25:16.769 --> 00:25:18.930 God, is there anything else we could talk about? 00:25:19.250 --> 00:25:21.569 And this is coming off the heels of their actual 00:25:21.569 --> 00:25:25.230 fire back and forth promo that these two had 00:25:25.230 --> 00:25:27.579 in the ring together. In my opinion, if you're 00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:29.759 just going to come out as CM Punk and trash the 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.440 other guy for not being there, don't come out 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.380 at all because I don't want to hear it. It doesn't 00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:36.099 make any sense. And you're not hyping up the 00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:38.880 match. You're just bitching because your opponent 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.359 has a better schedule than you. So, well, you're 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.240 the champion. You're supposed to show up. So 00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.819 get, I don't know. I don't know. I don't have 00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:49.339 any patience for that. But anyway, they did a 00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:52.019 backstage segment with Finn Balor and Judgment 00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:56.059 Day. And guys, I was really hoping 2026 is going 00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:58.880 to be the year of Finn Balor. But I think it's 00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.299 not going to be the case because I think they're 00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.940 foreshadowing a Dominic Mysterio interference 00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:05.480 at Elimination Chamber. Look, there's tension 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.200 backstage between JD and Finn and the Judgment 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.880 Day and Dominic and whatever. But yep, they did 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.259 this backstage segment. Finn wants to do it by 00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:17.619 himself, and then Dom says, well, no one was 00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:19.039 there for me, and blah, blah, blah, blah. Who 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.000 cares? Anyway, I think the Judgment Day is going 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.180 to ruin it come Saturday, but we'll talk about 00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:26.839 that in a minute. Natty versus Maxine, what was 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.380 this? I don't know what they're doing with this 00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:33.140 Maxine, with this Natty thing. They spent so 00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:36.019 much time hyping up Maxine, and she had a pretty 00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:38.799 good feud with Becky Lynch, and then that kind 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.430 of goes away, and then... This Natalia turns 00:26:41.430 --> 00:26:44.250 to Natty. Nonsense. And she's got the mouth guard. 00:26:44.509 --> 00:26:47.470 And she's. I don't. The whole character change 00:26:47.470 --> 00:26:49.710 again. And then Natty comes and just. It wants 00:26:49.710 --> 00:26:52.230 to beat everybody up. And she eliminated Becky 00:26:52.230 --> 00:26:54.730 Lynch in the Royal Rumble. You know I was frustrated 00:26:54.730 --> 00:26:56.829 with that. But now. So now we get this Natty 00:26:56.829 --> 00:26:59.509 versus Maxine feud. They have a match on Raw. 00:26:59.690 --> 00:27:02.289 It goes for less than two minutes. And Natty 00:27:02.289 --> 00:27:04.250 kicks her. They're fighting outside the ring. 00:27:04.349 --> 00:27:06.829 Around the barricade. They're fighting on the 00:27:06.829 --> 00:27:09.609 barricade. Natty kicks Maxine into one of the. 00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:13.380 posts. And it's like Maxine dies. She allegedly 00:27:13.380 --> 00:27:16.980 hits the post with her face, which didn't look 00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:19.720 that good. She falls on the mat and then she 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:23.779 just lays there unconscious. And two minutes 00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:26.920 and they call for a ref stoppage. And I'm just 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.839 like, what are we doing? This is dumb. So I have 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.099 no idea where this is going, but it's terrible. 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:33.880 I don't want to see it anymore. Maxine's getting 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.869 worse. I don't know what they're doing with Natty, 00:27:36.910 --> 00:27:39.890 but I digress. Brock Lesnar, he came out with 00:27:39.890 --> 00:27:43.529 Paul Heyman. And I think Paul Heyman said the 00:27:43.529 --> 00:27:46.650 name Brock Lesnar maybe 50 times in a three -minute 00:27:46.650 --> 00:27:49.450 promo. It was getting so ridiculous and redundant. 00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:53.750 And the purpose was to declare a WrestleMania 00:27:53.750 --> 00:27:57.329 open challenge to anyone who wants to face him 00:27:57.329 --> 00:28:00.410 in two months in Las Vegas. And I'm like, oh 00:28:00.410 --> 00:28:02.930 boy, I don't know where this is going. We have 00:28:02.930 --> 00:28:06.019 two months to figure this one out. I hope it's 00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:08.640 Obafemi. I hope once he knocks off a few more 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.359 mid -carders and really establishes himself as 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.079 a dominant force in the WWE, I hope he challenges 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.339 Brock. I would love to see Oba versus Brock. 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.480 Obviously, there was a backstage segment involving 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.920 Rusev and Oba, which I think that'll be good 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.980 to showcase some of Oba's power. And that'll 00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:27.099 be another good opponent as he works his way 00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:29.079 up the roster. And then ultimately, hopefully, 00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:31.400 this leads to him challenging Lesnar. I would 00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.619 love to see that WrestleMania match. But anyway, 00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:36.579 let's get to the Elimination Chamber preview. 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.839 There are four matches on the card, plus we have 00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:43.440 a reveal of the Mystery Crate. If you have not 00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.680 seen, there's a, I don't know, what is it? seven 00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:49.500 foot tall six foot tall wooden crate that has 00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:51.740 been passed back and forth between raw and smackdown 00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:54.000 over the last few weeks and it has a date on 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:59.380 it 22 28 20 26 or do not open until february 00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:02.599 28 20 26 which is obviously the date of the elimination 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:06.579 chamber so finally adam pierce he they've been 00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:08.140 sending this thing back and forth the general 00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:10.640 managers it's kind of been Stupid, but finally 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.259 he sent it to Chicago and they're going to open 00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:16.359 it together on the show. So most likely this 00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:20.380 is going to be dumb. because if you are thinking 00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:23.859 about this in the scope of reality, it actually 00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:25.980 can't be a human being because there's no one 00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:28.359 that would be alive still when they open this 00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.160 thing. So yeah, you don't want to open this crate 00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:33.339 and have a dead wrestler inside. That would be 00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:36.740 weird. Not sure that would be the gimmick they're 00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:39.720 going for. But look, wrestling is supposed to 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:42.319 make us suspend disbelief occasionally. So I 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:44.579 would totally be on board if it actually was 00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:48.660 a live living. And I would love for this to be 00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:50.799 Chris Jericho because it would be fun. It'd be 00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.960 interesting. And yeah, what better story to tell 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.140 than Chris Jericho living in a crate for a month? 00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:59.279 I think that would be hilarious, but it's probably 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:00.960 going to be something stupid. It'd probably be 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.099 like Mark Henry, Mae Young's love child, which 00:30:03.099 --> 00:30:06.940 was a hand or some gobbledygook or 2 .0. We shall 00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:09.940 see. But I do like, I do like when they do stuff 00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:12.180 like this, it's a little extra fun, a little 00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:15.380 extra intrigue. That is sprinkled into the shows. 00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:17.299 But anyway, let's get on to the actual card. 00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:20.200 This is a four -match card, and we are going 00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:23.700 to start previewing with the Women's IC Championship. 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.240 The champ, Becky Lynch versus AJ Lee. Look, every 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.579 one of these matches, I'm going to tell you who 00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:30.779 I want and who I think is going to win. Who do 00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:32.660 I want to win this match between Becky Lynch, 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:34.819 who's the champ, and AJ Lee? I want Becky Lynch. 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.259 Y 'all know I love Becky Lynch. Who do I think 00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:39.200 is going to win this match? I think it's going 00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.980 to be Becky Lynch. And just hear me out here. 00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:43.500 Here's why. Because I don't think they can have 00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:48.079 both CM Punk and AJ win on the same show. And 00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.119 we're going to get to probably my most disappointing 00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:52.339 pick here in a second. But two hometown heroes 00:30:52.339 --> 00:30:55.160 winning in the same show, in the same venue, 00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.539 on the same night. I don't think that's ever 00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:59.660 going to happen. I don't think both of them can 00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:01.660 win because I think that would be dumb. So I 00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:03.740 think somehow Becky Lynch cheats and manages 00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:05.759 to pull out the dub. And I think this story is 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.630 going to continue until WrestleMania. where I 00:31:08.630 --> 00:31:10.410 think she's going to ultimately lose the belt 00:31:10.410 --> 00:31:13.170 to AJ at WrestleMania, who's probably going to 00:31:13.170 --> 00:31:15.269 go on a little run with it. But look, the return 00:31:15.269 --> 00:31:18.369 of AJ Lee to me, y 'all might think I'm crazy. 00:31:18.490 --> 00:31:20.970 I just think it's been completely underwhelming. 00:31:20.990 --> 00:31:24.549 I am not feeling this at all. Sometimes nostalgia 00:31:24.549 --> 00:31:27.450 tricks us into thinking that we want to see certain 00:31:27.450 --> 00:31:29.369 things. And then when they actually happen, we 00:31:29.369 --> 00:31:32.309 go, uh, yeah, that's not really what I wanted 00:31:32.309 --> 00:31:34.950 to happen. I was actually okay not having this 00:31:34.950 --> 00:31:37.650 happen. We've been asking, we've been wanting, 00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:39.309 we've been waiting for her to come back for 10 00:31:39.309 --> 00:31:41.170 years. Well, the more I think about it, 10 years 00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:43.430 is a long freaking time. And sometimes we don't 00:31:43.430 --> 00:31:46.549 know what we want. Sometimes, like I said, sometimes 00:31:46.549 --> 00:31:49.089 it's better to not get the things you want. A 00:31:49.089 --> 00:31:51.289 lot changes in a decade. And the whole landscape 00:31:51.289 --> 00:31:53.150 of women's wrestling is completely different. 00:31:53.210 --> 00:31:57.150 And I'm not sure I need AJ in the mix of these 00:31:57.150 --> 00:32:01.680 current. WWE women's wrestlers, women superstars. 00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:04.119 I think she stood out so much before a decade 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.140 ago because the overall product for the women 00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:09.019 a decade ago was kind of trash. It was kind of 00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:13.339 garbage. So there was not a lot of focus on actual 00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:15.359 wrestling back then. Y 'all know I love Becky 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.519 Lynch. I think she elevates each and every feud 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.380 she is in and I want to see her keep the belt 00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:22.259 at least for a little while longer. So I am going 00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:26.609 with Becky Lynch for the IC title. What else 00:32:26.609 --> 00:32:28.410 we got? Like I said, this is going to lead right 00:32:28.410 --> 00:32:31.450 into the World Heavyweight Championship. I don't 00:32:31.450 --> 00:32:33.490 think they can have two hometown heroes win in 00:32:33.490 --> 00:32:34.890 the same night. I think that would be stupid. 00:32:35.029 --> 00:32:38.369 And this unfortunately leads me to this painful, 00:32:38.490 --> 00:32:42.230 painful pick. I have said I want this to be 2026. 00:32:42.390 --> 00:32:44.630 I want this to be the year of Finn Balor so badly. 00:32:44.789 --> 00:32:47.789 I think he deserves to be world champion. I think 00:32:47.789 --> 00:32:49.789 he deserves to have great feuds with some of 00:32:49.789 --> 00:32:52.190 the top guys in the company. I'm just not sure 00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:54.170 the company sees it this way. I don't know why. 00:32:54.329 --> 00:32:57.079 Look, I get it. Unfortunately, the writing is 00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:59.180 on the wall. The backstage Judgment Day segment. 00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:01.279 We talked about it before. The infighting between 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:03.579 him and Dom and JD. It's been happening for months 00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:05.059 and months and months and months and months and 00:33:05.059 --> 00:33:08.359 months. And I just feel like Finn wants to do 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:11.660 this himself. He thinks he has a real shot. Dom 00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.380 is going to interfere some way, somehow. He wants 00:33:14.380 --> 00:33:17.079 the spotlight. And it's just going to be some 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:19.700 shenanigans for sure. Who do I want to win? Look, 00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:23.500 it's no secret. I want Finn Balor to win probably 00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:25.839 more than anything in this whole card. I want 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:28.839 Finn Balor to come out of Chicago as the world 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.220 heavyweight champion. But who do I think is going 00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:33.099 to win CM Punk? I think it's going to be some 00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:35.500 sort of schmaz. I think Dominic Mysterio is going 00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:37.720 to cost Finn the title. They're going to go on 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.859 to feud for the IC belt at WrestleMania. And 00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:43.299 I think Judgment Day is going to shake up. They're 00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:45.500 going to have a blow up of some sort. And yeah, 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.400 so the outcome of this match, I think is going 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:49.779 to be the most disappointing. I think this match 00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:51.779 is going to be an absolute banger. Shout out 00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:54.460 to Sheamus. But ultimately, I think Finn is going 00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:58.420 to come up short. It pains me to say it. Anyway, 00:33:58.460 --> 00:34:00.839 let's move on to the women's chamber match. The 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.700 winner of this match is going to go on to face 00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:06.880 Jade Cargill. And this was decided after Monday 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.920 Night Raw. Liv came out. She was making her decision 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.280 on who she was going to face at WrestleMania. 00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.920 And she flat out knocked Stephanie Veck here. 00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:19.280 to the mat she hit her with the microphone and 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.920 obviously that was her choice so she is going 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.500 to move forward with feuding with stephanie vacare 00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:27.179 so now that you know that side of the wrestlemania 00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:30.800 matchup jay cargill is your heel champion your 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.699 heel women's champion so this eliminates half 00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:36.380 the chamber entrance it's just they have zero 00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:38.880 chance here the entrance you have tiffany stratton 00:34:39.210 --> 00:34:42.309 Ray Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Kiana James, 00:34:42.570 --> 00:34:46.710 and Raquel Rodriguez. There's no way they are 00:34:46.710 --> 00:34:49.789 going to do a heel versus heel match with Jade 00:34:49.789 --> 00:34:52.510 Cargill at WrestleMania. It just does not have 00:34:52.510 --> 00:34:55.630 anywhere near enough star power. So I'm sorry, 00:34:55.710 --> 00:34:58.230 Asuka. I'm sorry, Kiana James. Look, I would 00:34:58.230 --> 00:35:00.590 love to see Kiana James get a run. I think she's 00:35:00.590 --> 00:35:03.190 great. I think she needs to get away from the 00:35:03.190 --> 00:35:06.980 whole manager gimmick. Because she can wrestle. 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.900 And Raquel, I think she could do great too. But 00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:14.340 sorry. Asuka, James, Raquel, you got no chance. 00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.940 Nope. Sorry. That leaves Tiffy Time, Rhea Ripley, 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.760 and Alexa Bliss. We've seen Tiffy Time. And if 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.199 I'm being honest, I hate to say it. I just don't 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.119 think she's getting much better. We've seen Tiffy 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.340 versus Jade. It wasn't very good. Her matches 00:35:29.340 --> 00:35:31.900 recently, I know she came back from an injury, 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.139 but her matches, Tiffy's matches lately have 00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:36.219 not been that great. They've been a little rough, 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.340 which leaves you with Rhea Ripley and Alexa Bliss. 00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:42.079 Who do I want to win? I would love to see Alexa 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:44.739 Bliss win this thing. I think they could tell 00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:48.199 a really good story leading into Mania that involves 00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.260 Charlotte doing the whole acting like a friend 00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:53.400 thing. Look, they kind of hinted at it, acting 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:55.380 like a friend along the way. This would lead 00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:57.139 to jealousy and bitterness. You know, this is 00:35:57.139 --> 00:35:59.260 a typical Charlotte story. We've seen it before 00:35:59.260 --> 00:36:00.880 where she acts like she's your friend and then 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.920 she turns on you and then Charlotte would somehow 00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.599 cost Alexa the match at Mania. The friendship 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:08.519 breaks up or maybe she does win. Maybe she beats 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.440 Jade and then right after it, Charlotte. It turns 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.780 on Alexa because she's even more. jealous and 00:36:13.780 --> 00:36:16.420 more bitter over Alexa winning and the friendship 00:36:16.420 --> 00:36:18.539 breaks up and the feud is off and running. I 00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:20.260 think that would be a good story to tell. So 00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:23.039 who do I want to see? I want to see Alexa win, 00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.039 but the easy choice, who do I think is going 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.239 to win? I think it's going to be Rhea Ripley. 00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:29.320 Look, everyone loves her. This is going to be 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.960 power versus power. Rhea versus Jade is a pretty 00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:35.059 good power showdown. Jade's not going to be able 00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:37.460 to push Rhea Ripley around like she has some 00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:39.400 of these other opponents. I think it could be 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.860 good for Jade to put her up against the best 00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:47.139 and they've been giving jade some less than ideal 00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:49.480 feud so far. And I think this would be a chance 00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.559 for her to kind of prove herself against some 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.739 of the top tier talent. I would be good with 00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:57.119 either Rhea or Alexa, but for the purposes of 00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.460 this show, I think who I think is going to win 00:36:59.460 --> 00:37:02.280 is going to be Rhea Ripley. And then finally, 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:05.079 we get to the men's chamber match. Wow. You want 00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.500 to talk about a little bit of a unique field. 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.840 We have Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, La Knight, 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.219 LA Knight, Javon Evans, Trick Williams, and the 00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:17.380 final entrant, Jey Uso. And look, if you saw 00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:20.880 the match on Monday Night Raw, the final qualifying 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:24.159 match, I would love to know if Jay was actually 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:27.280 supposed to win that qualifying match. He was 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.500 going up in a triple threat match against the 00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:32.929 OG El Grande Americano and Bronson Reed. Bronson 00:37:32.929 --> 00:37:35.030 Reed clearly hurt his right arm. It looked like 00:37:35.030 --> 00:37:37.269 either he tore his bicep or something, but he 00:37:37.269 --> 00:37:39.349 basically took himself out of the match. And 00:37:39.349 --> 00:37:41.309 I wonder if they had to call an audible and went 00:37:41.309 --> 00:37:43.289 with Jay winning. They had to come up with something. 00:37:43.429 --> 00:37:47.150 So Jay took the dub. But I think this is an interesting 00:37:47.150 --> 00:37:49.250 field. Just like with the women, the winner of 00:37:49.250 --> 00:37:51.849 this chamber is going to go on to face the SmackDown 00:37:51.849 --> 00:37:55.690 champion, WWE champion Drew McIntyre. He's a 00:37:55.690 --> 00:37:58.030 heel, right? So not a lot of bad guys on this 00:37:58.030 --> 00:38:00.050 side of the chamber match. So it's a little harder 00:38:00.050 --> 00:38:02.789 to figure this one out. Evans and Trick Williams. 00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:05.070 Well, I think they're awesome. They are rookies. 00:38:05.150 --> 00:38:07.170 I know that they're going to put on a hell of 00:38:07.170 --> 00:38:09.550 a show on Saturday, but sorry. While I do think 00:38:09.550 --> 00:38:12.510 your time is coming, I'm not going to tell you 00:38:12.510 --> 00:38:14.909 that your time is at the main event of WrestleMania 00:38:14.909 --> 00:38:18.250 two months. So you're both gone. Jey Uso. Yeah, 00:38:18.329 --> 00:38:20.050 I'm not falling for this. They're not repeating 00:38:20.050 --> 00:38:22.630 that mistake again. He has Zippo Chance. You're 00:38:22.630 --> 00:38:25.690 gone too. That leaves Randy, Cody, and La Knight. 00:38:26.989 --> 00:38:28.489 And the more I think about it, the more I have 00:38:28.489 --> 00:38:30.530 a very bad feeling about this. The problem is 00:38:30.530 --> 00:38:32.630 Drew has kind of been taking out everyone along 00:38:32.630 --> 00:38:34.630 the way. He's got beef with seems like all the 00:38:34.630 --> 00:38:38.190 good guys. I don't know. Who knows? My worry 00:38:38.190 --> 00:38:40.570 is they go safe and they just have Cody win. 00:38:40.710 --> 00:38:42.590 That would suck. I don't want to see Cody versus 00:38:42.590 --> 00:38:45.409 Drew. Straight up old, boring. We've seen it. 00:38:45.489 --> 00:38:47.530 Unless it somehow turns into a triple threat 00:38:47.530 --> 00:38:49.969 or a fatal four -way at Mania, Cody versus Drew 00:38:49.969 --> 00:38:53.030 would straight up suck. I don't want that whatsoever. 00:38:53.570 --> 00:38:56.880 So who do I do? Who do I want? fine with Randy 00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.699 or a lot night but if I had to pick who I want 00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:01.920 to see give me a lot night he's been a good soldier 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:04.320 I think it's time to give him his moment what 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.239 better way to crown him champ than LA Knight 00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:10.679 versus Drew McIntyre if he can somehow manage 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.800 to remove himself from all the vision nonsense 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:16.860 I think that would be a fun match a fun lead 00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:19.780 up to mania Who do I think? Yeah, I'm sorry. 00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:21.800 I think they're going to do it. I think it's 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.000 going to be Cody freaking Rhodes. They're going 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:25.860 to put him right back in the title picture, which 00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:28.679 nobody except the little kids wants to see. Is 00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.699 he the next John Cena for the next 10 years? 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:33.699 I don't know. I can't get on board with that. 00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:35.480 But I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure this 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.760 men's chamber match closes the show. I think 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.820 it's going to be a good match, but I don't see 00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:43.179 a winning Cody Rhodes as your go home happy moment. 00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:45.760 I think the hometown hero CM Punk is going to 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.349 be his match against. Finn Balor is going to 00:39:48.349 --> 00:39:50.030 be the last match of the night, and I hope it 00:39:50.030 --> 00:39:54.170 turns out to be the best. Anyway, that's my Elimination 00:39:54.170 --> 00:39:56.809 Chamber preview. I think it's going to be a good 00:39:56.809 --> 00:39:58.849 show. Last year, we saw the turn of John Cena, 00:39:58.989 --> 00:40:01.050 and the show was awesome. So I'm hoping we can 00:40:01.050 --> 00:40:04.190 get the same kind of magic from Chicago this 00:40:04.190 --> 00:40:06.750 Saturday. But I think that's going to wrap up 00:40:06.750 --> 00:40:09.110 this episode of the 3Ts.

I'm 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:23.820 trying to grow this thing one episode at a time. 00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:26.119 So please help your boy out.
