Are you ready, right, my son? Oh yeah, Jeff dealing goo
0:16
wheeler dealing good cleave of o'clock. I got one hundred and forty one and
0:22
two thirsties of winning. But brother, I am bad and ain't know I'm
0:26
bad. I'm a petty hour the never the power. You speak this out.
0:31
It's showtime, bok. Welcome to the grill out from the heart of
0:37
Silli in West Virginia. Here's your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty. Welcome,
0:42
ladies and gentlemen, back to the grill I'm speaking of back episode thirty
0:46
three. I am your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty, and I am
0:49
joined by the reflection of perfection. You're great, You're great if you're good.
0:56
Wait, what was it Jesus Christ? Jason like, come on,
1:00
no, you see that's why you saved me for last. Because Josh starts
1:04
talking, he ruins anything. Oh it's the master cole Nay, it's the
1:10
reflection of perfection. Okay, when you're good, you're good. But when
1:14
you're great, you're me love it greatness everybody. So you gotta set you
1:19
up for that. You see, here's the thing. You two are looking
1:22
there, staring at each other, wondering what I'm going to say next,
1:23
And I'll tell you what I'm going to say next is you all are not
1:26
on my level. Okay, now, audio wise, possibly because Jeff set
1:30
the levels and we should all be about even so on that level, yes,
1:34
but when it comes to everything else, you are subpar. The funny
1:38
thing is is I have to when I am doing the levels, I have
1:42
to put yours down slightly for mine, but I have to boost Josh's up.
1:45
Yes, because Josh has so little charisma that you have to boost him
1:49
up. Okay, listen, you're in the entertainment industry, kid, you
1:53
got to have that charisma. You got captain charisma. Josh Cole over here,
1:57
not bringing anything to the table except a little toy we belt that I
2:00
don't care about. But I better won those predictions, but I don't care
2:02
about it. And also our current grow out Predictions world champion. Yeah,
2:08
Josh Cole babeting hates you. Yeah, still he retired because of you.
2:15
There's no lack of a sting on here, Bill Goldberg. There's a Bill
2:20
Goldberg. Now I think I gave the sting to you, Josh. This
2:23
is on here, CM Punk Yes, yes, good good said anything happened
2:29
recently? So you all went to the AW show in Charleston. So okay,
2:35
good job hitting the microphone, Jeff, Yeah, I had I was
2:37
adjusting it. Yeah we heard it. Yeah, so okay, Yes,
2:43
Josh and I were at AW Dynamite this past Josh, that was a good
2:47
segue. I'm proud of you that you have learned how to do a segue
2:53
thirty three episodes in how many thirty three thirty three thirty three episodes? It
2:57
took you thirty two to figure out how did do a segue? George Bush
3:00
doesn't like segues because he fell off of one. But anyways, uh fell
3:08
off of one once. Are you the whole everybody's here, they're all here.
3:15
Yeah. But so Josh and I were at we were at AW Dynamite,
3:20
Randon and Ring of Honor. You know they had ring but it was
3:24
ring. Ring of Honor was a surprise. I think the reason they did
3:28
that because usually they do that with collision, but they had Battle of the
3:30
Belts with collision this past week, so they guess they put there true and
3:35
and and before like rampage and stuffy they would do dark, but they yeah,
3:38
yeah, dark and elevation is not a thing anymore. But so,
3:42
yes, Josh and I are in the arena, you know, at ae
3:46
W enjoying ourselves. Anything happened, oh boy. Well, in the first
3:50
time they were here, we got the first tag team champions. Second time
3:53
we got an interesting promo from Cmpunk which started everything, and they did also
4:00
that night because everybody remembers seeing Punk doing it, doing that Kenny Omega did.
4:05
This time we got we got something else, but we got their debut
4:09
of Marinashka. Yeah, she had a moment with marian Me. Levin's wrestling
4:15
is back. Yes, well, I mean, okay, but at least
4:17
this time you didn't have to worry about anything soon Punk related. Oh yeah,
4:20
totally. Yeah, he was on three shows this week. Yeah referenced
4:24
yep, he's you know, so just to set this up last week,
4:31
we don't okay, for one, we don't really. We try not to
4:33
dabble too much in this. And the only reason why it's getting brought up
4:36
on this on the show and right now is because Josh and I were in
4:40
attendance for this. We saw all of this go down. There are also
4:45
roots to this whole thing here. Yeah, yeah, like. And also,
4:48
I'm not gonna give my entire opinion on the whole brawl out all in
4:51
thing. If you want to hear that, go back to episode five because
4:55
that's where we talked about it. Oh give my opinion. Oh lord,
4:58
what is your opinion, Battie? It's all because of Chuck E. Cheese.
5:03
I thought they were an area fifty one. I mean that is what's
5:08
an area fifty one? It's a chucky cheese because the people need to eat.
5:12
Now. The real stuff that you don't want to the government doesn't want
5:15
you to see, is an area fifty two. But this whole thing,
5:17
the brawl out at all out, was all in because of Chuck E.
5:21
Cheese. I wish it was that. I wish it were that, Simmy.
5:27
I wish there. I wish the dog. Oh you were Larry,
5:30
yep, yep, I was in costume. Well you know what, according
5:34
to Canny, you were the only person he was worried about. That makes
5:39
me feel good. I was worried about you too, Kitty Kitty. That's
5:44
why I looked at him and I went bark bark. So so what happened?
5:50
So last week it didn't dominate the headlines with Wrestlemannia and everything, But
5:58
there was some jabbing back and forth. A lot of it came from one
6:02
side with WWE, starting with the the interview with cmpunk an area. I
6:06
don't I don't necessarily blame that. I mean, no going to happen.
6:11
That's that's what sparked it. I don't blame him there because he's getting asked
6:14
questions. It was all the stuff after that, and it was just because
6:18
I just didn't understand why the down punching was happening and all of that.
6:23
So that what not. This past weekend of Dynamite, the weekend before the
6:29
week before that, Adam Copeland's out there. He has this passionate promo talking
6:32
about we need to focus on the positives of wrestling and not the negatives.
6:38
Ring of Honor, Supercard of Honor. They have the press conference, Tony
6:41
Kahan is asked point blank about his comment. Does he have a comment on
6:45
Cmpunk's you know assessment? Also in the midst of this, Cody Rhodes gets
6:50
semi roped into it because he gets asked his assessment of aew He doesn't agree
6:55
with Punk. He gives his little take that's a little key piece that some
6:59
people will css over, but also smartest saying that during his time there.
7:03
Yeah, yeah, so we we don't we don't know, but he gets
7:10
Con gets asked point blank about seeing Punk's comments and Punk's comments Basically, he
7:17
just to summarize it all. He talked about what happened at the All In
7:23
pay per view in Wimbley didn't really say nothing. That's you know, no
7:27
story changed or anything there. Well, there's also still the NDAs with that.
7:30
Yeah, yeah, so I mean he has to be very mindful on
7:33
what he can and can't say. Yeah, and somebody probably he could not
7:38
see anything on him. Yeah. So Con gets asked that, he says,
7:43
no comment does I don't want to. I don't want to talk about
7:45
that. There's plenty of other things I want to I want to comment about.
7:47
I don't want to comment about that. Okay, you think it's done
7:50
there. Then collision last Saturday, after Night one of WrestleMania, it is
7:57
announced and it just kind of came out of nowhere on the broadcast. It's
8:00
like the like the Bucks were out there, they did their thing, and
8:01
then it came out. They're going to show some footage from All In from
8:05
the All In Show at Wembley Stadium. I'm under the impression me personally they
8:13
ain't going to show the actual footage I was at first I thought was like,
8:16
they're going to do it. Then I was like, well, maybe
8:16
they're going to show footage, but it's not that. Yeah, like they're
8:20
going they're going to show something with like FTR at Wimbley and all of this,
8:24
and just you know, because they didn't. They never specifically said seem
8:28
punk, which honestly, in hindsight you shouldn't have even touched it. But
8:30
if you were going to go there, that was the better route to go,
8:31
see. I thought they were going to go the route of pretty much
8:35
just making it like a BT skit, Yeah, where they have people dressed
8:37
up in pretending, which I thought also would have been a terrible idea.
8:43
Yeah, but still the better I did than what actually happened. So we
8:48
so aw happens by the way, Uh for the for the show? Yeah?
8:52
Great? We you know we did. We did great? Number one.
8:56
It's a good show. Did you all enjoy it? Yeah? Yep,
8:58
A lot of people. I've been getting a lot of pot the feedback
9:00
from Chris Statlander from her interview. Thank her. I just want to say,
9:03
take a moment real quick to thank her for taking time out of a
9:05
Sunday to come and talk to us. All of the aw people involved,
9:11
very professional, John and Danny, the ones that I was in correspondence with,
9:15
very professional, were very timely with getting back to me. You know,
9:18
they were aw was awesome working with us on this and the show itself.
9:22
To do it again, we would, We would for the show itself,
9:26
for Dynamite. It wasn't It wasn't horrible. I'll say this. I'll
9:33
say that it was not terrible. Being their live Adam Copeland and Penta.
9:37
The crowd was pretty pretty much on board with that. We got this as
9:41
awesome chant and all of that. There was also it started off with Dustin
9:46
Rhodes and Samoa Joe and you know, you know a Samoan named Joe Gwin
9:50
against the Rhodes. Yeah, you know where else did this happen? You
9:52
know exactly? This is a once in a lifetime kind of thing exactly.
9:58
So they got the crowd is pretty much there. It's not hot. It's
10:07
not well, I would say it's hot, but it's not hot as hot
10:09
as I've seen it before, but it's still there. I think the last
10:15
time they're here is it was a bit better crowd. There's a larger crowd
10:18
last time too. Yeah, yeah, you know this time they it was
10:20
it was all lower a level seating and why not. I was down on
10:24
I was actually down on the on the floor and then eventually moved myself to
10:28
the front place, swerving down there. I was, I was. I
10:31
was there for the first show that they did in Charlestone. The police was
10:33
packed. Oh yeah. The second one, I mean there was still a
10:37
good crowd. Yeah. And then just from the pictures you all sent to
10:41
me of this one, it wasn't It wasn't. Now. The strange thing
10:46
was when I got there, they hadn't opened the doors yet and the line
10:50
to get into the building wrapped around. Yeah, so it went around to
10:54
the other side, like where the wrestlers were coming to come in from the
10:56
back of the building. Yeah. We got in there. You know,
11:00
everything's fine. Like I said, the crowd is hot somewhat what they are,
11:03
but you know, it's it. There's been bigger crowds there. We
11:07
get to the CM punk footage segment, we go to commercial and that's when
11:15
I hear because I'm down on the floor. I hear off to my right,
11:18
and I won't say it what the person exactly said due to like FCC
11:22
stuff, But this person said more or less screw CM punk and I did
11:26
hear like a faint little chant off to the right. So I did not
11:31
hear it, but I saw a video that did have it, but it
11:33
was like more close to the stage than I was. Yeah, I think
11:37
I think there was one off to my left because I was facing like the
11:41
direction that the hardcam would be faced. Which also if you watch, if
11:46
you watch a rampage, you'll see my brother like somewhat in like in a
11:48
few frames, and he was like, I'm on TV, but yeah,
11:54
like yeah, I'm on the radio all the time. And that was also
11:58
another thing. I was there with my brother. I very much enjoyed spending
12:01
time with him because we like to go to wrestling shows. So we get
12:05
that they come out, they do the little thing on the tron, bucks
12:09
are up there talking, they start playing the actual footage. Yeah no audio
12:15
though, no audio, just the actual footage, and I'm my brother and
12:18
I are sitting there like, oh they're really doing Like I am fully I
12:22
was fully convinced up until that point that they were they were not going to
12:26
do it, fully convinced so much so that I've sort of gotten to an
12:28
argument with somebody over it. Which also that was another thing. Last week.
12:31
I experienced something that I never have as a wrestling fan. And I
12:35
will not go any further than that. What a differing of opinion. Well,
12:39
not just experienced, No not. It's not the difference, yeah,
12:43
yeah, not the differing of opinion. It was the way it went about
12:48
that was. That was what it was. I've never like Usually people will
12:52
message me and talk wrestling and it's whatever. Uh, They're usually respectful,
12:56
but this one started off very disrespectful, in my opinion, and it just
13:01
escalated from there until I eventually quit messaging this person. And it was over
13:05
this. It was over this footage they played, the footage Seampunk comes into
13:11
the Frame? Is that correct me if I'm wrong, Josh, is that
13:15
when the Seampunk chance started was when he came into the frame or was it
13:18
when him and Jack Perry got into the scuffle. I think it was when
13:22
he came into the frame, But also later in this show, when the
13:24
Young books were actually out there, in the ring that there was some seampunk
13:28
chances. Yeah, those ones did not seem as loud yeah, as they
13:31
were when the footage was being played. So the footage we got to see
13:37
him punk chant and then we get some booze and the footage is done.
13:43
FTR makes their way out there. There is a gentleman and we don't know
13:48
why this happened. They were kind of weird with our section anyway, Like
13:52
people who were in the front row, they were like telling them that they
13:54
got to sit down and stuff and they can't be standing up or leaning on
13:58
the barricade or all this stuff. They were just acting kind of weird with
14:00
our section. But there's a gentleman there in the roadbull in front of us
14:05
that had a sign that said Tony has counterfeit Bucks, referencing this referencing the
14:11
young Bucks. FDR's out. They're cutting their promo basically say what's on everybody's
14:16
mind at that point, and my brother nudges me, he goes they just
14:20
took that guy's sign like what and look looked over and like it said that
14:28
on the front and then on the back it said Dustin finish your story.
14:31
That was it. That was all that was there. I didn't want I
14:33
was going to walk up to the guy, but I didn't want to.
14:35
I didn't want to make the experience any more worse than it was, because
14:39
you could tell he was genuinely upset about that. Rightfully, So I don't
14:43
like it when WW does that. Don't like when AW. I don't like
14:46
when any promotion was well, I mean the amount of time that this guy
14:48
spent on his arts and crafts project. You know, it's not it's not
14:52
fair to take a sign just because it says Dustin, finish your story.
14:56
You know the problem is, I get it, that's Cody thing, but
15:00
it can be Dustin's too. Yeah, and there was also there was also
15:03
another sign there with from a little kid that said something very similar to that,
15:09
Dustin finished her story or dusn't tag me and so I can finish your
15:11
story or something like that. Okay, but come on, like a little
15:13
kids saying Dustin tagged me and that's like saying Dustin and your tool tag me
15:18
in and get you know what, bron Struman won the tag titles with the
15:22
kids. So at least it was that's true, that's true. At least
15:26
it wasn't Tyris. Tyres will never be interviewed with the show because they'll go
15:31
back and listen back man, you know, because we want to talk about
15:33
pro wrestling. That's true, that's true, But so I will. I
15:37
will say this after that he'd killed me? Yeah, yeah, out it
15:43
killed the crowd. Yeah. At at the commercial break, Justin Roberts,
15:48
I don't know if you remember this port Josh, Justin Roberts is like,
15:52
all right, Charleston, where's that energy gone? Or something to that effect,
15:56
And I'm like, Buddy, read the room. No, like,
15:58
no, nobody's happy about this. Yeah, I where was the lie?
16:07
Though? Yeah, that's true. It's basically almost exactly like seeing punkscrib just
16:11
based on what I've seen. Like I watched the aerial Hawaani interview, and
16:17
then as soon as I got done with that, I went and I watched
16:18
the CCTV footage again, where is the lie? Someone actually put a did
16:25
a little side by side video of him describing it. With the video playing,
16:27
He's like, yeah, I mean, somebody stop punk when he's lying.
16:32
Yeah. Aw did go around and actually take down those videos of people
16:37
resharing them for late whatever they were getting copy right shrike. Now there's also
16:40
apparently maybe a legal issue in that in U in the UK. Yeah,
16:45
because apparently in the UK there's a law like all parties have to agree to
16:51
be able to show that footage and probably probably did not agree. Charles Montgomery
16:56
Punk may not have agreed, Ye, exactly. We do not know if
17:00
Culture Magnet punk culture And I'll say this my opinion on it. Has it
17:07
changed? That didn't change my opinion. Is that gonna change anybody's opinion?
17:11
Yeah? Because okay, so this is I wrote down something the next morning
17:15
after the show because it was still somewhat fresh in my mind, and also
17:18
I had food poisoning, so I needed something to take my mind off the
17:21
queasiness. This is what I wrote down about it. It sucked. Should
17:26
have never went there. On the one hand, WWE's downpunching was petty in
17:30
and of itself, but those were on pre shows and other shows affiliated in
17:33
some way to WWE. Never on the main show. This was front and
17:37
center on your flagship program. We can debate the footage all day long and
17:41
even get blue in the face with one another, but the fact of the
17:45
matter is this downpunching is one thing, but somebody decided it was a good
17:48
idea to play actual CCTV footage of an altercation between two employees where it resulted
17:53
in the firing of one employee. It was awkward and uncomfortable. Not to
17:57
Mansion, it sucked the wind out of the craw a cee him punk chant
18:00
broke out. That killed the mood so much that Justin Roberts, when coming
18:03
back from break says something to the effect that wears the energy Charleston I wrote
18:08
down further there were good matches on the card, a couple of duds,
18:12
but nothing out of the ordinary. I did enjoy myself because I was able
18:15
to hang out with my brother and watch some wrestling. Can't take that from
18:18
us. Also met some other wrestling fans and honestly had the best moments of
18:22
my career this past week with the show and also being able to do it
18:27
along two dear friends made it even more special for me and Josh. The
18:33
crowd sort of came back, but nowhere near where it was at airing.
18:37
The video was a lot of things, and none of them are good.
18:41
I don't think this is going to put eight of you out of business,
18:44
but this one is definitely going to sting for a long time. Hopefully not
18:48
a sign of things to come a positive out of it. Jack Perry seems
18:51
to be on fire right now. Oh absolutely, Wendy CD riot this past
18:56
Friday for New Japan. It was it was in Chicago, but they still
19:00
had a mixed reaction, like you had some that were chanting cmpunk and you
19:03
had others that were chanting. You know, Jack did nothing wrong, like
19:07
it was. It was a split crowd in Chicago that threw me off.
19:12
Jack Perry might be the only one who's got a good thing coming out of
19:15
this. Something that just came to my mom and you said something about your
19:18
career. Uh, we did get referenced and fightful article. Yes we did
19:22
so, we got referenced in a few different articles. So you know,
19:26
good on us. We you know, we increased viewership, will listenership And
19:30
to those who are here, thank you, go like the Facebook page.
19:33
To those of you who only listened last week and you're not listening again,
19:38
please come back. Please yeah, please, I'm so lovely. Please to
19:44
leave me here with them. But and with all of that being said,
19:48
I just want to reiterate again, working with AEW was for us professional they
19:55
were, They were very timely with their responses to us. They hooked us
19:59
up with an in an interview on a Sunday, no less, Like,
20:03
you know, I don't know what Chris Statlander is doing on a Sunday,
20:06
but I'm sure she doesn't want to do well. Hanging out with Boots.
20:10
Yeah, hanging out with Boots. If you have not listened to that interview,
20:12
go back and listen to taking Boots to the park, yep, taking
20:15
Boots to the park with her Dellarenheart and or Jeff Gordon Jacket. Yeah,
20:19
so you know. And also yeah, but we it was not It was
20:26
not a horrible, horrible time. But I will say I've went to a
20:30
lot of wrestling shows and that footage being shown was one of the was made.
20:33
It made it awkward, Yeah, made it very awkward. Well,
20:37
let me ask you to this since you were both there. Me personally,
20:40
okay, I love pro wrestling, So like, I don't think AW is
20:42
terrible. I don't think TNA is terrible. I don't think WW is terrible.
20:48
I think Tyrus is terrible. I think we all can agree with that.
20:51
But when the Young Bucks were doing their promo, I thought that was
20:57
a terrible promo. I don't think the Young Bucks are great on the mic
21:03
at all. I don't think they can talk. I don't think they can
21:06
tell a story verbally. I mean, what do you all think? Like
21:08
you were there, Jeff, I know you've been watching the Young Bucks a
21:12
lot longer than I have. I think I think they can. They have
21:18
done. And you're gonna hear this from a lot of people. Oh,
21:21
there's some of their best work is in Japan. It actually is. And
21:25
same goes for Kenny. A lot of my favorite works of Kenny is in
21:29
Japan. But that's because they don't have the limitations that they well in.
21:32
The Japanese style is a lot different than the American style. Yeah, which,
21:36
which I've said on the show before, the I prefer it. It's
21:37
like again, watch Hull Cogan wrestle in New Japan versus Hal Cogan wrestling Andre
21:44
the Giant. Yes, but brother brother much love a change. I just
21:51
yeah, I don't even like the promo itself. I don't know. It's
21:56
sort of a haze in mitocracy in it too. Yeah. Yeah, we
22:00
should be spreading those rumors or lies or whatever, and you're doing it right
22:02
there, and I know that they're big fans of like Sean Michaels and DX
22:07
and stuff, and I, like I said, I wouldn't have went there
22:10
with it, But if you were going to go there, I wouldn't have
22:12
went and done this. Absolutely not. It just it's left a bad taste
22:18
in everybody's mouth. It's opened up old ones. I'm not trying to reiterate
22:19
what other people have already said this past week, but to me, it
22:23
just in two words, it sucked. I don't see how this helped anyone.
22:27
Yeah, it didn't. Apparently the Young Books didn't really want to do
22:32
it anyways, But Tony Kam was very adamant about it, and apparently FTR
22:37
was like, you know, okay, if it brings buzz, then we're
22:38
okay with it. Apparently they gave the thumbs up to it as well.
22:42
A lot of people were pointing out Tony Shavani's reaction to it. Apparently to
22:45
him he was like, I was just reacting what Heels were doing. I
22:48
didn't think people would take it that way. So there was also the Will
22:52
Oscar comment too, Yeah, and that one's kind of been overshadowed with this.
22:56
The Will Ostbury comment. He made a comment about what Triple H said.
23:00
It's the bad thing about that one was it was just an odd show
23:04
to do it on with the footage, but also the way he went about
23:07
it said, Okay, if you're a hardcore friend, you know what he's
23:10
talking about. If you're a casual fan, you have no idea what he's
23:12
talking about. No, no, And on top of that like it just
23:18
a w had the high ground in my opinion, when Edge came out with
23:23
that, with that promo and said to pause when you focus on positives,
23:27
you know, trying to be you know, trying to take the high round
23:30
with it. Tony Kahan had his chance to comment on it with the press
23:34
conference at Ring of Honor. He didn't take that. He didn't take that
23:37
chance right there. So in my opinion, you don't have you don't get
23:40
a chance after that. You had, you had that chance given to you,
23:42
you didn't take it, but instead you decided to take this terrible,
23:47
terrible route. Well, personally, I don't think Adam Copeland ever should have
23:49
said anything. Yeah, I think it should have just been you know,
23:52
seeing Punk said what he said and that's where it ends. Just don't focus
23:57
on it. The more time you spend on it, the more publicity you're
24:02
giving it. Yep, and you're you're not wrong there. So I'm tired
24:04
of it. Yeah, if you want to look like the bigger company,
24:07
don't address it. Yeah, don't. Whatever the other people say, ignore
24:12
it. They're trying to get a rise out of you, and it's succeeding.
24:17
All that that is doing is making AW look bad. Yep. Every
24:21
time they come back with something, every time they start something. How many
24:26
times have we heard someone come in from Wwe go to AW and the very
24:30
first thing they do is they get on the stick and start talking about how
24:33
bad it was of the other place. Yeah, it's it's it's old.
24:37
It was. I'll say this. It was exciting at the very beginning of
24:40
AW, like when Cody did the Throne and everything that was exciting. That
24:44
was because it was a new hot company. Now it's it's outlade and I'm
24:51
just I am I'm tired of that. I'm tired of the tribalism altogether.
24:55
I just you know, I'll tell you someone who's not tired of just one
25:00
place. He's not tired of tribalism or anything that's Tommy Dreamer, that is.
25:04
And we're gonna go hang, We're gonna give you a palate cleanser before
25:07
we go into take a break and come back with us some WrestleMania stuff real
25:11
quick. This came from Tommy Dreamer's Facebook page last night I found it.
25:15
He is trying to visit every sports arena in America. He wrote this on
25:18
his Facebook page last night. I finished a bucket list. I have been
25:22
to every NBA arena. Did Portland on Thursday, War Years on Friday.
25:26
I have done every MLB stadium. I have two NFL stadiums left, nine
25:32
NHL arenas left, but I'm doing Sharks tonight, Yesterday, Flames Sunday,
25:38
Oilers Monday, so I will have six left. End quote. So Tommy
25:44
Germany is trying to try to visit all sports arenas. Yeah, good job,
25:47
and I'm so and last little thing before we take the break. AW
25:52
did announce their pay per view schedule. They have eight remaining events this year.
25:56
April twenty first will be Dynasty Saint Louis. May twenty six will be
26:00
Double or Nothing in Las Vegas. June thirtieth, Forbidden Door in Long Island.
26:04
August twenty fifth All In in London. A week later. September first,
26:10
All Out will be in Chicago. October twelfth will be Wressel Dream in
26:12
Tacoma, Washington. November twenty third, Full Gear will be in Newark,
26:17
New Jersey, and then they'll round out the year at December twenty eighth,
26:19
World's End in Orlando, Florida. And just one more thing, just to
26:26
wrap up all the AW stuff, shout out to Rose Chestnut. She is
26:33
one of the winners of the ticket giveaway, and I just wanted to congratulate
26:37
her on winning the tickets to the AW show Brewse exactly, and I hope
26:41
she enjoyed herself. So that's going to do it for our thoughts on all
26:47
of this. We are putting a little neat little boat on it and not
26:49
touching it again. Up next we have WrestleMania forty reactions all that and also
26:56
predictions, So stay tuned. It's time for worth a grill out here.
27:08
It's Hollywood, Jeff Petty. Welcome back, ladies, gentlemen to the grill
27:12
Outs. I'm your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty. Don't you dare Bay
27:15
sour. We're getting there. That was Josh Cole Babe, our current Grill
27:22
Out Predictions World champion, and then also the reflection of perfection. Jason Likens
27:29
Yep, yep. And I'm glad Josh did you know you know, made
27:33
a reference to me in the New Day. I'm not glad you did it?
27:37
Why because it was terrible. Well, you see, it's a new
27:40
day, yes it is. No, I mean it's it's two fifty in
27:45
the afternoon. It is clearly not a new day. From when we were
27:48
previously doing this. It's been like a minute. Yep, we took a
27:52
minute long break. How was that a new day? What is wrong with
27:56
you? Depending on what other part of the world you're in, doesn't matter.
28:00
We're recording this the same day. It's not a new day. No,
28:04
it's not. According to Hawkota has been three days brother age. But
28:11
no. Speaking of the new day, Biggie did give a health update on
28:15
x Twitter whatever you want to call it. He was sick. Well,
28:19
he's he's had a he's had neck problems. Well, didn't anyone tell me
28:23
this? Hold up? Oh god, that's terrible. Yeah, rotated,
28:32
you know, complete accident. Why didn't they let that happen? Complete accident?
28:37
Yeah, I'm surprised you don't know that some of this stuff? No
28:41
God, so how was I supposed to do that? So Biggie Chance on
28:48
Twitter, he tweets, quote, hey'all two year next scans are in.
28:53
Things are unchanged. My c one has healed a viberously, yeah,
29:00
faberously, but has not formed new bone. I'm not medically cleared, and
29:03
truthfully, I may never be cleared, but I am blessed to be free
29:07
of pain, immensely happy and otherwise healthy. Life is good and quote so
29:11
much love. But I that's sad. I'm glad big he's okay, though,
29:21
if it's going to be really sad if he's never he never gets a
29:23
chance to come back to the ring. But put your house before Yeah,
29:30
I think there's still definitely things in the wrestling business that he could do.
29:33
I don't love for him to be a manager. Oh yeah, I mean
29:36
put him back with New Day, Yeah, you know, and just manage
29:38
them, do something, have them on commentary, give him something, have
29:44
him be like a backstage analysis. They had him on the pre shows.
29:48
I believe it was the WrestleMania. He did great there, No, yeah,
29:51
they had awesome that he's an entertaining guy. He almost killed a j
29:55
Lee. But oh yeah, she took that like a champ like that.
30:00
Yeah, you don't know what you do. I was gonna say, just
30:04
to clarify it in case you don't know what you're what we're talking about.
30:08
Fourteen, twenty thirteen. Yeah, something like that Monday night Raw Biggie's coming
30:12
out with Dolph Zigler and aj Lee and you know, he does the thing
30:17
where he's stretching his arms out getting ready for his match, and he just
30:19
just wails accidentally on aj Lee's chest and a j Lee's not very big,
30:23
no, and she just she took that straight on the chin. It wasn't
30:29
her chance. Well. She also mentioned later in a previous interview that she
30:33
was like, you know, because of WWE's standards, I had to wear
30:40
so much patting in my brawl that I didn't even feel it. Wow.
30:45
Yeah. But she kept sending him texts throughout like the week, talking about
30:49
how she is having trouble breathing. She had to go to the hospital and
30:53
get X rays. She they think that she might have broken her stern.
30:59
Oh my goodness. Oh okay, as he worked them. Yeah, but
31:03
so yeah, but that's an update with Big Ee and as to what Josh
31:07
said he was on the pre show for WrestleMania forty. Last week's WrestleMania,
31:11
I will say, in my humble opinion, was probably the best WrestleMania I've
31:15
watched in quite a long time, quite a while Handstone. For me,
31:19
that's the best best main event for WrestleMania that I've ever seen ever. Yeah,
31:27
yeah, the nine to two Cody Roman best main event I've ever seen,
31:33
five out of five. Yeah, like I don't. I mean,
31:34
if you're Dave, Yeah, no, if you're you're Dave Melterer, you're
31:37
gonna give it four point seven five out of five. If it was in
31:38
the Toyo d He's he twenty star, twenty stars, and listen, my
31:42
last name is petty, and I don't even appreciate that level of pettiness other
31:45
pettiness. But I do appreciate a little bit of petty at times, but
31:49
not that absolutely. I will say, in my opinion, probably best main
31:56
event at least in the past ten years, maybe maybe of all WrestleMania.
32:01
I haven't watched all of the WrestleManias. I don't you know. I can't
32:04
give you an ector uh description on that or whatever, but it was at
32:10
the night two up from from the opening to the main event. Great matches,
32:16
bam bam, bam bam bamman for that, just a still bit in
32:20
here. Since sound of the music, I really liked the epic orchestral arrangement
32:23
of Roman Ranges theme when he came out. Oh absolutely yeah. I will
32:27
say in regard to uh Daddy Dave's star rating, there was one match I
32:32
did pretty much agree with him on Jimmy and Ja Yes, yep, not
32:36
even one star. I mean yeah, that's about the only one. The
32:40
funny thing is people were saying their little interaction in the main event was better
32:45
than their whole name. It was yeah, absolutely their whole like, uh,
32:47
their match on what was it that was night one? Yeah yeah it
32:52
was uh it was something. Yeah it's there. Yeah it was good.
32:55
It was something. It wasn't good, but gunter Sammy's ay close second,
33:02
A very close second match for match match of the night, match of the
33:06
weekend. I just I didn't want it to be Sammy like I wanted it
33:09
to be Chad Gable. I did too. I still I'm still there,
33:14
but I don't know, maybe just taking the ride for that match just kind
33:17
of did it. You know, Well, we're talking about WrestleMania. I
33:20
just want to say, like, in regard to our predictions, I don't
33:23
care about the title, Like I don't care because I don't need the title
33:28
to be great. Okay. Like so I'm just saying, if I don't
33:32
win, I don't care. You don't care. I don't care. It's
33:36
not a big deal to me. Like you two walk around here and you
33:39
cry when you lose it, you cry when you get it, Like I
33:43
don't care. Yeah, I don't care. Like well I got my Cody
33:46
road chair. Yeah, like I don't. I don't care about it.
33:50
Like I see it right there, I don't care. Okay, see this
33:53
reflection that could be perfection. It looks terrible. Honestly, we probably should
33:59
take a picture of it. But on the Facebook page. Yeah, which
34:00
also Josh has been doing doing a great drive on the Facebook page. That's
34:04
good. Yeah, because I haven't touched it. It's okay, I don't.
34:07
I kind of put a couple of things on there and I walk away.
34:09
Now Josh has been he's been killing it on the Facebook page. Experience.
34:13
You got to really get that engagement. Yeah, you know, if
34:15
you if you want to talk to us personally, get on Facebook. You'll
34:21
talk to Josh. Yeah, you're not going to talk to me. Jason's
34:24
a little harder to get a hold of. Yeah, I mean, you
34:27
can also email us The Grill at ninety five at gmail dot com. You
34:29
can let us know what your thoughts are on the previous segment. Again,
34:32
not going to no, not gonna go there, but it gives us your
34:35
thoughts on it. So Wrestia, Yes, WrestleMania forty XLS Insurance was amazing.
34:42
The Rocks, Oh yeah, oh god, it was. It was
34:45
over the top, but in a good way. Yeah. Yeah, Night
34:50
one I would, I would honestly give Night one. Maybe I would maybe
34:53
four point seventy five five stars somewhere in there, four and a half.
34:57
Yeah, you know it just yeah, but definitely Night two five stars hands
35:02
down my only gripe. And it's not even that big of a grape.
35:05
And I think everybody's kind of got this kind of wish it was Stone Cold
35:08
but the Undertaker, as Josh pointed out, with the story and everything,
35:14
there's also an issue between him and Rock too. Yeah. Well, because
35:17
Rock tried to get to do the Taker Rony. But I mean, but
35:22
there's also been issues between Undertaker and the Rhodes family. I mean, Undertaker
35:27
came out and debuted at Survivor series. Who was the first person eliminated from
35:32
the opposite team that the Undertaker was on? Was it Dusty Roads, Dusty
35:37
Rhodes, Baby, the American Dream you got taken out by the Undertaker.
35:40
You find out this type of stuff on this podcast or radio show if you're
35:44
listening as on fourteen ninety am, or if you're an older wrestling fan like
35:47
I am, and yeah, watched wrestling a long time and you remember these
35:52
things. You don't remember math, but you remember wrestling knowledge. You know
35:55
that's that's true. Just in case that's true, that's true. You could
36:00
have also taken an issue with Brock being this whole Final Boss thing and whatever
36:05
and trying to throw his rock around, So somebody tried to somebody pointed out
36:09
about like the Undertaker, like they're like, I like the idea that the
36:14
Undertaker is like this vengeful spirit at WrestleMania. Now he just he just pops
36:19
up and evens the odds and then disappears. But the videos of him getting
36:22
in and out of the ring and all. That was kind of kind of
36:24
funny. One thing I love is you hear a lot of wrestling fans say
36:30
wrestling's too predictable, okay, and then it's oh, it's going to be
36:34
the Rock or it's going to be stone Cold and stone Cold and stone Cold
36:37
and that's the Undertaker, and it's like, that's not what we wanted.
36:40
Yeah, like I said, it was just a personal preference for me.
36:44
It doesn't it doesn't factor into the match at all. I think everybody wanted
36:47
stone Cold. Apparently it was supposed to be, but they yeah, money,
36:51
yeah, yeah, money aka he had to go help Poncho. Yeah.
36:55
I mean, I think the problem is is they're having mister Crabs doing
36:59
all the negotiating for w w E, and they're like, hey, mister
37:02
Crabs, we we need you to spend more money on stone Coins. Like,
37:06
no, well did you do it, mister Crabs money? Yeah,
37:14
but really, if you can't afford Poncho, you're not getting Austin. No,
37:19
no you're not, you're not. But that was really my only my
37:22
only gripe there. Uh, the tag team ladder match that split the belts.
37:29
Yeah, finally split the belts thought that was you know that. I
37:31
thought that was a very good match. What did you think about the cash
37:36
in? So I'm sitting there with with Ivy. She's never really sat down
37:42
and watched wrestling very much. Yes, she always stands up. But Damien
37:47
Priest comes out there to cash in and she's like, what what? What
37:52
just happened? I had to sit there and explain it. I explained to
37:54
her about about the money in the bank and all of this. And as
37:58
I'm explaining it, it's my brother. He's sitting there and he goes,
38:00
So you remember when Drew was leaning over the leaning over that and had had
38:05
that phone. We're like, yeah, he goes, he was tweeting board
38:08
at work l O yep, and then he had a tweet after the match.
38:14
We can't say that week, but it was it played into it.
38:16
But the cash in. I thought that was a great way to get the
38:19
cash in, you know, done and over with. I did enjoy Drew
38:23
McIntyre and Sets Rollins's match. Yeah, I was gonna say, I think
38:28
like the day after we did Predictions, I thought themselves we completely forgot about
38:31
the money in the bank. Everybody did. Yeah, everybody did so top
38:39
the bottom. I feel like WrestleMania was very good. It is a new
38:46
it is a whole new era of of ww It feels like it too.
38:51
Yeah. Yeah, it feels like everything that people were running out of w
38:55
W when Vince was there is coming to fruition on this one. And also
39:00
I like how they're changing the verbiage from sports entertainment. They're kind of stepping
39:05
away from that, going towards uh, pro wrestling pretty much. I don't
39:09
really mind that. Like, I have this weird thing on that even even
39:13
since I was when I was a kid and I found out pro wrestling was
39:15
not legitimate, always thought it was weird that it was called pro wrestling.
39:20
Hold on, hold on, We got to explain something to Jason. Since
39:24
when, since forever? Why why didn't anyone tell me this? I almost
39:30
stabbed the man because of it. How since when it's still real to you,
39:37
isn't it? It's still real to me? Dang get dang nab it?
39:40
Thirty three episodes, thirty three episodes. It took Josh to figure out
39:45
segueys thirty three episodes. It took for Chasing to figure out that wrestlings are
39:49
work what I didn't know. I'm surprised, but yeah, I will say
39:55
even since when I when I was a kid, I found out it was
39:59
not legitimate, I was like, why is it called professional wrestling if it's
40:01
the only sport that's not legitimate? But that's yeah, I mean, you
40:07
got you got a good point there. I just what am I down with
40:10
my life? I'm questioning it too, thirty six years. But there is
40:16
this weird a good feeling of kind of embracing that I guess. Yeah,
40:22
it's just what it came down to. And Cornet pointed this out with them
40:28
like pro wrestling being a dirty word for them, It's like that is your
40:30
main product, wrestling, Like pro professional wrestling is your main product, and
40:35
you you don't do professional wrestling, you do sports entertainment. I just I've
40:37
always thought it was kind of strange when I picked up on that. Well,
40:39
I mean, my thing is is like, okay, action movies,
40:43
drama movies. You know, you have your main thing there, which is
40:47
the movie, but then you have that genre of it. This is entertainment,
40:51
but the form of it, the medium is professional wrestling. Yeah,
40:57
you know, we all know it's scripted. Okay, we're all aware of
41:00
that, very aware, even though we just did a bit. But it's
41:05
entertaining. It's entertainment. Yes, you know, people watch soap operas.
41:09
They're terrible, but people find them entertaining. It's okay. Is wrestling male
41:15
driven soap operas? Sure? Why not? You know? Is there a
41:20
guy who comes back from the dead at every WrestleMania? Sure? Do we
41:24
think he's a legitimate dead guy? No, well, some people probably do,
41:30
our little kids. But wait, he's not Oh God, and we're
41:37
back. But he's called the dead Man. That's a name, but he's
41:43
oh God. That explains why he's aged. He's not actually dead. Like
41:47
I just thought Michelle McCool had like this really messed up thing like where she
41:53
likes dead people. No, no, no, he's really a bagged one
41:58
there. That was a horrible joke. But Christ Jericho, he probably said
42:08
one of the best descriptions, in my opinion, the professional wrestling. It's
42:13
got one foot in reality one foot in fiction. Yeah, I mean,
42:15
the whole thing is just the willing suspension of disbelief. Yes, it's like
42:20
see him punk. I don't think on his birth certificate it actually says I
42:24
think it says Phil Brooks. Yeah, Philip. No, it says chick
42:27
magnet punk. There it's his chick Magnet Brooks. You know hul Cogan brother,
42:34
brother, his name is not hul Cogan, you know that's not now.
42:38
Jim Hellwig changed his name later. And Steve Austin, Yeah, he
42:45
changed his last name from Williams to Austin. So but I think I think,
42:50
like in certain certain aspects, that was more for merchandising, pose and
42:53
copyrighting and all of that, because you know, that's what is it.
42:59
Hor believe that, Yeah, what you believe a lot of things that it
43:02
was questionable. So but we got predictions, yeah you see, but you
43:08
see, I don't care. So I'm just gonna sit here and drink my
43:12
DDP DDP. Yeah, say doctor Pepper, but he's drinking his DDP.
43:17
It was really cool hearing Cody Rhodes mentioned about being the only one of four
43:22
people hold the nw A title, n WWE title. Yep, there's other
43:25
three people Addie Rogers, Ric Flair and Age Styles. There we go.
43:30
So it's a phenomenal list. It is. It is woo. I went
43:37
through I tallied these twice and I don't care. I tallied them twice to
43:43
make sure that I what I was looking at was correct. So I will
43:49
go ahead and give my score. Okay, I know I took a lot
43:52
of wild predictions, you did, but it paid off. Oh I got
43:57
six points, okay, way out of out of how many, like,
44:00
out of eleven, out of eleven? Okay, so six out of eleven
44:04
okay, Josh, Yeah, six points? Okay, it doesn't matter.
44:12
I don't care. But just for the sake of you all saying it,
44:16
go ahead, how many points did I get? You really want to know?
44:20
Yeah? Actually, I mean I don't care, but you don't care.
44:22
I don't care. Let's hear the listeners may care. I don't care.
44:29
I don't care about a title. I haven't held it yet. I
44:31
don't need it. I don't need it. Speaking of finishing stories, Jason
44:37
one, give me that belt. Give me seven points. He made his
44:43
five plus. I know I did. I'd been sitting there listening and taling,
44:47
and I knew that this was mine. I am the rightful champion.
44:52
You all sit there, you pay attention to me. I knew this was
44:55
mine. I was shocked by the results. Honestly, I think we have
45:01
the coronation of the Great One. The entire episode is going to be talking
45:07
about how great I am. Okay, and then we're going to get canceled.
45:09
No, we're going to talk about greatness, what it means to be
45:14
great. That way, all of you listeners will finally know how great I
45:17
am and how you can be great too. Everybody your new Grill Out Predictions
45:24
World Champion Jason Ligens, Well, that's fun. Did did you us get
45:30
any of the tag match? Right? I don't remember. No, No,
45:34
none of us got stag matched? Right. I know you kind of
45:36
said our truth, but you went with Judgment Day. I did well.
45:38
I said it was going to be that our Truth was going to be up
45:40
there like about to get the titles, and then Judgment Day would we also
45:45
didn't know it was going to be a split thing. Yeah, yeah,
45:49
I guessed Sammy, y'all guessed Gunter. Yeah, that's that's kind of where
45:53
I started getting getting caught up with y'all. It was. It was really
45:55
neck and neck as I was going through it, and then uh, we
46:00
to the end, Josh. You and Josh were tired. I was one
46:05
point behind. But where you and I chose Rhodes. I think you chose
46:09
Rains, Josh chose Rain, Jason I chose Cody Rhodes. Jason went one
46:15
point ahead of Josh. I tied with Josh right there. Also the night
46:19
before, I think Jason I chose Bloodline. Yeah, Josh went with Cody
46:23
Rhodse and Seth Rollins. I will say I do think the the Paul Owens
46:31
Orton match ended almost exactly how I said it was going to. I think
46:37
we'd have to go back on Yeah, like I don't remember, but really,
46:42
because I chose Kevin, Josh chose Randy Orton, and you chose Logan,
46:47
That's really where the tiebreaker was was right there. So he's taking a
46:52
picture of the belt, even though he has said this entire episode that he
46:54
does not care about the belt. I don't care he does, he does.
46:59
No, what I care about is people knowing that I am the best
47:02
one in this room. Okay until next weekend, next weekend? No,
47:08
Yeah, we got predicted. Maybe maybe I don't put it on the line.
47:15
Maybe what I do is I see who is the rightful number one contender
47:21
for this title? You know, maybe that's what I do. Maybe this
47:24
bolt here is just happy to be on a perfect shoulder for a minute.
47:30
A great shoulder, great shoulders. Now you have me, Josh, I
47:37
don't even think he has shoulders. But what I have are the shoulders that
47:40
can hold up a podcast, the shoulders that that a title just see doesn't
47:47
even fill up the entire shoulder. Because I have great shoulders. Your shoulders
47:54
are good. Mine are great, oh boy. Because when you're good,
48:00
you're good. But when you're great, you're the champ. And we'll leave
48:07
it there. Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned up next on this day in

49:24
April fourteenth, nineteen thirty nine, Ed Stranger Strangler Lewis couldn't say that
49:30
Real Quick defeated ed Don George and Los Angeles, California to win the World
49:36
Heavyweight Championship. That's the original one. Yeah, that's nineteen thirty nine.
49:39
That's almost one hundred years ago. What almost one hundred years ago, it's
49:45
like eighty some years ago. April fourteenth, two thousand and four, during
49:50
a taping for ann WATNA pay per view in Nashville, Tennessee, Dan Low,
49:53
Brown and Apollo won the NBA World Tag Team Championship from Kit Cash in
49:58
Dallas. The talent the title changed hands on a disqualification, which was a
50:02
possibility under TNA rolls at the time. I never knew that. I don't
50:07
watch CNA, I don't watch NWAL that much. I didn't know that was
50:09
a thing, like the title could change hands. He usually has to be
50:14
stipulated that way. Yeah, like a lot of pretty much everybody else does
50:17
it that way. But I guess I don't know the NWA was. Yeah,
50:22
there's also at one point it depending on where you were at territory wise,
50:24
like it was a disqualification to throw somebody over the top rope. Yeah,
50:28
I mean that was but uh it was WCW way back in the day,
50:34
and yeah, apparently there was a commissioner that was not fond of wrestling
50:37
or something like that and he really would enforce that. So moving on April
50:45
fourteenth, two thousand and eight, Jason has eleven being the champion. On
50:50
an episode of Rawl held at the O two Arena in London, England,
50:54
Mickey James defeated Beth Phoenix to become a four time ww Women's champion. A
51:00
Neither one of them gets the appreciation that I think they deserve. Yeah they
51:05
don't. I mean that that you had the glamas on and then Mickey James.
51:10
Mickey James is very good. Her original character as a stalker, yeah
51:15
was it was okay, but she has I mean it was also a product
51:20
of its time. Yeah, it really was, because that was what two
51:22
thousand six, Yeah, because she had the match with Trish was it wrestling
51:28
twenty two? I think, yeah, I have the infamous I'm not going
51:31
to do it and I want to mention it, but yeah, she did
51:35
something in that match. That you won't see on the on people. Women's

52:46

52:49

will also honor former wrestler, promoter and Logan resident Steve Padunovac. He booked
53:52
American International Wrestling in nineteen eighty nine and World Professional Wrestling from nineteen ninety two
53:57
to two thousand and five. I took this little snippet from his obituary.
54:02
Steve began his wrestling career in the early seventies and was proudly known as the
54:07
Flying Pollock. He spent most of his wrestling career with ia w On woaiw
54:14
aiw Yeah you said, ia oh aiw On wo a y Saturday Night wrestling
54:21
with Shirley Love. He later became owner slash promoter of World Professional Wrestling until
54:27
his retirement from his wrestling career. Dave Allen, who is a sort of
54:30
a friend of the show, you know, we've mentioned before on this program,
54:35
he will be conducting the honoring of Steve Padunovac, and also, from
54:38
my understanding, he was very instrumental in getting a good portion of people into
54:45
the business, including Dave himself. So, Dave, I think he was
54:47
around sixteen when you know he got into the business. I'm actually going to
54:53
schedule an interview with Dave probably within the next few months and we'll dive more
54:58
into that. So that will be next Sunday in Logan, West Virginia,
55:02
So just make sure you go as you always puts on a good show.
55:07
