- 0:01Give me give me one second waiting to go live on making a
- 0:05live over here and press this over here.
- 0:08Hey, what episode of Sean Green show?
- 0:09My name is Sean Green Hope everybody over the breaks having
- 0:11a good Monday morning. Hope, everybody hope everybody's
- 0:14had a good weekend for real. I know.
- 0:17Hey, I'm wearing this what not because I recently lost the bet.
- 0:21That's why I'm wearing this Yu. I was playing open and we'll be
- 0:25the show 26 and my friend and my friend ended up beating me
- 0:29whatnot, and when the face was I had to wear a Yu.
- 0:33I'm a Mets fan. I'm a best fan right here.
- 0:35Go Mets. I don't care.
- 0:36How do you play right now Go Mets, but I'm wearing this one
- 0:39not because because basically I lost the bet.
- 0:42I think that's why I'm wearing this for real.
- 0:43But but anyway, right, anyway, right, TK everybody else,
- 0:48somebody who don't know TKO, which owns UFC and WWE, you want
- 0:53to make some changes basically to WPL E mainly WWE Royal
- 0:58Rumble. Basically what you want to do is
- 1:00the same way they did with summer summer slam and the same
- 1:03way they did basically with with with WrestleMania.
- 1:07They want to make the Royal Rumble A2 night event.
- 1:10Me personally, I disagree with that.
- 1:13So far it it just proposal. I don't think it's a good idea.
- 1:16Maybe it's a good idea. Leave it the way it is TK do
- 1:20this one not because they're trying to make that they're
- 1:22trying to make money. That's only reason why they're
- 1:24trying to do it. They're trying to make money for
- 1:26real. I mean guess the changes they
- 1:28want to make to WWE Royal Rumble make it a two night event.
- 1:32Leave it a one night event. It's been it's been fine being a
- 1:35one night event is everybody's been happy.
- 1:37Roy Rumble being a one night event.
- 1:39Nobody's been complaining about it.
- 1:41I say leave it as a one night event in my personal opinion,
- 1:45for real, don't make the WWE Rumble to a two night event.
- 1:48You want to do that because you want to do that.
- 1:50Basically the game might make money.
- 1:52Two you want to have one night. Basically the women's rumble
- 1:56next night, the unment Leave it a two night.
- 1:58Leave it a one night event. It's been fine being a one night
- 2:02event. We finally won that event.
- 2:03No one's been complaining. It's been fine.
- 2:06Good being a one night event. I see so far, so far this past
- 2:10year, we're on WEWWE making certain, making certain PL.
- 2:14ES to that event. They've been struggling to sell
- 2:17tickets. I mean, damn, struggling to sell
- 2:20tickets, struggling to sell tickets.
- 2:21For instance, look at on this past summer slam, summer slam.
- 2:25You see how many empty seats? You see how many empty seats
- 2:29there was? There was there was a lot of
- 2:31empty seats this past summer slam and two and two on
- 2:34WrestleMania. Oh my God, how many NBCS there
- 2:37was for wrestle for WrestleMania and they were struggling to sell
- 2:40tickets. Honestly man.
- 2:42Also the NBA 2 headed events it hasn't really been producing a
- 2:45lot of views. Case in point this past summer
- 2:47slam right? Night 2 have more, have more,
- 2:51have more have more people watching it then night one.
- 2:54Night one was crap. I think you know right now.
- 2:57Night one was was basically crap for real.
- 3:00Case in point, this how much this, this, this is how many
- 3:04views basically because basically they lost basically on
- 3:10I got to hear some basically how many people I mean, I'm trying
- 3:12to drop for Summer Slam. When I get a chairman, I get a
- 3:15chance. I'm going to I'm going to post
- 3:17it for real. In 2025, they had 108,600 and
- 3:2279779 combined combined for training events for summer Slam.
- 3:27That was last year. This year, 68,855, that's a huge
- 3:33drop. Why?
- 3:34Why, Why for the huge drop and that's and that's basically
- 3:37because of many reasons. One of the many reasons
- 3:39basically is because of ticket prices.
- 3:42How much ticket costs to go to these WWE events.
- 3:45It costs a lot of money to go to these events.
- 3:47Everybody does. It costs a lot of money and a
- 3:50lot of regular events. Everybody Tikio took over, they
- 3:54move away from that family family center pricing model that
- 3:57Vince McMahon had and people can't afford to go to some of
- 4:00these WWE events. They really can't.
- 4:02Let's be brilliant. They really can't.
- 4:04They really can't. And you seen it.
- 4:05You see that and the attendance drop, huge drop in attendance,
- 4:08man, for real. Honestly, I always say this, I
- 4:12will say this boldly, even though this McMahon, yes, he is
- 4:16an A hole, he's an asshole, excuse my language.
- 4:18He really is the a hole. But I will say this boldly, I
- 4:23will say this, he made sure he was able to afford to go to WWE
- 4:28pay-per-view events. They were affordable.
- 4:31They were affordable for real. Honestly, all of them were
- 4:33affordable. TKO, all they care about is
- 4:36making money. Oh, Speaking of TKO, basically,
- 4:39they basically lost money this year.
- 4:42Yes, the second quarter revenue came out right.
- 4:46WWEWWE made $620.9 million in the second quarter while UFC
- 4:54only made $535.7 million. Say that WE made more money than
- 5:00UFC which why UFC lost money as it's be real here.
- 5:04They lost some money off that UFC White House thing according
- 5:07to reports. They lost.
- 5:09They did. They lost in between 30 and 30
- 5:13to $50 million. They lost for that White House
- 5:16event and also the also that Conor McGregor fight.
- 5:20Oh my God, that fight, they lost money.
- 5:24They lost money on that fight for real.
- 5:26Honestly, they have been making that much money off the UFC
- 5:29fight. They really has it.
- 5:31They has it for real. Honestly, man, I mean, I don't
- 5:34like TKO. I don't like what they're doing,
- 5:36something to do. Also what they're doing to
- 5:37wrestlers with their contracts and everything.
- 5:39OK, sure point with their contracts.
- 5:42It just came out today basically right there.
- 5:43Bailey right Betty Betty White show is Instagram somewhere on
- 5:47Instagram TikTok somewhere we show Betty working out and she
- 5:51playing a song tied into an AEW wrestling song.
- 5:54There's been some reports that Bailey made sound with AEW when
- 5:59her contract expires at the end of this year.
- 6:02I mean, damn. Oh yeah, exactly.
- 6:05Zufia boxing is is bad for boxing.
- 6:07I do agree, Jacob, Jacob, Jacob as he yes, I do agree with you.
- 6:12But hey, it's poor sports. That belly may also go to AW and
- 6:16her contract ends at the end of this year.
- 6:19End of this year. You already got more city
- 6:21machine guns appeared on AW AAW already.
- 6:25I'm I'm I'm dying to I'm dying to watch AAW all in to find out
- 6:28which WWE wrestler is going to appear next.
- 6:32Remember all the wrestlers that got that got released that got
- 6:36released a while back a lot a lot of your 90 day kind of other
- 6:3990 day complete calls is up a lot of because it's up.
- 6:42I want to find out who's next going to appear.
- 6:44This going to appear on AAW. Now I'm dying to find out who's
- 6:48who's going to appear Man for real.
- 6:49Also Shamus what was going on there?
- 6:51Shamus may go to AEW. Remember Shamus doesn't have non
- 6:54complete clause which means when his contract is up in October he
- 6:58can go anywhere. You go anywhere and and and I
- 7:02can't believe y'all let him go because you try to restructure
- 7:05his damn contract and I'll make him take less money.
- 7:07So he said deuces which I don't blame him.
- 7:11I don't blame him for real. I really don't.
- 7:15Hey, hey, hey, all the wrestlers who left AEW who sorry, who left
- 7:18WWE with a EWA lot of them doing good to myself.
- 7:22Chapel over there doing good. Hey, I love the her syndicate
- 7:25the other day doing good man for real, man.
- 7:28Hey, TKO in my personal opinion, has ruined WWE.
- 7:32It really has. And just racially just racially,
- 7:36I know everybody noticed this. The senior vice president WWE is
- 7:39gone. Quote UN quote resigned,
- 7:43resigned, resigned from office, resigned from office.
- 7:46He was working closely with Triple H He's gone.
- 7:50Hey, I wonder, hey, I wonder where I wonder where behind the
- 7:54scenes was that right there for real, man.
- 7:57Hey, WBA also WBA have a lot of problems, man for real.
- 8:01Also also also bring yourself for real.
- 8:04Here are the lists of wrestlers basically right.
- 8:07This list arrested AEW basically who's kind of expired next year
- 8:10AEW you got John Monchley contract expired John 27 Katie
- 8:15Omega contract in 2027 Young Bucks contract expired 2027 will
- 8:20all spread contract expired in 2027.
- 8:23I do believe AEW is going to resign those those wrestlers
- 8:26those wrestlers I I have no confidence that AEW basically
- 8:31we'll resign those wrestlers through Aussie the wrestlers.
- 8:35I do believe we'll get resigned it new contracts Aussie, but WWE
- 8:41here's here's WWE for real. You got Roman range contract
- 8:46expires in April 2027. But thing is this how long will
- 8:50his they're going to be signed Roman Reigns and what are y'all
- 8:54next year? But here's the thing.
- 8:56How long will it, because Roman Reigns does want to retire.
- 8:58He do want to retire basically. And then think of how long that
- 9:01contract is going to be for and just say he did say he wants he
- 9:03wants to wrestle a couple more years for real.
- 9:06Also, CM Punk contract expires this year in November of 2026.
- 9:12It's obvious, it's obvious they're going to re sign him
- 9:14because they need CM Punk. They need him basically.
- 9:17He he sells lot of T-shirts. He brings, he brings butts to
- 9:20the seat. They they, they need that
- 9:22revenue. So they need that revenue.
- 9:24So he's so he's coming back for real and then and then on Seth
- 9:29Rollins contract expires in May of 2027.
- 9:33Seth Rollins I'll probably see him probably re signing for a
- 9:36couple more years. You need to keep Seth.
- 9:38He keeps Seth. He's a popular wrestler.
- 9:40You can't afford to lose him. You really carefully lose him.
- 9:42I do see him. Basically he signed it basically
- 9:44for a couple more years and then Cody rolls contract expires in
- 9:482028. That was 28 for so he has a long
- 9:52way to go through, but also WWE also has another problem
- 9:55honestly, for real, an AG problem for real honestly,
- 9:59honestly, you got a lot of wrestlers basically in in their
- 10:02late 30s, early 40s, man. I mean damn, I mean I mean damn,
- 10:07I mean that's I mean damn you guys, you guys start promoting
- 10:11these young wrestlers, man. WE is not promoting young
- 10:13wrestlers all that much for real, honestly, man, I mean,
- 10:17MAA, I'm not going to lie to you in my personal opinion, man,
- 10:20I've been watching a lot AEW. I've been joining a lot of AEW
- 10:22more than WWE in my personal opinion.
- 10:25I'm and also WWE been having problems with restless getting
- 10:29hurt. A lot of rats have been getting
- 10:30hurt also also for real, man, but I'm happy Kevin Owens back
- 10:35that should help. That should help with their that
- 10:37that should help with their ratings right now.
- 10:39Right now for real, that show with their ratings on on Monday
- 10:41night raw. Honestly, man, with with Kevin
- 10:44almost back. Hey, I love Kevin Owens.
- 10:46I like Kevin Owens. He's a good wrestler.
- 10:48One of my favorite wrestlers. I'm shocked he even came back
- 10:51and how they did. It was again, like I said in
- 10:54past podcasts, how they brought him back was just perfect.
- 10:58I got to admit it was just perfect.
- 11:00It was just it was just perfect. I brought him back for real,
- 11:04man, honestly, if if they're smart, if if they're smart,
- 11:07they'll have him and see a punk go at it in the next WWEPLE.
- 11:11Honestly, if they're smart, have both of them go at it in the
- 11:13next WWEPLE Real talk. I I think that's how they should
- 11:17do it, man, for real. But the money, never all money
- 11:19never all is tonight. It's going to be on Netflix.
- 11:22It's going to be on Netflix in case you want to watch it.
- 11:24Oh, I'll get you to watch it for real Whenever, whenever tonight.
- 11:27Smackdown, Smackdown's been boring.
- 11:29Honestly, Smackdown's been boring, man, for real.
- 11:32But I would say this though, I'm dying.
- 11:35I'm dying to watch AEW All In. OK.
- 11:39I want to find out if any more WWE wrestles that was recently
- 11:42released is going to join up. Which WWE wrestle is going to
- 11:47join up? Honesty man, I'm dying to find
- 11:49that out. AEW All in which is which, which
- 11:52is the end of this month I believe is August 30th, August
- 11:5530th. I am dying.
- 11:56I am dying to find out. I'm dying to find out for.
- 11:59I will say this though, if I'm AEW man, you need to start
- 12:03getting younger wrestlers and and and and put more younger
- 12:07wrestlers. Edge needs to retire.
- 12:09Jericho needs to retire. Real talk, they need to retire
- 12:13man and start start promoting like these young wrestlers in AE
- 12:17W. That's what they should do
- 12:18honestly man. But I would say this though, if
- 12:21they somehow and are able to land Sheamus, that would be a
- 12:24good thing. If, if, if they're able to land
- 12:26Bailey, Bailey, Bailey for next year.
- 12:29Oh my God, that would basically bolster women's division over
- 12:32there. AEW, if you're able to land
- 12:34Bailey, man, for real. Honestly, man, because because
- 12:37Billy is close to one of the wrestlers over there in AEW and
- 12:40I would love this. I would love to see Billy over
- 12:42there. Billy's one of my favorite
- 12:44female wrestlers. Is she able to go over there one
- 12:47of the AEW? Hey, I'll be happy, man.
- 12:49I've been through. Remember, man, her contract ends
- 12:51at the ends basically at the end of this year, her contract ends
- 12:56and there's been a lot, lot speculation.
- 12:58Also, there's been there's been some but some rums going around
- 13:03how Dominic Mysterio is not liking the way WWE has been has
- 13:07been using him for a wheeze on AAA.
- 13:10He did. They're using a real good.
- 13:11He's showing the Dominic champion everything just like
- 13:14that. But when he's shown in WWE, he
- 13:17likes he's showing us some like comic belief.
- 13:20He's not he's basically he's not getting the game.
- 13:22He's shown the same respect when the on WWE on the main shows,
- 13:26like he is like he is on AAA and the way it's true, I see it, I
- 13:31see it for real. He is he is, he is.
- 13:33He really is. In my personal opinion, he
- 13:35really is. He does He does have a gripe.
- 13:38He does have a gripe. But hey, I may be honest with
- 13:40you. I was with you.
- 13:42He ain't the one selling the selling the tickets over there
- 13:44over there on the main shows. He ain't the one selling tops on
- 13:47the T-shirts. He's not he's not for real.
- 13:50TKOTKOATKOAKAWWE are going to push hard.
- 13:57Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, all them and couldn't see him.
- 14:00Punk all them for real. In a way, I don't blame him.
- 14:02I don't blame him honestly, man, for real, because again, again,
- 14:06you got to make money. Like I said, like I said about
- 14:10like I said about when this dude I'm seeing Punk came back and
- 14:14came back and took the title. What not from this guy was
- 14:17complaining, man. I don't blame.
- 14:19Hey, it's it's hey, it's all about this man for real, man.
- 14:23All right, switching gears here to baseball.
- 14:24I think it's something that everybody should hear, but
- 14:27should hear right about baseball, man, I love baseball
- 14:30and you can see here it got my uniform and everything on
- 14:32baseball or baseball. But I know this is one thing
- 14:35people don't want to talk about a possible Major League Baseball
- 14:38strike. And the latest proposals from
- 14:41the Major League Baseball had me like, damn.
- 14:44Basically, according to reports, the latest baseball agreement
- 14:48proposal from the owners, basically, right.
- 14:51One of the puzzles is basically they want to end deferred
- 14:54contracts. They want to stop Major League
- 14:56Baseball players from getting deferred contracts, which that's
- 14:59something the players are against.
- 15:01The play a lot of the movie players, they love having that
- 15:03deferred contracts. That's something that they love
- 15:06Totally, period, totally, totally, period.
- 15:08Ever since Bobby Monia did it, who's still getting paid?
- 15:12Who's still getting paid? Basically because he deferred
- 15:14his contract, I think, I think his last paycheck should come
- 15:18either this year or next year. This year, this year show all
- 15:21the time he deferred half the half or majority of his
- 15:25contract. Basically that's something a lot
- 15:27of players love to do, but the owners want to stop that.
- 15:30They want to stop that deferred without the deferred that
- 15:33deferred thing, but not that's why they want to stop and the
- 15:37players are not having that too Max contract.
- 15:40They want, they want to end Max years at 5:00 at five years with
- 15:44something the Major League Baseball players don't want and
- 15:47the owner still, they want a hard salary cap.
- 15:51What do you want? A real talk hard, hard salary
- 15:53cap for real, man. I mean, I'm the mouth with you.
- 15:58Be prepared for a strike. Be prepared for work stoppage.
- 16:01Here's basically how it would go.
- 16:03Basically, let's say for instance, come December, no
- 16:05contract has reached it could be it could be a strike or work
- 16:09stoppage. Here's when you should get
- 16:11worried if if there's no agreement by February, I checked
- 16:17by February, usually on February pitches and catches usually
- 16:19reported then then you then you could say what not we could be
- 16:23missing games for real because I remember last time they had a
- 16:26strike they kept pushing pushing on opening day, push open the
- 16:30day, push open the day. That's what they kept doing.
- 16:32But this one, I do believe we probably won't see opening day
- 16:37probably because they want to make changes to baseball players
- 16:41contracts. They want to make changes
- 16:42basically whatnot to how players are getting paid.
- 16:46And a lot of players. And one main thing is they don't
- 16:48want a salary cap. And the players basically they
- 16:51and the order said we want to stop the deferred contract.
- 16:54That's something that some of the players want to keep because
- 16:57a lot of players like having that deferred contract for real.
- 17:00Honestly, they didn't want to keep that and the owners don't
- 17:02want a deferred contract. Basically, that's what they want
- 17:05to stop, man for a I'm all prepared enough for a strike
- 17:09happening. I I really am.
- 17:11I see, because baseball is the only sport at all sports period
- 17:15that don't have a salary cap, man A and you know that's about
- 17:18to cut a that's about to come to the end because both sides are
- 17:20not budget. They're not budging totally
- 17:23period, point blank period, man, for real.
- 17:25Like I keep telling everybody, enjoy this baseball season.
- 17:28Enjoy it, man, for real, because we might not have one next year.
- 17:32I'm being serious, might not have one next year because both
- 17:35sides are adamant a very adamant in a way.
- 17:38I don't blame the players. You want you want to keep the
- 17:41deferred contract because it's it's let's be real here.
- 17:43That retirement program ain't you.
- 17:45My face ain't shit. That retire program ain't shit
- 17:48you. A lot of players like deferring
- 17:50their contract basically basically that way whenever they
- 17:52retire, they're still getting money in to get money in had
- 17:55that constant revenue stream, whatnot.
- 17:57Add on to that piece of crap retirement plan when they they
- 18:00got went out from from the union from the league, which ain't
- 18:03really crap. Let's be brilliant.
- 18:05It's not crap because I I work in a hospital.
- 18:08I can't say any names. I took care of baseball players
- 18:10that retired. I'm looking like, wait a minute,
- 18:12isn't this is this is this is this?
- 18:14I'm looking like, damn that it's it's not crap for real.
- 18:18I see. So basically what Bobby Bonea
- 18:20Kangaroo junior, all them did, all these players copying off
- 18:23off of which I don't blame them. I don't blame them.
- 18:26Always want to get rid of that honestly, But hey, this gauge,
- 18:31it's going to be a solid cap. The oldest one, salary cap and
- 18:35both played both both sides are now budging period point bank
- 18:40period. Man for real, man, like I said,
- 18:44man, enjoy this baseball season. Real talk, enjoy, enjoy this
- 18:49baseball season, man, for real, because I'm worried I'm worried
- 18:53for next year. I've been through I I've been
- 18:55watching baseball since I was a kid.
- 18:57I've been through all the strikes and everything and just
- 19:00really would hurt baseball. It really would hurt baseball
- 19:03and again, it will piss you off. This is over money.
- 19:07The sport has grown dramatically.
- 19:09It's grown a lot and so many changes that they made.
- 19:11At first I was against. I'm happy for people are joining
- 19:14it and everything. I like it, but man, the what
- 19:18what what's going, but what's about to happen?
- 19:20It sucks everybody does that is something that nobody wants to
- 19:23hear nobody but hey, but hey, man, for real, there's hey,
- 19:28there's going to be an AH be be be prepared for a possible
- 19:30strike for real. Hey, there is some baseball
- 19:33game. Hey, there is some baseball
- 19:34games. Today you got Philly versus
- 19:36Saint Louis Cardinals. That's going to be a Fox Sports
- 19:381. Everything else you can watch on
- 19:39your local channels on MOBTV. If you do get MOBTV, the men
- 19:44face the brace today at 7:15 7/15 Yankees got the night off.
- 19:50Yankees got the night off Dodge digging that off Dodgers.
- 19:52Dodgers got a series starting today against the Royals.
- 19:56That should be easy to get the Dodge Dodge.
- 19:58That's easy right there man. Dodgers should be able to blow
- 20:00that team out man. The Royals thing that should be
- 20:03easy for the Dodgers also also update update on Joel Otani.
- 20:08He's basically starting to throw and catch basically he's
- 20:11rehabbing slowly. But if I'm.
- 20:13The Los Angeles Dodgers don't bring him back till playoffs
- 20:18because you're going to show all the time he's pitching during
- 20:20the playoffs, even though he's been damn good this year.
- 20:22Damn good. But don't bring him back to the
- 20:25playoffs. In my personal opinion, man, for
- 20:26real. Honestly, save him for the
- 20:28playoffs. Have him have him on.
- 20:30Do the slow, slow, maintain a slow nice workout.
- 20:33So say workout for real. That way you got him backed by
- 20:35playoffs because you because you're going to need it for the
- 20:37playoffs. We'll talk especially against
- 20:38Milwaukee and the Braves, two of the two of the top teams right
- 20:41now in the National League. Honestly, two teams who I do
- 20:45feel can't beat the Dodgers, Milwaukee and the Braves,
- 20:48especially the Braves, man. For real.
- 20:50Honestly, it's even though the Braves, man, I mean, Jesus, man,
