• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Go go hey man, go all right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Oh it's me, it's me. It's a g oyl. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I fucking borrow a phrase from Lance Storm for a minute,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and if I could be serious for just a minute.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I've been kind of under the weather, so I hope
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: my voice holds up here. All since the weekend, I've
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: been all I'm not quite right. So I went to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the doctor. Right. He does all kinds of tests and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he says, well, I think I know what's wrong with you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I've got this rare condition. Well, it's rare for most people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: For me, it's not so rare. I've had it twelve
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: times now, lucky me. But he said, yeah, we've done
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: all the tests and you've come back positive and you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: definitely have Super Bowl fever. Oh god. The only prescription,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the only prescription is more rings.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: My god.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Since we're gonna talk go there on the football subject,
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: then why don't you elaborate further and share your thoughts
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: on Bill Belichick not being a first ballot Hall of Famer.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely absurd. But I fucking think Bill
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Pollian so fucking much that if, if this is what
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: has to happen for him to be just completely excommunicated
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: from the game, so be it. I'm willing to make
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that sacrifice. He'll be in next year. And fuck Bill Poleon,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: what a piece of fucking ship.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: You know what. No disagreement from me there.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, obviously I'm no Bill Belichick fan as an
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: Eagles fan, but.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Have you not?
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: How Look do you not put Bill Belichick in automatically
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: first ballot like arguably one of the not even arguably
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: one of the greatest coaches of all time, if not the.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Most Super Bowls. I think third mess wins the.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Time, most most appearances.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: His game plan from one of those Giants, one of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: those giant Super Bowls. The game plan is in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Like the guy. If the game plan
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is in, probably the guy that wrote it probably ought
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to also be in.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: Just the thought, ye, it's it's absolutely ridiculous that that
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: should happen.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It's just.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: And then you got me who doesn't watch football.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You're just like, I have no idea what they're talking about.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Guys might well be speaking Spanish, you know, I could
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: pick up like every other word.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: Well, even if you don't watch football, it's a very
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: easy concept to understand. Everybody knows what a Hall of
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Fame is, and if you are one of the best
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: people to ever do what you have done in your profession,
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: it should be a no brainer that when it's when
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: you're up to be in the Hall of Fame for
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: that profession, you should probably get in. And yet Bill
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Belichick is not going in on the first ballot. Like imagine,
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: imagine Michael Jordan not getting in the NBA. In the
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: basketball Hall of Fame the first one he comes up.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: Put it in wrestling terms, Okay, yeah, the way it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: not a it's not a voting process for the Hall
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: of Fame.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: They just picked motherfuckers, and there's no real timetable of eligibility.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: But like, whatever whatever sport outside.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Of wrestling that you watch, go ahead, there's there's somebody
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: who's considered one of the greatest of all time. If
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: it's NASCAR, you're thinking of like Dale Earnhardt or Richard Petty.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: If it's football, we're talking you know, Brady Montana, Deon Sanders,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: Jay Rice, Basketball, Jordan Lebron. Like, imagine Lebron coming up
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: for the basketball Hall of Fame and they're.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Like, no, my lung, I hate, hate, hate Lebron James.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He belongs to the Hall of Fame on the first ball.
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: Shouldn't right, It shouldn't even be a thought Lebron James
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: And yep. And imagine if okay, suppose, if you want
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: to put it in wrestling terms, suppose there was a
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: voting process.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, like say they had just you know, a committee of.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: You know, ten people in w W you know, pick
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: ten past wrestlers or whatever, and John Cena is now retired.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Let's fast forward three years.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: Say that's the eligibility, and now those ten people are
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: in the room and it's like, hey, John Cena is
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: up for the WWE Hall of Fame. You would think
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: he should be an automatic, right. Imagine those ten people saying.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And nah, we're good, no, no, nah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Let's hold off.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Valven Is is still waiting, right, like, like that's much. That'll
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: be like the wrestling equivalent of what happened to build
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: I like that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: I like the how you can put in a wrestling
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: equivalent to me. That's how you guys are gonna have
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: to you know, dumb down football at me, put in
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: wrestling terms. Yeah, somehow, some way, guys, I got some news.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Let's let's break right into some news here. Prices finally
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: have been revealed for w W two K twenty six.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: There are four different tiers this year. There is the
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: standard edition, which is the seventy dollars one with so
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: far looks like CM punk is on the cover. Then
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: there is the one tier with the Attitude era addition,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: it has Cane, Undertaker and Stump hold On. And then
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: there is the the King of King's Edition with Triple
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: H going for one hundred and thirty dollars and I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: not done yet. The Monday Night War edition has Stone Cold,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Steve auston the rock, uh, the Undertaker, Triple Ah curd Angle,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: and China on the front cover going for one hundred
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: and fifty dollars. That's insane. I uh, you know, if
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: I end up getting the new one, I even know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: I'm you know, balls deep in twenty two K twenty five,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: I'm only gonna get the seventy dollars one, and I'm
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: gonna do what I'm doing now. I'm slowly unlocking characters
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: on my own. And I caved once and bought a
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: DLC back and that was the uh the Johnston of
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: my Time is now tour, but it was mostly just
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: to get brought pleasanter. Yeah, I mean these prices are insane,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: absolutely insane. When are we going to get to the
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: point where what are we going to get to the
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: point Like it's just the game's out and every year
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: we just get like new DLCs, you know, never never, never, dude,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: it's never going to happen.
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Never going to happen. No, it's not the business model.
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: Two K games they do it for literally everything NBA
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: two K different version every year. I know, people on
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: that stuff because they know people are going to buy it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Every year.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: They come out with a new version of the same
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: game with just an updated year and roster change. It's
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: not going to go to a a you know, players
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: service game like others. It's never is because people have imonstrated,
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: you know, the buyer is voted with their wallet and
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: said that we're going to buy the new version of
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: the same game every year.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yep, it's the mad Yeah, pretty much what it is.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna check my you know, my Xbox next time
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: I'm on and look at the history of the games
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: that I own. I want to look at write down
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: all the two K games that I used to own,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: see if there's a pattern, because I know I wasn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: buying them every year because there was a huge gap.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Because it's either the game was just so bad it
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't worth spending money on, or because I know there
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: was a transition before they went to two K, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I remember that first year they went the two K,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: it wasn't really good. But yeah, those are the prices
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: on the two K game, So good luck with that.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Speaking of speaking of prices and jump jump, I had
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: just a tad to the rumble. What do you think
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the highest ticket and lowest ticket prices are for this
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: rumble in Saudi Arabia are Oh my god, so we're
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: just an American dollars, American dollars, yea American dollars.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing the highest ticket is probably fifteen k. I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: thinking the lowest ticket is like five hundred.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, like even remotely close.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: I was going to say like eight k for like
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: the most expensive, and maybe like six hundred for the cheapest.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You are also not remotely close. It is totally different
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: because remember this is a government sponsored show.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The low ticket, yeah, okay, the low ticket, yeah yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is twenty twenty three dollars? What the highest the highest
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: price ticket is four hundred dollars?
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: What are you telling me?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: We could have fucking went.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you would have spent a whole lot of money
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: on a second, think of all the money it spent
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not buying beer though a show.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: I'll just say this, if tickets of this price obviously
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: with it being government sponsored, because yeah, essentially Saudi Arabia
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: is already prepaid for this show.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right next year? Yeah, I know.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Speaking of WrestleMania forty three in Saudi Arabia and ticket prices,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: The Rock expected to receive a record breaking offer for
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: WrestleMania forty three. Uh, the news dropped the other day.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: But the numbers, you know, we don't know what the
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: numbers are going to be. I am aboutely intrigued by
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: this because I want to know how much money they're
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: gonna throw at The Rock to wrestle because if you
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: guys don't recall, let me see here, if I do
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: a quick google, Dwayne the Rock Johnson is fifty three
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: years old, so you know we were talking about him
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: going in the ring at fifty four next year. Still, go,
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: is it possible? Maybe can you get your money back
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: on a fifty four year old wrestler if you're gonna
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: drop like sixty mill or not sixty mil?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Late.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know where they think they offer like five mil,
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: six mil.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know where they offer.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Sean Michaels to come out of retirement.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure they I'm pretty sure he got a.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Couple of million.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so somebody somebody liked The Rock to do that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: I would say whatever he commands.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Actor.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: They offered Sean to come out of his eight year retirement, So.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Shawn Michael's three million, the Rock will blow past that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: Like I said, I would say, whatever the Rock gets
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: from movies, that would be the minimum to get him
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: to even consider.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: He's already he's making money whether he is there or not. Though.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if he's on the board of directors,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: he's already getting a fat pay check regardless if he
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: puts a little stato on or not.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: He probably hasmana over there, you know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean he honestly, you know, I mean, I don't
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: know what kind of situation Seawan. I'm pretty sure Sean
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was a rich kid growing up though, so I don't know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But I feel like the Rock is like one of
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the upper echelon of earners. They can be like, no,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything for ten million, you know what
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like right like it might they might have
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to be an astronomical bag, you know, to persuade him
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to do something he doesn't want to do. If he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to do it. Yeah, that's where it's like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Coco b ware, like we'll give you fifty grand I'm
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there you know how I'm on the next plane.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's why I said the baseide will probably be
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: whatever he gets, whatever he commands per film, Like I
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: don't know if the Rock is like twenty mili for
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: each for every movie he does or whatever. Yeah, I
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: would imagine for him to perform at Wrestle Media, you're
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: probably gonna have to pay something in that ballpark.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Not more.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: The street profits are being advertised on NXT Live events
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: n X Street Profits Man down to.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: NXC Emotion, Emotion City.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: It's just break them up at this point. Man, It's like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's fucked up to say this Montest
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Forward is drowning, Like let this man go, singles run,
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry if you can't save them both, save one, you.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Know, I mean, did they miss did they've missed about
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: That's well, that's one way of looking at it. Is
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: as the motion. It also could be and this could
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: be perceived as being overly optimistic. But if they were,
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: if what some people have speculated is true is that
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: they were giving them, you know, having them off TV
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: just to reset or whatever or to you know, have
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: them come back quote unquote fresh, whatever the hell that's
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: supposed to mean, then them working NXC live shows just
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: could be them getting that rust off since they haven't
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: worked in a few months. You know, the house shows
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: aren't really a thing anymore. So the only way they
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: can kind of get those reps in in front of
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: a live crowd would probably be something like this in
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: the n XT Live show because obviously the main rosters
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: overseas working the Rumble and you know, if safe for example,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: those street profits are slated to return after the Rumble
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: and lead up to something in the Tag team division
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: as a ramp up to WrestleMania. Not saying that they
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: be on the WrestleMania car. You know, it could be
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: the go home smack Down before Wrestling, but whatever WrestleMania
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: season program they could be involved in. If they're ramping
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: up the tag division, yeah, then the only way to
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: get them some reps in before they come back on
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: TV would be essentially be like an NXT Live show, right, And.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: It's not like the tag divisions. The Tag Division isn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: fucking on fire either, you know.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm saying, like.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The number one contenders, Yeah, yeah, and.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying, Like if they're gonna if the
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: tag division is gonna ramp back up, because it seems
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: like these things are cyclical basically. You know, there was
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: a point last year where the tag where we were
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: talking about the tag team division on SmackDown and how
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: it was on fire and it was cooking and then
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: it died off and maybe there's you know, gonna pick
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: back up and you know it's it's turned to shine.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: You know, maybe as the women's tag division may start
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: to fall by the wayside, or maybe the raw tag
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: team is.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Cool will cool off or ramp up or whatever.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Can't focus, they can't do all three of them at
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the same time.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Right, Like said, Creative clearly has shown that they can't
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: focus on everything at the same time. So they clearly
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: they're they're they're phasing this stuff in. It's not like
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: it's just gradually moving around, like all right now we're
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: focusing it on this, We're focus on this this.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: You know, Street Profits are four time tag team champions.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: I mean they're gonna they're gonna do nothing but good
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: for NXT. You know, they're bringing something to the table.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: It's not there are some tag teams in the past
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: who've been put down back at NXT, and they didn't
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: help NXT at all, you know.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: I well, I don't think they're working NXT. That's not
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: what I'm talking about. I'm still talking about being main
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: roster SmackDown right.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Right, I mean, but it looks like they might be.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, if they're being advertised for live events, he
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: might be down there for a while at least. My
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: My assumption is nuttil WrestleMania's season's.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: Over, because I think they're just doing that just to
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: get reps in, right, Okay, Like I said, they don't.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: House shows aren't a thing anymore, So how else are
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: they to get you know, their ring timing and that
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: stuff off?
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: The only real way to do it is you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: NXT live event show.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, uh moving on here, let's keep the ball rolling.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Uh TA Massive Champa showed up on a e W
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: after his retire from uh w W. I guess when
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: now when people say they are retiring from WW just
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: means hey, I'm just going to show up in another company.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I was might be the more operative word than retired.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was reading up on his On his interview,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: he made a comment about why he went to AW,
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: and really he wanted to use this character, the Psycho Killer.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: The creative really wasn't given him the the room to
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: breathe to use it. And you know, his contract was
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: just up, and he spoke to to Kahn, you know,
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Tony Kahn, and I guess they had open arms and
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: they're willing to work with this character for him, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: and why not?
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: So I think he'd be be good. He said if
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: he was around during the Attitude era, he would have
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: been on the ec W roster. He was saying, if
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: he would have been around during the Monday Night Wars,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: So I gotta see that. I could see Champion being there.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: So see how well it does with him going to AW.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: We did talk about last episode about Powerhouse Hobbs coming
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: over to WWEH but I think he was released earlier.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Damn it. I had it written down somewhere. He hasn't.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: He's gone by a new name, a new ring name.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: But it's not gonna be Powerhouse Hobbs. It's gonna be something.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Oh God, I don't recall it now. I feel stupid
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: bringing it up and not having it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't know for sure. They trademarked every now
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and then they'll trademark a bunch of shit and people
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: will speculate, oh, maybe this is that person. So the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: speculation I think is that he will be fun Roy.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Which supposedly is something related to his son.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean sometimes stuff, Sometimes stuff gets trademarked and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: it becomes something totally different or nothing at all.
• 25:24
  Speaker 10: His seg Doyle because guess who just uh got a
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: name trademarked that would be goother trademarking the.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Name career killer.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Hm hmm.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Makes me even more nervous for this pl then wonderful?
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Uh what else I got here? Before I give you
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: guys into the bracket, I want to talk about the
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Fantasy Sea lead bracket here. The Fantasy match I have
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: mentioned in the past on a former episode a long
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: time ago, and maybe I've been talking about it a
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: couple of times, but the one Fantasy match I've always
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: wanted to see, and and it was fucking burned on
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: a raw and not even that it wasn't even finished.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: I want to. I want to. I got to see
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: aj styles vus Ampunk, you know, and for me as
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: a fan for both of both those guys, it's something
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: I've wanted for a very long time, and I got
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: it on fucking rall out of nowhere for the World
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Heavyweight title, and of course we all know how it ended.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: There's an interference, and it upset me. I was on
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: this wonderful roller coaster and then interference, you know, my
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Finn Balor. So I was so close. But if that's
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: all I get, you know, I'm happy if that's all
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: I fucking get. As much as I would love a
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: feud or a clean finish, if that's all I fucking get,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: I can die happy, man. Because I had I was
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: gonna put it on this list and I was like,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: you know what, I can cross that off. So I
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: thought that was kind of funny. I bring that up.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: That was on Raw recently, so if he.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Didn't catch I was.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: My only comment on that is I'm disappointed that they
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: decided to go back to a he'll Finn Balor.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, after I was kind of looking forward to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: him at least kind of you know, towing the line
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: for a little while between heel or babyface.
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: And seeing that that was gonna become part of some
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: Judgment Day storyline. But they just throw him back in
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: the heill and it's like, damn all this good. It
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: seems like all the goodwill and interest that was built
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: up in what he did overseas with See Him Punk,
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: they just threw it away.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, you're right too. I absolutely agree.
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's back in as a heel. Then, you know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: ain't nothing gonna gonna happen. M He may work a
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: championship program with Punk, which he ain't gonna win. He
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: ain't going into WrestleMania challenging for nothing. So it's like, Okay,
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: he's back a heel again.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Whooped you do?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He can't even get in.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: The rumble, right, Oh yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: We'll talk about that when we're sitting here guessing how
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: to fill the goddamn rumble. But apparently it's full. Oh man,
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: that actually, I thought that was kind of clever because
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: they never really have brought that up before. Like everybody's
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: always claiming to want to be in the rumble, but
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: nobody's ever no general manager or thority figure has ever gone, oh,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: we're actually full. I just feel like we're at some
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: point in time right now where we just have so
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: many wrestlers on Raw SmackDown x T wrestlers coming from
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: TNA that I feel like it's just so hard to
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: now defind the right people to even get into the
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: rumble because there's just so many people.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: And yet will still get a spot. Yeah. In fact,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: he'll probably get demolished by Finn on the way to
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the ring again and Fenn will take a spot.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I feel pretty feel pretty confident Finn is gonna steal
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: someone's spot somehow.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. Uh yeah, that's going to this.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Uh man, I've been waiting. I've been sitting on this
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: one for a while. This fantasy match, Okay, all right,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: this is one that I think we've all heard, all
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: heard when it comes to wrestling fantasy matches, and that
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: is why we never got Undertaker versus Sting.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Right retard.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Yes, it gets brought up so many times, have missed opportunities,
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I missed fantasy matches, Like what if you know, Sting
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: would have become over, you know, after the Monday Night
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Wars and we would have gotten Sting and Undertaker, you
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: know what, whatever version you feel like, Undertaker was peak,
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: you know, and when Sting was peak you know. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: feel like in w cw Right his last few years
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: there and Taker, uh I don't know. I really think
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Taker would have been Taker's always had a roller coaster
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: of a ride of when he was peaking when he wasn't. Uh,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: I don't. I kind of liked him after he came
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: back after for the American Badass. When he came back
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: as the dead Man. I think his first opponent was
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: like Orton or something or no King.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Russell any twenty when he came back.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Only well, I mean it's been discussed timing again, Like
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: for one, by the time Sting did come to WWE,
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: he was well past his prime, so was the Undertaker.
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: So any match that would have happened then would have
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: been would not have been good. It would not have
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: probably would not have delivered it in the way that
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: people wanted it to. The time to have done it
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: would have been back in two thousand and two, you know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: when they purchased it and they first came over, but
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: staying but one the way the contracts were set up
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: with w CW, a lot of those guys had no
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: reason to come to w W because they were still
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: getting paid by you know, by time because of the
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: contracts that they had, so they had right a lot
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: better than they would have been, like the peep. That's why, Yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: that's why you didn't get any major stars in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: Invasion angle from w CW. Like the biggest star you
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: got was Booker T.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure he took a pay.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Cut probably, and you saw how they treated him as
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: soon as he showed up, which also contributed to why
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Staying and in them decided well, while Staying himself decided
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: not to go because he saw Booker T show up
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: on television and immediately get.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Shot on by the Rock. So I remember that who
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: and the Blue hell are you?
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: And I believe things that he saw that all those
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: guys were getting treated, and he said, nope, I'm not
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: going over there just to get you know, pissed on
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: by Vince McMahon, just because he thinks we were the
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: inferior you know company is WCWRIGHT, which let's.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Be really probably is what would have happened.
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: If Sting would have showed up, they would have you know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: they would have jopped Staying out to undertake her like
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: a motherfucker.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: So let's say Sting versus Taker or now these are
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: two guys who are also on the roster at the
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: same time, came up very differently. But I feel like,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: you know, got both former world champions, and that is
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: Bautista versus Brock Lesnar, two guys who really haven't crossed paths.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking, you know, Bautista right after, you know, maybe
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: a year or so after he's beaten Triple h after
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: his first world title, and we're talking Brock Lesnar, you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: right fresh out of Summer Slam beaten the you know.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, you don't think Dacon Batista is Batista.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: No Deacon Bautista. The fact that anybody remembers Deacon Batista,
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: Holy ship, I do. I remember they went to they
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: were Olie Value Wrestling together, right ov W. They came there,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: came up together with Orton and Batista. Yeah yeah, Batista
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: and Lesnar, you know the yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah ov W class. But Orton, Bautista, les Yeah, Benjamin.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: And these guys. Like when they came up, like I remember,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: like you know, Batista went to rawl and you know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Brock went a SmackDown. Obviously, Brock shot straight to the top,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: and I think he's he was just a freak man
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: of nature. I mean, and he was young too. You know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Batista was a lot older when he started, and but
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: you know, taken under the wing of Triple H and
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: Rick Flair and put an evolution really catapulted his fucking
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: career from you know, Deacon Batista, you know, to the
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: animal damn that would have been. I mean this is
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: back when Batista also was three hundred pounds. You know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: he's definitely not that now. I forget how much he
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: weighs Now, he's definitely nowhere as Bays he as he was,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: but he's also a lot older. Uh yeah, I mean
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: it seems like to me there could have been a
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: window for both of these at one point, maybe even
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: in twenty sixteen, for Sting and Taker. I mean they
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: were literally at the same WrestleMania. That's the one where
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Taker fought Sting and Bray fought Taker. All right, yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Triple H, the Sting and Bray and Taker. There couldn't
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: even been a window there. I honestly, when Sting came
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: to back to WW that was the very first thing
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I said in my head. I'm like, let's do this now,
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: let's go hurry up, because that window was fucking small. Nope,
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: like I thought it would have been money even even
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: if you know, you guys, definitely damn well know in
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: twenty sixteen that match would have been sloppy, but we
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: would still gotten it. The build up for it may
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: have been great, the promos, the the I don't know.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: I think the build up would have been really good,
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: but the match itself would have been probably probably disappointing
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: in twenty sixteen.
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's literally what I said, Like by the yeah,
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: he was just hey, both him and Taker were past it. Yeah,
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: would not have good and Vince being vinced things still
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: would have lost the way put Sting over Undertaker, he
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: couldn't even put him over.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: So we're saying, like these guys both in their prime.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: We're saying like if they did get Sting right after
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: the Monday Night Wars right, would that be a more
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: entertaining and better match for you guys? And would you
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: rather see that or would you rather see you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: first world chance, first time you know, winning his world
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: title at WrestleMania, Beaten Triple H, Batista versus a fresh
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Heel Beaten the Rock brock Lesnar at SummerSlam Srey. What
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: do you got man?
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: Well, me, like I said, how I would define prime
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: Sting prime Sting is nineteen ninety seven and Sting it's
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: pretty much fresh Crow as he when he was, when
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: he was the hottest thing in wrestling before Stone Cold,
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: you know, three sixteen, all that took over because people
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: some people tend to forget that that, you know, there
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: was a year whereas yes, Sting was the hottest thing
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: in wrestling despite not wrestling a single match until the
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: end of the damn year or right barely saying a
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: word or doing anything. And he was the hottest thing
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: in wrestling when WCW was absolutely curb stomping WWF into
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: the ground every week in the ratings. So that's to me,
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: that's prime Sting, and that's and obviously when people think
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: of Sting versus Undertaker, they're obviously thinking of Crow Sting,
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: they're not thinking of Surfer Sting.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Because tech if you want to.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: Be technical about it, Steve Borden and Mark Callaway have wrestled.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Before, but it was a w c W.
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if you want to be technical, yes, it was
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: w CW when obviously, again Surfer Sting and me and
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: Mark Callous during Taker's first run in in WCW. So
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: they have wrestled before, but Obviously Sting was popular, but
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: he was he was not at his prime yet, and
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: you know, Mark was not even the Undertaker, wasn't even
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: a conception yet.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: So.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Prime Undertaker.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: I mean, if you want to consider that, I think
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: most people will probably envision some version of Attitude era
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: Undertaker as probably what people what people would envision I
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: would think when they think Sing versus Undertaker, those two
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: guys around that same time were an Undertaker in his
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: ministry of darkness, YadA YadA, full thing, and still in
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: his physical you know peak as well and could go
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: and then obviously crow Sting. Yeah, so that versus over
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Batista Lesler, Fuck this really, it's actually well, I can
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: say it ain't hard for me. I'm picking Sting versus
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: Undertaker all day, just because again, that is like the ultimate,
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: you know match that we never got, that people have
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: always wanted. If you would have rank them, that one
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: was probably number one all most people's lists, the biggest one.
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: So I mean Lesler versus Batista, Yeah, it probably would
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: have been a hell of a match, would have been
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: a big powerhouse match of them just hitting each other
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: with everything that they got. But I think the thing
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: that would hold that back that match back in terms
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: of the actual end ring at inspect of it would
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: be Batista's wrestling ability. Batista had all the presentation, he
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: had the presence, he was capable in the ring, but
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: he wasn't on brock Lesner's level in the ring. He
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: not even close. He can match brock Lesner in terms
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: of look and yell. On paper would be like, holy fuck,
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: these two freaking, you know, brick shit houses going at
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: it with each other.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: But I think the match itself.
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: Probably would leave some leave a little bit lacking, whereas
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: staying Peaksting and Peak Undertaker would have absolutely put on
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: a phenomenal match on top of what the build up
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: and all that could have been.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: Right, Doyle, serious thoughts, Buddy.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I tend to agree with Dre on this one, although
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I think peak Taker is a little later than the attitude.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I would say probably around the Sean Mania matches, whenever
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: that one was at the mid.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: O Yeah five, You're right, Doyle match.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I think that might be peak Taker. Yeah, and I
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: mean in twenty twenty six. I often will say, you know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: especially concerned around the Wyat six, that there's not much
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: room for spooky hocus pocus ship in wrestling today, But
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: twenty five thirty years ago, I think the Taker Stinging
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: promos would have been fucking awesome. And yeah, I just
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: don't I like Batista a lot. I don't really care
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: for Brock all that much. That match just doesn't really
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: do a whole lot for me. And yeah, take her
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and Sting is like, you know, maybe second only to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Hogan versus Flair if you want to talk, you know,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: old school w w F versus w c W. I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: just think there's a lot more cachet with the Sting
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Taker than there is with Lesnar and Batista. So I
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: would I would have to go with Sting and take her, all.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: Right, Stinging Taker, Well, you know, I agree with both
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: of you guys. You guys put out some pretty valid arguments.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: I like, you know, the fact that Taker, in our eyes,
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: we all kind of see him in different years of
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: being peaque because he was always a main event wrestler,
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: you know, I think a thirty years Yeah, that's another
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: thing too, exactly. Dude just been around for so long
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: it's so hard to determine, like you know what years,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: Like his gimmick was was great in the nineties, you know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: like like Dre said, with the ministry of darkness. But
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: then like the quality of his matches were the stories
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: that were being told, and the matches in the story
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: being told in the ring were better when he was
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: fighting like Sean Michaels, you know, like like you know,
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Doyle said, and ah, dude, it's it's good. And Uh,
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: as much as I would love to see and always
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: wanted to see Batista and brock Lesner, but I don't
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: think the promos and the build up wouldn't be there
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: for it. It would just be me getting excited for
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: the actual just match itself.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: But nah, if if I want the whole picture, the
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: whole show, nothing about the show, it's gonna Yeah, I agree, guys,
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: singing taker, I could the entrance. The entrances alone would
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: be like a half hour, right, We'd have crows and
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: fucking druids everywhere and fire everywhere, and ah god, it'd
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: be great. You have to be at wrestling outdoors awesome.
• 45:05

  Speaker 7: is the time pc W Watson for you every day
• 45:58

• 46:37
  Speaker 6: And moving on, Let's let's get right into uh yeah,
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: the Royal Rubble of twenty twenty six World Rubble. We
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: only have four matches. We are all the way in Rehad,
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Saudi Arabia. Let's talk about the stadium, guys, the stadium
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: that was built in twenty days, less than twenty days,
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: the King Abdullah Financial District. Uh do you guys hear
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: about this?
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: It looks it looks like it looks like a great
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: place to watch a show. I mean, the way they
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: have it set up is something built specifically for pro wrestling, right, Yeah,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I thought, I mean, I don't know what it's gonna
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: look like on TV, and I don't know, but like
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it looks like to be there. It looks looks like
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: it would be pretty cool. Yeah.
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, you know, I like that.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: We're not getting a fucking mile long ramp this year.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Uh right, you know, because sometimes the fucking the buzzer
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: goes off, the person makes their entrance, and by the
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: time they get in the ring, the buzzers the counter's
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: going off again. Yeah, it's just like none of the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: actions is focused on the ring. It's all focused on
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the entrance way when they do that. Yeah, so I'm
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: much I think this is much better whether they have
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: the fucking thing goes off, the person comes out, and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: then they're in the ring fifteen later.
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I agree.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's so much meaning I uh, you.
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: Know, considering the contracts that they have, this is a
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: big investment. I mean, if you're having ww coming back
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: possibly for WrestleMania, you know, for other pay per views, yeah,
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: this is an investment for for them and Jetta you
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: know too.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Well is it is it permanent or is it just
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: like a temporary thing?
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: I mean, the way they threw it up, I would
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: have it, it seems like it's probably temporary or maybe
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: this is just I don't know, if it's something that
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: they are going to expand upon for WrestleMania, right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: I mean I'm thinking of like guys when we went
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: to WrestleMania, right, Like, think about bathrooms, think about food,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: think about like, uh, fire exits. I mean, like, do
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: you guys trust something like yeah, when there's like about
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: fire exit, dude, Doyle, All I'm saying is, when there's
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: seventy two thousand people fucking yating in those stands, are
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: you gonna fucking trust the.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Structure of that thing?
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: You're sitting up in the fucking nosebleedze and that thing
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: starts rocking? Holy ship? Would I be nervous? I'd be
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: like whoa, whoa, whoa, Like why are we eating the
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: whole thing? Swaying back and forth?
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nope, definitely definitely something to keep your eye on. Ah.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's fine. It's basically just a bunch of glorified.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: It's basically just glorified bleachers.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: It's fine from what I gathered just by looking at it.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: That's really what it seems like like.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: The arena's just basically a whole bunch of stands and
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: a stage set up with a ring in the middle
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: and any other like any other facilities. Everything outside is yeah,
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: out outside, off site or you gotta leave the stands
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: area and then walk over to another area for what's
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: a concessions and bathrooms and ship h.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean you don't have to worry about OSHA, say, yeah,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: a lot easier in a stadium belt we.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: Do not have OSHA. If we have Ocean, we just
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: give them a big pile of cash. All right. Good.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Starting time two pm this Saturday, two pm, which, uh,
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: it sucks for me because I get done to work
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: at one thirty. I'm gonna rush home and I'm going
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: to start it right away. And the reason is because
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: I don't want to be fucking spoiled this year. And
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: the reason being is I just feel like this is
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: one of those pay per views where we didn't It
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: doesn't feel like we had a huge build up this
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: year to it. It feels very lack of No.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: It seems as much as I feel like anybody, like
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: quite a few people might could win this, it does
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: seem like it was just thrown together at the last
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: fucking second. Also, right, I don't. I don't like they
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: had when was the last proper pay per view, like
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: two months ago, Like they had all the time in
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the world, and as they chose to throw a Saturday
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Night's main event the week before, oh and then jam
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: all this stuff into two weeks, and it's just like
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I missed the days when you know, he had some
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: people sometimes people he had to qualify, or like, oh, yeah,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I wish they would do more story stuff, you know,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: or like, you know, whoever wins this match gets the number,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty to thirty and whoever loses gets one
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: to ten or something like that, you know, like I
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: wish there were more stakes leading up to it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I totally. If you have to bring up Saturday
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: Night's main event now when a there was no advertisement
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: for it, at least not not that I recall. I
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: recall a huge amount of advertisement we had. Just I'm
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: gonna read it real quick. Rhea and eo uh defeated
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: the judgment day live in Roxane, Pez for the women's
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: tag tam titles. AJ Styles put on a phenomenal match
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: no pun intended with Shinsky and Nakamora going twenty one
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: minutes and twenty seconds. Go back and watch that shit.
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: We got Sammy Zane defeating Damian Priest, Randy Orton and
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: Trick Williams in a fatal four way to determine the
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: undisputed ww Championship. So there's not there's not even a
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: personal bill up to the rivalry for that match. It's
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: just he he got it by you know, number broke
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: contender by Uh it was a tournament. Uh so yeah,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: like Saturday night main event. I totally spaced out on that, Like,
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, did you guys watch it?
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Watched it? I mean, it wasn't a bad show.
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: I will give them credit for, as opposed to other
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: Saturday Night main events where they were just like, Okay,
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: here's some matches, YadA, YadA, move on. At least this
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: was used with some storyline advancement a little.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: Bit, or at least at least some things taking place.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, at least some things took place that
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: advanced other storylines forward somewhat, you know, Yeah, we didn't
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: get a actual match between Jody Jody, between Jacob and
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: Cody because but you know, Drew showed up and interfered,
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: so clearly there's you know, something's still going on with that.
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: You know, those two are those three are probably going
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: to be tied together moving forward past the Rumble, because
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: you know, even though they haven't, they kind of just
• 54:10
  Speaker 8: mentioned it and passing and kind of glossed over it.
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: But we do know now that Drew is the one
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: who took out Jacob fasu it was in fact not
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: Cody the way people were trying to speculate before.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I mean.
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: Jacob said it like, you know, he was trying to
• 54:25
  Speaker 8: get up when they had their sitting down face to face.
• 54:28
  Speaker 8: They was trying to get at Drew for he say,
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: kicking his teeth in or something like that. So low
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: key confirmed it. But obviously they haven't done anything beyond that.
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: So I mean, at least that, you know, the match,
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: the Fatal four way that we had obviously had stakes
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: to it that actually mattered because now we have Sammy
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: challenging for the title at the Rumble.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll give him, let's talk about that.
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: Let's get into that matter real quick. Uh, Sammy's in
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: going up against Drew McIntyre. Uh, Drew finally world uh
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: w W champion, heel w W champion. And it feels
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: like Sammy Zay get Now am I wrong?
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: Does it feel like sam Zane gets these title shots
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: roughly in the beginning of the year always before Mania,
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: never wins it, so it was him or Kevin Owens
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: feels like yeah, yeah, Like I remember.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: The clod that match with Roman Chamber a couple of.
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: Years I thought he was going to get to get in.
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: It was that with Roman. He was so over then.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: But know better?
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, but you know, I I just think, uh,
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: if if anything, I don't think he's gonna win the
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: title here. I think if anything, he would win a
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: Rumble Freid win the title. I feel like that's the
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: kind of story they would give.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: When they announced, when they announced to Rumble in Saudi Arabia,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is where the SAMI
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: World title uh story finally happens. But now I think
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be WrestleMania next year in Arabia.
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was thinking the same exact thing,
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: you know. So I felt like this match was a
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: lock in after I kind of did you know the
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: numbers like like you guys did, and and figured it
• 56:33
  Speaker 6: out like oh yeah, like next year, Like that makes
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: way more sense for a first title win for sure, guys.
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: So I mean, for me, lock in of the century
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: Drew McIntyre, but not to say that it's not gonna
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: be an awesome match.
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: So sure, yeah, that was pretty obvious. I mean pretty
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: much the moment Drew McIntyre one. I speculated that we
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: were going to get Sammy versus Drew at the Rumble because,
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: like I said, like we've already said Saudi Arabia, and
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: the fact that, while to take it back, I thought
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: we were gonna get it at Saturday Night's main event.
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: I thought that's when they were gonna have it because
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: I'd forgotten that the Rumble was in Saudi Arabia. But
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: then somebody reminded me of that and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: never mind, it's going to happen at the Rumble. So predictable,
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: and of course Drew's going to retain because clearly Sammy's
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: not his focus and that's not where the creative team's
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: focus is at either, as evidenced by the fact that
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: Drew interfered in the Cody and Jacob match, which there
• 57:46
  Speaker 8: was no reason for him to do that if his
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: focus was on Sammy's ain the person he has defended
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: the title against, so and that may not have been
• 57:56
  Speaker 8: their intent when they did it, but by doing by
• 57:59
  Speaker 8: having Drew in a far in Cody and Jacobs's match,
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: they basically signaled that his match with Sammy's Ain't is
• 58:06
  Speaker 8: a throwaway, and it's basically being done just for the
• 58:09
  Speaker 8: Saudis to appease them to have the pop so that
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: it looks good on television that you know, this dude
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: comes out and he's over his hell and super popular.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: And they're gonna have a great match.
• 58:20
  Speaker 8: The match is gonna be absolutely awesome, and Sammy's gonna
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: come within a fucking whisker of winning that title and
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: then he's gonna fucking lose. So, I mean, as far
• 58:32
  Speaker 8: as I'm concerning, this match is gonna be really good,
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: but paint by numbers obvious as hell.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Drew's gonna retain, all right, Doyle, Yeah, I mean.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a pretty much echo everything Dray said. Uh yeah,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great match. Yeah, Sam
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: is gonna come within a ball hair of winning the title.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: But he's not gonna.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: I maybe, maybe, maybe I could see a world where
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: he then comes back and wins the Rumbo after, But
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I think that's wishful thinking or or far fest thinking,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: or maybe yeah, I think much. I think he will
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: eventually win one of the world titles at some point,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: and probably some point I don't know. I guess maybe
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: next year is a little over a year away. But
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: in the near future, I think. I don't think you
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: start this. I've never won a world title story without
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: paying it off eventually. I do feel like he failed
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: though a couple of times, so it's kind of strange
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: to have him go through all that again and then.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I think eventually he will get one
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: of those titles at some point, but not not on Saturday.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: And I mean true, Drew. Drew just won the fucking belt,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I know there was there was some speculation about,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: you know, will he keep it to Mania or whatever.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: It is a big enough style, but if they were
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: going to take it off of them, it would have
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: been Cody or somebody you know, or Roman or somebody
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: that's not It's certainly going to be.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 11: They're not going to take it off through to put
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 11: it on Sammy Jane going into WrestleMania.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Sammy, that's not so. Yeah. I think Drew Drew
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: wins this. Uh, but just by the skin of his kilt.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: I think looking strong. Yeah, yeah, regardless of what happens.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: All right, let's move on to the next semetch. Yam,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: I don't I don't have many. Oh my god, I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: lost the page. Uh a J Styles versus Gunter in
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: a career rightning match. If Styles loses, he will be
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: forced to retire from his ain ring competition. Oh fuck.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: I was thinking about it because I saw a meme
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: and it was of AJ Styles having all these great
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: matches this year or last year. And the captain said,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: is like you were watching AJ's aisles retirement all year
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: and you didn't know it, you know, and he has
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 6: been putting on some killer matches, you know. Uh, his
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: contract is up. It wouldn't it wouldn't. Yeah, it wouldn't
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: make sense to me to have going through lose after
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: coming off of such a big win and going into
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna have him lose at least
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: until WrestleMania. I think they're gonna have him just keep
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: winning going through, just just keep that fucking momentum going. Man,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: right now, he's probably like one of the most hated
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: fucking people on the roster.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: Like I even said, like, it would be clever as
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: fuck if if he was, if he was in the Rumble,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: that he came out to Johnson's fucking music first and
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: then his music would play after it, just to be
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: a fucking heel.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: But this whole thing, this momentum of being the career Killer,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: and now they're trademarking the name.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, I don't like.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: I don't like that either, because that makes me think
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 6: of everybody who's gonna be lined up in front of him.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: Who's next, Nikki Bella, Uh, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho. I
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: could see that happening. I could see that it's not
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: even he's not even in the same company right now,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: And I could already book it for this year.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think, I think I know who Gunther's
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: next retirey would be. Yeah, but I will tell you
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: that when we talk about the Rumble.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: But yeah, it just doesn't make sense to have Gunther lose.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Now it also doesn't make sense for J Styles. I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: understand that, but it's like competing competing logical fallacies, right.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: I'm proposing an idea because it's absolutely bashit crazy. If
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: if AJ Style's last WW match was in Saudi, right
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: in Saudi on and Roy Rumble. But then again, John
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: Cenas was on a fucking Saturday night main event.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: H So.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 6: It would be great for per story for Gunther for
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: this w uh. But I could see AJ Styles going
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: and spending not the whole year, but spending a few
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: months in TNA, wrapping up some stuff in TNA, giving TNA.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: Now that they have that TV deal, maybe that means
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 6: they can afford a little bit more, which means they
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: can afford a contract like AJ Styles for a few months,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: maybe not lock him in for a year or two,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: Maybe lock him in for six seven months or a
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: few matches. You know, I can see that bringing huge ratings,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: having AJ Styles over there, you know, bringing a big
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: old fish like that back to a small pond again.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: I mean AJ Styles putting over some younger guys in TNA,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: or you know, running back some older matches, some feuds,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 6: having regniting all that old TNA footage. Uh, and then
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: who knows, per storyline, maybe he comes back at the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: end the year in WW it wraps it up in TNA.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: I mean it would make sense, right, I mean that's
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: where he really came from TNA. But that's a wild idea.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: I have wild, wild idea. But you know, I'd like
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: to hear your thoughts, Dre.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: Your idea is not as wild as you think it is,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: because that's the idea that I would have had my
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 8: my thinking, because as you said, it makes no sense
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 8: for aj styles last match to happen in Saudi Arabia.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: That just doesn't make any sense at all whatsoever. So
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: that means either one or.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Two things happens. Either A he wins.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: And this few continues past the rumble, or aj Styles
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 8: was on to something else, or B he does lose.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 8: It's seemingly the end of his career, but it's really
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 8: just the end of his WWE career, and then he
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 8: signs with TNA to finish out the rest of his career.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, it could very well be the end of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 8: his WWE career, because I don't know that they would
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: go so far as build this up the way it
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 8: is have him lose. Just for him to go off
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 8: somewhere else for a while but then come back to
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 8: ww for another match like that would just it would
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 8: take a lot to try to make that logically pull off.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: To pull that off logically, but this could genuinely be
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 8: the end of his WWE career, and then like you said,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: he signs with TNA, he works with them, gives them
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 8: a boost to their product now that it's on AMC
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: with their television contract. Also, if he's technically signed with TNA,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 8: which I believe he probably would be, I think his
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 8: contract would be up and he would actually sign with TNA.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: That would be the.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 8: Loophole that he could that he would be able to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 8: exploit against Gunter should he return at a later date.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 8: But also with him being signed to TNA, that would
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 8: probably give him freedom to work outside of TNA as well,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 8: if he wanted to, say, have a farewell match in
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 8: Japan or some at something like I think Russell Kingdom
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 8: has already happened.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: Right, I would know where's Carlos when you need him.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: I feel like Russell Kingdom always happens around the beginning
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: of the year in Japan. But anyway, if that's already happened,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 8: or he could work that, you know, one last time
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 8: with somebody, have a fit a final match in Japan.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: But like you said, all those things to really wrap
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 8: up his career, he can do it, and he can
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 8: do it on his terms without the restrictions that WW
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: that a WWE contract would impose on him. He would
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 8: have that freedom with a TNA contract, And given that
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: they are still partnered up with WW whenever he does
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 8: the finally decide to have that true last match of
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 8: his career, they can do that in some crossover fashion
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: with WWE, since he would at that point technically be
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: a TNA star, but they could work out something if
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: they wanted to give it the high profile WWE stage.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 8: So that's that's what I've been thinking for a while,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 8: is the route they're going to go. So as far
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 8: as this match, I think he actually does lose the.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 6: Match, Yeah, Doyle.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: The way I see it, there are four ways this
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: match could end, and only three of them are Three
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: of them are possibilities. The thing that will not happen
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: is AJ is not going to win the match. I
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: think he could lose and just be done, you know,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's certainly on the table.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Not everybody wants or needs a you know, victory parade,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: you know, on their way out the door. And maybe
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. You know, there is a contract,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: speculation stuff, but we don't know any if any of
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: that's true or not. If it is, it makes perfect sense.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Shinske apparently made some social media posts talking about how
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: AJ had told him his career was gonna end at
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: the or his last match is going to be a
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: throwing a rumbolt like a couple of weeks ago. So
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, then again, who knows if that's true or not.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: I think certainly AJ could lose and then do some
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: time in TNA to wrap things up. I think that's
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: probably the most likely. Or I think it could end
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: in a smise and we don't really get a winner
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: or a loser, and thus AJ doesn't have to retire.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense because
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: you've built up, gone through is his career ender, you know,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: and then to have him not not do it doesn't
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. And you know what, while
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: you don't put the career, you don't do that stipulation
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: unless you're gonna pay it off, I don't think, right,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: So I think much more likely is that AJ loses
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: and then yes, he does TNA, which I think is
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: what's probably gonna happen. I mean, they did tease he
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't on the TNA show, you know, and they did
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: tease stuff with him going forward there. Or he's just
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: losing and he's done, you know, I think that's almost
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: as likely. You know, like I said, not everybody needs
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: to have their ass kists on the way out the door,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: you know. And maybe you know, maybe we've been watching
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: his retirement all along, you know, like he's like, like
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the memes said, memes are never wrong. Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I think I think AJ is gonna lose. Uh,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: And just it's a matter of does he actually retire
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: or does he go to TNA and never retire. There's
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: no chance that he wins, I don't think. And if
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: it just so you can have to continue it and
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: then he just loses the gun there when at Mania
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: or at Chamber or something, you know, like and what
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: good is that? It doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm. Yeah, right, I'm glad we're all in the
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: same pace for that too. For all really good fucking reasons.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I would. I would definitely think that now
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: that TEENA has that that contract with with AMC, they
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 6: could definitely afford more star power and like, you know,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: why not, right, that's that'd be a hell of a boost.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: And I that's where he started out, and what what
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: kind of way to go out? You know what a
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: nice rub like, Hey, I'll help you you guys with
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: the ratings. You know this is you guys helped me
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: with my career early on.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: So I mean back then, who'd have thought this company
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: would even still be around? Yeah, plus whatever, you're for sure.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: Dude would be eating crow right now if I you know,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: bet on that, because I for sure.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Was like longer than w CW was.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 8: If they haven't already surpassed WCW, they're coming up on it.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah for sure. All right, guys, let's get into the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 6: exciting part of the show.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 8: Crazy when you think about it, though, it's prominent, Like
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, just just this quick side note since we
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 8: touched on it, w CW is still probably considered the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 8: number two wrestling company of all time, despite the fact
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 8: that in North America, despite the fact that there are
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: other promotions that have now outlasted though, but still you
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: have yet to have had as big a.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: W c W. Really wasn't w c W all that long?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: I think when did it? When did it cease to
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: b n W A like the early nineties maybe or
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: the late eighties.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: It was around late eighties. It was late eighties because
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: for a while, Yeah.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: They were's that thirteen years?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much they it was eighty seven.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: If it was eighty seven, it was thirteen fourteen years.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean when it was still under Jim Crockett Promotions,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: it was World Chap.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: It was WCW, but it was.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: The right way. The show was called. The world was
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: called World Championship Wrestling, like the TV show. That's not
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: what the promotion was called.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: Right, it was. It was both. It was both.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 8: They were part they were still part of the National
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: wrest the NWA, the National Wrestling Alliance, but it was
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 8: still it was technically the promotion was WCW. It was
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 8: World Championship Wrestling, and they had the Saturday show which
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: was called World Championship Wrestling, and then the Sunday show
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 8: was called the n WA Main Event. Again, the promotion
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 8: was WCW. Technically, but it existed. I want to say
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: the promotion was WCW, but existed under Jim Crockett Promotions.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: So I don't know if the organizem I'm not one
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: hundred percent sure. I'd have to look it up to
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 8: see if the if the company was World Championship Wrestling
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 8: or if the company was Jim Crockett Promotions.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: It was one of the two.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 8: But as far as when they became full on, non
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 8: non NWA affiliated pure w CW, is when Ted Turner
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 8: bought it. That took place probably I want to say
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 8: late eighties, late eighties, baby nineteen ninety at the latest.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: I wanna I want to bring this up as well.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: Did you guys recall if we're supposed it's not on
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: the wiki here that's where I get our matches. But
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: Stephanie Viquire versus Cal Rodriguez for the Women's World title,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know if that's still on like it's supposed
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 6: to be.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: I thought that was supposed to be on Row next week.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: That is, yeah, that's Raw next week, and.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Now yeah it's a Philly street fight.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 6: That's right, Okay. I don't know why that was in
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: the rumble that's right.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Like right after there is another match, so that they
• 1:15:16

• 1:17:27
  Speaker 8: Uh their current X Women champion j C. Yeah, she's
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 8: She's probably going to be in almost certainly Jada Parker.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: Now that she's back mm hmmm, may possibly even Blake Monroe.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't rull her out.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: Or Lola Ice Lola Ice as well.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably about it.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ye, why have Why did.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: I write this down? I had, oh m Dane Dina Luna.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 6: That's a a female wrestler from uh and uh.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: T n A.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: I was thinking of TNA females ash by Alliens. Do
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: you guys remember her?
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: Dena Brook. I can see that if we're trying to
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: pull from.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: A who's who's there? Who's there women's champion.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: Currently?
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: Let me see whom ever that is.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: Is really the only t N A person I could
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: I could think would be in it. Whoever, whomever their
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: champion is.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, probably not gonna be Oh it's still.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah Zailey Lee Yingley, all.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: Right, that would be fun.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think she's a good good
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: chance of being in there. Maybe.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, it used to past you needed just kind
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: of people to pad out this thing, but I think
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: they have more than thirty viable people right now, so
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: it's more it's more of a who's not going to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: be in it?
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, remember we talked about this before about how deep
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: the roster is right now, especially with so many women
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 8: being healthy right now.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: That's the same time, this.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 12: Is a very very you know, I think I think
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 12: you can book Tricia ticket to Saudi Arabia for sure.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 12: She's on She's on that idiot Stephanie McMahon's podcast this week,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 12: so I think I think for sure, I think she'll
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 12: be there.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 8: Leod episode was an episode well.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Well I believe it was Maxine Dupree, but I might
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: be wrong about that. Did a did a face story
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: or something like that while they were on the charter
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: and guess who was in the background clear as day.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: At least it's not both.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: I have both.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: Oh how about page.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: If we're talking about if we're getting into the surprise.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 10: Return, we hey, we got we got three spots left,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 10: would not rule out we have three spots three left.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, some remains we have listened already. They need to
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 8: be stripped out because there's some mains of people.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: That Tiffy is.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Tiffany Stratton.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 8: Tiffy Stratton is definitely in. I think there's a non
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 8: zero chance that we get Biancle bel Air's return.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not rule her out.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: Zoe Stark, I think is probably close yet, Zoe, I
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: think it's almost certainly.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 8: I think the good chance of a being the rumble
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 8: because she's never done a women's royal rumble before.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: All Right, Kyrie saying Oscar's in, But I don't think
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: they said Kyrie sayin was way surprised to see her.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because I think Kyrie already said she was wanting
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 8: to help Oscar win the rumbles.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you guys are right, because they seem
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: to need to involve her at sucking everything for some reason.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: Who would I wouldn't rule out Sarah Logan from the
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: Wyat six.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: Cross Nicky Cross.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when was the last time she even wrestled? Though?
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, not that it has any bearing on whether
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: she'll appear in this or not, but it seems like
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: it's been.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: We clearly have enough women. We're way over thirty hours,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: which is great.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 8: This is great because in other words, there will probably
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 8: be fewer NXT people than we think. And yeah, like
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: we said now that if anybody at all, for if
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 8: it is a person, it's gonna be.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: As a women's champion, So.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 6: I can cross, Yeah for sure, Lola Ice are.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 8: Note worthy from Triple A. Could I mean, there could
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: be somebody, but I don't know. I don't know, you
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 8: know what, I would probably rule out.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: A familiar enough with their women's.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 8: Roster, So honestly, I would rule out Triple A people
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: just because I don't know if they're going to book
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: somebody and have them go through trouble of putting together
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 8: an outfit appropriate for Saudi.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so all right, now that we filed it out,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: we kind of filled in the gaps of who we
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: think could ye finely be showing up? Which I love this,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: love this filling in the gaps. Let's down to the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: final four. Final four, all right, Dre, let me hear
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: your final four. Let me write these down.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, So my final four.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: I think it's gonna come down to Live Morgan, a
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: freshly returned Bianca Belair.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna say real Ripley just because she's so fucking over.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 8: They they can't help but make her one of the
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 8: little final four. And who could I say, make a
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 8: really good showing and this and come out looking wrong.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: This would be a really good platform to get somebody over.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 8: I would like to say Jordan Grace, but probably not.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: Mm Noah, I won't be Niah Jacks.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: There's another one for the rumble.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: Naya, She's already She's already.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: Listen. Never mind, ye.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: See what I'm saying, Ria Bianka live and between Oscar
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 8: and Becky Lynch. I'm between Oscar and Becky Lynch is
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 8: one of the final four. Nah bet he's not gonna
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 8: know Becky's not because A j Lee is gonna show
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: up and she's gonna cost her and get her probably
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: put out fairly early on, which is gonna set up
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: there for you to move moving forward. So aj Lee
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 8: Becku Lynch, they won't be one part of the final four.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 8: Uh I would love the dark horse. Chelsea Green is
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: one of the final four. I'm gonna put I'm gonna
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: have her as a dark horse.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, all right, uh.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 8: I really I really want I would love for Chelsea
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 8: Green to win a Rumble one year. Yeah, and and
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: just in it, not necessarily in like a serious way,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 8: not to make a joke of her character, but she
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 8: always has this thing of or starting to develop this
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: thing where she's surviving almost by accident where it's like,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 8: you know, she gets knocked out and she's like unconscious
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 8: for half of the matt Rumble and Ship, and then
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 8: she wakes up and it's like six people left.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: It's like, holy shit.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 8: I would love to see them do that one year
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 8: or something like that, maybe not that exact thing, but
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 8: where she's like accidentally surviving for the whole thing and
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 8: just finding ways and then the crowd it starts getting
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 8: behind her and then before she knows it, she's one
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: of like the final four and then has to actually
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 8: get serious and then gets serious and wins the damn thing.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 8: I think that would be like the perfect way for
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 8: her to win the Rumble, but it's not gonna be
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 8: this year.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 6: Okay, So now who do you have as your final two?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: You have Live Bianca, Rhea and Chelsea Reen.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: I think the final two will be Live in Bianca and.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 8: The winner this year. For me on the women's side,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 8: I think it's Live Morgan. She's come so close so
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 8: many years, yeah yeah, and been falling just short, either
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 8: being the last one eliminated or the next last one eliminated.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: I think this is the year she finally breaks through.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: Okay, ah, man, I like that, Doyle. Let's hear your homework.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Man. Well, I don't think there will be an iron
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: Man this year iron Woman.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: Rather this year.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: The last couple of years we've had we've had people
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: going I think Bailey went over an hour. Then then
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: I think last year two people I think Live and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Roxanne both went over an hour. I don't think we're
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: gonna get that that this year because I think this
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: is going to go on first, it's going to be
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: like seventy five degrees and they're all going to be
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: wearing those plastic Beekeeper outfits, so I think I don't
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: think anybody's going to be in there for a extremely
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: long time this year. But for the Diesel Spine, I
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: think Last Legend is going to come in and uh
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: eliminate six seven eight people. But my final form is
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: almost exactly like Trace. I have Chelsea Green, Live Morgan
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: I for Jordan Grayson and a returning Beyonce bell are Coo.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't think of a final two, but I would.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: I would probably go with the same final two the
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: dre had Biyonca and Live, except I will have Bianca win.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: I think then we go do uh do Bianca Jade
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Drake while the iron is gets any cooler. Maybe I
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: feel like this would have been hot. I think there
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: was a time when we said that's the hottest match
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: that they got, and I don't think that's the case anymore.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: I still think it certainly can be heated back up.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think that you know, they came
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: in teasing that right off the bat. I think that's
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: the direction they're going to go and finally pull the
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: trigger on that one. My dark horse to win the thing, though,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: was Tiffany Stratton. I could see a world where she uh,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: if they want to go with someone that's never won one,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: I still think they're going to tease out that Live
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: comes so close and doesn't do it. And I think,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: you know, eventually she'll gon to rumble win if not
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: too under her belt, you know, before it's all said
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: and done. But I think they're gonna drag her out
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: another year or yeah, I think I think the Ancle
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: comes back and wins it.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 8: I had a similar thought about Bianca winning and then
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 8: them going into the feud with her and Jade, which
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 8: you know probably I think it's still their work work
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 8: for WrestleMania. What made me apprehensive about that and maybe
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 8: changed my mind on the Rumble this year is the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: Ja this year where he won the Rumble. Then they
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 8: had to drag that feud out all the way to
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 8: WrestleMania and it lost all its momentum. I would like
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 8: to think that they learned from that mistake last year
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: and that they won't turn because of that. They won't
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: rush into the Bianca Jay feud. We're still gonna get
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 8: that feud. But if Bianca wins the rum then it
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 8: starts basically that very next week.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: Well, if she doesn't, we have to declare if her,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they could do a couple of weeks of
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: her dragging it out, you know, her coming down the
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: ringside and maybe watching Jade's match, and maybe watching Stephanie
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Belcroz match, you know, and can maybe tease it out
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: and so that by the time she declares, we've we've
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: knocked a month off the time we have to drag
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: it out, you know.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 8: I think that's Remember they also tried that last year
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 8: though as well with Charlotte when she won, and it
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 8: also killed that dragging out thing didn't work out too
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 8: well for her also with you know, people not responding
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 8: well to the fact that she won the damn thing
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 8: in the first place.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: So I think my.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 8: Guess is Bianca becomes close she's back, they will. They
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: won't jump right into a feud with her and Jade,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 8: but there will there will be some level of tension
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 8: between them, like they'll come back, and then She's gonna
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: try to be cool with her despite Jade's new attitude,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 8: and they'll do that maybe for a while. That will
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 8: get them a few weeks going into elimination chamber, and
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: then I think by that point, either Bianca and Jay
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 8: will be in a full on feud. At this point,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: you know, the friendship will have dissolved in their enemies
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 8: now or there will still be cool. Bianca will win
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 8: the elimination Chamber, and then from there it's full speed
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 8: ahead with them beefing like, oh you winning an elimination
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 8: cham you're coming after meet now, bitch?
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: I did, what's up then?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: And then you know, Bianca won the elimination champer last
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: year though I know isn't the same in a.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: Row, but Charlotte want I thought about that too, like
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: damn they.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 8: Right, no, no, it was last year because that's how
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 8: she got Charlotte. Charlotte won the Rumble and Beanca won
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 8: the elimination Chamber. Yeah, yeah, that's how she had the
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 8: thing with Eo set up.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no, no, no no. Bianca won the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: won the elimination Chamber.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 8: She was and we thought we were gonna get finally
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 8: get Bianca versus Ria WrestleMania, but then Leo beat Ria,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 8: Like yeah, the next night on Raw it became champion.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: I know, I didn't.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: We were not fans, all right, guys. I think for
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: my pick pretty much very similar to you guys with
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: the last four uh, you know, maybe it's just that
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: predictable this year. You know, Live Morgan, Bianca bell Air
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: Ria and again the fourth person can be swapped out
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 6: between Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green. I see, uh, because
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: Tiffany has been out for a while too, and and
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 6: you know a lot of people forget how long she
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: was fucking champion for she like most of the year.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: So most of the last year.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, So they have black luster, so expect her
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: to Tiffy time, you know, And uh, yeah, you're you're right, Doyle.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: These women are all going to be in power in
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: your outfits. And I just read like the news before
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 6: we started that there was a report that I guess
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: they're a little frustration that all the women's outfits they
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 6: had to pay for themselves, all their ring gear.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I do that in the best.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought they always have paid for their own gear.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought so too. But you know, there's a
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: lot more women going this year.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, I mean it is a unique situation
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: where it's a situation where you have a specific kind
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: of thing you have to wear, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: you can't just wear the same old, same all you
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: have to do something totally different. So I mean, I
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: can see maybe some frustration there, but I was in
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: the depression anyway. That's always how it's been. They've always
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: taken care of their own ship. Yeah, I heard, I heard, Uh,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: I've heard them pitch about you know, how much stuff costs,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: or or they didn't you know, I wanted to wear
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: this that night, but it didn't I didn't get it
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: in time, so I didn't, you know.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure wrestlers the women, well,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: wrestlers may have women pay for their own gear, and
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 8: they have you know, their people that they go to,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 8: like you know that for their outfits or their person
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 8: or a couple of people that they go to. I
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 8: don't know if I mean, at best, maybe I could
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 8: see if w C, I mean, if w W gave
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: them maybe a stipend for the Rumble fits because they
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 8: were against unique circumstances. But also it's kind of one
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 8: of those things where they've been doing it long enough
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 8: now that they all know it's coming. So it's like, hey, Rumble,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 8: if you if you're booked to be on the plane
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 8: in the Saudi then obviously you know you got to
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 8: have the outfit right, So.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 6: That's my fate, my last four, my last two h
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: it is live in Beyonca. Uh And I'm kind of
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 6: agreeing with Drey here. I think Live this is Live's time.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 6: She was out with an injury, she came back.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 6: I I she always comes so goddamn close, you know.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 6: I I it sucks that Bianca would have to get
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 6: that treatment again, but she I feel like that she'll
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: get that title shot at WrestleMania. There's just other ways
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: for her to get there. She's done it before in
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: the chamber. Maybe maybe Beyonca is just if she wins
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 6: chamber again this year, maybe that's just her thing. Like
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: anytime Beyonca enters that chamber, that's a w for her,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: Like that's just her fucking things.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: That queen of the elimination chain.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 6: Exactly exactly, dude, like it. No who is, nobody is
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: will give that the fucking Bianca, you know it. And
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: you know, then if she would gets that, and that
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: will lead her into the the you know, feud with
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: Jade Cargil, which is just what we've been dying for
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 6: for so fucking long, you know, and oh god live
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: winning the rumble and then you know, with given the
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: injury with Stephanie Vequer, I mean, it's fucking crazy swerve
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: of the century, right, uh, given Raquel the world title,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: it ain't happening. But there's an injury, man. I mean,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: I understand, I understand, but sometimes we're gonna we get
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: those title changes out of nowhere and we don't want them.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 6: We always get one at WrestleMania that we don't want.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: We always get a feud or match at WrestleMania that
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 6: we don't care about. I feel like they're gonna give
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: us Live versus Raquel at WrestleMania and I don't want it.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: But that is not a WrestleMania caliber match.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: That is not It's not but.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like great balls of fire, right.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 6: That's not happening anyway.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 8: There are way too many big name women on the rock.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 8: And that's nothing against Raquel Rogez, but there are way
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 8: too many big name women, especially on the raw roster,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 8: for Raquel Rodriguez to go into WrestleMania as the women's
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 8: World champions.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: Sorry but she she ain't there yet.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 6: Let me let me throw you another batshit crazy idea.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: Dre all right, you have Live Morgan and Bionce bell
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: Air fighting in the ring. Right number, they're at number
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: twenty nine. Right, we're waiting for number thirty to come in.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 6: You got only two wrestlers left in the ring, number thirty.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: Chelsea Green comes out number thirty, right.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: Walkers one of the last three by default.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 6: No, no, Chelsea Green comes out to the ring. Chelsea
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 6: gets in the ring, and in the process of her
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 6: getting in the ring, Bianca and Live or going at
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: it at the side and they pull a Batista John
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: Cena and eliminate each other. Fucking Chelsea wins the Women's
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: Royal Rumble by default.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: I would hate that so much.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 8: Do you know that idea was the idea of Chelsea
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 8: surviving by accident, but not her winning a rumble without
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 8: doing anything.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: I feel like that would the ideas.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: Pitched in season one of w W on The Real
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: on Netflix. They pitched that idea for I think it
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: was last year's rumble.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: And it got shot down for good damn.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: But say that not stupid enough to the idea.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: That knows.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 8: As much as people want to maybe criticize Paul and
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 8: for whatever you know, ideas he does, whatever booking he does,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 8: I don't think Paul would disrespect the women's rumble or
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 8: the rest with something like that, right and honestly, and
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 8: that type of booking I think would be just that.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 8: It would be disrespectful to have twenty nine women go
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 8: out there, bust ay ass, fight like a motherfucker just
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 8: for one person to walk down the ramp, not even
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 8: break a sweat and win. The fans would hate that.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 8: The fans were like, that's just a bad idea all
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 8: around across the board. There's no way you can book
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 8: that in any way, shape or form that it would work.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 6: All right, Let's move on to the men's Let's get
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 6: the last match. Seventeen men who are announced in the match.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: The ones on SmackDown we have is Cody Rose, Roman,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: Solo Socoa, Jacob fat Too, and Randy Orton. The known
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: raw wrestlers are Gunter, Jay Usso, Ray Mystereo, Dragonly Penta,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 6: bron Breaker, Logan, Paul Bronson, Reed, Austin Theory, Javon Evans,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 6: and nxt Oba Femi and then free agent Barack lesnar
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: I can do whatever the hell I want.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 8: No, he's not anymore. He just has a debut on
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 8: the main roster. This will basically be his main roster debut.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 6: So eighteen to thirty. Who can we predict to show
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 6: up that is not on this list?
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: Matt Cardona, because he's already over there.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 6: All right, let me write this down, Matt Carodona.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: Night up, l Knight.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: How about Chad Gable?
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think there's a lot of opportunity there to
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: do something wonderful, whether it's two TAPEDI El Grande Americano's
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: and uring at the same time, or or he just
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: comes back as yokes Chad Chad Gable and he just
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think El Grande american was declared either, but
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: assuming they're in it, that would be great if Chad
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: Gable just goes and destroys them or something. I think
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of opportunity for fun with with with
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: Gable and either as or an Land Americano.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 8: I would definitely pencil in El Grande Americano in this rumble,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 8: just for that very reason, just to get some sort
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 8: of confrontation between him and Chad Gable, whether it is
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 8: Chad or Chad as El Grande.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: In the way, it's could be funny.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: Do we get from t n A. I don't know
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 6: that we do nickname. Do we get Moose Sah.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe Leon, maybe Leon Slater, maybe Leon.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: I think you're more likely to see y Kingo or
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: mister Iguana than from d n A, just so that
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: they can have the iguana go flying over Coprow. I
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: think that would be fun. I think this that is
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 8: If anybody from Triple A is gonna come over and
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 8: be in this, yeah, it would definitely be some guys
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 8: on the men's side, and I could Yeah, mister Iguana,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 8: I could see definitely being in the rumble.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 6: Please know Okami Shame No, Chris Jericho.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: Possibly, but he's he's still on the U A W
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: roster page as he was yesterday. Anyway, I haven't texted today. Uh,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: And they keep that thing pretty fucking up to date,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: Like Thomas h. Champa was on there about five minutes
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: after he debuted, so it's not like, uh, nobody's paying
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: attention to that thing. And I gotta believe that as
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: long as Jericho is still on that on that roster page,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: he's still under contract only roll it out. No, Yeah,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: that's a possibility.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Hendry is definitely gonna be in the rumble. Definitely.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: Did you see they just this is somebody I think
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: guarantee to they're gonna waste a spot on. Uh did
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: you see they signed some Saudi Arabia in Powerlifter or
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: something to a developmental deal. I think, I think one
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. I've never been more sure of anything in
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: my entire life. He's gonna be rumble.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Saudi local.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 8: Yep, Saudi local. Basically I don't remember his name, but yeah,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 8: I heard it. He's definitely gonna be in there. Uh,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 8: Trick Williams gonna be dragging off yep, dragging off.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: Ko. Maybe I don't know where he's at with his recovery,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: but yeah, and I still, I still, I'm telling you
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: until until number thirty has come and everyone but one
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: person has gone over the top rope, I'm not going
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: to be convinced that seth Rawlins is not going to
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: be involved in due.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 6: I was just about to bring it up. I was
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 6: just about it. That's the last guy.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: I could see him doing a Hogan with sid you
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: know where he isn't in the rumble, but he cost
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: spawned breaker or something how or maybe even a world
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: if he's if he's not ready. But he's close. Maybe
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: there's a world where maybe they do that for Cock
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: the Chelsea Green thing, where he comes out thirty and
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: no one's left. Or maybe he comes out thirty and
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: all he really has to do is bump a guy
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: or two over the top, you know, and then maybe
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have to wrestle for two months, three months, whatever,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: you know. I think that's a possibility. I kind of
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: hope not. I don't want him to send somebody in
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: with one wing out there, but I don't think he
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: can roll it out. I just don't try to believe it.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: I won't believe it until until I see produced by
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: Paulovec and Leaf bidding. I'm not gonna believe it is
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: legitimately injured.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: I did it.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 8: I know Seth has broken trust with everybody, so nobody's
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 8: ever gonna believe any injury he ever has again, right,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 8: but if I'm putting money on it, I'm putting a
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 8: money on a no for Kevin Nolan's and a know
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 8: for Seth Brolins. I mean, Seth Rollins was literally in
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 8: New York today on first Take in studio, So if
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 8: he's gonna be in there at the Rumble or anything,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 8: he had to have been on like the first thing
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 8: smoking out this country after he was on First Take
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 8: in New York this morning.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 3: Else, I know, I know like he can he can
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 3: get a red eye or you know, yeah.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 6: The words yet, Dre, what's your final four, final two
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 6: and your winner.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: H final four?
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna say Ron Breaker, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, mh shit,
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 8: I really want to say, ob Femi. I think he
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 8: needs to have a very strong debut to make him
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 8: seem like the big deal that they're hyping him up for.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 8: There is obviously the Brock Lesner and Gunter factor of it.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: I think those two similar to how I said in
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 8: the Women's Rumble about I guess it was going to
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 8: take each other out in the women's rumble, take each.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 6: Other out somebody else?
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 8: No, no, I no, I don't know if I said
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 8: anybody was gonna if I thought anybody would take each
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 8: other out or cancel each other out and the women's rumble,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 8: But in this men's rumble, I do think Gunter and
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 8: Lesner might cancel each other out in this match to
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 8: set up the WrestleMania. If they're both in it, then
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 8: we gotta get some sort of we might have to
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 8: get some sort of face to face confrontation, and I
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 8: could see one eliminating the other or them two eliminating
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 8: each other to set up the few moving forwards. So
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna go Roman, Cody, bron Breaker, and Obafemi with
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 8: my final two being Roman and bron Breaker.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna I'm still going with Roman reigns to win.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 8: I know bron it seems like he's on his way,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 8: and it definitely it feels like the machine has gotten
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 8: behind bron Breaker.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 3: And it seems like he's like, just see the issue
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: I have with bron Breaker right now.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 8: And it kind of stems from what they did this
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 8: past Monday on Raw, where they had the whole Vision
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 8: in the room and they said we're all in, so
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 8: we all need to come together and agree bron Breaker's
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 8: gonna win mm hmm, and that it's basically a whole
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 8: collective vision effort to get bron Breaker to win the rumble.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: I have a question now, Paul Hamon. Paul Hamon said
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: he alluded to having some surprise right and then and
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: then and then brock Lesner called Pat McAfee and told
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: him he was in the rumble. What was was brock
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: Lesnar supposed to be the surprise?
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 3: I think so, wait, did he called?
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 8: Did brock Lesson called Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 8: show or did that happen?
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: It was on the Pat McAfee show today.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's today, but it was this
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: week he called in and declared for the rumble.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because I think Paul Haman said he had a surprise.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 8: Paul Hayman was on First Take yesterday from Saudi Arabia.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 8: I think it was yesterday. He was on First Take yesterday.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 8: I think he mentioned that. But yeah, no, no, you fine.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 8: I think he mentioned that there could be, like, you know,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 8: he had his four and a possible surprise other person.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 8: So I think that person is brock Lessner that they're
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 8: talking about. But I don't think brock Lessner is gonna
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 8: fall in line the way Paul Hayman thinks not in
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 8: the interest of getting bron Breaker the win. Brock Lesson
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 8: might come in there and you know, maybe help out
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 8: a little bit and wipe some people out, But at
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 8: some point brock Lesson is gonna go for brock Lessner.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 8: He ain't about to make it He's not gonna put
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 8: himself behind bron Breaker just because Paul Hayman wants it.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 8: Fuck no that' that's not brock Lesler's character at all.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: So I don't know who was a fifth surprise.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 8: Another surprise person could be unless the vision's about to
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 8: get a fifth member.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 8: So but like I said, but back to the point
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 8: I was making about bron Breaker, and I think this
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 8: current push.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: That he has.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 8: The only shure I have with it, because, like I said,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 8: it feels like the machine has gotten behind him and
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 8: he's like on his way to the top. But it
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 8: feels like he's on the bus, but he ain't dropped.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 8: He's not driving the bus, if that makes any sense.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 8: It feels like he's a passenger on his own train
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 8: to the top, as opposed to being the actual conductor
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 8: and being the driving force behind his own push to
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 8: the top. Like when brock Lesler came in and he
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 8: you know, had that rocket shit strapped to him to
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 8: the top. Yes, Paul Haman was this guy right next
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 8: to him, but brock Lesler was the driving force behind
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 8: his push. Brock Lesler was the one making it happen.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 8: He was the one out there beating muffucks down left
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 8: and right. You know, he was the one that we
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 8: were invested in bron Breaker. They've been doing this thing
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 8: where they're keeping him off TV, suppressed, Like it's almost like.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: A little level of suppression where it's like.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 8: They don't want to overexpose him too much, not saying
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 8: that there's anything wrong with him, and that's why they're
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 8: doing it, but like they're deliberately doing this thing of.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 3: Dragging out his.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 8: Actual actions, you know what I'm saying, Like he hasn't
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 8: had a he hasn't had a singles match in a while.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 8: He's been bickering with Adam Pearson, like said Adam Pears
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 8: suspended him, kicked him out, said don't do this yet,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 8: out of here, yet, out of this, And it seems
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 8: like they're just kind of dragging out this thing of
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 8: ron Breaker actually doing something to make to make himself
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 8: the driving force behind his own push. And yet despite it,
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 8: he's still being pushed. So that's why I can't quite
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 8: fully get behind it happening for him just yet. I
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 8: do still think he's probably going to be in a
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 8: title match at Russell Media.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: I just don't think it's gonna happen by him.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 8: Through him winning the Royal Rumble. He'll probably be the
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 8: Elimination Chamber winner this year, but the Royal Rumble winner,
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 8: I think it's going to be Roman Reigns.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 6: All right, Doyle, what's your your four, your two and
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 6: your one?
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: Well, let's I want to go back to the lessener
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: for a second. I think I think, yes, Draken touched
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: on it. I think one chance, uh he turns on
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: the visions at uh at roy Rumble. What are we
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: talking about? However, I think that sets up a brock
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: ron WrestleMania match. If you need, Brock is a face.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: And then it sets up Brock Gunther at Smerslam in Minneapolis,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: Brock's hometown, and that's probably Lesler's retirement match and keeps
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: gum through retiring folks. Anyway, Okay, so I did a
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: I did a iron man. I just said James there
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: just because he's not gonna win, he's not gonna be
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: in the final four, but they're gonna give him something
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: big because he's a he won last year. I think
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: over Femi gets the Diesel spot. I think he comes
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: in and Eliminade five, six, seven, eight people. But my
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: final war very similar to Dray. I got Braun, Roman, Cody,
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: and Brock, and maybe that's where Brock turns on Braun.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think Roman went in also. It
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: just I just couldn't. I couldn't think of anyone else
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: that made sense except for one person. This is my
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: dark Horst person, and I think we've set it enough
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: about Roman winning. So I think there's a world where
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: the rumble winner and the Elimination Chamber winner, And if
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: they don't do it like this, I hope they do
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: it like this sometime, if not this year or next year,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: some other year, I want the rumble winner in the
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: Elimination Chamber winner to declare for the same person. So
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: I think there's a world where Jacob Fattou wins laya
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: Rumble and Cody wins the Elimination Chamanbag and they both
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: declare for Drew, and that frees up who's the other
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: champion of the Punker to do something else. I don't
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: know what else, but they don't. They don't. It's not
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: beholden to the winner of something right, they can do
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: anything else. I think I can't think of another way
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: to get Fattu, Cody, and Drew in the title match
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: all together unless they both win their respective chamber and
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: the Rumble and then they both declare for drud Right.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen this year, I hope it happened sometime.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a great drama if if
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you got the rumble winner and the elimination
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: chamber winner in the rig and the GM is like,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: all right, it's going long enough, you have to declare
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: who you're facing and they both say the same thing.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: I think that would be good, and I think this
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: is an opportunity to do that. I can't think of
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: any other way to get the three of those guys
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: in a title magic Mania.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 11: If that doesn't happen, now, is it gonna happen like that?
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 11: Probably not, as they're going to find some other way
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 11: to make it happen. Probably, But I think that would
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 11: be a lot of fun if that happened.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, that's very inspired booking.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 8: That would make it much more interesting versus them doing
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 8: what they typically always do, which is you guys keep
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 8: fighting each other all the time, so damn it, we're
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 8: sick of y'all y'all go sell it this this once
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 8: and for all, Trouble threat Batch.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: I can't say Cody winning the Rumble again. So I
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: think that's happened. Yeah, I think I think is a
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: legit like is one of the three or four people
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: that could legitimately win the thing.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And I could definitely see brock Lesnar turning on
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 8: the Vision in the Rumble like they seem like they
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 8: they show up at some point all five of them
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 8: are in the ring and they're working together pretty well
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 8: and wiping out people, and then brock Lesner just goes
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 8: b smode and starts wiping out the Vision where he
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 8: basically he eliminates Austin Theory, he eliminates Logan Paul, he
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 8: eliminates Bronson Reid, and then bron Breaker eliminates brock Lesner.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to talk about for sure.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah I have.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: But I think I think they're going with those two
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: at Mania. I think that's the Manium match.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 8: That, you know what, that's a way to drag out
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 8: the the postpone the Gun to brock Lesnar match if
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 8: they are determined to have Gun to.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: Be right and then and SummerSlam is in it. Was
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: in Minneapolis if it's still there in the summer, which.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm I'm also in the agreement that SummerSlam will
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 8: probably be brock Less's last match. I still personally want
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 8: his last opponent to be Ober Fammy, but they are
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 8: probably going to go with the safe money thing and
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 8: fucking Gunter, which why is why I'm the career killer
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 8: thing kind of annoys me because.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you're gonna be quite happy because I
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: think I think is gonna have a great showing.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 8: H Yeah, I think, Yeah, I believe he's gonna have
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 8: a very I think ob fami, if they're gonna give
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 8: him anything, he will probably get the most eliminations.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, big that Diesel spot, Orkane spot, if you will.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I don't know.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 8: To me, at some point, just having everybody's last match
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 8: being against the same guy to me gets boring at
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 8: some point, and I think for me personally, I think
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 8: I'm kind of already at that point where it's like
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 8: somebody's last match, Oh god again, it's going through again, Like, yes,
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 8: the matches are going to be they're not gonna suck,
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 8: but damn does everybody's last match gotta be with this
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 8: against the same motherfucker.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 6: My last four. I have Roman, Cody, Braun, and Orton.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 6: I have Orton. Yeah, Man, Orton's getting up there, and
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 6: he hasn't been in the Royal Rumbles since twenty twenty two.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 3: Just believe it or not, he's not even declared.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's declared, isn't he?
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: I would have put it. I didn't even I didn't
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: even is it declared?
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah the website, his name is not on the list.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 6: As of yesterday. He announced on Get Up, which is
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 6: an American sports talk morning television in program hosted by
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 6: Mike Greenberg the air.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah, my list of confirmed people. So
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: I must have thought he was confirmed for some reason.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, I get Up.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 6: Then I would like I would love to see you know,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 6: Orton and Drew you know, but I don't. I don't
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 6: think that's gonna happen. I mean, I definitely see him
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 6: in the final four, but I don't see him as
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 6: the final two. And for the final two, I have
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 6: it down to to Roman and Braun, And I know
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 6: that sounds very odd to very odd people to be
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 6: down to the you know, final two, two guys who
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 6: really don't have any beef with each other. But that
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 6: was my final two, right, But that also they they
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 6: don't need to have people with a story together or
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 6: any kind of beef. That's not how it. You know,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 6: you used to always be like maybe the last guy
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 6: from Raw and the last guy from SmackDown. You know,
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 6: that's always how they I guess they would try to
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 6: get it. But yeah, and when it comes down to
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 6: who wins this, I mean I could see them even
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 6: letting Roman come out at number thirty. But I just
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 6: think was such the push that they've been giving Brawn.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 6: You know, it could go either way, but either way,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 6: he's getting into that world title picture at WrestleMania. I
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 6: know he went against Punk and lost, but they're gonna
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 6: run it back. And I've said that before the first
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 6: time when they went against each other, I said, you
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 6: know what, he's probably gonna lose this and they're gonna
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 6: run it back again later. And I think running that
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 6: back is at WrestleMania. The momentum he's been having being
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 6: I guess what feels like to be the leader of
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 6: the Vision, you know, now that Seth is gone, I
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 6: just I don't know, I just feel like with this momentum,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 6: it would be a smart move to just keep it
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 6: going and put him in that world titled with punk
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 6: again and you know, do it at WrestleMania.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 8: See, is he the leader of the Vision or is
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 8: he Paul Hayman's number one chosen guy? Yeah, and I'm
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 8: the Vision as it currently exists, isn't really a wrestler
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 8: led faction.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 3: It's really Paul Haman led faction with his chosen guys.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 8: And then and just that bron is currently his number one,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 8: his top chosen guy right now.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 3: And interview that even an interview that.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 8: Hayman, even in an interview that Haymen did on first take,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 8: that was kind of how he spelled it out because obviously,
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 8: you know, Paul Hamen ain't breaking k fape for no
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 8: goddamn body. So he did that whole interview on first
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 8: take in Kfabe and he was talking about how, you know,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 8: this is the vision, this is our plan as of
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 8: right now. There will come a time for you know,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 8: he said, there will come a time for Bronson Breed,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 8: there will come a time for Logan, Paul, there will
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 8: come a time for Austin theory. But right now, the
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 8: time is for bron Breaker and this is the vision,
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 8: and this is he spoke as if like he's the
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 8: head coach laying out the plan and all the other
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 8: guys are the players executing it. So again kind of
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 8: feeds into the whole my old thing about you know,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 8: bron Breaker being a passenger on his own train, right.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and well you know you might throw a monkey
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: rent in all everything. And when you said it earlier
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: that it changed in the last couple of years, right
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: around this time, one of the one of the world
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: titles changes. Yeah, and what if it's felt Yeah, I mean,
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: he's really the only one that even makes sense, to
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah, if he loves at the Chamber,
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: whoever he's, whoever he ends up wrestling, I'm sure he'll
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: have If he doesn't have a match up the Rumble,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: he'll most likely have one, I would think next Grave review.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's it gonna be. I don't know. Maybe
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: that's why they do finn I don't know, I don't
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just running out there. I just remember I just
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: I put a pin in way and saying like it
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: feels like they do a title change, and I've been
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: thinking like when or who would it even be Maybe it's.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I I'm really excited for the
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 6: Rumble in general, because you know, this is a lot
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 6: of stories that can begin. You know, a lot of
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 6: feuds can be tested here. You know, some legends coming back,
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 6: a lot of star p Dude, like, I'm excited. I
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 6: want to see Oba Feming the ring with brock Lesnar.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 6: I'm excited to see that. I'm excited to see Oba
