- 2:15Speaker 3: get that.
- 2:15Speaker 2: We'll get that later on in this segment. Real quick,
- 2:19Speaker 2: big news coming from WWE. It's big. It is WWE.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It's terrible.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Theyre p well, it depends on how you look at it.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Their pl We'll get the summer sign but they're pls.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Their premium live events will be going to ESPN. Disney
- 2:34Speaker 1: is paying one point six billion dollars for five years
- 2:37Speaker 1: to have WWE streaming rights.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The deal will.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Start in twenty twenty six. In April twenty twenty six. First, okay,
- 2:45Speaker 1: the monthly cost will rise to at least twenty nine
- 2:47Speaker 1: to ninety nine per month. But if you do have
- 2:50Speaker 1: a cable service, that uh, that is free to watch.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's on your cable service.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Yes, those services include YouTube, TV, Hulu Plus, Comcast, et cetera.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Some w w WWE programming will play on ESPN for free.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Yeah, like some select pls will be I guess, will
- 3:06Speaker 3: be on their linear channel. But it's just I guess
- 3:09Speaker 3: the smaller one.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I was gonna say. It may be like something maybe
- 3:13Speaker 2: maybe like their NXC takeovers.
- 3:15Speaker 3: I don't NXT so far is not part of this deal. Wow,
- 3:19Speaker 3: So we don't know where their events are going yet.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Oh wow. Oh well, it may just stay on Peacock.
- 3:24Speaker 3: It could because I know Peacock still has SmackDown like
- 3:27Speaker 3: replaces SmackDown for the next five years. I guess the
- 3:29Speaker 3: Saturday It's main event two, so.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Like Saturday night's main event won't go to ESPN. No,
- 3:35Speaker 1: that will stay with Peacock, NBC, NBC.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Universal, only p on the ESPN. That's it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Okay, so only the ples are going on ESPN.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Yep. So like so you're getting charge triple amount for
- 3:46Speaker 3: less sort of yes.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Now, like I said, if you do have a cable
- 3:52Speaker 1: service of some type that has ESPN on it, you
- 3:56Speaker 1: do get it for free. But I will say, as
- 3:58Speaker 1: somebody who does have YouTube TV, that's like.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Eighty eight dollars a month.
- 4:02Speaker 3: That's a lot.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Yeah, But I also I have it for like multiple
- 4:05Speaker 1: different reasons, like to just watch like different sports and stuff.
- 4:08Speaker 2: And yeah, so that that's why I keep it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Plus also I watch like Monday Night Roll and uh
- 4:13Speaker 1: well not not that's on Netflix, smack Down, n XT aw,
- 4:17Speaker 1: all of them are on there, so I don't have
- 4:18Speaker 1: to kind of got everything in one spot.
- 4:20Speaker 3: For me, I'm not a fan.
- 4:23Speaker 2: I'm not either, Like I don't.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Watch sports outside of wrestling, if you can consider wrestling
- 4:28Speaker 3: sport that sports entertainment. And it's like on p or Peacock.
- 4:32Speaker 3: You know, it was like it started out as five bucks.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Now it's like eight bucks on the bottom tier less
- 4:37Speaker 3: than what WWIL was. Plus you got Peacock's whole library
- 4:39Speaker 3: of movies and TV shows. Now we're going to go
- 4:42Speaker 3: over to ESPN if you don't already have EXSSDESPN. You
- 4:44Speaker 3: got paid thirty bucks only for pls.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and that's the thing. Like, that's that's
- 4:50Speaker 1: where my problem lies with this. I understand some people
- 4:53Speaker 1: are they're they're pushing the whole pl thing, they're pushing
- 4:59Speaker 1: the cable service thing.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I understand that they're.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Like, well, why don't they lead in with that because
- 5:04Speaker 1: not everybody has cable? Yeah, okay, I like, I'm actually
- 5:08Speaker 1: probably one of the rare few around.
- 5:11Speaker 2: My age that has something like this.
- 5:14Speaker 3: We actually do still have cable because it's part of
- 5:16Speaker 3: the package with the internet and phone.
- 5:18Speaker 1: See I mean, but also y'all have probably had that
- 5:21Speaker 1: saying you've probably been the same company for for a
- 5:23Speaker 1: long time.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Right, yes, but we did cut the cord cable wise
- 5:27Speaker 3: and just had internet and phone for a bit. Then
- 5:29Speaker 3: they're like, hey, you can get like a discount if
- 5:31Speaker 3: you had your cable on there too. I think, okay, sure,
- 5:32Speaker 3: why not?
- 5:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I guess yeah.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You know, but like that's the thing to me, like,
- 5:38Speaker 1: if you don't have either one of those, you're going
- 5:40Speaker 1: to be paying at least thirty bucks. Yeah, and I'm
- 5:44Speaker 1: sorry in this current climate that we call an economy
- 5:49Speaker 1: that is not no, no, I'm good, I'm good on that.
- 5:52Speaker 3: There are people on lines like you know, back in
- 5:54Speaker 3: like the nineties or whatever, we were paying like fifty
- 5:56Speaker 3: bucks or paperies. Well, first of all, it's not the
- 5:58Speaker 3: nineties anymore, and go ahead. Secondly, not only do we
- 6:02Speaker 3: have to pay for ESPN, we have to pay for
- 6:04Speaker 3: Netflix for raw. We also have to have cable if
- 6:07Speaker 3: we want to watch SmackDown, and well CW's free cable.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Still.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like we had to have all these different
- 6:12Speaker 3: platforms just to watch it all. Yeah, when it used
- 6:15Speaker 3: to all kind of be in a one spot to
- 6:17Speaker 3: being more than what the pay per view was.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And here's the thing.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Also, back in the day, not all pay per views
- 6:23Speaker 1: are fifty bucks. Yeah, Like I remember the very first
- 6:26Speaker 1: pay per view we ever ordered in our house. I
- 6:29Speaker 1: remember I aggravated my parents to no end for this
- 6:33Speaker 1: because all other pay per views I had watched, I'd
- 6:34Speaker 1: watched all like DVDs that like my cousins had or
- 6:36Speaker 1: my mom and dad went and bought for me. Was
- 6:40Speaker 1: two thousand and three Armageddon, I think is the one
- 6:43Speaker 1: where yeah, yeah, it was two thousand and three Armageddon
- 6:45Speaker 1: because it was when Goldberg was still he was World
- 6:47Speaker 1: Heavyweight champion and I think he lost it on that
- 6:49Speaker 1: show to Triple H. So I think that's yeah, yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 1: and that's that's when Evolution like had all of the
- 6:55Speaker 1: gold and everything. That was the very first pay per
- 6:57Speaker 1: view we ordered. If memory serves me correct, I think
- 7:00Speaker 1: that pay per view was between ten to twenty dollars.
- 7:05Speaker 1: It was not very much because it's considered a B
- 7:08Speaker 1: level pay per view. Yeah, it wasn't WrestleMania or or
- 7:12Speaker 1: the Royal Room. It wasn't what was then the Big Four.
- 7:16Speaker 1: You know, of course WrestleMania. Once it gets around to that,
- 7:19Speaker 1: we're gonna be showing out fifty bucks just to watch WrestleMania.
- 7:23Speaker 1: And eventually it did get to the point in what
- 7:26Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, if you did not have the WWE network,
- 7:30Speaker 1: you were paying fifty bucks a month for.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Each pay per view.
- 7:33Speaker 3: It's crazy that people did that when you had the
- 7:35Speaker 3: network right there for ten bucks. Yeah, technically people can
- 7:40Speaker 3: still do the technically pay per view is still a thing.
- 7:42Speaker 3: They still have them on pay per view. I don't
- 7:44Speaker 3: know what people do, but.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's I don't. I don't know if anybody.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody that I know who orders
- 7:50Speaker 2: WWE pay per views.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Now I know people who get like aw pay per
- 7:53Speaker 1: views and other promotions because they still go off of
- 7:56Speaker 1: that business model, but not WWE. But no, I don't.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of this. I don't agree with it.
- 8:03Speaker 3: My biggest issue is that, Okay, so at its rought WWE.
- 8:06Speaker 3: It's an American company. Yeah, why can the American company
- 8:10Speaker 3: not cater to the American market? Because you go to Europe,
- 8:13Speaker 3: everything's on Netflix. Go everywhere else, everything is on Netflix.
- 8:16Speaker 3: We have to have like three different stream reservices plus cable.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And on top of that, like, wasn't it let me think,
- 8:23Speaker 1: let me think, wasn't up until here recently that in
- 8:26Speaker 1: like the UK, the WWE network was still a thing.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Technically there are a few countries that still have the.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Network, but which is a little crazy.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only a handful, but it's because of like
- 8:37Speaker 3: old contracts. But once those contracts expired, they'll go to Netflix.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'll just roll over on to the Netflix.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense. But yeah, we man, we had
- 8:47Speaker 1: it all.
- 8:48Speaker 2: We had. We had nine ninety nine pay per views
- 8:50Speaker 2: a month.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Five dollars foot longs.
- 8:52Speaker 1: We had five dollars foot longs, one dollar chickens, twenty
- 8:55Speaker 1: four hour walmarts.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Yeah, what has happened anyway? Summer Slam pay per view
- 9:01Speaker 2: since we peel.
- 9:02Speaker 3: You know, you know I'm gonna say everyone boycott it.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Use a vp on on your Netflix. Yeah, there you go,
- 9:08Speaker 3: show them show. The Man Show is not what we want.
- 9:11Speaker 2: To go for it.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Uh.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I do have a VPN myself.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a lot of people that have
- 9:18Speaker 1: VPNs these days.
- 9:19Speaker 3: So I was looking up some free ones apparently, like
- 9:22Speaker 3: Proton's a good free one.
- 9:23Speaker 2: So yeah, do what you want, do what you want
- 9:25Speaker 2: with that information.
- 9:27Speaker 1: So Summer Slam, all right, the Beggar List the yea, Yes,
- 9:33Speaker 1: it was the beastliest. We're getting to that actually quick.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Before we get to that. Before we get to that,
- 9:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them up there, punkies. Yeah, I'm will
- 9:42Speaker 1: give two quick updates before we dive into Summer Slam,
- 9:45Speaker 1: and then after that, lesnar Real.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Quick an update on the g one climax.
- 9:51Speaker 1: As far as a block goes, we've already got some

- 11:02Speaker 1: defeated some team on their Yeah, I can't remember their name.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I think they were they looked like they looked like
- 11:11Speaker 1: completely max. I think they looked like complete and utter jobbers. Yeah, yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 1: I was not impressed with their work.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I hope I hope AW doesn't bring them back. Yeah,
- 11:22Speaker 2: I hope they don't.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Brodido advances to the finals and we'll face FTR. That
- 11:27Speaker 1: match has not been announced yet at the time.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Of this recording. It maybe this week. I know that
- 11:32Speaker 2: Forbidden Door. Yeah, Forbidden Door.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Well, I think the I don't know if the finals
- 11:37Speaker 1: are at Forbidden Door or the championship match for Door.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So because I looked up online, it didn't say nothing
- 11:44Speaker 1: about the finals being at Forbidden Door. So it's it's
- 11:47Speaker 1: either gonna be on Dynamite or Collision.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, we'll get to that. Shifting gears what
- 11:53Speaker 2: we were going to do Summer Slam.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Dave Meltzer gave the Night Too main event, the street
- 11:59Speaker 1: Fight between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed
- 12:03Speaker 1: WWE Championship, a five star ratings.
- 12:07Speaker 2: WWE's fourth five star this year.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That's if you know how Dave Meltzer is and how
- 12:12Speaker 1: like apprehensive he is to give WWE a five star match.
- 12:16Speaker 2: You know it was good.
- 12:17Speaker 3: It was a good match.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I have not heard the match itself. Yeah, I have
- 12:23Speaker 1: not heard a bad thing about.
- 12:25Speaker 3: It was John Cena's best match since twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Are you talking about the one he had with the
- 12:32Speaker 2: AJ Styles?
- 12:34Speaker 3: I think that was AJ Styles probably that one, yeah, and.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Then probably before that was what maybe punk at Money
- 12:40Speaker 2: in the Bank twenty eleven.
- 12:42Speaker 3: That was a five star.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was a legitimate five star. But like
- 12:46Speaker 2: we're sometimes.
- 12:47Speaker 1: We agree with Meltzer on his five star ratings. Sometimes
- 12:50Speaker 1: we don't agree with him. Sometimes we like to give
- 12:51Speaker 1: certain matches our own five star rating.
- 12:53Speaker 3: That's right. I would have gave this one if I mean,
- 12:56Speaker 3: not this next one? The other one? What?
- 12:58Speaker 2: What other one? Uh?
- 12:59Speaker 3: Punk?
- 13:00Speaker 2: Oh? Okay.
- 13:02Speaker 1: His second highest rating was a four oh okay was
- 13:04Speaker 1: a four point seventy five star for the Tag Team
- 13:06Speaker 1: TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Championship in which
- 13:10Speaker 1: the Wyatt Six retained, which was also one Night to
- 13:14Speaker 1: while the Night one main event between Dounter and c
- 13:16Speaker 1: HM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship received four point
- 13:20Speaker 1: five stars.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Brian Alvarez, you know Meltzer's tag team partner, if you will,
- 13:24Speaker 3: he said it was atrocious. What yeah, I thought the
- 13:29Speaker 3: match was great. What yeah?
- 13:32Speaker 1: I didn't even watch it, and I'm you know, I'm
- 13:35Speaker 1: gonna trust like your your judgment on this and other
- 13:37Speaker 1: people's judgment on this, because it seemed like to me.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I didn't get a chance to watch SummerSlam.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I had a lot of stuff going on last week.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I was getting updates on it. Josh typically will let
- 13:48Speaker 1: Jason and I know what's going on. I had some
- 13:51Speaker 1: other prior arrangements that I had to deal with, not
- 13:54Speaker 1: to deal with, but I had to go visit some
- 13:56Speaker 1: people and you know, go do other things.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I would say, I would say at least this one
- 14:00Speaker 3: and the Cody John match, they're both around thirty minutes too.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Okay, Well that makes sense. Yeah.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Interesting fact about Cmpunk's title win, he is now the
- 14:10Speaker 1: only wrestler to hold wwwe's Old and New World Heavyweight Championships.
- 14:15Speaker 1: So the Ruthless Ruthless Aggression Era one that existed from
- 14:18Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty thirteen and was represented by the
- 14:22Speaker 1: Classic Big Gold Belt and the current that was introduced
- 14:26Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Despite having the exact same name
- 14:29Speaker 1: and similar appearance, they are in fact two different titles.
- 14:32Speaker 1: They also make Punk. This also makes Punk the only
- 14:34Speaker 1: wrestler to have held the Ring of Honor World Championship,
- 14:37Speaker 1: the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, albeit under.
- 14:40Speaker 2: WWE, the AE excuse me, the AEW.
- 14:43Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Championship, and both of ww's previous, previous.
- 14:48Speaker 2: And current World Heavyweight Championships.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Yeah, in case you don't know, CM, Punk is not
- 14:55Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Champion now.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Seth Rowlins came out and he catched on them.
- 14:59Speaker 3: I predicted this, Yeah, and how he did it was
- 15:01Speaker 3: pretty great too. He came You didn't see it, did
- 15:04Speaker 3: I did?
- 15:04Speaker 2: I did see that.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I saw that where he walked out and he was
- 15:07Speaker 1: kind of he was, you know, I'm gonna get you
- 15:08Speaker 1: and everything that turned around and then just dropped the crutches.
- 15:13Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty brilliant.
- 15:14Speaker 3: The rules of the century.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I mean, we were kind of when when he did
- 15:18Speaker 1: get injured, we were kind of speculating.
- 15:19Speaker 2: A little bit this work. Maybe this is the work. Yeah,
- 15:27Speaker 2: it could have very well could have been. But yeah no,
- 15:29Speaker 2: as by all accounts SummerSlam itself, the show was fantastic,
- 15:36Speaker 2: great show, great atmosphere, great matches. I mean I was.
- 15:41Speaker 2: I Like I said, I didn't get a chance to
- 15:43Speaker 2: watch it.
- 15:43Speaker 1: But we were sitting at a restaurant that night before
- 15:47Speaker 1: we headed back to here in Charleston, West Virginia, and
- 15:52Speaker 1: I was following it on my phone.
- 15:53Speaker 2: I didn't want to, we were in the restaurant.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I didn't want to have the match pulled up and
- 15:57Speaker 1: playing out loud and and creating a distraction for every
- 16:00Speaker 1: But I'm following along, and like every every wrestling page
- 16:04Speaker 1: that I follow on Facebook, One Blue Sky, Instagram, whatever
- 16:10Speaker 1: social media platform I was on, all of them were
- 16:13Speaker 1: talking about how great the match was and how amazing
- 16:15Speaker 1: it was. So but with that, there was something that
- 16:21Speaker 1: happened right after the match.
- 16:23Speaker 2: That happened what is it?
- 16:25Speaker 3: Second Night?
- 16:25Speaker 1: The second night, the main event, the second night after
- 16:28Speaker 1: Cuddy Roads and John Cena. Before I get to this note,
- 16:32Speaker 1: these are all allegations and everyone is innocent to proven
- 16:35Speaker 1: guilty in a court of law. But this next part
- 16:39Speaker 1: does involve the Janelle Grant sex trafficking lawsuit and the
- 16:42Speaker 1: return of Lesnar. At the end of SummerSlam, after Cody
- 16:46Speaker 1: Roads and John Cena's main event match, Rock Lesner made
- 16:49Speaker 1: his return to WWE. This was a shock too many
- 16:53Speaker 1: people due to the fact that on January thirty first
- 16:55Speaker 1: of this year, Janelle Grant and her team filed an
- 16:59Speaker 1: amendment to band on their criminal complaint.
- 17:02Speaker 2: With Vince McMahon and WWE.
- 17:05Speaker 1: This amendment de anonymized names from the original criminal complaint
- 17:10Speaker 1: before people's names were left anonymous in the lawsuit. This
- 17:16Speaker 1: is where brock Lesner's name is shown, along with others
- 17:19Speaker 1: such as Nick Con, Stephanie McMahon, Brad Blum, Brian Nurse,
- 17:23Speaker 1: Michael Hayes, among others. This does not implicate them for
- 17:27Speaker 1: any criminal activity though, again, Vince McMahon and WWE are
- 17:31Speaker 1: the defendants in this case, not Nick Con, Brocklsner, or
- 17:36Speaker 1: anyone else. Brock was named in this lawsuit because Janelle
- 17:40Speaker 1: Grant was allegedly used as a bargaining chip between himself
- 17:45Speaker 1: and WWE during his contract negotiations.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Again allegedly.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Just to bring you up to date, the Grant lawsuit
- 17:56Speaker 1: filed against w W Vince, Vince McMahon, and John Warneitis
- 18:00Speaker 1: alleged's sexual assault, trafficking, and physical abuse by McMahon towards
- 18:05Speaker 1: Grant during her employment with WWE. The lawsuit also seeks
- 18:09Speaker 1: to void non disclosure agreements related to the alleged conduct.
- 18:14Speaker 1: The initial lawsuit was filed on January twenty fifth, twenty
- 18:17Speaker 1: twenty four, in the United States District Court for the
- 18:20Speaker 1: District of Connecticut. The last big update from this case
- 18:25Speaker 1: came in May of this year, where John Laurnaiis and
- 18:28Speaker 1: Janelle Grant settled and he agreed to cooperate with the prosecution.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Laurnaiis is no longer a defendant in this case. It
- 18:35Speaker 1: is now only Vincementman and WWE. Note Lesner is not
- 18:40Speaker 1: a defendant in this case. He is just named in
- 18:43Speaker 1: the suit itself. With that being said, Dave Meltzer of
- 18:48Speaker 1: the Wrestling Observer newsleater letter said that ww's legal team
- 18:52Speaker 1: cleared Lesner.
- 18:53Speaker 2: To come back.
- 18:54Speaker 1: He also stated that the reason WWE did not hold
- 18:56Speaker 1: a press conference like previous shows was due to Lessner's return.
- 19:03Speaker 1: On the post show panel, Triple H stated that in
- 19:06Speaker 1: a way, this was John Cenna's decision, where they were
- 19:09Speaker 1: setting up everything for his last run in WWE. But
- 19:13Speaker 1: on this past week of Monday Night Rawl, Michael Coles
- 19:16Speaker 1: stated that he spoke with Triple H and Nick Con
- 19:19Speaker 1: about Lesner's return. Quote Earlier today, I had the opportunity
- 19:24Speaker 1: to sit down with WWEWWE president Nick Con and WWE's
- 19:29Speaker 1: chief content officer, Paul Triple H Levec, and I asked
- 19:33Speaker 1: them a simple question, when was it determined that brock
- 19:36Speaker 1: Lesner would return to WWE.
- 19:38Speaker 2: And they told me.
- 19:40Speaker 1: They told me they reached out to Brock a number
- 19:42Speaker 1: of weeks ago and said, we believe it's time for
- 19:44Speaker 1: you to come home. Brock Lesner said, let's do it,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and here we are. End quote. Janelle Grant's lawyers did
- 19:51Speaker 1: release a statement about all of this quote. For far
- 19:55Speaker 1: too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Instead of writing this wrong, WWE has done nothing to
- 20:03Speaker 1: ensure those responsible are held accountable. This attempt to sweep
- 20:07Speaker 1: misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to
- 20:11Speaker 1: the full set of facts, including those about mister Lesner,
- 20:14Speaker 1: coming out in a court of law where they belong.
- 20:17Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel
- 20:21Speaker 1: Grant's updated complaint, which outlines in detail the abuse she
- 20:26Speaker 1: endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE end quote.
- 20:31Speaker 1: I would like to reiterate everyone is innocent until proven
- 20:34Speaker 1: guilty in a court of law. These are allegations at
- 20:37Speaker 1: the time of this recording. You can go back and
- 20:40Speaker 1: read everything that has been filed to see for yourself.
- 20:43Speaker 1: The Janail Grant lawsuit is still ongoing. Now let's go
- 20:48Speaker 1: over to one this day in wrestling history. August tenth,
- 21:03Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, Big Van Vader defeated Ricky Choshu at
- 21:07Speaker 1: an NJPW event in Tokyo, Japan to win the IWGP
- 21:11Speaker 1: Heavyweight Championship. He would go on to hold the belt
- 21:14Speaker 1: for three hundred and seventy four days. August tenth, nineteen
- 21:20Speaker 1: ninety six, the recently formed New World for Life made
- 21:26Speaker 1: their presence felt at WCW Hogwilde, where Hollywood HAULK Cogan
- 21:31Speaker 1: no relation defeated The Giant for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
- 21:36Speaker 1: The outsider Scott Hall and Kevin ash Faced Sting and
- 21:39Speaker 1: Lex Luger Harlem Heat squared off against the Steiner brothers
- 21:43Speaker 1: for the WCW tag team titles, and Rick Flair defended
- 21:46Speaker 1: the US title against Eddie Guerrero. Yes August tenth, two
- 21:53Speaker 1: thousand and eight, Samoa Joe defeated Booker T in a
- 21:56Speaker 1: steelcage weapons match to retain the TEA World Heavyweight Championship
- 22:02Speaker 1: at Hard Justice in Trenton, New Jersey. The event also
- 22:06Speaker 1: marked the beginning of a return angle for Jeff Jarrett
- 22:09Speaker 1: j WFJA R E DOUBLET, who had not been active
- 22:13Speaker 1: in the company for fifteen months.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Now, let's go.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Ahead and take a quick break, and when we come back,
- 22:18Speaker 1: we got our top five current wrestlers in the main event.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Stay time.
- 22:29Speaker 2: It's don for more of the grill Out here Hollywood,
- 22:31Speaker 2: Jeff Betty, Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the Grill Out.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I'm your host, Hollywood, Jeff Betty.
- 22:38Speaker 1: All allegedly, and I'm joined by our reigning and defending
- 22:43Speaker 1: Grill Out Predictions Champion.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Not alleged. That's a fact.
- 22:46Speaker 2: That is a fact. Yeah, Yeah.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I actually gave him the belt before he walked in
- 22:50Speaker 1: the building. I said here, this was sitting in my
- 22:52Speaker 1: car because I don't want it to be like the
- 22:54Speaker 1: last time you.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Won the belt. And just set my car for weeks.
- 22:58Speaker 3: You know what. Also the fact Jason is gonna give
- 23:01Speaker 3: us that list next week.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, at least that's what he's telling us.
- 23:05Speaker 1: He was texting us earlier to and I even asked us, hey,
- 23:08Speaker 1: make sure you remind me to release the list, so
- 23:12Speaker 1: you know, as far as Jason goes, y'all probably should
- 23:14Speaker 1: get on the Facebook page and let Jason know that
- 23:16Speaker 1: he needs to.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Release the list.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Speaking of list, yes, speaking of a list, We're gonna
- 23:21Speaker 1: go ahead and give you our top five current wrestlers.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Now, there isn't too much criteria with this.
- 23:28Speaker 1: As long as they're active or somewhat active these days,
- 23:32Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, as long as they are not
- 23:35Speaker 1: pretty much retired or like they I guess in a way,
- 23:38Speaker 1: like they can't wrestle anymore. So like if there's if
- 23:41Speaker 1: there's a deal like that, so like somebody that is
- 23:43Speaker 1: tech like signed to an extent, like.
- 23:46Speaker 2: If it's an indie wrestler, you know, a certain indie
- 23:48Speaker 2: wrestler that you're like, I'm okay with that. But somebody
- 23:52Speaker 2: that is signed, that is currently wrestling, that is, you know,
- 23:56Speaker 2: doing their thing right now. So we're gonna give our
- 23:58Speaker 2: top five.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Jason did send us a list, a list of his
- 24:03Speaker 1: top five, so we'll just give his Yeah, it's not
- 24:06Speaker 1: the list, but it's a list, not a listers. But
- 24:12Speaker 1: maybe I mean that technically it's the top five, which
- 24:15Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I was a little shocked. I'm full disclosure. There's no
- 24:19Speaker 2: rear ripley on here.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a little shocked by that.
- 24:23Speaker 2: That's true.
- 24:24Speaker 1: He's gonna go go back and listen to this and
- 24:26Speaker 1: he's just gonna like like slap his knee or something
- 24:29Speaker 1: like that. Nabbit, I should have put Yeah, anyway, I
- 24:35Speaker 1: go ahead and give you one. I'll go ahead and
- 24:37Speaker 1: give you Jason and I's first because it's the same,
- 24:39Speaker 1: and then I'll throw it to you, Josh, both Jason
- 24:43Speaker 1: and I.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Our top one is Tony. Now.
- 24:47Speaker 1: The reason why I'm going Tony storm is because she
- 24:51Speaker 1: and A Way has carried the women's division over in
- 24:56Speaker 1: her character work has been fantastic. I cannot tell you.
- 24:59Speaker 1: I I don't know of a like. She's had some
- 25:02Speaker 1: programs that have.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Fizzled out a little bit or kind of lost some
- 25:07Speaker 2: of its steam, but I don't know of a bad.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Program she's had in a while. Yeah, like she's I
- 25:14Speaker 1: don't know, she's just her character work and everything her
- 25:18Speaker 1: She was already a great in ring worker, in n
- 25:20Speaker 1: ring competitor, she was already great with that.
- 25:23Speaker 2: But then you add all of this other stuff.
- 25:24Speaker 1: The timeless Tony Storm, like that, that's gonna be a
- 25:27Speaker 1: gimmick that people are gonna be talking about four years. Yeah,
- 25:30Speaker 1: after she retires, she's always gonna be timeless Tony Storm. So, Tony,
- 25:33Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, number one, we would like
- 25:35Speaker 1: an interview. Yes, okay, number two, just be prepared for
- 25:39Speaker 1: the rest of your days to always be in black
- 25:41Speaker 1: and white and all the pictures.
- 25:44Speaker 3: I think she's okay with that.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I do find it kind of interesting like that.
- 25:48Speaker 1: It doesn't matter the picture she's in, if she's in it,
- 25:51Speaker 1: she's black and white.
- 25:52Speaker 3: You know, semi related to Tony Storm because she's dating him.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Juice Robinson without a beard is weird, very weird.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Very well, it it is because it's been so long
- 26:02Speaker 1: since I have seen him without one. Yeah, because the
- 26:04Speaker 1: first time I saw Juice Robinson was in New Japan
- 26:07Speaker 1: and he didn't have a beard.
- 26:08Speaker 2: But he had like a go tee type that deal
- 26:10Speaker 2: going on. But he had dreads then too, so like
- 26:14Speaker 2: that was a whole thing. But yeah, it is. It
- 26:16Speaker 2: is kind of weird anyway, who's your who's your number one?
- 26:18Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to agree with Tony Storm. I mean,
- 26:20Speaker 3: she's like arguably the best thing going on in women's
- 26:24Speaker 3: wrestling in the world.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I can't really type it.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Well, it was timeless Tony Storm. She's very timeless.
- 26:32Speaker 2: So all three of us have said go with Tony Storm.
- 26:35Speaker 3: It was Oranges.
- 26:37Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I'm not asking questions. I am not asking questions whatsoever.
- 26:41Speaker 1: So all three of us are in agreement that Tony
- 26:43Speaker 1: Storm is the number one right now?
- 26:45Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well not necessarily the number one. Well, actually
- 26:47Speaker 3: that is Jason's number one.
- 26:49Speaker 2: You're you're gonna go with Tony Storm?
- 26:51Speaker 3: Why not?
- 26:51Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we'll go.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go to number two, number two. Now,
- 26:55Speaker 1: this is where it differs. It's different.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Jason.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Jason is CM punk. He went to see him punk
- 27:01Speaker 1: for this. Don't know the reason behind it. This is
- 27:04Speaker 1: just the list that he sent us earlier today.
- 27:06Speaker 2: In fact, just a.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Little bit behind the scenes for all of y'all our
- 27:09Speaker 1: own the grill out unreal. I literally text Jason earlier today.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I Mike Jason released the list and he's like.
- 27:16Speaker 2: What are you talking about.
- 27:17Speaker 3: You're supposed say that on the podcast.
- 27:18Speaker 1: And he's like, no, I need your top five current wrestlers.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, so he yes,
- 27:27Speaker 2: he went with see.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Him Punk, Charles Montgomery, Punk, Yes, Chick Magnet, Punk, Cookie Months,
- 27:33Speaker 3: pep c Phil.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Pepsi, Phil, Yes, Phil Brooks. Listen, there is like that
- 27:38Speaker 1: is one thing mister Punk and I can't agree on.
- 27:42Speaker 2: I do like Pepsi.
- 27:44Speaker 3: My WWE name is John Cena, My actor name is
- 27:46Speaker 3: John Cena. My government name is John Cena.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Solid Oh gosh.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Anyway, My number two is somebody that I have said
- 27:57Speaker 1: numerous times on this podcast is a.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Top ten talent in the world.
- 28:04Speaker 1: He's top ten, but I have him number two here.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I mean still in the top ten, still in the
- 28:11Speaker 1: top ten. He's top five, but he's in the top ten.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Swear Strickland, Yeah yeah, I can't. Actually, before you this
- 28:20Speaker 1: is a little embarrassing. Before you got here, Josh, I
- 28:22Speaker 1: was listening to swear Strickland's a theme song in here.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Were you swerving?
- 28:25Speaker 1: I was, I was, I was swerving, just not while driving, right,
- 28:28Speaker 1: not not while driving, but while in this computer chair.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, who's your number two?
- 28:34Speaker 3: So I'm going to say he fits the criteria because
- 28:38Speaker 3: I don't I don't think he's retired. I think he's
- 28:40Speaker 3: just taking a full time off. Brian Danison, Okay, I mean,
- 28:45Speaker 3: arguably one of the best in the world, even all
- 28:47Speaker 3: the time for some people, absolutely amazing in the ring,
- 28:52Speaker 3: pretty much can't really have a bad match, probably wrestle
- 28:55Speaker 3: a broom and make it a five star. Yeah.
- 28:57Speaker 1: He is really one of those talents that can really, yeah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: can seriously get like a five star match out of
- 29:03Speaker 1: a broomstick.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Like and and then we were talking off the air
- 29:08Speaker 1: about this a little bit. I'm not saying this is
- 29:12Speaker 1: pure speculation, pure speculation at this point.
- 29:16Speaker 2: I think Brian Danielsons eventually going to get the itch
- 29:18Speaker 2: to go back in.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that he is kind of he's a
- 29:23Speaker 2: little he's kind of.
- 29:24Speaker 3: Came back as Snidge and he popped up in rh
- 29:26Speaker 3: or whatever it was.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, so yeah, I just I don't know,
- 29:30Speaker 1: I just I have an inkling. Yeah that he's going
- 29:34Speaker 1: to eventually get the itch to want to come back. Yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 1: so that's that's me anyway, on too, number three, I'm
- 29:42Speaker 1: going to give you Jason's real quick, he says, Will Osprey.
- 29:45Speaker 2: I can't really argue too much with that. Osprey.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Yeah, Osprey is another one of those guys. I don't
- 29:51Speaker 1: he's not in my top five. I'll say that, but yeah,
- 29:55Speaker 1: but I don't. There's Josh over there with the controversial.
- 30:01Speaker 1: We're gonna get some We're gonna get some comments on
- 30:04Speaker 1: that one.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not my top twenty.
- 30:07Speaker 2: No, okay, maybe maybe not.
- 30:09Speaker 3: Geez, that's not big on him. Like, yeah, he's good
- 30:13Speaker 3: in the ring, but I don't know.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what I was gonna say Aspray is
- 30:18Speaker 2: the over no selling. Yeah, Like Osprey is.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Another one of those guys though that I can't think of,
- 30:27Speaker 1: Like I can think of like some some.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Man programs he's had.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I can't think of a bad match that he's had. Now,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I get I understand like the no selling and everything
- 30:37Speaker 1: and the flippy stuff is like that's not for everyone,
- 30:39Speaker 1: but that's also the beauty of professional wrestling. Everybody kind
- 30:43Speaker 1: of has their own thing, you know, we've you know,
- 30:46Speaker 1: and we've all said on the on the show, like
- 30:48Speaker 1: what kin we like, what what what style we prefer
- 30:51Speaker 1: and what style we don't. It kind of shows up
- 30:53Speaker 1: a little bit in our top five.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not. He may be in my top ten,
- 30:58Speaker 2: but he's not in my top five. Yeah. Number three
- 31:01Speaker 2: for me.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Is somebody that we talk about quite often and somebody
- 31:06Speaker 1: that also Jason I agree on, but it's not his.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Number three is Gunter Man. You okay, I know exactly
- 31:15Speaker 2: what you're doing. Success. No, I I'm going number three
- 31:20Speaker 2: with Gunther good dirt man. That's a bad man, bad
- 31:25Speaker 2: bad man. Also, did you hear what what he said
- 31:27Speaker 2: on Undertaker's podcast about somebody that drove nine hours to see.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, that's ridiculous.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess he was at a meet.
- 31:36Speaker 1: It was it wasn't even like a show of a
- 31:37Speaker 1: meet and greet, right, yeah, yeah, So like he was
- 31:41Speaker 1: at a meet and greet and this guy drove nine hours. Yeah, okay,
- 31:46Speaker 1: Well if somebody drove nine hours.
- 31:48Speaker 2: To see him and he was like, he said something
- 31:52Speaker 2: along the lines of you needed you need to do
- 31:56Speaker 2: manage your time better, like do something better with your time.
- 31:59Speaker 2: He said, he felt like that was the most responsible
- 32:01Speaker 2: thing he could have said too. So yeah, I've got
- 32:05Speaker 2: to go Gunter.
- 32:06Speaker 3: I'll tell you who's not a fan of Gunther, Brett Hart.
- 32:09Speaker 2: He is not Brett I Brett Hart said here recently
- 32:16Speaker 2: he is not a fan of Gunther because he does
- 32:18Speaker 2: not like professional wrestling where it gets where you quote
- 32:22Speaker 2: unquote hit your hits each other for real, Like he
- 32:25Speaker 2: does not like the chops. He does not like you know,
- 32:27Speaker 2: the like the strong.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Style type stuff that Gunter typically does. And like I
- 32:34Speaker 1: understand where Brett's coming from with that.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Screw Screw Brett, Brett, Screw Brett Glsey. He wins the
- 32:42Speaker 2: title and immediately it goes to his head.
- 32:45Speaker 1: No, Like I get what he's saying, but it's like,
- 32:49Speaker 1: not every match has to If every single match, excuse me,
- 32:53Speaker 1: if every single match on a card was chain wrestling,
- 32:58Speaker 1: I'm going to get bored of chain Wrestling's right will Yeah, yes,
- 33:04Speaker 1: going after will osbreak He's a mad Josh's a mad
- 33:08Speaker 1: man right now?
- 33:10Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 33:11Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I yeah. Anyway, Well, Brett.
- 33:16Speaker 3: I'm going to disagree with you because going there is
- 33:18Speaker 3: number three. Okay, so we agree on that, Okay, he
- 33:21Speaker 3: was going to be on my list somewhere. I just
- 33:22Speaker 3: put him here, Okay, pretty much the same reason. I mean,
- 33:25Speaker 3: I cannot have a bad match you can rely on
- 33:28Speaker 3: going through to basically carry anyone.
- 33:30Speaker 2: I mean, look at that, look at the look at
- 33:32Speaker 2: the match he had with Jay Huso. Yeah, and look
- 33:35Speaker 2: at the match you just had with Goldberg. Yeah yeah,
- 33:38Speaker 2: actually yeah, like it's he had I mean, well I
- 33:42Speaker 2: think it was like a fifteen minute match with Goldberg. Yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 2: he got a fifteen minute match out of Colburg.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and Goldberg didn't really look bad.
- 33:49Speaker 1: No, Like that shows like and that's and that's another
- 33:53Speaker 1: thing with like Brett Hart's comments about him. It's like, again,
- 33:56Speaker 1: I understand you're not a fan of the style, but
- 33:58Speaker 1: we have somebody here Bratt can get in the ring
- 34:02Speaker 1: and make anybody look good.
- 34:03Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, he just feels like one of those
- 34:06Speaker 3: classic wrestlers in a way.
- 34:09Speaker 2: He does.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Like I remember I semi followed him on the British
- 34:14Speaker 1: Indies when he he wasn't going by Gunther then he
- 34:17Speaker 1: was going by Walter.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know that was it was.
- 34:21Speaker 1: It's pretty much the same thing, just different name. Gunter
- 34:24Speaker 1: is his pretty much his WWE.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Name, although he started as Walter and WB technically yes
- 34:29Speaker 3: he did it, and in X t U K Yeah, yeah,
- 34:31Speaker 3: he did start as as Walter, but once he got
- 34:36Speaker 3: up on the main roster and.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Everything, he was Gunter. Anyway, you want to write that
- 34:41Speaker 2: on there? Oh yeah, yeah, I can't if I write
- 34:43Speaker 2: him on there right now, we're going to lose the recording.
- 34:46Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say something about the Gunter the
- 34:48Speaker 3: Summer Slam match. I see him Punk, see him. Punk's
- 34:50Speaker 3: not like a small, small guy, but he's kind of small.
- 34:53Speaker 3: It was almost like a David Goliath match in a way.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Doing is not a huge guy, but he felt very
- 34:58Speaker 3: you know, power over empowering him to Punk in that way.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Gunter is not Yeah, he's definitely not
- 35:07Speaker 2: the biggest guy in there.
- 35:09Speaker 3: He's not Walter.
- 35:10Speaker 2: He's not well, he's not well, not that version of Walter.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:14Speaker 1: When he was Walter, he had some weight on him,
- 35:17Speaker 1: and then he cut weight and you know, pretty much
- 35:20Speaker 1: became Gunter.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, like.
- 35:23Speaker 1: It's he's yeah, he's he doesn't he does not come
- 35:26Speaker 1: off like he can. He does come off like he
- 35:28Speaker 1: can overpower you, but he does not give that look
- 35:31Speaker 1: like he does not when you look at me, you
- 35:33Speaker 1: don't think that.
- 35:34Speaker 3: One of those chops actually cut the Punk open a
- 35:37Speaker 3: little bit?
- 35:37Speaker 2: Did it really shoulder area?
- 35:40Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, yeah, I mean, okay, I got a quick question.
- 35:44Speaker 2: All right, it's real. It is real to some people.
- 35:49Speaker 2: It really is real. Quick Okay, like that guy who
- 35:52Speaker 2: was losing his mind. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 1: There there was a video over the weekend of a
- 35:57Speaker 1: seeing Punk fan leaving the even the stadium, obviously upset
- 36:02Speaker 1: because Punk lost the title to Seth Rowlins who cashed in,
- 36:07Speaker 1: and other fans are trolling him because do you, like,
- 36:11Speaker 1: are you happy with yourself? You're like West Virginia famous now,
- 36:16Speaker 1: Like other wrestling fans are trolling him by singing Seth
- 36:19Speaker 1: Rowlins theme song, and he at one point goes silence, like, buddy,
- 36:28Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong wrestling fan.
- 36:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Like there's literally pictures of me with a stone cold
- 36:34Speaker 1: Steve Austin shirt when I'm like three years old and
- 36:37Speaker 1: my mom in like nineteen ninety eight had just brought
- 36:40Speaker 1: my brother my twin brothers back from the hospital because
- 36:42Speaker 1: you just had him. And there's literally a picture of
- 36:44Speaker 1: me sitting right beside their their baby seats, car seats
- 36:49Speaker 1: with a stone cold Steve Austin. Sure, I've been in
- 36:51Speaker 1: this game for a long time. I can tell you
- 36:53Speaker 1: it's not that deep. I've never gotten so mad at
- 36:56Speaker 1: something like that to where I'm like telling other people.
- 37:02Speaker 2: I'm not doing that.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Yea.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Anyway, you had a question, Oh yeah, yeah, I have
- 37:06Speaker 2: a question. I went on the tangent. Yeah, all right,
- 37:09Speaker 2: before we get to the last two, you gotta pick
- 37:13Speaker 2: one or the other. I'm gonna get like you.
- 37:15Speaker 1: There's no one or two, one or two. Would you
- 37:18Speaker 1: rather take a chop from Gunther or.
- 37:23Speaker 2: A spear from bron Breaker? Put him on the spot
- 37:31Speaker 2: right now, I'm.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Gonna put ap from You're gonna go with.
- 37:33Speaker 2: The chop from Good?
- 37:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like a spear from Breaker's gonna just
- 37:36Speaker 3: gonna break my back. It's gone, it's gonna knock the windown.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I kind of I think I have
- 37:42Speaker 1: to agree with that. At least the Gunther chop I
- 37:44Speaker 1: can walk away. Yeah, I feel like I feel like
- 37:47Speaker 1: bron Breaker spears me with as much speed as that
- 37:50Speaker 1: man picks up off the ropes.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I'm done, Yeah, like I'm I got.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I immediately got Jim Ross in my head, going he's broking,
- 37:59Speaker 1: he's been broken in half because I have he's got a.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Family, all right, Number four for the three of us,
- 38:11Speaker 2: know it, Lighty, do it, lady, do it? Going through?
- 38:15Speaker 1: Because going through is number four for Jason probably the
- 38:20Speaker 1: same reasons that we we've picked going through. Yeah, I mean,
- 38:24Speaker 1: except his is at number four, So it's a man's
- 38:26Speaker 1: Jason's top five.
- 38:28Speaker 2: My number four is it's I don't want to say controversial.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I guess semi. For certain people, it's Hangman
- 38:37Speaker 1: Adam Page. I think that the like Tony Storm, the
- 38:42Speaker 1: character arc that Hangman has been one to where he
- 38:46Speaker 1: has sort of turned into like this, I guess you
- 38:48Speaker 1: could say anti hero in a way. I think it
- 38:52Speaker 1: suits better than the white meat babyface we saw Adam
- 38:56Speaker 1: Page at the beginning of a W I think it's
- 39:00Speaker 1: it's leaps and bounds better than what he was what
- 39:02Speaker 1: he was doing, because like the thing is at least
- 39:06Speaker 1: in my brain, and the audience can disagree with me
- 39:09Speaker 1: and you can disagree with me. Only certain people can
- 39:13Speaker 1: pull off a white meat babyface. Very few can, but
- 39:17Speaker 1: only only certain ones can, and very few people can.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Even John Cena, who.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Was a white meat babyface for a long time. I
- 39:24Speaker 1: could say I would say that he pulled it off,
- 39:26Speaker 1: but the crowd.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Rejected it very harshly. They got it back. He did,
- 39:32Speaker 2: he didn't. He got it back to this past Friday
- 39:34Speaker 2: on Smackdowns.
- 39:35Speaker 3: I'm glad they kind of kept the the heel part
- 39:37Speaker 3: of his entrance. Then he goes there because I like
- 39:39Speaker 3: the whole blackout thing. It was so cool.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked I like those little details, Yeah, little
- 39:43Speaker 1: details out there. But Adam Page, hangman, Adam Page. I
- 39:47Speaker 1: think that I think that now the quote unquote main.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Character of AW has finally arrived. I think that. I
- 39:54Speaker 2: think AW in general has improved as a company within
- 39:58Speaker 2: the past year, and all in Texas showed that showed
- 40:03Speaker 2: what they've really been building up.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Towards his match with John Moxley, I thought, you know,
- 40:09Speaker 1: I'm not I'll say this, I'm not a fan of
- 40:12Speaker 1: death matches. I've said it on the show before. I'm
- 40:14Speaker 1: not that big of a fan of the hardcore matches.
- 40:16Speaker 2: I like him, but I can give or take with them.
- 40:19Speaker 1: I did like that one. I was okay with that one.
- 40:22Speaker 1: So if they they and it could be it's both
- 40:25Speaker 1: of them. I'm not I'm not dissing John Moxley and
- 40:27Speaker 1: all of this, but I have to give it the
- 40:30Speaker 1: Hangman out of page. The main character of AW has arrived. Yeah, yeah,
- 40:36Speaker 1: success the former main character of a W.
- 40:41Speaker 3: I'm at the groove Jason on something. But so I
- 40:44Speaker 3: disagree with bretton my last pick. But I'm a grief
- 40:47Speaker 3: with Breton's next pick. See him punk.
- 40:49Speaker 2: You can go with SEM punk CM punk Cookie Monster.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Yeah. Now is he as good in the ring as
- 40:55Speaker 3: he used to be? Not quite, but it's what he
- 40:58Speaker 3: can do in the ring. In the story, he tells
- 41:00Speaker 3: why I think he's one of the greats today.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Fair enough? Fair enough? You might have to write that
- 41:04Speaker 2: on there.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Carls Montgomery or Montgomery did you the Xavier?
- 41:12Speaker 3: Yeah, just throwing stuff in there, you know, x C
- 41:15Speaker 3: x M punk. Yeah.
- 41:17Speaker 2: I came up with the ex effort flipping around its
- 41:20Speaker 2: MX Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
- 41:23Speaker 1: I remember watching that so much on Spike TV after
- 41:25Speaker 1: Monday Night roll went up there.
- 41:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Oh, if you've ever watched Most Extreme Elimination Challenge also
- 41:32Speaker 1: known as MX, go ahead right into the grail out
- 41:34Speaker 1: to grill Out ninety five at gmail dot com when
- 41:36Speaker 1: you can message us on Facebook at facebook dot com.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Forward slash the grill out.
- 41:40Speaker 3: I will say, there's also where Punk has come back
- 41:43Speaker 3: to WWE. There's this he has this almost this thing
- 41:47Speaker 3: that brock Lesner has where it's there's this sense of realism,
- 41:50Speaker 3: realism to it. It's like it feels like he could
- 41:53Speaker 3: snap in a way, and it really plays into his
- 41:57Speaker 3: character more. Yea, and in some ways almost would put
- 42:00Speaker 3: lives in the top five if he had a match
- 42:01Speaker 3: like he has with like say, Brian Danielson every time.
- 42:04Speaker 3: But he didn't have a match like that every time.
- 42:05Speaker 3: He was picky and choosy.
- 42:07Speaker 2: So yeah, he does pick.
- 42:08Speaker 3: And choose when he's good.
- 42:11Speaker 2: He's good. Yeah anyway, Yeah, so see him Punk. Uh.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Now we're on to number five, our final spot for
- 42:19Speaker 2: our top five.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Jason says Becky Lynch. Why Becky is awesome?
- 42:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I can't speak for Jason. I don't
- 42:30Speaker 2: know why he picked Becky Lynch, but Becky's awesome.
- 42:33Speaker 1: I think great. She's I mean, yeah, she's she's phenomenal
- 42:37Speaker 1: with Mike.
- 42:38Speaker 3: She tore Hi Nikki Pillis last time.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Yeah, she really didn't mester her up with that you
- 42:43Speaker 1: can't see you, oh boy. But also like I feel
- 42:47Speaker 1: like like here recently with her holding the intracontinental title,
- 42:51Speaker 1: I think she's put a lot of legitimacy to that,
- 42:54Speaker 1: that title itself. So you know, I have to I can't.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I can't really argue with Jason on plus a tittilism
- 43:01Speaker 1: and do what you want.
- 43:01Speaker 3: Yeah, my speculating on his thoughts.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Yes, Now, this next one's going to make see him
- 43:07Speaker 2: punk fans lose their minds. Yeah, he's a guy.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Always been in my top five. We're current wrestlers, not
- 43:14Speaker 1: all five all time top five, he's kind of in
- 43:16Speaker 1: my top twenty, top fifteen all time seth rawlins. Yeah,
- 43:20Speaker 1: like he just worked everybody with the knee, okay, Like
- 43:25Speaker 1: and I didn't you you don't ask me, like, did
- 43:28Speaker 1: I see the part where he you know, through the
- 43:31Speaker 1: I didn't see that.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Originally.
- 43:33Speaker 1: I saw people parroting that on TikTok, and when I
- 43:37Speaker 1: saw that, went oh okay, So then I started digging around.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Like, oh yeah, so that's what they're doing.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Yeah, so like people were already parroting that. It was great.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Oh I could have oh yeah, I could imagine.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Yeah, Seth seth Rawlins, I think is definitely a go
- 43:54Speaker 1: to guy if you need a solid match. I don't
- 43:57Speaker 1: think Seth is I think Seth is.
- 44:00Speaker 2: Good on the mic.
- 44:01Speaker 1: I don't think he's amazing or great on the mic,
- 44:04Speaker 1: but I definitely think he's he's he's good at it.
- 44:08Speaker 2: I think he is.
- 44:09Speaker 1: He is definitely one of those guys that does have
- 44:10Speaker 1: all have everything. He's the whole package.
- 44:12Speaker 2: He's got the look, he's got the athleticism, he's got
- 44:14Speaker 2: the skill. I mean, he's got it all. And he
- 44:17Speaker 2: is a guy. He is a guy that you can
- 44:19Speaker 2: count on.
- 44:20Speaker 1: There's a reason why they had they decided to throw
- 44:23Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight belt on him.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Okay again, Yes, and.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Seth Rawlins is another one of those wrestlers can't really
- 44:32Speaker 2: think of a bad match that they've had.
- 44:34Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure if you dig around a little bit,
- 44:37Speaker 1: Josh has Alread giving me that look.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Helen the sil twenty nineteen fiend bray.
- 44:41Speaker 2: White, Well, you know what, I blame the Red Cage
- 44:44Speaker 2: for that.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it is just the booking of that match. Like
- 44:48Speaker 3: yeah yeah, Like also because like their their match at
- 44:53Speaker 3: Crown Jewel.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Was much better.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and I and and also like I think around
- 44:58Speaker 1: that time with d WWE, especially when it came to
- 45:01Speaker 1: the Fiend, they had no idea what they had.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't know what they had in front of them.
- 45:06Speaker 2: So all right, I'm gonna give it to you for
- 45:08Speaker 2: you last one.
- 45:10Speaker 3: There are a bunch of different people go on this
- 45:12Speaker 3: list that Jason is not released yet. That's not this
- 45:14Speaker 3: list though, that's not this list. It's my list. My
- 45:19Speaker 3: list has been read twice checked three times. Seth Rowlins,
- 45:24Speaker 3: you're gonna go Seth I'm gonna go Seth Rollins.
- 45:29Speaker 2: You could tell, like, go ahead and write it on there.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Like the funny thing is like you can look at
- 45:35Speaker 1: all like look at the three of us, look at
- 45:37Speaker 1: our list.
- 45:39Speaker 2: There's some differences, but there's definitely.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Some similarities with yeah, Like right now, okay, just to
- 45:45Speaker 1: give a quick recap before we get to the main event,
- 45:48Speaker 1: all three of us have to Tony Storm.
- 45:49Speaker 2: At number one. Yeah, all three of us.
- 45:52Speaker 1: All three of us have goother somewhere on our list.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Jason has him at number four, We both have him.
- 45:58Speaker 2: At number three. Uh uh, let's see. You and I
- 46:02Speaker 2: both have Seth Rawlins and let's see You and Jason
- 46:06Speaker 2: both have see Him Punk.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Now, of course there's some differences. You have Brian Danielson
- 46:11Speaker 1: on yours, Jason has will Ospray and Becky Lynch on his.
- 46:15Speaker 1: I have Swerve Strickland and Adam Page on mine.
- 46:21Speaker 2: But yeah, like.
- 46:23Speaker 3: I mean, there are other people who deserved that could
- 46:26Speaker 3: be in the top five list. I mean, Cody Rhodes
- 46:28Speaker 3: could be there. Roman Rings character, Yes, ring work, it's
- 46:33Speaker 3: it's in there. No, No, it's yeah.
- 46:36Speaker 1: And and I think I think if if you would
- 46:38Speaker 1: have asked us a year ago, I think Cody would
- 46:40Speaker 1: have been in top five. But where he's he just
- 46:43Speaker 1: had the belt taken off of him. Of course he
- 46:45Speaker 1: just won the belt back. But where he's had the
- 46:46Speaker 1: belt off of him, he's kind of cool down a
- 46:48Speaker 1: little bit.
- 46:48Speaker 2: You know. I would I probably would take him out
- 46:51Speaker 2: of my top five at the moment. But if you
- 46:52Speaker 2: would have asked me a year.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Ago, I probably would have said, Cuddy Roads in there somewhere.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Some people might put John Box on there.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think he's great in the ring.
- 46:59Speaker 3: I feel like he wants too much blood two minute, Yeah,
- 47:04Speaker 3: too much blood.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's it's it's kind of like the like
- 47:06Speaker 1: I said about the match, it's like the death match stuff,
- 47:10Speaker 1: Like I don't need every match to be a death match.
- 47:11Speaker 1: I don't need every match to be a technical clinic.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Brett.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I mean Ripley, Yeah, real, Ripley could easily.
- 47:20Speaker 2: I think she's in Archar scene.
- 47:22Speaker 1: Yo Sky was another one. I thought about putting her
- 47:24Speaker 1: up there, but anyway, yes, so real quick.
- 47:29Speaker 2: Just to recap, Josh has.
- 47:33Speaker 1: Any man with two hands has a fighting chance. Yeah,
- 47:36Speaker 1: so real quick. Our top five Josh number one, Tony Storm,
- 47:40Speaker 1: number two, Brian Danielson, number three, Gunter number two see
- 47:43Speaker 1: him punk and Oh number four see him punk and number.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Five seth rawlins.
- 47:49Speaker 3: You want one two three?
- 47:51Speaker 1: I went I lost my mind a little bit about
- 47:53Speaker 1: halfway through that. Jason number one, Tony Storm number two,
- 47:56Speaker 1: see him Punk, number three, will Osprey, number four, Gunter,
- 47:59Speaker 1: number five, Becky Lynch, and then for me number one,
- 48:03Speaker 1: Tony Storm, number two, Swerve strictly number three, Gunter, number four, Hangman,
- 48:08Speaker 1: Adam Page and number five seth rawlins.
- 48:10Speaker 3: What's kind of interesting is these are all WWE and
- 48:13Speaker 3: ae W nothing outside of it.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I was really trying to think like
- 48:18Speaker 1: outside of those two bubbles, but I couldn't really think
- 48:20Speaker 1: of anybody now.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Granted, the AEW folks get to do some Japan and
- 48:24Speaker 3: whatever stuff, but they're mainly aw.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly.
