2:07
Yeah, they are. They're fun.
2:09
Like I I love doing these. Did you watch NXT?
2:15
I didn't because when you were watching it, it was like towards
2:19
the end of it, so. Yeah.
2:23
Pretty much, but I could watch the highlights on Snapchat, so.
2:28
Hardy Boys. I.
2:31
Never. I never thought I like, you
2:33
know, and this wasn't on my bingo card.
2:37
Hardy Boys NXT tagging champions in 2025.
2:41
Yeah. Like what?
2:46
What? I guess OK, sure, why not?
2:49
The fact that I mean, I know they have a a match with the
2:54
Dudley boys, or did that already happen?
2:56
No, it's still happening in for both belts, their belts.
2:59
OK, OK. Does that not?
3:03
Do you know when that is? I don't remember when.
3:05
I don't know, probably this week.
3:07
I think I saw it on Twitter. Yeah, I think I liked the post.
3:13
I don't know, I might have just like, you know, I pissed me off.
3:16
No, I don't want to like. It Yeah.
3:22
Yes, all the way at the bottom. I somebody posted it and I was
3:26
just like whatever, I don't see this in my forgetting it's the
3:30
one last table match. That's what it would build as.
3:33
All right. Yeah, I didn't save it.
3:37
I didn't even like it. I didn't do anything to it.
3:39
Did I repost? No, I'm not even down here.
3:44
Why would I not do that? Was it on Instagram?
3:51
Either way, Bubba Bully Ray posted it.
3:55
Yeah, yeah. So it says Bound for Glory.
3:59
Oh, so that's in October? That's in October, then.
4:02
This month. Yeah, October 12th, that's on.
4:12
Sunday. Sunday.
4:12
That's their pay-per-view. That's their third year teenage
4:17
yearly pay-per-view and it's the it's the WrestleMania.
4:22
I think it's the WrestleMania. OK.
4:25
Like whenever I got went to 1 and I felt like a WrestleMania
4:29
to me because they had really. Yeah, it has like a whole meet
4:33
and greet and everything. Oh, OK.
4:35
Here and I was just like, oh cool.
4:37
Like like a two night, 2 day meet and greet and then the
4:41
pay-per-view and I'm like, it is their WrestleMania, right?
4:47
So. One final table of October 12.
4:51
Lowell, MA on sale now and for the TNA World Tagging
4:56
Championships. Now it's for the TXT belts too.
5:02
That's crazy. That is crazy that these four
5:08
are still yes. It took a while to get Devon
5:17
ended. OK.
5:19
Because I don't think he wanted to for a little bit because, you
5:22
know, he's backstage manager back, Yeah, Rd. agent or
5:26
something. Yeah.
5:27
I guess, he said. Like they convinced him, like,
5:30
all right, I'll do it, but that's it.
5:32
That's my final one. I haven't seen him do anything
5:34
after that or before that. Yeah.
5:38
There's that that match coming up.
5:43
Oh man, I can't wait to just watch highlights of it and see
5:47
what happens. And then in December, we still
5:51
don't know who's going to be John Cena's last match, but
5:54
we're getting a lot of theories that by Survivor Series, he's
6:01
like in the ring and everything. And then edges, Music Blast.
6:08
And the way that edge left, AW, like I'm gonna go see my family.
6:13
Yeah, I'm gonna go take care of my family, I heard.
6:16
I'm gonna take care of my family real quick and telling Christine
6:20
that you coming, it's like, Nah, it's like you're always gonna be
6:23
my family, You know that, right? Mm.
6:24
Hmm. OK, cool.
6:28
So I have family, yeah. Do do, do, do do.
6:34
Yeah. Yeah.
6:35
Been a long day without you, my friend.
6:40
I want to see Edge. I really want to see Edge.
6:45
Or who. If it's not Edge, then who?
6:47
I don't want to see Brock. That would.
6:51
That already happened. And that was horrible.
6:53
It wasn't even, I thought it was going to be headbanger.
6:58
It was like it was a waste of a freaking audio.
7:04
Like I used it for that, like, Nope.
7:07
Instead I'm going to use it for this one right here that that's
7:09
coming up later. And I hope they they're I hope
7:13
it's good. But if not Edgerton, who?
7:19
What do you think? You know I don't know because
7:24
I'm not. Because of course, you know, I
7:27
missed the John Cena era. You know, I missed that big
7:31
chunk. So I don't know much about his
7:36
rivalries. So I just saw with AJ Styles,
7:41
you know, 'cause they talked about it on Raw.
7:44
So I was like, oh, OK, you know, this is, this seems like a
7:49
really good one. Yeah, but I, I'm like, I don't
7:54
know, you know, I've already seen him, you know, fight Roman
7:59
Reigns. Yeah.
8:01
So, you know, I think it would be.
8:06
So I heard, what was it? I heard somebody on like
8:10
wrestling rumors, they said Dominic Mysterio.
8:14
I would love that but. You know, they said.
8:17
Because, you know, as of that writing, you know, he's still
8:22
double champion, right? So why not?
8:28
And I guess the Intercontinental Championship, John Cena's never
8:33
won. So they were saying why not have
8:39
it be dumb? And then if John wins, then
8:47
he'll be, you know, the Grand Slam champion.
8:50
You know he'll have every single, he would have won every
8:53
single title. Cena wins if Cena wins.
8:56
Yeah, if Cena wins, yes. And then they're like, but if
9:01
Dom wins, you know, and retains, he can say he beat John Cena,
9:07
you know, so they're like, so it could give Dominic, you know,
9:12
more of a push, damn, you know, push, which that would be, you
9:18
know. So I'm like when I was reading
9:21
it, I was like that, that actually, I mean, that would be
9:24
pretty awesome. That would, you know, but I
9:28
would say John Cena wins, you know, that's what I would want
9:32
to go to, you know, because, you know, I'm not a Dom Mysterio fan
9:37
anyway, you know, could you know, I will.
9:41
I will say, you know, I'm glad that he's getting this push, but
9:47
I want to see him defend it more by, you know, by himself, you
9:54
know, so but, you know, we'll see.
9:58
But I think that's AI think that's a that would be a good
10:00
match. Yeah.
10:04
And I think it, you know, whether John Cena wins, it wins
10:08
or loses, you know, I think that still would be, that'd be some
10:13
history making stuff, you know. But they're like, you know,
10:20
hopefully he loses because then, you know, it won't be the, you
10:24
know, go out like Steve Steam did, but you want to go out as
10:29
champ. So, you know, who wants to lose
10:33
their very last match? Yeah.
10:36
But but I think I think that would be good.
10:40
So we'll see if you know that the rumors are true.
10:45
I like that idea. So here's what I've since the
10:52
whole thing happened this whole past year with his heel turn and
10:59
like rewriting back and then after he reversed back, Brock
11:02
Lesnar happened his final bat his final matches against the
11:06
final boss. OK.
11:09
Like, he's at Survivor Series, he's celebrating the win
11:14
finally, and let's go out. You smell what the Rock is
11:20
cooking here, right? They do the whole thing where
11:23
like here he comes, like the whole it's all black and here he
11:26
comes like, yeah, whatever. The hell yeah Yeah.
11:32
Leading up to it, we we figure out that, you know, he came back
11:39
for one final match against John Cena because, you know, he
11:44
ruined that whole segment. He want he didn't want John Cena
11:47
to be his guy. You know he wanted someone else.
11:50
He they're going to use the whole thing where it was it was
11:53
supposed to be Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens supposed to be my
11:55
guy, not you, but they used. You, yeah.
11:58
So and so they do that. They go back and forth with the
12:05
fact that he, like he dropped the ball on his whole heel turn.
12:11
Yeah. And persona and everything.
12:14
I was like, whatever, you dropped the ball and you lost
12:16
the belt back to Cody Rose. And so I had to do so.
12:20
You know, I had to take care of business.
12:22
I was the one who sent Brock Lesnar.
12:25
Yeah. And so we find out it was the
12:27
rock. The rock sat in his cleaner.
12:30
So the cleaner went and did what?
12:33
Again. Yeah.
12:35
Yeah. But John Cena says, no, you
12:42
didn't get the job done. I'm still standing.
12:44
I'm still here. Like I was tweeting the next day
12:47
and talking about AJ Styles, me and AJ Styles and stuff.
12:50
And so Rock gets pissed off. Like, well, now you get one last
12:54
match, one final opponent, my guy, me and.
13:00
Yeah. You know, and who was that?
13:03
Who was it that was coming out with him?
13:06
So, Scott? Travis Scott.
13:08
Here comes Travis Scott with him also.
13:10
But since Travis Scott and John Cena are best friends now,
13:15
Travis Scott, I don't know. I don't know.
13:20
Wow, it would. Have been fun to do that, but
13:23
instead. Yeah.
13:25
One final match. The Rockers, John Cena.
13:28
Once in a lifetime, 3, three in a lifetime.
13:31
I don't know, but that'd be great to see those two fight at
13:35
the very end. And then Cena wins, you know, 2
13:39
for three, two out of three matches.
13:42
And then The Rock congratulates him.
13:46
He's now a legend. He beat the final boss, the
13:50
final he the final match, the final boss his final time
13:54
wrestling and he gets to go off into the sunset the next day on
13:59
raw talking about well, the next two days later on Raw talk about
14:04
his like this is it goodbye. Some people were saying I think
14:09
it was fully Ray that said he should wait until WrestleMania
14:15
and do to send off there. OK, because, you know, it's
14:19
like, why gonna end it on a December when you just end it at
14:23
this like the season finale of wrestling WrestleMania.
14:29
And I mean, that's true. That's good.
14:31
I like that idea better. Like we have, we can have a few
14:34
more matches or he can just like stay for one more, one more
14:38
match was a few more days out there.
14:42
Yeah. But if not the Rock Edge, I
14:48
don't want to see Brock Lesnar again, obviously.
14:50
Yeah, I know. I got people coming into the
14:54
live. Hey, welcome in.
14:57
If not the Rock, then I don't want to see Gunther.
15:03
OK, yeah. Where's he at?
15:04
I. Don't know.
15:09
Hopefully he's not another of Grande Americano.
15:15
No, he doesn't fit the the mall. The whole thing.
15:21
Hey. Ari, how you doing?
15:22
Welcome in hope you're having a great night.
15:25
What if the last Grande Marie Cardinal is actually him?
15:30
John Cena? And we know it's him because.
15:33
He'll yeah. A Hulk Hogan thing where he was
15:35
the the Grant, the guy with the mask, the red, red, white, blue
15:43
mask. It'd be great.
15:47
Ariana Nava, how you doing? Hope you're having a great
15:50
night. Queen, how you doing?
15:52
Welcome in everybody. Yeah, those are some good
15:59
options. And like you said, you don't
16:01
know much about John Cena, so we're going to have to do
16:03
another lore. John Cena's greatest matches,
16:08
his greatest feud and everything.
16:11
Probably the next time we do a predictions episode it's
16:16
probably going to be like what, in two weeks again since TKO
16:19
lost our money? No, actually it so if they do,
16:27
if we don't do triple mania, I ain't natural mania, but AAA, we
16:31
don't do AAA. It won't be till November.
16:35
Actually no. Is there one November 1st?
16:37
Let me see. Because of the Plessy not
16:43
Halloween Havoc 'cause I haven't seen silent main event.
16:56
What am I doing long way sorry. So, so yeah, so crown jewel is
17:16
is this weekend and then they're doing a Saturday night main
17:21
event November 1st, then it's Survivor Series.
17:28
So if we don't do main event, the next time we would do a
17:34
predictions would be in November like end of November.
17:40
War Games. Yeah.
17:42
All right. And that's in California.
17:51
War Games, California. Yeah, San Diego.
17:54
San Diego. Uh huh.
17:55
Oh damn. OK.
17:56
Yeah, that's good road trip, no. I would and it's expensive too.
18:04
It's more. I know.
18:06
How does this seem more expensive than San Diego Comic
18:08
Con? Come on.
18:11
Jeez. All right, anyway.
18:14
Back to what we're. Doing the Crown Jewel in Perth
18:18
starts on Saturday, October 11th at 8:00 PM local time in Perth,
18:21
WA. The event will also begin at
18:23
8:00 AM Eastern, 5:00 AM Pacific, 7:00 AM my time.
18:30
Yeah, 7 your time. 7:00 My Time Your five Your time for viewers
18:33
in the United States, and it's available to stream live on
18:36
Netflix internationally. So here's the breakdown of these
18:39
matches. Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins,
18:44
Mac Downs Undisputed WD champion versus Ross World heavyweight
18:47
Champion and this for the WE Crown Jewel Championship at
18:53
Russell Palooza 2024 Men's Crown Jewel champion Cody Rhodes
18:56
retained Smackdowns undisputed WD Championship.
18:59
During the post event show, he was confronted by Ross World
19:01
Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, with neither having a
19:05
scheduled title defense before Crown Jewel.
19:07
This set up the 2025 men's Crown Jewel championship match, which
19:10
WWE chief content officer Triple H confirmed.
19:15
Also Russell Palooza, Stephanie Becher won Roz women's World
19:21
Championship along the September 26th episode of Smackdown.
19:24
Tiffany Stratton retains Smackdown the Women's
19:27
Championship, thus confirming the 2025 Women's Crown Jewel
19:29
Championship match. They just described both matches
19:32
and we get to just talk about them.
19:35
Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins for the WE Crown Jewel
19:39
Championship. Both champions.
19:42
Who do you have? I think Seth.
19:50
Seth I think so too, because. I don't know.
19:55
I'm so tired of Cody. Well, I think, I mean, and not
20:01
that this does anything for anybody, but you know, Cody is
20:06
the defending crown jewel champion.
20:10
So I say, can we give it? What's that?
20:16
Yeah, Can we do that then? Like he's defending the the
20:19
Crown Jewel Championship. So it really has nothing to do
20:24
with them, you know, being champions.
20:28
Stop moving camera. Sorry, the.
20:31
Camera. That made me crazy.
20:34
Maybe I should stop moving anyway so I the?
20:38
Women's Live Live. Back's nervous.
20:45
She's like, I'm the best. So that's not only is she a four
20:53
time women's tag team champion, she's also what, a two time
21:01
women's champion? So.
21:03
I missed that girl. Oh.
21:07
My God, imagine. Imagine.
21:12
Maybe she'll make her return, right?
21:17
Imagine. AJ versus Lib who crater.
21:26
I don't know which have we seen. AJ Lee at all.
21:29
Just like one man. That was it.
21:31
That was it. Just.
21:32
One, that was it. That was it.
21:34
She's not coming. Back well, I mean, CM Punk was
21:36
like, I've been celebrating with my wife and you know, that was
21:39
that was it. He ain't been around because,
21:41
like you said, you know they've been celebrating their win
21:45
against Beth and Becky. True.
21:50
True. True.
21:50
True so Seth Rollins because Cody doesn't need this win at
21:56
all like he's been up and down like you know if Seth Rollins
22:04
wants to like Cody Rhodes has been Seth Rollins since he came
22:09
back. He doesn't need this win at all.
22:12
Seth Rollins need this win to have like the vision up there
22:15
and like he said, what if he doesn't win?
22:18
Well, Paul, him is going to be like, why did I choose you over
22:24
Roman Reigns? I'm like, yeah, Paul, why did
22:27
you do that? So you know, the the Oracle, the
22:32
vision. So yes, that's Rollins needs
22:35
this one in order for the Vision to, like, at least create some
22:40
buzz. Yeah.

What happened? What happened?
25:19
I was like, we didn't get to find out what happened, right?
25:21
So, so you know, my sister was like, you know, let's let's just
25:26
see, you know, because our Disney Plus was coming up to be
25:32
renewed. So we're like, OK, let's go
25:34
ahead and go with the new bundle.
25:37
But the new bundle, the 2999 for Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN has
25:48
commercials. So if we would have got that
25:51
one, we would have to watch commercials.
25:55
And we don't like watching commercials.
25:58
So it's 3599. Damn.
26:02
With no commercials. Yeah, with.
26:04
No commercials so. And you get all three of them.
26:06
So, so that means we still have, you know, we just have ESPN now
26:14
with no commercials. So.
26:17
When you go. Into commercial, what do you,
26:20
what do you see? I showed you they they put a
26:24
witch pot that said commercial break.
26:27
Oh. It really didn't matter.
26:30
No, so I'm like, you know what? And plus when I don't know if I
26:36
told you, but I I tried to watch it live and it just kept
26:41
buffering. Like it didn't even show any of
26:45
the matches. Like it just was the circle was
26:47
just going and I'm like, really? So my problem was I I showed up
26:54
late to watch it. I showed up during what, CM Punk
26:58
and. OK.
27:00
The attacking match CM Punk versus Seth Rollins and the
27:03
girls. I showed up late.
27:04
And then I showed up right, right on time for that.
27:06
Stephanie had won all that stuff, put it on everything.
27:11
And then it's buffering and I'm like, imagine if I had seen this
27:15
from the top. And while it was buffering, of
27:18
course it it played buffering again, and played buffering
27:21
again. Yeah, I'm getting.
27:22
Message I'm getting messages like Oh my God, you see that I
27:25
was like where are you I'm barely at the start of this
27:29
match because it wants to keep buffering and I.
27:32
Haven't I know like I just tried to because I was.
27:37
I was also late too because, you know, just things happen.
27:42
So I was trying to watch it, but I was thinking it would do like,
27:48
like Peacock used to let you go back, you know, up to two hours.
27:54
Yeah, that didn't work. Like I said, it just kept this,
27:58
the circle just kept going, going, going.
28:00
And I'm like, you know what, I'll just wait for the replay.
28:03
I. Didn't.
28:06
I'm like this. This was lame.
28:09
Yeah. You know, I mean, I'm like, what
28:12
was wrong? What's going on with Peacock?
28:14
Nothing, you know, But Oh well, you.
28:20
Know you want to like have you want to be greedy and like, you
28:24
know, have people pay more than whatever disturbance that
28:29
doesn't even work. OK.
28:31
And then like I then the paper, the baby even happened and I was
28:35
like, I'm I'm so exhausted from looking for it and going back
28:40
and then going to the front again and going back.
28:42
Yeah, like, you know what? I'm going to forget this match.
28:45
I don't even care when I. Don't know.
28:47
What it was, I forgot what it was like.
28:49
All I know is that I heard Brock Lesnar beat John Cena, the rest
28:53
of the matches happened and then CM.
28:55
Funkus, Seth. Rollins was I was watching it
28:57
and then the main man, I'm just like, OK, I'm going to sleep,
29:01
I'm gonna take a nap. I'm.
29:02
Done here. I'm like, you know, oh.
29:07
So I'm like, OK, we're like we're going to see how Crown
29:12
Jewel goes. If we still have the same
29:14
problems, which I hope we shouldn't because we're going
29:17
to. I already said I'm watching the
29:19
replay. I'm not getting up at 5.
29:21
You know, I love wrestling, but you know, I like my sleep a
29:25
little bit more. When it's Saturday morning,
29:28
Yeah. You know what?
29:29
Maybe. Yeah, I'll probably end up
29:31
watching it later. Yeah, I'll wait for the replay.
29:35
Like I'm gonna sleep it off and stuff because I then I got stuff
29:38
to do that night too. We got to do the.
29:39
Right, right. As well with Greg.
29:43
So yeah, that's great. So yeah, but then I have to stay
29:51
off social media because then I'll get everything spoiled
29:59
because I follow, you know, WWE, you know, on Netflix, just WWE
30:07
themselves. I've got you.
30:11
I've got another like podcast that I follow on TikTok and
30:19
Instagram. And they'll probably do their
30:21
stuff like a right away. Oh my God.
30:23
Here's a clip. Here's a clip.
30:24
Here's a clip then. So one guy, he's on the West
30:28
Coast like I am, and he was already like really 5:00 AM Yo,
30:34
he's like really? Am I going to really be up?
30:37
He's like, no, I'm going to watch the replay.
30:39
I said, you know, it's same thing.
30:40
I'm like, I'm just so turned off by WWE right now.
30:49
I'm like, you know what? Now don't, don't get me wrong, I
30:52
know you know, Australia is, you know, for me like 15 hours
31:00
ahead. So of course if I'm going to
31:02
watch it live, I have to get up that early.
31:05
But I'm like, no, I'd rather just watch the replay.
31:11
What is happening? I don't know this camera, and
31:19
you know what? I think it's just this program.
31:23
What did you do? What did you get?
31:24
I didn't do. All I did is I sat up and it
31:27
panned out hand in What? Program is this.
31:37
Riverside, this is the. Only is this us?
31:40
Is this me? Like I don't have it.
31:42
No, it's me, but because I'm on Riverside.
31:46
OK all. Right.
31:48
I I have never had this happen before.
31:51
Oh, you're on so I don't know if this you're.
31:53
On mobile app. No, I, well, yeah, I'm on.
31:57
It's on my iPad. Oh.
32:00
But yeah, I've never, this is what our, I mean, how long we've
32:05
been doing predictions. On Riverside, yeah, whole year,
32:11
2 years, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh.
32:15
OK, this is never happened, never happened before.
32:20
No, that's what it's like. That's why I asked you.
32:24
Is your camera moving? You know, No, but no.
32:27
Probably just me. No, I haven't used.
32:29
I haven't used the mobile 1. So OK, maybe if I use the mobile
32:34
one one day it'll start doing that too or just like.
32:36
I don't know but I'm like I'm trying to stay still but it
32:45
keeps moving it. Keeps moving.
32:47
Is this crazy? Anyway.
32:52
All right, let's go for the next match, John.
32:55
Cena. Versus AJ Styles and a promo
32:59
prior to his match at Clash in Paris, John Cena listed
33:02
wrestlers he wanted to face before his retirement from in
33:04
ring competition at the end of 2025, which includes former
33:07
rival AJ Styles following his loss at Wrestle Palooza.
33:11
She says Cena posted on X about C like the next day he's up
33:16
posted on X about having a match about against a Styles, which
33:19
Styles responded saying he wanted to match as well.
33:21
Triple H confirmative match between them for our Crown
33:25
Jewel. According to five full select,
33:26
the match was built over social media because Cena had no
33:28
scheduled TV dates before Crown Jewel.
33:30
He didn't want to come out. He didn't want to like ruin
33:32
those six more dates. He didn't want to do it like he
33:40
said it like he said it that night too.
33:43
Or I think it's what the next night are on Raw.
33:47
Triple H Listen to the fans. They all want this.
33:52
Yeah. Like if you don't, you're making
33:53
a great mistake. And I'm like, damn brother,
33:56
those guys like if you don't, you're making.
33:57
A mistake. Hey, he's got, he's got no
34:03
filter, I guess. No, ever since.
34:06
He just says what he wants, you know?
34:07
Yeah, in. Final years like I'm gonna.
34:09
Be over a. Rumble, I'm gonna be in
34:12
Elimination Chamber because, you know, if you want what's best
34:15
for business, if you want what's best for business, you're gonna
34:18
put me in a match against AJ Styles, like, All right, see
34:21
now, OK, this is just a normal match.
34:26
It's like, I love it. Like let's do that.
34:29
It was just so like, and you know what?
34:33
If this ends up being the main event, that's great.
34:35
I would love it. Yeah.
34:39
But damn is AJ Styles. So.
34:42
And then, like, AJ Styles did this thing on last Friday.
34:44
I think it was Friday. Or was it Monday?
34:47
I'm gonna beat up John Cena. Yeah, on Monday, yeah, cuz he
34:53
was talking to the judgment day. Yeah, well, he, yeah, he was
35:01
talking to to Dragon Lee and the judgment day came, you know,
35:06
putting sticking their nose in everybody's business.
35:09
So. AJ and Dragon Lee.
35:15
Wow. AJ Lee.
35:18
Yeah. I hate it.
35:19
I hate it. Way to tell people, hey, we
35:25
don't have AJ Lee anymore, but here's AJ Lee at home.
35:28
Yeah, exactly. We have AJ Lee at home.
35:30
Yeah. We have AJ Lee at home.
35:33
I'm gonna say John Cena. He needs that win like.
35:36
Poor guy. He got destroyed.
35:38
He. Got destroyed.
35:41
I wasn't. I I'm AJ Styles junior.
35:44
AJ Styles. I said AJ Styles, Yeah.
35:46
He can't beat up John Cena, but. John Cena.
35:48
So what was it? If I remember correctly, they
35:52
said that each time that they so since they started this rivalry
36:00
a JS1. Yeah.
36:03
OK, so then. He had the good brothers with
36:07
him. Oh, OK.
36:10
So I was like, they would always come in any fear for him.
36:15
Oh, OK. Or AJ were like, yeah, they're
36:19
beating up John Cena. That's why the whole thing.
36:22
I'm gonna beat up John Cena. That's working OK.
36:28
So I'm gonna say John Cena, though.
36:29
It's like he needs to win. And like, I loved when these two
36:33
fight each other. Yeah, so.
36:35
Like so cool. Next match, Rhea Ripley and Neil
36:43
Skyvers, The Kabuki Warriors Oscar and Kyrie Sane At
36:47
SummerSlam, Ria Ripley and Yos Fat competed for the world Wins
36:49
the World championship, though neither one after Ripley and Sky
36:53
maintain a friendly relationship much due to this may of Sky's
36:56
former Damage Control stablemates, the Kabuki Warriors
37:01
Oscar and Kai are sane, but more specifically Oscar, who
37:03
confronted Sky multiple times, claiming that Sky should end her
37:06
friendship with Ripley. Sky was scheduled to face
37:10
Stephanie would care for to make it the title, where Oscar stated
37:14
that she and saying would help her win, but Sky declined their
37:17
help. Sky lost the match.
37:18
Two nights later on Raw, Oscar confirmed by Care stating that
37:21
Sky would have should have won the title instead.
37:24
Ripley then interrupted her, stating that she was tired of
37:27
Oscar's behavior. This led to a match between
37:30
Ripley and Oscar being scheduled for later that night, but before
37:33
that, Sky asked Ripley to call off the match, which Ripley
37:35
declined and stated that Sky should be careful with Oscar,
37:38
which infuriated Sky. Later, Ripley defeated Oscar.
37:42
Following the match. Oscar spat missed on Ripley
37:45
before Sky made the safe, Oscar performed spinning back fist on
37:50
Sky betraying her. After that Oscar had conflicted
37:52
saying attack Scott and Ripley. On the following episode, Ripley
37:55
called out the Quickie Warriors. Sky appeared instead.
38:00
Sky then stated that Ripley was right about Oscar insane but
38:03
stated that they were family she still loved them.
38:07
The Kuki Warriors then appeared in the Trentron and Oscar said
38:10
that she would forgive Sky. She apologized to her Sky and
38:13
left only for the Kuki Warriors that attacked Ripley, prompting
38:16
Sky to interviewing Oscar and spat missed on Sky before
38:19
continuing the attack on Ripley. Later at night, Saying tried to
38:23
convince Sky to apologize to Oscar which Sky refused and told
38:25
Saying that leave her alone. Sky revealed to Ripley that
38:28
after speaking with Raj and her manager, it appears she and
38:31
Ripley, in The Ladder's home country of Australia, would face
38:34
the Kabuki Warriors and Tacky Match at Crown Jewel.
38:42
Oof, how I got Rio. I got what?
38:48
Rio. Rio.
38:49
Rio I hate. Rio.
38:50
Rio. Yeah, Rio, I got.
38:53
I got Rio. I got Rio too.
38:56
Which I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't think it
39:01
was going to be A tag team match.
39:02
I knew Rhea would have a match because it's Australia.
39:06
Australia, yeah. So I was like, they're going to,
39:10
you know, she had one last time. And so I'm like, of course
39:16
they're going to showcase her again.
39:19
And so I thought it would be Rhea versus Oscar, but now it's
39:26
Rhea and EO versus the Kabuki work Warriors.
39:32
I hate the fact that damage controls no more.
39:39
Damage control was no more when they took out Bailey.
39:43
Yeah. I don't know what this was.
39:45
Well, you know, NC. Sky.
39:48
Yeah, and they, and then then, you know, Dakota Kai was gone,
39:53
but they still didn't use damage control, you know, they never,
39:58
you know, came out as damage, damage control again, you know.
40:03
So I guess whenever Dakota Kai got, you know, released, you
40:09
could say that's when damage control was, you know,
40:12
disbanded. They just kept, you know, the
40:16
Kabuki Warriors and and EO just they should have kept it.
40:21
I don't know. This should have Ria Ripley
40:29
Neal, Sky for the Wind. Couple of people were Oscar
40:31
cursing. Yeah, but I think this needs to
40:36
be a no DQ. No DQ, yeah.
40:41
Yeah. Yeah, be throwing the mist and
40:43
everything. Mm hmm.
40:47
So yeah, no DQ and just let him go at it.
40:51
Do you like they say, was that the they've been saying Tornado
40:55
tag team just do that? Yeah, and finally this match
41:02
just added I think, which I hope is the the friggin opener better
41:11
open. No, no, the main event, Yeah,
41:14
the the actual fight that we wanted for Brock and John Cena.
41:21
Yeah. Roman Reigns versus Bronson Reed
41:25
in an Australian street fight since early 2000.
41:30
Since early 2025, Roman Reigns was in the rivalry against Seth
41:33
Rollins who allied with Paul Heyman, betraying Reigns.
41:37
They would ally themselves with Brown Breaker and Bronson Reed
41:40
forming division. At Night 1 Summer Slam.
41:42
Reigns as his cousin Jay USO defeated Reed and Breaker and
41:45
attacked him match and a month later at Clash of Paris, Reigns
41:47
defeated Reed. However, he was really attacked
41:50
by Breaker and Reeds afterwards, taking Reigns out on the
41:53
stretcher. Almost a month later, on the
41:55
September 29th episode of Raw, Range returned, helping the Usos
41:58
Jan Jimmy Usos defeat Breaker and Reed in a Tornado tacky
42:02
match. On the following episode, Reign
42:04
was interrupted by Reed and Heyman.
42:05
Reigns then challenged Reign to fight with him at the moment,
42:09
but Heyman stopped Reed from doing so.
42:11
Heyman and challenged Reign to face Reed in a Sterling Street
42:13
fight at Crown Jewel, which Reigns was outed.
42:16
The Tribal Chief versus the Tribal Thief.
42:21
One last time, one more time in the Australian street fight.
42:28
I love it. It's gonna, it's gonna be a
42:33
headbanger. That's who we got, of course.
42:38
That's who I. Got so far?
42:39
Yeah, of course. Roman Reigns.
42:44
We're back to the cinematic, to the cinema.
42:48
OK. We're back to the cinema because
42:51
him telling Jimmy to stay away from his brother or to stay out
42:56
of his way of his brother because he understands him and
42:59
not Jimmy and like, oh, we're doing this shit again.
43:04
We're we're having we're having fun again.
43:06
We're. We're having family drama again,
43:08
huh? Family drama again.
43:09
Let's go. So yeah.
43:12
So hopefully Jimmy tries to come in and in fear if Broad Breaker
43:17
shows up, but I'm calling Roman Roman on this one.
43:27
You. Absolutely no, you know,
43:30
absolutely Roman. So I got Roman.
43:35
We lose or draw. That's a given.
43:41
We got Roman. Yeah, exactly.
43:46
Yeah, that's all five matches for 203499.
43:54
Yeah, with no commercials. I hope that part out now.
44:07
W Crown Jewel in Perth starts on Saturday, October 11th at 8:00
44:10
PM local time in Perth, WA. The event will also begin at
44:14
8:00 AM Eastern, 7:00 AM Pacific, 5 No 7:00 AM Central,
44:19
5:00 AM. Pacific for viewers in the
44:21
United States and it's available for stream live on Netflix
44:24
internationally. We're not leaving yet.
44:26
We're going to play a little game.
44:29
OK All right, so this next one's a crowd favorite boat here in
44:32
the studio in the chat. It's time for another round of
44:35
gimmick or gimmicked for just new to the game, here's how it
44:38
works. I'm going to describe a
44:39
wrestling gimmick that's the character or persona or wrestler
44:42
used on TV and your job, whether you're menace here in the coho
44:46
seat or you're listening at home.
44:48
As to decide if it's real gimmick that actually existed or
44:51
if I completely made-up if it is real, I'll tell you who played
44:55
the gimmick, what year they showed up in a little trivia
44:57
about their run. If it's fake, well, you have to
44:59
laugh at just how believable of our absurdist sounds.
45:03
So little minutes. Here's what you got to do.
45:04
You'll shout that's real if you think it's actually happened in
45:08
WE or another major promotion. Or you'll yell you made that up.
45:11
If you think I'm pulling a fast one chat, you can drop your
45:15
guests in real time. Team real or team fake and those
45:18
playing home, This is your time to test your wrestling knowledge
45:20
and nostalgia skills. No cheating, no Googling.
45:22
Just trust your gut in this decades of questionable creative
45:25
decisions. Now, remember, this round covers
45:29
the years 2000 and 2020. So we're talking the Ruthless
45:32
Aggression era, the PG era and the early pandemic areas.
45:37
Expect everything from reality TV reject to supernatural
45:39
message. Failed factions have forgotten
45:41
comedy acts. And I know is part of the stuff
45:45
that you're not familiar with. So that's why I chose those
45:48
years. So, you know, yeah, it's like
45:53
you get to guess, to actually guess what they're real or not.
45:59
So let's ring the bell and find out who gimmicks, which gimmicks
46:02
were real deals and which ones got completely gimmicked.
46:05
Here we go. Round one, a male cheerleader
46:09
who formed a faction of gymnastic jocks in matching
46:12
outfits. Real or.
46:13
Fake. I think you made that up.
46:20
You think I made that up? I think you knew that.
46:23
People at home and be like, oh shit, yeah, I know that is.
46:27
Yeah, it's real. Is it real?
46:30
It's the Spirit squad 2006. Dolph Ziggler was a part of
46:35
that. OK.
46:38
They literally did cheers mid match one of them with Dolph
46:41
Ziggler. OK, OK, and I have to go set up.
46:48
Yeah, you might as well. I gotta look these up.
46:56
The only one that came out of it was Dolph Ziggler and.
46:59
OK. Like everybody else just like
47:02
got sent back to OVW or. OK to.
47:06
Be indeed again #2A wrestling monk who refused to speak and
47:11
prayed in the corner before every match, real or fake.
47:19
You know, that does sound pretty real to me.
47:24
I think that was real. Everyone at home if you're
47:28
playing is your chance to stop her and say it's real or fake
47:33
and it is fake though. Silent assassins.
47:38
Silent. Characters.
47:39
This one's made-up that he never booked the monk yet #3A
47:45
taxidermist who brought stuffed animals to ringside as fans,
47:51
real or fake. I'm going to go with real
47:59
because this sounds, it almost sounds like the Firefly
48:07
Funhouse. Erick Rowan.
48:10
Was it Eric growing? No, it sounds.
48:12
Like I was growing though. Because he didn't come out with,
48:15
he didn't come out with a little stuffed spider.
48:18
No. Such a fake thing.
48:20
Ever. No, this one's fake.
48:21
But you can totally. See this being a.
48:23
Good Lord in. 2008. Yeah. #4A time traveling caveman
48:30
who got frozen on ice and thought out to wrestle.
48:34
Is it real or fake? As no, yeah, I'm going to go
48:37
with this. This sounds like some WW would
48:40
do. So I'm going to say real.
48:43
I am going to say real on this one.
48:47
OK, it is real Yeti adjacent vibes, but this one's
48:53
technically realish. It's 2006.
48:55
The South wrestling W developmental that had the
48:58
freaking Deacon. Later Festus Luke Gallos, who
49:02
was presented as a primitive man.
49:06
Luke Gallows what that? Yeah, he so every time, Festus,
49:13
he came in as Festus one time and he was just like, you know,
49:19
I don't know what to call him without sounding rated anyway.
49:24
And he's just like, you know, with his tongue out, mouth open
49:28
and everything. And every time the bell would
49:30
ring, like something was snap in his head and he would wrestle
49:35
and beat people up, the bell would ring again.
49:38
He would stop, go back to being standing still like towards like
49:46
he did, he did him and his partner wrestled mid jabbers,
49:49
all that stuff. But towards the fact that, hey,
49:51
we're going to actually use wrestlers here to do that stuff,
49:55
That's when the actual wrestlers went outside, like ring it
49:59
again, like, all right, ring the bell again, just for fun.
50:01
And then he stands there, and then they pin him.
50:04
OK. And then his partner went out
50:06
there and then the ring the bell against like, no, it was one of
50:11
those, one of those crazy moments, All right #5 a man who
50:18
thought he was just a Japanese anime character and spoke only
50:21
in subtitles. That's right.
50:27
That's fake. It is fake.
50:32
I like as crazy as that sounds, that crazy that can't be real.
50:39
That is not real, although it reminds me of Funaki OK where
50:48
him and another wrestler, Japanese wrestlers would come
50:52
out and talk with the mic, but then the worst wouldn't match
50:57
and someone else in the back would translate would say what
51:00
they're saying and it'd be Shane McMahon doing the whole thing in
51:03
the back, just like in the. Dubbing it.
51:06
Yeah, dubbing it. Dubbing it Yeah. #6A zombie who
51:11
stumbled to the ring and groaned mid match.
51:15
Real or fake? And that's real.
51:18
That's real. That is 100% totally real.
51:22
The zombie ECW on Sci-fi in 2006 here appeared once because ECW
51:27
was debuting on the Sci-fi Channel.
51:30
OK. Who beat him?
51:33
The Sandman. The Sandman got tired of it.
51:38
Hit him with a stick. A #7 the social media influencer
51:45
before that was a saying. His gimmick was literally
51:48
posting selfies, real or fake. I'm gonna say that was real.
51:58
That was real. It's 100% real.
52:00
Tyler Breeze NXT 2013 to 2020. He called fans.
52:05
He called fans Ogos and carried a selfie stick low key ahead of
52:09
his time. Went on to tag with Fandango.
52:16
OK. And do the Fashion Police.
52:23
You don't know who Fandango is. No, no, I I saw him.
52:27
I saw him on Total Divas. OK, All right.
52:31
So I'm familiar with. Yeah. #8 a guy whose entire
52:37
gimmick was yelling you're welcome after every move.
52:42
You're welcome. I think that's fake.
52:46
That is not fake. It wasn't after every move.
52:50
It is real. Damien Sandow, 2012 to 2016.
52:53
The intellectual savior of the masses.
52:55
Arrogant, brilliant, underappreciated.
53:00
He never met. He never met Damien Sandow.
53:03
No, I didn't. He came out to the song
53:05
Hallelujah. Oh yeah.
53:08
Exactly. I think it was Hallelujah.
53:12
It was like a classical song. He came out with a robe and when
53:18
he won the money in the bank, which was total mistake, he the
53:22
the briefcase was made of leather.
53:25
Oh, OK, he. Turned the briefcase into
53:27
leather. He would tell everybody you're
53:30
welcome. You know, like for the knowledge
53:33
I just gave you there team with The Miz and he became The Miz's
53:40
stunt double because the miss came back from Hollywood.
53:44
And so Damien Sandow would be like, all right, everything
53:47
you're going to do, I'm going to do.
53:49
But. You know, so they were heels.
53:52
So every time the miss took like a suplex, here comes Damien
53:56
Sandow flipping himself over with nobody around to do that to
54:00
him. But he just over and he's a
54:03
stunt double. He's a stunt double.
54:05
And that's how the fans loved him more.
54:07
And they're like, we like him better than you, man Sorry.
54:10
Ah wow. I'm gonna send you matches with
54:14
him because those were hilarious #9A wrestling magician who'd
54:19
hypnotized his opponent before pinning them.
54:22
Real or fake? That sounds.
54:27
That sounds real. That is 100% fake ma'am.
54:31
What? Yes but there was a character
54:35
called Mordecai in 2004 who came close to cult like powers.
54:39
So barely fake. We have.
54:46
I think I've gotten too right until they take this game.
54:53
You got enough, you're right. Yeah. #10A rich, snobby model
54:59
obsessed with her own reflection, real or fake.
55:03
I could think of a few girls, but that could be sounds like,
55:08
so I think that's real. That's real.
55:10
That's 100% real. It was Gillian Hall from 2005 to
55:13
2010. She had a fake growth on her
55:17
face at one point. I do.
55:21
The boogeyman came out. He ate it.
55:27
Hello, Gross. She was the manager of Eminem,
55:32
Mercury, Molina and Johnny Nitro.
55:38
More John Morrison. OK.
55:41
Them and like when they met her like she was like Melina told
55:47
them like I have you know, social media influencer that's
55:52
gonna help us and everything but I want you to be nice and
55:55
they're like, what are you talking about?
55:56
We're always nice everything else.
55:58
But same time it's like, OK, so here she comes and then they
56:01
meet her and both Morrison and Mercury or like.
56:11
You have a. See.
56:14
Yeah, you know, like everything about it.
56:18
So she had it on for like, what, a few months before they decided
56:23
let's just get rid of it. Here comes the boogeyman came
56:26
out, messed with her, ate it, blah blah.
56:28
They took her out. They took out the entire her
56:30
entire gimmick was done. So then like, how did they like
56:36
show her like with something like like makeup saying that
56:40
like like you ripped it off kind of thing?
56:42
He ripped, he ripped it off on camera, like live, OK.
56:46
It was like it took them. It took like a while because it
56:48
was like sticky. OK.
56:50
It has that whole effect of the I was like, oh crap.
56:57
Yeah. She'd after that gimmick failed,
57:00
she then became a pop singer. Phase that.
57:03
Was so bad it was brilliant. She came out singing Britney
57:06
Spears songs, but in the worst way possible.
57:11
And she pulled. She came out.
57:13
She even has a freaking audio on album out in her worst singing
57:18
voice. She can sing.
57:20
She can sing. She can sing, she's just doing
57:22
it bad. She's just doing it bad.
57:24
I. See.
57:26
And like whenever she did karaoke on one of the segments
57:29
on Smackdown, everybody like, no, so it's OK, it's OK, you can
57:33
stop now. Like all that shit.
57:36
Kill her, Mike. Jimmy Hall was amazing.
57:38
It was awesome, but it was, it was awesome.
57:40
It was entertaining at the time. All right, so that was #10 #11 a
57:44
superhero who fought villains, real or fake.
57:53
And that's fake. You think it's fake, ma'am?
57:57
Ma'am. OK, it's real.
58:03
I changed my answer. Mighty Molly.
58:06
Like there's like so many of them that became superheroes
58:09
with five villains. The hurricane.
58:11
You're right, You're right. Right.
58:14
Gregory Helms made it work. Comic book camp with surprising
58:17
longevity. Is that?
58:20
Hurricane Helms, Hurricane Helms and then Hurricane Helms, the
58:26
wrestler, the superhero. And then outside of it, he did
58:31
the whole Clark Kent. Oh, then there was also Nikki
58:34
ASH too, so yeah. So Gregory Helms did the whole
58:40
Superman and Clark Kent thing where he would, like, interview
58:43
the wrestlers he was gonna fight.
58:46
And it's like, hey, I have a question for you from the
58:50
Hurricanes. Like what?
58:53
It's like, yeah. It's like the hurricane wants to
58:55
know this and this and this. Like, dude, you're the
58:58
hurricane. Like, yeah, you prove it.
59:01
Like, it was funny at the time. And then, like, when he turned
59:08
heel, he just sugar Shane Helms. OK.
59:13
So he just like became more of a heelish after that number 12A
59:18
guy who claimed to be invisible and wrestled imaginary
59:20
opponents. Like, wait a minute.
59:34
This is real. Is it real?
59:37
Is it fake? What do you think?
59:41
It's so fake. I think it's real.
59:45
It is fake, you think it's real. Although in defense have done
59:48
invisible wrestler spots, WWE hasn't gone that far yet.
59:52
Yeah, even where it's like 2 invisible wrestlers and 1
59:57
referee and then a a a table gets broken.
1:00:05
Oh, I'm sorry. Haley But you know it, it does
1:00:07
sound something that they would do so.
1:00:10
It does #13A ballroom dancer who teamed up with a woman to tango
1:00:17
mid match. That's real.
1:00:21
That's 100% real Fandango. Fandango, yeah.
1:00:25
He beat Jericho WrestleMania 29 and had the crowd humming his
1:00:28
entrance team worldwide. It became number one on the
1:00:33
something on. Well, I think I heard about that
1:00:36
one. Number one most downloaded song
1:00:38
ever. Yeah.
1:00:40
All right #14 we have two more #14A wrestling gimmick was that
1:00:45
he was a literal bull. A literal bull, like with horns
1:00:52
and you know. Yeah, yeah.
1:00:56
No, I think that's fake. That is 100% real.
1:00:59
Really. El Torito 2013 to 2015 and Mini
1:01:04
Lujador who feuded with Hornswoggle in.
1:01:06
A Mini. TLC match in a in a VLC match
1:01:14
and had many commentators, many step ladders, mini tables.
1:01:21
It was a wee bit of a great match.
1:01:24
It was the best match of that night.
1:01:26
Oh yeah. It wasn't.
1:01:27
It wasn't even on pay-per-view. It was like the kickoff.
1:01:31
Really. I'm about to send it to you.
1:01:33
OK. And finally #15A conspiracy
1:01:36
theorist who believed the world was run by lizard people.
1:01:44
For my final one, I'm going to say that's real.
1:01:47
That is so fake. What?
1:01:50
But Sami Zayn's Everything's a Conspiracy run in 2020?
1:01:53
Yeah, came very close. Yeah.
1:01:58
Yeah. All right.
1:02:01
That. Was.
1:02:01
But you know, I, I do not doubt any of those at all.
1:02:06
No, of course not. You know, you could have told me
1:02:08
they were all real and WWE would have made it somehow work.
1:02:15
Yeah. Yeah.
1:02:18
And that, my friend, was another round of gimmick or gimmick
1:02:23
chat. Was your score menace.
1:02:25
We just. Yeah.
1:02:27
I bombed that one. I'll just say it.
1:02:30
I bombed that one. We're going to do more
1:02:34
eventually. If you got over 10 right, you
1:02:36
clearly survived the PG era with your sanity intact.
1:02:39
If not, welcome to create a purgatory where anything can
1:02:42
happen and usually does. That was it and you ready to go?
1:02:48
You ready to get out of here? Yeah.
1:02:51
All right, ma'am. It was fun.
1:02:55
Our appointment is not bad. And that, my friends, Isabel,
1:03:01
we've gone coast to coast, turned the page on there and
1:03:03
stared straight into the neon lights of nostalgia.
1:03:06
John Cena, the face that ran the place, the chain gang commander,
1:03:09
the man who turned You Can't See Me into a generational anthem,
1:03:13
takes his final vow on his grand stage.
