- 2:15Speaker 2: Thank you, Josh.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Yeah, oh nice, nice nice.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Well, I'm thanking him for reminding me to release the list.
- 2:21Speaker 2: So in two weeks time, I'm planning on releasing the list, Okay,
- 2:26Speaker 2: two weeks Who made the list? Listen? There are names
- 2:32Speaker 2: on this list that will shock you, okay, and it
- 2:36Speaker 2: is a fair list. I have individuals from multiple generations
- 2:45Speaker 2: on the list, and I believe in two weeks time,
- 2:49Speaker 2: when I release the list, you will be shocked to
- 2:52Speaker 2: see who is on it. You just made the list exactly, Yep.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Exactly. So one thing that did trror this past week
- 3:02Speaker 4: on Netflix. WWE Unreal, It's unreal. Yes. It premiered on
- 3:08Speaker 4: July twenty ninth. The series follows various WWE personalities, from
- 3:12Speaker 4: Cmpunk and John Sena to Triple H and the creative team.
- 3:16Speaker 4: There are five episodes in totals, starting with the lead
- 3:19Speaker 4: up to the to Monday Night Rawls debut on Netflix
- 3:22Speaker 4: and finishing with WrestleMania forty one. The series also follows
- 3:26Speaker 4: the behind the scenes of the Sena hillturn, wrestler's returning
- 3:30Speaker 4: from injury, and a sneak peek into the writer's room
- 3:33Speaker 4: for the Royal Rumble. In fact, it shows a clip
- 3:36Speaker 4: where most of the room goes for Punk to win
- 3:40Speaker 4: the rumble, with a few John Cena's sprinkled in there,
- 3:42Speaker 4: but ultimately Michael Hayes throws out jay Uso because he
- 3:47Speaker 4: is quote hot at the moment, and Triple H decides
- 3:51Speaker 4: to go for j Uso, which kind of shows that
- 3:56Speaker 4: Triple H at times is listening to the minority in
- 3:58Speaker 4: the room, not the majority in the room.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I don't know, is Michael Hayes. Is Michael ps Hayes
- 4:05Speaker 2: out of touch?
- 4:05Speaker 4: Now?
- 4:06Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:07Speaker 4: You think so, yeah, yeah, I think.
- 4:11Speaker 5: He's also the reason seeing Punk did not win the
- 4:13Speaker 5: Triple Threat hmmm, because uh yeah they were triple ah
- 4:18Speaker 5: and all of them were for Punk and then he's.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Like, no, may we should go this way.
- 4:23Speaker 4: So why I wonder why there is so much like
- 4:28Speaker 4: Michael Hayes has so. I mean, I know he's been
- 4:29Speaker 4: there for years, he's been in creative for years for
- 4:32Speaker 4: WWE like and this, but there's a new person sitting
- 4:36Speaker 4: at the head of the table. It's not Vince anymore.
- 4:38Speaker 4: It's Triple h What is called? Why does Michael Hayes
- 4:43Speaker 4: have that kind of pull? I don't know where he
- 4:46Speaker 4: can just kind of say that, say one thing completely
- 4:48Speaker 4: opposite to everybody in the room, and they're gonna go
- 4:50Speaker 4: for that, because and Jason has been very vocal about
- 4:55Speaker 4: Jay Usso winning the Royal Rumble and going on to
- 4:58Speaker 4: win at WrestleMania and how lackluster it has been.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Yes, because again, you're just chasing a pop. It's just
- 5:05Speaker 2: because a person is over with a catchphrase doesn't mean
- 5:09Speaker 2: they are over in the ring.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Which is interesting because after that they saw jos Who
- 5:15Speaker 5: messing up, and so Tripp was like, hey, if you
- 5:17Speaker 5: don't get this together, we're going to go the other way.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Mmm okay and help that.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it.
- 5:27Speaker 4: It's it's like, so there's a there's an old story
- 5:31Speaker 4: this involves like this involved Stone Colach, Steve, Austin, and Vince.
- 5:35Speaker 4: So it's like back in the late nineties, early two
- 5:37Speaker 4: thousands and Austin's back in Gorilla and he can't remember
- 5:42Speaker 4: who it was that went out there. He got a
- 5:44Speaker 4: good pop, good reaction from the crowd, and he looked
- 5:48Speaker 4: at Nancy go like, oh, okay, you got a got
- 5:50Speaker 4: a pretty good pop out of that, and Vince's like, yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 4: I really hope he gets over m It's like that,
- 5:57Speaker 4: right there is the difference that right there shows the
- 6:00Speaker 4: difference and that isn't me like singing not really singing
- 6:04Speaker 4: the praises of Vince, but I also shows sort of
- 6:07Speaker 4: the little difference between Vince and Triple H. Also, this
- 6:10Speaker 4: was Vince long before he started to really get all
- 6:14Speaker 4: over the place with his booking.
- 6:18Speaker 5: One thing that didn't quite show is Michael Hayes like
- 6:21Speaker 5: convincing them for JA. So it would have been interesting
- 6:23Speaker 5: to see that conversation and like how they decided.
- 6:26Speaker 1: You know, Okay, we're gonna go with Jay.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Yeah, And I did hear that apparently like with this
- 6:32Speaker 4: and I think this is coming from Dave Meltzer, that
- 6:36Speaker 4: WWE unreal is they've put it together in a way
- 6:41Speaker 4: to make Triple H look like Dana White for the UFC. No,
- 6:46Speaker 4: I don't know how true that is. That's just what
- 6:48Speaker 4: some of the rumblings are about it. I don't Yeah,
- 6:55Speaker 4: that's all I got at that moment with that.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but is that a good move?
- 6:58Speaker 4: No? No again, not singing in Vince's praises, But Vince
- 7:05Speaker 4: was not even if even though Vince got into the ring,
- 7:08Speaker 4: made himself into a character and stuff against his dad's wishes,
- 7:11Speaker 4: his dad told him never to get into the ring,
- 7:13Speaker 4: never to get involved with the wrestlers. He did that,
- 7:16Speaker 4: but you can say Vince never made it to where
- 7:19Speaker 4: it was one hundred percent about himself. Yeah, like he
- 7:22Speaker 4: kind of was smart enough to know not. I mean,
- 7:25Speaker 4: it's it's it's like it's like the the old It's
- 7:28Speaker 4: like a independent promotion where the booker is also the
- 7:32Speaker 4: wrestler but also the champion. Like, you don't you don't
- 7:34Speaker 4: want to go down that route, not not to say
- 7:37Speaker 4: that that Triple A's going to slap the bet on him,
- 7:39Speaker 4: but yeah, I.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Mean so much so events he didn't want people thinking
- 7:42Speaker 1: him aout the Hall of Fame.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Yeah, like that's it's And I think that right there
- 7:47Speaker 4: just illustrates the the stark difference between the two. I
- 7:51Speaker 4: have not watched. I've watched bits and pieces. I have
- 7:54Speaker 4: not watched Unreal all the way through, so I can't
- 7:57Speaker 4: give my full thoughts on it. Just I know that
- 8:00Speaker 4: there was the clip that Josh sent both of us
- 8:02Speaker 4: about them in the writer's room, which I thought was
- 8:04Speaker 4: very interesting.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Well, wasn't there also a clip where they were talking
- 8:07Speaker 2: about the women the Women's Rumble, and there was one
- 8:12Speaker 2: writer who wanted Chelsea I believe it was Chelsea Green
- 8:16Speaker 2: to be the thirtieth entrance.
- 8:18Speaker 5: So yeah, the idea was that basically the last two
- 8:21Speaker 5: people before Chelsea were in the ring, they did a
- 8:23Speaker 5: double elimination, so Chelsea comes out automatically wins.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it would have been brilliant.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just a random idea he had. It
- 8:32Speaker 5: wasn't like a serious one.
- 8:33Speaker 4: But yeah, I think I think maybe if because it
- 8:38Speaker 4: wasn't that around the time, did Chelsea. Did she have
- 8:40Speaker 4: the US title then yeah, okay, so maybe I mean, okay,
- 8:44Speaker 4: I was gonna say with with that in mind, like
- 8:48Speaker 4: I guess if she didn't have that going on, that
- 8:50Speaker 4: may carry more weight. But since she had the whole
- 8:52Speaker 4: United States title gimmick going on, like kind of let
- 8:56Speaker 4: her do that for.
- 8:56Speaker 2: A little long well, but it also would have been
- 8:59Speaker 2: something that is different like it it never would have
- 9:06Speaker 2: It hasn't happened previously. It's something that would have been
- 9:09Speaker 2: unique to the situation. Yeah, because it's always that Okay,
- 9:12Speaker 2: well what character Yeah, well yeah, I mean that would
- 9:15Speaker 2: have been the most Chelsea way of her winning. You know,
- 9:18Speaker 2: but what happens if everyone before thirty is eliminated? You
- 9:22Speaker 2: know what what happens if everyone's eliminated before the countdown
- 9:28Speaker 2: starts happening, Like do you still wait for the timer
- 9:32Speaker 2: or do you just send the next person out?
- 9:34Speaker 4: Or as as her music is starting, that's when they
- 9:37Speaker 4: go over the ropes and eliminate themselves. Like doesn't even
- 9:40Speaker 4: make it to the ring prety much goes to the
- 9:41Speaker 4: ring wins all that's like like and you even have
- 9:44Speaker 4: the announcers, the comminators say all she has to do
- 9:47Speaker 4: is make it to the ring and she wins now
- 9:50Speaker 4: because there's no other competitors for her. I think also
- 9:55Speaker 4: that would be a breath of fresh air. Yeah, like
- 9:58Speaker 4: another like a an original idea that you don't see
- 10:02Speaker 4: very often these days, because like if you watch any promotion,
- 10:06Speaker 4: not just WWE, but you watch any promotion enough, you
- 10:09Speaker 4: start to notice their booking tendencies. Like we talked off
- 10:13Speaker 4: the air about WWE has a bad habit even now
- 10:20Speaker 4: of booking the loser strongly going into the on the
- 10:25Speaker 4: going into the pay per view pl Like, they have
- 10:28Speaker 4: a bad habit of doing that.
- 10:29Speaker 2: You know. I'll tell you who I would have loved
- 10:31Speaker 2: to have seen this happen to, because I think it
- 10:33Speaker 2: would have been the one way to give her a
- 10:37Speaker 2: royal rumble win and it would have just been amazing. Okay,
- 10:41Speaker 2: So you have let's say, competitors twenty eight and twenty
- 10:45Speaker 2: nine in the ring. You have trishan lieda okay, okay,
- 10:50Speaker 2: and they're going at it. They go over the top,
- 10:54Speaker 2: they both go out both feet, you know, all four
- 10:58Speaker 2: feet have hit the floor. So you have j R.
- 11:01Speaker 2: And you have Jerry Lawler really talking it up like
- 11:04Speaker 2: who's it going to be who's winning the Rumble and
- 11:06Speaker 2: then May Young's music gets so then May Young comes
- 11:12Speaker 2: out and she has won the Women's Royal Rumble, and.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Then Bubba comes out in Power Popps.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Yes, but I mean, come on, how great would it
- 11:22Speaker 2: would it have been to be able to say May
- 11:23Speaker 2: Young won a Women's Royal Rumble? I mean you could
- 11:26Speaker 2: do the same thing with the men. Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought at first you were going to go
- 11:32Speaker 4: like for some reason, my origin my brain originally went
- 11:35Speaker 4: to Santino.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, No, I mean I think it's it's
- 11:40Speaker 2: funnier when Santino loses true true.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Like the it gets into the ring immediately gets like
- 11:48Speaker 4: I wasn't ready. Yeah, I wasn't ready.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Yeah, like it. But also with Jay winning the Rumble,
- 11:54Speaker 2: if you had him lose you, they could have built
- 11:57Speaker 2: up the story like they did with Cody, Because again,
- 12:00Speaker 2: as I've said numerous times, the story when it comes
- 12:04Speaker 2: to championships in my mind is what will the he'll
- 12:07Speaker 2: do to retain it? And what is the journey the
- 12:10Speaker 2: babyface has to go on to get it? No?
- 12:15Speaker 4: Okay, so would you have been more open to jbing champion?
- 12:21Speaker 4: Like what you're saying he wins the rumble, he goes
- 12:24Speaker 4: and he loses, and then he has to chase it
- 12:27Speaker 4: for the next year.
- 12:27Speaker 2: No, I don't think he should have won the rumble
- 12:29Speaker 2: at all. Well, you know, not at all. No, Okay, no,
- 12:32Speaker 2: I think But if.
- 12:33Speaker 4: He would have won, would you have been okay with
- 12:35Speaker 4: that with that them taking that round instead of just
- 12:38Speaker 4: slapping the title on them at Mania?
- 12:42Speaker 2: Probably not, because again I don't think his en ring
- 12:46Speaker 2: work is as crisp as other people's fair you know,
- 12:52Speaker 2: I think he needs more time as a singles wrestler
- 12:55Speaker 2: because I still see him as a tag team wrestler.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's where he, in my opinion, should be.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I mean he too, because he's just kind of lost
- 13:05Speaker 1: right now.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Yeah, he's really not doing anything.
- 13:08Speaker 1: He got the sty tala Tonga that's true.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Yeah, taladaga Talatonga knights.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Yeah, yep.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Still great, yep. Okay, so real quick, before we wrap this,
- 13:19Speaker 4: before we wrapore.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Before we have a question. Yeah, I want to hear it.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Jeff, I'm cutting you off.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Okay, get cut off. So you mentioned Bubba Ray Dudley.
- 13:28Speaker 5: There's been a lot of discourse online about this unreal
- 13:31Speaker 5: document somewhere like this is the worst thing for the
- 13:34Speaker 5: business that exposes way too much.
- 13:36Speaker 4: And I was getting ready to the question like what
- 13:38Speaker 4: y'all thought about it? But go ahead lead in with that.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:40Speaker 5: Like, to me, I find this very interesting, like people
- 13:43Speaker 5: are trying to protect us as a secrets. Like people
- 13:46Speaker 5: have known about this for decades now they wrestling news
- 13:49Speaker 5: sites talk about this like almost every day, But now
- 13:51Speaker 5: that ww puts it on a show, now they're mad,
- 13:55Speaker 5: like you already know.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Why do you care so much?
- 13:57Speaker 5: If you care so much what you don't have to
- 13:58Speaker 5: watch it's true, And people think it takes away the magic.
- 14:01Speaker 5: It's like, no, to me, it's the same thing as
- 14:04Speaker 5: like watching behind the scenes of a movie. It's interesting
- 14:07Speaker 5: to see how it's actually made.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:09Speaker 4: And also like sports writers quit reporting match results for
- 14:13Speaker 4: professional wrestling decades ago. Yeah, Like I think back in
- 14:17Speaker 4: the forties or fifties they stopped. I think it was
- 14:18Speaker 4: the fifties they stopped reporting them because like it was
- 14:22Speaker 4: like one of those open secrets, like everybody kind of knew,
- 14:26Speaker 4: but they didn't. Yeah, you know, like nobody really knew
- 14:30Speaker 4: until like fully until like Vince was like I'm tired
- 14:33Speaker 4: of paying these athletic commissions. We are not an athletic league.
- 14:37Speaker 4: We are an entertainment company.
- 14:40Speaker 5: I guess the question is like, what are your all's
- 14:42Speaker 5: opinions of the show, Like do you think it's a
- 14:44Speaker 5: good idea or do you think it's fine.
- 14:46Speaker 2: I mean, I can definitely see both sides of the
- 14:48Speaker 2: coin here, But I think where where it starts to
- 14:55Speaker 2: be an issue is you can definitely see some people
- 14:59Speaker 2: with more of an outdated mindsetet exposed to some people. Yes,
- 15:05Speaker 2: if if you are, if one of the big things
- 15:07Speaker 2: that you're pushing about going to Netflix is not having
- 15:11Speaker 2: to have a time limit, then you don't need to
- 15:13Speaker 2: tell people that they're going long when they're having a
- 15:16Speaker 2: great match. If the crowd is into it, you use it.
- 15:20Speaker 2: You use your time.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Yep.
- 15:21Speaker 2: If the crowd, oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
- 15:23Speaker 5: I was gonna say, according to Bruce Pritchard, people thought
- 15:25Speaker 5: they didn't have a time and apparently they do. I
- 15:28Speaker 5: don't know.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure they can't go all night, no,
- 15:31Speaker 2: but I mean that's one of the reasons why they
- 15:34Speaker 2: were talking about Netflix, is you know there's no set timeline.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Like a hard cut off.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Yeah, like there might be a soft ending that they want,
- 15:42Speaker 4: like a soft time, but I'm sure if they go
- 15:45Speaker 4: over that, it's not going it's not gonna be like
- 15:47Speaker 4: like with network television, like oh okay, now we've got
- 15:50Speaker 4: to push this programming back because you guys are going over,
- 15:53Speaker 4: or you got to cut your feet off because we
- 15:55Speaker 4: have to get to this next thing.
- 15:57Speaker 1: They don't have that on Netflix. No, exactly, at least
- 15:59Speaker 1: not right now.
- 16:00Speaker 4: I don't gonna say as far as I know, like,
- 16:01Speaker 4: isn't WWE the only streamed thing on Netflix weekly?
- 16:06Speaker 5: Yes, they occasionally do, like maybe something once a month,
- 16:09Speaker 5: but other than that.
- 16:10Speaker 4: There is the I think Jake Paul, Yeah, yeah.
- 16:13Speaker 6: I've had some comedy specials too, Okay, so I don't
- 16:21Speaker 6: I'm kind of I'm I'm kind of with both of
- 16:24Speaker 6: you on this.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Like, I think that it is interesting to see how
- 16:26Speaker 4: this unfolds, how this is put together. That may also
- 16:31Speaker 4: not be so much from an aspect of a well
- 16:34Speaker 4: that I think that does come from some of an
- 16:36Speaker 4: aspect of a lifelong wrestling fan, but also somebody who
- 16:39Speaker 4: has worked in production. Just to see how some of
- 16:42Speaker 4: it's pieced together is is interesting to me. But I
- 16:45Speaker 4: definitely see what you're saying, Jason. Where it does it
- 16:49Speaker 4: does expose some people and show how out of touch
- 16:52Speaker 4: they are or how they actually are behind the scenes.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Like it can't. It's a double edged sword.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Really, I find it funny.
- 16:59Speaker 5: Bully Ray, Bubba Ray, whatever you want to call him.
- 17:01Speaker 5: He doesn't like the show, but he has a podcast
- 17:04Speaker 5: where he's basically talking about this stuff like every day,
- 17:07Speaker 5: and he's on WWE LG, which kind of also goes
- 17:09Speaker 5: behind his scenes as well.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Yeah, so what if?
- 17:14Speaker 2: What if? With WWE Unreal there is a separate writer's
- 17:18Speaker 2: room for the writer's room, and all of it's just staged.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Part of it is I was gonna say, I've heard
- 17:25Speaker 4: about some of that.
- 17:26Speaker 5: Like Charlotte winning to Rumble, Apparently they told the women
- 17:30Speaker 5: in the locker room just to go out and celebrate.
- 17:32Speaker 5: They didn't tell them what it was for, but apparently
- 17:35Speaker 5: that was actually stage for this documentary. Not not every
- 17:40Speaker 5: single thing was like that, but that's just kind of
- 17:41Speaker 5: an example of some of it being staged.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Well, and actually reality TV in general is sort of
- 17:46Speaker 4: like that.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Well, I mean, there's no sort of to it. If
- 17:49Speaker 2: it's reality TV, why do you need writers?
- 17:52Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 17:52Speaker 2: Oh, wait, I'm sorry. If it's reality TV, why do
- 17:56Speaker 2: you need writers for it?
- 17:57Speaker 4: Huh?
- 17:57Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you need writers for reality?
- 18:02Speaker 4: I think the only reality TV show I can think
- 18:05Speaker 4: of that was mainly reality and not predetermined air quotes
- 18:14Speaker 4: was The Osbournes.
- 18:16Speaker 1: What about Hogan knows best?
- 18:18Speaker 2: Let me tell you about Hack Hogan.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Uh huh?
- 18:24Speaker 1: What does the bat do you think about taxidermy?
- 18:27Speaker 2: Here's what I think about taxidermy. Okay, because I've got
- 18:30Speaker 2: a pack of wild dogs. There's about fifty wild dogs
- 18:34Speaker 2: down in the Baja that all make me. You know,
- 18:37Speaker 2: they view me as their leader. They view me as
- 18:41Speaker 2: their leader down in the Baja. Fifty wild dogs through
- 18:47Speaker 2: Alice Laka, And that's why Chuck E. Cheese is behind
- 18:52Speaker 2: the glass doors of Area fifty one. Thank you, Thank
- 18:57Speaker 2: you for the insight. Batty, You're welcome.
- 19:00Speaker 4: Okay.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that we went about four and a
- 19:03Speaker 2: half hours on that.
- 19:04Speaker 4: It's okaymation, it's okay. We can get it in post.
- 19:08Speaker 2: We're gonna go grab a juice Baux and take me
- 19:10Speaker 2: a nap nap.
- 19:11Speaker 4: Okay, all right, real quick, before we do get to
- 19:14Speaker 4: on this day in wrestling history, WWE Speed is possibly canceled.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Oh No No.
- 19:22Speaker 4: Ww WE Speed, a weekly series on X aka Twitter
- 19:26Speaker 4: that features three minute matches or five minutes for the
- 19:29Speaker 4: title matches, has not aired any new episode since July ninth,
- 19:33Speaker 4: which has raised questions about its future. Two various news
- 19:38Speaker 4: sites are believing it has been quietly canceled, but WWE
- 19:41Speaker 4: nor X have made any comments on the status of
- 19:44Speaker 4: the show.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Who's speculating this, Who's watching it?
- 19:47Speaker 4: And both El Grande Americano and soul Ruka are still
- 19:51Speaker 4: listed as the reigning men and Women's Speed champions. Dave
- 19:55Speaker 4: Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer newsletter noted that WWE has
- 19:59Speaker 4: have not been taping any new episodes, and when he
- 20:01Speaker 4: tried to inquire about the status of the show through
- 20:04Speaker 4: his WWE sources, no one knew anything. WWE Speed launched
- 20:09Speaker 4: in April twenty twenty four and was on a two
- 20:11Speaker 4: year deal with X and had averaged about a million
- 20:15Speaker 4: viewers per episode.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you all this. Did you ever
- 20:18Speaker 2: watch it? Nope?
- 20:19Speaker 1: I've seen clips.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Okay, but you you never watched it? Can you guarantee
- 20:24Speaker 2: that it was from that? Like, without a shadow of
- 20:27Speaker 2: a doubt? I don't know, so I don't think the
- 20:30Speaker 2: show ever existed, Like there's there's no I know they
- 20:34Speaker 2: said there was a show, but I don't know of
- 20:37Speaker 2: a show, so I don't think there was.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Grand Americano is fake.
- 20:42Speaker 2: No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is
- 20:44Speaker 2: we're focusing on the wrong thing here. Okay, you all
- 20:48Speaker 2: are talking about a show, but there wasn't a show. Okay,
- 20:52Speaker 2: you you can talk about the show. But I think
- 20:55Speaker 2: what we really need to be talking about right now
- 20:58Speaker 2: is the fact that AJ Style is hinted at retirement.
- 21:02Speaker 4: Yes, we did on the list?
- 21:06Speaker 2: What list?
- 21:08Speaker 1: The list?
- 21:10Speaker 4: All? The one that I'm releasing in two weeks, Yes,
- 21:12Speaker 4: in two weeks time.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Well we'll find out. Yes, we'll find out in two
- 21:15Speaker 2: weeks who's on that list? At going to release the list.
- 21:19Speaker 4: At a Summer Slam kickoff event, AJ Styles was asked
- 21:23Speaker 4: by Michael Cole how important his upcoming match against Dominic
- 21:26Speaker 4: Masseiro is to him, considering that Styles has not held
- 21:30Speaker 4: the Intercontinental Championship in five years and he is getting older.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Well, that's usually how it works, Michael Cole. In five years,
- 21:37Speaker 2: you get older, you don't get younger.
- 21:38Speaker 4: It. Styles says that his SummerSlam might be his last
- 21:42Speaker 4: and that he is going to bring the house down.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Note that Styles has stated that he wants to retire
- 21:47Speaker 4: before he hits fifty. He just turned forty eight this
- 21:50Speaker 4: past June.
- 21:52Speaker 2: You see, that's why we're not talking about speed.
- 21:55Speaker 4: No, he's he's I mean, he has kind of lost
- 21:57Speaker 4: a step, but that happens.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's forty eight years old.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of kind of kind of happens, yeah, kind

- 24:35Speaker 2: ninety seven.
- 24:36Speaker 4: August third, nineteen ninety seven, WWF SummerSlam took place at
- 24:39Speaker 4: the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The
- 24:43Speaker 4: main event saw Brett the hit Man Heart defeat The
- 24:45Speaker 4: Undertaker for the WWF Championship. However, the event is best
- 24:50Speaker 4: known for being the night when Stone Cold Steve Austin
- 24:52Speaker 4: suffered a career altering broken neck at the hands of
- 24:55Speaker 4: a botched Owen Hart Tombstone pile driver which it really
- 24:59Speaker 4: was tombstone powder rivers.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I sit down, powder, sit up powder.
- 25:02Speaker 4: Yes, Austin managed to finish the match of a fashion
- 25:06Speaker 4: and win the Intercontinental title.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Did he make the list?
- 25:10Speaker 2: Maybe two weeks time. We will release the list.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Possibly August third, twenty twenty. On an episode of Monday
- 25:19Speaker 4: Night Raw from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida,
- 25:22Speaker 4: which was during the COVID Era with the No Fans,
- 25:25Speaker 4: Shane McMahon made his return to the company as the
- 25:28Speaker 4: central figure in the debut and raw Underground format that
- 25:31Speaker 4: saw several wrestlers compete in a fight club style setting.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Here's the best thing about that. I don't know if
- 25:37Speaker 2: people remember, you know, during the covid Era, but when
- 25:40Speaker 2: Shane McMahon made his return, he actually surfed down on
- 25:43Speaker 2: a surfboard of riding his own sweat.
- 25:48Speaker 4: He is a very sweaty man, very sweaty, very sweaty.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Very sweaty. Two weeks time, releasing the list.

- 26:32Speaker 2: greatest technical wrestlers of all time. Yeah. I can adamantly
- 26:35Speaker 2: say that Josh Cole is not on that list.
- 26:38Speaker 4: You could probably say that, like all three of us
- 26:40Speaker 4: are not on that list.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I was pretty technical, Yeah, I mean I I was
- 26:45Speaker 2: a wrestler.

- 26:54Speaker 4: That pretzels cheese. Anyway, Summer Slim Night two is to
- 27:00Speaker 4: night I'm here too. We also, we don't we don't

- 27:30Speaker 4: an update on that.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure they are dying to know yes, yeah,
- 27:33Speaker 2: we already gave our predictions on It's it's on the
- 27:37Speaker 2: previous nights, the previous episodes.
- 27:41Speaker 4: Rundown, It's on there. Yeah, yeah, we have proof. Actually,
- 27:46Speaker 4: Adam Harris was pretty, uh, pretty impressed that we write
- 27:49Speaker 4: everything down. I don't know why, but we do write
- 27:52Speaker 4: everything down.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Jesus.
- 27:55Speaker 4: We already gave our predictions. Like what I said, it
- 27:58Speaker 4: was not confirmed, which but it is in fact one
- 28:01Speaker 4: night two. Just to reiterate our picks. The match is
- 28:05Speaker 4: as follows. Oh boy, yeah, the Wyatt Six, Dexter Loomis
- 28:08Speaker 4: and Joe Gacy will be defending their WWE Tag team
- 28:12Speaker 4: titles in a six pack tables, ladders and chairs match
- 28:15Speaker 4: against Andrade and Ray Finnix versus Di Win, Johnny Gargano
- 28:20Speaker 4: and Tamasa Champa, Phraxium, Axiom and Nathan Fraser, The MotorCity
- 28:26Speaker 4: Machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin versus The Street Profits,
- 28:31Speaker 4: Angelo Dawkins and Montese Ford in a six pack tables,
- 28:34Speaker 4: leaders and chairs match. Josh and Jason both went with
- 28:38Speaker 4: the Wyatt Six.
- 28:39Speaker 7: I went with d I Wyhi, What do you think
- 28:44Speaker 7: there's a better tag team partner for Ray Finnix than Ondrade, what.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Like his brother what?
- 28:51Speaker 1: Maybe?
- 28:52Speaker 2: Yeah? Like Panta what?
- 28:53Speaker 1: I don't know. El Grande sounds.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Pretty good, that's true.
- 28:56Speaker 4: I mean nowand does there are three of them? It's okay,
- 29:01Speaker 4: it is a okay. So yeah, we got five matches
- 29:06Speaker 4: to pick from. First match, Solo Soko will be defending
- 29:09Speaker 4: his United States Championship in a steel cage match against
- 29:13Speaker 4: Jacob fought Too Josh.
- 29:18Speaker 5: Uh, Solo did just win the title month good Night
- 29:21Speaker 5: of champions. Yeah, but it's Jacob fat Tou but still
- 29:26Speaker 5: now has Talatanga.
- 29:27Speaker 4: He's he's tall Talatanga Knights.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, more like tall.
- 29:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I m I.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I think they're going to go with fau.
- 29:40Speaker 5: I just I don't see Sical beating him again inside
- 29:43Speaker 5: of steel cage.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I mean tall, it could probably just walk over to cage.
- 29:47Speaker 2: But you know, here's the thing, I'm gonna have to
- 29:49Speaker 2: agree with you, Josh. I'm not happy about it, but
- 29:52Speaker 2: I do think it's gonna be Jacob fat too, because
- 29:55Speaker 2: I'm thinking what's gonna happen is a tall one Tonga
- 30:00Speaker 2: is gonna step over and as he's getting in the ring,
- 30:02Speaker 2: he's gonna trip fall, bump, his head. Humpty dumpty can't
- 30:07Speaker 2: get put back together. So that's what's gonna happen.
- 30:14Speaker 4: You know, I don't know how you're gonna pick Solo
- 30:17Speaker 4: Sakoa in this. I know he just won the title,
- 30:20Speaker 4: but let's be honest. Do you want to be stuck
- 30:22Speaker 4: in the still cage with Jacob Flatu?
- 30:23Speaker 1: No?
- 30:24Speaker 4: No, no, I don't. I don't want to ever be
- 30:27Speaker 4: on Jacob Fatu's bat sets. I'm gonna go Jacob far two.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Next match. We talked about this briefly in the previous segment.
- 30:36Speaker 4: Dominic Mysterio will be defending his Intercontinental title against aj
- 30:41Speaker 4: Styles Josh.
- 30:45Speaker 5: I mean, if it is Style's last Summer Slam, you'd
- 30:48Speaker 5: want him to go out big on his last Summer Slam.
- 30:50Speaker 5: But I don't really think it's gonna be his last
- 30:52Speaker 5: Summer Slim because this it's just not gonna be his
- 30:54Speaker 5: last Summer Slam because he made the list.
- 30:57Speaker 2: We'll find out in two weeks time who's on the list. Yeah,
- 31:00Speaker 2: when I release it.
- 31:02Speaker 5: But there's also a possibility that WWE might want to
- 31:05Speaker 5: put the Triple A Mega Championship on Mysteriu, mak him
- 31:08Speaker 5: a double champion.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Do it mysterio.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Mysteriok, Jason, I'm gonna have to go with mysterio. I
- 31:16Speaker 2: don't think this will be aj styles last Summer Slam.
- 31:18Speaker 2: I think he'll at least have another one because if
- 31:21Speaker 2: he retires now, it's going to be overshadowed by everyone else.
- 31:26Speaker 4: That's that's true. And also I know he's been talking
- 31:29Speaker 4: about it. He's been pretty open openly talking about retirement,
- 31:32Speaker 4: but him outright saying that this is possibly his last
- 31:35Speaker 4: Summer Slam does seem like it's coming out of left field.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It's more just to the story.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I think maybe they it is. There is sort
- 31:43Speaker 4: of some k.
- 31:44Speaker 8: FA to it, because the WWE's official YouTube page posted
- 31:50Speaker 8: him stating that and them stating that this is you know,
- 31:54Speaker 8: this is what this maybe Styles's last Summer Slam or whatever.
- 31:57Speaker 8: That's actually where I went to see him say it,
- 32:01Speaker 8: so I can, you know, confirm it, but I'm going
- 32:04Speaker 8: to have to go mystereo.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if aj Styles retires, he's probably gonna
- 32:10Speaker 2: try to find the end of the world, that's true.
- 32:12Speaker 2: The edge, the edge of yes, the edge of the world. Well,
- 32:16Speaker 2: I think it's the cope of the world now.
- 32:18Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Yeah, two weeks releasing the list.
- 32:24Speaker 4: Becky Lynch defending her ww Women's inter Continental Championship and
- 32:30Speaker 4: the last Chance match. If Lynch wins, Valkyria can no
- 32:34Speaker 4: longer challenge for the title as long as Lynch is champion.
- 32:38Speaker 5: Josh, it'd be great for Labor Vaceria to get this
- 32:43Speaker 5: win back. Big win for her Summer Slam. It's huge,
- 32:46Speaker 5: biggest Summer Slam ever. But I think there's gonna be
- 32:49Speaker 5: some Bailey Shenanigans. She's not on this card, sadly, but
- 32:53Speaker 5: I think this is how she's gonna be on the card.
- 32:54Speaker 5: She's going to cost Vacia because she is the one
- 32:57Speaker 5: who prevented her from being in this match.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Becky Lynch, here's.
- 33:02Speaker 2: What I think, Jesus, it's gonna.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Be Valkia, big leest show for the w w U. E.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Where's my friend? Can't see him standing right next to me.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Gonna go Valkia. Yes, Yes, Valkyria.
- 33:30Speaker 4: All that lade up for Valkyria.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked.
- 33:36Speaker 4: We talked the last segment about WWE's booking tendencies and
- 33:45Speaker 4: making the loser in a given match look stronger going
- 33:50Speaker 4: into the show. They do have a habit of doing that. Yes,
- 33:54Speaker 4: Liar Valkyria really just whooped up on Becky Lynch. So
- 34:04Speaker 4: with that being said, and with them making her look
- 34:07Speaker 4: stronger before the ple e, I'm gonna have to go Lynch. Yeah,
- 34:12Speaker 4: that's just I Just like I said, if you watch
- 34:15Speaker 4: a promotion, no matter even if it's not if it's
- 34:18Speaker 4: not WWE, whatever, any promotion, you will start to see
- 34:21Speaker 4: that Booker's booking tendencies.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Like Booker t Yes, can you dig it?
- 34:27Speaker 4: Sucker?
- 34:28Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes.
- 34:29Speaker 4: Triple threat match for the Women's World Championship. Naomi will
- 34:33Speaker 4: be defending her title against Rhea Ripley.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Jeff prove It.
- 34:40Speaker 4: And EO Sky Josh, who do you got?
- 34:47Speaker 1: This could have been a Michael Hayes. Hey, we gotta
- 34:49Speaker 1: put the title on Naomi.
- 34:50Speaker 5: She's got a lot of lot going on, you know,
- 34:52Speaker 5: this new gimmick, which actually I kind of like the
- 34:54Speaker 5: new gimmick I think.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Yeah, the caution tape, Yeah yeah, I like your character
- 34:59Speaker 1: the best. Now it's everything.
- 35:00Speaker 5: Anyways, she just got the title, big money, big cash,
- 35:03Speaker 5: and I could see Rio Ripley winners.
- 35:06Speaker 1: I could see us guy, I could see Ripley more so.
- 35:09Speaker 1: But I'm gonna Naomi. I don't think they're gonna.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Take it offered as soon, although Ripley and stepping about
- 35:14Speaker 5: Kerr will be a better match of Clash and Castle
- 35:16Speaker 5: or even.
- 35:16Speaker 2: A US guy.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Here's the thing, baby, it seemed like anybody going to
- 35:20Speaker 3: be a better match than Naomi. So here's what I'm
- 35:23Speaker 3: thinking is gonna happen. I think what's gonna happen here?
- 35:28Speaker 2: Baby?
- 35:28Speaker 3: If Naomi is gonna win? And why if Naomi gonna win, baby,
- 35:35Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 35:37Speaker 5: I guess it should be clarified whoever wins this is
- 35:40Speaker 5: defending the title again.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Stepping about Kerry clash in Paris later this month.
- 35:43Speaker 3: If the thing, baby, I don't like going again, mimy
- 35:46Speaker 3: real Ripley, Baby, but I'm going to in this case
- 35:49Speaker 3: when I say it's gonna be Naom likes Taxider me,
- 35:58Speaker 3: Yes she does.
- 35:59Speaker 1: I gotta go too headed duck.
- 36:02Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna have to go Naomi myself. Why do
- 36:08Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like it is sort of
- 36:10Speaker 4: a j Uso type situation. Yeah, there's also some of that.
- 36:18Speaker 4: Rea Ripley makes the most sense. Uh. We talked off
- 36:22Speaker 4: the air, Jason said that Ria Ripley is definitely the
- 36:25Speaker 4: bigger drawl between three of us.
- 36:27Speaker 2: I do believe she is.
- 36:28Speaker 4: Yes between the three of them, so she makes the
- 36:31Speaker 4: most sense I would I would venture to say that EO.
- 36:34Speaker 4: Sky is the better technical wrestler amongst them. But it
- 36:41Speaker 4: seems like management is wanting to strap the rocket to
- 36:45Speaker 4: Naomi's back and shoot her to the moon with a push.
- 36:50Speaker 4: So that's why I I don't see her dropping the title.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I mean she could.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Finally the main event, and there's been some rumors on
- 37:02Speaker 4: the line about this. John Cena will be defending his
- 37:05Speaker 4: undisputed WWE championship in a straight fight against one Cody Road.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Cody Road, if you will, Baby.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Josh apparently seeing him might be faced now he becuts
- 37:19Speaker 5: a face promo and SmackDown.
- 37:21Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. Maybe I don't know, we'll see it.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Seems like you own should in baby.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure. Could be a double turn, could
- 37:28Speaker 1: be Rock coming back, Sena.
- 37:32Speaker 3: You know what I think needs to happen, Baby, I
- 37:34Speaker 3: think Rock needs to come back. Baby on a bythickle, because.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Way to get that bath thickle? Yeah, he got a bythickle? Baby,
- 37:42Speaker 4: one of them does these greatest calls?
- 37:44Speaker 2: Yeah? Ever?
- 37:45Speaker 1: Yes, if a double turn does happen.
- 37:48Speaker 5: I almost feel like so, I think Seenea is gonna
- 37:50Speaker 5: retain regardless, but I could see the double turn happening.
- 37:53Speaker 5: After the match, Rock comes out Cody, they beat down Sena.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Why would Rock then side with a losing Cody.
- 38:05Speaker 1: So that Cody will beat Seena in the retirement match?
- 38:09Speaker 4: Or or you don't have Rock come out?
- 38:15Speaker 1: Oh you don't know, Travis Scott.
- 38:17Speaker 4: No, Travis Scott. Travis Scott's not I hate is the
- 38:19Speaker 4: only platinum rapper here.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Yes, so who comes out?
- 38:24Speaker 4: Nobody?
- 38:24Speaker 2: Nobody comes out? You don't. So it's twenty five. It's okay, Yeah,
- 38:29Speaker 2: I know.
- 38:30Speaker 4: I will let real quick, I'm gonna throw it to you. Okay,
- 38:32Speaker 4: I'm gonna let you give your pick, and then I'm
- 38:34Speaker 4: gonna give my assumption on all of this.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Okay, my observation Roads Roads, I'm picking Cody Roads. Yeah, okay,
- 38:44Speaker 2: because the Rock has no use for someone who is
- 38:48Speaker 2: leaving the company. Yeah, and then it will be the
- 38:52Speaker 2: Rock John Cena three.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Mmmm, That right, babe. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Baby,
- 39:03Speaker 3: I'm making you think now, babytime thrift, Baby thrift thrift.
- 39:09Speaker 4: It's like rice with with so it's like Survivor series.
- 39:15Speaker 2: No Baby Wrettlemania.
- 39:17Speaker 4: But well then they'll be at the Theory, the Baby.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Or whatever big events in December. That's his retirement, that's right.
- 39:26Speaker 4: The Christmas Show, Baby, the Christmas Show.
- 39:30Speaker 2: What is the December two deth member Baby. They're bringing
- 39:35Speaker 2: it back for Death Show Baby. Yeah, maybe Survivor series. Well,
- 39:41Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean it might be after Survivor series.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Maybe they'll do Team Rock Team Sina. Yeah, I don't know.
- 39:52Speaker 4: Yeah, so yes, I'm going to go Sena. But I
- 39:59Speaker 4: don't think a double turn is going to happen. No, well,
- 40:03Speaker 4: I think the start seeing a face now or is
- 40:06Speaker 4: he not? I follow me on this, I don't. I
- 40:10Speaker 4: think there was for a walk down Memory Lane. Sena
- 40:17Speaker 4: with that promo, he did come off as baboo dooo,
- 40:21Speaker 4: as like an act as a face, but it came
- 40:23Speaker 4: off like a heel trying to be a face. He
- 40:25Speaker 4: did this weird little eye wink at Cody exactly. So
- 40:29Speaker 4: I feel like Sena is doing that to Lore Cody
- 40:33Speaker 4: in to eventually beat him Cody, then Cody, then he
- 40:46Speaker 4: loses seen the celebrating He's Scott without Travis Scott, nobody
- 40:53Speaker 4: nobody interferes, not even Flavor.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Flav who is the guy was seeing it back in
- 40:58Speaker 1: the day.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Be squared well by Cannon, Yeah, that guy be squared.
- 41:10Speaker 4: Sena is celebrating and everything. Cody leaves the ring, goes
- 41:14Speaker 4: to the back, bumpy knuckles, bumpy knuckles, Baby, no bad
- 41:21Speaker 4: bad man.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Cody goes back and he in whatever way you want to,
- 41:28Speaker 4: either he pulls up in like a limo, or he
- 41:29Speaker 4: just crosses paths with him. He runs in the Rock
- 41:34Speaker 4: and you'll leave it there. You don't say nothing else.
- 41:38Speaker 4: Cody is talking to Cody and the Rock are talking.
- 41:41Speaker 5: Now.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I wouldn't have him talking. Just the face off off.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Exactly, leave it, leave it on a cliffhanger. Sena celebrating
- 41:50Speaker 4: in the ring. Sena, Uh, Cody, the Rock, they just
- 41:55Speaker 4: they're just looking at each other. You see the the
- 41:58Speaker 4: little little trademark at the bottom fade.
- 42:01Speaker 5: The black or maybe not at SummerSlam, but at the
- 42:03Speaker 5: post event press conference that too.
- 42:06Speaker 4: Somewhere in there, yeah, somewhere somewhere after the after the match.
- 42:12Speaker 4: I think, uh, I think if you want to get
- 42:16Speaker 4: the most eyes on it, you do it at the show.
- 42:18Speaker 4: You don't do it at the press conference, because not
- 42:20Speaker 4: everybody watches the press conference. You could do it there
- 42:24Speaker 4: and then let social media do what social media does.
- 42:27Speaker 2: I mean there was the Kevin Owens Cody Rhodes beat
- 42:31Speaker 2: down that.
- 42:31Speaker 5: That was a cool thing from the document because that
- 42:33Speaker 5: was Tripleh's idea, just to hopefully I have fan caught that.
- 42:36Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, which it works. Yeah, you can do that,
- 42:42Speaker 4: but I would rather see it there and then like
- 42:45Speaker 4: have Cody go to the press conference, like like, have
- 42:48Speaker 4: Cody walk into the press conference. He runs in the Rock,
- 42:50Speaker 4: fade the black right there, doesn't like we don't know
- 42:53Speaker 4: what's happening. They're done. We're going to the press conference
- 42:57Speaker 4: where you know, you got the little kickoff like hey,
- 42:58Speaker 4: we're gonna be live and like minutes and then you
- 43:01Speaker 4: see Cody walking on there. He's the first one, and
- 43:03Speaker 4: you get somebody, You find some reporter down there, whether
- 43:08Speaker 4: it's John Ross Sap or whoever. You pull them to
- 43:11Speaker 4: the side like, hey, I went the first question. I
- 43:13Speaker 4: want you to ask the first question, why what was
- 43:16Speaker 4: your conversation with the Rock? What did you just talk
- 43:18Speaker 4: to the Rock about so and he says nothing.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Do you eventually think that Cody is going to side
- 43:23Speaker 2: with the Rock.
- 43:26Speaker 4: I think there is signs of that. Cody has mentioned
- 43:29Speaker 4: that his face run sort of is run its course,
- 43:34Speaker 4: it's we've come full circle with it, which might be
- 43:37Speaker 4: him starting to plant the seeds. Get him desperate with that,
- 43:43Speaker 4: with getting the title off of Sena. Keep seeing a
- 43:46Speaker 4: heel for now, but slowly start turning him back to
- 43:49Speaker 4: a face. That way he at least retires as a face.
- 43:52Speaker 2: Okay, well hear me out. Okay, Okay. Jimmy usso is
- 43:56Speaker 2: doing nothing right yep? Okay. So before the Cody Sena match,
- 44:05Speaker 2: Jimmy us or someone that we don't know.
- 44:08Speaker 1: Well, I should say Jimmy is sort of helping Fatu
- 44:11Speaker 1: with that.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. He he hits John Cena with a car
- 44:17Speaker 2: before the Cody Rhods match. Yep, okay, and Cody Rhodes
- 44:21Speaker 2: is freaking out about this. He's like, Jimmy, why would
- 44:23Speaker 2: you do this? Why would you hit John Cena before
- 44:26Speaker 2: my match? And Jimmy says, I did it.
- 44:30Speaker 4: For the Rock. For those of you that don't realize,
- 44:37Speaker 4: that's a reference to his dad, Rickishi. Yeah, from back
- 44:41Speaker 4: in ninety nine, Yeah, like late ninety nine.
