Introduction and Recent Events
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to the Chick Foley Show.
00:00:23
Speaker
What is up, Foley fan? We are back with some crown jewel wrap up. This is a little bit of an impromptu episode of the Chick Foley show. We weren't planning on going on, but we were so sports entertained as Sid Vicious just fell over on our figure shelf. That was that noise you heard if the mic picked that up. But we were so sports entertained this afternoon that we had to get the game together to talk some wrestling. So before we go any further, let's introduce the stars of the show. Sheena, how you doing?
00:00:48
Speaker
Doing good. Feels good to be here after Crown Jewel. Feels good to be here on a Saturday night, so it's not a weeknight. Feels- And the afternoon pay-per-view. The afternoon pay-per-view, yeah. I feel refreshed. Man, I feel like I was back on the island, so it's good stuff. Marco, what's going on up in Massachusetts?
00:01:06
Speaker
Nothing much. Just enjoying the, I know how much Sheena loves this, about 75 degree weather over here in November, which is insane to me. It's kind of scary, but at the same time, very refreshing on my end. So yeah. I know. I've been holding off planting my garlic. You know, I hate the weather talk, but I have this garlic that's been waiting to be planted, but I'm like, damn it, it's too warm.
Halloween Reminiscences
00:01:27
Speaker
Like if you plant it, you know, it's supposed to overwinter. So if you plant it,
00:01:30
Speaker
and it's too warm, it's just not going to work out for the spring. So yeah, the weather's really effing with my farm plans. Jordan, speaking of the farm, what's up out in Nebraska, man? Oh man, just another college football Saturday in Nebraska in the book. So it was kind of enjoyable to win. No, absolutely not. The Huskies didn't win.
00:01:49
Speaker
Okay, guys. Well, we had a good run. Now the Huskers did not win. I enjoyed getting the pay-per-view in, so I didn't have to enjoy the Huskers losing again, so it was a nice day. I drank all day, so good day.
Network Shows and Promotions
00:02:06
Speaker
Hell yeah, man.
00:02:08
Speaker
And Sheena, tell us what's new on the farm. Not a whole lot's new. Same old, same old, been, you know, like I said before, winterizing the farm, waiting to plant garlic. So you guys, I'm sure you guys are enthralled to hear that. All the garlic lovers out there are just licking their chops. How was you guys Halloween, man? Did all the kids get loaded down with candy, Marco?
00:02:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah, we had a there's a there was a parade in our our town that they did the day before. So they loaded up their bags there. They had like, you know, people coming by tossing candy and stuff like that. So they got a little got a little practice run before before the big day. And then the next day, yeah, they they they loaded up. We're so we're still eating some candy. So it's always a good thing. But yeah, it was awesome. I stayed home and pass our candy. That was my job.
00:02:58
Speaker
Yeah. How was Zoe's haul this year, Jordan? It was good, man. She's starting to get a little bit older now, so she doesn't care about it as much. She just likes the costume part of it, and then we did four blocks, and she was done with it. She's like, my bag is really heavy. I'm like, let me hold it. It's like two pounds. I'm like, we used to fill pillowcases that were 40 pounds of candy. What's wrong with you? She's like, yeah, I'm done.
00:03:22
Speaker
Yeah, we had a low take this year too. We went to this neighborhood about 20 minutes from here. They call it Halloween Cove where every single house is just decked out to the nines with all the decorations, but it attracted a big crowd. We found it wasn't the best for trick-or-treating. We were actually having to wait in line to go up and get candy and stuff. The kids were pretty much eating the candy they'd get before they got to the next house.
00:03:45
Speaker
We don't got that bank of candy. Last year, I felt like we were eating Halloween candy for months. It's to our benefit. I'm actually not mad that we don't have a big haul of candy around here. Speak for yourself. Yeah, Seth is mad. When Seth went to buy our Halloween candy, because we typically over buy Halloween candy, when Seth went to buy our Halloween candy this year, he's like, I'm going to buy the stuff that I like so that that way when it's all left over, I can...
00:04:07
Speaker
I'll be the one... We got cleaned out, man. I left the milk crate full of candy with Bray Wyatt's lantern sitting next to it out at the edge of the driveway. I don't know if we had that many trick-or-treaters, if some greedy little bastard just picked us clean. I think for the most part. Somebody said that there's a lot of trick-or-treaters around here, so I think it was probably just got picked over.
00:04:28
Speaker
All right. So that's you guys, uh, outside the ring update for this week. We want to remind you guys to use code chick Foley to save 10% at ringside collectibles on all your figure purchases. The, uh, the black Friday and cyber Monday sales should be coming up pretty soon. And they always have some, some pretty amazing deals on figures. Uh, Sheena, tell the listeners about the pod foundation. So you can find all of our pod brethren over at pod foundation on Instagram.
00:04:53
Speaker
We have the extra cooler show, the guys over there bringing you all the nostalgia. We got Turnbuckle Tavern. I mean, there's nothing that Turnbuckle Tavern's not doing, but their flagship show where they give you all the AEW rundown is one of my favorites of the week and the debate as well.
00:05:09
Speaker
Ouch. So no love for the raw down or long balls. The show's your actual co-host. Yeah, man. That's just a hate. Jesus Christ, dude. She went out of her way to shout out the
Crown Jewel Recap
00:05:20
Speaker
two shows that we aren't involved in. What's up with that, fellas? Well, if you can't put yourself over, then I don't know what you're doing here, dude. You know? Well, you just got really no soul.
00:05:31
Speaker
I know. She doubled down on it. Well, if there's two shows that you shouldn't listen to, it's definitely don't listen to the raw down and don't listen to long ball. That's probably Turnbuckle Tavern's worst speed that they have. We're about to get future endeavor tonight. What do you want me to say? I know, man. I'm about to unplug Tina's headphones. You're done here. Bro, he had to cut me off because he was feeling insecure about his potting. It was just a joke.
00:06:00
Speaker
We'll move on. Yeah, definitely check out Turnbuckle Tavern though and hit up coming down the aisle as well. John's been cranking out some really good podcasts and he's moving into a new house. So good luck with that. So his feet will probably be lying low for a few weeks. Yeah. I think that's about it. Anybody else got anything they want to talk about before we get into Crown Jewel? Nope.
00:06:25
Speaker
No, I'm good. All right. So we started off with the big meaty men slapping meat, Brock Lesnar against Bobby Lashley. Marco, what did you think of the opener of Crown Jewel?
00:06:39
Speaker
I thought it was going to be a lot better than, you know, because the first time around, it was kind of a fluke win for Bobby Lashley because they had the ongoing Roman Reigns storyline with Brock Lesnar happening and all this stuff. And this match kind of came out of the blue anyway, so the build up to it was pretty good.
00:06:59
Speaker
I think the end of the match kind of ruined it for me. It seemed like it was a failed reversal for a pin on Brock's part or maybe they were just going for that controversy for the win so they can go a third round.
00:07:16
Speaker
I thought they were going for like the Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, WrestleMania 8 finish and just kind of bossed it a little bit. I mean, they're definitely not as nimble as Roddy and Bret. You know what I mean? You just got two big behemoths like rolling over each other. It's not going to be as smooth as...
00:07:36
Speaker
Jordan, what'd you think of it, man? Did you get a chance? I know you've got into the show a little late. Did you get a chance to go back and watch this? Yeah, I went back and watched it. I was kind of surprised, man. Bobby Lashley kind of got in his ass for the majority of that match. I was honestly kind of thinking he was going to win after watching that. But I mean, it was what it was. It's just two bigger guys. I mean, I'm not expecting a five star classic out of them. So it was a good match. Yeah, the ending wasn't the greatest. But I mean, for what it was, I enjoyed the match.
00:08:02
Speaker
Yeah, I thought it was almost like a throwback to the Vince McMahon booking style. It was 50-50 for sure, because Brock got the pinfall. But like he said, Jordan, Bobby Lashley dominated most of the action. And then he ended up standing tall after the match as well. So clearly they're setting up for a rematch down the road. And I think it will be good, because both those guys are just really tremendous performers right there. Do you think Lashley could end up winning this feud?
00:08:28
Speaker
Yeah, I think this would be a good one for him, honestly. I mean, Brock really has nothing left to do. Him beating Bobby Lashley in a feud ain't doing anything for his career. So I feel like this would be a good one for Bobby Lashley. Agreed. Yeah, it seems like it'd be a good time for Brock to kind of move into the like that late run for the Hulk Hogan had in like 2005 where he's just
00:08:49
Speaker
putting people over, you know, because it went over Brock does still matter. Um, but it'll be interesting. We're definitely gonna get a rematch sometime soon.
Bray Wyatt Storyline Speculations
00:08:56
Speaker
Maybe it's survivor series. So should be pretty good. Then we had the women's tag team championship. The rematch from the main event of raw damage control went up against Oscar and Alexa Sheen. What'd you think of this one?
00:09:08
Speaker
I thought it was a good match. I'm always taken a little bit out of it because I just, you know, I don't know. I mean, I'm glad the women are getting to wrestle in Saudi, but I just, it still is just like icky to me that, you know, they got it like, we just saw like two half naked men like bumping their meat everywhere. And then, you know, the women like their, their face and their hands are showing. Other than that, though, you know, all politics aside, I thought it was, you know, it was a good match. It was a lot of fun. Um, the,
00:09:34
Speaker
I just can't care, I can't care less about the women's tag titles, you know? So the actual like title defense really didn't mean anything to me. Like it just, it's, it's horrible. Like, I don't know. I'm ready for them to get rid of the women's tag titles to be quite honest. There's just not enough tag teams, man. They, uh, you know, you had the Iconics, um, Sasha and Bailey, I'd call them a real team. And then like Oscar and Kyrie saying, what were they like the Kabuki Warriors? Like, has there been any true women's tag teams aside from those?
00:10:04
Speaker
Not that I can think of. I mean, even Damage Control, I mean, yeah, they're a faction, but they still seem like a slapped together faction anyways. Tamina and Naya was pretty cool when they were together, like the Samoan Slaughterhouse, whatever they were called. But yeah, I'd be in favor of scrapping that and maybe coming up with a secondary women's title. And now we have two sets, man. We have those and the NXT women's titles. Remember, when they first debuted those, they said that they were going to be across all three brands.
00:10:33
Speaker
Yeah, I don't really get what they're doing anyways. Jordan, what do you think is the deal with Nikki Cross? Where are we going with this Nikki Cross storyline? I don't know, man. It definitely looks like it's starting to get some legs to it. I don't know. There's been a lot of mentions of different things. I know Seth doesn't think Bray's getting a faction, whatever. It is what it is. But I mean, that's what a lot of people think she's doing. I don't think that's what she's doing.
00:10:59
Speaker
I don't know. I mentioned that today when she came out, I was like, oh, look, they did the little behind the scenes backstage interview with Asuka and Alexa, and they had that little Bray screen where he came on the screen, and Alexa got a little bit disturbed. Then all of a sudden, Nicki came out. If you remember,
00:11:19
Speaker
Alexa and Nikki were a tag team. Speaking of tag teams, they were a tag team whenever Alexa started like kind of turning into like, you know, the Fiend style Alexa, and she kind of turned on on Nikki and stuff. So maybe it's just kind of like reverse role reversal. And Nikki's, you know, working for Bray now. That'd be cool. Where are we at on a faction watch? You know, me and Jordan argue about this a lot. You know, what do you think is Bray gonna have a faction or no faction?
00:11:43
Speaker
I mean, at first I thought when, you know, the whole Wyatt Six thing, I was like, yeah, he's definitely going to have a faction. And I believe Bray is better with a faction because that he can send the lackeys out to do his work where he doesn't have to be on screen, you know, week after week and all that kind of stuff. Right. But I don't know all the, all these vignettes and everything, it's making me feel like he's just got multiple personality
Match Critiques and Speculations
00:12:02
Speaker
disorder. You know, like it's all like in his mind, you know, it's not really a tangible faction of other wrestlers. Marco, what do you think faction or no faction?
00:12:12
Speaker
If you listen to Rawdown, we definitely talk about this a lot. We definitely think he's not going to have a faction. We think the Wyatt Six is pretty much his different personalities. They go on a different route this time with Bray, not having him rely on different people.
00:12:33
Speaker
And basically like let his creativity flow and see where this goes. Cause I'm actually pretty intrigued at what they're doing right now with these, like with, with the uncle, howdy character. And obviously they're going to introduce another character at some point, uh, cause they did a trademark for another name. Um, that was kind of weird. Yeah. But how, but how long, how long are we going to let these like middle of the ring, um, promos happen until people start to sour on it and be like, what are we doing here?
00:13:01
Speaker
It's a good question. I've been entertained. I feel you though, yeah. Because they're so cryptic. You feel like there needs to be another plot turn or something. But I don't know. I'm still captivated right now. I just love the entrance. I'm loving his new theme music also. Yeah, it's really good. Jordan, you're definitely. It's Brit's favorite song. We can literally recite every beat of that song.
00:13:24
Speaker
So Jordan's on Jordan's on faction island all by himself right now, but Jordan I will I will give credit where it's due, you know, we talked after I was giving you shit that first episode we taped after After Bray returned about how you were like, you know already booking him into the main event of WrestleMania I told Sheena today. I I don't know how they get there I don't know what the storyline is gonna be but I do think it needs to be Bray and
00:13:46
Speaker
and Roman cause the bloodline and whatever Bray is doing right now, that feels like the two biggest things going on in wrestling. So why not have him just collide at the, the biggest stage possible. What did you think, man? Are you still feeling Bray, uh, taking on Roman sometime down the road, Jordan? Yeah.
00:14:01
Speaker
I am with, under the thing, what you were talking about, Seth, I don't know how long I'm going to be okay with, or Sheena said, okay with these cryptic promos in the ring every week, like I don't want to see this. That's kind of why I prefer this to be a faction. I don't want to see six different sides of Bray Wyatt. I don't need that. Two is plenty for me. I don't need
00:14:23
Speaker
Because dude, it's going to at some point, it's going to get annoying, right? Because you got to imagine they're going to do this shit. We've seen it. We've seen it happen before. And they're going to remember when they just used to have break him up on the screen and just cut those cryptic promos over and over and over every week. Well, and they're going to these are going to run into his matches to like Uncle Howdy is going to come on the screen in the middle of a match. And it's just going to I don't know, man, I just feel like this is going to take away from what Bray is actually good at.
00:14:48
Speaker
I don't know. I really hope it's a faction. I mean, if it's not, I'm sure I'll still enjoy it, but I just feel like this is going to run its course really fast. Yeah, we'll see. It definitely feels different from pretty much everything else they're doing right now, but that's always been the story with Bray to a certain extent.
00:15:09
Speaker
All right, we're getting inside the solid steel cage. Drew McIntyre versus Karrion Kross. This is where Jordan jumped into the show. I know you got some thoughts on this one, man. What did you think of this cage match? So for me, this kind of just felt like a weekly TV show match. I don't know, man. Drew, he had half of his moment at Clash of the Castle. I just feel like since then, I mean, him and Kross are running this.
00:15:38
Speaker
Feud and I just I don't know man. There's just nothing to this for me I just feel like this is just a weekly feud and I could take it or leave it I mean the match itself was fine It was what it was. I mean the scarlet thing at the end was cool But I don't know man. This feud just does nothing for me at all
00:15:58
Speaker
Yeah, I've never been up on Karrion Kross, man. He had his big rise to prominence while I was on deployment. Who just popped the top? Me.
00:16:09
Speaker
Nice, dude. I'm about to crack a fresh one here in just a sec, man. He had his rise to prominence when I was on that deployment in early 2020. And when I got back, I just didn't see what the big deal was. I always thought Scarlett was the star of that act, and Karyan was kind of just like the tag along.
00:16:29
Speaker
And I haven't really been captivated by this last main roster run either. The other thing is, dude, I got a soft spot for Steel Cage matches. Growing up when we grew up, the Steel Cage match, before Hell in the Cell, Steel Cage was the ultimate blow off to a feud. That's where you're going to end the storyline.
00:16:47
Speaker
And this
WarGames and Survivor Series Predictions
00:16:48
Speaker
didn't feel like that at all. It wasn't that violent. The finish was cool, it was creative, but I don't want a cute finish like that in a steel cage match. I want to see somebody definitively go over to put a period on it. And this felt like just another chapter in the feud instead of the end of it. Yeah, they both walked out at the end. Like, dude, somebody needs to get the shit beat out of them in a steel cage match. And I don't feel like we got that at all.
00:17:12
Speaker
Drew is supposed to supposedly this like, you know top car guy main eventer and he's letting Scarlett distract him from outside of the cage So she can't even get into the cage and he's just like staring at her like duh Meanwhile, like, you know carrion's like winding up behind him. I'm just like
00:17:27
Speaker
For fuck's sake, Drew. What are you doing here? Dude, you guys know I'm the king of kayfabe, man. The distraction is the biggest weakness that Drew has. He got distracted today just by Scarlett gently shaking the cage. Rattling the cage. Remember, WrestleMania 37, we all thought Drew was going in to get his moment in front of the crowd and beat Bobby Lashley for the belt. He's sitting up for the claymore to knock Bobby Lashley's head off, and MVP just says,
00:17:52
Speaker
It's true. He just yelled at him and just completely threw him off. Next thing you know, he's in the hurt lock passing out. It's like Brock Lesnar getting hit in the balls, dude. Some of those guys, they have that one Achilles heel that no matter what, they just can't get over. I think the distraction thing is actually just a straight up part of his character at this point. Yeah. It's not a good one, but you know.
00:18:13
Speaker
Marco, what do you think, man? How are you feeling about carrying Cross's run so far since he's been back on SmackDown? Do you think he's going to end up being in the main event scene, or do you think he's just going to hang around the upper mid-card? I think I'll give him a shot at the main event scene. I'm not sure how long he'll be there, but I think him having this feud with Drew McIntyre definitely helps him out more than anything. I don't want to say it doesn't help Drew McIntyre out, but it definitely elevates
00:18:43
Speaker
carrying having a feud with Drew McIntyre and it does seem like they're gonna you know Go forth with this because obviously you'll carry in one one drew one one now you get that third that third and final match hopefully That ends this feud, but I was actually just reading that because I thought the match was kind of weird
00:19:01
Speaker
But it was kind of a fast match too. And I was actually just reading that Drew McIntyre has been suffering with the flu or something like that for the past week. But he insisted on having the match anyway. So I kind of make sense at why it was just like, eh, it wasn't like his...
00:19:21
Speaker
It wasn't like one of his like good matches. If anything, I thought this match was going to be like a really like captivating match. But now knowing that it kind of makes sense why it wasn't really, you know, I know when a man has a cold, it's like, I mean, it's devastating. Well, he got hit with that pepper spray from Scarlett. So that should help clear out his science. I'm not sure what that does for the flu, but I know definitely a cold will definitely help out. Man, flu definitely takes you down a couple of matches. That's for sure. Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:51
Speaker
We, uh, I know we kind of shit on this match. I do want to give some props to drew. I think he is like, what is one of like the hardest things to become in, in wrestling nowadays is a true over baby face,
Crown Jewel Match Analysis and Drinks
00:20:02
Speaker
right? I'd never hear like, I feel like I'd never hear like a mixed reaction or any of the boo birds coming out for him. Even somebody like mocks against certain opponents. Sometimes mocks doesn't get, you know, the a hundred percent support. Uh, do you guys think drew is the top baby face in wrestling right now in wrestling overall? Yeah.
00:20:22
Speaker
I'm talking like pure white meat babyface, man. I can't... Probably. I mean, Hangman was... If you asked me last year, I'd say Hangman was, but I feel like Hangman doesn't really get the response. I'm talking strictly from the crowd reactions they get, because to me, Nick Gage is the best babyface in wrestling. Nick Gage is the best babyface out there, man. But I think at least for AWWB, is there anybody that gets the universal love that Drew's getting right now?
00:20:49
Speaker
Daniel Bryan generally gets cheered almost every match that he's in. So he's probably second after his first. I mean, Daniel Bryan's a good call. Yeah, you might have to throw Sami Zayn in there right now, too. At some point, because that crowd is red. I love Sami Zayn. Yeah.
00:21:07
Speaker
Daniel Bryan, man, he's not to get too far away from Crown Jewel. I feel like he's just, dude, he's too humble for his own good at this point, man. He needs to be in the main event in AW. I feel like he's kind of almost getting lost in the shuffle a little bit over there. Yeah. He's learned to step back and not rattle the damn cage because then everything just fucking explodes in your face, dude. Yep. It's like, Jesus. That's what she said. Oh, God. OK, let's go to the next match.
00:21:36
Speaker
All right after the steel cage match we had the six-man tag to me This was definitely this could have been on any episode of raw from the last six weeks I know it was you know taken aside from the fact that it was Gallows Anderson's big return to action that this really could have been like any anytime in the last two months and Would have been right in place. We got the standard rear Ripley interference I really thought that this was gonna be the the time when we saw somebody come in to kind of counteract her and
00:22:04
Speaker
Who do you think is going to be seen though? Because they got to bring in a female eventually to kind of even the odds. I mean, honestly, I don't even know who they could bring in other than like a legit fighter at this point that would even be, I mean, Charlotte, maybe. I mean, who, like, I can't think of anybody on the roster right now that I think is a contender that would be believable.
00:22:26
Speaker
against Rhea. I mean, obviously Rhonda, but who wants to see that? Jordan, I know you're a little bit more hip to the international scene than us, man. Has there ever been any female wrestlers involved with the Bullet Club? No. It's always been males.
00:22:45
Speaker
New Japan until this year really hasn't even focused on any women's wrestling at all. And now they're kind of getting it started. Um, but yeah, it's, they don't really do women's wrestling over there.
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah, Beth Phoenix makes the most sense storyline wise, obviously, because Rhea took her out, but I feel like... Yeah, we can come back with that edge. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, she's got that tag along edge that's going to be there, so that doesn't really work out in numbers wise, unless Judgment Day adds another member, so I don't really know. Or maybe they just keep dominating because of Rhea. I mean, she does look great with what she's doing right now. They've built her up to be unstoppable.
00:23:18
Speaker
And Judgment Day is getting a hell of a push, man. They are behind Judgment Day. I know that was kind of on the dirt sheets that Finn was going to be one of the people that benefited the most from Triple H taking over, and that's definitely been the case. What do you guys think, man? Is it going to be Judgment Day involved in war games at Survivor Series?
00:23:36
Speaker
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think that's gonna happen. I think dude, I think Raquel would be a great person to be with OC. Honestly, I feel like I know she's on Smackdown, but I don't know, man, she just seems like she would fit well with those three guys.
00:23:51
Speaker
Yeah, that would be cool. Yeah, it feels awesome. Yeah, and she's and she doesn't really have any history really with with most of those. So like she could just kind of pop in and like just do a backstage and she could show up backstage and just tell AJ like, hey, I'm here to help. And that's all you need. Yeah. Yeah. You can you can have I mean, Charlotte, it would be a good way for her to return to.
00:24:13
Speaker
You know, no one that like her and AJ Styles are like they're like buddies and in real life anyway. So that might happen. Oh, yeah. Didn't they didn't didn't Charlotte and AJ win like the mix match challenge? Yeah, they were the phenomenal flair. That was their name.
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. OK, so yeah, maybe Charlotte comes back. That would be a great way to bring her back into the fold. What are you guys thinking right now? Now that we kind of mentioned Spire Series, what are you guys seeing for War Games? Like, at first, I was thinking maybe Bloodline, but I don't know. I can't really see Roman doing War Games. I feel like War Games is almost like below. He doesn't have to do it, though. The rest of the Bloodline can do War Games. True. I mean, is it five of them, though? They said it's going to be five on five. Yeah, it's five on five this year.
00:24:58
Speaker
Maybe they'll bring in Naomi. They had the they had the they had the commercial today, though, for for war games. It said it's going to be 10 people in there. So I'm assuming that's five
Logan Paul's WWE Performance
00:25:08
Speaker
or five. Actually, I'll be in attendance there. Actually, I actually got tickets bringing the little guy. Yeah. We're so it's always been interested for me for shows like War Games or like World War Three. Where are you guys sitting at?
00:25:22
Speaker
Uh, kind of like the, like the, I don't want to get good. I want to get four seats, but they are ridiculously priced. So I got like, kind of like the, like the above kind of like the, the four seats. So I think that's the way to be, unless you're like the first couple of rows on the floor, it's like, it's better to be in the lower bowl. Something like war games. I feel like even the first couple of rows is going to be weird because it's such a wide field of action. Yeah.
00:25:51
Speaker
Cool, man. That's definitely gonna be a fun show. I know they're gonna do it up. Obviously, Triple H loves war games, and this is the first time bringing it to the main roster. It's fun seeing them. Survivor Series has always been like my sentimental... What's that, Jordan? War Games is really cool to see in person, too, because I got to see NXT War Games when they did that for Survivor Series in Chicago. So, yeah, Lower Bull is definitely the way to go. Was that 2019? Yep.
00:26:15
Speaker
Nice dude, yeah. That was a fun, that was like the last time Survivor Series was really good that year when NXT got involved with things. All right, let's go to our next match. We had Braun Strowman beating Omos. I don't know, I don't really got a lot of thoughts on this one.
00:26:37
Speaker
Because it was cool for a big man versus big man, but I wouldn't feel on it. Yeah, we could pass. This was definitely a Vince McMahon special right here. Just two big dudes just can't do anything, but yeah, great. 100%. That was nothing. I feel like they did. I feel like they should have.
00:26:53
Speaker
I can picture a good Braun and Omos match, but I feel like they should have milked this out longer and given I think they should have been WrestleMania and then just pull out some bells and whistles make it like a comedy relief match at WrestleMania, you know, but I what I think they what they should have just did the WrestleMania 6 Hulk Hogan and warrior match like frame for frame just copy exactly I've removed double clothes lines lots of you know tests of strengths that type of stuff just like just do that exact match and I would have been entertained by it and
00:27:21
Speaker
I think Omos actually has less mobility than the Ultimate Warrior, man. I commented in the live thread in the Facebook group, man. He reminds me of a basic action figure. He doesn't got the elite articulation dude. It looks like he's made out of wood. Yeah.
00:27:37
Speaker
All right, let's go on from that train wreck. The tag team championship match. We had the Usos, Jay coming in with a possibly broken wrist, going up against the Brawling Brutes, Ridge Holland, and Butch. Shane, what'd you think of this one? I thought it was awesome. I thought they did a really good job. Yeah, like, I mean, I hope Jay really, I hope it was just like a kayfabe injury, not a real injury. And if it is, I hope it's not that bad because that's really going to suck if he's
00:28:02
Speaker
got a wrist injury. I was watching really close because I was concerned about it also. And a couple of times he was getting up off the mat by pushing. He was using that hand to get off the mat, which
00:28:14
Speaker
If it really hurt, I imagine you probably wouldn't be doing that. So I don't think it's that bad. I think it was probably just kayfabe. Jordan, what do you think happens Friday night? I think the bigger story that kind of really took some of the wind out of the sails for this match is that the Usos are going up against the New Day on Friday. And if they win, they will go on to break the New Day's record for longest tag team title reign ever.
00:28:34
Speaker
I mean, dude, nobody in the bloodline is losing right now, especially the Usos are Roman. So find it very hard to believe that the Usos are going to lose their titles on a smackdown. Just it's not happening.
00:28:46
Speaker
Yeah, especially, you know, now considering like that the new day, you know, they may not ever fully recover and be like the, the new day of old, you know, because of biggie being gone and stuff. I think, I think they're going to go ahead and let the, uh, the bloodline just freaking dominate and hold all the records. It, uh.
00:29:05
Speaker
I don't hope this happens because Uso is better than New Day, but to do a little fantasy booking, how mage would it be if Big E comes out with a new day on Friday night? If we see Big E show up, Uso might be dropping those belts. Yeah. I think the roof would
AEW Figures Discussion
00:29:19
Speaker
blow off the place if Big E shows up, dude. Yeah. People love the freaking new day, dude. They haven't been as prominent in recent memory, dude, but I mean, New Day is over for overall ways, dude. Yeah. I'm going by that. I'm going by the new dream. It's going to be a banger Friday night. Thanks.
00:29:35
Speaker
Yeah. The, I guess he's having it gets really hurt. Yeah. He's having an MRI on Monday for it. So, uh, depending on, but I'm just hoping it's not like, yeah, I hope it's just like a sprain or like some sort of soft tissue situation, not like a, you know, if it's bad, they're definitely dropping the belts on a Friday. Cause they won't be able to continue. I can see solo stepping in for the trial. I was going to say the travel chief might just be like, Hey, we're going to have solo step up and you know, we'll just be using the free bird to roll.
00:30:05
Speaker
That'd be cool. Let's hit the beverage rate before we get into our two big matches.
00:30:28
Speaker
All right, it's time for the weekly beverage break where we go around the horn and share what we're sipping on as we podcast, because we all know that a cold beverage goes great with professional wrestling. So Sheena, we'll start with you. What are you drinking? Mine is more of a summer. You know, I've really dropped the ball on my seasonal bruise lately. I had sober October, but now sober October is over. So I'm back on the wagon and I'm having a... Is it on the wagon or off the wagon when you start thinking? You're off the wagon. I can never remember it.
00:30:56
Speaker
you're I'm off the wagon you're also on the wagon when you're sober and then you go off the wagon when you start drinking well I'm rarely off the wagon tonight and I'm having a simply lemonade these things are simply spiked sorry a simply spiked lemonade they're really good
00:31:14
Speaker
I typically don't even love stuff like that. Just like the mixed canned stuff, but these are really tasty. They don't have a funky fake fruit flavor. It's like real fruit juice, real lemonade. I don't know what flavor. Seth poured it for me, so I don't know which flavor it is. I think that's a watermelon one you get right there. It's the simply lemonade, which is like the best lemonade you can buy anyways. They basically just boozed them up.
00:31:37
Speaker
They're delicious. They're my favorite also. It's probably between those and the Kona Brewing seltzers they put out for my favorite. They're so popular now. You can get a 40 of it. If you're out there and you want a 40 of Simply Spiked Lemonade, you can now get that in the regular lemon flavor. That was pretty tempting. Marco, what are you drinking, man?
00:31:55
Speaker
I am sipping on a hometown brew. It's a night shift brewing. It's called 87. It's named after the actual facility of night shift brewing in Everett, Massachusetts. It's a hazy depot, so a hazy double IPA. What's the ABV on that? It is eight.
00:32:19
Speaker
8% okay Marco might not make it to the end of the show probably not But yeah, it's a tropical flavor too, which is really nice doesn't say what isn't it, but I've enjoyed it Jordan what are you drinking man?
00:32:35
Speaker
It's a football Saturday, so it's Bushlight all day for me. I can't get off Bushlight on Saturday because if I wander down the IPA trail, I'll probably fucking fall asleep at seven o'clock. We just do Bushlight waters all day.
00:32:51
Speaker
push light waters. Nice. Yeah. I've been drinking since Crown of Jewels started, so I've been hitting it pretty hard today as well. I've been mixed in some IPAs, a lot of Miller Lite, and right now I'm sipping on a mango funkyo self, so a little play on words there. It's from Metalsome Brewing right here in Cordova, Tennessee, about 25 minutes away from the house. It's a mango passion fruit sour.
00:33:15
Speaker
Love the sours. It's probably actually like, it's quickly patching up IPA for like my favorite type of craft beer. And this one's really good. Mango always, always hits the spot. All right, let's get back into crown jewel. We got the last woman standing mesh. They broke out all the hijinks. Sheena, what did you think of Bailey and Bianca?
00:33:35
Speaker
It was a really good match, but the high jinks are where they lost me. The golf cart was just, I don't know if that was the world's slowest golf cart or if golf carts in Saudi just don't go as fast as American golf carts, but it was like driving Miss Daisy on the golf cart. It was like horrible. It was like so slow and Bianca was like waiting for it to jump out of the way. And then Bailey was riding on top and Bianca was just like cruising.
00:34:01
Speaker
down to the ring like slowly hit the brakes you know i would have flung that bitch off the top dude it was like an old lady like driving down to the driveway to check her mail or something yeah oh i just kept thinking like dude guess it dude guess it hit the freaking like pedal and just throw bailey into the ring yeah from the from the top of the golf cart dude like that would have been so freaking mage but no
00:34:27
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know if I'm you know quite as amped up for the Sheena was to see somebody get maimed, but I definitely thought it was missing the violet You know similar to them my thoughts on the cage match dude cage match to me equals violence last man standing last woman standing Equals violence and this one had another cutesy finish where it was just Bailey getting trapped under the ladder And I felt like I really kind of broke my suspension disbelief I feel like she probably could have ruled out
00:34:53
Speaker
Not probably, she could have. Again, last man standing, this is like probably even more so than a cage match. It's supposed to be a feud ender and it still kind of felt like Bianca won on a technicality. What'd you think, Jordan? You're the women's wrestling expert. I'm just trying to get over the fact that Sheena wanted like vehicular homicide to take place on the ramp.
00:35:14
Speaker
I wanted it to. Hey, listen, Jordan, Jordan, are you surprised that I wanted some like vehicular hijinks? Yeah, you've seen her behind the wheel, dude. She's trying to kill me, you and your lovely wife. Holy shit, a black SUV is coming out of nowhere. Bianca's about to die.
00:35:31
Speaker
Dude, I'm telling you, I kept thinking, I was like, Bailey's going to stand up and try to get off the top of the golf cart while it's going down the ramp and then just launch yourself off into the ring or into that table. I didn't get what I was there for, but it was still a good match. Yeah, it was great. I didn't love it. I'm with Seth there. The ending ruined that entire match for me.
00:35:55
Speaker
Really, but it was just inoffensive. It just was what it was. They were working hard like shot delays They pulled out a lot of a lot of like unique spots and stuff, but I don't know just and so she got trapped in that That freakin trunk and like didn't even sit on it She like closed the top of this unlocked trunk with Bailey inside or was it who was inside
Recent Purchases and Entertainment Recommendations
00:36:14
Speaker
the truck Bianca Bianca was no Bianca was in the truck Yeah, that killed it for me, too. Why would you not?
00:36:22
Speaker
do the clasps yeah like like clamp it shut or stand on it or sit on it or roll it off the stage she doesn't want someone to die jeez
00:36:34
Speaker
WWE just with their kids, you know, it's still PG-13. We never really got up to the, you know, we're not doing like the attitude error or ruthless aggression type stuff. Some of these matches are just hard to buy, you know, hell in the cell suffers from the same thing. You just don't get to the level of violence that you need. And I feel like we've been spoiled with AEW and GCW. I feel like
00:36:54
Speaker
They would have used you to stick to what they know best. Some of these hardcore matches just ended up being more corny than entertaining. Marco, do you think that Bayley is finished getting title shots against Bianca now? She lost the ladder match and she lost the last woman standing tonight. Do you think it's time for Bianca to get a new challenger?
00:37:11
Speaker
Um, no, I think they got to continue it. Um, probably, you know, they'll pivot for survivor series and probably have like, you know, survivor series style match, um, with damage control and, you know, Bianca and Oscar and Alexa I'm assuming, but then they'll circle right back to, uh, Bailey. Um, I don't see anyone else.
00:37:32
Speaker
Um, Kennedy title shots from Bailey at all. And, uh, they would know what that remind the, uh, when they're on the stage and she was actually standing there waiting for Bailey to hit her. I was, uh, that reminded me of, uh, Austin powers, the seed where the guy's like, yes, it's like 100%. It literally looked like that's exactly what was happening. All right. Let's hear from the two bad chads at the turnbuckle tavern before we get into our main event.
00:38:00
Speaker

00:38:31
Speaker
All right, the match of the night, the match that's got damn near the whole internet talking, Logan Paul versus Roman Reigns. Before we get into the individual performances, just give me your overall thoughts on the matching. I thought it was excellent. I think Logan Paul is by far the best celebrity crossover as far as in-ring talent that we've seen. I just think he's just
00:38:55
Speaker
He's so good, dude. Even though this match... At first, when I heard this match was going to be at Crown Jewel, I didn't think Logan was worthy of this big of a spot with Roman. He showed out and worked hard and the match was awesome. I'm not mad at it at all. Yeah, it was amazing. Marco, what did you think of it?
00:39:18
Speaker
I loved it, loved every minute of it. As you know, I'm a huge Logan Paul advocate when he first stepped in, so I was pleased. I'm glad this match showed everybody that he's legit. I mean, there's no other way around it.
00:39:38
Speaker
He is a star for that company. I mean, he's a star on his own anyway, but he shows up, like Sheena said, he shows up and shows up when he does a lolly gag. He takes it very seriously. I mean, he's been on the biggest stages. I mean, he's been on Mania and Crown Jewel, dude. Mania and Crown Jewel, yeah. That's as big as it gets for WWE. Jordan, what was your thoughts, man? I know you had some critiques.
00:40:06
Speaker
I liked the match overall. I thought the actual in-ring wrestling was really good. I had one major problem coming into this and I still leave with that same problem. I never actually believed Logan Paul had a chance of winning this match. That's one of my major critiques. When you're running a main event and I 100% know the other guy's not winning, it takes away from it a little for me.
00:40:30
Speaker
Um, I do not love all the run-ins in the main event. I know a lot of people do. It just, I don't know, man. Jake Paul's run-in was completely worthless. The two punches he threw were absolutely pathetic. They were pretty bad. Those punches were bad. He's a legit fighter, dude. I feel like he was just... He needs to be careful. I think he's trying to work too hard, man. He's carrying loaded weapons, dude. He can't be just out there swinging freely on people, dude. Okay, so like we're talking about him as a legit fighter, but the stuff that comes out about his boxing matches is not exactly endearing to him.
00:41:00
Speaker
like when i don't care if you're if you're a real boxer a professional boxer in any capacity like i ain't trying to get hit by you know straight up but i don't care i don't care if you're like you know the best yeah those punches did him no no good though like that i don't know that running to me just seemed completely worthless like i didn't know it was worthless
00:41:19
Speaker
I know they were Shane McMahon esque. I'd say they weren't that bad, but they weren't pretty bad. I mean, they were bad, but they weren't Shane McMahon bad. I don't know. I, like I said, I enjoyed the match. I was definitely sports entertained, but I don't know, man, the run-ins are just starting to get to a point where it's like, dude, come on, let's just have a normal match for once.
00:41:39
Speaker
I kinda liked it, but to get, like, circling back real quick to your point about you never thought Logan Paul had a chance to win, same. I went into this just 100% knowing that Roman Reigns was walking away unscathed. However, when he hit that, you know, the lucky punch or whatever, and then did the Superman punch, and they started to count, I mean, it was like, it was like a frog's hair. Like, I thought, I was like on the edge of my seat. I thought they counted three. I was like, holy shit. And then,
00:42:07
Speaker
Yeah, the false finishes were just like insane. I mean, they got me a couple of times where I was like, oh my God, Logan Paul just won this freaking match, dude. I think that's low key, one of the best things Roman's done. I think Roman's the best near fall in the biz, dude. If you watch his, he has really got it down to an art form because he keeps his eyes closed. He doesn't look at the ref. He just trusts that he's got it. That's my biggest pet peeve. He doesn't load up and kick or do any big motion. He literally just fires that shoulder off the mat at the last second.
00:42:37
Speaker
I think that's something that's kind of like, it doesn't get mentioned a lot, man, but I think that's really kind of what's made this run seem so epic. All the super close near falls that he's had. It added to the match for me today, for sure. Because after those were happening, I was like, dude, this could go any way. Because Logan Paul, he was hitting some hellified finishers and stuff, dude. But yeah, it was awesome.
00:42:58
Speaker
Yeah, Logan Paul is incredible, dude. That buckshot lyric was awesome. Jumping through the table while video taping it on the cell phone and stuff. I was telling Sheen, I felt like they should have done a QR code, like Bray Wyatt, so you could watch his feed as he's doing the stuff, man. Yeah. Then he leaped over the freaking top rope like a damn lemur dude, just right over. It was crazy. Dude, he's legit. Kurt Angle was always the gold standard for a person who took to the wrestling business just straight up natural.
00:43:27
Speaker
I mean, I think Logan Paul is going to run for his money three matches in. Yeah. I mean, he's definitely got just a natural sense of athleticism. And I mean, he's definitely, it shows he's taken his wrestling training very seriously. And he's, he's in a hell of a fight. So one thing that helped out would go ahead, Jordan, you got to talk about them hitting on three for three celebrities in the last year, dude, bad bunny, Logan Paul and Pat McAfee have all been incredible in the ring. Yeah.
00:43:54
Speaker
That's true. Those are, yeah, dude, you left that one Johnny Knoxville man. Okay. It was fun, but we're not buying Johnny. Yeah, but he came into his thing, dude. Like they have been, the celebrities have been showing up for WWE here lately. A hundred percent.
00:44:12
Speaker
I was going to say, one thing that added to the atmosphere was that Saudi Arabia, for whatever reason, they love Logan Paul. We know traditionally he's gotten booed out of the building in the States. Do you guys think that he won over the fans in America with that performance today and that he's actually going to get some babyface reactions when he comes back? Or is he still just getting shit on by the American crowd?
00:44:32
Speaker
I don't know. Wrestling fans are so fickle, dude. I think the internet is talking about him and I think they're like, wow, this was really awesome. I think the live crowd is still going to react to him. They're going to still going to boo him, dude. He just has natural douchebaggery about him. I don't know the guy personally, but he just has an aroma. They're probably the closest thing we had to male Kardashians, right? Yeah.
00:45:00
Speaker
Hats off to him, dude. I respect the hustle like crazy. Oh yeah, the entrepreneurial ship and everything is just headable. You can't help but be turned off if you're somebody that is busting their ass in a nine to five, five days a week. Going to a freaking nine to five every day, barely making ends meet, and you see these guys on freaking YouTube. Yeah, you see somebody who they figured out the algorithm and broke through and are getting buku bucks.
00:45:20
Speaker
to do this stuff so yeah it's it's hard not to you know be envious and kind of have some some hatred for those guys but in the ring dude he works like a freaking like you know with Morton dude one of the best baby faces you've ever seen and so he's definitely got a baby face style in the ring what do you think Jordan next time next time he comes out in America is he getting vooters he getting cheered
00:45:41
Speaker
Dude, I feel like after tonight, he has to at least get cheered for one night when he makes his next appearance. I mean, I'll be the first to admit I did not think this was going to work, but dude, he definitely showed out. So I feel like even if it's only one night thing, they should definitely give him his flowers for one night.
00:45:59
Speaker
I think he could end up being like the new Cena, man, where they boo when he comes out. But by the end of the match, they're like going nuts, cheering for him. That's how it was for Cena for three years. Let's relax, comparing him to John Cena. Let's take a little bit of a slow down. I sound like you right after Bray returned now, man. Yeah, you're like, aw, man, this guy's going to win 17 titles.
00:46:23
Speaker
I just meant just the crowd reaction. I think he ended up having a similar vibe with his relationship with the WWE universe. Well, we did get some bad news that he did tear his ACL, or potentially his ACL, and then he did tear his MCL and meniscus. Yeah, he did have a knee injury.
00:46:40
Speaker
Hopefully you can come back for mania because dude I kind of want to see him and set that mania man I think that would be an awesome match and with Seth's character now like they could tell a really cool story I'm sure with you know all the stuff he could play off with Logan Paul What do you think who would you guys like to see him against at at mania? Yeah, I'm with you. I like our rounds would be awesome
00:46:57
Speaker
Mm-hmm. It looked I mean it seems like they're gonna probably go like the they got to do the tag team route at some point right with Him and his brother against who says they are bringing in Jake Paul, which he had his own entrance in Titan Tron Yeah, I could see the Paul's against the Usos. That could be a mania man. Yeah
00:47:12
Speaker
Why are we talking about mania? This dude is not wrestling at mania. If you just tore all that that's like nine to twelve months, dude Like that that's not that's a nine-month recovery at the very least like dude. He ain't an MCL What if he didn't tears ACL though? It was just MCM CL and meniscus is about six months. So that would put him It'd be pretty close. Like I don't think he's wrestling at mania, dude I think we'll see him around this time next year
00:47:39
Speaker
Yeah, you're probably right. Oh, I am right. Dr. Wells here. We're at the petist. What'd you say? Or what? Dr. Wells. All right. Let's hear. Has anybody got any closing thoughts on crown jewel? No.
00:48:02
Speaker
I think the Saudi pay-per-views are icky and gross all around, but they are entertaining in their own right. The production and everything is top-notch. The drones were freaking top-notch. Drones were cool. Here in America, we get those ugly ass CGI graphics and in Saudi, they're flying freaking lighted drones to make wrestling graphics and shit. That was cool, but I'm ready to see. See my favorite wrestlers back on American soil for sure.
00:48:29
Speaker
I do love that when I asked for your way of closing thoughts, Sheena said no and then proceeded to give us some really awesome closing thoughts for the conversation. You're welcome. Sheena always kills it. All right, let's hear from the Extra Cooler show and then we will get into some action figure talk. Hey everyone, it's Nick, better known as Extra Cooler. Is there anything better than diving back into the wrestling archives and watching classic matches from the past?
00:48:55
Speaker
Yes, there is. It's doing that with your buddies while cracking jokes and enjoying some ice cold beverages. If that sounds like fun to you, then be sure to check out my new podcast, The Extra Cooler Show, where each episode, my Survivor Series team and I review an old school match chosen by you, the listeners. The Extra Cooler Show is available wherever you get your podcasts. Be sure to subscribe and follow us for new episodes every other Thursday morning.
00:49:34
Speaker
All right, it's time for the Figure Four, where we get into some wrestling figure talk. We want to remind you this segment and the entire podcast is sponsored by Ringside Collectibles. Use code CHICKFOLY to save 10%. You guys heard the Ric Flair drip from Offset right there. Me and Jordan touched on it on the most recent episode of Pod Wars. But yeah, I still want to show love to Migos, man, the horrible, horrible death of Take Off from this weekend. Yeah. Just senseless, man. Yeah.
00:50:03
Speaker
All right, Sheena, tell us what you have in your hand right now. Yes, Sheena, please do tell us what's in your hand right now. Don't tell us.
00:50:15
Speaker
All right, well. Tell us what you're holding. Don't. Don't. It's pretty sexy. Yeah. Oh, man. You know, this is, yeah, I got a nice hot package in my hand. Jesus, here it goes. Yeah, it's big. It's black. Wow. It's amazing. It's the Supreme Kitty Omega from AEW. Dude, these Supreme figures are next level awesome. You guys know, like,
00:50:45
Speaker
I mean, there's some great Kinney figures out there for AEW. I think this one is top notch. I think if you're a Kinney lover and a Kinney collector, you have to add this to the collection. The face scan that's in the box, like if you're an MOC collector,
00:51:01
Speaker
I don't know because it kind of looks like Morgan Wallin a little bit like he's just I don't know he just looks a little drunk and a little cheery. The extra head scans are much better than ones that are along the side panel. I love this packaging too. I love how they just keep the front of the box nice and open a big clear window and then
00:51:20
Speaker
Yeah, they put all the accessories and all the junk and stuff on the sides. I do wish they had like the little, like a little black strip to kind of cover up that stuff so you didn't really see it from the front. I've had the same critique on Ultimate Editions, man. Like that's why I always take, I think the defining moments are like the best MOC figures out there. Oh yeah, the defining moments boxes were awesome. But yeah, super cool, Kenny. The cool thing about these is you basically get two figures in one. You get an extra set of like legs and pants.
00:51:48
Speaker
Two sets of pants, four head sculps, three sets of hands, and an AW belt and microphone. You got that duster, man. The amount of stuff you get in these is tremendous. They are expensive, but I think you definitely get your money's worth on these figures. Now, this next one, this is something sexy. She was hitting the sexual double entendres
00:52:11
Speaker
earlier on. This is the real thing that gets you all worked up. Get the blood pumping through the veins. Gets you H-A-R-D as the major pros like to say. Yeah. I have the new Supreme Malachi Black. Guys, this doesn't even look like a wrestling figure. This looks like some sort of shit from Lord of the Rings or a Game of Thrones. This figure is insane. It looks like it should cost like 90 bucks, dude.
00:52:39
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Like Jeremy Padour dude, thank you. Like this is chef's kiss, man. Incredible. So yeah, you have like the headdress with like, I don't know if this is a goat or some sort of like antelope. I call it the jackalope. The jackalope, yeah. Whatever sort of like satanic creature this is.
00:53:00
Speaker
Um, is, uh, is, it's wild looking dude. And it comes with two different, like soft goods, cloaks. He's got an extra pair of legs with like the, the shorts and the knee pads. And he's got a vest, like a molded vest. It looks like a rib cage. Like it looks like a human midsection. And he's got another soft goods vest. Yeah. That's what I said. He's got two soft goods, like cloak things. Um, three.
00:53:22
Speaker
unmasked head scans and two masked head scans like saying what the freak dude this thing is so mage like i loved i was a huge huge fan of um malachai black or sorry allister black's um nxt figure like i was one of the best figures of the year for me yeah um but uh this one is just it's just i mean it's a totally different character it's insane
00:53:47
Speaker
Jordan Marco did you guys get have you guys gotten the first two Supremes yet Cody and Brit I did yes, I have not got either one Jordan nope
00:53:57
Speaker
So Marco, what's your take now that we got one series, man? Are you a Team Supreme, or do you still think Ultimate Editions are the best figures out? Man, it is tough, but since the Ultimates have been out, you kind of get to see the evolution of how they started.
00:54:19
Speaker
you know, the beginning ones weren't, I mean, there are, you had the articulation there, but obviously as they went later, you had like the, uh, the butterfly articulation and all that stuff. And then the, you know, I don't know. I think I'm going to still give the edge to the ultimate ones, but Supreme, I mean, they're, they're starting late, but they, you know, they're taking notes from the ultimate additions and I think they're just going to get better. Um, they might even get better than, uh, yeah.
00:54:48
Speaker
I think the value is definitely in the Supreme figure today. Getting the multiple gears with the legs and everything. The way you could swap the upper body and lower body on the AW figures is a game changer. That is a game changer. It's awesome. I like the Ultimate Edition figures better. The actual figures, I like the figures better, but just the overall value that you get with these Supreme figures is insane, man.
00:55:14
Speaker
Um, so let's move again. These are they're on back order right now. Jordan, when'd you say you're Malakai supposed to be in January? Be here around January. So, uh, yeah, I won't even want it anymore by then, probably. He'll be back in WWE as Aleister by that time.
00:55:30
Speaker
gonna come in sooner remember use code chick Foley to save 10% because these things are pricey so that's about five or six dollars savings. Yeah, I'm one of these on ringside if you if you use our code. So sticking with some ultimate edition conversation we had the heartbreaking heartbreaking news.
00:55:47
Speaker
that the double j j e double f j a double r e double t ultimate edition figure probably I think it was that was probably like the crowning like reveal at Sadio comic-con this year it is cancelled when the the last outlaw bashed that guitar over Darby Allen's head he might as well been hitting figure collectors all around the world it was within 24 hours action figure attack was on the forums and said that it is not possible at this time
00:56:16
Speaker
Dude, Jeff Jarrett, man, I think he's like cursed, you know? His Hasbro, he was supposed to be one of the last Hasbros that got made, and the Hasbro line went under right before that came out. Like, it's just... Are you saying the ultimate win is going to go under now?
00:56:31
Speaker
I don't think that. I think the ultimate line is sticking around for a good long while. I think it's here to stay as long as Mattel has the license. But that would really be tragic. Jeff Jarrett has got a habit of sinking companies. He was the top guy in WCW when they went under. And he basically started TNA. And I mean, they're still around. They're like the cockroach of the wrestling world. But they're definitely not. They were pretty insane back during his big run there.
00:56:59
Speaker
Don't know man. I'm really bone-misknown this would I new gin is kind of like my soft spot for like figuring a style Just so I was really excited. How about you guys?
00:57:07
Speaker
Yeah, that's always a bummer. I think they're going to keep it. Yeah, I think they're going to keep it in their back pocket, though, the possibilities there. They already have all the scans and renderings and everything. So, I mean, never say never. Yeah. And Steve said that he's going to, if things change and they typically do in the wrestling biz, that he is going to fast track that figure for us if they get a chance to make it again.
00:57:29
Speaker
I don't know. I wonder how far down the road they got, man. Like maybe there's a prototype floating around out there that's going to go for, you know, four or five thousand here pretty soon on eBay. I'm definitely keep my eyes peeled. There's a few eBay users that somehow managed to get questionable figures in their grasp. And I got the I got the save searches on. So I'll let you guys know if if one of these happens to pop up out there, you'll probably get it for 50 bucks and then sell it for one hundred dollars two weeks later. Yeah, exactly. Don't remind me too soon, man. Too soon. Shout out Chief J. Strongbow.
00:58:00
Speaker
It's not all bad news though. Steve did say that, cause I think double J was supposed to be in series 17, right? And series 16 is next. So it's, he wasn't too far away. And Steve Hoser, AKA action figure attack said that he is going to be replaced by a first time in the, in the line ultimate edition. So let's go around the horn. Sheena, who do you think it's going to be? First ultimate, not a first time in the line figure, just the first time ultimate.
00:58:27
Speaker
A first time ultimate? I don't know, come back to me. Jordan, who are you hoping for? I think it's going to be Rollins. You can either pick who you want or you can fantasy book it. I think it's going to be Rollins. I just feel like it's time to get him his ultimate edition. Oh, yeah. I feel like. Why don't we have an ultimate Rollins yet? That's. Yeah, yeah. I can see Rollins or Orton. It needs to be Seth. Yeah. It might be Orton, too. He hasn't had one yet. Oh, God. Or Rey Mysterio. Yeah, Rey Mysterio. Oh, God.
00:58:55
Speaker
Hey, I'm just I'm just I'm just I'm not Steve, but I actually think he's right. Yeah, Marco's not wrong. But yeah, if we're putting odds on the board, I'd say Ray, Randy and Seth. Yeah, come on. I hope it's that as well. Obviously, that that's that's my guy. Let's let's go around what sheen what if they were making Ultimate Edition, Seth, what would you want it to be?
00:59:18
Speaker
Oh man, I love, was it the Elite 43 look from SummerSlam, the white? Elite 45, yeah, from SummerSlam 2015. Yeah, I love the all-white Rollins. I don't know, I mean, that's not his most iconic look, but it's such an awesome. It's one of them, that was like his defining, you know, besides the Cassian, that was his next biggest moment. It was such a true, but it was just such a one-off moment for him to wear the all-white, you know? But I would love to have an Ultimate Edition in that gear, I love that figure.
00:59:47
Speaker
Yeah, if I'm picking, I would probably go WrestleMania 31 with the entrance vest because they just gave us the Elite without the vest before.
00:59:55
Speaker
And like I said, that was his ultimate moment. Give us the vest, give us a belt, give us the briefcase. But if I'm a betting man, I think it's going to be from WrestleMania this year. We already know the Ultimate Edition Cody's on the way. That was the one that was the pre-order this year. And I think that would be a perfect match. And that wasn't my favorite attire or sets. It was really intricate. And I feel like the only way that's ever going to get executed in figure form
01:00:18
Speaker
is with the Ultimate Edition. Marco, what do you think, man? You want Modern Day Seth? Do you want the Messiah? Do you want the corporate champ? That's tough. I think I want Modern Seth. He wants the man's man. I want the man's man. Yeah, I want the man's man's man's man's man with a t-shirt and everything. But yeah, I think either that, like Seth said, like this year's WrestleMania, or
01:00:45
Speaker
Kind of digging that that clash at the castle gear. The the Elton John look at the flames and all that stuff. That'd be pretty cool. Elton John, the orange. Yeah, that'd be pretty sick as a as they haven't done his they never did his his Night King look, did they? With the I think it was too close. They had a basic that was extremely watered down. I think they may have been. I think it may have been too close on the IP to do that one. They never did a stano scare either from summer stand 2018. Jordan, what set that would you want in Ultimate Edition?
01:01:15
Speaker
I actually don't want him in wrestling attire. I actually want Drip God Seth in one of his suits. I think that would be absolutely awesome. That would be cool, man. I would love Drip God. Yeah, that would be cool. I think you'd get a lot of hate from people if that was his first Ultimate, but I'd be down for it, man, because that would be something really unique. We haven't really had that in the Ultimate Edition line either.
01:01:35
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know, time will tell. What if they just, what if they trolled us all and they put Seth in there, but they did from Royal Rumble this year, so he's just in his shield gear. That'd be awesome. As an Ultimate Edition. I mean, it would be cool, but I just feel like people would go nuts, because Seth has so many just like crazy, colorful attires. Let's go around and share our weekly purchases. Has anybody added anything cool to the collection in the last week or so? Sheena?
01:02:03
Speaker
No, you tell me, but what have we added Seth? Let me go ahead and look at our eBay history. We get the nasty boys OSFTM. I think I missed that last episode. I actually, I have a, so you know, I scored that, I scored the Hollywood Hogan OSFTM mint on card off Facebook marketplace. I had another score. I got a macho man NWO for 20 bucks OSFTM. So this is coming from like 1997 mint on card. We're going to rip that bad boy open also. So really excited for that one.
01:02:33
Speaker
Jordan, how about you, man? What have you gotten recently? So I got no figures, but I did get some pretty big bourbon purchases this week. I got the new Midwinter's Dram, and then I got, it's called Smoke Wagon is the Whiskey, and it's a glow in the dark Halloween bottle. It's really cool. So that was my only two big pickups of this week.
01:02:56
Speaker
I finally cracked open that bottle of the smoke, or the Penelope, that smoked bourbon that you brought last time you was out, man. That stuff was good. I was mixing that with 7UP. It was hitting the spot. I was going to tell you to wait a little bit for that to air out. The toasted ones right out of the bottle always hit a little different, but once they get some air to them, they're really good.
01:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was definitely a little bit harsh, man. I mean, I didn't let it stop me, but that's kind of like my ritual. Whenever I first pop a bottle, I always take just a straight sip, and yeah, it was definitely a little bit harsh. So it's a good tip out there for any bourbon drinkers. Let's smoke there out a little bit. Just decance it a little, you know? It looks really classy out here. Marco, man, what have you added recently?
01:03:42
Speaker
Just a couple figures. I grabbed the the the rock and Rikishi from the the greatest hits line Maybe maybe the Rikishi because it's uh because he has he's wearing like red black and white and I have this kind of like Almost like bloodline faction going with the elite 64 Usos That that Rikishi and
01:04:07
Speaker
Who else? Umaga, the recent Umaga that came out. He's wearing red and black as well. You need to throw a Yoko Zuna in there, man. Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Because I have the recent Yoko Zuna with the white pants. I'm definitely looking to get the Yoko Zuna with the red and black pants. But yeah, it's pretty sick. That Rikishi's awesome. That head scan is pretty amazing. I mean, I'm not the smiling.
01:04:35
Speaker
aspect of it, but it's it's really it's really detailed
01:04:41
Speaker
Yeah, the true effects is, uh, it really sets apart from those older elites, man. So hopefully I think they said they're going to do two series of the greatest hits a year going forward. So hopefully they give us some, uh, for that Harley selection. Harley's coming guys. And then the, uh, bottoms of a drop. I think they're just going to redo that whole line at some point, that whole missing line. What do you guys think? That was such a weird line. Yeah. Cause they already have the, they could go ahead and give us a commission.
01:05:07
Speaker
Go ahead. Yeah, Ricky's already out from that fan takeover, so they already have that figure he made. They already have the Jake the Snake already done, so just Stone Cold and Harley Race are the last two. Commissioner Michaels. Yep, and Commissioner Michaels. There was the Commissioner, Shawn Michaels, built a figure also, which I think that'd be a pretty easy one to get out, man. I think people would buy that also. I think so. Shawn Michaels always sells pretty well.
01:05:32
Speaker
All right, let's hear from J-Bone, John Swallow coming down the aisle and then we will get into some listener mail. Do you want to feel the roar of the crowd? Strap on those spandex and listen to the Coming Down the aisle podcast hosted by me, J-Bone. Each week I have a guest ranging from wrestlers, podcasters, and even some family members. The guests pick the match and we talk about it along with their fandom.
01:06:00
Speaker
Also, each week I provide my analysis in the wide world of wrestling and some figure talk. So get on it up and subscribe to the Coming Down the aisle podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts today. Oh yeah, dig it.
01:06:32
Speaker
Alright guys I jumped the gun a little bit on listener mail we're gonna hit you guys with a Tranquilo and chill where you guys some non wrestling entertainment recommendations. So I'll start first me she and I are actually going to watch this as soon as we get done recording right here. The weird out yankovich biopic is out on the Roku channel of all things but it is free, so you can just download that on pretty much anywhere where you download streaming apps and
01:06:57
Speaker
It's got Daniel Radcliffe, aka Harry Potter. The trailer looks amazing. It's like it's a parody. It's not accurate biopic, right? It's like if Weird Al was making his.
01:07:07
Speaker
You know, his life story into a movie. So, you know, I know for folks our age, dude, Weird Al was like an insanely big part of growing up, like all his, you know, Amish Paradise, that one still hits. And yeah, we're going to... White and nerdy. So we're going to be checking that one out, dude. I'm confident it's going to be really good. So we're going to give you guys that recommendation site unseen. Jordan, you watched or listened to anything good lately?
01:07:28
Speaker
Yeah. So, um, in honor of it being November and officially Christmas season now, I'm going to give a podcast shout out. So it's called Christmas countdown.
Christmas Shows and Drinks
01:07:38
Speaker
Um, it's two guys that talk about like Christmas pass and things that they love about Christmas and me and Ari really like it. So I'll give that one. Nice. And Marco, how about you?
01:07:52
Speaker
Yeah, so on Hulu, there's a show called The Therapist with Steve Carell. I'm not sure if you guys heard of it yet. Can't give too much away because it's kind of like a twist to it. Right on the first episode, so I can't give it away, but definitely check that out. The Therapist on Hulu. I thought that was The Rapist actually, so I'm glad you specified that.
01:08:28
Speaker
I'm still waiting for that, but I'm still waiting for all of the Sean Watson memes to hit when he makes his return against the Texans here in a few weeks. All right. We're going to get into some listener mail sheen. Let's go.
01:08:53
Speaker
Zach Hertzler. Come on out, you rapist. Wow. He kept cutting me off. I was like, he kept pointing like, go. And then he was like, no. If someone asks for that sound bite, we're getting that sound bite. Wow. I never missed a chance to use that in the podcast.
01:09:16
Speaker
Anyway, Zach Hertzler did give us some listener mail. He says, favorite Christmas beer or alcoholic drink? I blame Jordan for talking about Christmas beer on Pod Warriors for me to ask this question.
01:09:29
Speaker
So we've given out this recommendation and recipe a few times, but it's a- It's a classic right here. It is a great, great cocktail. I'll be drinking it on the show at some point during the next couple months. Yes, so the drunken gingerbread man. So you need to get some gingerbread syrup from, you can get it at Starbucks, right? You used to be able to get it at Starbucks. I don't know if they sell it anymore. It was surprisingly, in recent years, it's been surprisingly hard to come by. So if you see it in store, grab it, but you probably have to get it online. So just regular gingerbread, like taurani or whatever, just the regular basic like gingerbread coffee syrup is.
01:09:59
Speaker
Yeah, get on Amazon, search gingerbread syrup, any of it is fine. You need to have Maker's Mark though, because you definitely want a sweeter bourbon. As long as it's a bourbon that's got a lot of winter wheat in it, it should work out. Maker's Mark is the ideal. Maker's the choice. Basically, you fill up a cocktail glass with ice.
01:10:16
Speaker
Pour some coke in, hit it with a shot of makers and then pour in like half a shot of the gingerbread syrup, stir it up and enjoy it. It's going to fuck you up and you're barely even going to taste the alcohol. Something about the gingerbread just perfectly complements the bourbon.
01:10:31
Speaker
Coke. And for the record, we're talking about Coca-Cola. Don't put like- No Pepsi. No, I mean Coke. Don't put like cocaine in your- Oh, I mean you could. If you're trying to get real turned up during the holiday season. I know it's a busy season, but yeah, Coca-Cola, yeah, don't use Pepsi. Coca-Cola has the perfect notes with those warm spices and stuff. So all of it complements. It's like, like he said, chef's kiss. It's so freaking good. What about you, Jordan?
01:10:59
Speaker
So I'll give my favorite beer, which is Goose Island Christmas Ale. That's by far my favorite Christmas beer. And then I'll give a drink recommendation too. So you take Jack Daniels, Winter Jack, Ginger Ale and some cranberry juice. Phenomenal dude. Wait, what is what is Winter Jack? So it's Jack Daniels. It's Jack Daniels winter blend. Basically, it basically tastes like apple cider. Oh, I've never had this.
01:11:28
Speaker
No, I'm never very big JD guy, dude. We're in Tennessee now, so maybe we'll have to get up on it. It doesn't taste like Jack Daniels, so you need to do about, I don't know, it depends on if you're like me and you're an alcoholic. I usually do two, two and a half shots of Jack, about a half shot of cranberry, and then top it off with the ginger ale.
01:11:48
Speaker
You'll get loose on that. How about you, Margo? Yeah, mine. I want to be dead, Jordan. I know, right? Jeez. Well, actually, you might be dead after this beer that I recommend. It's called St. Bernard's. It's a Christmas ale. It's a Belgium style. It's like a strong, dark ale. It's 10% alcohol. Jesus.
01:12:14
Speaker
It's actually really good. It's like, it has like kind of like, um, it's like cinnamon. Um, there's like clove and I think caramel and some like dark fruits in it as well. It's actually, it's really good. Um, it'll, I mean, you could probably only drink one. Um, I mean, if you're feeling froggy, definitely drink two of those if you want to, but yeah, that's, that's my, it's actually the, uh, the decoration on is actually like, uh, like a guy wearing a hat, uh, Santa Claus hat and everything. It's actually, it's pretty awesome.
01:12:44
Speaker
I have a couple of ones that are probably going to like turn you guys off, but I'm hoping somebody out there is on the same, same wavelength as me as I love a good eggnog. It's like a spike with a little bit of rum and amaretto. I love eggnog without the spike. I like, I like just drinking eggnog, but if you spike it a little bit, it's so good. Also boozy coffee. Oh yeah.
01:13:06
Speaker
Yeah, I love Baileys. That was my next recommendation. Coffee and Baileys every Christmas morning. I don't drink boozy coffee probably once or twice a year. And Christmas morning is definitely one of those times. We wake up, I make myself a boozy coffee. We open all the presents. And yeah, Baileys, a little bit of heavy cream and a nice cup of coffee. It's so freaking good. So that's my favorite Christmas drinks besides the gingerbread man. Do we need to find the recipe for that?
01:13:34
Speaker
that breakfast milkshake with Maker's Mark. They had a cup of egg cafe. Ooh, yeah, that was so good. Yeah, it didn't have bacon in it, too. It had a billionaire's bacon. The garnish was a slice of bacon. Yeah. Yeah, booze in the morning, man. I always like to start the day like that. I rarely do it, man. I usually wait till at least the afternoon, man, to be a little bit socially acceptable. But I feel like it just hits different, man, when you start the day off with a drink.
01:14:03
Speaker
Well, cause if you're starting the day with a drink, you know, you ain't got shit going on tomorrow. We probably ain't got shit going on the day after. It's definitely like a vacation or like a weekend situation, a holiday situation. So yeah, I think that's probably why it hits different. Thanks for the question, Zach.
Vince McMahon Movie Possibility
01:14:18
Speaker
Brian Vermeer hit us with.
01:14:19
Speaker
Yes with a three piece i'm gonna go with this first question first in the last pod warriors episode they said that the vents movie would never happen because he's toxic and a deplorable person can you discuss why you think this as an HR person he needed to be fired because he's morally corrupt but it's my understanding the affairs were consensual the money was kept out of the public eye blah blah blah.
01:14:39
Speaker
is accepting the money any worse than giving it. I have my opinion, but I would like to hear yours. Yeah, so I saw that question, so I'll speak on it. So Jordan, jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, dude. I don't think we said he was deplorable. And when we said he was toxic, we just meant as far as like commercially right now, like you just, you know, it's just not gonna be worth the PR nightmare to use him business-wise. Am I right on that? We didn't go any further than that, right, Jordan? No, that was all we really said is it just isn't happening anytime soon.
01:15:09
Speaker
Yeah. Now, not to sweep everything under the rug. I mean, what Vince did, it was icky, but I don't really think it was criminal. You know what I mean? I think if he would have... I think if he would have handled his stuff a little bit better behind the scenes, I think he'd still be around right now. Well, I mean, I think adultery for your wife is pretty freaking deplorable. I mean, even if all the other stuff was not even happening, like all the money wasn't being exchanged, I still think cheating on your wife
01:15:33
Speaker
But it's pretty much been openly known that I think Linda and Vince are pretty much like a business relationship. Yeah, that's been said a few times. I don't think they're like us, not to get super mushy or like Jordan and his wife, Marco and his wife. I don't think they have the same type of relationship. I think they've just, like I said, at this point, they're just business partners, man. I'm not going to judge them on that side.
01:15:59
Speaker
I mean, yeah, we also can't forget because we kind of, we didn't, we tried not to talk about this at that length on the raw down when it was happening, but like we can't forget that like the things they were investigating him for were, you know, they were employees of the company first and foremost. It wasn't just random women that was happening. Plus he stole money from the company.
01:16:20
Speaker
upwards of $19 million in funds that they could not find, that they pretty much did find because they ended the investigation. So it's not like he was a deplorable or anything like that. They brought him up on those charges.
01:16:35
Speaker
uh, you know, it'd be like being an HR issue as well as, like I said, theft. He's stealing from the WWE to fund this, to basically fund whatever, you know, he was doing. So he's, I mean, that's technically that's criminal charges. So he definitely had to step down.
01:16:53
Speaker
To answer the question, I don't think they've definitely made movies and documentaries and series on people that are far more horrible than this. We just watch Dahmer. So if Dahmer can get made, I think the Vince McMahon story can be told. I mean, it's not going to be a feel good
01:17:11
Speaker
You know thing that leaves you like oh man this man is such a hero but i mean there's a lot of stories like that i think you know i think i need to let it cool down a little bit but yeah i think the movie will end up coming out yeah.
WWE Future Star Predictions
01:17:24
Speaker
Brian also asks, he says, we've had fans get behind Daniel Bryan. We've had Kofi mania. Do you think anyone in WWE is going to get that natural push, like the crowd push essentially to the title? I think Seth's getting it right now, man. I mean, he obviously Seth's already been at the mountaintop before, so it doesn't feel quite the same as those guys.
01:17:46
Speaker
the crowd is basically tearing Seth baby face no matter how much of a heel he acts like they freaking love him he gets cheered against anybody so i think he's kind of like getting the most organic push right now as far as like you know the people are making it undeniable do you think there's anybody who has not like any non-former champions like world champions that you think sammy would uh riddle got a pretty damn good uh
01:18:10
Speaker
Riddle Sammy. Yeah, I think Sammy's gonna be the next in line to get that like organic push push if they do one
01:18:17
Speaker
For a world title thing, you think? I mean, I think Sami's going to be. I think Sami could go, dude. Remember Sami in NXT? I don't know if he's still got it like that, but Sami could go back in NXT. Like I said, again, he's awesome, but it just doesn't seem like a- We talked about something raw down, like, well, this is more of young Anthony's take on it. He thinks that, like, this whole bloodline thing is, like, leading to, like, a Sami Zayn Roman Reigns confrontation at some point.
01:18:41
Speaker
Because he's getting all the chairs and he didn't like the fact that Logan Paul was getting all those chairs and the fans are all on his side. He might take offense to the fans saying Sammy's name all the time and chairing for him.
01:18:58
Speaker
all this stuff. So they might do a little feud with Sammy Zane and Roman Reigns that he can go for a title. I mean, the breakup is inevitable. It's going to be a sad day because Sammy, I mean, Sammy has reinvigorated the bloodline in a way that I just, I was not anticipating. I didn't know that I needed it, but I needed it. And it was, it's been so good. So I'm definitely going to be sad when, when the implosion happens, but I could totally see that happening.

Wrestling Figures of the Year
01:19:24
Speaker
right. Brian says we still have two months left this year off the top of your head. What is your figure or set of the year? Mine is the Doink ultimate. Um, but
01:19:34
Speaker
But in that ultimate Triple H that Jordan sent me as a close second. Okay. Yeah. Other than that, I think, I think it was just a typo. I say it's this Malachi black Supreme I'm looking at right now. Yeah. That's pretty hard to beat. Yeah. It's not in my possession, but I'm going with no holds barred right now. Cause I'm a no holds barred fan. And that, that, that set is awesome. Jordan, how about you? I'm going to go with the Malachi, even though I haven't seen it in hand. I just, I feel like that figure is going to be incredible.
01:20:03
Speaker
Honorable mention to the Amazon fan takeover, HBK ultimate edition. That's pretty amazing. Shrunk them down, put them in a box and send them to our house, man. Incredible. The little earrings and everything. All right. Trivia Fiend, Tony Barker says, in the wake of Logan Paul, Mike Tyson and Rick Ross on wrestling TV this week, if you could pick one celebrity to wrestle or be a part of wrestling show, who would it be?
01:20:31
Speaker
Dude, I want to see Trump come back home to WWE, dude. He's my favorite. Oh, my God. I just feel like the heat would be crazy, dude. Like, I don't even... Oh, man. I don't think Triple H is just touching that with the 10-foot pole. No. I mean, dude, he's... Yeah, I don't know, man. I just think that the heat and the attention and eyeballs it would bring to wrestling would just be incredible.
Celebrities in Wrestling Roles
01:20:52
Speaker
True, but the... I mean, he's probably the biggest celebrity in the world.
01:20:54
Speaker
True, but the political climate is such a freaking dumpster fire right now. I can't even imagine. You just let the people come out and boo them, man. Everybody hates the government regardless. You may have your side that you vote for, but still nobody actually really likes the president no matter what. I just feel like he let them come out there and just be the same character he was when he was there before.
01:21:16
Speaker
I just think that would just be, you know, I'd be great to get all the new eyeballs. I think you get a whole bunch more wrestling fans, people watching it. And I think that'd be the quickest way to get something at least close to what we had in the attitude era. Yeah, I get. I mean, with that being said, you guys got anybody you want to say? Of course. So someone that someone that could definitely cut a promo and is he goes by the formally Kanye West. He goes by. Yeah. Now, I think he would definitely benefit from being on. Can you imagine?
01:21:45
Speaker
You want to have heat magnets? That's it right there. I'm not sure if it's money, but it's definitely heat. Me and Jordan actually stopped. We'd had a run. We'd used Kanye West instrumentals every single episode for the podwares, and we finally bailed on it because we were like, we always strive. We never want to offend anybody, right? Not the- True. True. We don't mean you answer. But this is-
01:22:12
Speaker
Yeah, we should be capable of removing the artist from the yeah, I agree. Yeah, 100% like I still bump Kanye like I love Kanye He's probably like my favorite rapper of all time that gets between him and little Wayne But I but you know, we all we never want anybody to be like offended or feel anything except your joy for wrestling when they're listening to our stuff Yeah, you mean Jordan had to had to ditch. Oh, man
01:22:35
Speaker
That's a good take, man. What do you think, Jordan? I'm going to go Conor McGregor until it actually happens. That dude needs to be in a wrestling ring. I just feel like he would be so over. That dude can talk more shit than anybody, so I always want to see him in the wrestling ring.
01:22:54
Speaker
Yeah, I need to see him standing next to some wrestlers. I just felt like he might be too small, dude. Obviously, he's a bad motherfucker and would probably wreck most of the roster. But for sports entertainment purposes, I just wonder how it would look. But yeah, that would be great. Or even just, dude, imagine if he came out and was just like the backup for the Brawling Brutes for one big show or something, man. How awesome would that be, dude? Him out there talking shit and everything? Yeah. He's definitely a smaller dude. I think he's like 5'8".
01:23:24
Speaker
He's definitely going to be tiny compared to Randy Orton. He could rip his freaking head off though. That's the thing. I could rip your freaking head off. That wraps up listener mail for today. All right. So that is it for another episode of the Chick Foley show. We want to remind you guys to use code Chick Foley to save 10% at ringside collectibles. Tina remind them where they can find you guys on social media. You can find me on Instagram at Chick Foley. Marco runs the Twitter machine over at Chick Foley show.
01:23:54
Speaker
You can find all of our links to all of our partners and anything that you need for Chick Foley at chickfolio.com. Follow the pod foundation at pod foundation on Instagram. And despite what I said earlier, I was just, you know, poking, poking the bear here. You definitely need to listen to the raw down and long balls over on the term buckle, tavern, feed and everything else. They have broken VCR. I'm probably missing like 30 of their shows because they pump out content every hour on the hour. But, uh,
01:24:20
Speaker
So Sheena buried us at two minutes into the show and we're at 84 and a half minutes in that she finally makes them in. That's right. Does it feel genuine? Sticking around to the very end of the show. Definitely doesn't. Hey, are you not going to say that? Do I tune into long balls every freaking week? She does. She was like the only one that live comments. I live comment on that shit every single week. I give my football commentary and I don't even really give a shit about football anymore, dude. All right.
01:24:48
Speaker
We talked about Crown Jewel. We talked about some awesome figures and some great listener mail. But now it's time for what everybody is truly listening for. I am attempting to tie my own record for most consecutive correct trivia question. This would be my fourth straight one, right? I know. What do you got doubt up for me, Sheehan?
01:25:05
Speaker
I'm kind of mad because I just feel like, I feel like Marco and Jordan always get the shaft, dude. They get like the most obscure questions of all time. And I feel like, you know, even though this is a random pick, they're totally random. Even though this is an obscure question to like 90% of probably the wrestling, you know, population.
01:25:23
Speaker
I feel like this is like right in Seth's freaking, you know, right at the front of his... Hit me with it. Yeah, his brain. At the 1993 SummerSlam, who was Doink's opponent? Oh my God. Oh. Seriously? I know. I know. This is ridiculous. I'm looking at it right now. I'm looking at it like, yeah, I got like eight of them right here within my side. Brett.
01:25:43
Speaker
The Hitman part. I mean, how does that even happen? We literally, we drew the card in the middle of the show. I pulled the card out because I was like, oh crap, I didn't pull a trivia card. I pulled the trivia card out in the middle and then we picked a random number on the card and that was the question Seth got.
01:25:58
Speaker
Feels like that's the hook everybody tune in tune in next time as I attempt to break my own record Maybe next week Seth will get a question about who was the janitor at the cow palace in 1989 like me and Marco keep getting Jordan you got what was the who was the little person that was teaming with hillbilly Jim or something Yeah, it was like the most like obscure random question of all time
01:26:24
Speaker
And I mean, I did get someone in that match. So in my defense, I at least had a you did. I at least got in the match. Closing thoughts this week, inspired by Seth. Can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
