Introduction and Hosts' Locations
00:00:20
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Chick Foley show. We've missed you. Got a lot of stuff to talk about. People turning into vampires on wrestling shows. A lot of good stuff. It's Phil Gentile in the Jimmy's Famous Seafood Studios here in Baltimore, Maryland. Got Marco denting up in Baston. What's going on, Marco? Nothing. Just a limousine ride and fine dining on these and these parts over here.
Cheesecake Factory Debate and Drinks Discussion
00:00:47
Speaker
Yeah, man. Last week, I was solo. Sheena jumped off the show, and I didn't really get a chance to process the fact that you think Cheesecake Factory is fast food. But now, I think you're definitely, you've gone from the MVP to the VIP now. You're eating French toast, and you're drinking a Stella toil tonight, too. Yeah, I was just sipping on the Stella.
00:01:14
Speaker
Like I said, the next bear up to bed is that Broken Skull IPA. So yeah, just living the good life over here, I guess. Yeah, I was going to save it for later in the show, but I saw El Segundo tweeted out that us here in Maryland and Virginia, I mean, you already have it up there, but I guess we're going to have it distributed here within the month.
Family Anecdotes and Wrestling Schedule Preview
00:01:35
Speaker
So that's good. I had a interesting evening. Have you ever tried to teach a four-year-old how to use walkie talkies?
00:01:44
Speaker
I can't say I have no that sounds like it's.
00:01:48
Speaker
A fun time though. Yeah. Have you ever seen the movie Saw 2, Marco? Yes, I have. I've seen all the Saw's. Where the gentleman is thrust into a giant vat of needles. Yes. Of meth induced needles. That's what I was thinking hell would likely be. But now I think it's teaching a four-year-old how to use a walkie talkie. Because I just can't seem to understand he's going to push the button to talk. And then when he does, he just says hi over and over again. And after a while.
00:02:17
Speaker
After a long day, it's cute for about 30 seconds and then you want to throw the walkie talkie against the wall. But we're here now recording Sheena. I'm assuming has fallen asleep with her young ones that she's attempting to put to sleep herself. So it's me and Marco here. We have a ton of wrestling to get to.
00:02:34
Speaker
We need to preview NXT TakeOver Portland this weekend. We both just watched NXT and AEW Dynamite this evening, so we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Shayna Baszler and everything that happened on Raw a couple days ago. Some big figure news, and we get closer to the New York Toy Fair coming up. So that's a ton of stuff, a ton of stuff. Shayna, if she wakes up in time, she'll be

All that money goes back into the show, you know, paying for equipment for us here. You know, we design new t-shirts. All that money goes comes from our Patreons.
00:03:49
Speaker
And a dollar a month gets you access to our Facebook group, which if you're listening to our show every single week and you're not a Patreon subscriber, you're definitely missing out. I want to do something, Marco.

Um, you know, we've been able to find all kinds of stuff that are hard to find on the, on the pegs. Um, and we also just, you know, talk general wrestling, have a good time. Uh, we, uh, myself, Marco and Sheena record ourselves as we do, uh, the fig hunting in the stores. And now a lot of the folks in the group have started doing it. And I was, uh, I was like a little wary at first. And now I'm like, I'm looking forward to anytime Chad Roberts or, or Tom Cylney or any of these guys pop on and get into some, uh, fig hunting live.
00:04:46
Speaker
Usually it's videos of us not finding shit, but it's pretty fun to watch and we can all feel like we're working together to find good stuff and let's us make fun of the music that's playing in the stores. I think Sheena was in the store the other day listening to Third Eye Blind.
00:05:02
Speaker
Yeah. And I think, who was it the other day listening to some Michael McDonald in Walmart? I think it was, yeah, it was. Kevin, one of our newer Patreon subscribers. So yeah, it's patreon.com slash Chick Foley show. If you want to get a one week trial of the Facebook group, shoot me a DM on the Twitter account and we'll get you in there.

00:05:51
Speaker
for the 10th week straight, I did not watch SmackDown, but it does not sound like I missed much. We talked about it before we started recording. Looks like a super showdown. We're going to get another Reigns and Corbin match. When is this going to end? This has been the longest, boringest feud. I would love to see Corbin getting some wins here, but we touched on the beginning of the feud he did, but it's been Reigns pretty heavily, and I don't know why this is continuing. I guess they're just kind of in a stance still until we
00:06:20
Speaker
start marching toward WrestleMania. Yes, he said they're trying to just pivot Roman into into something else. But yeah, they have to definitely end this at some point. It's you don't want I mean, if you are trying to pivot Roman into like a bigger like main event pitcher, you don't want you don't want to like have that stale taste of the Baron Corbin feud going on. But maybe it gives them the you know, the nostalgia of the
00:06:46
Speaker
of the stone cold and the rock feud. Maybe that's why they have them, too, going back and forth so much, I'm assuming, anyway. But yeah, they need to definitely do something with that. And other than that, SmackDown was pretty lackluster. Other than the fact that you got to see Goldberg return, sort of, was an in-ring return. It was more of like a via satellite deal. Of course. And he called out the feed.
00:07:15
Speaker
it was pretty entertaining. Did you see any of it? No, I refused to watch SmackDown for some reason. By the time Friday rolls around, I've been watching some other shows and just falling asleep in front of my TV. No, I did not watch it. But it is interesting, and people were pretty upset on Twitter, which does not happen too often, that we could see the Fiend lose the belt to Goldberg and set up a match at WrestleMania.
00:07:43
Speaker
I would be surprised if they do that, but you know stranger things have happened, right? Yeah, I mean especially if you want to make like a Yeah, Roman Reigns Goldberg is spare versus spare match ever so many you definitely wanna Go bird to be walking in with that title, but you saw the elimination chamber before then so who knows? Oh actually no wait actually yes because it's March Yeah, so they make elimination chamber anything could happen, but but yeah definitely
00:08:12
Speaker
You might see that. You might see Goldberg with a strap again. Two-time universal champion.
00:08:17
Speaker
I think it would be stupid to take it off of, I mean, I think we talked about it before we recorded it again. I think Reigns is going to win the title at WrestleMania, whether it's against Goldberg or a Fiend.
Wrestling Debuts and Returns
00:08:27
Speaker
So maybe you can throw the Undertaker or Kane or somebody in this match and interfere and cost Fiend the title and set up a, I mean, I would love to see a Fiend Undertaker match at WrestleMania. I think that would be freaking awesome. You don't need the belt to do that. You could put Fiend over big time as kind of the new, mysterious,
00:08:48
Speaker
powerful force in the WWE. So a lot of ways they can go, but I really don't want to see Goldberg win the title with wrestling once a year.
00:08:58
Speaker
Yeah, we'll run down that card. That's on a Thursday, the 27th. So next week, we'll probably, we have actually two shows before then, so that'll be interesting. I think that's at three o'clock on Thursday? Three o'clock? Is it three o'clock or one? I'll have to look it up, yeah. I'm gonna have to skip work. No, I'm not gonna skip work for that.
00:09:19
Speaker
What am I talking about? It's going to be awful. They didn't announce an AJ Styles, Andrade, Bobby Lashley, Eric Rowan, Rusev, R-Truth Gauntlet match for the Tukwai Trophy, which, you know, man, I'm sure all those guys were hoping to, you know, when they were little boys wrestling at home, were thinking about winning that Tukwai Trophy. What the fuck is that? It's prestigious, I guess.
00:09:47
Speaker
It looks like a beautiful trophy. I'm pretty sure it is. It looks like it's made out of crystal. But yeah, I have no clue what that is. It's just some made up.
00:09:58
Speaker
trophy that you'll never see on TV. We'll get into that in a couple weeks. Not much else from SmackDown. We saw another dirt sheet segment with Miz and Morrison. It looks like Carmella is the number one contender, which is interesting. I think a lot of people thought Naomi would get that honor, but I guess she will face
00:10:21
Speaker
Bailey at, I guess that'll be an elimination chamber. Maybe it's a good little step stock gap. I mean, I miss seeing, I miss seeing Carmella. I liked her run as champion, you know, a year or so ago. So I like her in that role. Um, I don't know who they're going to choose to take the belt off of Bailey, but I think it's, it's probably coming and, uh, we'll see who it is. Maybe, maybe, maybe Sasha banks. I don't know. Uh, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's for the women for the smack down.
00:10:50
Speaker
Women's title, it seems a little flaky right now when it comes to like the Wrestle Media picture, so I'm not sure what they're doing. I'm not sure where Sasha Banks is. She hasn't been on TV for like a month. I was gonna say, did we ever get word on why she missed Royal Rumble? I guess she hasn't been on SmackDown since then, so I guess it's some sort of injury. But man, it's hard. And the rap album, don't forget that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be good. A lot of Eddie Guerrero songs, a lot of crime.
00:11:22
Speaker
I mean, I think Sasha Banks is just kind of snake bit at this point. I mean, she gets between leaving and taking her ball and going home and then getting hurt every six months, it's hard to really take her seriously.
00:11:35
Speaker
We'll see what happens. Let's get into Raw was the biggest storyline of the week. Man, what a shit show of having. Shayna Baszler was a complete badass in NXT and to have her come out and, you know, I don't know. This isn't really her debut, but this seems like to be her full time spot on on Raw now. You know what I mean? I feel like this is now she's she's now on on Raw.
00:12:05
Speaker
to have her biting Becky on the back of the neck and drawing a ton of fake blood, I don't understand where they're going to go with this and what the purpose of this was and why not just have her beat the shit out of Becky? Why do this, Marco? What is the point of this? This is so freaking lame. I'm assuming because Becky was just walking around saying she has superpowers and Shane was like, you don't have superpowers.
00:12:34
Speaker
tear your skin off. I honestly don't know. I can't give an answer at all. I have no clue. It was weird seeing it. It was awkward that it happened. I don't know what... Because she's never done that before, that I remember anyway. I don't even remember if Shayna Bay is ever biting or doing anything crazy. Maybe she'll do her submission move too long and choke someone out. That's pretty much it.
00:13:04
Speaker
But I think some of the back of the neck of like, I just, I don't know. I have no words at all. Still, it's been how many days?
AEW Events and NXT TakeOver Preview
00:13:13
Speaker
Yeah, I guess, I mean, she's a built-in character that she's just a complete badass. But I guess if Rhonda's gonna come back at some point, it's basically the same. They're the same thing. They're just maybe, I really hope we're not getting some sort of vampire gimmick.
00:13:30
Speaker
Yes, she just doesn't need to do it. No, it's just not necessary. You know, just make her like a scary shit kicking like person that doesn't talk and just, you know, beats people up. And, you know, either way, it's going to be a good match. I just think this angle was stupid. And then having Becky Lynch steal an ambulance. Did you see the video of someone put like kind of like a grand theft auto? Yeah, it was amazing.
00:13:58
Speaker
It was me and Drayus, GTA man, Drayus, like San Andreas, but it was me and Andreas. That's her Twitter handle, I guess. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. And where was she going? Why was she going to the hospital? I don't think Shayna Baszler had left the arena. Was she chasing someone? No, that's what I said. I said the same exact thing. I was like, why did she commandeer a vehicle? If she was just going to go there and come back, she could have just had the ambulance drive her there, and then she could have had them drive her back.
00:14:28
Speaker
I don't know. There was no chase. There was no, it was only, she was running after she, you know, like she needed a common air vehicle would take off and it was, I don't know. I think I, I feel like they're just trying to put a lot of like, I hate to say like stone coldy type of gimmicks on Becky with like taking vehicles and like doing like that type of stuff, but it's not, it just, there's no story to the, her doing it at all. I'm going to drive myself.
00:14:56
Speaker
and she just does it and then comes back. And then she does it even there when she comes back. Just poorly done. Really, really poorly done. I mean, there's a thousand other things she could have done here. Also, I think I'm already tired of MVP. He had this interview segment with the VIP lounge thing. Yeah, he brought that back. Yeah, he also brought back a lot of 90s rap lyrics that no one
00:15:23
Speaker
No one in the crowd understood at all. He literally quoted a Leo, which is a song from I think 15, 20 years ago. And now I guess he's a heel for no reason, just a heel.
00:15:39
Speaker
He called drew McIntyre down to the ring and then For some reason the security guards he had around the ring stopped drew McIntyre even though MVP had just literally called him out to come down to the ring But you know, whatever We saw a Samoa Joe return
00:15:57
Speaker
Right? That was awesome. Yeah, he's back. I like that. She had voiced some concerns about Rhea Ripley in our group chat that she... I don't know where she's getting this from. I guess I'm maybe missing something. I mean, I could see it happening, but she's kind of worried that Rhea Ripley is just going to be on this upward trend kind of roller coaster ride and then just settle back into like a mid-carter
00:16:22
Speaker
I guess, similar to how they've done with Paige in the past, and I guess you could say some of the other females in the division have been treated. I don't see it. I think she's pretty marketable, and I think she's going to be at least an NXT, you know, kind of a Shayna Baszler replacement for a long time. Yeah. I think her, I think speaking for Shayna, people out there don't think I am, but I think what she meant was like,
00:16:50
Speaker
It's like a peak type of thing. This is my interpretation. So you're facing Charlotte Flair, possibly. That's the peak right there. She worked her way up to that point, but it's basically just giving her Charlotte, and that's it right there. Now all you have to do is, the only thing you can really do is just go downhill from there. That's what I'm assuming, anyway. And I can see that, because that's what happened to Paige. She came out with the Monday after Raw, beat AJ Lee, became the first ever
00:17:19
Speaker
Divas slash women's champion. And then like after that, I was like, what, what did she do out? Do you remember any that she did anything after that or her, like her title reign? Do you remember anything? No, no, no, no. That's why, that's what I think she feels about Rhea Ripley. Like, I believe, I think they should take their time and still do a little bit more. Like even if they do have a matchup media, uh, maybe have her lose, not win, like have Charlotte win the title and it just like,
00:17:49
Speaker
I think I said it because you get voice that concern I think I said I think the idea behind it is to like get Charlotte as far away and Becky as far away and Bailey as far away and Sasha as far away from each other as possible and just give them new feuds to deal with so if you have like Charlotte go down to NXT and just start start like feuding with like Bianca Belair Dakota Kai and like all these like different women and it brings new life to Charlotte
00:18:18
Speaker
I'm saying to them, Becky, you bring someone up. Bring Tony Storm up to face Becky or something like that at some point, because that could be a feud. Just different faces for the women's division is super deep. I said this last week, I think they have the best division going. And I think the fear Sheena has is that they're going to kill what they have too fast. And it's a possibility.
00:18:45
Speaker
Just given someone shows that you can already see that rear Ripley as like the next in line. If they're giving you, if they're giving her Charlotte, that means that they see something and they want to, they want to pursue. We'll say, um, she has a water to end up like the page or even the Roman reigns. People could get sick of her and just be like, Oh, this stuff and real Ripley down our toes. We don't want to deal with her anymore. And then they want the next person. You know, it's a possibility. It does happen. It's, it's wrestling fans. We are, we are a fickle bunch.
00:19:15
Speaker
of people so it's definitely a possibility. Hopefully it doesn't happen but it could.
00:19:20
Speaker
Yeah, we'll see. It'll be interesting to see what happens there because, yeah, there's just so much talent in there. They gotta be high on Bianca Belair because she had an awesome showing in the Royal Rumble. She's been promoted heavily against Charlotte on NXT last week. So I'd be surprised if they don't make that a triple threat match, but we'll see what happens there. Let's touch on AEW real quick before we get into NXT.
00:19:45
Speaker
We didn't really talk about it last week, but Cody had suffered 10 lashes from MJF, which was, you know, people were also up in arms about that. Yeah. A lot of white wrestling fans were defending your African-American honor. We're just getting fake offended by something that they really have no business to be offended by. Yeah, I see that. I was like, I thought it was kind of, I didn't even think of that at first.
00:20:15
Speaker
That's the thing, you don't think of those things. It's like, it's coding and whip, because that's one of the stipulations. They said this weeks ago that he had to get 10 lashes. So it wasn't like they happened to like, oh my god, it's Black History Month. Let's do this, just to get people mad. No, it was already a thing. But people like to make stuff out of nothing. Yeah, I seen that. I was just like, I don't get the outrage at all. It's wrestling.
00:20:41
Speaker
I've we've seen far worse. We see far worse storylines and wrestling that so we get lashes. Oh my God. Yeah, Jesus Christ. What was confusing and it looked like at the end of that segment and I don't know how we didn't touch on it last week. A fan had jumped
00:20:58
Speaker
into I guess MJF and Warlow were you know up the stairs kind of in the crowd and someone had jumped in tried to attack MJF and it turned out to be Frankie Kazarian which was totally unexplained had no it was really just poorly done and I don't know if he decided to do it on his own but it was super super confusing and they didn't address it at all this week and
00:21:23
Speaker
MJF had a match and won against Jungle Boy, and we have a new women's champion, Marco. My girl, Rio, lost the belt to Nyla Rose, but I got to say that was probably the match of the night. That was a really good match, and those two wrestled really well in that first episode of AEW Dynamite that I went to, courtesy of our boy, TJ McHugh, giving me that ticket for Freeski.
00:21:48
Speaker
It's just you wouldn't think so with the size differential, but man, Rio can move and she had Nyla Rose up and down and it was just a great match.
WWE Distribution Changes and WrestleMania Speculations
00:22:00
Speaker
Hats off to both of them. I think they should have done this a while ago because I think Nyla Rose is kind of that
00:22:05
Speaker
that shitty giant monster heel that you want to have with the with the world title so we'll see I don't know who will be in line now after that because there's not too much else I mean we saw some good things from Chris Statlander you know almost a month ago now and she's just been off TV they don't really have too much there I mean Britt Baker's now a heel so you know I don't see that happening
00:22:27
Speaker
So, we'll see. Also tonight, it was Britt Baker, about three or four weeks ago when they did the Bash of the Beach thing, had an awesome promo against Tony Schiavone, just making fun of him, saying how he was a Starbucks barista and couldn't get anywhere. His name rhymed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:45
Speaker
And now they've done the same thing like three weeks in a row, where it's just to the point where they're just like, oh, this worked. Let's just keep doing this over and over again. So that's where that is. But other than that, not too much to talk about, AEW. Of course, we'll preview that pay-per-view, too. That's at the end of the month. That's on the 29th out of Chicago, which I was supposed to be in Chicago for a wedding in Chicago on the 29th. Yeah, that's right. But I'm not going to that because... Oh, no.
00:23:12
Speaker
What happened? Well, I mean, it just wasn't feasible money-wise. It's like a distant cousin of my wife's. And we would bring the kid, because of course they wanted the kid to be in the wedding like a ring bearer, I don't know, or something. So it would have been like $1,000 for flights and hotels. And it wasn't really something that somebody my wife is close to.
00:23:34
Speaker
It just seems like I don't know if you're in this kind of point in your life either, but like my calendar fills up with like fake vacations that aren't even for like something I want to go to. Like fuck people that have these weddings that I have to travel to because I have to then take a week off of work.
00:23:52
Speaker
and lose a week of vacation and spend money on somewhere. I mean, Chicago's a really cool city. If you've never been, I highly recommend going to Chicago. But god damn it, I want to go to an all-inclusive resort and drink my ass off without my kid or go somewhere fun like the beach or something. The last two years, it's just been like all the vacations I have are because I'm being told to go somewhere by someone. So it's kind of frustrating. So we will not be attending. The only good thing is I would have probably hopefully snuck into
00:24:20
Speaker
after the wedding, maybe going downtown and try to get a single ticket somewhere for that show because it would have been fun. But to no avail, so we'll also preview that. That's the same week as the Super Showdown show at the end of February. So a lot of wrestling over these next couple weeks. We've got three big shows coming up.
00:24:40
Speaker
Stay tuned here. We will also on our Facebook page what we do I think after definitely after Sunday night I think we'll you know one of us or two of us or three of us will jump on to the Facebook group We'll do a live video chat and just kind of talk about the NXT takeover Portland with you guys and shoot the shit and talk wrestling and you know, whatever maybe be pretty drunk. Maybe not Yeah
00:25:04
Speaker
So NXT TakeOver Portland, we had an NXT episode tonight. Not too much happened. Let's get right into the card. I don't wanna really make too many predictions without Sheen Dogg here. But we can run down the card. It starts with Keith Lee, your NXT North American champion defending the belt against Dominik Dijakovic. These two have wrestled several times at NXT on USA, but always a good match. What do you take away from this one, dude?
00:25:35
Speaker
Yeah, they're definitely gonna, if they're the first in line, yeah, they're definitely gonna set the tone for the rest of the night. They did actually have a cool package tonight on NXT. They had Mark Henry doing like, it was like a promo video for that match, basically running down the line of like all the giants and all the big men in the history of the WWE. And then basically leading all the way up to Keith Lee and Dominic.
00:26:02
Speaker
And like going over there, different attributes and how, what makes them, um, unique in their own right. And then, um, yeah, it was pretty cool. Like the hype video for them was really awesome that they did. But, um, I see obviously, I mean, we're not doing predictions, but obviously Keith Lee walks away. Um, I think he walks away with a title and possibly making it to parents at WrestleMania. I'm still, I'm still keeping my word. I think he's.
00:26:29
Speaker
going to win a major championship this year, besides the North American. Um, I'm not sure he's going to skip past the NXT title and go right for a WWE title, but I see, uh, I see him holding a, uh, a main roster title at some point.
00:26:45
Speaker
Yeah, my only concern is how they're going to get all these NXT folks onto the WrestleMania card. They don't have takeover. I mean, we're always at five, six hours already. I'm sure you're going to have to push some of these matches, but you could literally have a card of all title matches, you know, and make it five, six hours at WrestleMania. So yeah, that's not going to happen. But yeah, I would love to see him, especially in a match against Braun Strowman or something like that. That would be fun.
00:27:10
Speaker
Dakota Kai gets a match against Tegan Knox in a street fight. Women's Street Fight. I don't see that too often. Women's Street Fight, that'd be pretty fun. I don't think this feud is over anytime soon. Well, might
AEW Storyline Changes and New Talent
00:27:25
Speaker
as well talk about it now. I know they announced this week that there's going to be a Tegan Knox documentary about her recovery from injury. It's going to be on the Performance Center YouTube page, which I was surprised it wasn't going to be on the network.
00:27:39
Speaker
That should be pretty cool because, I mean, she was battling back from that from an injury at the Mae Young Classic for some time. And this is going to be a hell of a fight, man. I love what they've done with Dakota Kai turning her heel and these two former friends kind of reminiscing to Champa and Gargano to a lesser extent. I'm pretty pumped for this. This should be fun, too. I don't know. I've never seen a women's street fight before, but it should be pretty physical. Yeah. If you see that last, if you see the NXT
00:28:10
Speaker
uk their last pay-per-view dakota kai was there in attendance watching watching amongst the fans and uh tegan ox actually attacked her in the crowd and they just started going at it it was really it was pretty sick so if you all want a preview of what the street fights gonna look like definitely check out that little tidbit from uh nxt uk um because you'll you'll you'll see some uh you'll see some brawling happening so yeah uh
00:28:38
Speaker
Definitely Dakota Kai, I'm going to say, is the perfect way of turning a, like, she's kind of like a Bailey in a sense, her first, her, when she was a baby face. Um, but they did her heel turn perfect. And that's what I think they should have did with Bailey. Um, but she's like the perfect version of like, just like smiling and don't have peace signs and all this stuff. And then just turned a complete hell. I'm not sure where they went wrong with Bailey, but that's what I think Dakota Dakota Kai should have been like that blueprint.
00:29:09
Speaker
for what they should have did with Bailey, not to go back to SmackDown, but I was thinking that when I was here.
00:29:17
Speaker
Man, yeah, it's gonna be fun. And we've talked about, I mean, there's so much women's talent in NXT that it's really gonna be cool to see both of these women's matches. Let's go to the, I don't know if this will be the main event, but it probably should be Rhea Ripley defending against Bianca Belair. Do you see Charlotte maybe getting involved here and turning this into a triple threat at WrestleMania? I think that would be, if you wanna get as many people on the card, some people don't like triple threat matches. What's your opinion on triple threat matches? I freaking love them.
00:29:46
Speaker
Yeah, I think I love them. Yeah, I love triple threat matches better than like four fatal four way Yeah, I know triple threats. It's I mean you've always cool dynamic, you know, yes It's I mean, obviously it's like oh if the person that's holding the titles again pin that that's always a good dynamic Like I never got paid for the title So like you really did with it like that type of thing. Did you continue those feuds stuff like
Toy Collection and Wrestling Book Exchange
00:30:11
Speaker
that? So no, I love triple threat matches. I do think there will be a Charlotte
00:30:16
Speaker
interference. Um, it may be like, since it's some time between WrestleMania, maybe Charlotte will feed with Bianca Belair a little bit, uh, to elevate Bianca Belair, um, on that front. But yeah, I think definitely something like that's going to happen. And obviously we never please walking away unless we're totally wrong. And they swore of us big time and have Bianca Belair with the title, but the NXT title, not the NXT women's championship, by the way.
00:30:44
Speaker
Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. The NXT Championship. Yeah. Yes. Adam Cole defends the title against Tommaso Ciampa in what should be God, man, this is this card is freaking stacked when you hit when you when you have these two in a title match and then you have a tag team title match with Matt Riddle and Pete Dunn against the undisputed era. And then Balor and Gargano here. I mean, top to bottom, this might be this is going to be an awesome takeover card, man. Yeah.
00:31:12
Speaker
This is brutal. I'm surprised they didn't save this for WrestleMania weekend. But hey, we get a little bit early, so that's cool. What do you what do you think? Let's go back to the title match Cole versus Champa. I don't know if I see Cole losing this bell here, but man, it would be an awesome story to see Champa come back from that injury, win that title and, you know, get back on the top of the mountain. Yeah, I think if you definitely if you do see
00:31:40
Speaker
and NXT championship on WrestleMania, be it the women or well, either one, not the women's elements. Cause that doesn't exist anymore. Um, probably Adam Cole. I think, I think he's walking away with it and he's going to defend his title on in WrestleMania. I think that's happening. It might be another, like a Tommaso champ, Adam Cole to add WrestleMania that might happen. But I think that's definitely, I think he's keeping the title and he's defended it, um, at media.
00:32:10
Speaker
You think so? I mean, it's it be at the pre show or he's I think he's definitely. If you if you want to if you want a person that's going to hold a title from NXT to be on to be in WrestleMania, imagine how many fans are going to be like maybe 80,000 people screaming the Adam Cole baby thing. I can see that definitely happened. Yeah, it could possibly happen. They'll extend it to if they had to do a 10 hours, I'll watch a 10 hour WrestleMania.
00:32:58
Speaker
if they have to.
00:32:59
Speaker
total ass kickers and all four of these guys, man, Jesus. I mean, you talk about the tag team talent on AEW. I think these four guys can go toe to toe with anybody in that company, man. It's going to be a great match. Finn Balor against Gargano. I don't know who wins here. I mean, Finn Balor hasn't really
00:33:19
Speaker
I mean, he's made his mark here in NXT. I think this is just kind of a cooling off period for him. I'm assuming they bring him back maybe as soon as the night after WrestleMania to Raw or SmackDown, just because they're kind of lacking in star power in some of those shows. What do you say happens here, man? I think Organo is gonna get this thing and get back on track. Yeah, I think it's a match for
00:33:48
Speaker
the main spot cause he's been out to with an injury and stuff like that too. And a, and a put fit baller. I think that's probably going to be, I mean, does any, any one of these matches is going to be match a match of the night. Uh, but if I had to pick one, it's probably going to be that one as I mean, this whole cards would be pretty brutal. If you like hard hitting actions, it's definitely going to be that. Uh, but yeah, I think, uh,
Valentine's Plans and Sponsorship Humor
00:34:08
Speaker
Gargano walks away with a win here and it, uh, brings up his, uh, his level a bit.
00:34:15
Speaker
Yeah, man. Great card. Like I said, we'll be going live afterwards to kind of talk about it on the Facebook page. So yeah, let's get outside of the ring here. And we have a ton to talk about here. The biggest story for me is
00:34:33
Speaker
the fact that we might be losing pay-per-views on the network. There was a conference call. Vince McMahon said something to the fact that they're looking for buyers or somewhere to put some pay-per-views. I don't really know what's going to happen. People were really freaking out and saying they were going to cancel the network and all this stuff.
00:34:53
Speaker
I mean, it is crazy that we get these pay-per-views for $9.99 a month, plus we get all of the stuff on the network, including all the documentaries and old pay-per-views from not only WWE, but WCW and ECW and tons of old wrestling content. I mean, it's definitely, to me, worth $10. We've said that several times on this show.
00:35:16
Speaker
But I think it makes sense to, if you can get WrestleMania on Fox on a Sunday night, I don't think it, maybe you can show it on both. Why not just have it on both and you can only watch it once on Fox and then you have the replay whenever on the network. What do you think is going to happen here and do you think it's a wise move?
00:35:42
Speaker
How long has the network been around for, like, five or six years, they said? I think they're down
Wrestling Figures and Collectibles
00:35:46
Speaker
pretty significantly in subscribers. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't see it as, like, it will probably happen. They'll probably sell some of the main properties. Like you said, WrestleMania may go to Fox, since they have, like, a huge deal. And I was actually talking to someone a couple of days ago
00:36:07
Speaker
Uh, one of my coworkers, that's like into wrestling, which I'm so glad I have a few coworkers that watch wrestling. Um, well, I actually, I'm thinking they like WrestleMania next year, since it's going to be at that, uh, that new, uh, uh, stadium. I think it might be on Fox. I think WrestleMania will be like a Superbowl for wrestling and it will be on Fox. I think, I think that's the first time you'll see it on network television. Yeah.
00:36:35
Speaker
That's my own prediction. If you watch any other videos of them at the stadium and the press conferences and all that stuff, it's a big fail. It holds over, I think, almost over 100,000 people to the extent if they were to do a show there. The stadium's state of the art.
00:36:58
Speaker
The roof is translucent, so you can do graphics on the inside. Oh, my god. That's going to be sick. So basically, if you're looking up when you're inside, you'd see the graphics of whatever. Roman Reigns is like, dawg. That's the first one I thought of, too. Yeah, I don't know why. Because that's the one they would probably spend like $2 million on making a graphic for. The other thing they had on that statum is the other side of the roof is translucent. So anyone flying overhead, you can
00:37:28
Speaker
put something else. So we're gonna have two different advertisements essentially on the inside of the stadium, looking up at the roof. And then on the other side, I feel like flying over, which is pretty insane. So like, I feel like they're doing those overhead shots. You can see like a big WWE logo. Like Stephanie, I watched a video with Stephanie McMahon. She was being interviewed by Renee Young and she was talking about like that stuff. But yeah, she actually gave a tidbit of WrestleMania 21
00:37:57
Speaker
she was actually the one that, uh, ran the Money in the Bank match. Like, uh, produced it, like? Yeah, cause she, cause Vince McMahon tore his quads and he was out. So all the, all everyone, she was, she actually produced that match. That's pretty cool. Which I did not know, but yeah.
00:38:14
Speaker
I think you'll see Russell Media next year on network television. Yes, as long as we don't have to go back to paying 40, 50 bucks for pay-per-view, I'm never doing that again. I don't think anyone is. I'm surprised people still have pay-per-view. It's crazy that people are still paying that now, which is cheaper. I think whatever to a friend's house a couple years ago, and he didn't have the network, and he bought the
00:38:38
Speaker
$60 WrestleMania like what do what are you doing? Sign up for the network man It's for free. Yeah, exactly. Just create a fake email address, you know, but I think the days of that are gone but I mean even if they put all the pay-per-views on Fox number one they'd get a bigger audience and You would still have all the content. I'm sure they would still show them on the network. So You know
00:39:04
Speaker
I don't think it's that big of a deal for me. Some people seem to think so. Yeah, a lot of people are upset about that. The other news, it wasn't really news, it was like a financial analyst on CNBC came out and said like she thinks Amazon may purchase the networks like the rights to it or the library or like Jeff Bezos was in talks or something like that or adding it to like the prime
00:39:34
Speaker
video but that was the other part of it like what if it gets sold to other streaming services so like Netflix might have like Royal Rumble and Prime might have Survivor Series because the way he said it was I also like the properties might be sold so like just like maybe not the library but like Amazon would probably buy the library part of it so like all the old footage and all that stuff and like you would sell off the properties so like Royal Rumble, Wrestle Media, Survivor Series, SummerSlam they would all go to like different
00:40:03
Speaker
streaming services. UFC already did it with ESPN+. Now you can watch or purchase the pay-per-view through ESPN+. And AEW is already doing it through Bleacher Report. So I don't see
00:40:17
Speaker
I mean, we're already accustomed to it, so it's a possibility. Also, if you don't have Netflix or Amazon at this point, you're probably too poor to even pay for the network. Yeah, you're broke. Yeah, because, jeez, I mean, those are the two things that everyone in the world has, or you are stealing from someone's login. So yeah, we'll see what happens with that. I'm sure they're going to announce it after WrestleMania this year or do something.
00:40:46
Speaker
I just love, when I watch stuff on the network, it's never, it's anything from, you know, the last 10, 15 years, it's always old raws or old, you know, pay-per-views, old Wrestlemanias and stuff, so. Oh, of course. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Wrestle, like you said, WrestleMania is gonna be in LA in that new football stadium that'll be for the Chargers and the Rams. And I would love to see WrestleMania 38 be in Vegas at that new Raiders stadium.
00:41:14
Speaker
That would be awesome. I would probably lose all my money for several different reasons. I'm definitely going to that. That's one I could probably convince the wife to come to. If you've never been to Vegas, it's definitely fun and there's a ton of stuff to do. Sit poolside or gamble or watch a show or get some Chinese hookers or whatever you want to do.
00:41:40
Speaker
John Cena, they announced last night on the backstage, WWE backstage, that John Cena was gonna be on the last day of the month, I think the 28th, he's gonna be on SmackDown, which I am pumped about. I think I missed John Cena more than I thought I would. And I'm interested to see, I'm assuming this is gonna be some sort of set up for a match at WrestleMania. And I wanna get your take on who you think he should face.
00:42:09
Speaker
Uh, I need the rumor. I mean, a lot of people are, I've seen, I've found a lot of like graphic designers and all that type of stuff. And a lot of the, a lot of people feel it might be the dream might be velveteen. Really? Um, well, because yeah, cause, uh, a while back, uh, John Cena was asking like Q and a type of thing. And someone asked him like, Oh, what, uh, what superstar would you like to see? Oh, who do you think is going to be the next person? And he actually said velveteen dream. Wow.
00:42:37
Speaker
He said he would, he said he was the one that would probably be the next one. And he would, and he would love to be in a program with them at some point. I was like, huh. And I gave him the, like the rub right there. So like, if you see, he followed any, like, um, any type of like people that do like the graphic designs for like, uh, wrestling and stuff like that, and they do their own type of like deal. A lot of them have, have John Cena and Velveteen Dream, which would be an awesome program because
00:43:05
Speaker
Oh, it'd be an awesome buildup. Yeah, I'm trying to think of someone on Raw or SmackDown that he would kind of be able to put over that wouldn't have something going on. That's kind of an up and coming guy, but it's really, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that he hasn't wrestled with. I mean, the age of Styles and Seth Rollins of the world and Roman Reigns, we've been there and done that with all those guys. Randy Orton, Brock, I don't want to see any of that.
00:43:35
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it would be cool to see that'd be another way to get NXT guys onto the, onto the show. So I'd be all for that shit. I mean, the, the, the promos back and forth between those guys would be pretty cool. Be sick. Yeah. Uh, we have some rumors. I don't know how these just came out today. Some hall of fame rumors. Yeah. These are not confirmed, right? No, they're not confirmed at all that I've seen anyway.
00:44:01
Speaker
The one that I enjoyed hearing was Juice and Liger, and I think someone had talked about that going back the last couple of weeks that he was gonna get a mention after retiring at Wrestle Kingdom. He wrestled one match for WWE at TakeOver against Prince Pretty.
00:44:19
Speaker
Yeah, but he would be an awesome induction and the Bella twins are the other one and This one got me a little hot because I just I was away from from wrestling a lot when they were kind of in their heyday and I don't know. I think they probably carried the company as far as female wise for a long time. They were very marketable and
00:44:42
Speaker
And now, obviously, they have this TV show, which has been running longer than WWE... ECW... Take a shot. WCW Nitro, Money Nitro, which is crazy to think about. You know, there are like 10 seasons. They're both pregnant now and all this shit. I'm sure WWE makes a lot of money off of that show. What do you think about the Bellas and maybe Jushin Liger going into the Hall of Fame? Yeah, it's kind of a... I mean, it's a weird combo. It's like a...
00:45:13
Speaker
I was weird. But yeah, definitely Jushin. I mean, he's only had one match on WWE or F at the time. Actually, no WWE. But yeah, I mean, just out of sheer respect for him, that's definitely a great gesture putting him in. If they do do that, that'd be awesome. I think they would create some new fans if they did that. I'll tell you that much. Any other people that are naysayers of the WWE, and they put Jushin in there, I think that'll
00:45:42
Speaker
from people the right way. The Bele twins. I mean, they do have the longevity. I think they debuted in like that diva search like around like 2006 or seven ish. And they were there for a while. They did a lot for like the Women's Revolution and all that stuff. And I mean, I don't I don't hate it. I guess I don't I don't get it because it seems like it's too soon for them to do that. But I don't hate it at all. I don't
00:46:11
Speaker
By the being in it and I did miss that whole period too when they were wrestling and see them wrestle at all. Um, I left around like 2003 and came back like, or I like with a Rocky back pretty much. Yeah. So I just had a whole like, like a Ruth Ruthless aggression and all that stuff. So, I mean, they probably did whatever they're doing, but I don't hate it. It's, it's whatever it's.
00:46:37
Speaker
There's been far worse people adopted. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they did have a large impact. I mean, it just shows you the span of WWE where, you know, these are two, you couldn't be more opposites where, you know, juice and liger, you know, don't even know if he speaks in English. I never heard him talk and he hasn't, you know, had a, you know, most wrestling fans, you know, that are going to WWE shows. Probably don't even know his.
00:46:59
Speaker
body of work. He's such a great wrestler and then you go over to the Bella Twins which are you know basically eye candy and were during a time when women's wrestling was kind of a joke but they both have had impacts in different ways so I could see both of them going in for sure. The Dark Order, oh no you have this wrong, you put Dark Order going dark. I think you might, do you mean the Nightmare Collective going away?
00:47:28
Speaker
How did you get those confused? They're so different, Marco. Yeah, that's right. They're a different group, that's right. How about that? What's her name? Brandy Rhodes. I can't talk today for some reason. She had an interview where she basically said it wasn't her idea, she wasn't really in love with it, but she went with it.
00:47:50
Speaker
You own the company. Whose idea was it? That shit doesn't fly when you're... Who's above you that can tell you to do something you don't want to do? Very convenient in passing the buck to other people. I guess they've dropped the Nightmare Collective, which was just an awful angle and really was not explained well at all, and just really too similar to some of the other things they're doing on the show now.
00:48:16
Speaker
I guess, I don't know if it's good or bad that they listen to fans and kind of drop stuff prematurely, but we'll see what happens to the Dark Order. I'm still hoping that they can salvage that. We didn't even talk about Matt Hardy probably having a swan song on Raw getting a concerto from Randy Orton, I think.
00:48:37
Speaker
He tweeted goodbye before that Raul was even off the air. And it seems like he's going to be kind of a free agent to go somewhere. It would be kind of lazy and just kind of boring if he's the guy behind the Dark Order. I guess it would be a pretty good get for AEW. He's really a shell of himself as far as wrestling. I mean, he would be really a mouthpiece, but there's really nobody in that, you know, collective of guys that's really a go to wrestler. I mean, I guess.
00:49:08
Speaker
I don't know. How do you feel about Matt Hardy possibly showing up in AEW? I mean, I'm not against it, but if he does show up, hopefully it's like in the broken Matt Hardy character, but if he shows up at the Dark Order, I'm not a big fan of that idea at all, but time will tell. Yeah. Do you have somebody crying in the background there?
00:49:37
Speaker
I'm not sure, I don't... There's nobody at my house. Do you think? Yeah. Alright, cool. Just, I have really good ears, so... I mean, you have, like, great hair, I don't hear anything. Yeah, yeah.
00:49:52
Speaker
I'm all the way across the country, I can hear that baby crying. I know, it's just a microphone, jeez. Yeah, yeah, jeez. The Rock's daughter, Simone Johnson, is now full time at the WWE Performance Center. She would become the first ever fourth generation wrestler to perform for the WWE. I think this is cool, I think obviously she has
00:50:18
Speaker
The pedigree, a good family background obviously of many, many generations of wrestlers, but I'm afraid that she's going to be pushed super hard even if she's not good in the ring. We've seen it with other people, Mr. Perfect Son, Curtis Axel, some other people that they're good in the ring and they're just not up to their parents.
00:50:41
Speaker
pedigree, I guess you could say. Um, but I'm sure they're going to, they're going to do everything in their power to make her a top female superstar for this company for a long time. If it means they get more of the rock on their, on their television programs. Yeah. I don't think you'll see the rock that much. I think the way it sounds is that she's going to be like on her own pretty much. She's going to do her own thing and be her own superstar. I mean, that's the interview when she did the interview.
00:51:07
Speaker
Um, it was like a five minute interview. She actually spoke about being her own person and not having her father involved. So, I mean, you might see him pop up, um, once in a, maybe, maybe once, but I don't think you'll see him as much as like Ric Flair with Charlotte or anything like that. Um, I think she'll stand on her own and hopefully they don't push her to the moon and ruin her at all.
00:51:28
Speaker
Yeah, I hope not. I mean, I would assume she's going to get an instant view with Charlotte flair or something. They'll build that into something pretty big, but, uh, that's a lot to her. Uh, we talked about last week killer cross and, uh, Timothy Thatcher signing with the, with the, uh, the performance center. So a lot of new talent coming into the WWE. We'll see where all of that goes. What else did I have written down here? Uh, we talked about El Segundo. Uh, yeah. All right. Let's get into our go figure segment.
00:52:05
Speaker
All right, buddy. Here we go. Sheena's not here, so we've got to pick up the slack. This is our Go Figure segment. Our buddies have toy spotting and all kinds of other segments that they do. This is our version. This is our Go Figure segment, where we talk about our fig hunting exploits. And I know Sheena had a good fig hunting story. We should get that out of her next week on the show here. Yeah.
00:52:33
Speaker
But I do want to announce that we are going to start our next week right here on the Chick Foley Show. This is our first annual Hall of Fame. This is going to be the Peg Warmer Hall of Fame.
00:52:48
Speaker
myself, Marco and Sheena will be voting along with several other members of our inner circle which wrestling figures we will put into our peg warmer Hall of Fame. This is going to be from everything from LJNs all the way up to Mattels. So I know the Major Brothers do their Hall of Fame for best figures. We're kind of going to go when they zig or zag and do something different and I'm pretty excited about this. We did a Patreon episode
00:53:18
Speaker
sometime last year me and Sheena with our peg warmer Mount Rushmore of the best or the best or worst I don't know what you want to call it but it'll be pretty fun there's some there's some ones right now that are warming the pegs I mean that you look at those Dane O'Brien and Triple H figures I know those have been around a lot of my Walmart's I don't know about for you to Marco I didn't actually seen any this
00:53:43
Speaker
It's pretty much just empty, there's nothing at all. If anyone needs a Triple H or Daniel Bryan with that Planet Championship belt, let me know. What did you pick up this week, Marco? Nothing. I actually had Sheena send me the Brock Lesnar
00:54:09
Speaker
Um, ultimate. Ooh. Nice. Yes. From our friends at ringside, uh, collectibles, the greatest website on the internet to get wrestling figures well before they end up in your stores. You can use code chick Foley for 10% off of your order there. Sorry to interrupt you, Marco. I didn't need to get that, get my shit in there. No, definitely.
00:54:31
Speaker
That's that's priorities pal. Have you taken that out of the package yet? No, actually I just got it today. So cool Yeah, it actually looks I mean it looks good in person. I mean the pictures don't do it just a justice at all. So it looks really good What else she also sent me the the rock and Bobby Lashley for from the Royal Rumble series, so
00:54:58
Speaker
Got those two, uh, to get some stuff. Okay. Yeah. So, um, in the, and, uh, there's something else I'm missing. It's, uh, Oh, the hurricane. He was in the hurricane was in the wild at a comic shop. Oh, really? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So I haven't seen that in storage yet. That's cool. I didn't see it anywhere. I just went to this like a local comic shop.
00:55:25
Speaker
that we haven't made like a toy section there. And I was like, oh, snap, look at that. Nice. Yeah, it's cool with the figure. What else? I think that's it for now. I think that's pretty much it.
00:55:37
Speaker
I know after I'm going to remember something, but that's it for now. We'll just end it there. Our good buddy Mike Lanham sent me the Drew McIntyre Elite, the most recent one, for my son. And I was going to ask you, your kid's a little bit younger than mine. What do you do for Valentine's Day? Do you do anything? Your kids can't have it. How old's your oldest? He's three. He's only four this year, yeah. OK, so he can eat candy. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
00:56:07
Speaker
So what we do is, since we have girls, too, who are going to split. So I'm going to get the girls a Valentine's. I'm probably going to get him a card, at least. But so as far as the gift part of it, I'm going to get the girls a gift. And my wife's going to get our son a gift. Oh, that's a good idea. But yeah, so I just like to swap it, just because I have girls. So I want them to know that Valentine's Day is a day that they should be
00:56:34
Speaker
like, feel special and all that stuff. So get them a card so they can keep it. When they get older, they can read it, you know, call me sappy and stupid for writing. Yeah. But yeah, so that's what we're doing. But yeah, I mean, nothing too crazy. But yeah, definitely definitely a card gift candy, that type of thing.
00:56:56
Speaker
Yeah, I have, I'm going to get my son something small. I talked about it in a group chat about what I was going to get him, and you guys thought I was crazy, but I have such a backlog of figures. Also, I forget that his birthday is in March, and then Easter is in April, so I got to parcel out all these figures, but I'll probably have a Matt Riddle basic. I'll give him and maybe something else small and some chocolates or something, but I remember, I mean, I still
00:57:23
Speaker
I got a Valentine's present from my parents until I was moved out. My mom's old school like that. So I got him the Drew McIntyre, or a good buddy, Mike Lanham, who hooked me up with that. And he's been hooking up all kinds of people. He's the Walmart whisperer. So, man, he's finding all kinds of stuff out there. I did get the Jim the Enville Nightheart. I pulled the trigger.
00:57:50
Speaker
Oh, man. Got a loose one off of Mercari, and I touched on this on our Facebook group. I found a guy on Mercari who has found four Jim the Anvil nighthearts in his local Walmarts. He does not collect wrestling figures. It's a cheat code.
00:58:08
Speaker
Yeah, he basically I mean he in this guy posts all kinds of toys. He's basically a scalper. I mean You know, I'll say that in them in the most nicest way. I mean he basically he sold to me for I think it was $38 shipped loose so Yeah, I mean when you factor in the money I would have to spend on eBay or Driving around for it and also I mean I've adding that I have an entire loose collection Of guys from my new generation, you know, so from like 94 to 96 so I
00:58:38
Speaker
I would need two of them I want one in the package and then one for that loose for that collection so I didn't know if I was gonna be able to even find one much less two so I pulled the trigger so I've been talking to this guy I was like dude I have a lot of people that are gonna need figures and no he's found some I think he found like three gorillas you know months ago I put him on the hunt for some cashes onos and some Peyton Royce's like
00:59:03
Speaker
Unfortunately, I'd rather buy this figure from this guy for $10, $15, $20 more. We have so many people in a group that needs them. It's kind of like doing a deal with the devil here, but if we can find someone...
00:59:20
Speaker
you know there's a hundred of us in this group if I can tell them hey man whenever you find we I got a pretty consistent group of people that'll buy it from you you don't have to even put it on any kind of these websites so I've been talking to him back and forth so we'll see how that works and I know a lot of us in the group need the gym the anvil night heart
00:59:36
Speaker
It's a good figure. I wouldn't say it's mind-blowingly good. I think people, because of the rarity of it, think it's just the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don't enjoy the open mouth head. I wish it would have come with an extra head. I think it's cool, but I would love to display it with something else. The cloth jacket is nice. The faux leather jacket. It comes with the hard foundation jacket. It's really cool.
01:00:02
Speaker
So, yeah, it's a pretty dope figure. I like it. And hopefully everybody out there is able to find it. It's been hitting here and there, but some of these Walmart employees are not the most honest people in the world. Again, as talked about last week, I was going to get the Wendy Richter from somebody on Twitter, one of our buddies. His name is Titan Urass, T-Y-T-A-N-U-R-A-S-S, and he sent it to me.
01:00:28
Speaker
and didn't even want anything back. He's like, dude, I need some other figures. So if you find something for me, let me know. So I was like, okay. And then like two days later, Mike Lanham found Andrade and Lindsay Dorado, two figures that this guy was actually looking for. So I was able to get them for him.
01:00:45
Speaker
uh via michael annum but he sent me he's actually part of a small wrestling promotion in west virginia uh called eppw sent me a little koozie and a little keychain uh so thank you man for that appreciate that fig community helping each other out is is pretty cool i still haven't seen wendy rector in any of my stores yet and uh
01:01:06
Speaker
I've been checking the numbers of target. The network spotlights have not been coming in. We got an initial wave of about two or three of my targets, and then it's just been kind of quiet. I don't know if you haven't really seen them in yours, have you? Oh, God, no. No, definitely not. Only network spotlights are the diesel, Oscar, and the first group of people there.
01:01:29
Speaker
awful uh... uh... we're doing that i don't know if i think we announced on the on the show a couple weeks ago we're doing this i call it a book club is not really a book club it's more of a book exchange uh... i got a daniel brian book in the mail from our buddy michael annum and i have i have a book for you that i'm gonna send you in a package with your alister black figure that i found for you and some others some other goodies so um...
01:01:55
Speaker
That'll be coming to you. So if anyone has any wrestling books that they're just kind of sitting around collecting dust, be sure to post them to the Facebook group. Just post a picture and we'll just ship them to each other. You can do media mail via the postal service for like two or three dollars. It's pretty cheap.
01:02:12
Speaker
I think this should be cool to, you know, we all have these books, we read them and they just kind of sit on our shelves and there's so many good wrestling autobiographies out there. It'd be nice to, uh, one of my New Year's resolutions is to be able to read a little bit more. So yeah, got that from Mike. So thank you, Mike, for that.
01:02:27
Speaker
I got a Hurricane Helms figure from Sheena courtesy of Ringside Collectibles. They sent us that whole set and we have a bunch of those to give away over the next coming weeks and months. So thank you Ringside Collectibles for that. She's doing an unboxing video for those pretty soon or I think she already has on her Instagram. If you don't follow Sheena already, she's the reason for our show. Our show is named after her. It's at Chick Foley.
01:02:56
Speaker
On Instagram right now. She has a newborn and a four-year-old or three-year-old that she's contending with so Her appearances on the show are are sparse at the moment, but she'll be back with us shortly That's about it I got a bunch of stuff that I just we decided to move my my son's playroom down to the basement here we used to have like the basement was kind of divide-and-half we had like a
01:03:23
Speaker
just like a couch and a TV just kind of like a area where we'd have neighbors over to watch you know TV and shit and now I guess we have like a main we still have like a main living room upstairs where we do that now so we've just moved all my son's toys down to the basement here so me and him are sharing half the room is the fig cave half the room is the the Nash cave of Legos and all his wrestlers and stuff so
01:03:46
Speaker
That's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad. I think it'd be cool It'd be be good to use the space for something different and gives my wife some more She basically has a whole bedroom as a walk-in closet now. So yeah Actually, she's not fighting funny. I do I do I wasn't if they get something I do it so I did already posted this in the Facebook group, but there was the uh, the the the fill the fill care package that I got to that was uh, that was our
01:04:14
Speaker
Monday, I believe I got it. Or it might've been Saturday. I got it. Okay. Oh yeah. Sorry. Yeah. That was, I get my days lost. Yeah. You got that out. Yeah, there was, there was two, uh, yeah, there was two extra figs and I forgot the, uh, macho man were a rumble. Uh, so that makes it three out of the, out of the four that release as well as the Matt Hardy spotlight, um, the woken Matt Hardy spotlight and a, it was a, uh, Hulk Hogan VHS tape, which was pretty sick. I'm not sure where you got that from.
01:04:43
Speaker
And your DeLorean, you must have jumped in. Yeah, still in the package, right? Yeah, I just threw that in there. I was like, oh, this would be cool. I don't know if you want to open that up if you still have a VCR, but it was a pretty cool little tidbit there. Yeah, and then the mother of all things, it was a t-shirt and a pair of boxer briefs from the Banscape crew, which is pretty awesome.
01:05:08
Speaker
Oh, funny you bring down Manscaped, man, because they are one of our sponsors here on the show. And they sent me and Sheena some grooming tools, which I think she'll probably give to her husband. But guys, if you're listening to this, and I know you've probably tried to do this, so we can just go ahead and talk about it.
01:05:28
Speaker
Shaving your nuts sucks, okay, especially when you use the same razor that you use on your face. This new Lawn Mower 2.0, and now they have the Lawn Mower 3.0, it will not nick or snag your nuts. There's nothing worse than cutting your nuts. I say you're going out for a nice Valentine's dinner. You want to look nice down in your nether regions for your lady friend, and then you cut yourself. You got blood all over the place. Looks like a horror movie.

01:06:46
Speaker
I actually have another care package for you, too. I don't know if I should give everything away that's in there or not. But I'll wait. I'm going to send that out in the next probably on Friday. Yes. Don't get used to all these care packages. It just so happens to be falling. I won something in another Facebook group that I am going to give to you that I think you'll appreciate more than I will. And then I got you the Aleister Black Elite, and I have
01:07:15
Speaker
What else do I have for you? Oh, I have the book, too, from the David Shoemaker book. So another MarcoCare package. I'm used to living the high life over here as the MVP, so. Oh, yeah. Yeah, going to Cheesecake Factory for fast food and all kinds of stuff, man. What are you doing with the wife for Valentine's? You doing anything? I mean, it's hard with kids, but. I know. So we're doing something on Monday, which is President's Day, which is odd enough. That's where we met.
01:07:45
Speaker
Legit met each other so we usually you know Valentine's we don't do the Valentine's Day weekend We'll do like the exchanging like cards and stuff like that But we'll go do we'll do dinner on uh on that Monday, so I'm present sale. We'll do our anniversary dinner It's on a weekend of and it's you Around here definitely you're not gonna get anywhere near a restaurant on balance this whole weekend is gonna be I know I know
01:08:12
Speaker
probably Monday as well because it's a holiday so we'll probably end up not getting to eat anything but we'll take our chances but yeah that's what we do there so a little romantic evening with the uh with the wife
01:08:28
Speaker
Yeah, we actually have a babysitter on Friday, on Saturday night. And I know, I have nothing planned. And my wife is very, she's like, I don't, we're not getting, she still has said to me tonight, she's like, we're not getting each other anything for Valentine's Day, are we? I was like, nope. And she's so, yeah, she's so easy. And I think my wife actually works on Sunday. So I don't know if she'll want to do anything too crazy, but I'm trying to think of something outside the box instead of just going out to eat with her.
01:08:55
Speaker
Maybe like this axe throwing place or the casino to listen. Oh, maybe somewhere to listen to music. I don't know. Something different. Or we'll probably just order Chinese food and watch Netflix for four hours and then pass out. So we will see. So everybody out there, good luck and have a good Valentine's Day. Make sure to treat your lady or man right this weekend.
01:09:19
Speaker
Let's get into some Go Figure news. We saw those Elite 76 are now on pre-order at Ringside Collectibles. There you go, yeah. We got Lacey Evans, John Cena, Heavy Machinery, and Christian, I believe, right? Yeah, what do you think about that set? I mean, everyone except for obviously John Cena, he's kind of like the
01:09:47
Speaker
the Rey Mysterio of these. Literally, there's always a John Cena in every single series, it seems like. But yeah, probably everyone except him, because I want to see what they look like in person, especially the Lacey Evans. I'm very excited about that one, depending on what gear they're going with. I think they had a prototype of that. So it's like her NXT.
01:10:13
Speaker
Lacey Evans, Gary, I believe they go with. Okay. And that one, which is pretty cool. USA, a pinup type of outfit. Yeah. Um, and then, well, it was heavy machinery. Definitely. Um, that's going to be the, that's probably going to be the target of everyone as heavy machinery because where they are right now and the love for her for that team, especially the, uh, the big guy there. Um, and brutal dog, the, the brute Christian will be pretty sick as well, I think.
01:10:44
Speaker
That's kind of a weird figure to have in that set, but I'll take it. I'm hoping they eventually do a set of just kind of all flash. They've done this obviously in the past, but just keep some of the flashback folks separate because it really doesn't fit.
01:11:01
Speaker
Yeah. Um, but I'm, you know, I've, I was never, I know people were really high on that figure. I was never a Christian fan. So if anybody needs that figure when I'm out. Oh, you weren't a peep dude. You weren't a part of the peeps. No. I just never, I just didn't see it in him, man. I just thought he was boring. I mean, maybe, you know, it's just my personal preference. I'm not saying anybody else is wrong. Um, I'm definitely going to pick up Lacey Evans. I'm definitely going to pick up Otis. I think Tucker is going to end up being a peg warmer for people. You don't think so?
01:11:30
Speaker
I mean, I think everyone's going to want Otis now, you know? But this whole set is just weird. John Cena and Strowman, I guess they haven't made an Elite for them in a while, but they have those top talent, top picks, whatever they're called. I'm surprised they're doing a Braun Strowman, especially because he doesn't change his look all that often.
01:11:52
Speaker
We will see what happens there, but that is available for pre-order on our Friends Ringside Collectibles. You can go to WrestlingFigures.com to get there. I mean, that's Elite 76. Let's look at Elite 74. That has just now started hitting stores. Elite 75, I'm surprised you saw on a store. I haven't seen any stores yet. They probably ordered it kind of separately if it's a little small comic book store.
01:12:20
Speaker
Yeah, so I don't know when Elite 76 will hit stores probably May, June, you know? Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, because April, I mean, damn, it's almost March now, which is crazy to think about. So yeah, Ringside Collectibles is the place to go, man. Check them out.
01:12:36
Speaker
If you're a listener of the Major Brothers and you're a Patreon subscriber, you've already listened to their episode this week, they let us know on their show that they found that the network spotlights have run their course. That line is done.
01:12:52
Speaker
Which is not a shocker. It's a random fucking line of figures like I don't even understand and like Any of like what is the ricochet? What is like? I thought when you were gonna do a network spotlight They would be like a big moment like you know Hulk slamming Andre type of thing or a barbershop window type of figure You know like you know stuff you can go back on the on the on the network and watch But it's just kind of end up being a hodgepodge of you know of shit so
01:13:21
Speaker
Uh, they're canceling that. I think they're going to announce at, uh, the toy fair, the next exclusive line is going to be replacing it. And they have, you know, in their notes here, it says it's going to be replaced with an exclusive line that Mattel has long-term plans for.
01:13:35
Speaker
So I'm intrigued for this. I don't know what it's going to be. Like what do you think that they would have long-term plans for? I'm assuming it's not the retros. The only thing I could think of would be cool to have like a throwback line where it would be like the first set would be all WCW guys, then the next set would be ECW, and then you could do like
01:13:57
Speaker
Oh, just smaller promotion. Just a Harley race, another Harley race figure, an NWA or something. What would you think? What would be another cool line for them to do that you think that would be popular? If they do get the licenses for ROH that they're supposed to do with the network, maybe an ROH.
01:14:20
Speaker
AJ Styles and ROH and all those guys. Oh, good call, yeah. Sam Punk and all that, yeah. Yeah, if TNA, they get that library, maybe they have access to the Booker T and TNA and the AJ Styles look and all that stuff.
01:14:38
Speaker
pretty cool like the main event mafia they can have that would be cool but I think you know they would have to like announce that then they would start making the figure so would probably be like you know a year out from that but that is a good idea yeah um I don't know what else it could be maybe like if you did they've already tried to do like a like an attitude era set that just kind of flopped on Amazon but it would be cool to do like a
01:15:02
Speaker
Golden Era maybe? Something like that, like a newer version of the Golden Era. Yeah. Like Macho's, Jake the Snake. They have that special coming on the network for the ruthless aggression era. Maybe you run that back and do like Doctor of Thuganomics and you do a young Randy Orton, a young Brock Lesnar. Young Patisa. Still a lot of guys that fans would recognize from that time period that would fail.
01:15:30
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, they have long term plans for it. It has to be something that can be kind of, you know, just go more than just, you know, something that can go for more than just six to eight months. I don't know. That's cool. That's another something that we're going to announce at that New York Toy Fair.
01:15:45
Speaker
And we talked about it. That's going to be the last weekend. That's something, the 22nd of this month. Yes. And myself and Marco and Sheena will jump on and do a Patreon episode that weekend just to kind of, there's going to be so much new stuff, especially with AEW figures coming out and being announced. And of course, Mattel's going to announce a bunch of cool stuff. So we will have a special episode that weekend that will probably drop that Monday morning of all the stuff that was announced at the toy fair because
01:16:15
Speaker
Typically, that's the spot where they announce a lot of stuff coming up for the entire rest of the year. So we don't really know. Besides Elite 76, we don't really have word what the next Elite set's going to be, right? Yeah, no. There hasn't been any word yet. There's rumors that it's going to include the Fiend and some other stuff. Yeah. Maybe a fun house pack. That'd be pretty cool, like a Firefly.
01:16:40
Speaker
If I was to pack with Bray Wyatt and the feed, that'd be pretty sick. That would be cool, yeah. And all the little puppets and stuff. That'd be great. That would be awesome. Yeah. What if you did like current wrestlers, like how they used to look? Like you could do like a Dolph Ziggler in like the Spirit Squad outfit. I don't know if that would be like really a line that people would buy, but I think that would be pretty cool.
01:17:05
Speaker
That'd be pretty awesome, actually. Yeah. All right. Other than that, oh, the WWE pops are hitting stores in Walmart. I think the Hulk Hogan one is still, that was Chad Roberts on our, he's our official pops correspondent now. I think I've named him. Yeah.
01:17:24
Speaker
Man, so yeah, the Hulk Hogan one is on the Walmart website. I think it's 10 bucks. That's a pretty cool looking pop. Yeah. Well, that one came out jumping. It goes from $10 to $35, and then back down again. I've been watching it for the past couple of days when it pops up, no pun intended, when it goes up and then it comes back down. And it's not sold by a third party. It's sold by Walmart. But the price just jumps $20 more than what it
01:17:55
Speaker
is and the armory of the giant stays the same which is kind of strange so
01:18:00
Speaker
That is weird. Yeah, I've just went onto the Walmart website and I do not see it, so maybe there. Oh, it's gone. Oh, it's gone. It's gone already. Sorry. We should have recorded earlier. Yeah, right. By the time people listen, it's going to probably be back up there. Some deals on Amazon. If you're looking for any of the top picks, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins figures, they're on there for $9.99.
01:18:26
Speaker
So not a bad little dealio there. You get free shipping if you're a Prime member. And the WrestleMania Triple H figure 1339. And you get the Bludgeon Brothers for 11 bucks. And every once in a while you see some stuff popping up on Amazon. I always check Amazon like every day just to see what's on there.
01:18:50
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, good shit, man. Uh, let's get into our retro wrestling, no, let's get into our random merch of
Nostalgia and Iconic Matches
01:18:57
Speaker
the week. And this is one that I, uh, I definitely enjoy because I had these as a kid. This is the Royal Rumble 95 VHS, uh, with a set of pogs attached to it. Yeah. I say, yeah, I found this and I asked you guys, I was like, I was like, what kind of random virtue do you guys like to see? Cause I was kind of like fried.
01:19:19
Speaker
I was like, I can't think of anything. And then you're like, what about pogs? And I was like, you know what? Let me find some pogs with A. And I was like, there's a bunch of pogs on eBay, by the way, if anyone's actually looking for them. There's a ton out there. I have been looking for the WWF ones. Oh, yeah. To just search WWF pogs. And there's tons of people selling them. There's whole sets. I thought this one was pretty cool because it came with a VHS of the Royal Rumble 1995.
01:19:48
Speaker
The price is $399.99. And you get a stack of Pogs. It looks probably like a whole series of Pogs. And it looks like it's brand new. Yeah, it's still in the package, yeah. Factory sealed, yeah. I wish Sheena was on because she actually said in our group chat that she won a POG
01:20:10
Speaker
tournament. She shoots third place at a Pong tournament. What is that? A Pong tournament? I have no clue. I used to buy these things all the time. I don't think I ever even played a game of Pong. I just would collect them. They just look cool. I'm sure the companies loved to make them because they were just like a little tiny piece of paper.
01:20:31
Speaker
you know you could sell for like five bucks but yeah I actually this is pathetic but the other night I was searching through I have all these boxes of old like baseball cards and all this stuff from my parents house as a kid and I had this whole set of WWF pause I had collected and yeah they weren't they weren't in there I couldn't find them so now
01:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, and I was like, oh man, I know exactly what they look like and like the tube, they're like one of those plastic tubes. They had like a bunch of like Lex Luger ones and you know, Razor Ramon ones and Hakushi ones, but I couldn't find them. So they're probably, they're probably gone. So I'll probably buy those on eBay. Of course, what a waste of money. Just, I'll buy them just to have them sit here. I'll probably lose them again.
01:21:19
Speaker
I'm trying to look up the rules of it, it's so confusing. I think you have to hit them and then they flip over, you get to keep them, right? That's the reason I didn't want to play, because I didn't want to lose any of my paulks. Yeah, you don't want to lose a Razer Ramon, or like, just a perfect one of those ones. Yeah, god no.
01:21:37
Speaker
So yeah, this one is three hundred ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents with four dollars and thirty-five cent shipping You get the VHS plus the pogs Still in like the still on the wrapper factory sealed. Yeah, so if you're a if you're a big pog guy, there you go You want a pog talk on the show That's right. That's why I picked it I was like oh then she's like I was at a tournament and I went third place. I was like
01:22:05
Speaker
You got to tell that story. Yeah, what did she say? Like in her school or like in the mall or something? Is that a ball? Yeah, it was a ball-pog tournament. She came in third. That was Kentucky. So that's like their culture. That's like a museum. That's like the museum equivalent of Kentucky. It's like a hog tournament.
01:22:25
Speaker
She didn't kill us. She's not even here to defend herself. I know, right? She didn't kill us being in front of her home. She's been saw and logged for hours now. Let's get into our retro wrestling recommendation of the week, sponsored in part by ProWrestlingTees.com. We have our Patreon subscribers pick our new t-shirt design of the three that our friend Extra Cooler made for us, and that should be up on their website in the next week or so.
01:22:53
Speaker
So I think people were like that that it's a in your house style logo, which was I always loved that Logan I think he did an awesome job with that shirt We're gonna have it in black and gray and maybe maybe white shirt some I'm always fighting for not just strictly black t-shirts. So But this is a good match. Walk us through this from WrestleMania 18 Yeah, so we so it's picked by one of our listeners and patreon subscribers Cody Baker and
01:23:22
Speaker
This is on here a couple of times, I believe, but he's, he picked this one and that was like a couple of people like put a list of matches. So he gets the credit for it. WrestleMania 18, the rock versus Hulk Hogan icon versus icon. And I actually watched this match recently, maybe a couple of weeks ago, maybe actually, yeah, maybe a couple of weeks ago. And it's, it's great. If you love, if you love like the
01:23:49
Speaker
It's old school style of wrestling. So it'd be like the, if you like Hogan versus warrior, Hogan versus anybody actually, it's in that style, which is great. And Rock, the Rock did a great job of like, like playing to Hulk Hogan style of wrestling. And, uh, it's really good. The, the, the crowd was obviously totally on Hulk Hogan side, the whole match. And they slightly turned to the rock side after when he actually won. Um,
01:24:17
Speaker
But yeah, if you've seen, if not spoiler alert, The Rock does what E.B. Tolkien becomes the ultimate icon after the icon versus icon match. But yeah, just everything from the stare downs that they do, from the test of strength, all that stuff. It's super old school and me being old and coming over that time. This is probably one of my favorite matches, I think.
01:24:42
Speaker
Yeah, it's a I mean the crowd for this match is insane. I mean people are like fever pitch like old-school 80s style crowd for this and They you know the rock came in huge and but you know the crowd was a hundred percent behind Hollywood Hogan I remember listening to the Pritchard show He talked about this show and like the next night they had to fly you know They flew Hogan home to go get the red and yellow outfit so he can come out on Raw the next night
01:25:12
Speaker
And get a huge pop there. But yeah, man, what a great match wasn't even the main event. It was a Triple H defeated Jericho To win the title in the middle of a match too. That was yes He always wins the title at WrestleMania. I don't think he's ever lost the title. That's another oh
01:25:34
Speaker
Sorry for another time. I was, I was, I was bummed. I mean, as good, as good as that Rock Hogan match was, I would've loved to seen Hogan against Stone Cold Steve also, which we never got. Yeah. He, he wrestled Scott Hall on this card and, uh, you know, it was not the same. Uh, the next year was, uh,
01:25:58
Speaker
We were done. I don't think I think Stone Cold wrestled it again. Did he at WrestleMania? That was his last WrestleMania Was it it's a rock? Oh, no I'm trying to think was that 20? No WrestleMania 20 was
01:26:18
Speaker
Oh, I don't think so, man. 20 was Goldberg versus Lesnar. And 19 was Brock versus Angle in the main event. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. Rock versus Stone Cold. And that was just it wasn't even a title match. It was just. Yeah, no, it was basically the Rock in the wind because he's never being stone cold out of WrestleMania. And he made that was like his ride off into the Sun Center. But I think, yeah, they tell him on the Pritchard show.
01:26:48
Speaker
Um, and Pritchett was just like, it actually so cold set himself. He was like, he knew he was like done, like wrestling, like his body was like way too beat up to like, continue, continue on. So, um, he talks about like, I think it was on a show on his podcast. I actually talked about like, when he actually, like you heard the one, two, three, the match is over. Like it was like, basically everything lifted off of him. Like he was like.
01:27:11
Speaker
He was done. Like he knew he was finished and he was fine with it. Nice. I mean, that was 2003. He hasn't even had an inkling of ever coming back. So yeah, that was Hollywood Rocky face too. Yeah. When the rock was a heel.
01:27:23
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. That was good. That was that was a great WrestleMania. This this this streak of these WrestleMania 18, 19 and 20 was really was really the last like three years that I'll go back and watch really fondly as like a I don't know like a nostalgia type of feel and all the rest feel like very, you know, very modern current. But these always feel like good because you still have Stone Cold and The Rock and yeah and Hulk Hogan freaking wrestling, you know. Yeah, we might have to do a
01:27:51
Speaker
Now I'm thinking about to do like something with the rivalry is like the greatest rivalry or the top 10 rivalry rivalry. I can't even say it. Yeah, we might have to do something like that because that's a lot of debate like who would the best like feud and all that stuff in the history of the WWE or even WCW like and it's always rock awesome. That's probably like because they've been invented three Wrestle medias and
01:28:19
Speaker
I think that would be a good topic of discussion. That would be good, yeah. That's a good call. There's so many of them. I mean, Cena, Edge, Cena, Orton, man, yeah. Let's get into, so yeah, go check out WrestleMania 18 this weekend. Watch The Rock versus Hulk Hogan. Thank you, Cody Baker from Ohio.

They have been kicking ass lately. They're doing the best and worst managers of all time.
01:30:30
Speaker
Also, yeah, it has been good I almost like I selfishly like won't listen to their show for a week And then I'll like build up like two episodes so I can have like a whole day in the car Driving around for work where I can listen to both of them, but yeah, it's been pretty fun They do a different one every month or every week
01:30:47
Speaker
And lately they've been doing this thing to start the show of something that was an influence over the business. And they've done just basically the pay-per-view format. What else have they done for that? They've done a couple of different things. The TLC match was cool. Yeah, TLC. They've done Monday Nitro was a huge influence on wrestling. Oh, yeah. The other one was superstar Billy Graham.
01:31:13
Speaker
influence on basically wrestlers in general. So like Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, Jesse the Body Ventura, like just like his lineage and even like newer wrestlers today, they go down the line. But yeah, they're really great. If you're not listening to the show, you're doing yourself an injustice. You should definitely be listening to that show there.
01:31:36
Speaker
It's probably one of the best sounding shows, by the way. It is. Oh, yeah. Those guys are like radio pros. Yeah. Like I listen to like other podcasts and it's like kind of like low, except for ours. I was just great. But other other podcasts you like listen to is like you have to turn up the volume. I turn on OVP. It's just like it's it's just clear, concise. The guys have great voices to like.
01:32:00
Speaker
They don't bubble or fumble their words. They're good dudes. The only thing I don't like about their podcast is I can tell how much work they put into it, and then it makes me feel very insecure about the podcast that I do, where I just drink three beers and then turn the microphone on. Pretty much. That's what makes us special, though. Yeah, we're special, yeah. Our balls are a lot more shaven than ours are, because we've got the landscape thing going on. Exactly.
01:32:27

We will preview some of these other pay-per-views going on. It will preview this New York Toy Fair, which has been pretty fun. I would love to go to this. I don't think it's even open to the public, but I could be wrong.
01:33:14
Speaker
But we'll preview that because we have AEW figures coming out from Jazzwares. Mattel is going to drop a bunch of new shit. I'm assuming we're going to see that Fiend figure, which I'm going to buy three of those as soon as they go up on ringside collectibles. That is not a store exclusive. That'll be on ringside, I'm assuming.
01:33:33
