Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the season finale of the Chick Foley Show here. I am one of your hosts, Phil Gentilla, aka The Hot Take Kid, coming to you live from the Jimmy's Famous Seafood Studios here in downtown Catonsville, Maryland.
00:00:38
Speaker
We're glad to have you guys listening to us. We have a awesome show here. Welcome in my co-host, Sheena Phelps. Sheena, how are you doing this evening? Good. I am good, man. Having a little growth spurt or struggle with the baby face. So I feel like he went on a sleep strike last night and really turned heel on us. I'm like, wait a minute, this can't be happening. Like, you're the baby face. You know what I mean? You've been doing so good. And all of a sudden, he had a heel turn.
00:01:07
Speaker
Let's hope that he's, he's, um, you know, fixed his evil ways and he's back to being the awesome little sleeper that we know and love. He turned Canadian, I guess he turned, uh, whatever you call it. Bret Hart's heel turn. That was a good run for him, by the way. We don't, it doesn't get talked about enough, but man, I wish he would have stuck around for the attitude era. But, uh, yeah, hopefully, uh, hopefully the baby face gets his S together because we got, we got a show to record Marco, the MVP. How are you, dude?
00:01:36
Speaker
I am doing great over here in the gorilla position. I'm actually going to the same thing right now. I'm having the faction. All three members are not being the friendliest at night right now. They're waking up at all hours, one after another.
00:01:56
Speaker
Uh, I can't imagine three, three separate sleepers. I know. I'm already like, I'm already overwhelmed and like thinking about having to do bedtime with two because listen, I love.
00:02:11
Speaker
I love being a mom. I love the baby face with all my heart, but you know what's something that like you just take for granted is like having to do like bedtime and bath time every night, you know, like, dude, you just like, like, like put yourself to sleep. Like, you know, we do it. We're grownups, you know, but no, it's like, it's, it's the routine, you know? Um, and you just like, it's so funny. I can't imagine doing it with three now that I'm like, Oh my God,
00:02:36
Speaker
I'm going to have two. So all of you people who are out there and you are child free, you know, enjoy your evening routines where you get to like unwind a little bit and, you know, drink a little drink, a little beer and kick back and do whatever you want. Sleep in on the weekends.
00:02:51
Speaker
Yeah, one of these days if you ever decide to be living the family life, it's like washing butts and reading books and putting on pajamas and brushing teeth.

We've been finding a bunch of stuff out in the wild. So we have 66 sets of eyeballs going out and fig hunting and helping each other out to avoid all of us from paying scalper and eBay prices for crap.
00:04:19
Speaker
It's been very helpful, very fun, and we continue to grow with that. We actually have six new Patreons to discuss tonight, Sheena.
00:04:27

00:04:57
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was the best part. We need to talk about that.
Food Reviews and Wrestling Highlights
00:05:00
Speaker
Yeah. Sheena did a a just a wasn't a blind taste test, but you just kind of reviewed. I was really curious about how they all held up like head to head to head. I feel like, you know, we had the new KFC chicken.
00:05:14
Speaker
and donut sandwich. I had the Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich, their fried chicken sandwich. And then I had a classic chick-fil-a sandwich. And actually over the weekend or this earlier in this week, my birthday, um, the heel husband and the baby face and I went to Shake Shack and I had a chicken shack for the first time.
00:05:33
Speaker
damn it was good too so i mean i don't know if it's in those same category it's more of a quick service than like a fast food type situation with shake shack but yeah it was damn good too have you ever had a chicken shack i have not i've had shake shack i do want to wish you a happy belated birthday uh haven't been able to talk to you since that happened so uh
00:05:51
Speaker
happy birthday there but uh... yeah there was it was a cool video the chick the chick-fil-a video the chick-fil-a sandwich uh... placed higher than i thought it would but uh... mice my uh... pop eyes are still out they said it's gonna be told november till they have this goddamn chicken sandwich november are you know what what are they doing i mean it's just chicken what what could be i mean they're losing so much business my wife's like yeah but they're the people's gonna people are gonna be like you know ready for it to come back and like chomping at the bit but i mean they had the whole country wrapped around their finger and
00:06:21
Speaker
it's just someone had to have gotten fired for that yeah and honestly like you can't you can't wait around like that because you know the next big thing could come through i mean there could be like some sort of freaking hot dog craze you know what i mean it comes through and like steals all the media attention like i get it like if it was like the strategic plan to like
00:06:40
Speaker
you know, create this supply and demand and like media frenzy type thing. Um, but yeah, you got to get back on that within like a couple of weeks, you know, at most, because the way things move now, I mean, Popeye's chicken sandwich is going to be in the rear view for long. I mean, the next new food craze is going to come along.
00:06:56
Speaker
Yeah, so besides chicken review sandwiches, I did an unboxing video, Sheena's done some too, and all of our giveaways you'll be entered in as well. So check us out, patreon.com slash Chick Foley Show. If you support the show, that's the best way to do that there. Anything you can do is appreciated and all the money goes right back into the show here. So let's get into the squared circle.
00:07:16

You can use code CHICK at ChalkLine.com to get 15% off of any apparel there. They're always dropping new hotness on their website. Definitely check them out. Let's start off with Raw, guys, and I'll start with you first, Sheena. What was the biggest takeaway from Raw is we're now one week away from Hell in the Cell.
00:07:45
Speaker
Yeah, and my biggest takeaway from Raw was that this was the season finale, and next week is gonna be the season premiere of Raw. First of all, I don't know. I can't remember if they've ever said it like that before. Like, oh, this is the season finale, and the next week is the season premiere. But they literally said season premiere like 3,800 times during the episode. And I was like, is this new? What is this? Why are they keep saying the season premiere? They're trying to make it such a big deal.
00:08:13
Speaker
Yeah, they've they've done it for the last couple years Marco if you can back me up I don't know how long but I think they have to do that because like a lot of the new TV shows They have to have like a like a starting point I guess like for you know when it says like season 28 episode 1
00:08:28
Speaker
Yeah, you know when the new shows come out and stuff, but I mean it's a good way I mean every TV show does it so why not do it and just gives them another You know excuse to kind of like have a special episode which is you know, which is good But you don't think it was like overkill the way that they were like, you know It's always overkill and whatever they're talking about, you know, whether it's 999 or whether it's tout or whatever. They're pimping that week Yeah, it was a little you know, it was definitely the wild card thing. I mean whatever they just rub it in your head
00:08:57
Speaker
I forgot about wild card. Um, but no, seriously, my biggest takeaway, um, was that no one has ever been more scared of something than Seth Rollins is scared of the feed because, Oh man, that segment, you know, I do not get on here and say anything poor about Seth Rollins because I love the man. Um, but he is, he's no, he's not winning any academy awards for that performance on Monday night. It was the most.
00:09:26
Speaker
Just straight. Yeah. His scream was like, it wasn't even like a fearful scream. It was just like, ah. It was so, it was like hard to watch for me because I'm like, why are they booking Seth to be this like cowardice, like screaming heel? And I get it. Like, you know, he kind of like freaks me out when he's on the screen a little bit, you know? And if he was up in my face and there was like crazy flashlight, like shining around and that,
00:09:53
Speaker
you know, screeching music in the background. Yeah. The atmosphere is a little bit creepy and a little bit like, but I feel like what he did last week was a little bit more appropriate, just kind of like scooting to the corner and turning his face away. And he didn't have to like, you know, go full on like, you know, haunted house mode.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yeah, they're definitely putting over the fiend as much as they can, and we saw with him putting down Braun Strowman with the Man of a Claw, which is pretty cool visual. Yeah, I don't think Seth Rollins is going to be in the next Fast and the Furious movie or anything like that, so we can close the book on that.
00:10:29
Speaker
I am interested to see. What was super cool was the top. Did you notice it? Sorry to cut you off, but at the beginning of the show, like they had the Fiend interfere with like, I mean, the very, the very initial title screen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's a big deal. I feel like they never, like they rarely ever let anyone like edit that or mess with that. And I was like very, very surprised. I'm like, man, they are going all in on this Fiend thing.
00:10:55
Speaker
Do you think this is gonna be, someone on the internet said this, I forget who it was, like they have the masks and everything and all the vignettes and obviously this is the perfect, I mean, if you're gonna do this, this is, you know, we're a couple days away here from October and spooky season, hashtag spooky season. Do you think this is just gonna be a Halloween-like type thing and this is gonna go away after a couple months or, I mean, I don't think it will, but I mean, obviously if they're gonna capitalize on it, this is the time to do it, right?
00:11:21
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. I don't think it's going anywhere. I definitely think they built it appropriately. It's the most over thing in WWE right now. It's the most interesting and intriguing thing that they have going on. But it was so very, very, very smart to really start to capitalize and gain momentum during this like spookier time of year where everybody's kind of in the mood for, you know, like horror and just kind of like,
00:11:49
Speaker
scary things. So I think definitely that that helps create the mood and the mystique of the fiend for sure. Yeah, you had something here on the script that was interesting. What our biggest fear is? What the? Yeah, kind of deep here.
00:12:03
Speaker
Well, I was just thinking, you know, because I was like, obviously like Seth Rollins biggest fear is, um, you know, the fiend at the moment. He even admitted like, you know, he thought he was in a nightmare and didn't wake up. So I was thinking to myself, like, I wonder what Marco and Phil's biggest fear is. Like, what, what do you, like, if you were like locked in a room with something and it was like, what would be the scariest thing?
00:12:25
Speaker
What are you most scared of? I don't know if it's locked in a room. But one thing that always freaked me out, if you go on a cruise ship and you're out on your balcony in like the middle of the night, just like the darkness of the water and how there's like there's nothing for like you can't see anything. And like just like falling into that and like just being in the middle of the ocean like just like basically you're in space stranded. Yeah. Just like there's nothing that you can do. There's nothing to hold on to.
00:12:54
Speaker
Oh God, it freaks me out. It's like so dark. Have you ever been on a cruise ship like at night? No, I've never been on a cruise ship. Like to look out into the ocean and like, you know, you're in the middle of nowhere. You're just, you know, going between islands or, you know, leaving from the East coast or something. It's pretty freaky.
00:13:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty, that is pretty scary to think about just like being out in the middle of nothingness. You mentioned space. Space is not my biggest fear, but it's definitely something that gives me like, I don't like space movies. I don't like when they're, you know, in spaceships, like floating around. I don't like any of those movies. What's the one with Sandra Bullock?
00:13:33
Speaker
Oh, I was just thinking about that movie. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Those those kind of movies, like they give me the worst anxiety jumping from like one part of the spaceship to the other. Like, oh, my God. Fixing something. Oh, God. Yeah. Just being trapped up there in like the atmosphere and the nothingness like that. Like, like it's kind of like the same mentality of like being out in the middle of the ocean. But I feel like at least in the middle of the ocean, like there's people there to help in space. Like there's nobody there to help you. You know what I mean? So like that. I hate that stuff. Marco, what would you say? Like, what's your what's something that you're super scared of?
00:14:04
Speaker
um space would be one of them definitely um but actually that movie was called gravity gravity oh yeah what did she say what did she say i didn't she didn't say okay she didn't know the name of it i couldn't i can never think of it either because yeah um interstellar is what i always think it's an interstellar oh interstellar yeah i don't like that movie either yeah i don't like that movie either i mean you're a horror movie person so event horizon was a pretty scary movie i'm not sure if you've ever seen that with uh lawrence fishburne it was basically just like a ghost
00:14:34
Speaker
spaceship in space. Oh, yes. Yeah, no, thanks. But, yes, sleep paralysis is a scary thing. Oh, my God, Marco. I would not have pictured you saying sleep paralysis. Yeah, I had it once. That's why I go by and then they did a Netflix documentary on it. Yeah. Where people are like telling their accounts like like what they see. I didn't see any like like crazy tall
00:15:15
Speaker
Yeah. I have another one. When you leave your leftovers at a restaurant and you don't realize till you get home, that's the worst. That's. Oh my God. No, the worst, the worst is when you're in the car on the way home. How many, like he'll husband, he'll husband is the absolute worst. Like he's like, I'll get the food. And I'm like, are you sure?
00:15:30
Speaker
that sounds great
00:15:35
Speaker
because you've left more food on tables like you know and I hate wasting food so like I get freaking I get like pissed off I'm like I can't believe you left the food on the table especially if it's like something you've planned like you purposely didn't eat it all so you could like have it like cold the next morning or nothing nothing worse nothing worse yeah it's a big difference I would have to say um
00:15:56
Speaker
My biggest irrational fear, I'm sure this is no surprise if you watch any of my Instagram stories or anything, but spiders is like the one thing that I cannot handle. I don't care how small, how big. It is something that I just, I can't even watch them on movies.
00:16:13
Speaker
Lord of the Rings when Frodo's getting like rolled up in that little and that could do that in the giant spider like F that and like the forbidden forest on Harry Potter I'm like of all the things they could have been following into the forest like why the Freak are they following a spider, you know, so yeah. Yeah spiders I mean if a spider were to lay in on my body I think that would be the end for me like it would just be like it would be it would be lights out like TKO
00:16:39
Speaker
gone, you know, and I'm like, I tell Brad, I'm like, Brett, like, I love you more than anything. And I hope my mother, my motherly instinct and adrenaline like kicks in. But if a spider were on you, dude, I don't, I would be like, run the opposite way. Yeah. Like paralyzed, like, Oh dude, you know, so
00:16:59
Speaker
Um, so I think we can equate all those things to the way that Seth Rollins was feeling when he was seeing the, the fiend. However, I don't know if I, when I saw a spider, I would go, ah. I have one more irrational, I have one more irrational one that you guys might be able to relate to and it's totally irrational. But when I leave my son,
00:17:15
Speaker
with someone like other than my parents or my wife's parents like you know that we take them to this church that my in-laws go to and like you know they have like Sunday school they're the nicest people in the entire world but I'm always like the back of my head like oh my god I hope this guy is not gonna molest my kid or something you know like I don't know these I don't know anything yeah I just I don't know these people and I'm leaving my kid here like for you know for summer camp or whatever you know whatever the Sun you know summer school or whatever
00:17:39
Speaker
And he's always fine, but it's like, you know, just not being able to protect your kid from something It's like, you know, I'm sure every every parent probably has that fear. I don't think that's an irrational fear That's something that all all parents feel because I'm the same way like I don't just leave my kid with anyone Like I have these like friends that like will just go on like Facebook or Instagram like can anyone babysit like Saturday night? I'm like, are you effing kidding me?
00:18:02
Speaker
Anybody on Facebook, like homeless hobos or anybody just, you know, does anybody have a 10 year old that can come over and just like watch my kid, you know, like F that, you know, no, no way. Maybe I'm a helicopter mom. Call me what you will. But yeah, that's definitely not something that's in my wheelhouse for sure.
00:18:19
Speaker
Well, also on Raw, we saw Rey Mysterio become the number one contender with probably the best match of the week between Raw and SmackDown and that fatal five way. I liked that it was an elimination match and I liked how they set it up. I thought Robert Roode wasn't for longer. There was a couple spots where he was about to lose and kind of snuck his way out of it in some heelish tactics. And I was kind of hoping to see him win as something just different.
00:18:43
Speaker
It should be a good match next week with Rey Mysterio taking on Seth. I don't see Seth losing, but something's going to happen.
00:18:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's definitely just setting up some sort of shenanigans between, um, Ray and the Fiend. I think it's just another, um, another way for Ray to, or not Ray, for Bray to attack a legend, you know, and just kind of like set that precedent that like, no, like, you know, he doesn't want to fight Ray at Hell in a Cell. He wants to fight Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell, you know? So he's not going to let Ray get in the way of that. So it's going to end
00:19:14
Speaker
You know, in some sort of, you know, strange ending, the fiend's going to appear somehow. But yeah, I think, I think up until that happens, we're going to get a really good match.
Wrestling Recaps and Analysis
00:19:23
Speaker
I honestly, if I was just picking someone out of a hat, I would have not thought that Ray was going to win that match for sure. Um, so it was definitely a surprise on Raw when he pulled off, pulled off the W there.
00:19:35
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. I was shocked by that, but it's something I don't think we've ever seen that match before, so it's something different for sure. Anything else from Raw before we get to SmackDown? That was when Carmella won the 24-7 title, so that's props to her. It's a little bit too late, though, I feel. I feel like it just didn't get the love and appreciation that it should have.
00:19:58
Speaker
Um, I, I, I had mentioned before, I feel like Carmilla could have been the first ever women's champion. Instead, they gave it to freaking Kelly Kelly on the freaking, on the raw reunion, which meant nothing, you know, um, and then give it to Medusa or Alundra, sorry, Alundra. Um, and, uh, yeah, I just feel like it was a little bit too little too late, you know, and I, there was such an opportunity there for her to turn on our truth. And I guess now our truth is like helping her protect the title.
00:20:25
Speaker
And I thought it would have been just a much more interesting angle if they had turned on one another. But what do I know? Another thing that happened was, did you guys see the Street Profits were announcing the Miz TV special for next week and Hulk Hogan got booed out of the arena? Yes, that was awesome.
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah, it was so, it was so awkward. Like, you know, I mean, you know, most people, they'll just pop anyway. You know, Hulk Hogan, you know, Ric Flair, blah, blah, blah. Um, but yeah, when they said Hulk Hogan, there was an audible boo that happened. And I was like, Oh.
00:21:00
Speaker
Yeah, I'm sure the street profits didn't like having to introduce him, but yeah, awkward. It's like, dude, come on now. But yeah, other than that, it's pretty pretty standard episode of Rob Becky Lynch, you know, had a cool promo backstage with Michael Cole where she just talked about, you know, her her matches coming up and all of that and her facing Sasha and Helen Estelle. So that's about it from raw. Anything else that you guys can you name? Can you name every female 24 seven champion?
00:21:30
Speaker
Can I? I think so. Maria Kanellis, Carmella, Alundra Blaze, Kelly Kelly. Oh my god. And there's one more. Yes. I think this is the one you're going to forget. It was literally like, I really like this girl. She's like a Kardashian kind of. Oh my gosh. Who is it?
00:21:53
Speaker
Oh, what's her name? And now I don't remember. Marco. Eve Michelle or something? No. What's her name? Was it Eve Torres? No. Oh, it's no. Candace Michelle. Candace Michelle. Candace Michelle. Yeah. I thought you were going to forget Maria Kanellis because that was like, you know, it feels like it was like a year ago. That was like one month ago. How could I forget the first pregnant champion? Yeah, true.
00:22:16
Speaker
large and in charge talking about the Foley family being large and in charge. Chick Foley herself is over here, large and in charge. Um, so yeah, I am definitely, uh, I will never forget the first pregnant champion for sure. Um, moving on to smack down. Um, what, what did you guys take away from, from smack down other than they're really trying to push Daniel Bryan back into his baby face role?
00:22:41
Speaker
I just, there's so many bad storylines on SmackDown. There's so many convoluted, awful storylines. Like, what is going on? Like, do they just need to do a complete reset on SmackDown once they get on Fox? Like, I can't even understand anything. Like,
00:22:56
Speaker
Now, I guess they wanted Dane O'Brien to be a face now. All these face and heel turns, like the Charlotte thing, I guess she's a face now. They're very subtly turning people face without even making a big deal of it or not having any meaning behind it. Yeah, come on. It's just confusing. The Dane O'Brien thing could have been like,
00:23:20
Speaker
an awesome gimmick for like years, you know, and you finally turn him face like, you know, two years from now and give him like another like, you know, final run as a champ. But yeah, I'm just convinced that Fox wants the yes chant. You know what I mean? I'm like, that's, that's the only thing I can think is I'm like, dude, Fox wants that yes chant. So they're like, give us a face, Daniel Bryan, because we want the yes chant, you know?
00:23:44
Speaker
Yeah, we saw those two are going to team up at Hell in the Cell against the Bludgeon Brothers. And it sounds like Shane McMahon versus Kevin Owens is actually going to happen on the first episode of SmackDown instead of on the pay-per-view, which is cool. That gives us a cool ladder match. I'm definitely more excited about it as a SmackDown match than as a pay-per-view match.
00:24:06
Speaker
Yeah, I think so too. I definitely think it'll add something to the show. Like we, you know, we have talked about this before, like making, having meaningful matches on the show and not just like, you know, like jumbling a bunch of people together just for the sake of like making it through another week to get to the pay-per-view. Um, I think having, you know, this, this basically like contract for contract match.
00:24:26
Speaker
Um, on, uh, on the first episode of Smackdown is going to be, is going to be really, really good. So we got, I mean, we got Brock Lesnar, um, coming out next week. We got the four horse women, um, coming out hot, which is going to be super awesome. And then like you said, Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan versus the bludgeon brothers, which is convoluted and confusing, but still, I think it'll, I think it'll be entertaining. And then you have this awesome, um,
00:24:52
Speaker
Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon match. So I think that first episode is going to be a banger, dude. They're definitely pulling out all the guns. Yeah. I mean, what sting is going to be there going to have a bunch of big, big names. So I'm excited for that. Yeah. Other than that, Smackdown was kind of just like a dud. Yeah.
00:25:08
Speaker
But it sounds like, I mean, we got to talk about the new announce team. So it sounds like they're shifting things pretty severely in the favor of SmackDown. I mean, it depends on who you ask. Yeah, Michael Cole. Yeah, we'll true. Yeah. Michael Cole, Renee Young, and Corey Graves are on SmackDown. Then we get Vic Joseph, Jerry the King Lawler, which is a throwback, and then some guy I've never heard of, Dio Madden. I guess he's from 205 Live.
00:25:33
Speaker
Yeah. Um, I, that's what I was like the raw announced team is not, I mean, other than Jerry Lawler, you know, I'm just kind of like, okay, well, all right, let's see what they got. You know, um, I think NXT staying the same, right? With, uh, Maro and Beth and Nigel. Don't change, don't change that up.
00:25:50
Speaker
Yes. Don't change anything else about NXT. You're doing good so far. Keep it. Keep it the way it is. Um, but yeah, I mean, you know, I mean the announced teams are what they are. That doesn't really bother me either one way or another. You know what I mean? I mean, I just kind of block out the commentary most of the time. Anyway, speaking of commentary getting like real quick. Um, did you hear Renee? Uh, we're talking about Carmella winning the 24 seven title.
00:26:15
Speaker
Did you hear when Rene told Graves, Graves, you can finally consummate the 24 seven title. And he replied, oh, too late for that. Yeah, that was awesome. I was like, I mean, I was like, wait a minute. Is this something that they've been talking about? And maybe I've just been missing it. Like, are they like an official couple, like out in the public, out in the open? No, I think it was kind of like a hidden, you know, a little.
00:26:36
Speaker
Easter egg type of thing. You know, I'm with Total Divas coming up, but they've shown previews that like of them, you know, on dates together and and all kinds of stuff. So, I mean, I'm sure in the next couple of weeks, whenever that awful show comes back, we'll we'll see them in their non kayfabe attires. Yeah. Oh, something else we didn't mention. Um King Corbin got a new robe and crown which was much more
00:27:03
Speaker
I feel like fitting for his character. I actually, I actually am really digging it, you know, cause I was like, Oh my God, I hate this robe. This crown is so corny. It's so cheesy. Um, I mean, Corbin was definitely the right guy to win, but he, he came out this weekend, like this black leather number with like this John Snow esque, like fur on the shoulders and like a really cool crown and a, and a solid black scepter. I was like, okay, King Corbin, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it.
00:27:28
Speaker
And then AOP was giving me like hardcore, like, uh, Breaking Bad, like Salamanca brother vibes. You know what I mean? I feel like they, like, they are like the big bad version of the cousins on Breaking Bad. You know what I mean? Like they're like speaking, speaking their Spanish, their Spanish promos and like looking at each other. And I'm like, man, they're going to go out there and like assassinate.
00:27:50
Speaker
But that's all I can think about every time I see them is they look like the pumped up version, the stay-puffed version of the Salamanca brothers. People were asking for a push for Chad Gable and he's getting it, but man, he is awful on promos. He is not good.
00:28:10
Speaker
Yeah. He just sounds like a freaking little kid. Well, I mean, you can only be told you're like a little tiny person or a hobbit or a little kid so much before you actually start believing it. Maybe that's what's happening. Maybe he's like, maybe he's like, you know, live in the, live in the gimmick, you know?
00:28:25
Speaker
Guess so, yeah. I mean, it is cool to see somebody different in the spotlight here. And I'm sure I think they're wrestling at Hell in a Cell. So we'll see. I'm sure just another way to get Corbin over more with the haters. It's pretty crazy. I feel like Hell in a Cell has been such an afterthought in this whole thing. You know what I mean? With the Raw and SmackDown stuff, yeah. Yeah, with Raw and SmackDown and NXT and AEW and all this stuff coming up, I feel like it's just gotten lost in the shuffle. Because I mean, what?
00:28:55
Speaker
Uh, two announced matches now, right? Like we got Seth and, uh, well, whoever wins between Seth and Ray, um, Seth, obviously we got Seth and Bray at Helena cell. And then we got Sasha and Becky at Helen in a Helena cell. Um, but other than that, it's just kind of like, you know, all the focus has been on all these new like season premieres and stuff. So.
00:29:16
Speaker
Yeah. Don't forget Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns versus the, the bludgeon brothers too. That's on there. Yeah. Yeah. It's on there. Still a week away. We only have three matches. That's pretty crazy. Um, NXT. So let's talk about NXT. Uh, they are next week is the first week that AEW is going to be live on television and NXT is like pulling out all the stops. Like they're basically like giving us like a mini takeover.
00:29:44
Speaker
next Wednesday. So I mean, yeah, I don't know who's going to win this, you know, ratings war. My money is on NXT because they got like over a million viewers last week. You know what I mean? Like 1.1 million views. And I'm like, that's pretty damn good for NXT. Something that like nobody, no, no mainstream person has really ever had exposure to. You know what I mean?
00:30:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's they've been pulling out all the stops and I just like the production like it's still like the graphics are cool like they're doing like the moving graphics where they you know next week Dakota Kai is coming and she's like, you know the old like attitude era like graphics come up Yeah, I think it's a great. It's a great card. I mean we can run it down real quick then we'll run down the AEW DC are they calling it dynamite? Is that the name of the show for sure? That's an awful name just call it AW understand
00:30:38
Speaker
Yes. AEW on TNT is a lot of, a lot of letters floating around there. Then we got NXT on USA or WWE NXT on USA. I'm like, I'm like Jesus Christ people. Yeah. Acronym's pal.
00:30:55
Speaker
Yeah, I think the biggest thing we have is Matt Riddle won a number one contenders match to face Adam Cole for the NXT title on On this little takeover light as I will call it. So on next week's Next week's takeover or next week's takeover next week's NXT And that is gonna be a banger Save that for a takeover, but yeah, that's that's awesome
00:31:22
Speaker
Oh yeah, like I said, you know they're going to put that on there when it's going up against AEW, just to pull in the ratings and pull in the viewership and things like that. But speaking of Adam Cole, we have a little giveaway that we're doing over on the Chick-Fully Instagram. So I have a quick trivia question for all you guys listening to this show right now.
00:31:41
Speaker
Who did Adam Cole defeat to win his first Ring of Honor World Championship? Okay, yeah, so who did Adam Cole defeat to win his first Ring of Honor World Championship and the first person to DM me the answer to the Chick Foley Instagram is going to win
00:31:59
Speaker
A MOC Elite 71 Adam Cole figure, baby. Yes, do not send the answers to the Twitter account. It's Sheena's Instagram account, please. I want somebody to win. Yes, at Chick Foley. I would hate for you to lose just because you didn't follow instructions. So make sure you send us all that as soon as you can. Obviously, right now, get your fingers typing if you know the answers.
00:32:24
Speaker
Um, and yeah, that's your trivia giveaway. So we're going to be doing this throughout the next couple of weeks doing dropping little trivia for you guys, um, and giving away some figures for all you guys that faithfully and loyally listen to the show. We love you guys. And you guys always share on social media and we're so grateful. So, um, that's your, that's your this week's trivia.
00:32:42
Speaker
Good luck, everybody. So do we have three title matches at Cole Riddle for the NXT title, and then obviously Undisputed Era versus Street Profits for the NXT tag belts? Is Baszler versus LeRae, that's a title match too, right? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, this is going to be, I mean, I don't know how anyone's going to, I got a ticket free from one of our Patreon subscribers on our Facebook, TJ, TJ Makiya, who his wife is pregnant, so congrats to them, Mazel Tov.
00:33:11
Speaker
And he had an extra ticket that he wasn't going to use and just didn't want it to go to waste. So he just gifted it to your boys. So I'm going to try to go down there after work on Wednesday. It's not too far of a drive to DC. That'll be so awesome if you get to go. Yeah, yeah. I don't see it being a problem unless you got to pick the kid up or something. But yeah, it's a pretty good card as well. But I mean, this NXT show,
00:33:33
Speaker
I think it's just going to, I don't know, it's going to be close. What do you think, Marco? I think people tuning in for the first time are going to want to see AEW. We're going to get a lot of people changing back and forth, that's for sure.
00:33:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's going to be, I actually think they might get the higher of the ratings just because it's their first show and people want to see, maybe not in the first hour, but if they're going to do the first hour or second hour thing. I think this is the first week for both hours are going to be on USA. Yeah, so I think it's going to be like an AEW buy a little bit just because it's the newer product.
00:34:12
Speaker
out of the two and people want to see what's going on with it. And the matches are pretty decent for what I see. They're not, I mean, if you're familiar with like the AW guys, but I think they might edge it out a little bit. I could be wrong, but I think because it's a new thing, more people may be interested in it just to see what it looks like.
00:34:34
Speaker
true true but i just feel like with the wwe branding and the wwe name i think uh you know i think it's gonna be i think it's gonna be close but i think nxt is gonna pull it off this week's nxt was freaking awesome dude i don't know did you guys get a chance to watch oh of course yes
00:34:51
Speaker
Let's wrestling that day. I had to watch it. Oh dude. Like, you know, I love me some freaking shoemaker and he has been, I listen to his show every week. He's one of my favorite writers. Like I just, I love him. And he just, he dotes on Keith Lee. Like he is just some freaking prodigal son, you know? And I was always like, what Keith Lee, like, I don't understand. Like I don't, I don't get it. You know, and I have watched him and NXT and you know, there was just nothing that like stood out.
00:35:20
Speaker
And then I get it. Like now I am like sold on Keith Lee. I'm like, okay, this is what, this is what she maker was talking about, you know, because he would just keep putting him over and keep putting him over. And he fought Dominic Dijakovic. That's a mouthful, um, this week. And you guys,
00:35:38
Speaker
It was insane. It was insane in the membrane. I was just watching it with my mouth wide open. It was an instant classic. And if you haven't seen it out there, you definitely need to go back to this week's episode of NXT. It's the first match, I believe. Very first match. Yeah. It's on Hulu. If anyone missed it, you can catch up on Hulu.
00:35:59
Speaker
Yeah, he's a he's a big sized man that can pull off some like luchador like shoes. You're not lying. 340 pounds that corkscrew over the top. I was just going to say that was the that was the killer. I was I was more impressed with the spin kick that he did and he landed perfectly and didn't stumble once when they did a little spot at the beginning of the middle of the ring. Yeah, that was that was impressive to me. And then the moon smoke.
00:36:27
Speaker
also from the second rope it landed perfect it was like a it was like a 10 nailed it i mean just like laid out flat like it just like it was so effortless you know um and something else that was cool about this match is that they put a graphic up with like wins and losses i'm like oh so we're doing we're doing that now you know what i mean like they're they're keeping up um i guess uh dajakovic had was uh
00:36:49
Speaker
one and one and so oh yeah I did see that it had like the the height and weight and all that like kind of tail that was cool like what what type of wrestling style they had and things like that so yeah it was really cool and I mean like I said I mean I I'm I'm
00:37:04
Speaker
So I bought in to Keith Lee of just by watching that match. I mean he did a leapfrog over a 6-7 man Yeah, and this time to cover guys I mean he could look could be like I could see him as like a heat like a monster like main event He'll he looks he looks the part he like
00:37:21
Speaker
has the size that you want from those guys that we know we're kind of missing on the main event roster right now. So definitely definitely a good show and I'm excited to see how those two go up against each other. Let's run down the the card for AW Dynamite have it here. It looks like it's going to be Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks versus Chris Jericho and two mystery partners AKA LAX who we already know, you know, is there any doubt it's going to be them? I mean, they've already kind of spoiled this.
00:37:50
Speaker
Could be the dark order, you never know. Oh my god. No, I'm joking. No, that would be a good way to get heat. I mean, if you want to get extra heat on your boy Jericho as a heel. True. Yeah. That's not good heat, though, I feel like. No, yeah, that's go away heat. That's bad heat. Yeah, that's the go away heat. Did you say overweight heat or go away heat? Overweight, yeah. That's ice cream heat. Yeah.
00:38:13
Speaker
That's a microwave. That's a microwave pizza heat. Chicken sandwich heat. No, go away heat. Go away heat. What else we got on the card?
00:38:23
Speaker
Cody versus Sammy Guevara, who a lot, some people are picking an upset here to kind of put him over and be probably smart of Cody to give a, that's the opening match of the night. So maybe they're going to try to showcase Sammy as kind of like an up and coming guy because, you know. You can say that. Yeah. I mean, we could say that with any Cody match, obviously he's the name that everyone knows and he's obviously owns the company.
00:38:47
Speaker
We'll see. And then we have Rio versus Nyla Rose for the AEW Women's Championship. Yeah, yep. Fake Kyrie Sane versus fake Nia Jax. Yeah. Nobody cares about that. And then I think it's MJF is like a squash match against some dude I've never heard of, Brandon Cutler or something. Nice. Oh, yeah. I have seen him.
00:39:16
Speaker
Yep. And I don't know. Yeah, it'll be good. I'm going to watch both, obviously, just so like I want to see what it looks like, what it's all about. I'm all in to watch it. No pun intended. But yeah, I definitely feel like if I if I could only watch one, I feel like I would watch NXT. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's that's that's where my heart is. Also, I have American Horror Story on Wednesday night. Oh, my God. Don't get me started on that show, man.
Entertainment and Personal Reflections
00:39:42
Speaker
I love it so much. Do you really? You guys both love that show, huh? Every season, I haven't dropped out of wood yet. I feel like it's always like four episodes too long.
00:39:55
Speaker
You think, you think it's always what? I just feel like it's just like kind of like it's a cool story and then it's like they have to make too many episodes or something and it just gets like a couple of the seasons have been good and then like it just gets like the one there in the same asylum was good and then it just gets like like really like they're just like okay we're gonna do something else we still have four more episodes to write uh let's just make the make them ghosts or something like it just it never ties them together like I don't know
00:40:30
Speaker
that was like the best season oh really see i'll have to go back i mean i have it on have it on demand but i need to go back and watch because yeah i just kind of lost interest like i i didn't hate hotel but it just didn't keep it just didn't keep me interested so i just kind of like it just fell off my radar but then this 1984 business like that's right in my freaking wheelhouse you know what i mean like campy
00:40:43
Speaker
Yeah, I can definitely see that. I dropped out after hotel and I haven't watched anything. Like I think there was like an apocalypse season afterwards and like something.
00:40:50
Speaker
Like serial killer, murderer, like dude out in the woods. I was all in for that. And they used Billie Eilish on their promotional song for it. So I was like, OK. Sold. How was the second episode? I saw the first one. I haven't seen the second one yet. I'm happy either. Yeah, I'm going to watch it. But I watched the first one. And it definitely set the expectation that I had for it. Like being very, I guess it kind of campy and had that whole vibe about it. But I think it's going to be really good. Cool.
00:41:18
Speaker
Yeah, let's let's do a watch along with that or something. That's for sure. Maybe that could be our Halloween episode. Yeah, exactly. You can discuss American Horror Story 1984. All right. So end of an era. We are done with Smackdown. A couple of eras. Tuesday nights. It's been since 2016. We've had Smackdown live on Tuesday nights. So interesting, huh?
00:41:41
Speaker
Yeah, we've had some of the best stretch of wrestling. The stretch from the brand split to WrestleMania 33 was some of the most consistently great runs of wrestling over the past 10 years. I mean, it was so good. So many iconic moments happened on SmackDown, and especially after the brand split first happened, and SmackDown was really
00:42:03
Speaker
on the, on the up and up, you know, I mean, they even beat raw and the ratings, um, like that, like once or twice. And I was like, wow, that's pretty cool. You know, and you had like heel or a babyface Shane and babyface Daniel Bryan, like running, running the show against Stephanie and Mick Foley. And it was just like,
00:42:21
Speaker
So awesome, you know, and so that's the we're at the end of an era here, you know, we had what was it It was on Thursday nights before I was pre-recorded. Yep, and it was on Thursday nights and then it moved to Wednesdays to I think it was on Wednesdays too when it first first started
00:42:35
Speaker
I can't remember Smackdown on Wednesdays. Maybe, maybe it was. Maybe that was during my, my dark period of wrestling. Um, but yeah, it was, it was really cool to, to have it live. Um, I'm excited to see how they do it on Friday night. It does kind of like just feel like it's, um, I don't know. I feel like it kind of splits the wrestling week up a little bit. You know what I mean? Like it makes it kind of difficult to,
00:43:00
Speaker
keep up with everything, but I'm excited. I'm open minded to it. Um, but yeah, we have, we have a couple of crazy eras coming to an end here. We say rest in peace to NXT on the WWE network. Um, and the end of smackdown live on Tuesday. So, um, do you have any like memorable moments that stick out to you from this smackdown live era from 2016 to now? Oh, of course it has to be the, uh, the ill-fated talking smack.
00:43:29
Speaker
after uh the smackdown of his in the uh the uh the rise of the miss oh yeah on the uh talking smack that was like where he really you got to see the true true like hail miss and pull heat with him and daniel brian that that really like yeah that was awesome that really um that really pushed the uh uh smackdown live along i think with those who are going at it
00:43:53
Speaker
I love talking smack. I thought that I thought it was so awesome. I can't believe they just kind of like cut it after. I mean, it was, it was very short lived. I don't know how many weeks it was on, but I actually enjoyed it. Did you like talking smack?
00:44:08
Speaker
I did. I thought it was a cool idea and it felt pretty authentic and I liked Dan O'Brien in that role with Renee Young. They kind of played off each other really well. Yeah, I would hope they would bring that show back. Hopefully whatever this FS1 studio show is, which I guess Renee is going to host with some other people, it's going to be kind of like a recap show. Hopefully it's more similar to that and that kind of like
00:44:29
Speaker
Super K. Fabian like just like super fake like you know there's there's a way to do it right, but it's kind of a fine line But yeah, that's that wasn't one of the highlights for me too from those Smackdown years Marco Can you find out when if you if people miss the aew show where can you watch that obviously? NXT we can watch on Hulu is there is that gonna be on the bleacher report app like I've never really told us I mean people really watch stuff live anymore, so I don't know unless you record it like it for me I don't have cable so if I
00:44:59
Speaker
If I want to watch that, how do I, you know, how do we watch this AEW show after after it airs, you know, maybe on the fight app? I don't know. Yeah. Thank you. I think I think that I'll look it up with IPTV for like the UK viewers. I think they're not going to be able to see it that day. Did you hear about that, about the UK people being up in an uproar? Because what's it called? I TV?
00:45:26
Speaker
IPTV or something like that. IPTV, yeah. Whatever their big network is over there that's going to be showing AEW, I guess they had told everyone that it was going to be free. You know, like they're going to get to watch it. It's included in their cable packages and stuff. But then they came out this week and said it's going to cost $4.99, which, you know, I mean, doesn't seem like that much, but it's still just like kind of crappy for the people. Like they told them that they were going to it was going to be free. And like all of a sudden they're like, you know what, psych, we're going to get you super hyped, but it's going to cost $4.99.
00:45:55
Speaker
You know, so there was a lot of people over in the UK. I saw a thread that was under the article stating that and they were like, you know, pissed off.
00:46:05
Speaker
Yeah, that does suck. I mean, cable companies are just the worst. I'm so ready for people to go to all cut the cord and just like get rid of these. Yeah, we've got the cord. Yeah, I mean, it's just a joke. I mean, it's paying that much for cable when you don't watch more than like 10 of the channels, but yeah. Yeah, it's like legal robbery at this point. But yeah, there's been some really super awesome moments on SmackDown. I mean, you remember Randy Orton burning down the Bray Wyatt compound? Jesus.
00:46:34
Speaker
Listen, you can, you can, it was kind of crazy. It didn't end well. You know, the WrestleMania match, it was okay, but it was still kind of weird. But like that moment was actually kind of.
00:46:43
Speaker
badass. I was like, okay, Randy Orton just burned down Bray Wyatt's house. You know, um, I thought it was, I thought it was pretty cool. I mean, we saw the debut of Shinsuke Nakamura, the debut of Finn Balor, um, Daniel Bryan beating, uh, AJ for the title, uh, when AJ beat gender to become the WWE champ. I mean, there's been so many awesome, um, the unveiling of the eco title, you know, I mean, that was a moment for me cause I was like, Oh my God,
00:47:09
Speaker
This is like, this is the title that was meant for me, you know, the eco title.
00:47:14
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited about the future of SmackDown. I feel like it could possibly be positioned as the A-Show now with the announcers they have, whatever the talent they end up getting. Obviously, Brock Lesnar coming there, possibly. It'll be fun to watch. But the Sheena, myself, and Marco have talked about when we're going to record the show. We're going to play around with some stuff. But it probably is going to be on Tuesday nights as of right now. And we'll try that. It's just tough with Raw on Mondays and SmackDown on Fridays.
00:47:44
Speaker
sandwiched in the middle, NXT and AEW. So we're gonna play around with stuff now. So we'll probably record Tuesday and then we'll get stuff out to you on Wednesday. That's probably the best day for any kind of like pay-per-view recaps and pay-per-view previews. So stay tuned though. We'll see how things work out. It's a fluid situation. Yeah, it's fluid. We're nice and fluid over here. Yeah, we're fluid. Let's get into our go figure segment. Here we go.
Collectibles and Wrestling Merchandise
00:48:11
Speaker
Money talk.
00:48:15
Speaker
Alright folks, we do it every single week. This is our Go Figure segment. This is where myself, Sheena, and Marco let you know what items we have purchased as far as wrestling figures, memorabilia, and everything in between.
00:48:32
Speaker
Be sure to follow along, and if you want to tell us what you have purchased, be sure to share your photos with us on Twitter and Instagram. We love to see that kind of stuff. Anything you pick up, anything you find out in the wild, but I'll let Marco go first. Marco, did you pick anything up this week? After the high of getting those ghostbuster figures, I didn't think it could get any better this week.
00:48:58
Speaker
I actually just today, because I came home late today, and I get to post it, and I'll post it tomorrow. I actually got my Triple H and Finn Balor Ultimate Edition figures in the mail. Oh, nice, some Ringside Collectibles? Oh, Ringside Collectibles, Chick-Fully code, 10% all day. Yeah, definitely. I opened the boxes to see what they had there. They look fantastic.
00:49:24
Speaker
Can't wait to open them up, because I know there's some people out there that are not going to open those boxes. Since I'm on a run, they have to be opened. Yeah, those Ultimate Editions, they're meant to be played with an open man, because they're just like little display statues. They're like amazing. So yeah, I'm excited to see. I don't have those in hand yet. So I'm excited to see what they look like when you unbox them.
00:49:48
Speaker
Oh yeah, they are cool looking. The way the boxes are set up, I've heard some people say that you can kind of open them up and still put them back into the plastic if you want to destroy them. Oh yeah, yeah. You don't have to destroy the box for the Ultimate Editions, like you do some other figures. Yeah, you don't have to open them like Zack Ryder does and just tear them to pieces, like a Wolverine. That's how I like to open them, just... Yeah. Nice. Anything else, Marco, besides those two? No, just...
00:50:17
Speaker
Striking out left and right for those are survivor series figures As well as the Liv Morgan and so we need a bill I actually um, I think I mess a cheat about this about the target. So one of the targets in my area Pop finder 17 17. That's good son. I'm in the morning, right? Check later on at night
00:50:40
Speaker
Six drops down to six. I was like, I was like something to either like they mess up on the inventory or someone found out and just ran there and bought everything that was there. And they're probably all new figures, but I'm very upset and go early enough.
00:50:57
Speaker
I wonder how these help hop finder, these websites like find that, find the, uh, stock for these stores. I'm sure the stores don't really like people like knowing what they have coming in because they get bombarded. Oh yeah. I'm sure it's super annoying. It's scalpers hanging out. Yes. Well, you know, those people, those kinds of people, they, they know the deal anyway. Like they like have friends that work in the back. It was like that in Hawaii really bad because everybody knew each other was such a small island. Um, but yeah, like people knew what time the trucks got there, what day the trucks got there and all those things. So,
00:51:28
Speaker
Yeah. Um, same here. We were, we've been on the hunt for Sonia and live and we stopped by several targets, the baby face and heel husband actually went out. Um, the other morning looking because like the, the, uh, tracker showed there was like 17 elites and they were like, dude, surely to God, like, you know, there's gotta be something. No, no, it was like a tugboat Thomas, you know, like it was just like,
00:51:49
Speaker
craziness. There's nothing that we needed. And also, something to look forward to, depending on whether you're MOC or whether you're a loose collector.
00:51:59
Speaker
Um, if you're a loose collector, this is definitely going to be important to you, but the Sonya Deville, you know, the initial run that came out with her, they didn't have the skirt. Like it was like a, an error in distribution. She didn't have her little skirt on underneath. Um, but they did a, you know, they did another launch of them, a re-release, whatever you want to call it. Um, and they, they have a second run that does have the skirt. So if you are a loose collector, especially.
00:52:24
Speaker
you want to look for the lip that's in the box. And if you can see her legs, because the ones that came out in the initial run, the robe is like pulled all the way down and you can't see her legs. Do you know what I mean? So you can't see any skin, but the second run that it's kind of the robe is a little bit hiked up and you can see just a little bit of her thighs. Those are the, those are, yeah, I know. Um, those are the second run figures and those, uh, have the skirts.
00:52:49
Speaker
With them, you know, but I guess if you're if you're MOC, it doesn't really matter either way cuz you're not gonna see the skirt regardless But definitely for loose collectors who are looking to pull those babies out of the box You want to make sure you're looking for if she's got if you can see your legs There you go Most wrestling figure collectors don't see any kind of legs. So this is a welcome change. Yes, this is very true
00:53:14
Speaker
Actually, I have one more thing. I totally forgot I purchased. Oh, I purchased a Andre the Giant Legends edition off of our Facebook group. Yeah. Yeah, totally. I that's pretty bad that I buy so many figures. I forgot to actually purchase that. It was literally after the the show that we did for the for the team for the the draft message message. I was like, hey, do you still have that Andre available? And
00:53:42
Speaker
Mr. Hale husband was like, yes, I do. It's all yours. And we just went back and forth.
00:53:48
Speaker
That's on its way, actually. Yeah, the heel husband has been slinging some figs. He mailed everything out today. But I mean, yeah, he's been working his butt off in the Mark Cave, like getting everything sorted and bagged and posted and everything. So yeah, shout out to the heel husband for all his hard work, because he's been doing the damn thing. And there is a ton. Oh my god, like the box, the bin that has all the sale figures in it, like it is like overflowing. We have to get another,
00:54:17
Speaker
Sold bin like he has been being ruthless with these like selections. I'm like, holy crap. This is crazy I can't believe all these figures are going, you know That's awesome. How many how many total you guys selling on the Facebook group?
00:54:30
Speaker
I mean, there's at least 300 on the chopping block. Wow. Possibly more. I mean, that was 300 in our initial count. And we're going through and fine tuning and combing through everything. So it's possibly more that are getting posted up. Yeah, we post them to the Facebook group first to let our VIP Chick-Fully fam get first dibs on all that. And then we put them on the Instagram and Instagram stories.
00:54:57
Speaker
Yeah, check it out. The Toyotathon Fig-a-thon is going on right now on our Facebook group. You talked about the Survivor Series figures. They showed up on the Walmart website here and there, a bunch of people that I know were able to buy them and get them sent to the store. And now people are finding them in the stores in Walmart here locally.
00:55:17
Speaker
It looks like the code to use it on BrickSeek is 087162356. So make sure you put the dashes in between the numbers there. It's 087-16-2356. And you can find the Survivor Series. They should be hitting stores all over in the next week or so.
00:55:41
Speaker
Yeah, we were able to grab the Shinsuke Nakamura. Thanks to our buddy Tommy Slav on Instagram. His name, you're going to love his Instagram name. He's a loyal, awesome Chick-Fully follower, but his Instagram name leaves something to be desired. All the underscores. I mean, it's like so long. It's
00:55:59
Speaker
Tommy underscore Slav underscore WWE underscore figs with a Z underscore in underscore tings That's one of my we're talking about worst fears that's one of my worst fears having that He's got a good amount of followers so good for him
00:56:21
Speaker
yeah having to have an instagram name with seven underscores in it that's one of my most irrational fears oh but yeah but he did hit us up first thing he was like guys like you know they're on walmart and i was hoping to be able to grab uh shinsuke and uh don morocco but sure sure enough that was already sold out so we did get shinsuke in his isaac yankum gear from survivor series when he was wearing his
00:56:45
Speaker
his blue, his blue scrubs when he was wrestling. Um, but, uh, yeah, that, that figure we're going to unbox it. It's actually pretty freaking dope. I'm excited to have Shinsuke in the blue.
00:56:55
Speaker
very nice yeah and uh... we talked about live morgan and uh... sony deville those are hitting targets with elite sixty nine i believe it is so uh... now as we get closer to the holidays here we're hoping we get more and more stock of stuff coming into stores uh... should be coming pretty soon i didn't really purchase anything i don't think this week i feel like
00:57:16
Speaker
What did I get? Oh, I got the defining moments Chris Jericho with the two belts. Undisputed like we won both belts at the pay-per-view whatever that was and the Ric Flair defining moments with the the bluish purplish robe I believe was his final match at WrestleMania against Shawn Michaels which was a banger too.
00:57:37
Speaker
and I got from our buddy Paul on the Facebook group he was selling some Hasbro's and I got the silver shades Bret Hart I don't know if I talked about that last week but I'm now three Hasbro's away from the complete collection not counting the the mail away expensive ones after that I'm not doing that
00:57:56
Speaker
And that's about it. Oh, actually, I messaged you guys the address I'm going to tomorrow because I'm picking up somebody posted on Facebook. They were selling a bunch of old WWF VHSs. And I've been in the hunt for a collection. I want to frame them up from the early 90 years. And this guy had everything in a huge lot of...
00:58:20
Speaker
Royal Rumble from like 90 to like 99, like every one of them. And then every Survivor Series and every WrestleMania. So I was like, my God, had to play it cool on the old Facebook Messenger. But I'm gonna meet up with him tomorrow. So if I don't tweet anything after like two o'clock.
00:58:34
Speaker
Yeah, take some pepper spray, make sure you have your location services turned on, your phone. Yeah, I'm not going to wear anything sexy. Yeah, don't wear anything sexy. Yeah, for sure. The heel husband. So we had a couple more things. The heel husband.
00:58:50
Speaker
Um, picked up elite five Vladimir Kozlov. Deep cut. Deep cut. How random. I was like, Oh, okay. Um, so he, he got that. He picked it up loose. And then our buddies over at ringside sent over a, an amazing hall. We got elite 71.
00:59:09
Speaker
Um, and the new belt pack, which is super cool. And then we got the, uh, ringside exclusive on dry day, seeing all mess. So, I mean, there's so much unboxing that's going to be happening over here on the, uh, on the, uh, chick full and the chick fully house. And we're going to post those up on our Patreon page and on our app.
00:59:28
Speaker
on the YouTube. So stay tuned for that because we have lots of shit. I mean, I'm going to be unboxing for days and I still have to unbox the Ghostbusters guys. I have so much. I'm so behind. What are you doing? This is the only thing you should be focused on. Come on. I'm hashtag with a kid that is, you know, um, I love to unbox, but then, you know, Brett's taken all the like spare hands and like, you know, swallowing them and like putting them.
00:59:52
Speaker
different places you know it's like oh god yeah no he's actually been pretty good about not putting anything you know i'm saying he had a period of his life where he was like everything that he touched was like straight into the mouth he's over that for now thank god but yeah um those little hands are a choking hazard for for all the small people
01:00:10
Speaker
the the
01:00:25
Speaker
He bought the Lex Luger USA Hasbro out from under our buddy Zack Ryder. So he's a big time collector. Started this group up as just kind of similar to our Facebook group, but they do a lot more like raffles and they have a lot of old LJNs and stuff. People like just kind of selling, doing some raffles of older stuff. So it's a nice group to follow, check them out. It's on Facebook and I definitely highly recommend it.
01:00:50
Speaker
We didn't touch on something that I really want to touch on from earlier. I knew you were about to bring this up. I was just about to bring this up. And I think it's what you're going to say. So are you going to talk about your homeboy?
01:01:00
Speaker
my buddy John Morrison coming back? Yeah. Yes. How'd you know? I don't know. I just had, I had an itch. I was like, Oh my God, Phil didn't bring up John Morrison. I don't know how I let that slip. But one of my favorite, most underrated wrestlers of all time, John Morrison returning, I guess to the WWE. He hasn't been there since 2011, I believe was the last time. And I think he's now resigned with the company.
01:01:22
Speaker
Uh, just real quick, cause I don't want to spend too much time on it. What do you think his role is going to be? Do you think he's going to be an NXT kind of a guy put over some of the younger guys that he's going to be a main event, main roster guy? What do you think?
01:01:34
Speaker
see, I'm not, um, I'm not like, I don't know, uh, John Morrison's full catalog of work because that was kind of during my dark, uh, my dark ages of wrestling, like I've talked about before, kind of like that period where I was like, you know, not, not doing the damn thing. So, um, I, from everything that I know about him to me, I feel like,
01:01:55
Speaker
He would have an awesome place in NXT to be like, you know, upper, upper mid card, and then possibly into, it's a championship, you know, picture. But I feel like a guy like that on the main roster is just going to kind of get lost in the shuffle. You know what I mean?
01:02:11
Speaker
Yeah, like a Shelton Benjamin kind of guy, a little bit, maybe a little more high profile. I mean, he could, I mean, best case scenario, maybe be like a Rey Mysterio is on the main roster and like, you know, he's here, he's in some high profile matches, but in the end, he's really just there to put over the Samoa Joes and some of the other guys. But I mean, there's some good matches I could see him with with main roster guys.
01:02:33
Speaker
There's just like, well, you know, the cool thing now is like, there's no, um, there's no shade for going on. You're on, you're on TV. You know what I mean? You're, you're like, it's not like just being on the WWE network, which was badass enough. I mean, we love NXT for everything that it was on the WWE network. But now that it's on USA, I mean, I feel like going there is just like having a third brand. Like you talk, you know, like we talked about before, like raw smackdown NXT, it's all an equal playing ground, you know?
01:02:59
Speaker
That is true. That is cool about the move to USA. It's just another place for them to showcase people and not have it as a developmental anymore.
01:03:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's funny because I was just thinking like, it's funny that you and I were both in tune. I was like, dude, we did not talk about this. And I know this is like Phil's thing. I mean, I posted it in our Facebook group earlier today and I tried to tag you, but for whatever reason, it wouldn't let me tag you. But I was just going to be like, dude, your boy, he's back. Coming home, prodigal son. The prodigal, my son returns. My son returns.
01:03:34
Speaker
All right. Let's, uh, I think that's all of our, uh, our figures. Uh, I didn't purchase anything else, but, uh, if you are going to purchase some figures, you definitely want to do them at ringside collectibles. Like our buddy Marco just did use code chick Foley. You get 10% off. Uh, we're still working to get that 11% off code. Uh, if you guys are listening at ringside, hook us up and, uh, that would be pretty cool. But let's get into our random merch of the week.
01:03:59
Speaker
Yeah, Random Merch of the Week. This segment is sponsored by Pro Wrestling Tees, so you can go over to Pro Wrestling Tees and check out all of the awesome random Chick-Fully merch over there. We have some really awesome t-shirt designs and stuff, so check it out. They do lots of promos and sales and, you know, just type Chick-Fully into the search bar and all of our stuff will come up. But today,
01:04:19
Speaker
We are talking about our random merch of the week. It's a vintage Hulk Hogan lot. So I don't know if this was part of some like promotional deal or something you bought and it came with like this package of stuff, but it's actually pretty cool. There is a Titan Sports Bandana.
01:04:35
Speaker
So it's like a Hulkster rules red bandana with, you know, yellow print. It's got like the old school WWF logo on it and stars. And it says Hulkster rules. And then there's a sticker book with him wearing this exact bandana. And it's got like all these, like, you know, Hulk Hogan WWF stickers. And the coolest part of this lot is that there is this light switch cover and it's got a, what appears to be like almost like an LJN esque Hulk Hogan figure.
01:05:05
Speaker
on top of the light switch. So you just turn your light on and off, you move Hulk up and down, right? So you just grab Hulk and like switch him up and down. Um, and it's super, super cool. The lot is listed for $44 US with $14 and 20 cents shipping. It doesn't, it has to make offer. Um, but, and so you can make an offer, but I think 40 44 is a little steep for my blood, but
01:05:32
Speaker
that that switch is pretty damn cool i'm not even gonna lie if you're a hardcore hogan collector i could see it you know yeah for sure but my my my
01:05:42
Speaker
quandary with all those kind of things, right? Like I always get hung up like those stickers and stuff like they're cool to have but like I will never open that, you know, because it's just like I'm like, it's me. I'm like, it's made it this long. Like I can't open it. I, I mean, I have a vintage coloring book, you know, like the WWF coloring books that came with like the little markers and everything. And I'm like, that's so cool. I would love to open it up and like see what all's in there, but I can't make myself do it. And you guys know me. I open everything, but I'm just like,
01:06:08
Speaker
It's been in the pack this long. It's so pristine. If I open it, it's just going to be loose crap. Yeah, that's a good point. It's lasted 20, 30 years already. Once you open it, the luster is gone. It just becomes something else sitting around the house.
01:06:27
Speaker
Exactly. You get like that two minutes of gratification where you're like, whoa, this is so cool. And then yeah, it just becomes clutter, you know, whereas like when it's all in the plastic and it's, you know, it's like a display piece, you know, you could actually have it up and like have it as a display piece. Um, but yeah, the, I wouldn't mind having that Hogan switch for the baby faces room because it is pretty cool. Despite what all the people on raw might have you think. I don't know what that was. Where was raw on Monday? It was, uh, usually, I mean, usually Hogan gets pops no matter where they are.
01:06:57
Speaker
I know. I don't know where it was. I can't, I can't remember off the top of my head, but wherever it was, maybe it was in Pittsburgh. Was it in Pittsburgh? They're, they're pretty, they're pretty. Yeah. They're pretty awful. They're repugnant audience over in Pittsburgh. No shade to any of our fully fam in Pittsburgh. They're probably all eating those donut chicken sandwiches, Pittsburgh people. Listen. Sad about their Steelers being 0 and 3.
01:07:20
Speaker
that donut chicken sandwich. If you're going to mourn, mourn your football team sucking, uh, that's a good way to do it. It was, it was pretty good carbs and fat and friedness. Like, yes, please. A lot of good things there are good things in that sentence. Uh, let's move on to our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. And, uh, this is, I don't know what happened on this episode, but you have to film me in smack down live from July 19th, 2016.
01:07:47
Speaker
Yeah. So, you know, um, typically I pick a specific match from, um, from a card somewhere along the way, depending on what's going on and try to like, you know, cue it into what's going on. But I really just like this whole episode is something to go and watch because it was that July 19th, 2016. That was the first day that smackdown live premiered a live on, um,
01:08:10
Speaker
on USA, and that's the day that they did the draft. And it was really cool.
WWE Draft and Nostalgic Moments
01:08:15
Speaker
Like I said, you had Shane and Daniel Bryan drafting for the SmackDown team. You had Mick and Stephanie drafting for the Raw team. Seth Rollins was the first overall pick in the draft. And then it's really cool to see how the landscape of the company has changed so much in this last three, four years.
01:08:35
Speaker
because Dean was the second draft to SmackDown, and he was the WWE champ at the time. I mean, he's not even in the company anymore, you know what I mean? He's already gone, and he was the most over thing in the entire company at that point in time. So that's when we also saw Finn make his main roster debut. They drafted Finn Balor to Raw. And I mean, the pop was just insane for Finn Balor, and you had like,
01:09:04
Speaker
You had the matches like Wyatt's versus the New Day and it was like the Wyatt's, it was Luke Harper.
01:09:12
Speaker
Or no, was it Rowan? It was either Rowan or Harper. I can't remember Rowan or Harper, but Braun Strowman was in the Wyatt family at that time. And they were facing off against the New Day. You had John Cena versus AJ Styles. So it was just like a really cool time in wrestling. So that whole episode will make you like really nostalgic. So definitely go back and check out that initial episode of SmackDown Live from July 19th, 2016.
01:09:37
Speaker
I have a tidbit of that episode actually. I was at that taping. I was in Worcester, Massachusetts at the DCU Center. Yeah, I was at that one. Nice. I had no idea when I picked that. Yeah, I wasn't in like the front row or anything. We just went just because anytime SmackDown comes to Boston, we always went. Never went to a raw for some reason, only SmackDowns, which is kind of strange.
01:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, that's where we were at. Yeah, that was pretty awesome watching the draft alive.
01:10:11
Speaker
It was, it was really cool. I liked the way that they did it. I mean, it just, it just kind of felt big, you know? Um, and it was, it was just, I don't know. I thought that whole episode was, it was really neat cause I watched it live. Um, but I haven't watched it probably since then. You know, it's been what, three, three years since I've watched it. And, uh, yeah, it was pretty cool to go back and see, and see all those talents that one either aren't there anymore or they're like, you know, they're gone from the company. Like John Cena. I mean, we've only seen John Cena.
01:10:37
Speaker
on an episode of raw like one time in the last like how how long you know yeah true he was he was with big Cass and Enzo in this on this card yes oh my gosh yes i mean talk about a fall from grace that's another one you know what i mean like you know uh Enzo and Cass were like the two biggest things um in the freaking company you know like they were huge tag team like everybody knew the little spiel their entrance and all that and like they're like
01:11:04
Speaker
Nobody's now. You know what I mean? Like it's like it's pretty pretty crazy how how quickly things can change But yeah, they faced off against was AJ in the in the club, right?
01:11:12
Speaker
Yeah, Gallows. It was just Sino versus Gallows. But yeah, we, uh, the three of us recorded a mock draft episode of the podcast for our Patreon listeners. You can listen to that if you're a Patreon subscriber and Sheena and I just went back and forth. I think we did 12 picks each. We did eight male superstars, two female superstars, and two tag teams each. And we let the people on our Facebook group kind of vote and, uh, the votes
01:11:37
Speaker
The votes are leaning more toward your boy over here, Sheena. I don't know how you feel about that. Everybody thought I had the bigger names on my card.
01:11:45
Speaker
People can like, you know what, I think it's just because I have an eye for up and coming talent. I, I, I have, um, a good feel for who's going to be big, you know, in the future. Whereas like, I feel like you, you took the low hanging fruit. Um, so it was kind of one of those things like, you know, feel, feels over here for once trying to appeal to the masses, you know? Um,
01:12:09
Speaker
And, uh, here I am trying to make these like smart, smart picks and it didn't, it's not weighing off in my favor. So all you smarky smarts that are part of our, our patron, um, just make sure you go over there and, and listen and listen closely and listen to the, listen to the reasoning, you know?
01:12:29
Speaker
Don't let Brock Lesnar pull your judgment in the wrong direction, you know? A couple people commented that they heard an audible gasp when I took Ronda Rousey late in the draft that you were just like, you know, it slipped by you somehow. I'm surprised. You know what? It was not even on the radar. It was like, it was an audible gasp because, you know, I love me some Ronda Rousey and
01:12:55
Speaker
It was, yeah, I was a little bit disappointed in myself. Yeah. Out of sight, out of mind. And you know, you, you just like straight stacked your roster with like legitimate fighters. And I think people are, people are being swayed by the star power, you know?
Listener Engagement and Podcast Wrap-up
01:13:11
Speaker
Yeah, well, you know, some tomato versus tomato, I guess, type of thing. We asked the people on Facebook for listener mail a couple of weeks ago.
