Podcast Introduction and WWE Preview
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to the Chick Foley Show.
00:00:22
Speaker
What is up Foley fam? We are back with a super sized episode of the Chick Foley show. We got the whole gang on deck tonight because we have not one, but two paper views coming at you guys in a couple of days. And it was going to take all four of us to be able to preview these shows. But without further ado, let me introduce the stars of
Personal Updates and Wrestling Debate Topics
00:00:39
Speaker

Marco, what's happening up in Boston? Nothing much, man. Good to be, good to be back on the, uh, on the show here. Can't wait to talk some, uh, some wrestling. I didn't, I did, uh, just earlier today, I did the, um, uh, debate, turnbuckle debate. So yeah, if you're a Patreon subscriber for tavern, you get to see alive. If not, you get away till next week as always. So yeah.
00:01:17
Speaker
Love the debate. Give us a little tease, man. What was the lead topic for the debate next week? Oh, man. They're probably going to kill me. Let's see.
00:01:27
Speaker
It's just a little spoiler. Just the tip. I'll give you one. We had one words. We talked about if Mac had done what it was to, is he able to use his character? Would it flourish in the WWE as he is today? So that was one of the topics. That's a good topic. I'm not going to give my topic that I brought to the table because that was actually a pretty good one. And then there was obviously another one. But yeah.
00:01:56
Speaker
It was fun. Good to see those guys.
Weather Talk and Listener Support
00:02:00
Speaker
Yeah, man. Always big fans turn book tavern, check them out. Uh, wherever you find your wrestling podcast, Jordan, what's happening on the Midwest, dude, did the storms finally, uh, finally calm down? Yeah. Today was like the, it feels like the first day in a while. We haven't had a tornado warning somewhere near me. So yeah, it's, uh, it's been a long couple of weeks. That's for sure. That's pretty funny. You sent, you sent the storms down to Tennessee, dude. No, we were having, we were having beautiful weather and all of a sudden, you know, you guys are clearing up and, uh,
00:02:27
Speaker
She hit the fan here we had some little hail we had wind crazy thunderstorms so. Yes springtime is in full effect over here today yeah i'm over it it's just. It's been a it's been a long spring already i always got hit really hard like they've had a couple towns destroyed in the last couple weeks.
00:02:48
Speaker
Send in love to all of our fully fam out there in the Midwest. Texas too, man. Texas had a bunch of floods and stuff also. I kind of just dodged it when I was down there last week for work. All our fully fam that are experiencing mother nature raging out, we're sending our love to you.
00:03:05
Speaker
other natures on her period. I was about to make a joke about Malachi Black getting the blood back tonight, but I'll pause.
Farm Life Adventures with Sheena
00:03:18
Speaker
Sheena, tell us what's new on the farm.
00:03:21
Speaker
Oh my gosh. So we have had two new babies. So I've got to experience two goat births. I know I talked to you guys about Myrtle last time, but we have two new members of the faction, dude. I didn't know there were twins in there. This particular goat, she was carrying really small and she had her first baby, smooth, unassisted, and I was just so happy, overjoyed that everything went smoothly.
00:03:40
Speaker
And then all of a sudden, I see a second baby emerging and just my freaking head explodes. So super cool. Babies are doing good. Mama's doing good. I'm now waking up every morning and milking two goats before the sun comes up. So yeah, it's cool over here, dude. Lots of life. Oh, I totally, I buried the lead on the farm stuff. So yeah, you guys knew I had pregnant goats. What you didn't know is I had a turtle that was gonna be laying eggs in my backyard. So we talked about totally this mysterious turtle.
00:04:10
Speaker
that we have that just kind of roams around the backyard. We've just always referred to it as a dude because we looked it up and we thought- Yeah, it's hard to ever know for 100%, but if you look at the- We're not turtle experts. If you look at it, they give you some things like the shape of the shell or the eye color.
00:04:27
Speaker
and some of the markings and all of it leaned like it's a dude. Yeah, it leaned very male. So we just always referred to him as a him. And then I saw him digging a hole out there when I was putting around in the garden. I was like, oh, guys, come outside. Tully's out here. It's always exciting when Tully pops up.
00:04:43
Speaker
And lo and behold, we go out there and Tully is popping eggs into this hole. So he's like, she is laying eggs in the hole. So not only did we get to see a turtle lay eggs, we also realized that our backyard turtle is a female. So super cool week here on the farm.
00:05:02
Speaker
Definitely. Always something exciting happening. Shayna, remind the listeners where they can find you guys on social media.

00:06:17
Speaker
All right, so we are coming up this
WWE King and Queen of the Ring Analysis
00:06:20
Speaker
weekend. Like we said, we have two events. We have a WWE event and an AEW event this weekend. We have
00:06:24
Speaker
I
00:06:27
Speaker
this event known as king and queen of the ring. It's a, it's a freaking mouthful. I feel like we could have like, you know, truncated that just a little bit and made it a little more smooth, a little more roll. I mean, you already had crown jewel that fit. Crown jewel would have been perfect. We already have a pay-per-view in Saudi called crown jewel. Like that's the name fits the concept of this show. I don't know why. 100%. Yeah. You could just get a crown jewel, you know, featuring the king and queen of the ring.
00:06:52
Speaker
you know we know that the Saudi prince that's kind of kind of spearheaded this whole deal with WWE we know he's a early 90s mark so it for all we know it could have been a demand that he said hey we gotta have bring back king of the ring you know that's why we want the name king of the ring because you remember like when the
00:07:08
Speaker
When this whole deal was first started, I remember we had the greatest Royal Rumble. And the marketing tag was like, this event will be as good or better than WrestleMania. They kept saying that in all the commercials. As good. Yeah, it was like they were contractually obligated to say that on the hype up to it, man. It could be something like that, but yeah, I agree on the face.
00:07:27
Speaker
Dude, keep it crown jewel, man. Or just call it King of the Ring. You can still have... You can still have the Queen of the Ring. Yeah, you don't have to call it King and Queen of the Ring. I don't know. It's not smooth. So anyway, it doesn't matter. We're here. It's called King, Queen of the Ring. Can't change it.
00:07:45
Speaker
Uh, we'll go ahead and kick it off with, uh, the first king of the ring match. So we got Gunther, who's going to be fighting the winner of, um, the smackdown finals that are the winner of the smackdown bracket finals, which is either going to be Tomatanga or Randy Orton. So first off, who, who's going to be winning the Tomatanga?
00:08:03
Speaker
Or Randy Orton. Orton. I don't know. I was kind of disappointed. I really thought we were going to get some spoilers by now, but I didn't realize that they were doing SmackDown in Saudi. It's the first time they've done that. Oh, yeah. Usually when they do this, they'll usually either tape SmackDown right after Raw or they'll do a taped SmackDown on Tuesday night, but where it's actually going to be, it'll be happening during the day on Friday, our time. It makes sense. I mean, that would be the better way to do it. I don't know if they would record it in the United States and then travel to Saudi, but yeah, if they're already on the way to Saudi.
00:08:33
Speaker
Traditionally, that's how they've done it. They've recorded it in the States, and then they travel to Saudi Thursday and Friday. Now they're traveling early, and so they're going to get two shows in Saudi. It would be interesting to see what weekly TV is going to look like there, because all we've seen is the pay-per-views. But I don't know. I think this could go either way, man. I'm leaning Randy Orton, but Tomitanga can totally win this, man. They're really pushing the Bloodline 2.0 pretty hard.
00:08:58
Speaker
I agree. I don't know. I'm going with Orton. It would be hard for me to believe that they're going to do a heal over seal type of thing. I think it would be a better match with Randy Orton versus Gunther. Like you said, never vote against the bloodline. That still stands true until proven otherwise. What do you guys think?
00:09:21
Speaker
Yeah, I'd, I'd go over and as well, I just, I don't see them doing Tom Matanga and going through. It's just Randy Orton and good. There makes a whole lot more sense to me. Yeah, definitely. That sounds like a Saudi match. Yeah, definitely better match on paper. I mean, if they, obviously, if they went the, uh, Jay Uso route and he won, then I would say Tom Matanga would have won, but other than that, yeah, it's, it's good there.
00:09:45
Speaker
Are we are we you know, so we're unanimous that uh, you know, it's gonna be the king the king general. Yeah Yeah, it's the king general. Yeah. Yeah.
Women's World Championship Storylines
00:09:56
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah Yeah, it seemed like this it seemed like this thing was tailor-made for goop there from the start. Yeah
00:10:01
Speaker
It's been a really good tournament too. As far as the in-ring goes, they've really stepped it up. I saw a stat that the Lyra Valkyria and Io Sky match on Raw, the finals for the Raw Cider bracket, it was longer than all of the matches from the 2021 Queen of the Ring tournament combined. Wow. Yeah, they're giving the matches a ton of time. It's been something different from WWE.
00:10:23
Speaker
Still not like it's jam-packed with wrestling, but by WWE standards, we've been very wrestling heavy the last few weeks, so it's been a nice change of pace. And I've enjoyed it. But yeah, this thing felt like it was set up with Gunther in mind from the start. And there's very, very little reason for me to believe he's not winning this thing. Do you guys think we will ever see another like one-night King of the Ring type situation where it's like, you know, the tournament takes place over the course of one PLE?
00:10:49
Speaker
it would be cool. But I mean, they've really, I mean, honestly, after the first one, they really went away from that, you know, the first two, let's see, 93, 94, 95, I think we're all one night starting after that, they would have a lot of the pre limbs, kind of like on the way, right? Like they would
00:11:07
Speaker
They, you'd only see like the final four, I think maybe the year Austin. Yeah. So yeah, Austin went at 96. I think that was the last year that they had it where somebody was wrestling three matches in a night. I need to go back and look, but after that, I think they went to where you'd have a lot of the, you would typically still have the semi-finals on the pay-per-view. So you see a guy wrestling twice. I think we may go back to that, but.
00:11:24
Speaker
Yeah, never. Yeah, it's it's Yeah, probably be too big for the for to be a full event. And they love milking the weekly TV. Yeah, you got to get way too much weekly TV now for them to do a one night king of the ring. It's just it would completely screw up the weekly TV. Yeah.
00:11:42
Speaker
Well, we're going to head on down to the queen side of things. We have the queen of the ring tournament final. We got Lara Valcuria versus the winner of the SmackDown bracket. So that would be either Nia Jax and or Bianca Belair. So I'm going to go with, I mean, I think it's leaning Nia Jax, but I don't think anybody should count out Bianca Belair ever. I think it's very, very, very possible that Bianca comes away with this. What do you think, Jordan?
00:12:09
Speaker
I had picked Nia to win this from the start, from the start of the tournament. I just, I don't know, man, it just seemed like they want her to win something and it doesn't seem like they're giving her a belt anytime soon. So I guess this kind of just fits what they want for her. So yeah, I'd be pretty shocked if she didn't win the whole thing, honestly, at this point.
00:12:28
Speaker
The cool thing is man I kind of see paths for all three, if we're gonna get a little bit of fancy booking Lyra just because it seems like they're working really hard to establish her as like the you know, the, the new hot thing on the on the women scene on raw and that would kind of set her up to end up turning on Becky here in the near future to set up a big match because she's been way too.
00:12:46
Speaker
Way too buddy, buddy, way too eager of a sidekick with Becky for me. You know, I've been watching wrestling long enough. I already I see that turn coming already. Now, I like I think she would totally embrace. I could see Queen Naya being a thing for the next, you know, 12 to 18 months. Right. Like she would, you know, I don't I don't want to make like a size joke, but I totally see her like you remember when King Mabel would get carried to the ring like on the guy's shoulders. I could totally see Naya pulling something like that, too. Just total heel man. This super heavy weight getting freaking packed down to the ring.
00:13:17
Speaker
And then Bianca I think that could be it depends on how quickly we're moving towards Bianca and Jade because you know That's a big money match. We got queued up And Jade kind of got screwed. I mean she kind of screwed herself, but you know she got beat by DQ Jade Yeah, Jade screwed Jade you know hit an eye with the chair and get DQ'd and then if Bianca wins Jade might be looking at it like you know what that's really my crown you know and you see a little bit of a bit animosity there to quote the macho man, so
00:13:43
Speaker
I don't know if I had to pick. I think I won Bianca man. Chips are now going to start. I think Bianca is going to find a way to win.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with Naya. They're playing that knee angle too much with Bianca with her messed up knee. But I think Naya attacks the knee and that's how she wins. Or the other way she wins is she gets into a brawl with Jade Cargill and costs Bianca the match because there'll obviously be a DQ in that sense. So I'm going with Naya when I win it all. I'm with Jordan.
00:14:16
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going with Naya. You know, the more I think about it, I'm going with Naya. I mean, because King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring. I mean, it's really a heel gimmick, dude. It's not really something that a babyface, I feel like needs or you know what I mean? I feel like it's more of just like if they're going to do the full Queen thing. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to do it with at least one of them. Super obnoxious. Yeah, I feel it's definitely going to be Naya. The last few people that have wanted to have gotten a King. We had King Woods. We had Queen Zalina. We had Queen Zalina. We had King Corbin.
00:14:46
Speaker
Before that, we had King Barrett.
00:14:47
Speaker
Yeah, the last, so yeah, the last, we're going back about a decade. Everybody, this one has gotten stuck with the King gimmick. I think Gunther will be able to break the curse. I really don't see Gunther coming out there with a crown. No, I mean, I could see it being like a super classy like Game of Thrones style crown, just for like, not like a full term thing, but just like, you know, maybe for a week or two, just to really solidify, you know, just kind of like something that's not, you know, like what King Bear had like the, or was it Baron Corbin or Wade Barrett that had like the Cruella de Vil like Dalmatian?
00:15:17
Speaker
That was king that was king. I don't know they both kind of wore similar gear Yeah, it was it's always looks cheesy and ridiculous, but yeah, I got the stuff from like spirit Halloween exactly Yeah, I could see I could totally see goon through though like wearing like a really like low-key like straight up You know like I said Targaryen type. I don't know dude He's he always talks about the ring is sacred like he goes against all the gimmicky stuff like that man. Yeah true, but I mean I
00:15:41
Speaker
If we, if, if we see good, they're doing that, just know that WWE check is hidden. I was going to say money talks bullshit walks, dude. All right. So moving on. We got the man Becky Lynch facing live Morgan for the women's world championship.
00:15:58
Speaker
Dude, Liv's hot right now, man. I could see Liv taking this thing. I don't know if they wanna push this thing like one more pay-per-view and maybe make it like a gimmick match between Liv and Becky, you know, so I don't know if we'll get a non-finish or something, but if it's a clean finish, I think, or I guess clean isn't the word, but if it's a definitive finish, I can definitely see it being freaking Liv, man. I can see Dominik getting involved. Yeah. And costing Becky the title and, you know. I think Judgment Day comes in with the assist and we see Liv get the belt.
00:16:27
Speaker
They definitely should, man. I think the last time they tried, they pulled the trigger on Liv, it was a little bit too late. I mean, everybody was still hot for Liv, but it was like, I felt like it was just like, they drug it out a little bit too often. And it was the money to make cash-in, dude. The cash-ins have been almost kind of poisoned at this point to where we just know, like, don't...
00:16:43
Speaker
I feel like everybody since Seth, like they haven't really been treated seriously if they cash in and get the belt. Yeah. And, you know, Becky was never planned to be champ. This was all kind of just impromptu because Rhea got injured. So, yeah, I got it. I hate to say it as a heart. You know, Becky's my favorite for the ladies. I think Liv wins the championship on Saturday.
00:17:02
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I think, I think Becky is ready to take a break. I mean, the plan was always for her and Seth to take a break after mania and she had to go an extra month and a half on this. Like I just, I don't really see the point of her continuing this rain. It makes a whole lot more sense for live to have the belt right now. And then whenever Ria comes back, you'll have that feud. So yeah, I'm going live as well.
00:17:24
Speaker
And see to me that that's the biggest, that's the biggest thing right there is like setting up the potential of Liv versus Ria do with like the whole mixing, like the Dom, you know, fighting over custody of Dom again. Yeah, I feel like that's, that's the biggest thing in pointing me that like Liv's going to win this thing, do with the, with the help of Dom, right? Like I think there's going to be some, cause I mean, I don't think they're going to put Liv over Becky clean, but, uh,
00:17:48
Speaker
There's going to be some heel shenanigans. Marco, you agree? Yeah. I think as much as I think they're going to, Becky's going to retain for some, I have some weird reason. I don't know. I think I'm with Seth. I think they kind of maybe want to extend this feud a little bit longer and have Becky win, but you can go either way. You can have, you know, live wind and then still do another match with Becky down, down the road or something.
00:18:12
Speaker
Um, like that, but yeah, I'm going with, uh, I'm going with Liv. I think she's, she's due. She had her hail character going. And I think this will definitely be a better run as champion. Cause she's obviously established as a, as a hail and on a baby face. Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah, I think, and I think she's got, I think, you know, she's got her feet wet. She's already had a championship. I think this is like, this is, this is Liv's real moment. You know what I mean? I feel like WWE wasn't hitting on all cylinders whenever Liv was champion the last time. So I feel like this is a much better, much better situation for Liv to take the crown. So he's the number one merch seller right now. Wow. She's hot.
00:18:52
Speaker
Well, yeah, now she's single. So everybody's sliding in those DMS. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, the good. Yeah. So it was never confirmed that they were dating me. She didn't hear me on the radio this week that she said she was single, but I don't know. I feel like that may just be.
00:19:10
Speaker
I know for a fact she lived there for a really long time. I've still seen her post from there recently, so I don't know what's going on. I think she may just have a weird open situation. I don't know. But she did publicly. Yeah, she came out and said she was single. Wow. Shoot your shot, fellas.
00:19:25
Speaker
Wow. Maybe, uh, maybe old Bo was just like, dude, yeah, exactly. Maybe he was just like, dude, you're so way more merch. If the guys think you're single, you know what I mean? So like bringing them paychecks in that inflation is hitting dude. So we need to sell all the merch we can. Interesting. I did not, I did not hear that.
00:19:42
Speaker
They just had such a good setup where they were at. I can't imagine. I know their little farm is so cute. The wanderlust farm. Yes, it's so perfect. I always just thought of her and Bo out there just doing homestead things and it just always made my heart smile. I'm putting an asterisk next to the single clam. I think we need these to be investigated further. But hey, she did come out there on the radio and say it, so something's going on.
00:20:06
Speaker
Hmm. That's complicated. Um, we got a triple threat match for the intercontinental championship.
Intercontinental Championship Predictions
00:20:12
Speaker
Sammy Zane versus Chad Gable versus Bronson Reed. Um, what, what are we thinking dudes? Uh, Marco, what's your, what's your read on this? Oh man, this is, this is tough. Uh, it's, it's one of those things where I do how many title changes you do in one night. Uh, cause it's obviously three titles on the line. Um,
00:20:35
Speaker
I'm going to go with this. It is Saudi though. Anything is possible. It's kind of its own little ecosystem. It's like the airport. Yes, exactly. 18 bucks for a beer at 6 a.m., sure. Why not? Yeah, three title changes on a pay-per-view. Why not? It's possible. I'll bring an Undertaker in the main event. Oh, really? Yeah. I kind of want to leave towards Chad. Chad Gable winning.
00:21:00
Speaker
But I think it's too early for, cause he's like, you know, it's starting to build up the, you know, he's getting the you suck chance and all that stuff. So it was like his, you know, persona is just starting. So I'm going to, I might go with Sammy retaining. Yeah.
00:21:14
Speaker
I think Chad went and I think we begin to build to a monster babyface moment where Otis takes that belt from at SummerSlam. Otis is getting huge reactions from the crowd right now. I think that's going to be the biggest thing to come out of this whole Sammy and Chad angle. Chad's a great heel. He's mini Kurt angle. He's so funny and so just charismatic on the mic.
00:21:35
Speaker
But I think this is Otis is gonna end up being the big winner out of this whole deal, man He's just the crowd is red hot for him to turn on Chad. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's that's my read to dude I think that would be Otis needs a moment dude Otis is really you know, he always gives us all he's like one of those guys like we've talked about before like our truth like where doesn't matter what gimmick he gets dude No matter how mid card or how goofy it is dude. He's gonna exactly and he's gonna give it a hundred percent and I
00:22:02
Speaker
Yeah. He got screwed over that, you know, they gave him the big moment of winning money in the bank, but then, you know, this is in the Vince era. They clearly had absolutely zero plans whatsoever, what to do with it. Yeah. The briefcase to the miss. He lost the briefcase to the miss and they made it just so goofy. Like, you know, you put his like lunch meat in there. You know what I mean? Like, I kind of liked it. I kind of liked the money in the bank lunchbox and we got that figure form too. So I'm not, I'm not going to hate on the money in the bank lunchbox, but, but yeah, I, I've been in on Otis for a long time and I think he's a, he's just a really, really talented dude.
00:22:33
Speaker
All right. Uh, Jordan, any thoughts on the triple threat? I'm going to me. I just, I just don't think he's losing the belt already. Hmm. That's really all I got. I really have some like extensive breakdown. I mean, I haven't said this yet, but I think this is an extreme throwaway pay-per-view. Like unless something major happens, this is an extreme throwaway pay-per-view.
00:22:59
Speaker
I wouldn't say throw away. I think there's some really cool like, you know, seeds that can be sown to set other things in motion. You know what I mean? Like, obviously like nothing that happens here is going to be like, Oh my God. You know what I mean? Unless Cody Rhodes somehow happened to like lose the championship, which is not going to happen. I don't think there's anything that's going to be like so shocking, but I feel like this is a great, like I said, like.
00:23:19
Speaker
We're so in some seas, we're getting some things built up, we're on the road to SummerSlam. I feel like- This was just Triple H being petty doing this pay-per-view this weekend. That's all this was. Let's call it for what it is. We don't need to drag this out. That's all this is.
00:23:39
Speaker
I agree. This is much more akin to the early Saudi shows, which had a little like kind of like glorified house show vibes to them. Then, you know, the last the last few have really been like bona fide paper views, man. You know, we had Seth Rollins winning the winning the World Heavyweight Championship to start off that championship. We had an awesome Roman and Brock match a few years back in Saudi, you know, and then last year we had Roman and solo going for the tag belts against Sammy and K.O.
00:24:06
Speaker
Yeah, this is definitely a step below some of the last couple Saudi shows we've had but it you know one David abuse has been on fire on their paper views and to it's in the middle of the day So that automatically lowers expectations that makes it much more of a like fun casual watch and as long as it's entertaining You're good to go, dude. So yeah, I think I'm kind of with you though, man This isn't like, you know, I'm not pegged out on the on the hype mirror for this card Yeah
00:24:30
Speaker
All right, speaking of pegged out, what about Cody Rose versus Logan Paul for the, uh, for the undisputed WWE championship?
Cody Rhodes vs. Logan Paul Discussion
00:24:38
Speaker
It was originally, you know, Cody or Logan or both. Neither. I think this is, I think this is a good, I think this is a good match, but I don't think there's any world in which we think that Cody Rose is going to lose this title at that's what I thought.
00:24:54
Speaker
A pegging joke. Gina doesn't even realize what she said. Speaking of getting pegged out. Moving on. Moving on. It's just a smooth transition. I think there's a greater than 0% chance that Logan Paul wins this belt. We got SummerSlam coming up in Cleveland.
00:25:12
Speaker
You could totally see him going to his defending champ there and just being the most hated guy and wrestling and give Cody the belt back. Think back to 1998, dude. Steve Austin was even more red hot than Cody is his baby face. He lost the championship two months after he won it. He lost it to Kane for a night and got it back. And then he lost it again a couple months later. So baby faces don't tend to have the long runs. I know that's what we've been conditioned to expect nowadays.
00:25:38
Speaker
I don't know, man. I, I mean, I'm fine putting money on it. I think Cody wins, but to me, it's not completely out of question that we don't get a shock moment. Like Jordan said, dude, they're putting this up on the weekend where AEW is at a very, very critical moment in their history and they got a major paper view going down.
00:25:53
Speaker
WWE could steal the weekend by having Logan Paul win the championship on Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I actually, uh, me and J-Bone talked about this on Rawdown about, you know, the hot potato era and, uh, on the, in the attitude era where they were just like, you know, the title was going back like one week, it was like Triple H or the title of the next week, you know, mankind had it. Then the week after, you know, Kane had it like, I think we're due for that to happen.
00:26:17
Speaker
Not that it's not that I'm saying it's happening this weekend, but I think it's due. I don't think we're going to see like any four year reigns with titles anymore. I think it'll be very short reigns from from here on. Yeah, I 100 percent. I don't think it's going to be the hot potato era where it's like week to week. But I definitely anything more than a couple of months, I think, is probably going to be, you know, out of the picture. I don't foresee anything, anything even creeping up to where it's like, oh, my God, like, you know, he's coming up on
00:26:45
Speaker
you know, 400 days or something like that. I think it's just going to be, you know, another, another X factor. All right. That to toss a little bit more sauce on Logan Paul for this July 20th, live streamed on Netflix. Jake Paul is going to be fighting Mike Tyson. That's going to be an absolute freaking spectacle, man. Like, I mean, that's going to get a ton of eyeballs, probably going to be one of the most watched sports events, at least in like, you know, wrestling MMA boxing this year for sure.
00:27:12
Speaker
You know, WWE, Triple H, Nick Khan, TKO, they would love to have, you know, their top championship out there parading around on Logan Paul's shoulder for this. You know, the U.S. Championship's cool having it there, but the U.S. Championship ain't got that giant WWE logo on it like the big belt does, man. So, you know, if he's got it and you can throw in some hype that, you know, hey, he's going to be defending against Cody Rhodes, you know, get them to mention that a couple of times on the air. I don't know, man. Like I said, I think Logan Paul's got a shot at winning this.
00:27:38
Speaker
Oh, it makes sense. Cody's losing, but not at this pay review. Like dude, SummerSlam is exactly four months after WrestleMania that that's plenty along over rain for Cody. He doesn't need to win it back at SummerSlam. He's going to lose it at SummerSlam.
00:27:53
Speaker
Logan Paul is not winning this. And we know Cody. We can't go from what we had when Roman was on TV once a month to going back to Cody, who's on TV every week and wrestling every week. Dude, he's not losing it this fast. I'm fine with Logan Paul, but Logan Paul is not winning the bell right now. It literally makes no sense at all.
00:28:18
Speaker
Well, I mean, like you said, I think he's going to, he'll lose it within the next four months. I mean, if it's not before summer slam, definitely, you know, at summer slam, I think, because we're going to set up the rock versus Cody. And we need to, I mean, we got to set that up at some point and it doesn't have to be for the title. I don't think it's going to be a situation where the rocks come in for the freaking, you know, WWE championship from Cody. It's just going to be a, you know, a grudge match. So.
00:28:42
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. Anything's anything's on the table. You know, the rock is still lurking out there. I mean, it's not going to be any time soon, but he's still he's still lurking. So we got a ways like, you see how much weight Cody Cody's days are numbered.
00:28:58
Speaker
When the show goes off the air with Logan Paul holding up both belts, just remember the case that I built for it here tonight. I'm glad you can picture it, but it ain't looking out. You know what? I mean, Seth does have a point. They did do the contract signing, and it was supposed to be for title, but then it was like, no, I'm not putting my title up. You just only put your title up, so I could possibly see that happening.
00:29:23
Speaker
It's a possibility, you never know. I was reading rumors they are penciling in Cody and Rock for WrestleMania, not even this year, so who knows? I don't understand why everybody- If I'm putting money on it.
00:29:38
Speaker
But go ahead, Jordan. I just don't understand why everybody thinks the rock is coming back anytime soon. Like that's what I mean. The dude is filming. Why wouldn't he, dude? Because he's filming three movies like he's he's not coming back. Dude, the rock is insane. The rock is a freaking madman. There's nobody in show business that works harder than the freaking rock. You're not like I can totally see him.
00:30:01
Speaker
But do you honestly think a Hollywood exec is gonna let him go back and wrestle and risk him getting injured not being able to finish filming a movie? No, I don't think he's gonna go back and wrestle but his presence can show up I mean, why can't he just show up and distract Cody or do something? You know, he doesn't have to get in there and freakin, you know be rock-bottom him motherfucker So you just get in there and freakin, you know, like just shake things up or just make his presence known right? Like it doesn't have to be a suit like a mask
00:30:28
Speaker
We're not doing that in Saudi though. Like summer slam would make. No, no, I don't think it's happening. I don't think it's happening this weekend. I was just saying sometime within the next few months, dude, I think with before summer slam, I'm just more saying there's still too many people that are like, Oh dude, the rock is wrestling at summer slam. He is not fucking wrestling at summer slam. I think rumble, I think summer slam is where we set up the situation between Cody and rock. I think because all, all eyeballs are going to be on summer slam, dude.
00:30:56
Speaker
It's going to be back on American soil. It's already almost sold out. They got 51,000 tickets available for it, 45,000 already sold. Yeah. I feel like that's when they're going to set up the whole Cody rock situation that's going to play out at either Royal Rumble or if it goes into mania season or whatever. I don't know. I think, yeah, if I'm picking it right now, I think it's going to be Cody and Rock at the Rumble.
00:31:20
Speaker
And somehow or another, I don't know what the mechanics would be, but I think we ended up spinning it and we get Rock and Roman at Mania this year. It's gotta happen. Yeah, Rock and Roman has to happen at Mania this year. There's just too much on the line for that match not to come to fruition, you know what I mean? Cody and Rock is definitely the match at the moment. It's got more heat on it right now, but dude, Rock and Roman, that's a legacy match right there, man. Like I said, they have to put that check in the box, dude.
00:31:46
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, that was, that was the, that was the plan all along before the Cody cry baby took over. Let's, let's be honest. That was the match that they wanted to put out there for us. So we're, we're going to get it. And I think it's going to be next year. Just bonus question. We can't, we can't talk about, uh, you know, WWE without talking about uncle Howdy. So are we going to see uncle Howdy at, uh, in Saudi? Howdy and Saudi.
00:32:14
Speaker
Uncle Sam. That'd be a weird crowd to debut him against, dude. I mean, those crowds have been hot, but I don't know, dude. I feel like all the vibes and the marketing and everything's gone into it has really been catered to the American audience, man. So I don't know. Even somewhere like France, it was red hot. I feel like it'd be weird debuting him there. I feel like it needs to happen on American soil. Yeah, agreed. All right.
00:32:39
Speaker
All right, well, overall hype for this particular
Beverage Choices and Parenting Humor
00:32:42
Speaker
show. Are we giving it a thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs sideways? If this was at nighttime, I would, you know, I hate to say this because I love wrestling, you know, whatever flavor it is, WWE, AW, GCW. If this was happening at nighttime, I would be low-key annoyed that this is the card they were presenting me that I'm going to have to give up, you know, a weekend evening to. But the fact that it's in the afternoon, I'm cool with it, man. I'm excited to sit down on the back porch, crack some cold ones, get some,
00:33:08
Speaker
Get some good food going and watch some daytime wrestling. Yep. I'm excited. I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be a good show. What was the last time there was a bad pay-per-view? Facts. All right. Y'all ready to talk some AEW? Let's hit the beverage break first. Let's talk about our beverages first.
00:33:46
Speaker
All right. We, the beverage break is where we talk about what we're sipping on as we pod. She always has the absolute lamest choices. It's going to have goats milk in it. It has to have goats. I've been drinking a lot of goats milk. That's, that's facts. I've been putting it in my coffee every day, but I don't have goats milk tonight. I actually have coconut water is my, my choice for this evening.
00:34:14
Speaker
Bro, you guys got to know, man, I'm out in the yard. Out of the 24 hours of my day, I think at least 12 of those hours are spent outside. Dude, I'm sweating and my electrolyte imbalances are going on, dude. You can get headaches, migraines. You got to stay hydrated, man. Coconut water is the way. It's so good, so good for you. Keeps your electrolytes in check because water is not enough. If you're out there sweating your ass off every day, water is not enough. You need some
00:34:42
Speaker
potassium, some magnesium, all the good minerals that are going to keep your body balanced. I'm fueling up with some coconut water and also we have two six-year-old twins that are coming to hang out with us for the next two days. I got to keep my energy up. I can't be waking up tomorrow morning hungover and feeling like crap, having a four-year-old and three six-year-olds running around my house.
00:35:09
Speaker
I am drinking a dogfish head sequin sour ale. It's an old favorite. This is one we kept in stock all the time. We lived in Virginia, but out here in West Tennessee, the craft beer options aren't as plentiful. But luckily, we went down to Texas for work last week and hit the total line and stocked up on some. So very good. If you like sours, it's probably one of the best ones I've ever had. Jordan, what you sipping on?
00:35:33
Speaker
the old classic Bushlight tonight, midweek. I'm going to work tomorrow. Zoe's last day is tomorrow. So last day elementary school, so 11 o'clock. We got to go be there for fifth grade graduation or whatever the fuck it is. So I don't want to be tanked tomorrow morning.
00:35:52
Speaker
It just blows my mind that these graduation ceremonies happen in the middle of the day, dude. Are they just trying to screw half the freaking parents? You know what I mean? I don't know. I just feel like it's so sucky for them to have all the ceremonies in the middle of the day. Maybe I'm just now getting into the schooling situation and seeing all my friends
00:36:16
Speaker
kids graduating from kindergarten, second, third grade, all that kind of stuff. Um, but yeah, dude, like our parents taking off work in the middle of the day to go watch their kid, uh, graduate from, you know, elementary school. I think it sucks. They should just do it on a weekend morning or something. I guess nobody wants to give up their weekend morning for that either, but yeah, don't ever fucking suggest any weekend shit. She and I, I'm glad you're not in charge of this because I'd be fucking pissed if they were like Saturday morning at nine, show up school.
00:36:47
Speaker
Well, maybe even like Friday night or something. You know what I mean? I know there's parents that work on the week, on the weekdays at nighttime and stuff too, dude. But like 11 o'clock on a weekday is like, that just seems like fucking, you know, I mean, it sounds great unless you're like a seven year old that's parent can't get off work and come to the fucking ceremony and you're sitting there by yourself. This is only fifth graders. Like this is just the fifth graders that are leaving elementary school. That's who this is for tomorrow. So there won't be any seven year olds graduating fifth grade tomorrow.
00:37:17
Speaker
Well, you know what I mean. There's a lot of kindergarten graduations too. I think they graduate from every grade now. I think that's like a thing. You graduate from first grade, second grade, third grade. I just remember having an eighth grade graduation and then high school graduation. Yeah, we had an eighth grade. It wasn't even graduation. We had just like an eighth grade award ceremony type thing and then high school graduation. So you think school has turned into a real life Billy Madison?
00:37:41
Speaker
Zoe pass the fifth grade. Oh man. What about you, Marco? What are you sipping on? I'm sipping on a Lord Hobo, uh, six one seven hazy IPA. Um, six one seven is the area code around the good stuff. Yeah. It's a 6.17%. Hence the name six one seven.
00:38:09
Speaker
which is not much, it's not going to do anything. That'd be good by the end of the show. It's pretty strong beer, dude. That's pretty strong, dude. I feel like anything over five is pretty stout. Yeah. A six for me, I'd be buzzed. Seth got me this, was it the S'more one that's a 9%? Oh my God. Yeah, there you go. He got me this S'more stout. This is by Martin House Brewing out of Fort Worth, S'more Stout. It's a 9.2%. It's a stout made with chocolate, vanilla,
00:38:38
Speaker
Marshmallow and graham cracker. Wow. I'm gonna do a live taste test. Yeah word. I'll taste it All right, let me let me she stayed to save the segment yes See you guys I am gonna check I'm gonna take a sip What tasty notes are you getting on the nose? I'm getting some definitely getting some vanilla in there look candy ish marshmallow type notes coming through the the nasal cavities I
00:39:08
Speaker
Roasted barnwood. Roasted barnwood. Dude, that's pretty damn good, dude. I mean, the stouts are always one of those things. They're like a one-hitter-quitter. I'm not just going to sip on it, drink stouts all night. But yeah, if you're just finishing off your night with this nice chocolatey vanilla beer, this is fucking good. I really don't like stouts that much, dude. I'll get them for Sheena occasionally. If I am going to have one, it's got to be absolutely make your teeth hurt cold. That's good, dude.
00:39:33
Speaker
Taste it and see what you think. Yeah, I thought you were going to do the. That was just what. Oh, man. Missed opportunity. I was going to do my Sasha Banks coffee, poured it out, dude. It looks like chocolate syrup pouring out of there, dude. I can't do that shit. Like the South's just remind me of drinking coffee and I fucking hate coffee. I can't do it. I love stouts. I got iced coffee, dude. That's the vibe I got, man. It is a.
00:39:58
Speaker
It's good though. Like I said, I like, I like stouts. It's just, I mean, they're just like a specialty type item. Like I'm like, oh crap, this is, looks like a good stuff. But like I said, so they have to be ice cold. Cause yeah, if you're drinking like a, you know, just room temp stout. I don't mind a Guinness, man. Like Guinness can be good, but I don't know if it's like a tree stout, dude. Cause it's kind of, Guinness feels kind of light. No, I like, like the, like the chocolatey, like the coffee stouts things. They have to have a flavor to them. I feel like Guinness is just like straight up stout. Yeah.
00:40:26
Speaker
All right, well that wraps up the beverage break segment.
AEW Event Preview and Match Dynamics
00:40:30
Speaker
That wraps up tonight's tasting segment sponsored by goat's milk and goat's semen. Bro, that freaking, that stout would be really good with some goat's milk. Oh my. Oh, I thought you were going to say the other thing, geez. I was like, wait, what?
00:40:46
Speaker
Dude, it's so, yeah, dude, I'm going to try and throw a little goat's milk in there. Delicious. All right. So we're not going to touch on every single match, uh, for, for AEW, but we'll be here right until bell time on Sunday. Yeah, exactly. But we are, we are going to hit the highlights. So we are getting really strong versus will Osprey for the intercon or international championship. This should be a banger, dude. This is going to be a match. Yeah.
00:41:11
Speaker
I don't think it's going to be the match tonight. We're going to talk about the one that should be, but I think the build's actually been really good, man. I'll definitely was like, you know, gave the little people's eyebrow to it when I saw will Osprey's going for the international championship.
00:41:22
Speaker
The build's been gritty. They kind of, you know, they made it very realistic talking about all the history of these guys have with each other. And Roger Strong, not the most exciting personality, but dude, when inside the ring, he's his crisp, like, I mean, he's kind of like a poor man's will Osprey dude. Like just, you know, not, doesn't do crazy acrobatic stuff, but everything he does looks very believable. It looks like it hurts. And yeah, I think it's going to be a damn good match.
00:41:46
Speaker
Yeah, this is a perfect match for Will Ospreay going for his first title. Him and Roddy are going to kill it. I'm really excited for this match, honestly.
00:41:57
Speaker
Marco, who's going to, who's going to get, who's going to retain or who's going to win. I should say not retain. I think, I think Roddy's going to retain, but, uh, I think so. I'm going to go with the Billy goat. No, I think, I think Billy goats win in this one. It's, um, as, but yeah, as much as I love, it's time. I love Robert's time. It's time. I don't think it would be the worst decision in the world to have him get screwed over by the kingdom. Cause they really need to, uh, they really need to establish them, but.
00:42:25
Speaker
With where AEW's at right now, dude, I really feel like they're kind of a little bit of a crossroads creatively. I feel like Tony Khan, we're absolutely crucified if Will Ospreay goes out and gets beat on pay-per-view, man. I don't feel like they have any choice but to have him win. I agree. Very true.
00:42:42
Speaker
All right, next up we're going with a barbed wire still cage match for the TNT championship. We got Adam Copeland versus Malachi. This is the most excited I'm on the show. There's no chance this isn't going to be Austin. You know, Edge, Adam Copeland, he's been a big fan.
00:43:00
Speaker
Malakai black going back years to the WWE days on the old ENC, you know show pot of awesomeness He would always hype up Alistair So, you know and just probably about as wholesome as it gets as far as veterans, you know Want to put over that the young guys dude I know he's gonna I feel like he's gonna go out and make Malakai look like the absolute top-level main event star that he's supposed to be and It's gonna rock. Yeah, we just finished watching dynamite and I mean he did he full-blown like carried
00:43:28
Speaker
Malachi black dudes like blood all in the ring. Just like it was it was insane. Oh, you make carry the movie I bet you like he carried him. Oh, yeah. No carry. Yeah, carry. Hit him with the, hit him with the, hit him with the brood blood. Yeah, carry doesn't work as a, as a verb. Like, uh, you know, if I'm trying to use it in the movie sense. They have a little musical teaser too. So it looks like we're getting, you know, brood, brood cope on Sunday. Brood cope.
00:43:55
Speaker
Yeah. Who do you guys think wins though? Because Malachi's come up short, dude. Malachi. They got to pull the trigger on Malachi, dude. I thought it's another one, dude, that he's going to get.
00:44:06
Speaker
the people that hate AEW, but the people that just love to criticize every little thing they do, I think they're going to be on Tony Khan's ass if Malachi loses this match. I mean, Malachi- As they should, dude. As they should. I mean, dude, Adam Copeland has nothing to prove to any fucking body. So like, dude, Malachi needs this win. He needs- He should be at the top of the car. Honestly, I don't think anybody would care if tomorrow morning
00:44:27
Speaker
Tony Khan just tweeted out like hey guys, you know what slept on it last night We're gonna swap Malachi and Christian Christian and you're fighting in the barbed wire cage Malachi's fighting swear for the belt the main event I feel like that would boost by rate for Sunday. Yeah, like the dudes just he can go in the ring The look is there the characters they're like he's got everything man. Like he's house of black is the best act in AW
00:44:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's a crying freaking shame, dude. They did the right thing by letting them win at Dynasty, right? They always forget what the, yeah, Dynasty. I mean, they've had, they've generally had success, but it just, it feels like it should be so much more. Like they, I mean, you saw tonight when they do the stats, dude, Malachi Black's been there what, since mid 2021, right? We've been up on three years. He's wrestled 13 singles matches in AW.
00:45:15
Speaker
13 singles matches in three years, man. How was that possible? After all, it's wrestled 13 matches in January. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. But here's the thing. And I, this is what I've always said. Why is it that after his NXT run, the Alistair black and Malakai thing just has not worked on the main roster WWE or a UW. Like what are we missing?
00:45:43
Speaker
Triple H. I mean, I feel like, I feel like, yo, Triple H, true. We were missing Triple H and WWE and yeah, we're missing Triple H and AEW too. But I feel like it's hard when you have like a spooky, macabre, supernatural, like type gimmick. I feel like it's, you know, I don't know. I feel like you gotta know exactly what to do with it, right? Like, cause I mean, they do a lot of, I mean, they do the mist and they, you know, they freaking possess Julia Hart and like the whole thing.
00:46:08
Speaker
Yeah, so you're, you're suspending a lot more disbelief than you are, which is like a regular wrestler, dude. So I feel like a lot of times, I mean, same with Bray, dude. There was times when I was like, dude, what the fuck are they doing with Bray, man? Like, you know, why, why is Bray just like continuing to lose? And I feel like it's just lack of creativity and imagination with the creative team, right? Like they just don't really know how to handle those type of, those type of acts, right? Like,
00:46:31
Speaker
I think, I mean, there's, that's definitely a thing across wrestling, right? Sometimes it gets to, when it gets to the point where you got to ring the bell and have a match, sometimes it's like, okay, why does this guy, why does he exist in the same world as like, well, Osprey, who's just trying to be the best wrestler ever. Um, but I did, I honestly, to me, man, I think there's been enough smoke there that I think Malachi, Alistair, whatever, Tommy end, whatever you want to call him.
00:46:54
Speaker
I think he's kind of just a pandy ass to work with backstage. We've talked about that. I mean, that's the most likely scenario. Nobody's ever come out and straight up said he's like a cancer, like a CM Punk type, but there's been a lot of different stories about him, like, you know, turning down creative ideas and stuff like that.
00:47:08
Speaker
More power to him, dude. You want to stand your ground and stuff, but I think the fans have been the ones that have lost out from not seeing these guys on TV more. He's lost out by not just allowing himself to do things that would ultimately lead him to have more success and get more television time and have more titles and stuff like that. I think WWE, I think he got the injury bug. He got hurt a little bit there on NXT. He had that thing where he had the twisted testicle or something like that.
00:47:37
Speaker
He was banged up a little bit coming out of just coming into the main roster. It seemed like he had like a little like, you know, two year run there where he just couldn't stay healthy. And you know, for Vince, dude, like availability is always like the biggest thing. Yeah.
00:47:52
Speaker
You got to be available seven days a week. That's, that's more of what I think it is is I think he's just a pain in the ass because like everybody always just goes to cause triple H wasn't there. Like dude, Andrade has went over like a wet fart since he came back to WWE. Like there's just, I don't believe that. I just think there's certain guys that are just not going to work with elevate on the, on the main roster. And those are two of the examples. I just, I don't know.
00:48:21
Speaker
having said all that because they are so good. Yeah, having said all that Malachi is winning on Sunday like there's edges putting him over like dude this edge title reign has been fucking incredible the weekly matches every one of them has been a banger.
00:48:37
Speaker
I feel like Edge would like, I feel like he's the type, again, you know, maybe he's an asshole behind the scenes, but everything we know about him, I feel like Edge would refuse to go over, right? Like if they show up on Sunday and Tony Khan's like, hey, we're gonna have you win. I feel like Edge would like put his foot down and be like, no, we're losing this match. Remember, Edge was, he was, you know, him and Jericho were the ones that were foot stomping for John Cena and Team WWE to lose to Nexus way back at SummerSlam 2010. So he's always been about, you know, the long-term booking, putting over the younger guys, so.
00:49:04
Speaker
I hope we see a big moment for Malachi because I love the dude. Yeah. Same. All right. Willow Nightingale is finally getting to fight Mercedes Monet again for the AWTBS championship. I would pay double the paper. I think it's going to be 50 bucks. I'd pay 100 bucks for the pay-per-view if you could guarantee me that Mercedes was going to lose, man.
00:49:29
Speaker
I just did. I cannot stand her, dude. I already didn't like the way she left WWE and nothing I've seen on this run has caused me to be like, you know what? Maybe I was wrong. She's really entertaining. I'm rooting for Willow to straight up freaking wreck her, man. You know that's not happening. There's no way. No. There's no way they paid her all this money. That makes even grosser, dude. Yeah, they paid her all this money. I feel like Willow's already more over, man. Do you see it? Dude, the crowd seems to be behind Willow now, man.
00:49:57
Speaker
Like the CEO chance like yeah that first we did it they were there now it's so cringe because like they got the CEO Piping through the speakers. Yeah, you look at the crowd and everybody sitting on their hands It looks like a crowd of corpses dude while the CEO is like Blair Yeah, it sounds like the 10,000 people are yelling it man. It's like no dude like
00:50:16
Speaker
So I don't know, man, if they meant for her to be a heel all the time, well done, because I feel like she's getting booed on. She just doesn't, she just doesn't fit. I heard Chad Smith talking about this one time and it really made sense. Like she has a very WWE presentation about her that just doesn't connect with the AEW audience and the style and the fans. Like AEW is a little bit more fast and loose with their promos and they're a little bit more gritty and just kind of like off the cuff. Whereas like Mercedes is very heavily
00:50:45
Speaker
Heavily scripted. Down to the entrance, hitting the same mark, at the same time, at the same point in music every time. A thousand percent. So I just feel like, yeah, it's just not connecting. She just needs to let loose a little bit more. Because she's a great wrestler. Great wrestler, dude. But yeah, it's just not... I mean, after that first week, it's just kind of been like a wet fart for Mercedes. But I mean, it sucks because like you said, I mean, they've already paid her so much money and they expect her to really elevate the women's division.
00:51:14
Speaker
And maybe they do need to get rid of the CEO chant though. And what's really missing is Michael Cole yelling it's boss time every time he comes out. Like that's what's truly missing in the presentation.
00:51:26
Speaker
They should have just changed the game. Why did we have to stay with the boss CEO thing? Like CEO is so cringe compared to boss. I feel like they should have just cut the check to get the name Sasha Banks. They didn't know what WWE would ask him, but I feel like Tony Khan's got the money. Sasha Banks was such a perfect name. Like even just the name seemed second rate. Yeah. And I mean the move, the bank statement, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, the boss, like all of it just fits so well. And CEO just sounds so like blah. No way they could save this.
00:51:54
Speaker
Go ahead. She said she always wanted to wrestle under her first name, no matter what, the next time. She always wanted to be Mercedes, no matter what. Yeah, I think she was Mercedes VK, like the little bit of time she spent on the Indies before she got into NXT. To me, the one thing that could save this, because I really feel like there's a chance that unless they need to go out and put on a banger, dude, because I think this match could totally just die a death in front of the crowd on Sunday, especially depending on where they put it at on the card.
00:52:21
Speaker
I think we need Brit to show up and confront Mercedes afterwards. I think that would save it and that would be something to immediately generate some interest. Because that's a true kind of dream match in women's wrestling over the last five or six years. Agreed. All right. We have another anarchy in the arena match. We got the elite versus team AEW. So with the elite, we got Okada. How do you say Okada's first name?
00:52:49
Speaker
Kazuch. Kazuchika. Kazuchika. Kazuchika. That's how they say it. Kazuchika. I was like, I know it. I was like, I know it's in there, dude. Yeah. I'm actually impressed you freaking brought it home. Yeah. Kazuchiko Okada versus Jack Perry versus Matt Jackson and Nicholas Jackson versus Brian Danielson, Cash Wheeler, Dax, and Darby.
00:53:17
Speaker
This is going to be insanity, man. I think the leader definitely went in, further establish them. Do you guys see any additional possible elite members or do you think they're holding it for? Yeah, not yet. I don't see it happening just yet. I think we still got a while before they introduce more elite members, but it's coming down the road. This is going to be a full fledged bullet club situation. I was going to say, do we need more elite members though? I can see Hangman getting in there today. Hangman was already leaning heel.
00:53:44
Speaker
I could see, and you know, they suspended, that first night the Bucks came out after revolution, they said Hangman was suspended. I could see the classic Hangman comes out, you think he's about to, you know, defend AEW and then he turns and is like the fifth man. I feel like Hangman would look real good with that group, but yeah, this should be an insane match, man. You know these guys are going to go all out.
00:54:04
Speaker
I have a weird, I can't wait to see what, what hijinks they pull. I have a weird feeling. This is Daniel Bryan's last match possibly ever, if not for a while. Like I feel like we got one or two Daniel Bryan matches left in us. Cause they said he was, he's extremely fucked up going into this match. Like he said to go to the doctor a couple of times. He had all the, the rock tape on his back tonight. We're definitely really winding down the Daniel Bryan clock.
00:54:32
Speaker
Well, didn't he say that? Yeah, I mean, he said he was done in August, but I feel like this is this might end sooner than we think. Like, I think he's really fucked up right now. He has to hold up his own because we have another broken person on the team, which is Darby Allen. And yeah, I think I think if Darby comes in with that flamethrower, he won't need to take too many bumps. You know, I think we need to see that flamethrower on Sunday, man, after seeing it tonight. Yeah, because I'm thinking they added him to the.
00:55:00
Speaker
team because him coming off of injuries, him coming off of breaking his foot and being hit by a bus, he would have to. He can lean on his teammates to do a majority of the work, but something tells me that's not going to stop him from doing something.
00:55:17
Speaker
Totally insane. You know he's going to do something crazy, dude. I mean, he's an adrenaline junkie, dude. He could be broken in half, like, you know, one leg hanging behind him, and he's still going to do a fucking coffee drop. You know, he was a legit stuntman before he came into wrestling, too, so he was actually probably more trained than just about anybody we've ever seen, and actually taking these insane spots safely.
00:55:36
Speaker
true do you think it was some of the stuff he does there's like no way to do it without causing long-term yeah you know harm yeah do you think it was a final destination scenario where he broke it because he was maybe he was in a climb Mount Everest
00:55:48
Speaker
and then he ended up breaking his foot. Do you think that was kind of like a final destination type of deal where, you know, in a good way. Where you cheated death? Yeah, you cheated death in a way. It would make sense because then you got hit by the bus. Yeah, exactly. Death is following him. That's what I'm saying. Death is still out there. That movie scarred all of us. Yeah. That actually got to school. Every elder millennial is already, yeah, has that trauma scar inside of us. I can't drive by a long truck with that. I'm fucking passing that mofo. Oh, yeah, nobody can.
00:56:18
Speaker
I'm not driving back behind a door and if anybody ever acts crazy on a plane I'm getting off that mofo crazy shower thought did you ever wonder like what? Extremely close like near-death experience you had like you didn't even realize right like somebody almost like swerved into you and you just didn't even notice or something Yeah, I remember mine. It was when Sheena was driving I still don't know how we didn't I still know how we didn't at least get into a very significant accident
00:56:46
Speaker
I mean, I would get like, I told you guys for it. I'd already processed like, okay, we're about to get hit. Let me just brace for shock here. It seemed like it was bracing bracing for shock is actually the worst thing. I mean, that's why I like when people would get in drunk driving accidents. They're actually, sometimes they come out.
00:57:02
Speaker
Like better because they didn't. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. Just let it go. Let it happen. Yeah. Dead and covered in feed. Yeah. Oh my God. I forgot we had all the alfalfa in the back of the. That would have been the worst part of the whole thing. She has really driven since then, dude.
00:57:23
Speaker
I say go about 50 on the driving, dude. It's very rare that she didn't even drive now. Listen, what did Jordan tell you? He told you all your driving credibility was gone, dude. I may have almost killed us, but you actually busted the window out of the back of me. That was as low impact as accidents get, man, compared to freaking Sona. I mean, she's still a good driver, but she's just a very twitchy driver, dude.
00:57:48
Speaker
I don't know. Hard on the brakes, hard on the. I don't think Seth likes anybody's driving, but his own like my driving to Knoxville was like pristine. And all I heard was, God, dude, I felt like we were going to die every second. I'm like, Oh, I remember. I remember. You almost rear ended. You almost rear ended people. And you were going like 90 miles per hour and then people hit their brakes almost doesn't count. I didn't back into a fucking dumpster at five miles an hour. So shut the fuck up. Like almost doesn't count.
00:58:15
Speaker
I am. That's the Gunslinger's freaking paradox, dude. You think just because you've won 20 straight gunfights that it means you're going to win 20 more, dude, when actually it makes it that much more likely the next one is the one that you lose. Hey, man, every time I'm riding with you, you're looking down at your phone at all times, and I'm getting a little bit nervous there, but I never say a fucking word, so I don't want to hear anything out of you.
00:58:38
Speaker
Yeah, Seth's sitting there lining up a 12 song playlist while we're driving down the highway, dude. He's setting up his next 12 listens or setting up a podcast queue. I'm like, what the heck are you doing, dude? I'm a very safe driver, dude. I subscribe to Arrive Alive, man. Yeah, I may glance out the phone every once in a while, dude, but I do not mess around with trying to push the limits on getting in and out of lanes, being aggressive on merges.
00:59:03
Speaker
You're not aggressive, but you hug that middle line. I feel like you're going to clip every freaking car that drives past us, dude. My freaking front headlight is over the line in the middle of the highway, dude. I'm just like, oh my God, dude. The other cars can move over, dude. If I swerve off off the side of the road, the trees can't dodge me, dude. Oh my God. Oh my God.
00:59:22
Speaker
It's a whole thing. I'll never forget how salty Jordan was when he got back from Knoxville from Seth just nagging him about his drive. I was like, what's wrong, Jordan? He was like, ask your husband. We did make it straight up smoky in the bandit too. Electric Boogaloo, man, freaking getting from Oakland, Tennessee. We went across the state of Tennessee in about four hours and 40 minutes to make it into NWA always ready for bell time. We had time to catch a shower in the hotel room, man.
00:59:50
Speaker
When we left Oakland, we were kind of sketched out and we were like, shit, dude. Maybe we're going to miss the pre-show, dude. It'll be OK. We actually made it there in time to freaking get a shower and get a drink before the show, man. So I will get Jordan props on that, dude. Results matter, and he definitely delivered that day. Oh, man.
01:00:08
Speaker
I was telling Sheena again that story. I forgot where we were at. We brought up about our seats for NWA Always Ready. For people that have new subscribers in the last two years, me and Jordan went to NWA Always Ready. They're back when NWA was still running halfway-height pay-per-views. This was the Matt Cardona era. He was the NWA champ. That's why we had the Always Ready
01:00:30
Speaker
name on the event. And, uh, you know, between the time we bought tickets and the time the show happened, he tore his shoulder or something. He has some injury. He ended up forfeiting the belt at the event, but it's going to be a real big deal. Either way is we got tickets because, you know, we live in the city now and we drove there and we had ringside seats. I think we were, were we second or third row? We were up there. Yeah. Third row seats, right? This is going to be money.
01:00:52
Speaker
And we get there, and I'm looking around. I'm looking at the tickets, looking at the road. I'm like, dude, I think somebody's in our seats. And then Jordan's like, no, they're not. There's our seats right there. And you look over, and there's like an eight-inch little swath of blue fabric that's got opening between two people. This is for me and Jordan to both squeeze in.
01:01:14
Speaker
And the guy that I was sitting next to was in like a sweat, he was in like sweat shorts, right? Like sweat pants, but they were shorts and a tank top. And he looked like white family era bronze strowman. So I'm just like cuddled into Jordan. If anybody saw me in Jordan, they would have swore we were dating, dude. Because I was turned all the way into Jordan, like leaned in, like basically head on shoulder. Like my whole body was facing Jordan almost sideways because I just didn't want to make contact with the guy sitting next to me. It was definitely Knoxville's finest in the house.
01:01:44
Speaker
And then Jordan's trying to help me out, dude. So he's asking the people down at the other end. He's like, he asked the guy sitting next to me. He's like, Hey, can you ask those guys to scoot their chairs down a little bit so we can get some space and what the guy said? It was the hillbillies were out. There were some hillbillies out there. We had a good time. It'd be in a pretty damn good show.
01:02:05
Speaker
Uh, but yeah, man, it was, it was, uh, not your typical WWE. We moved, we moved seats though. We only sat there for one match. Cause I told Seth, I was like, I can't sit like this dude. I'm, I'm way too big to be sitting in seats like this. We ended up moving to, uh, there was one section, like it was, it was a packed house, but there was one section where there was some open seats at the back of it. And me and Jordan sat there and actually had a much better time, dude. So yeah, fun show, man.
AEW World Championship Predictions
01:02:32
Speaker
All right.
01:02:33
Speaker
time for the main event Swerve versus Christian for the AEW world championship.
01:02:45
Speaker
Any world where Swerve is not going to win this, dude. I think the only intrigue on this is if we get some sort of big ending with either MJF or Hangman coming back to confront him at the end, dude. I think this is kind of a... I know it's going to be a good match because Christian is somehow doing the absolute best work of his career. I enjoyed the angle tonight with Prince Nana having the surprise return.
01:03:05
Speaker
Um, I know it's going to deliver, but this is definitely like, you know, challenger of the month type deal, like AJ going up against Cody and a backlash. So I don't, I don't see any way Christian wins, but who, who do you guys see for being swerve's next challenger?
01:03:18
Speaker
I wouldn't be mad at him running Hangman back. I mean, yeah. I mean, dude, Adam Cole's got to wrestle for that title, right? Like, it's got to happen. Is Adam Cole going to wrestle though? Yeah. Yeah. That's the other thing. You know him got to blow my ankle. Too small. He got a little spring. Yeah, dude. It just feels like such a rip off that we're getting Christian versus Swerve at one of their biggest pay per views of the year. That's what I said.
Critique of AEW Event
01:03:43
Speaker
Dude, I agree. AWS has so much going for it. Cause you're paying for it. Like if it was, yeah, if it was WWE where it's like, yeah, you're just, you're just paying for peacock, dude, but like you're paying 50 bucks for freaking, I mean that, that to be your main event. And again, it's going to be good, but it's.
01:03:59
Speaker
if this was the main event at dynasty i'd be completely fine with it like this would be expected to be the main event but dude it's fucking vegas it's double or nothing this show and i'm not saying this match is going to deliver like there's no doubt it will like Seth said Christian's absolutely putting on his best work of his career right now um so it's going to deliver but it just
01:04:20
Speaker
I mean, it just feels so cheap that this is swerves first pay-per-view title defense is Christian. I don't know. I mean, I'm still excited. Like anytime swerve Russell's I'm excited. I love swerve. He's fucking awesome. But God, dude, I hope they line somebody better up for the next couple of pay-per-views because
01:04:39
Speaker
just not bringing him into service, man. Yeah. He sticks such a backseat to this whole elite angle since it kicked off, man. And, uh, that, yeah, it kind of sucks. That's kind of always been the deal with AW, man. Like somebody wins the championship and then they immediately get cooled off. Um, but yeah, I, I think it is going to be a fun match, but I'm actually, I'm actually more intrigued by what's going to happen after the bell. Marco, is there any way at all that Christian takes the strap on, uh, on Sunday?
Christian as a Challenger Discussion
01:05:03
Speaker
No.
01:05:04
Speaker
No way in hell that happens. Like I said, I'm with Jordan. I'm not a big fan of this match going into it. You definitely deserve to have a bigger match for double or nothing, but not that Christian isn't a big neighbor or anything like that.
01:05:24
Speaker
But still, dude, it just seems like kind of a throwaway, right? I feel like if this was one of those hyped up episodes of Dynamite, it'd be the money, dude, you know what I mean? It seems like they kind of got away from those. When was the last time we even had a big, I think, big business back in March? Oh, yeah. When was the last time we had one? If it was something like that, yeah, I'm all for it, dude, or Battle of the Belt.
01:05:42
Speaker
even but yeah, this is kind of weak, man. You know, we're going to hear I am more excited for this one and king of the ring. Go ahead, Jordan. You know, we're going to hear after the bell. We're going to hear no chance.
Speculation on Vince McMahon Joining AEW
01:05:51
Speaker
No chance in hell. Now I'm telling you, man, as batshy crazy as it sounds, that would be a way to say the AW rating state if they brought Vincent
01:06:00
Speaker
And then if people heard that Vince McMahon was bad, dude, I mean, there's, there's a group of Americans out there right now that will just latch onto anything that's like anti-cancel culture, dude. So if people hear that Vince McMahon is getting back into wrestling with AEW, I think there's a ton of people that would maybe haven't even been watching WWE, but would suddenly tune in to see what AEW's got going on and to, uh, to support it. So are we going to get a Tony versus Vince match since he called him Harvey Weinstein?
01:06:26
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. Vince was gone whenever... Vince wasn't even with the company when Tony Khan said that David abuse the Harvey Weinstein of wrestling. Yeah, but he was definitely alluding to the Vince era for sure. I think Vince, even at 80 years old or pushing 80, I feel like he would absolutely murder Tony Khan if they actually got married. Yeah. Tony Khan was scared for his life against seeing punk. So imagine if Vince McMahon freaking started...
01:06:49
Speaker
They would never do it just because he's beyond toxic at this point, but I do think dollars and cents, man. I think it would actually be a good move to bring Vince in. It's going to be Vince and then he's going to do Swerve next challenger, Brock Lesnar.
01:07:08
Speaker
Dude, who's not watching that, dude? Who's not tuning in? Dude, again, we're going off. We're past fantasy booking. We're just making shit up now. But dude, yeah, I hadn't even thought about that. Imagine that Double or Nothing ends with Vince McMahon coming out and saying that he's got a hand-picked challenger that's going to take the belt from Swerve on Wednesday, and you show up on Wednesday and Brock comes out. Dude, AEW would catch fire instantly, man.
01:07:36
Speaker
Who's not watching that, dude? Brock and Swerve? Like, that would be insane. As long as it doesn't end like Brock and Kofi. No, that's not what would happen. He'd use it in eight seconds. That is what would happen probably, dude. Yeah. Bro, I mean, look, dude, Brock's the one that beat Big E, man. He took the belt from Bobby Lashley. Like, dude, if a black champion, watch out for Brock Lesnar. Dude, like, he's going to get that belt, dude. Yep.
01:07:57
Speaker
Yeah, freaking wild. I can't even wrap my brain around like if Brock Lesnar showed up at AEW, dude. I think it'd be awesome. I think it would be cool, but I can't. Triple H said he's still under contract, but he got asked about it. I can't remember if it was at WrestleMania or at the Backlash press conference. Well, you knew, because they would have said that they released Brock Lesnar. He basically kind of planted the seed that he could come back somewhere. He said Brock's just waiting right now.
01:08:22
Speaker
I think Brock's going to be back.
AEW vs. WWE Entertainment Value
01:08:24
Speaker
The urine twins are not debuting at AEW, let's be honest. Oh man. So yeah, overall excitement. I think AEW is going to deliver and be a better show top to bottom as far as just in-ring action and whatnot, compared to King of the Ring. But yeah, that wraps up our weekend of wrestling. All right. Do we got listener milshin? Yes, we do.
Jacob Fatou's WWE Potential
01:09:00
Speaker
All right, our first question comes in from Brett Sharrow. When does Jacob Fatou come into play? If they don't bring him in as a dominant force, then what are we even doing with all this bloodline 2.0? He's by far the biggest prospect of the family. And DJ Jr., or D. Jr. Wireman, he says, where's Jacob Fatou? So he kind of piggybacked on Brett's question.
01:09:21
Speaker
I mean the stories came out that they want to establish solo a little bit more as the new leader of the bloodline for they bring in Jacob pot to you so dude is super charismatic man he's got like he's got the electricity to him right like he's got the aura and he's incredible in the ring so I totally see that you don't want him to overshadow like honestly I mean
01:09:39
Speaker
You could have him show up in NXT and dominate, right? Like he could totally have some awesome feuds with Trik Williams and then bring him into the bloodline later on. I don't think they necessarily have to have him jump right into the bloodline right away. You know, Solo didn't come right into the bloodline right away either. But yeah, I don't know.
01:09:55
Speaker
It is kind of weird that, you know, he's been signed since WrestleMania. We haven't seen anything yet. Well, I think he can come right into the bloodline. I don't think they need him right away.
WWE's Bloodline Storyline Progression
01:10:03
Speaker
I think we need to let, you know, Tomatanga and Tongoloa kind of get established and get like, like you said, get solo some more, um, some more credibility, some more street cred, and, uh, then bring him in, right? Because if we're just bringing in all these people, we're like, where do all these people belong? What's the pecking order here? Where's the hierarchy? Why are these people coming in and joining?
01:10:21
Speaker
I feel like there needs to be some, some sense, and we got a lot, we get in a long way. We're going to carry this bloodline thing to all the way to next WrestleMania. So we got time to let it simmer. There's no sense in just like fourth inning right now. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. There's no sense in just like, you know, blowing it all right now. Um, so, yeah, they definitely got to reestablish Camacho. I mean, Tom Lola again.
01:10:45
Speaker
Uh, did you guys see everybody clowning, uh, solo for the, the red suit, the weekend?
Solo Sikoa's Fashion Critique
01:10:53
Speaker
I saw something. Yeah. It said the weekend. And then it said he's the weekday. That red suit did.
01:11:00
Speaker
It was bad He's the street champion dude he is but he's becoming the new freaking tribal chief dude Roman was the tribal chief in hoodies and t-shirts man like so yeah, so you want I mean you want him to be like Roman or you want him to stand out dude He doesn't have the Roman
01:11:21
Speaker
So I'm looking at right here, just the black suit with the gold chain. That's cool. I feel like that works, man. But the red suit with the black lapels. Somebody called him red solo cup the other night and I was dying. You know, the weekend's got an album cover with basically that exact same suit. That's the weekend. That's the weekday right there. Oh my God.
01:11:45
Speaker
he's trying but the thing is man like it it looked like uh i mean it looked like it was like off the rack yeah i mean it didn't it wasn't custom fit yeah it wasn't like tailored to him or anything like that i i feel like if you know and maybe that's something they decide let's say he needs to get with paul
01:12:01
Speaker
Get, you know, get some nice custom
Paul Heyman's Influence and Style
01:12:03
Speaker
tailored suits. I'm like, cause dude, you see like Roman, when Roman would rock the suits, like it looked like a million bucks, man. And like, you know, I mean, yeah, Roman's probably like a million bucks. I mean, he's still, I mean, we, we forget because he's been such a big part of the bloodline dude. He's still new here. Like, you know, I mean, he's got, he's got one more, he's got one more free pass though. And as soon as I just clown him.
01:12:24
Speaker
Like I said, you got enough money, you got Paul Heyman, you got the wise man right there. Get you a tailored suit and come out looking fresh, man. You can't come out like that again, dude. Yeah, what's the suits that I always put on the ringer, the custom suits? I forget. There's like an ad. They run on all the podcasts on the ringer about these like custom suits. Yeah, Paul's been in New York forever, dude. I'm sure Paul's... I mean, Paul's suits always look amazing, dude. It's not like Paul has any kind of nice physique whatsoever, but his suits always look very, very nice on him, dude. Paul's like an oompa loompa in a suit. Yeah, so yeah. Get your boy hooked up, Paul.
01:12:54
Speaker
Oh my God, you're gonna get mad at me for talking like a little taking a little jab at Paul and you guys are freaking clowning solo Sokoa dude. Solo Sokoa would kill all of you. Paul Heyman's a legend. We don't ever need to be smurfs the goddamn name of Paul Heyman. That's right. I was being complimentary to him. He's the Hall of Famer. No, dude, I love Paul Heyman.
WWE Post-WrestleMania Analysis
01:13:15
Speaker
Johnny JB, how do you feel about WWE post WrestleMania? Is it still as entertaining or has it gotten a little boring?
01:13:22
Speaker
there's no way you're going to live up to what was going on when The Rock and Roman and like, you know, finishing the story situation. Like, you're not gonna just leave WrestleMania after that crescendo and just keep the hype for, you know, say it that high, right? Like, there's gonna be a lull period where we're rebuilding and figuring out what's next. But I wouldn't say that it's boring. I don't think it's boring. I think it's just we're rebuilding.
01:13:50
Speaker
moving forward writing new stories losing the rock and roaming out of that bloodline storyline really put a dent in it but i mean it's still enjoyable it's nowhere near as good as it was two months ago obviously but it's still good yeah you mean so i finally caved this week after a long time of resisting it and subscribed to the uh the jim cornet podcasting just because it's you know i always like jim cornet but all his episodes are like three hours long and that was kind of like the biggest reason pushed me off but i finally just caved and listened and
01:14:19
Speaker
He actually made a really good point about the state of WWE right now.
Jim Cornette's Take on WWE Strategy
01:14:23
Speaker
They're so red hot and the fans are just so into everything that they're doing. The storyline wise, they're barely doing anything. They're doing absolutely just enough to inch things forward week to week. People just want to come out.
01:14:35
Speaker
see all the big stars, cheer their head off. He said, it seems like a good show. But then he's like, if you look at it after the show and ask yourself, OK, what happened to move stories forward? It's like, you know, they're just barely just doing enough to keep doing just enough to keep the water moving. And I think that's where we're at right now until we hit, you know, we get we get to late June, July. I think we'll start seeing that bill for SummerSlam, seeing some things, some cool stuff happening. All right. Zach Hertzler.
01:15:02
Speaker
Anything on the menu for King and Queen of the Ring this weekend?
Food Plans for Wrestling Events
01:15:06
Speaker
Marco, y'all hooking up any special food? No, I will be actually at a kid's birthday party, so I will not be- Of course, the middle of the day, that's right. Yep, it's the afternoon, we'll be there.
01:15:18
Speaker
Yes i'll be eating out so you're gonna be so you're gonna be having dogs and burgers or you know probably cake and chicken nugget platter and stuff and then coming home and being upset that i ate all that stuff so yeah that's my afternoon Jordan y'all cooking anything up
01:15:37
Speaker
No, no, nothing special. I'm making any King wings. No, we'll probably do something on Sunday, but nothing on Saturday. I mean, middle of the day, like I feel like that's like, I don't know, I'm not gonna make anything special for that. I'll drink during the show and that'll be the extent of it.
01:15:56
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not sure what we're going to do either. We're going to do Redneck Fajitas. That's what we did last year. Oh, yeah. There's Night of Champions was the Saudi pay-per-view at this time. That's our... You do fajitas, but you do it with like andouille sausage and shrimp instead of like chicken and steak or whatever. It's really good. Redneck Fajitas. Yeah, do it out on the Blackstone. A little Cajun seasoning. Yeah, really, really good. So yeah, I forgot we were doing that.
01:16:16
Speaker
Uh, so that's what we're gonna have zach roaster also says how annoying is live morgan's laugh on one being not annoying and ten being extremely annoying I don't I don't find really anything at all annoying about
Liv Morgan's Appeal
01:16:28
Speaker
live. Yeah, I think she's just uh, she's delightful ever since I saw that mug shot I've that she's been like my number one wwb crush. Yeah, beautiful gorgeous dude Yeah, like I mean they always look gorgeous on tv but seeing her with like the new makeup and stuff it was just like
01:16:41
Speaker
And it was a mugshot. It wasn't even like a no makeup, like, uh, you know, like posing. It was literally like a cheap mugshot camera that took it. Yeah. She's fine. But, uh, number one on my shit list right now is, uh, buddy Matthews posting fucking pictures of laying on Ria's cake. I can't take anymore. It's too much.
01:17:04
Speaker
He's just he's just taunting us dude that picture the other day though or yesterday whenever it was I was like Jesus Christ, man Can we please end this like as soon as possible? I can't take any more maybe
01:17:17
Speaker
Maybe, uh, maybe Rhea and her downtime will open an only thing to keep up. Okay. If you want me to pay for an only fans, Rhea is one I will pay for it. And I will gladly share that link with the group. Like, I mean, did Mandy Rose does look like she's shedding any tears at all about losing off on those day to day B checks. And I feel like.
01:17:36
Speaker
Rio's is got, you know, she's way, got way more like, you know, thirst appeal than any, uh, that Mandy had when she was in WWE. Like definitely pay for that. Yeah. Reopens and only fans, the floodgates are going to open.
Rhea Ripley's Popularity Speculation
01:17:52
Speaker
Thing is, dude, you can always do the only fans once the WWE star is like totally faded. You know what I mean? You might as well milk the WWE teat for all you can, then once it's dry, then you can hop over to the only fans. But yeah, Rhea's definitely got... I mean, what was last time we even saw somebody with the sex appeal to that level, dude?
01:18:07
Speaker
you know even the Bellas like your Nikki Bella was presented like that but she was never to the level that Ria is man Ria just really leads into it. Well I mean yeah the Bellas were always like PG-13 you know what I mean like they were never they were they never had a solid R rating. I mean we got pretty close to it but early 2000s Trish was uh
01:18:25
Speaker
very high up there. They didn't have OnlyFans at that time, but I would have paid for it if they did. Trish never did Playboy, man. It seemed like she's a mom, dude. Like a hand in a glove, man. She's a mom in a wife. Yeah, but I mean, she wasn't a mom back then, dude. Lita did it right. Did Lita do Playboy?
01:18:40
Speaker
Mm. I don't know. I think Maurice was like the last one to do Playboy. I'm telling you right now, though, some of the Mickey, Mickey James did like a swank or something like that. Christie and all them. But like, dude, I'm telling you right now, if Trish did it today, I would still buy it today because some of the pictures she posts. God damn.
01:19:02
Speaker
That fucking milk ain't going bad. Playboy isn't making magazines anymore. I think they cashed it in. I don't think Playboy's a thing anymore. That's sad. Yeah, end of an era. Speaking of the Bellas, Zack Hertzler hit us with pick one to watch, Total Divas or
Total Divas vs. Total Bellas Comparison
01:19:20
Speaker
Total Bellas?
01:19:20
Speaker
I go Total Divas because you get a mix of people. I like Total Divas. Yeah, Total Divas is- Total Divas is actually pretty entertaining. Yeah, because you still get the Bellas, but you get all the other personalities woven in there as well. What about you, Marco? Bellas or Divas? Oh, no, definitely Divas. You get the mixed bag with Total Divas. Total Bellas, meh.
01:19:44
Speaker
I've watched Total Bellas too. Total Bellas was entertaining, but it was just very much more... I mean, it was just a very niche product because it was... Total Divas was much more like backstage WWE with the Divas, but it was more just like following Nikki and Brie around. If you cut the wrestling out of it, you wouldn't really lose much on the show.
01:20:01
Speaker
Right. Yeah. The wrestling was a, was a underscore. Like it was very like not the forefront of the, of the total Bellas, but total divas was all about, was all about wrestling and being on the road and stuff like that. Jordan, did you watch either? No.
01:20:16
Speaker
You never watched Total Divas or Total Billas? I had no interest neither, so I have no input on this. You remember when we first got back into wrestling in 2014, they would have the Total Divas angles playing out on the show. Remember when Tyson Kidd was staying on his headphones during Natty's matches and wasn't paying attention to her matches, and it was an angle on Total Divas and an angle on Raw. I was like, God, dude. How did they get their hooks back in me when that's when I started watching wrestling again?
01:20:43
Speaker
Dude, I love Total Divas. I remember when we got back into wrestling, you were like, Sheena, this is perfect for you. It's trashy reality TV and wrestling mixed together all in one. So yeah, it was perfect. I fell head over heels for Total Divas and like binged the whole first season. Like it was already up on, what was it on back then? Not WWE, it was on Hulu. It was on Hulu, yeah. Hulu. Yeah. Because it was on E, right? Yes. Yeah. Yep. And that was our last listener mail for the day.
