And of course, our Patreon page. It's chickfolishow.com where you can log in and you can hang out with us, Marco. It starts at $1 per month. And man, the best part of it is interacting with everybody on the Facebook group. We have 150 people now. We've got a bunch of new members who are buying and selling. I mean, I see people signing up, Marco, and then like two days later, they're thanking somebody for
00:02:51
Speaker
whatever figure that they sent them. It's like people just jump right in and it's cool. I think Kenny Dinkins was one of the people that wrote, I'm in a couple other Facebook groups and I have no worries about anybody in this group buying and selling from anybody. And it's pretty cool. It's not a huge group, we got about 150 people, but it's pretty tight knit. And if you're looking for figures, it's a great place to buy and sell and trade stuff.
Facebook Group Activity
00:03:16
Speaker
Yeah, everyone's pretty legit in our group, yeah.
00:03:20
Speaker
Um, no issues, no problems. Um, never any drama or anything like that. Everyone has pretty good nature and you can all joke around. It's not all wrestling at all either. We talk about other stuff as well in our Facebook group. Um, I know a lot of the figures and figure, uh, Facebook groups and the wrestling Facebook groups only stick to those like type of topics, but we're all human. We're all in quarantine and we all need human interaction. So we talk about a lot more than, uh, than the, uh, than wrestling.
Wrestling Trivia Event
00:03:50
Speaker
Exactly, yeah, we're doing some live Zoom videos, I think next, it's actually next Tuesday. Yeah, next Tuesday. I want everybody to know we're doing a wrestling trivia on the Patreon page hosted by our buddy Tom Sliney, and you can get in there if you are a mid-carter or higher on our Patreon page.
00:04:09
Speaker
We're going to give the winner a Chick Foley show t-shirt. And also, I'm going to pick one random WWE elite off of Amazon and send it to you. You'll see what it is when it gets there. It's not going to be a King Harley race or anything.
Hasbro Figure Draft
00:04:24
Speaker
So don't get the hopes up. But it'll be something cool. And it'll be fun. I love doing trivia. I'm not too great at it. I've never done wrestling trivia. So this will be fun. I'm like a steel trap with most stuff. So that'll be cool.
00:04:38
Speaker
So if you're if you're a lower tier patreon member You can jump up to that for five dollars that will get you into those and we did a zoom happy hour a couple weeks ago Which was fun and with the five dollar tier you actually get those bonus episodes me and Mike just recorded over the weekend a Hasbro fig fig fed draft where we drafted a team of 20
00:05:02
Speaker
Hasbro figures, we're going to put together a WrestleMania card with those. And
Upcoming WWE Superstar Interview
00:05:06
Speaker
it was super fun. I was super drunk during the entire thing. And so I actually said that the Legion of Doom had never won the tag team titles. I was, I was wrong. Yeah, you were very wrong. I don't know where that came from.
00:05:19
Speaker
But yeah, and as soon as we got off the phone, Mike texted me like, dude, we need to do five more picks, supplemental draft. Because I pointed out to him, he didn't draft Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart because he's a moron. Yeah. So he grabbed those. I grabbed a couple more.
00:05:35
Speaker
That's gonna be pretty fun. I already have basically my whole WrestleMania card listed out and I gotta pick a venue, I gotta pick a main event and all that.
1996 Monday Night Raw Rewatch
00:05:44
Speaker
So it's gonna be fun. We'll do another episode with our card there and I'm thinking we can carry it into the next paper. You'd like a King of the Ring, a SummerSlam Survivor Series. We're pretty fun, man. So I'm excited about that. I actually am interviewing a former WWE superstar on Sunday.
00:06:00
Speaker
If everything works out and that interview will drop onto our patreon page, so we're constantly recording new stuff and bonus episodes there But this at this what you're listening to now You're still gonna get for free no matter what we'll always do this show for free But it's just kind of bonus content, and we had a good idea me and you me and you Marco and
00:06:19
Speaker
I think Mike is gonna jump in and she know what she can we are gonna watch every single episode from 1996 Monday Night Raw in succession and do a quick like 10 15 20 minute episode like breaking it down and You suggested this what where did this idea come from man?
New Patreon Supporters
00:06:36
Speaker
It's pretty pretty fun. I don't know. I think I watched The in your house. It's it's time And I believe it was named after Vader but something happened where Vader
00:06:49
Speaker
wasn't on the pay-per-view. But I ended up watching it. I was a huge Psycho Sid fan. And he was a champion at the time in 96, at the end of 96. And he had a match with Bret Hart. It was a championship match. And Shawn Michaels was at the commentary. So I'm watching it. I'm like, everything started coming back to me. I'm like, oh my god, I remember this happened and this happened. And then it dawned on me.
00:07:16
Speaker
96 either like at the end of 95 or the beginning of 96 started the attitude stuff. Because you hear Vince McMahon at the beginning of all the raws always saying oh, like diesel has a new attitude and Sean has a new ad like it wasn't the attitude area yet. But he was he was like kind of like foreshadowing like this is a new there's a new way of my product the product that you're going to see. These guys are not who they're who they're who you're used to essentially. Obviously
00:07:44
Speaker
HBK, he's the heartbreak head. But now you're seeing the real HBK that like the really, really flamboyant, they're really like aggressive. They got the attitude that doesn't care about anyone but himself. Like that's our onboard display. And I'm like, I'm like, it'd be fun to like, like, we should do that. Like we should just watch like every single episode of raw leading up to the pay reviews, watch the pay review. That might be a longer patron episode if we review the, um, review the, uh, the pay reviews there. But
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, this thought it'd be a fun idea to get our perspective on like, those shows back then, as we do now with the newer shows, like what, what, what the ideas are back then and what, what we were actually seeing.
00:08:23
Speaker
that type of stuff. So yeah, I'm excited about that. I'm actually really, really pumped that we're doing that. Yeah, it's going to be cool. And the first two episodes of 1996 have two guys that debut that have pretty big impacts going forward into the attitude era. So you kind of see the very beginning stages of that switch over to the attitude era, which I didn't think happened that early.
00:08:44
Speaker
I mean, you're thinking, you know, this is the first week in 1996, and, you know, so it's pretty cool.
WWE Money in the Bank Qualifiers
00:08:49
Speaker
So, yeah, check it out. We have two new Patreons this week. Aaliyah, not the former singer. Aaliyah is a longtime listener of our show, and she signed up for our Patreon. Thank you. And our good buddy James Melton, who heard about our Patreon group from the Major Brothers Patreon group, and signed up today.
00:09:07
Speaker
We appreciate you guys supporting the show. All the money we raised there goes right back into giveaways and t-shirts and all kinds of stuff. We have a bunch of cool stuff. I've been on a cool kick, man. I've been writing some articles on the Patreon page. I wrote one this week about how you should spend that stimulus check. And I have one right now I'm writing about 10 people that have never had
00:09:32
Speaker
a figure before from the WWE that deserve one. Can you name one of those people off of this list? That have never had a figure, let me think. Never had a figure. Never, ever. Wow.
00:09:50
Speaker
I think everyone had a figure at some point, but I know there are people that haven't had one. Are we going way, way in the way back? No, I don't have anybody too, too far back. I'll give you one example because we'll probably talk about him later because he was just on Dark Side of the Ring, but Dino Bravo never had a...
00:10:08
Speaker
I was actually going to say that, yeah. I was like, he'd be an awesome figure if they actually made one. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, so he's on the list. There's some WCW people in here, too. There's some early WWE. There's some new generation people that didn't get a figure. It's not anybody like, you know, huge Hall of Fame type names, but it's a pretty cool list, and I'll find some cool pictures of them that maybe should be made into this. I'll give you another one, because I'm excited about this one. I used to love Akushi.
00:10:32
Speaker
Just to fucking love Akushi. Akushi, yes, right. Never had a figure I don't believe. Wow. And I would love to see a Mattel lead of him. So yeah, that's I'm going to write that article over the weekend. And yeah, I've got my my my my writing. I don't know what you call it. I think it's I meant to get back into writing some stuff for the patron. I was doing that in the beginning before I was actually on the show. So yeah.
00:10:56
Speaker
I think you might hit the creative juices there. Yeah, it's pretty fun. You might jump back in the saddle. All right, let's get inside the squared circle. This is brought to our friends at ChalkLine. You can use code CHICK for 15% off of your order there.
00:11:11
Speaker
Let's start with SmackDown.
WWE SmackDown Highlights
00:11:13
Speaker
I did not get to watch SmackDown. Full disclosure, I did not watch too much wrestling this week, but Marco is going to hold up his part of the bargain here. I know Sheena is usually on top of all this stuff, but I did not watch SmackDown. Give me one or two big hits from this. I know my girl Dana Brooke qualified for the Money in the Bank. That's all I cared about. Yeah, Dana Brooke qualified. The other surprising thing is Tamita.
00:11:39
Speaker
Um, she beat Sasha. So technically she's in line for a shot at the smackdown women's championship, uh, at Bailey. So I'm assuming that's going to happen at, uh, at money in the bank. Um, uh, Daniel Brian, he qualified, I believe for the money in the bank letter match as well, which is pretty big. The other really big thing, speaking of big, big E taken home that the, uh, the tag team champions all by himself. So they did like a reverse.
00:12:07
Speaker
rematch from WrestleMania. They had the other tag team members of those respective teams. So like Miz and J.B.O.J., I can never tell the difference, and Big E, they had a match. Was it a ladder match as well, like from the WrestleMania? No, it wasn't a ladder match. It was a regular, just a triple threat match, but Big E won, and if you have the chance, go back and watch the celebration. So they do those like
00:12:33
Speaker
WWE.com exclusive like videos of like like interviews and stuff. It says him continuously celebrating and like he's exercising while he's like he's like he's like the work never stops and he's like doing kettlebells and he's like doing push-ups and he's doing setups and he's like hugging the belts and he's licking the belts and he's you didn't see him he uh on chill on air he actually like gives a uh he gives Corey Graves a lap dance uh holding the belts are just pretty funny so and he's rolling on the ground like
00:13:01
Speaker
And he's like, this is for you, Woods. This is for you, Kofi. And he's like, it's really good, but yeah. So yeah, they're the...
00:13:08
Speaker
Are they eight or nine times now? I think it's nine now. I think it's nine, yeah. I love seeing Biggie hold gold. I hope, you know, before he gets done his tag team run here, you know, with the company, that they give him a singles push. But let's get one more. Just real quick, let's run down these Money in the Bank matches. We can talk about them a little bit here. Daniel Bryan, Mysterio, Aleister Black, Apollo Crews, King Corbin, Drew Gulak,
00:13:37
Speaker
Oh, no. So we Corbin or Gulak next week. Yeah. Yeah. And then a T.B.D. They don't have a match announced for that or. Well, yeah, no, they didn't say they. Yeah, he's so kind of. Yeah, he's Corbin's so feuding with Elias for some reason. Yeah. He kind of he attacked Elias and they did some like injury update where like Elias is like like his kind of like his his musician side is kind of broke. So like you broke his finger and like his
00:14:05
Speaker
throats messed up and all the stuff. So I was reading some things. I was reading some rumors that they're going to repackage them a bit. Since there's no live audience, this kind of makes sense. I take it the fact that since there's no live audience, who's he performing for with his guitar and stuff? So he has to adapt his character to what's going on now. So I'm assuming you'll see something like that before Money in the Bank or AppMoney, Money in the Bank. But yeah, they just had TBD for that.
00:14:36
Speaker
And on the women's side, we've got Asuka qualified, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, and Dana Brooke. So I do like seeing some of these other people, like Apollo Crews and Dana Brooke, people that aren't in the title picture too much. It's a perfect opportunity for Money in the Bank to, if they're not going to win this thing, give some newer people the rub.
00:14:58
Speaker
especially now with, you know, just a limited audience and ability to do some cool stuff. I mean, you know, see, I see these people can step up to the plate and grab that brass ring. So, yeah.
WWE Raw Highlights
00:15:09
Speaker
Yeah. Besides that on SmackDown. So you said Tamina gets shot. I did see the ending with Braun and Bray. And that was that was really cool. That was really well done. Yeah. Yeah. Just like the
00:15:25
Speaker
You can't beat WWE at production when it comes to that, that type of thing. They're really good at, uh, I mean, they do hire a lot of like Hollywood producers and writers and stuff like that. So this is their thing. And if they're going with this, like route with like all these different types of like packages and stuff like that and all for it, especially like, like bravery binding Broadway came from with the, uh, the black, uh, mask there, the gift that he gave him, which is pretty cool. Um, but yeah, I'm excited. I'm actually.
00:15:54
Speaker
I'm actually kind of hyped for this match. I'm not sure what you think about it, really, but...
00:15:59
Speaker
I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I am too. I think they'll probably do something cool with it. I don't think he's going to take the title off of Braun yet, but I think there's going to be some sort of schmazzy, cartoony type of angle that comes from it. And I do like the kind of, he's still under control, throwback to the Wyatt family days. So that was cool. Let's move on to Raw. We talked about Mysterio and Aleister Black and Apollo Crews qualifying from the Money in the Bank.
00:16:29
Speaker
Uh, did we see, uh, Bianco's in ring for her debut. She made her raw debut, right? Yeah, she made her raw debut. Um, she completely destroyed. Um, and, uh, they, the street profits were actually on commentary during it. Um, not really commentary. They were just like kind of like being a live crowd, almost like giving her like hyping her up, which is pretty cool. Like, um, I wish they were doing that a lot more, like having like wrestlers or someone around like the barricade just like
00:16:57
Speaker
like you reacting to like the booze and stuff like that so I gave it kind of like that like uh that feel of a crowd there but yeah that was really entertaining the Viking Raiders thing did you see that video of the Viking Raiders a package that they did oh my god was I carpool carry it like what they're like smiling like just
00:17:17
Speaker
I mean, they totally ruined those guys, man. They were just monsters in NXT. And with the name change and just now I guess they're trying to make them over as mega faces, it just doesn't work. But I do want to go back to the Bianca Belair defeated Santana Garrett. And she is the number one fan of the Boot to the Face podcast. They're huge fans of Santana Garrett over there.
00:17:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, they do love you. Chris Rucker. Chris Rucker from that shows. He's a member of our Patreon now as well. He's a member of our family. I don't know if I mentioned that last week. He's awesome. We like to interact on our Twitter. We go back and forth. He's a good dude. In a good way. Yeah, I like that guy.
00:17:59
Speaker
We also saw Andrade. I really like what they're doing with this. I don't know if they've named this stable yet. We talked about it last week a little bit.
Setup for McIntyre vs. Rollins
00:18:08
Speaker
I mean, Austin Thittery lost, but he's been getting some pretty good rub. And obviously Andrade back from his suspension for now. Who knows how long that lasts? But that was a pretty cool match against Akira. I saw some of those moves those guys were pulling out as kind of a throwback NXT type of match, went back and forth.
00:18:26
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, they have been able to go more into just more of a wrestling show than they don't have the capabilities of having the live crowd to do the 20 minute promo in the beginning of the night. I do wish they would go back in like early Superstars episodes from like 94, 95 when the guy would be walking to the ring and somebody else would be like in a smaller screen on the TV, like doing like a little promo,
00:18:54
Speaker
shoot promo on him. That's a cool way to break up the monotony or the silence of not having a crowd there while having some background noise and just kind of continuing a few without having somebody come out on the mic. If you just do straight wrestling, that's why AEW's been pretty good with it. You kind of forget about the lack of a crowd, but when you're trying to do some of the other stuff that needs the crowd participation, it does lose a little bit.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Other than that, I guess now we're going to get McIntyre versus the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank.
AEW & NXT Highlights
00:19:32
Speaker
So this is actually shaping up to be a pretty nice card. I was hoping it was going to be happening because it was going to be here in beautiful downtown Baltimore, but that is not the case. Yeah, it was actually going to
00:19:44
Speaker
Try to convince the wife to actually drive to Baltimore to go see it. I was like, I was like, I know somebody there that we could hang out with and stuff like that, which is pretty because I don't know anyone in Baltimore besides you. And I was like, well, this is perfect. I was like, we should just go. It's like it'll be nice out by that time. Be nice weather. I was like, we'll be bad. We'll be the bad drive.
00:20:05
Speaker
It'll just be like a weekend real quick, and we'll head back. But obviously, we have three or four folks from the Facebook group that are from the area that probably would have gone. So hopefully, once things get back to normal, they'll come back around town. So we'll see. Yeah, definitely.
00:20:20
Speaker
Then we are recording on Thursday, so that means last night was the AW versus NXT battle. Looks like AW won in the ratings for the first time in a couple of weeks. So we'll start off with them. It looks like we have the two leaders or the four guys in the finals for this TNT championship.
00:20:43
Speaker
Cody versus Darby Allen in one side of the bracket and then Dustin Rhodes versus Lance Archer. So looks like we're going to get Archer versus Cody. What was the the whole build up with the the Dustin Rhodes retirement thing? Was he just saying like next time I lose a match? Was he doing the old Ric Flair angle? Yeah, he's doing he's basically saying like if he can't like it was it was that match last night. So he was saying like if he can't he can't be kept
00:21:12
Speaker
He's going to retire. That's what most people should say. If you can't beat Kip Sabian, just retire. Oh, no. So he's from a school where you hear this a lot. If you listen to Arne Anderson's podcast or you listen to Jim Ross or any of those guys, they always say, obviously, you want to put yourself over. And you're against somebody. You want to put them down. But at the same time, you want to put them over. So basically, you're saying,
00:21:39
Speaker
He said, yeah, if I can't beat Kip Sabian, I'm going to retire. At the same time, Kip Sabian's a great athlete. He put him over at the same time, like, hey, he's a young guy. He's great at what he does. He's a great athlete. But if I can't beat him at the same time, I'll retire. It's Kip Sabian. So if I lose, I lose. But at the same time, he's what, 51 now? Yeah, he's up there. So yeah, so he looked pretty good. Obviously, he's moving a lot slower nowadays.
00:22:08
Speaker
I mean, he kept up the pace. I mean, the other cool thing too is they're having, they have Jericho and Tony Schiavone doing a commentary. And, you know, Jericho, he's all for like putting people over and stuff like that. So like throughout the whole show, he's putting everyone over. Like anyone that's in the ring, he's like, you know, he's obviously, he's a heel. So he's like, Kenny Omega is in the ring. He's like, Oh, I hate Kenny Omega. I hate his stupid, his stupid face or whatever. But at the same time, he's putting over his moves, the V trigger. Yeah. So like,
00:22:35
Speaker
They're doing a really good job with having him do that. It works for them. Not that Jim Ross isn't good at all, but having that Monotone Tony Schiavone call the matches and then have Jericho be like the over-the-top Jerry the King Waller, if you want to call it. God, I just shit on everybody. But at the same time, putting people over. That was a really good show. I can see why they beat them in the ratings. Overall, it was a really, really, really good show.
00:23:04
Speaker
How was I detained the whole time? I didn't change the channel once. That's good. We saw Brodie Lee beat a kind of a jobber again for the third or fourth week, and it sounds like he's going to face off against Marco Stunt next week. So hopefully we get a Brodie Lee luchasaurus showdown at the end of that. That would be pretty cool. And then maybe those two can go at it. I mean, that's how you build something for a pay-per-view. Yeah.
00:23:28
Speaker
put him against some actual big-name, bigger-sized talent, that would be the way to do it. And obviously have him go, oh, we have big plans for Brodie Lee. Still hate this stupid outfit he has. Looks like a men on the mission type of purple, black jumpsuit. Whatever. A lot of people like the Orange Cassidy, Jimmy Havoc match. I've heard a lot of people singing the praises of that.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yeah, a lot to be excited about, and like Marco was telling me before the show, looks like they are going to have double or nothing on May 23rd. I don't know where that's going to be, probably wherever they've been holding these dynamite tapings. I don't know if they're going to charge people 50 bucks for this. What do you do, Marco, if you're in this position?
00:24:16
Speaker
I say give it away for free. I think there's only way you can, you know, save face here. I mean, people love to bag on the WWE, but to charge people 50 bucks right now for an event, but at the same time, how are they making money besides this TV deal? Yeah. Either they do it for free or really, really low at a discounted price, maybe $9.99 or something. I don't know. But yeah, I mean,
00:24:42
Speaker
At the same time, like we're, I'm not sure I didn't check like the numbers for WrestleMania, but more people actually buying WrestleMania. Cause if they were selling it on like pay-per-view and they were selling on like fight TV on their app and stuff like that for a price. So like, I'm not sure how that works. It's an obviously WWE is more way more established than any W is now. But like, so they, they can get away with it. But a W I believe they, I think they should be either it should be free on $10. I don't think it should be $49.99.
00:25:13
Speaker
The only reason why it should be $49.99 is to make any money that they're losing right now. I'm assuming from the live shows that they're missing out on. But other than that, yeah, it should be free or $10 in my book, in my eyes, in my own opinion, I should say.
00:25:31
Speaker
Yeah, we'll
Money in the Bank at WWE HQ
00:25:32
Speaker
see. I'm sure we'll have more updates on the card for Double or Nothing as we go forward here. Let's touch real quickly on NXT. You talked about it. We saw Drake Maverick, which they're kind of playing up the fact that he was released last week and now still in this Cruiserweight tournament. Yeah. So it leads me to believe that maybe they have bigger plans for him down the road.
00:25:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:13
Speaker
They really screwed him up as a manager of AOP by having him piss his pants and all that stupid stuff. He redeemed himself with the 24-7 run and some of those vignettes. Hopefully, he is going to stick around. We will see. We saw Kushida and Tony Niesco at it, two guys that I think could use a little more rub and I think Kushida is the guy to really beat in this tournament. Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:26:40
Speaker
We will see there me in action at the debut of El Himo Del Fantasma. You ever heard of this guy? No, not at all. I've heard the name before. Yeah, I was just calling him Fantasma because I wasn't trying to pronounce the other part of his name. You did almost get abducted though by those. Have you seen this on NXT?
00:27:06
Speaker
There's a van that pulls up and tries to abduct people. Yeah. Yeah. What is that about? Yeah, I have no clue. But yeah, he almost got abducted, but he was saved. The other match that was supposed to happen that didn't was Fel Viteen Dream and Finn Balor, which I was looking forward to. I don't know why. I didn't read up on anything on why it didn't happen. He basically no showed. So it ended up being a match with
00:27:37
Speaker
uh velveteen it's supposed to be velveteen and and uh keith lee versus the undisputed era uh something happened to keith lee ue they said that we don't know what happened to him so uh velveteen obviously he wants that title shot against aden kohl so he's going to take any chance he gets to to prove that he can face aden kohl so he uh took on a it was a two-on-one match uh so it was aden kohl and um
00:28:05
Speaker
What do you call him? I don't know if you can see his name. Uh, Roderick Strong. Yeah. Against, uh, Vovitin Dream. So they, obviously they kicked the crap out of him for a majority of the match until Dexter Loomis just appeared on the apron. Just like, just standing there and they're like, what the hell is this guy doing here? And, uh, he just sticks his hand out solely and Vovitin tags him in and then he obviously clean house. And they, I'm not sure what that plan is with Dexter Loomis, but.
00:28:31
Speaker
That dude's got a great look, man. Yeah, he has a stare. I don't want to, obviously, people getting mad. He has that stone cold look. Oh, no, I can see it. Like when he stares at people with the blue eyes, like the piercing, just like that dead stare that he used to give people. I get that from him. But obviously, Dex was a little bit of a different animal when it comes to that stuff. But yeah, that was really entertaining. I really enjoyed that match. And if I were to, you got the pin on Adam Cole.
00:29:00
Speaker
We'll see what happens there, what the story brings with that.
00:29:03
Speaker
Yeah. I think I'm ready for, I mean, undisputed era is kind of run their course. Not that I'm tired of them. I love all those guys. They're freaking all bad-ass wrestlers, but I think I'm ready for them to split or move up to raw or smack down and kind of continue things there with some fresh opponents. I mean, they've, they've been on top of NXT for, I mean, it feels like in today's wrestling, you know, decades, it's probably been like two, two years or so, but it's probably been at least two years, right? I mean,
00:29:34
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. I'm not complaining. They put on some fire matches with whoever they wrestle with, but I would love to see kind of a little bit of a shake up there. I know they're probably trying to keep as many of those big names together in NXT as they can for kind of viewers and stuff, but we'll see what happens there with that.
00:29:52
Speaker
So yeah, pretty good week of wrestling. I will have to go back and watch some of the stuff that I missed, and I got nothing but time to do it, so that'll be good. Let's go outside of the squared circle. This is brought to our good friends at Collar and Elbow. You can check them out at their website. You can use code CHICK for 10% off there. These are honestly the softest freaking shirts that you're ever going to buy.
00:30:14
Speaker
And I know they just sent a care package to Sheena. They didn't send me a care package, but I don't care. I don't need a care package to tell you how great they are. It's a collar and elbow brand. Dot com is the website. And definitely check them out. The shirts are super affordable. I think they're all like less than 20 bucks.
00:30:33
Speaker
They always have some good sales on there. And like I said, with that code check, you get that discount. So make sure you take advantage of that. The biggest thing earlier in the week, it feels like a long time ago, is the money in the bank concept. It sounds like we're gonna have money in the bank from live from Stanford, Connecticut, from the WWE headquarters, the first person to get to the roof of the building.
00:30:57
Speaker
Yeah. And claim, you know, grab the briefcase is the winner.
Personal WWE HQ Stories
00:31:01
Speaker
I love this. And I think this is cool. I don't know if they're going to destroy the hell out of this building because there was rumors that they were moving soon. Yeah, it's been put on obviously because everything that's happening. It's been, I was really that's been put on hold. But yeah, I mean, they might be doing some renovation there, so have at it.
00:31:21
Speaker
Yeah, from what I from what I seen on backstage it seems like there's gonna be a ring at the top of the building But that the ladder is gonna be in the ring So it's still gonna be like they still have to like climb a ladder Technically, which is that's scary as hell. Yeah, like scared of heights you don't have you ever seen the
00:31:42
Speaker
The building in person like actually like drove by it or driven past it several times I've always wanted to go to it, but it's always like a long car ride It's usually when I'm going up to like visit my relatives up in like Rhode Island or Massachusetts and we drive past that Yeah on the way or like, you know, whatever. Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty tall. Yeah, I think we're on our way to the WrestleMania the first WrestleMania New York that they did the New York, New Jersey one
00:32:10
Speaker
We drove past it and we were like, oh, I'll stay in front of it because we had obviously nerds. So I stayed in front of it. And this employee, because it's like the security gate that they drive down into to get to the parking garage area, we're like, stay in front, get ready to take a picture. She just looks at us like the most disgusted look. We're like a bunch of losers, which we were, because we're sitting in front of a building taking a picture. That happens all day, though. People are doing that all the time there.
00:32:40
Speaker
She gave us this look like, come on guys, just get the hell out of here, I gotta go to work. But yeah, I'm super excited about this. When I first seen on SmackDown last week, the week before, I was like, what the hell? I was like, did I see this correctly? So I had to, obviously, I ran a Twitter and went to the WWE's Twitter handle. And sure enough, yeah, it's actually at the corporate office. So you might see Vince pop up.
00:33:09
Speaker
Crash to his office of like it's gonna be
Speculation on SmackDown Hacker
00:33:12
Speaker
pretty cool. I think they're gonna be you'll be surprised at what they're gonna do I think they're gonna have they have some fun little little Easter eggs probably for us as well, so Can't wait
00:33:22
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be fun. I think it'll be cool and we'll see what they do with that. I mean, it's interesting concept and just way to change things up, you know, shit. Yeah. Doesn't have to things to everything that's happened in the ring now. So we still don't know who this hacker is on SmackDown. They've been milking this thing out for, it feels like months now. I'm assuming it's Ali because some of the images they've used, but that seems like it would be too predictable.
Rob Gronkowski's WWE Return
00:33:49
Speaker
So then so I've been reading some things where they think it's two people instead of one. So it's it's obviously it's Ali and the other person that they they're saying it is is a shorty G is the other. So it's two. It's two hackers like a tag team or something. Yeah, like a tag. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. That'd be cool. That'd be both. They both have been gone for what? Like, I'm not even sure how long since like Super Showdown, maybe.
00:34:19
Speaker
You haven't seen them since? Yeah, I have not. I mean, that's cool. I would love to see them do some different shorty G. So, uh, yeah, get rid of that basketball outfit that he has. Um, the other, they have the next thing is, so is this, this might be correct. I'm not sure. I don't think there is. This is an actual thing. So Rob Gronkowski may be the first ever active WWE champion played in the NFL right now.
00:34:47
Speaker
True. I think he'll, he'll definitely be the first ever active 24 seven champion. Yeah. I don't think there's any other active obviously there's been football players that have transitioned to wrestling, but as an active WWE champion, he might be the very first. Yeah. I was thinking what if he, what if he is still, I mean, I'm sure WWE is going to try to milk this for all it's worth and keep that belt, keep that belt around him until ret until week one of the NFL
WWE 2K21 Cancellation
00:35:13
Speaker
season. Oh, you haven't seen the, you haven't seen their tweet about,
00:35:17
Speaker
Oh, no. Yeah, I did. Yeah, maybe he can even lose it on the NFL is not going to go for that. But I mean, maybe like maybe like a cool like they'll let them film something during training camp or, you know, a preseason game where he gets rolled up by by our truth dresses like a popcorn vendor or something.
00:35:35
Speaker
or the or the Super Bowl Tampa Bay makes it to the Super Bowl like it happens during like halftime or something that'd be pretty sick like towards ACL tears ACL doing something stupid yeah I don't know I do I do like all the other memes of like the
00:35:53
Speaker
the the the buccaneer signed seven more uh former patriots and it was like all the referees uh the patriots have you seen the arid it does once oh yeah i wasn't going to touch those yeah we won't say what they are we'll just say
00:36:09
Speaker
You just mentioned it a few of those beats. It sounds like we're not going to get a WWE 2K21 game this year, which I guess makes sense if they're not able to work. You know, movies and TVs are kind of shut down. It would make sense that, you know, you're not going to have the staff to put together a video game.
Triple H's 25th Anniversary
00:36:27
Speaker
So maybe it's maybe it's for the best because 2K20 was panned so much. Maybe they can just go back to the drawing board and just kind of rework this thing. Yeah. Yeah. So apparently I didn't know that. So like the
00:36:38
Speaker
There's those two production companies that worked on WWE 2K. It was, uh, the two case, um, production company as well as Ukes who's been with like WWE forever. They did like all the old Smackdown games and all that stuff. So apparently they split, they left during the production of 2k 20 Ukes. So they weren't even a part of this game at all. Um, that's why I had, that's why all the issues and the bugs and all the craziness I was happening with and stuff like that.
00:37:08
Speaker
So from what I read is there's going to be a game, not this year. They're looking for, obviously, a new company with 2K to make the 2K series. So I think they should try to team up with the NBA 2K people, because those games are obviously super successful.
WWE Stockholder Call Insights
00:37:29
Speaker
But just get those guys and just have them go at it. Because if they're going to do the character models or a WWE game, prepare to be blown away.
00:37:38
Speaker
if it's a 2k like the NBA 2k people working on that yeah that would be cool so yeah if you're hoping for that game this year might have to just grab 2k 20 I hope they've patched that shit up or something we will say I'm sure it's pretty cheap now but
00:37:55
Speaker
We didn't talk about this yet, but we have the 25th anniversary of Triple H's debut with the WWE, which is pretty monumental. I love the picture of him pointing to himself, doing like the NXT point to like an older version of himself. That's definitely a self-awareness 101.
00:38:17
Speaker
Yeah, my guy. He's like, yeah, look at this guy, huh? Yeah, this guy's a real big blue chipper. He's going to be really, really, really big. But yeah, I'm super excited. Obviously, he's going to be like probably one of the greatest shows you ever see on SmackDown. So that's one of the SmackDowns I'm going to watch because I am a Triple H fan. I never really say it that much, but I love Triple H. He's awesome. I know like people think he's a Mark for himself and he
00:38:45
Speaker
Whatever the backstage stuff the clicks F whatever I don't care in ring. He's awesome He's always had really good matches awesome feuds with people For the rocks don't cold John Cena everybody so yeah, I'm super excited for it
00:39:02
Speaker
Our good buddy Lawrence Soto, he messaged me with a cool story about meeting Triple H. I'm trying to find it. Oh yeah, he actually mentioned that on the post that I did for the Retro recommendation. Hey, I can't wait to hear this.
00:39:19
Speaker
So of course I can't find the message, Lawrence, so sorry about that. But he was at a show in Baltimore and I think it was like back around when him and Ric Flair were kind of feuding probably like, you know, 2005 or 2006. And he had to take a piss. There was a long line for the bathroom. He had to go and he was down on the floor seats.
00:39:40
Speaker
So he jumped across like some sort of velvet rope and saw a bathroom and nobody was even guarding the entrance so he goes in there and takes a piss and he's pissing and somebody stands next to him to take a piss and it's Triple H and
WWE Mini-Movies Discussion
00:39:55
Speaker
he just has no words, can't like formulate any words out of his mouth.
00:40:01
Speaker
He's just like, oh, you enjoying the show or see you out there, blah, blah, blah. I don't think Lawrence had anything to say back. He was just dumbfounded, which I can totally attest to that. I've been in that situation before, especially when you don't think you're just in a bathroom. You're not in line to meet somebody where you're prepped to talk to them. It was a pretty cool story of just meeting, taking a piss next to Triple H, one of the most popular guys in wrestling. That's crazy.
00:40:28
Speaker
I would say I probably would have lost my mind as well. Yeah. So that is cool. We talked about Gronk. We talked about no WWE 2K1 21 game. There was a, what was it, like a stockholder conference call today. I'm surprised I didn't get the request. I do own two shares of WWE stock. I'm surprised I didn't get the call to be on this thing. Yeah. That's it. That's surprising. Yeah. They, that's where they mentioned the, the WWE 2K 21 game, not happy
00:40:58
Speaker
happening this year, as well as, um, Fitz McMahon talking about like, uh, he had like a, they have like a press release where you can basically read about like what their plans are going forward. Uh, as far as like a business model for to deal with like COVID-19 and all this stuff. Um, and what they're basically what they're using to sanitize and like, I guess they're using some like sanitizing cleaner that like, like stays to like 90 days.
00:41:25
Speaker
or something like that. Like it's like super powered like cleaning stuff. But the other part that he mentioned too was like for the, obviously for the foreseeable future, you're gonna see a lot more of mini movies as he called them. So a lot more like the fire five fun house, Boneyard type of, type of matches. We did talk about this last week, but Sean Michaels brought this up. He did an interview with the guy that was just released from NXT. If again, he's one of the, he's like an interviewer guy,
00:41:55
Speaker
But the Johnny Gargano Tommaso champion match was the first one that they filmed before the Boneyard and before the Funhouse matches. So that was the first of the mini movie
Sheena Tron 5000 Humor
00:42:06
Speaker
matches. That's why I had that look and feel, because that was supposed to be a part of, that match was supposed to happen, obviously, at TakeOver. So they did that one first, and when they announced that they were going to do all the NXT matches throughout the next couple of weeks after WrestleMania, that was the first of the mini ones.
00:42:24
Speaker
It went that match and they did the boneyard and then they did the fire five foot. Also, um, I'm actually excited about that. Um, they're not going to do it to death. Obviously you're not going to see it. You'll see it. I like the paper views. So you won't, you won't see it on like regular TV a lot. Um, they only put that on regular TV because it was supposed to be a part of like the NXT takeover weekend. It was WrestleMania weekend, but they probably didn't have enough time to fit it. Um, but I'm super upset. Like I said, w w w production is like
00:42:53
Speaker
better than, even Eric Bischoff said himself, like they're better than anything that Holly would have, would have, whatever produce, uh, what they put out. So like, I'm excited to see what they do with like the mini movies as Vince McMahon called them. Hold on the Sheena Tron, 5,000 wants to weigh in. Okay. Sheena, are you there? Oh, she's not working. Oh no.
00:43:23
Speaker
Come on, I gotta find this thing
Dark Side of the Ring: Dino Bravo
00:43:24
Speaker
up. Come on, Schenatron. I had a great segue for you, Schenatron 5000. She must be taking care of her robot kids. The Schenatron 5000 has like little Brett 5000s to take care of. We'll come back to the Schenatron. I don't know what's going on with her. I don't know why that baby laughed so much, it's funny. Just the thought of Schenatron. Yeah, baby robots.
00:43:54
Speaker
All right, so that is our that's everything for outside of the ring there I did want to talk about dark
Go Figure Segment
00:44:00
Speaker
side of the ring. We'll talk about that in our quarantine and chill Let's get into our go figure segment Oh
00:44:18
Speaker
We are back with our Go Figure segment. This is brought to you in part by our friends at Ringside Collectibles. You can use code CHICKOLY for 10% off on their beautiful website. And I just got a delivery from them today, actually, that I wanted to unbox on our Facebook page.
00:44:35
Speaker
Yeah, use that code for 10% off. They are back up and running, and they are a small business. They could use your support, especially if you're not able to go out and do any fig hunting out in the wild. Great place to go. So check them out there,
Wrestling Figure Retrospective Book
00:44:48
Speaker
guys. Mike Lanham is on the line with us. Mike, how are you? I'm good, Phil. How are you today? Not too bad, man. Since you're joining us late, do you want to kick it off? Do you have any purchases or any packages or anything you want to go over?
00:45:04
Speaker
No figures or anything. Uh, I did pick up the, uh, uh, I did the Kickstarter for a thing called the, uh, the wrestling figure retrospective. It was a book. Uh, I'm guessing the guys out of somewhere in the UK, he's been putting it together for about two years and it basically covers, uh, the history of the Hasbro's. So like all the figures, uh, the sketches, what figures got released, didn't get released.
00:45:33
Speaker
different designs, stuff like that. So there's been a couple of books put out in the past like this that usually cover some of the different series and stuff like that. They're usually, I don't know, little magazines, 30, 40, maybe 60 pages total. This book comes in at about 400 pages. So yeah, I was, I was all over this when I saw the announcement. And then the bad thing is it took about two years for it to
00:46:01
Speaker
come to fruition and land on doorsteps. So I don't know if it was just kind of single, single guy just kind of putting it together himself. Obviously can't be easy with everything going on and then having to ship it across the country and stuff like that. But yeah, a lot of people probably felt like they had been scammed out of money as long as it took. But it did finally come in today. I flipped through it a little. I'm really going to sit down and get into it here in the next day or two. But for what I've seen, I'm I was really impressed. So
00:46:31
Speaker
I think he did one big order for all the people who backed it and did early pre-orders. I'm assuming he probably overordered, has a few left to sell, but this might be one of those things once he runs out, they're gone forever.
Ordering from Ringside Collectibles
00:46:47
Speaker
So I'll put the link up on the Facebook page or I'll send it to you Phil and you can post it. And that way if anybody wants to look into it, I want to say it's about 38
00:46:58
Speaker
pounds, I think, is what they've got it listed for. We're talking about the price, right? Not the fucking way. I guess it's going to convert somewhere between probably 40 and 50 bucks American. Don't they use your house over there now? What's a pound plus a euro? Yeah, who knows. The All-American Dollar.
00:47:20
Speaker
I ate cheeseburgers, damn it. Yeah, you can go to their Twitter at www.hazbrobook, and I shot them a DM just saying, congrats that you liked it, and you're going to take some poops and read it in the bathroom, probably, and have a good old time.
Shawn Michaels Figures
00:47:37
Speaker
That's a good coffee table book. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Or after coffee, you never know. So that's a good pickup. They look pretty cool. So it's basically all Hasbros because of? Yeah.
00:47:50
Speaker
Yeah, basically front to back. I mean, it's got some of the series, the stuff that didn't get released. It's got some of the knockoff figures that some of the different countries sold in the dollar stores. It's got a little bit about the Mattel retros, but doesn't really go into very much detail on those since it's really just covering the early 90s. But yeah, for something that's my following for figures, I definitely wanted to
00:48:20
Speaker
to pick this up. And like you were talking about getting your, uh, your order in from ringside this week, that might be the only way a lot of people see figures for a while. Um, especially all these Walmart and stuff, restocking some of these sets from two or three years ago, it seems, uh, if you, if anybody's looking for figures, get online and, and buy from ringside.
WWF-inspired Poetry Book
00:48:44
Speaker
Sure. Good plug. Your company, man, I like that. I like that a lot. There you go. Marco, did you pick anything up this week? Nothing much. For some reason, I received two Shawn Michaels figures, two separate ones. Totally forgot. The Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels, that was the only Ultimate Edition figure that was left out of the collection. So got that. And then the WrestleMania 33 Elite,
00:49:14
Speaker
For some reason, I'd never had it, so I guess I ordered it. I totally forgot, so that's on its way as well. I just got a notification from Amazon. That's where I got it from. It's the only place I could find it. I think it was 20 bucks or something. It was like $19.99. Whereas if you went on eBay, it would be $26 or $30 or $34 or whatever. The other thing too, I mentioned this in our group chat.
00:49:44
Speaker
So this is another book Because I'm a super nerd So there's a guy I follow on on Instagram his name is Jedi Jack Yeti He does a lot of like He has a lot of artwork and stuff like that. So it's a lot of wrestling artwork. He does a lot of like those like holographic stickers And he does physical prints of these things. So if you guys get a chance definitely Go to his IG page and take a look. They're really awesome. I has like a
00:50:14
Speaker
Andre the Giant one, he has Bartraman, Stang, a whole bunch of other ones. But he has, I'll scroll through his shop, and he has this book called Warzone 97, and it's a poetry, illustrative book based on the World Wrestling Federation in 1997. What? What is this? Yeah. How did you, where did you see, I gotta follow this guy on Instagram, clearly.
00:50:41
Speaker
Yeah, so well, so he has it. So I follow him on Instagram and I like all the artwork and stuff. Um, he was like Rick flair and all this stuff. So he has this, he has a link to his, um, his shop page and it's, uh, it's called the, it's Jedi Jack, Eddie dot big cartel.com. And he has all the stickers on there and you can order the prints of the stickers. But then if you go to the second page, there's a book, it's a poetry book with, it's an illustrative poetry book about WWF at 97.
00:51:09
Speaker
And it looks pretty cool, actually. It's if you go on it right now and take a look, it's actually pretty awesome. Actually, I was supposed to link to the group chat so you can see it. Did the guy write everything or is it like fan submissions and it's a collaborative book? Yeah, it's a collaborative book, like having some illustrators and stuff like that. So, yeah, definitely, definitely take a look at that. It's it's it's pretty cool. It's four bucks. It wasn't like a super expensive thing.
00:51:37
Speaker
Yes, how about the how about the how about the small businesses as much as he can nowadays?
Non-Wrestling Purchases
00:51:43
Speaker
I just I just threw the link up in the chat there so you could go right to But yeah, you can check out all the other stickers and stuff like that. But yeah, he's I'm not sure he's affiliated with but his artwork's pretty pretty damn awesome if you go around on his IG page, so Not really a shout out but I was impressed by the the idea of a book like that is
00:52:08
Speaker
pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before in my life. Poetry based on WWF attitude era 97. I love it. I love that weird kind of stuff like that. And that's cool. The genius was ahead of his time with the poetry. There you go.
00:52:25
Speaker
I got some non-wrestling stuff I picked up at snowjo.com. I got some sweet N95 masks, which seems funny, but in my state now you're required to wear them if you go out anywhere.
00:52:44
Speaker
I think they're the N95 or whatever. I forget what they're called. But if you need masks and stuff, this is not the funnest topic to talk about. But if we're going out to the grocery store, you want to stay safe, that's what I'm buying these days. I also found a website called Beer Me, B-I-E-R-M-I, and they will do local beer deliveries
00:53:07
Speaker
Uh, from breweries near you, uh, within like a 20 or 30 mile radius. And, uh, I've been ordering a lot of beer through there, supporting some, some of my local breweries, trying to get them to sponsor the goddamn podcast and get some free beer. But, uh, I know Massachusetts is on there. Uh, I know you don't drink right now, Mike, so you're not interested, but maybe if you, uh,
00:53:27
Speaker
If you do start drinking, you can. But I think they're in like 20 different states. And it's like a $5 delivery fee. It's nothing crazy. It's kind of basically like an Uber for beer. They just like, someone from the brewery delivers it to you. But a pretty cool website. So check it out, B-I-E-R-M-I, if you're a craft beer drinker and you don't feel like going out of the house.
Facebook Group Live Sales
00:53:49
Speaker
And a lot of the breweries are closed anyway. So you have to just do carry out or pick up.
00:53:53
Speaker
It's kind of worth it if you just want to have beer brought right to your house I do want to talk about Some another one of our new members has still toy One of my favorite follows off of Instagram. I do die by I bought quite a few Metra Hasbro is from
00:54:12
Speaker
is now part of our Facebook group, guys. And he's going to do some live video sales, obviously. He has a brick and mortar store up in New Jersey, I think it is, or New York, I'm sorry. But he's been closed down because of the quarantine, and he's looking to sell some figures. We've got a bunch of hungry people with stimulus checks that want to buy stuff. So he's going to do some live video chats in our Facebook group and sell some stuff exclusively
00:54:38
Speaker
exclusively to our group.
Ringside Collectibles Review
00:54:40
Speaker
So just another benefit to being part of the Foley family. We're doing those live sales. You don't have to leave your couch. You can just set up and jump in and buy some figures right there with us. So that's pretty cool. I wanted to give him a shout out and you guys can follow him on Instagram.
00:54:55
Speaker
I did pick up a Shawn Michaels WrestleMania elite from the boyhood dream that they actually the match that we did a watch long on. I don't have that figure, so I needed to pick that up. So our buddy James Kilka from the Facebook group sold me that figure. I'm gonna unbox that soon.
00:55:16
Speaker
And like I said, I got a delivery from Ringside Collectibles. So this is kind of important. They had that big sale over Easter holiday, and I think I ordered on the 11th, which was a Saturday. So I'm assuming they didn't get the order until Monday the 13th. So with everything going on in the world today, I was expecting a pretty lengthy delay in shipping.
00:55:36
Speaker
but it shipped down I think it was Tuesday so like a you know maybe eight days after the order went in and I got it today so the turnaround time has been pretty quick so I mean I'm sure with the the Easter sale they had a bunch of orders going out so you know probably be even quicker than that going forward so
00:55:54
Speaker
you know maybe not not a two-day turnaround like uh... like some other websites like amazon but uh... you know you're you get what you pay for you get figures that are there nicely packaged and uh... at a good price and did their reputable site so uh... if you're worried about ordering from ringside collectibles don't they

Quarantine Entertainment Suggestions
00:57:44
Speaker
All right. Should we move into our quarantine and chill segment? I think that's all we had for weekly purchases.
00:57:50
Speaker
There wasn't too much figure news going on. The news of our buddies from the major wrestling figure podcast getting let go from the WWE. It sounds like their edge head figures are still on from ringside, which is cool. And they have Chris Jericho on their podcast this week, which is really cool because they were never able to really talk about AEW or get in depth with any of their figures. So that was a pretty cool interview if you're not
00:58:17
Speaker
Patreon subscriber that'll drop tomorrow so Get some feedback from one of you guys Sounds like you're calling into a sports talk radio station But yeah, and I'm hoping some of their figures they can actually use their faces now on those ringside collectible Exclusives from the the major brothers, but they got a bunch of cool stuff in the works I'm excited to see what they're gonna do now They have like 24 hours a day to dedicate to their podcast because that'll be pretty fun
00:58:49
Speaker
Let's get into our quarantine and chill segment. We still need a sponsor for this. We need like Netflix or Hulu to step up and sponsor us here. So Marco, put that on your to-do list, please. Oh yeah, definitely. No doubt. What do you guys watch? What should the people watch this weekend? You want to go first, Mike? Or you want me to set it off? You can start, Marco. So we have a couple.
00:59:19
Speaker
If non-wrestling related, by the way, for these ones. On Netflix, you have Ozark, if you haven't watched that yet. That was a wife's recommendation. She started watching it with Elby, which is a no-no in a relationship. But she said, we can go back and start watching the- Oh, that's love. That's love right there. She'll go back and let you watch. Yeah, she's like, I'll go back and watch the first season with you. I was like, all right, cool.
00:59:48
Speaker
The second one is Schitt's Creek. So Ozark is more of like a thriller slash drama type of show. Schitt's Creek is more of a comedy. It's Eugene Levy. I'm not sure if you guys even heard of the show at all. It's one of the- It's fucking hilarious, yes. Yeah, no, so yeah, it's one of the, yeah, it's a funny show. So definitely, definitely, that's not gonna be, if you wanna laugh, obviously, through these hard times, you wanna definitely pick that show. Other than that, it's pretty much it.
01:00:17
Speaker
on my end, yeah, I'm trying to give you some non-wrestling stuff to watch during your quarantine and chill. I like it. Yeah, that's cool. Those are both good shows.
01:00:29
Speaker
I would say Ozark is not up to the level of Breaking Bad, but it's, it's pretty close. It's like also one of those shows like, I just finished the third season. It's almost like they get into one situation and then it leads into one other situation. And it's like, almost like the anxiety of like, Oh my God, like nothing good is happening ever in this show. It's hard to watch like, you know, five episodes in a row, but it's a really good show. Mike, uh, what do you, what do you got for quarantine and chill?
01:00:56
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Ozarks, uh, I've watched the first two seasons. I haven't started the third, so I definitely got to catch up on that because I'm hearing a lot of people talk about the season online and I'm like, yeah, I got to stay away before something gets, uh, get spoiled. Uh, I'm catching up on, uh, uh, Westworld right now they're in their third season, just announced their fourth season's going to happen. Uh, obviously might, might be a while before they get to, to taping and stuff like that.
01:01:25
Speaker
Um, that's on HBO. And then, uh, uh, I started this, uh, Waco limited series. That's also on Netflix. It has, uh, the younger girl from Ozarks on it. Um, it's like a limited series based off the, uh, uh, it's based off the Waco Texas stuff that happened. Um, so yeah, they, they added that a couple of days ago and there's, there's quite a few people.
01:01:53
Speaker
you'll see faces and stuff in the show that you'll recognize from other TV shows and movies. So it's not just like a, just a random cast or anything like that. So, but beyond that, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm just trying to catch up a little at a time. Cause I'm still working most days. So having had a lot of time there, just sit down and watch a lot of stuff outside of, of wrestling and pretty much Westworld right now. Cause that show requires all my attention. Cause there's too much going on.
01:02:21
Speaker
too many people dying coming back to life and I'm like, are they real or not real? Yeah. Who's who? Who's
Introducing Kids to Star Wars
01:02:28
Speaker
real? What year is it? Yeah, it's very confusing.
01:02:32
Speaker
It's cool to have a show that makes you think, but sometimes in today's age, if you look down at your phone a lot during TV shows, you can't watch Westworld. You have to be on the edge of your seat. I have been playing a lot of Madden lately. I started back in Madden 19, so it's not the newest version, but just running back a season with the Ravens and just squeeze it in. My wife was working downstairs today, and I was like, something happened. She's like, hey, what happened? I was like, oh, I've fumbled.
01:03:08
Speaker
Are you on PlayStation? Marco's an Xbox guy I'm pretty sure.
01:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, we have to get on and play together, Phil, at some point. Yeah, you'll probably crush me, but I'll play. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, you never know. And I wanted to ask you guys a question. I think one of you have never seen Star Wars. Have you guys, is that correct? Has one of you never watched any Star Wars movies? No, I've watched all the Star Wars movies. It's me. Okay, I knew it. I've seen the first one and I've seen bits and pieces, but I've never sat down and watched all of them.
01:03:47
Speaker
I'm tempted to let my son start watching him. I'm obviously going to skip the Anakin ones because they were just awful. But I'm thinking he's ready. I mean, he's only five.
Kids' Shows Discussion
01:03:57
Speaker
But based on some of the stuff he watches, I don't think it's as violent as watching wrestling or there's no blood or anything. But what do you guys think about letting my five-year-old watch Star Wars this weekend? Do you think it would be entertained? Do you think it would get it?
01:04:17
Speaker
there's some I mean he's he's gonna like the like characters and like the monster stuff and then the lightsaber battles I don't know that he'll keep the attention for storylines and stuff like that the action stuff I think he'll enjoy but
01:04:33
Speaker
how much attention can you keep for a kid that age yeah i don't think he'd like the detailed love story between Han Solo and Leia really i mean he might pick up on it you never know dad is that his sister we'll see i think that the first one doesn't have as much action as Empire Strikes Back but we'll see we'll see if he can keep his interest so i'm just trying to find fill the days with something you know and now he's started to watch like
01:05:00
Speaker
I mean, usually he's okay with, you know, pick some normal, and we watch that big, the big, big show show on, or it's the big, is it the big, big show show? The big show show. Oh, the big show, yeah, it's not the big, big show show. Yeah, it's the big show show. It's basically like, like full house, but like, you know, what the wrestler is, like the main character. He loves it. I mean, it's like stupid, like canned laughter. It's just like a sitcom.
01:05:24
Speaker
But then he started watching Power Rangers on Netflix, and I cannot stand anything Power Rangers. Even as a kid, I freaking hated it. I just don't like the lip dubs over it. It's basically like the same show. All the action sequences are basically copied and pasted into every single episode. But of course, for a five-year-old, it's just ninjas fighting or something. The greatest thing, right?
01:05:53
Speaker
Did anybody watch the the other WWE? Like movie they put up. Oh, no The main event several times now. Okay. Yes Perfect your kids. Well, your kids might be a little bit too young but it's it's perfect for my son Fred I say I assume that was right up the alley for your son. So yeah, no watching watching frozen all day Watching
01:06:21
Speaker
Frozen 1 or Frozen 2? Both. Back to back or all the time or on repeat or... Yep. Yeah, you get girls. That's what I keep hearing about Onward being on Disney Plus. They're like, it's emotional, but you should watch it. It is good. It is good.
Dark Side of the Ring: Dino Bravo Crime
01:06:37
Speaker
I mean, I cried like a... I mean, I was just like...
01:06:42
Speaker
but I don't even know why, but it was good. So yeah, if you guys listening have any good quarantine and chill recommendations, I do want to play some Zoom beer pong with the neighbors. Nobody wants to set up a laptop or something. It's just like the weekends are just so like,
01:07:01
Speaker
I mean, me and Mike recorded that Patreon episode on Sunday, and we had finally gotten sick of just being stuck in the house, so I made some margaritas for myself and my wife and the neighbors, and that did not go well. I mean, it was just all out, just drunk. I somehow stopped myself, because I knew we were going to record the podcast, and I wanted to be sober. My wife got home and fell asleep in the bathroom, and my son's like, what's she doing, Daddy? I was like, oh, she's just tired.
01:07:31
Speaker
So, you know It is what it is. Oh, we didn't talk about the the newest episode of the dark side of the ring the assassination of Dino Bravo What'd you guys think of this? Yeah Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, they said anything without mafia Involvement I'm all for
Strategic Story Choices in Series
01:07:50
Speaker
it. I didn't know that whole backstory of Dino Bravo. I mean I should have noticed by the name that he was out that they're pretty much Italian like in that part of a
01:08:01
Speaker
Canada and stuff like that. So yeah, like just doing about him running his own promotion and how big he was up there and The story of uh, they were in his promotion was in a workout and deal with with our WWF at the time and he was gonna have a match right at Hulk Hogan but in fears that you know Hulk Hogan was gonna get booed out of the building essentially they didn't fall through but it probably would have been one of the biggest matches back then because I
01:08:30
Speaker
you know, Bravo was pretty much as big as Hulk Hogan was in Canada as Hulk Hogan was in America. And then it's like, you know, hearing all the stories about like, you know, him getting old and like him not being able to move the way he was and like, just like the decline of the typical like wrestler back then and stuff like that. And just finding out what he did after like, basically became like a, a, a muscle for a, for a mafia family.
01:08:59
Speaker
which is pretty intense. I mean, you see Dean O'Bravo walking towards you asking for money that you owe me. I think you're going to give it up. I would anyway, in my eyes. But yeah, that was pretty interesting. Did you guys know the story of him? Like how he died and all that stuff already? Or was this something new to you?
01:09:21
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was part of a episode of something to wrestle with when he talked about it a little bit. I don't remember what the topic was. I don't think the whole episode was about Dino Bravo, but I knew some of the background of what he got tied into. So it was definitely an interesting story, but I feel like it wasn't anything I didn't know about it. The same thing with the Snooka episode. So they were both so well done. The one thing that was shocking to me, Mike, did you watch it the other night, Tuesday night?
01:09:50
Speaker
I have not, I have not watched this newest one yet. Okay. The Mountie is in this thing and I did not even recognize him at all. That's right. The Mountie. He just like is totally bald and like, you know, looks like a totally different guy. So yeah, I mean, I think, I think this series knows like, obviously they know what they're doing. They bookended the season with starting with Ben Wall and they're going to end with Owen Hart. So they have your attention for the whole season, regardless of what your, your subjects are talking about.
Upcoming Road Warriors Episode
01:10:19
Speaker
Um, obviously all these stories are interesting and wrestling fans and stuff, uh, who are really into it are going to want to know what's going on. But yeah, your, your real focus is that first episode and that, and that last one. Okay. I can't wait for the, uh, the road warriors. That's going to be, that's going to be a good one, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you say Dino Bravo. Yeah. Like as a kid, I just can't, I remember Dino Bravo being around and it was like, he would like fight ultimate warrior every once in a while. And like you said, Hulk Hogan, but he was really just.
01:10:48
Speaker
he was around Bobby Heenan, he was around Andre the Giant, but I don't really remember him ever getting much of a push on American TV, but like you said, when you're in Canada and stuff like that, he was probably a huge deal.
Dino Bravo's Wrestling Career
01:11:02
Speaker
They just didn't show that on TV very much. That was probably more house shows and stuff like that.
01:11:08
Speaker
All right, let's get into our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. This is brought to you by ProWrestlingTees.com. Oops, I missed one, let's go to random merch of the week. I was just talking, I'm sorry, I've been distracted. One of our buddies in our Facebook group bought an entire case of the WWE Mattel flashbacks with Harley Race. And I just bought the stone cold from him for $28 shipped,
01:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's a great great figure too. I'm sure he's awesome deal He's trying to just recoup some of the money back cuz I'm sure he just wanted the Harley from that case But I get you were saying there's a bunch of people posting these cases. I guess they're from Canada, right Mike Yeah, it seems like a guy I guess came across a bunch in a warehouse or something. Yeah in Canada and has been posting them I guess one at a time on
01:12:03
Speaker
on eBay over the last couple of weeks. So yeah, obviously people are spending, I don't, I don't know what the guy on our Facebook group spent, but I'm imagining probably 500 or so dollars for, for eight figures. And obviously that Harley race, uh, men on car, it's going to carry a pretty good chunk of that. And you can sell the other seven figures offer if you, if you need it.
01:12:25
Speaker
that Jake Roberts or that Austin or that steamboat for your collection. And then you can part with the rest of them. Yeah. You make some of your money back and maybe it comes out to a pretty good deal. Cause just trying to find a Harley race right now by itself is pretty impossible. And you're going to spend a good chunk of change anyways. And I think really the only difference is some of the wording on the box kind of like video games and DVDs. When they come from Canada, they usually have the English and the like French, uh,
01:12:54
Speaker
wording on the box, but other than that, same figure, same design and stuff, and carries the same value pretty much. Yeah, I've been following, I think someone in another group, I was purchased one, so I was kind of curious as to what the price was for the guy that was actually selling that just box. Yeah, it's pretty expensive. We'll say that much. It's definitely above $500, we'll say that much.
01:13:20
Speaker
Yeah, I wonder if the first few went for a little bit less, or if they've all gone for the same, or now that more people know these boxes exist, how quickly they're going to... Yeah, because it wouldn't matter if that figure flooded the market for a little while. It's going to keep that value because of how sought after it still is to this day.
01:13:42
Speaker
Yeah, make sense if you're gonna spend two or three hundred dollars on the on the Harley you might as well spend four or five hundred and get eight figures and make your money back.
Random Merch of the Week
01:13:52
Speaker
It's easy to say and it's not as easy to pony up the money. Uncle Sam took care of that for some people so that's good.
01:14:01
Speaker
Uh, let's see. Okay. I want to do our retro wrestling. No, I keep messing this up. What's wrong? Random merch of the week. They both start with ours. Yeah, this is a big one here. Random merch of the week brought to you in part by Manscaped or whoever. Uh, Triple H commemorative belt for this 25th anniversary. I like that they're doing these, these belts are pretty cool. I'm never going to be a belt collector. I just don't.
01:14:26
Speaker
It's just not a thing that I would want to do but I can appreciate the coolness of these and this is a This is a really cool looking belt Yeah, there's a lot of mixed reviews on this one. Like I said, I'm biased because I'm a triple H fan So I actually like the design I like the belt design everything a lot of people complaining that like the shape of the like the like the main plate of the belt since it's circular it's based off of the the new winged eagle and it has like kind of like a square and
01:14:54
Speaker
weather strapping that it kind of like throws it off a little bit, but if you you know triple ages like Symbol and what all that stuff is like the the throne and all that stuff and that's what it is I think it'd be where to put a square plate in the middle of a belt personally But I like it I mean they just release the rocks a belt to the the one that they never actually came out with They really sound like it like last week or the week before
01:15:24
Speaker
But yeah, I enjoy it. I like it.
01:15:26
Speaker
I don't hate it at all. Yeah, it's the back of it. I mean, the the the the leather in the middle looks kind of like his like logo, Mike, that is on his like trunks usually. So I think it's pretty cool. I mean, I don't you don't have the like the WWF logo on it. That's the only thing that people are kind of bugged about. It's like, you know, it's kind of the redone logos, but the W.F.
Retro Match Recommendation
01:15:51
Speaker
A lot of those belts are like that. There are a lot of the newer belts. They have the WWE. It's at the WWF.
01:15:56
Speaker
Those ones will be hard to find. You'd have to like really. Like scour the lands to like find those WWF logo belts, but it is what it is. It's a new word. It's a newer belt, so it's never you've never seen that belt before. So why would anyone complain that doesn't say WWF on it? That's right. Yeah, I think your point. Yeah, I think for this one like you almost had to do the different design kind of like they did the like you said the rocks and the undertakers, because like the Brett and the.
01:16:26
Speaker
What else do they do? Sean and Hogan? Like those guys all have like iconic like colors. Yeah. You do the winged eagle and then they all had like their, their color like Brett with the pink and stuff like that. Triple H you really couldn't have done that unless you did like green and black. And then everybody would have been like, well, it's a DX belt. It's not a triple H belt. So I kind of, I like the idea of doing this, like more of his symbol type design instead of just doing here's the winged eagle or here's
01:16:54
Speaker
the title from his era and just doing like his logo somewhere on it. You actually did like the strap and the leather and stuff in like a different design. So yeah, I do like kind of the look of it. It's different. And if you're a belt collector, it's cool to have something like that.
01:17:10
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I do love, I think Kenny in our group is a big belt guy and he has an awesome collection. So, you know, it's to each his own, man. I mean, everybody collects something different. People probably think my collection of Kurt Angle stuff is stupid. You never know. You know, it's all about what you like, so... Cheer.
01:17:30
Speaker
Yeah, our retro wrestling recommendation of the week is here. It's recommended by one of our Foley family members, Raymond Manzi. And this is a match I need to go back and watch. It's been quite a long time. Triple H versus The Rock, a ladder match for the Intercontinental title from SummerSlam 98. Love it. Yeah, that whole car was pretty ridiculous if you actually go back. The main event after that was Stone Cold versus
01:17:59
Speaker
The Undertaker for the WWF Championship at the time. Yeah, I actually went back and I didn't watch
Triple H Match Commentary
01:18:08
Speaker
the whole match. I just like skim through it because I really didn't remember it. It's actually a really good match and it's like you get to see like it's 98. So it's like they're not obviously the main event guys that they are yet. So you get to see like the beginning stages of Triple H and The Rock going back and forth.
01:18:25
Speaker
Spoil alert. Triple H wins. If he, if he didn't know that, I feel like you say that. I've been busy. Yeah. It's more than 20 minutes. Um, if you didn't know that as well, it's a triple H match. All those matches are more than 20 minutes. Do the, do the, uh, that's a staple at all. Triple matches, triple ages matches. That's like, that's the, uh, like the highway to hell.
01:18:54
Speaker
build up pay-per-view, right? Awesome. Okay. Which, which also was in Madison Square Garden. So I'm sure there was a lot of like buildup of, Hey, this ladder match also happened at WrestleMania 10 at the same, at the same building. Yeah. So yeah, definitely. It's been a while since I've seen that match. So I definitely have to go back in and watch that too. Yeah. You also get a mankind versus the new age outlaws as well. And a tag team title match, which is I'm not sure what I've
01:19:22
Speaker
totally forget the story line and what happened there. I'm assuming he's supposed to have a partner or no one ever showed up or something like that. So I think they threw him into a dumpster and then the next night we saw chainsaw Charlie.
Wrestlers of the Attitude Era
01:19:35
Speaker
If I'm remembering that correctly, it's been quite a while.
01:19:43
Speaker
That's funny, but it was cool that you know the top three matches you have obviously Stone Cold Undertaker in the main event Triple H the rock and mankind You know this that's you know the five guys that really defined the attitude era for me. So yeah, yeah
01:19:59
Speaker
Should we get into this quarantine house situation that we've got up on our Facebook page? Because people, our buddy Zach Egloff put it onto, I said his name wrong last week and he gave me shit. Say that last name again. Egloff, Egloff, Egloff. Egon. Egon. Egon. Egon. Egon. Egon. Egon.
01:20:27
Speaker
Zach Egon could do Ghostbusters thing. So yeah, we made some quarantine houses and we asked people to pick which house they would want to live in. I don't know if you guys wait in, but I'm going to read off the houses row here real quick. This is on our Twitter and our Facebook page if you want to. So we had the Golden Era, which was Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Jake the Snake, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, and Miss Elizabeth.
01:20:53
Speaker
We had Ruthless Aggression, which was John Cena, Randy Orton, JBL, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Lita. The New Generation, which was Bret the Hitman Hart, HBK, Razor Ramon, Lex Lugar, Yoko Zuna, and Sunny.
01:21:14
Speaker
Attitude Era, the guys we just mentioned, Stone Cold Rocks, Triple H, Undertaker, Mick Foley, and Trish Stratus.
Golden Era Wrestlers Quarantine House
01:21:22
Speaker
And the current PG era, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, The Miz, and Becky Lynch. So I'll start with you, Marco. Which house are you living in for quarantine and why? That was a tough one. I had to take some time to, you know,
01:21:44
Speaker
think about it, but I'm gonna go golden era. Big Macho Man fan. I love Macho Man. I think it'd be cool to hang out with the Hulkster and hang out with Macho Man and miss Elizabeth, not go near her because obviously I don't want any problems with Macho Man.
01:22:08
Speaker
You would you would have to do cocaine. If you if you if you move into this house, you'd have to take up cocaine. And I mean, I mean, it's so I mean, I'm not going to say I would or wouldn't. But no, but I was forced. I mean, they probably forced me to do it. So, you know, I think they would have some damn good stories. I mean, that's what I mean. Yeah. So yeah, you get those guys together and like just telling stories about like
01:22:37
Speaker
80s would you be would be really awesome? I'm just like here and all that that crazy stuff here stores about fencing man the crazy stuff he did Yeah, they're the 80s would be pretty awesome. They have also it just said see this Elizabeth the first the first lady The first lady of the WWE. Yeah, man. She's the first lady of wrestling So I just think if you could talk to her I'm not sure like I said, I'm not sure the parameters that's probably gonna be rules of that house Probably not look at Elizabeth or walk
01:23:05
Speaker
like 60 or there might be that type of stuff. But just to hear stories from Elizabeth, they'd be pretty awesome too as well. And drinking, and drinking beers with, um, with Andre the giant, you know? Yeah. Yeah. He did drink me under the table. Yeah. This here are trying to figure out what he's saying would be pretty cool as well. I do a drinking game, trying to figure out what Andre is saying. And every time you don't understand what he's saying, you have to take a shot, which would be pretty awesome. So yeah, no, definitely golden era. What about you, Mike?
01:23:36
Speaker
Yeah, it's a hard choice. Uh, I mean, really looking at it, I would think, uh, just for my age and, and what I was into as a kid, I'm, I'm thinking new generation. Uh, I kind of feel like I would be the most entertained there just between, uh, the Brett HBK and the, and the sunny drama that would probably be going on in the house. And then, uh, it would be cool to hang out with razor Ramon, uh, and then whatever Lex Luger and Yoko Zunner are doing, I guess.
01:24:06
Speaker
uh... but yeah i mean that that's that's my childhood or are those wrestlers so for the for the most part of the lake that's probably the house that i would uh...
Attitude Era Quarantine House
01:24:14
Speaker
fill the most comfortable in we all different answers are that the bad thing about both your house is yoko and andre are gonna like go through the rations of food pretty pretty quickly uh... so that might put a damper on things uh... i'm gonna go with the attitude erin and uh... i mean i just
01:24:32
Speaker
I love everybody in this group. For me, Trish Stratus is the hottest one of all the ladies in this. I'd be able to look at her and be able to drink beers at Stone Cold and talk shit with The Rock and all these guys. I feel like they all get along pretty well, I feel like. There's maybe some professional rivalry here and there, but Mike's going to have to deal with the Bret Hart and H.P.K. and Sonny drama.
01:24:57
Speaker
and Marco, you're going to have to deal with the mega powers exploding and all that stuff. I think there's no wrong answer here, but I'm going to go out here. I want to hear from you guys. If you haven't weighed in yet, go to Facebook or Twitter and find the tweet or the post about this. It's a pretty cool conversation.
01:25:18
Speaker
Yeah, let's see where we are here. We did a retro-restimendation here. Me and Mike and Marco are going to record our first episode of Raw 1996. I'm trying to think of a good name for
Monday Night Raw Review Plans
01:25:32
Speaker
this. Raw Review is just kind of boring, but that's what we'll call it for now. We're doing the January 1st, 1996 episode of Monday Night Raw for the first ever, the first and last ever, Raw Bowl. The old Raw Bowl.
01:25:47
Speaker
So if you like football puns, you better watch this because there's a lot. So yeah, you guys are quiet over there. So I'm just going to say, I mean, it's it's it's not what we'll get into it on the show. But it's not it's not it's not a yeah, it's not a two or three hour roll. It's it's 45 minutes. It's on your network and it's going to be the very first roll.
01:26:10
Speaker
of 96. It should be pretty easy to get to. But yeah, like Phil said, if you're not into football, you're probably going to want to stab your ear drums out five minutes into the show.
01:26:25
Speaker
Yeah, we will discuss. You got Peake Vince McMahon here on commentary, but you can hit us up on Twitter and Facebook. We love to hear from you guys. We love to interact with you. It's ask at chickfolishow.com.
Live Zoom Trivia Announcement
01:26:40
Speaker
Again, just a reminder for our Foley family members.
01:26:44
Speaker
On Tuesday the 28th, next week, we're going to be doing our first ever live Zoom wrestling trivia on our Facebook page. So if you want to be part of that, definitely come by and hang out. Got some cool prizes for that. We've got a bunch of cool stuff in the works over the next couple of weeks for some bonus episodes. So I'm looking forward to that stuff. And next week, I guess we're just going to talk more about Double or Nothing and Money in the Bank as they get closer here.
01:27:12
Speaker
And hopefully, you know, it's day to day, so hopefully we still have wrestling. It seems like everything is good to go now that we've seen that wrestling is deemed essential, at least in Florida. So that's good. That's where both shows are emanating from, both companies. So they can't be mad at one another right now. They're both helping each other out. So yeah, good show, guys. Anything else you want to add before we get the hell out of here?
01:27:41
Speaker
Now you were mentioning doing some extra episodes and stuff and like you said me and you recorded one this week you were gonna ask Marco his thoughts on our draft picks without spoiling the show since we haven't really gone into details since it's up on Patreon right now.
01:28:05
Speaker
Marco, what'd you think? Oh, man. I don't want to choose. That's a hard choice right there. I don't want to give away spoilers, though.
01:28:14
Speaker
about the show, so how do I pick with them? Just overall, who do you think had the best roster? I mean, we have a lot of the similar guys, like the top guys, obviously, because there's multiple, there's multiple Hogans, there's multiple Macho Mans, there's multiple Warriors, we all, multiple Shawn Michaels, multiple Bret Hart, so you know we all, we both drafted those guys, but overall for where we got value at and picks, who do you think won?
01:28:41
Speaker
All right, I mean if I have to choose and put it I'll go with Phil Without without saying anything and I'll say anything else. Okay, I'll keep it. I'll keep it Keep it plan this out
01:28:55
Speaker
They'll plan this out before I get on the phone. Yeah, we were playing this for months. But it doesn't, the draft is just a short, short part of this. I mean, we got to see how we do for, uh, for drafting or putting together a WrestleMania card. I got a bomb ass main event coming up, so I'm ready for that.
01:29:14
Speaker
Yeah, check it out, guys. And we appreciate you listening every single week. We love you guys. Our listeners are the best part of what we do here. So thank you so much. So for Marco and Mike, Sheena, hopefully we'll be back with us next week. We will talk to you guys later. Stay classy, Marx.
