To be the man, you gotta beat the man. And fortunately, that's what Nia Jax did on Raw.
Introduction and Weekly Wrestling Highlights
00:00:19
Speaker
Welcome to Chick Foley Show. We're here in the Jimmy's Famous Seafood Studios. I'm here with Sheena Phelps. What's going on, Sheena? Crazy Week?
Survivor Series Excitement
00:00:29
Speaker
Crazy, crazy week. Yeah, crazy week in wrestling, crazy week in the life of Chick Foley. So it's been interesting. But yeah, I'm pumped for Survivor Series. How about you?
00:00:38
Speaker
I'm less pumped now that one of my favorite wrestlers isn't there, but I think it's going to be a pretty good show. Yeah, it's a stacked card. I was looking at just everything today, and I was like, my God, this show is going to be long. It will, yeah,
Show Agenda and Listener Interaction
00:00:52
Speaker
but it's going to be cool. And we have a really jam-packed show here. I'm excited to talk about some of the recaps from Raw on SmackDown. We're going to preview Survivor Series, of course. We'll talk about some of our weekly figure purchases that we've made.
00:01:07
Speaker

00:01:49
Speaker
love. We have a bunch of people that are really digging us. Sheena, I got a lot of good feedback from that last episode. We did basically a figure collecting 101 episode that's in the archives and you can listen to that anytime. And I learned a lot of stuff from you. So it was pretty cool. It was cool.
Survivor Series Developments
00:02:06
Speaker
So let's get into some stuff on the inside of the squared circle. I think this week,
00:02:11
Speaker
Like I was saying a little bit earlier, not a whole lot developed and we had some, the things that did develop were huge, but everything was just kind of getting set up for, you know, Survivor Series and locking everything down for that. So what was your, what was your favorite takeaway from this week?
00:02:29
Speaker
My favorite takeaway is that Hulu has Raw loaded up there on the next day on Tuesdays, and it's only an hour and a half long, which is great. It cuts out all the BS. Oh, it's the best. It's the best. If you are a parent or a busy person and you do not have Hulu and you love wrestling,
00:02:47
Speaker
Get Hulu because it cuts out the fluff. I mean you miss some backstage segments and stuff, but nothing you can't get caught up on But yeah Hulu is this is yeah, the only bad thing. I don't know if it was just this episode I don't know what I missed if I miss some matches, but it was basically five straight in-ring promos back to back to back to back between Ashley and Lesnar and all these guys and it just kind of obviously was setting up for Survivor Series, but we didn't see much as far as in-ring action and
Women's Wrestling Evolution
00:03:15
Speaker
Yeah. So the biggest thing, you know, on raw was obviously the, the women's invasion, uh, the women's Smackdown invasion, which was, you know, bled up by our, our girl Becky, the man. I mean, it was.
00:03:27
Speaker
straight fire. I mean just to take Becky's phrase it was straight fire. I mean we saw it at first with Becky having Rhonda in the arm bar in the locker room and I was already like oh my gosh and then when everyone was out in the ring and all of a sudden Becky comes out and just starts demolishing like it was insane.
00:03:47
Speaker
Yeah, it was a pretty awesome site and it was probably one of the most iconic moments in Raw over the last couple years. I mean, the crowd was super hype and, you know, you think how far, I mean, I was watching with my wife or she was in the room or something and I'm like, you know, a couple of years ago we were watching like Braun Paney matches and lingerie matches between like the same two girls every week and now we have like badass women wrestlers. This is so freaking kick ass, you know?
00:04:14
Speaker
Yeah. Straight athletes. And that's what I just love. I mean, women's wrestling is no longer a joke. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Becky Lynch's Character Development
00:04:21
Speaker
I mean, Becky is the hottest thing in wrestling. Men, woman, otherwise it doesn't matter. I mean, Becky is at the top of the top right now and like the crowd is so hot for her. She is amazing. Her work is amazing. It's just crazy to see how far she's come. I mean, we've always known Becky was
00:04:38
Speaker
a talent, you know, she's always had that it factor, but just to see where she is now versus where she was when she first debuted on the main roster, it is crazy. Yeah. I remember people telling me back in the industry, she was like a, was a heel. And I think a little bit in NXT, she was when she first showed up, but I don't know if she's, if this is what they're feeding her. I feel like this is more organic. This feels like an organic kind of character. It doesn't feel like something that's being thrust on her. You know what I mean? It feels like she's really, you know, in it a hundred percent.
00:05:08
Speaker
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. It does feel more natural than her like, you know, her face where she's kind of like, you know, touchy feely and friendly and, you know, I.
00:05:19
Speaker
I mean, I love that Becky too. And I love scrappy Becky, like Becky Balboa, like fighting as an underdog face, you know, but heal Becky just feels natural. Like when she's talking, like you can just feel her voice and like what she's saying. Like when she told, what does she say? She said on SmackDown this week, she said, you're not the baddest bitch on the planet. You're the luckiest. And I was like, God, she is just burning Rhonda alive.
Becky vs. Ronda: Social Media and Injury Impact
00:05:44
Speaker
And I don't know if you've been keeping up with some of the social media.
00:05:47
Speaker
um beef that they've been going back and forth but that's been even more entertaining than you know like the stuff on screen or just as entertaining as the stuff on screen like they are it's it's gold right now and i'm loving loving loving it
00:06:00
Speaker
Yeah, they're killing it. She went back and forth with Rhonda. She went back and forth with Naya. If you missed it, Naya, during that melee in the ring to end raw, Naya clocked her, obviously by mistake. I know. That was a pretty solid punch, though. It was. Bloodied up her nose bad. Yeah. And then she hit, did you read the one where she told Rhonda? She's like, I got my face busted open and I showed up the next night. You got your face busted open and you hit under your blankie for a year. And I was like,
00:06:28
Speaker
Oh my gosh. Like that is so wicked because you know, I love Rhonda too. Like Rhonda's my girl and I loved Rhonda and UFC. Um, and she did when she, when she got her, you know, face busted open, she went into hiding. She was in a depression and you know, I mean, I know there's a difference in UFC and WWE, but I was like, Oh man, like they are spitting straight fire at each other. Yeah. I wonder if you have to clear that stuff with Rhonda when you tweet something out like that, because I don't know if she has the thickest skin.
00:06:55
Speaker
Uh, I have, I have wondered that for a while. I mean, I know like, you know, like I'm sure they, they say things to each other, but sometimes you just feel like, Oh, these girls are shooting, you know, like I feel like sometimes.
00:07:06
Speaker
It's real, but I'm sure that I'm sure that they, um, you know, run certain things by each other just as a, as a matter of respect, you know, but I don't care what they're doing or if they're running it by each other or not. I'm loving watching it all unfold. Oh, me too. For sure. And now it's, it looks like Becky is out for survivor series. I'm sure we're going to see her.
00:07:26
Speaker
at some point hopefully make a guest appearance and we'll get to that in our Survivor Series preview, but do you think Naya feels any kind of heat backstage? Do you think that she gets reprimanded for this at all? Because you're taking basically the hottest act out of a show that's, I mean it's really dependent on that match, you know, and now it's been changed.
00:07:46
Speaker
True. I know things happen and I know I don't think for a moment that Naya intentionally like punched her in the face to try to like, you know, break her nose or anything like that. And like I said, things happen. I don't think there'll be any reprimand or anything like that. I think this makes the feud hotter.
00:08:04
Speaker
i think just like almost giving it to us like you know we were like foaming at the mouth for it and then almost giving it to us and then taking it away you know and then maybe it'll be on a bigger stage like what if we get ronda and becky at mania you know like that would be awesome and honestly i think it's
00:08:20
Speaker
the best thing that could have happened because I was worried. I talked a little bit about it last week. I was worried about them putting Becky and Rhonda up against each other because Rhonda was on fire, Becky's on fire, and Becky's got the lead, right? People are going to take sides with Becky, so inevitably they're going to turn on Rhonda, and I thought it was a bad move.
00:08:42
Speaker
to kind of slow Ronda's momentum by putting her up against Becky. So I think this is a good way out of it. Not a good way in the fact that Becky got her face broken, but I definitely think it builds a feud and makes it more meaningful and hotter. I think there's no what if about it. I think this has to be a WrestleMania match. You cannot waste this on a
00:09:04
Speaker
backlash or some some crap pay-per-view, even if it's Royal Rumble. I just just yeah I mean they're on separate brands you can keep them separate you can keep the trash talk going you can keep them beating people you know pretty handily over the next couple months and save this for WrestleMania and give us that moment because it's so so we didn't get the Daniel Bryan Miz moment that's looks like it's gone now you know I was hoping that would be a WrestleMania match and you know they just they burnt the
00:09:30
Speaker
There's just so many paper views, they can't save things for that far in advance. But I think if you do this right, I mean, you could main event WrestleMania with this match, it would be awesome. For sure. And I mean, when it does happen, I think it's just gonna be one of those that we're like, man, that's like match of the year material.
00:09:48
Speaker
Yeah, when she came out and the entire raw roster was in the ring, it felt very stone-coldish. It was pretty awesome. Yeah, it was cool. I do have one qualm about SmackDown when she came out and chose her who was replacing her when she chose Charlotte. I thought it was cool that they did it like that, but then they shook hands and they hugged and I'm like, no! What's with all the hugging? Stop the hugging.
00:10:18
Speaker
you know um and i just didn't like that becky like hugged her because i'm like you you had all this like heel he and i i get it's a matter of respect but like you know they've been i don't know i just didn't like it i do like that billy k um and the the iconics like the all the girls were like hugging in the middle of the ring like hugging charlotte like yay you get a match at survivor series and billy k um and they were just like
00:10:43
Speaker
You know, oh great. Awesome. Good for you. That was cool. But yeah, we talked about, that was our first episode that just do that too often with the women wrestlers and it doesn't need to be like that. I mean, shake her hand and walk the hell out of the ring and be pissed off that you don't get this moment, you know?
00:10:58
Speaker
Yeah. And she did a good promo. She's like, I'm angry. I'm angry as hell. You know, and I loved her. I loved her energy and I loved the way that she, you know, I loved the way she delivered that promo, but I, the hug killed it for me. I was like, Becky, stop hugging people. Do you think she comes in and wrecks shit in this match and just beats the shit out of Charlotte and just says, you know, this is my match. And then, then we get another extended Charlotte Becky program.
00:11:24
Speaker
Well, I actually had that in my notes because, um, I, for the survivor series, but I, I definitely think that Becky's presence is looming over, over this match, whether she comes in and disrupts Rhonda or whether she comes in. Um, and like, I'm thinking like, well, maybe she hugged her and like did all that, you know, and then she's going to come in and be like, you know, you thought, cause, cause afterwards Charlotte cut a promo and was like, or did a backstage segment and said, um,
00:11:48
Speaker
You know, I'm fighting for Becky, you know, this, that and the other. And it was all like kind of like touchy feely and motivational. And I was like, this is weird. This feels very out of place, which could just be setting us up for Becky to come in and, you know, mess with her or screw with her, beat her down during this match and then just be like, oh, this is my match. Kind of like what you said, you know?
00:12:08
Speaker
I really like Charlotte so much more as a heel. I just hate her as a face. It's just like Ric Flair as a face. You gotta have him as like an asshole, like chicken shit type of heel. Yeah, I love Charlotte Flair as an athlete and as a performer. I definitely prefer her as a heel to being a face. But yeah, I mean, you can only have so many heel women, I guess, right? Yeah. I mean, I guess if you really wanted to make Becky
00:12:34
Speaker
you know, the stone cold Steve Austin, and you could turn her face pretty quickly by just having a obnoxious, whiny, you know, it's all about me type of character for Charlotte, as she's done in the past, and we'll see if we get that. I don't want to ruin too much of your, I'm sorry I went into your notes for survivorship.
00:12:51
Speaker
No, you're fine. You're totally fine. Great minds think alike, I guess. Oh, totally. Yeah. And I mean, you know, it's like I said, it's going to be epic any way it happens in any way it plays out. I think it's just going to set us up for more amazing women's wrestling in the future. And I'm pumped for that.
00:13:07
Speaker
And the fact that we had a WWE title, heavyweight title change on SmackDown, and that's not what we're leading the show with is insane. But Dana O'Brien wins the title from AJ Styles, turns heel. And now we have a brand new main event. Yeah, I did not see that coming. Okay, so let me just tell you a little behind the scenes that took the chick Foley house.
Daniel Bryan's Surprise Title Win
00:13:29
Speaker
So SmackDown was on and I was out in the garage cleaning because, you know,
00:13:33
Speaker
uh, Seth had just taken bread upstairs to take a nap and I was like, okay, I got to capitalize on this, you know, time without the baby and to do some chores around here. So I went outside in the garage and then Seth comes down and he's like, what happened on SmackDown? He's like, oh my God, Daniel Bryan is the world champ. And I thought he was messing with me. And I was like, I was like, what?
00:13:52
Speaker
He's like, Daniel Bryan is the world champ. And I could not believe it. Like, of course, like, you know, I'm thinking we're just setting up for Survivor Series. Like nothing crazy is going to happen. And then there was a freaking title change. Like, like Daniel Bryan ended AJ Styles year plus title reign and I'm in the garage.
00:14:10
Speaker
That's insane. Yeah, that seems to happen to me whenever I skip Raw or SmackDown, something like that happens. But I'm a little upset that they stopped this AJ Styles title reign. I have a couple questions for you. I mean, are you in approval of this? And do you think that AJ is going to have another... I mean, was this his title reign? Was this his moment? Does he have another one like this, you know, six months, eight months down the road? Or is he kind of now a guy that doesn't need a title anymore?
00:14:39
Speaker
Um, well, I definitely think AJ Styles has another title reign in him. Um, I think that I heard some behind the scenes rumblings that AJ may legit be hurt. Um, which could have, yeah, which could have led to this, you know, last minute change. I don't know if that's true. Like I said, it was just stuff that I was reading online. And, um, apparently he didn't wrestle in the mix match mix. Oh man. Mix match challenge. Whoa. That's a mouthful.
00:15:07
Speaker
Um, uh, following Smackdown. So Jeff Hardy actually wrestled with Charlotte, which, you know, kind of led to people saying like, AJ may legit be hurt. Um, so I, I, I'm pumped about Daniel Bryan versus Brock. I think it's going to be an awesome match. It's a match that, you know, I've wanted to see for a while and thought that, you know, after we retired, like we're never going to see this match, you know, but, um, I do worry a little bit because.
00:15:31
Speaker
Brock's move set isn't very conducive to someone who has like a surgically repaired neck. Like I don't know if I would want to take like 10 suplexes.
00:15:40
Speaker
If I had a bad neck, you know what I'm saying? I just asked the Singh brothers, man, this guy's got tossed around like rag dolls on Monday. Yeah. And you know, Daniel, Daniel's so small compared to Brock, you know, which I think it's like that David and Goliath, um, you know, type of match up, but which makes it cool. But, you know, knowing what we know, like about Brian's injury, like I'm like, Hmm.
00:16:03
Speaker
It just like I'm not going to be comfortable watching it at all. So it makes sense if that is the case. But why then turn him heel if you're going to then be facing Brock Lesnar?
Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar: Heel Turn Implications
00:16:15
Speaker
I mean, you'd want to have that underdog Goliath kind of storyline unless they're planning something bigger.
00:16:23
Speaker
That's true. I think maybe they're hoping that by turning Daniel Bryan heel and having him turn on AJ Styles, who is also a beloved member of the SmackDown roster, that he'll have some heat and maybe it'll take the heat off of Brock. Because I think I think Brock's going over in this one. I don't see Daniel Bryan being able to
00:16:45
Speaker
to come away with the win in this match.
00:17:07
Speaker
I think if they did meet up, I was going for AJ over Brock, but I think Brock's going over on this one now that it's Daniel Bryan.
NXT WarGames Preview
00:17:16
Speaker
So we have NXT also leading up to WarGames. Tell me what happened on NXT because I did not catch that. I watched a little bit of NXT today. It was basically just setting everything up. WarGames, let me see what else. Hold on, can you pause?
00:17:36
Speaker
So obviously Saturday is NXT TakeOver War Games 2 after last year's barn burner. Let's walk through the card here, Sheena, and you can give me predictions. It's pretty stacked, man. I mean, this is a card that could be, I would say all these guys deserve a call up within the next year or so. It's going to be pretty interesting to see how that happens. But Johnny Gargano against Aleister Black kicking off, maybe kicking off the show as the first match is pretty, that's a main event for NXT, I would feel like.
00:18:06
Speaker
Yeah, and that's another one. That's a potential match of the year candidate. I think that is going to be just epic. You aren't going to be able to take your eyes off the screen. So make sure you're not out in the garage during that match. You want to make sure that you are. You've got your drink, you've used the bathroom, you're ready to sit down and lock in. But I am going with Alistair Black on this one. What about you?
00:18:27
Speaker
I'm the same and I'm hoping the Gargano Champa thing starts back up or they bring it up to the main roster. I just feel like that deserves a build to a WrestleMania match or something. It'd be a perfect time to get those guys up. I don't want to see them up after Mania. I think getting those guys up onto the main roster sometime soon would be pretty cool to see them.
00:18:47
Speaker
Yeah, do you think do you think we have the potential for like a heal DIY run like you think they'll reunite as Heels together or do you think the feud will just continue? I Think I think a heel run together would be pretty cool Just it's kind of like almost full circle and then they split up again and have a have another feud at the main roster I mean, I don't think people would complain I think most of the people that you know that watch some raw on Smackdown aren't 100% NXT watchers, so it would be fresh to people so
00:19:15
Speaker
For sure. Yeah, yeah. Then we have the NXT Women's Championship. We got Shayna Baszler and Kari Sane, two out of three falls match. I think this is going to be the final match of this feud, obviously. And then Kari said something on NXT this week about Shayna not having her crew behind her or something. I guess I'm assuming that she's going to have
00:19:39
Speaker
the horse women, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafer, like banned from ringside, which I think will be interesting. Yeah, I remember they were going to do some sort of Survivor Series or some sort of four on four match with those ladies and Charlotte and Becky and Sasha. I guess that never materialized or maybe that's something they have on the back burner, but that would be pretty cool down the line.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah, I think so too. That was before Rhonda even came into the WWE. I always thought that that was gonna be something that was bubbling beneath the surface, but it never came to be. But I mean, there's still the potential for that, obviously.
00:20:13
Speaker
Yeah, I think Kyrie Sane is going to win this one. I think she's got the longer shelf life in NXT. I think Baszler is going to be called up, and maybe they add her to the feud, or maybe they have her on SmackDown for a while and kind of feud with Becky as kind of a placeholder until they get to WrestleMania. But I think I'm being a little more presumptuous that all these NXT people are getting caught up before WrestleMania. I don't think that really happens too often. But I think it would be cool to have some fresh blood, especially on SmackDown. I'd love to see a lot of these guys get called up.
00:20:43
Speaker
Yeah. What about the NXT Championship Champa versus Velveteen Dream? Oh, man. I love Velveteen Dream. This is going to be a great match, man. I think people sleep on him way too much. He's been so good. And he's gotten so much better. He's a local guy, too, here from Baltimore. And I didn't like that character at first when he got unveiled in NXT. Same. And I think he just has owned it. And it's been pretty awesome to see. I don't think the title changes hands here. I think something wonky might happen. But it's going to be a fun match, for sure.
00:21:13
Speaker
Yeah, and I think Dream seems like he's ready for the main roster. So I feel like this could potentially be, as we're talking about everybody getting called up, I feel like this could be one of his last matches in NXT. The only thing I'm worried about though, cuz I love me some Velveteen Dream too, is I'm wondering how his character is going to translate on the main roster. Cuz I feel like his character is the type of character and gimmick that's made for that type of crowd, like the NXT audience. And I'm wondering, how is it gonna
00:21:41
Speaker
How's it going to translate on raw or smack down? Yeah, it's almost like a gold dust type character. They could do it with just kind of like freaking people out, but you don't want to get into the kind of the, you know, the anti.
00:21:55
Speaker
Like you said, it's kind of like the Adam Rose effect. It's where it's huge down the next team. He comes up and it's just no one in the entire arena says anything for five minutes and just bombs. But I think Champa is going to keep the title here and the final match, the War Games match is going to be awesome. Just look at these names, the War Raiders, Ricochet, Pete Dunne, taking on the undisputed era.
00:22:18
Speaker
that match last year. I still go back and watch that match every once in a while and this one is going to be really good.
00:22:24
Speaker
Yeah, and I love the War Games concept. I can't believe it took them 20 years to bring that back. Like WWE, where were you on that? How did we get a Punjabi Prison match and not a War Games match, you know? But I think what's cool this year is they're back to the regular traditional War Games rules versus last year was a little bit different. They had the Shark Cages and they had, it was three teams of three last year, but now it's like two teams of four, which is more the traditional style of War Games, which I love.
00:22:53
Speaker
And also it's cool because Roderick Strong was paired with AOP last year for War Games and now Roderick Strong is part of the undisputed era. So it'll be interesting. It's just interesting that, you know, now he's on the other side. Who do you see winning this one? The faces have the most to gain, I think, from a win here. Like Pete Dunne and Ricochet are champs and I think the War Raiders are in line for a title match. So I think it makes sense for them to win.
00:23:21
Speaker
uh... buts undisputed air is also stronger than you know they've ever been and i could totally see them getting away and making them like the two-time war games winners and that kind of being their thing you know like and i'd be like bragging rights they use for you know been the foreseeable future uh... the tactic chance with a car rally in ronald strong or the taking chance for the disney yeah that would be uh... since that's where they're going to go with this going forward yet it's interesting that i don't know if they'll win back to back but
00:23:52
Speaker
Yeah, I think the faces, especially the War Raiders, are relatively newer. Ricochet, I think, is a guy they're going to build around going forward. And I hate to say this for another match, but when they recall these guys, they're going to be all four of them together, I would assume, right? I mean, this is a gimmick that can work as a new stable and kind of the anti-shield type of thing.
00:24:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I think they're going to come up as a stable together to replace the shield that is no longer. They're going to be awesome. I can't wait to see them on the main roster. I love them down at NXT and I love Undisputed Era.
00:24:29
Speaker
Yeah, I think they'll all come up together. I think it'll I think it would be cool if they did like, you know, an invasion type angle with those guys. Oh, yeah, for sure. You have a interesting creation for takeover, don't you? Yeah, it's every takeover. It's just so it's it's kind of lame when you say it out loud, but we call it the Phelps family NXT stakeover.
00:24:50
Speaker
Um, and we always eat some form of steak dish. Anytime there's an NXT takeover. Um, I don't really recall how that came to be. Um, but it's been something we've been doing for like a long time now. And there's never a time when having steak is lame. I don't know if those two things go together. So.
00:25:07
Speaker
No, I just love things that rhyme. And I can't remember. One time we were just, I think, just coincidentally having steak on an NXT Takeover night. And Heal Husband was like, oh, NXT Stakeover. And then it just kind of became a thing. Have you done fajitas yet?
00:25:25
Speaker
We have not done fajitas. Yeah, we've done kebabs. We've done regular different types of steak fajitas. That is not a bad idea. You can use that one if you want to. Let's get into the Survivor Series card before we get into our figure purchases of the week.
00:25:45
Speaker
Man, Survivor Series, I went back and looked at the last five or six years. And it's usually, I feel like this card stacks up way better than any of the recent years. Name me a match in the last five or six years from Survivor Series. It's really tough to do. It's been very unmemorable. But this card is pretty stacked.
00:26:04
Speaker
Yeah, it is. And like I said, it's gonna be a big night. I feel like we're gonna be worn out by the end of this. And I think it's gonna be a really good show. I don't know if it'll come out on top of NXT TakeOver.
Survivor Series vs. TakeOver
00:26:18
Speaker
I think TakeOver may win the battle of the weekend, but I definitely think I'm gonna be entertained by Survivor Series this year.
00:26:27
Speaker
Let's start off with the tag team matchup. AOP, the raw tag team champs take on the bar, the SmackDown tag team champs. Yeah, I'm going for AOP in this one.
00:26:38
Speaker
I think so too. I think they're the younger guys. I think they'll probably get put over by Seamus and Cesaro. I'm wondering how much longer those guys are together. I mean, it sounds cool to split them up, but I think they're much better as a unit, as much as I love Cesaro. They're both great talents, but I just don't think that the main event...
00:27:00
Speaker
There's just not a place for them right now. I mean, I like them together. You know, like if you split them up, they're really just going to be, they're not going to be anywhere memorable.
The Bar's Future and Rollins vs. Nakamura
00:27:09
Speaker
You know, they're going to be that mid-card show up every once in a while. And like you said, Cesaro is amazing. I think Seamus is a good talent. But if you split them up, you're really doing both of them a disservice at this point, because there's just so much talent on the roster right now that I don't think either one of those guys have a chance.
00:27:26
Speaker
at the moment for a title run or anything. I keep them together and I'm wondering if Big Show is going to get involved with AOP. That's a lot of humanity in the ring. That's a lot of meat, yeah. I went back looking at past Survivor Series and Seamus won, I think it was a Money in the Bank cash-in. It was like three years ago. That feels like 20 years ago now. Oh my gosh, that does feel like 20 years ago. 2015, yeah. You've cashed in against, I think, Reigns.
00:27:54
Speaker
Oh my god. Crazy, right? Yeah. All right, we both got AOP in this one. I think it should be a good match. Let's go to maybe a dream match for people. Seth Rollins, the Intercontinental champ, taking on Nakamura, the US champ, and this one's going to be fun. Yeah, I think this could give Gargano on Black a match or a run for match of the weekend. My question is, does Dean interfere with this match? 5,000%, yes.
00:28:23
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I think, I think something's going to happen. Um, I think the match itself up until we get whatever, whatever's going to happen with or without Dean, like it's going to be unbelievable. Both of these guys can straight go. Um, and I'm so pumped to see this. I didn't like Shinsuke. Shinsuke did this weird, um, backstage segment with the cell phone where he was, I couldn't really tell what he was saying. And most of the time, like even with Shinsuke, like I can understand him, even though there's like the language barrier, but this week I was like, what is he saying? And even the audience was like, what?
00:28:53
Speaker
What? And so yeah, it wasn't a good way. It wasn't a good way to end the go home show for him this week, but it is going to be an epic match.
00:29:02
Speaker
I think Dean, this is my royal prediction, Dean gets involved, but I don't think they're going to have him, I don't think we're going to see him touch Rollins until these two have a match, so I think maybe he comes out and does Dirty Deeds to Nakamura and gets him disqualified and Nakamura wins somehow like that and that's how it ends, which would kind of suck, but I think overall it's going to be a good match.
00:29:24
Speaker
But I could see a distraction like Dean coming in and just distracting Rollins and like Shinsuke rolling him up or you know doing Kinshasa or something, you know. True, true, true, true. Yeah. But I'm going for Rollins, no surprise there I'm sure.
00:29:36
Speaker
I love these title versus title matches because you don't have to really think about a title change. You can just enjoy it as much as it's a pure wrestling match when you have guys interfering and stuff like that. But especially it's cool to have guys from different brands. Now they keep them somewhat separate to see them going against each other. So that's pretty cool. Let's move on to the cruiserweight match. This is probably going to be on the pre-show. But your boy Buddy Murphy defending the bet against Mustafa Ali.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah, this is gonna be another amazing match. I don't see Buddy Murphy losing, you know, this soon. And so I'm definitely, I think I'm team Buddy Murphy. I don't know if Cedric Alexander had the title for like a year. I feel like, wasn't Enzo just the champion like within the last year or so? Yeah, it's pretty crazy like, you know, that it's, that he had that for a year, but let's see. Yeah.
00:30:34
Speaker
sidebar sorry it's okay but yeah i mean i've i'd love buddy murphy that matching at the uh the greatest uh whatever it was uh that down under down under car was uh you need
Tag Team and Women's Championship Predictions
00:30:47
Speaker
to get this tattooed on your hand i need to put a post-it note on the top of my computer
00:30:53
Speaker
I'm going to get you a shirt that says Super Show now. Don't tell me. Oh, damn it. I was going to see how long it would take me to remember what it was. We'd be here for like three hours. I randomly saw, I went to an Evolve show like two years ago and saw Cedric Alexander against Tony Nese before they signed, or maybe they were already signed, but they were not at 205 Live or anything.
00:31:12
Speaker
And it was just a fucking awesome match, and I've always cheered for both of those guys. Hopefully, Alexander gets back into the title picture, but I think there's a lot of great guys. I'm starting to watch 205 a little bit more, and it's been a pretty fun show if you have an extra hour to kill at some point during your week. Yeah, for sure. I like 205 Live too. I don't get to watch it every week, but I do enjoy it, and there's some good stuff happening down there for sure.
00:31:41
Speaker
All right, Team Raw versus Team SmackDown. We have Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, the Revival, the B Team, the Ascension, and Lucha House Party. This is going to be the match. This is going to be the match like five years from now. We're going to be like, who the hell? What were these guys? Yeah, who are these guys?
00:31:57
Speaker
Against New Day, the Usos, Saniteed, Lucan, Gallows, and Anderson, and the clones made it. The clones are on this card, but AJ Styles isn't, so that's good. That tells you everything you need to know. No, I'm just kidding. But I'm going team SmackDown on this. I love me some Usos. I love the New Day. I love the little Uso penitentiary, or sorry, the Survivor Series penitentiary that they did, the promo that they did. I thought it was really good.
00:32:26
Speaker
How do you have nine guys at ringside without like, can you even see the match with all these guys? It's going to just be like a lumberjack match. Everybody's just going to kind of be like around the outside of the ring, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the SmackDown team is, I mean, with with New Day and Usos, I mean, you're basically stacked there. I mean, you have Gallows and Anderson and Sanity. I mean, you get some pretty scary teams in the SmackDown side. I hate to agree with you again, but yeah.
00:32:52
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, when you, when you call those names new day, Usos sanity, you know, gals and Anderson, I mean, obviously like he excluding the colognes, but, um, I mean, and then you put it up against like Bobby root and Chad gable, like my, my, you know, the revival, not terrible, but the B team ascension lucha house party. Like if SmackDown doesn't win this, that's going to be a shame.
00:33:16
Speaker
For sure. Uh, the women's five on five match with Mickey James, my girl Ruby Riot, Nia Jax, Tamina, and Natalia, taking on Carmella, Naomi, Asuka, Sonya Deville, and a partner to be named later. Wow. Yeah. Since, uh, which is crazy. I'm wondering how they're going to, how they're going to do that. Um, and usually like in my experience, a surprise partner or like, you know, um,
00:33:42
Speaker
Guests or whatever like they always let you down you know like those Like you feel like you're like gonna be waiting and get this big awesome surprise in this big pop and most the time It's just like a wet fart. You're like oh You know Maria Kanellis or something. Oh my gosh if Maria Kanellis comes out of that back room at the locker room. I will die I will What are the options? Oh my gosh?
00:34:08
Speaker
Yeah, Nikki Cross was missing from SmackDown, so maybe she'll show up. That would be pretty awesome. I think maybe they kept her off so that it would be more of a surprise when she does show up. Where do you sit on this one? I feel like the Raw team is a little more stacked.
00:34:26
Speaker
I'm going team SmackDown, Naomi, Asuka, and even though we don't know who is going to be the, you know, partner to be determined, I think with Naomi and Asuka and Carmella, you got enough there and obviously Sonya Deville. Tell me who's the next champion out of these nine ladies. The next champion out of these nine ladies. If you say Tamina, I'm turning off the machine right now.
00:34:54
Speaker
Dang it. Don't turn the machine off. I would say Naya. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. They were boating around for a time. Yeah. She's still kind of in it. I mean, especially now that she, I think something's going to happen between her and Becky. I think they're probably definitely going to use that. I mean, they wouldn't have re-showed us that punch.
00:35:15
Speaker
over and over when Raw came on if they weren't planning on turning that into something. Oh, for sure. I mean, you got to use it, yeah. And yeah, I think they definitely have to use that. And Naya and Tamina, like they walked up to Ronda Rousey, you know, so I think they're keeping Naya in the title picture.
00:35:34
Speaker
I don't think I've ever seen Sonya Deville win a match, but maybe this is the first chance for that. And Asuka, everyone's upset that she's kind of been on the back burner, but I think it works because I don't think you can have a character just be dominant forever. And you're gonna have to have some highs and lows with it. I think they'll probably elevate her back up around WrestleMania time or something, but it'd be interesting to see what they do here with her.
00:35:58
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. Um, I think, I think Oscar is, is going to, I think she'll pop back up. Like you said, around mania, they're going to build her up because she, she performs on, on the big stage. I think she can really show out. Um, and it's just like we talked about before, it's just hard. There's so much talent. There's especially with, you know, Rhonda being there and you know, Becky being as on fire as she is. And you know, you got Charlotte and Sasha and Bailey and like all these people. So it's hard to fit everybody in.
00:36:24
Speaker
So far, I'm not excited about either. I mean, as much as I always remember Survivor Series so fondly, but the Survivor Series matches are a cool kind of buildup and it's a different style of a pay-per-view, but they're never that interesting. I don't think either of these matches, you're not going to really have someone come out of it, unless you said like Nia's the lone survivor and they kind of make her a bigger deal, but we'll see what happens there. The Men's Raw vs. SmackDown match, we have
00:36:53
Speaker
Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, and Bobby Lashley. A lot of meat on that team against Jeff Hardy, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and Samoa Joe. Man, if these guys were in a bar fight, I don't know if I'd put money on the SmackDown team. No, for sure. I'm going with Team Raw on this one. I do think it's weird, though, that Finn is on this team with all these people that hate him.
00:37:23
Speaker
Yeah, he's the one constant there against four heels, yeah. Yeah, so I'm like, what's going to happen? Are they going to attack a fan after the match? Did you see, Stephanie said, as long as you guys win, I don't care what you guys do to each other after the match. And I'm like, well, what is she trying to say? What's she setting us up for? Yeah, yeah. This would be a good stage to have Drew McIntyre, a dominant shit kicker in kind of outlasting all the other guys and maybe have a showdown with Braun at the end or something. Yeah.
00:37:53
Speaker
Yeah, I think this would be a good time to elevate Drew, because I mean, what I've read too is Braun is hurt. His knees are shot. So I don't know. I think that could have been a whole reason why he didn't get, you know, crowned at crown jewel, because I think they just see like the injury potential in Braun. And so I think, you know, McIntyre is definitely somebody that could slide into that top spot.
00:38:18
Speaker
Imagine losing AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman to injuries as we head into WrestleMania season. That is not a good look. Yeah, and think about everybody that you already have out, KO, Triple H. These are all people that are already out, and the list is growing. Jason Jordan, Jason Jordan. Do we know what's his deal? He's been out for quite a while. I don't know.
00:38:46
Speaker
I haven't even missed him, though. That's the sad thing. Oh, yep. Yeah, that is sad. Is that sad? I mean, is that bad to say? I mean, it's just you're being honest, you know. They didn't do much with him. I mean. Yeah, but we like Survivor Series. Survivor Series around here is we always celebrate Seth's birthday and Survivor Series. It's on the 14th or his birthday on the 24th. So we always celebrate that. I was going to say, my birthday is the 14th and we could have shared birthdays there.
00:39:12
Speaker
Oh, November babies. I went to a side note. I went to see Aziz Ansari last night with the wife for my birthday. Oh, my gosh. That is so awesome. I love Aziz. He was wearing a M-M-M-M-M-Mage Undertaker vintage t-shirt on stage. So I have to give him some love for that. Somebody trolled me on the Instagram page yesterday for saying mage. And they're like, you know, biting off cheap heat much. I'm like, I can say whatever the freak I want to say. Like, nobody. Come on, man.
00:39:40
Speaker
I know jerks. We blocked them, gave them the block master treatment, but yeah, it does feel good. I'm like, get up out of here, but let's go on to go
Wrestling Figure Collecting
00:39:52
Speaker
figure. We got some good, uh, you know, our weekly purchases. Did you pick up anything this week? I picked up a couple things. I picked up the Paul bear hall of champions that, uh, that, uh, series three hall of champions is now at my stores with the, uh, new age outlaw. Whoa. We still have not seen that here.
00:40:09
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the badass Ultimate Warrior, so I had to pick up the Paul Bear. I'm sure my son's not going to know who he is, but it'll be cool. We don't have too many managers in the Casa de Gentil, so we have a good opening for Paul Bear. Oh, that's great. Yeah, that's a good figure. What about you? I know you get some good stuff.
00:40:32
Speaker
Yeah, we picked up, um, uh, we got the Hardy Boys wrestling buddies from, uh, ringside for the baby face for Christmas. He loves, he has a fin wrestling buddy and an AJ wrestling buddy, and he just loves them. So we went ahead and picked him up the Hardy Boys. Um, we did pick up elite 63 Shelton Benjamin, uh, the regular, not the chase. So, um, he's got like the white and gold.
00:40:55
Speaker
Boots knee pads trunks and comes with the ladder and then we got elite 64 Curt Hawkins again the Regular version not the chase which is the blue gear which I don't know why they didn't make the blue gear the chase like it's so much better But I don't who knows I don't make the rules And then we got the top talent Finn baller, which is like the the gay pride rainbow Finn baller. Oh cool Yeah, pretty dope figure
00:41:21
Speaker
So you got the Kurt Halkins, the orange, and the blue? That's not the normal one? That's the rare one? No, the Chase is the black. So the black ring gear is the Chase figure. And the standard is the blue and orange. I think that blue and orange is cooler looking. That's what I said. Yeah. How does the Sheldon Benjamin, I know a couple other podcasts have said he does not look pretty, very legit. I think he looks fine. I don't have any qualms with him.
00:41:51
Speaker
The head scan is fine. I mean, he's obviously like super duper ripped, but yeah, no major qualms with Shelton Benjamin. I'm surprised you haven't gotten that Dusty Rhodes Elite 63 yet. No, we still, we have a, Seth has a list of, you know, everything in Seth's life. I don't know if you guys know this. There's a spreadsheet and a system to it. He's very systematic in everything that he does. So he has like all the figures that we need ranked by priority. So.
00:42:21
Speaker
I'll have to ask him where, uh, where that falls on the, on the rankings. I'm sure you guys, you know, we'll get into this as we get closer to Christmas, but do you guys take a break and like, uh, okay, let's, let's stop buying things for a couple of weeks and, you know, give each other some gifts. Do you, do you ever exchange wrestling figures or is it just a kind of a 365 day a year type of thing?
00:42:43
Speaker
It's an ongoing process. We just keep going. We give each other gifts. They're not normally wrestling figures. Seth will get me gifts that are, you know, he got me like NECA figures and then I got him gifts one time that were like the turtles, like the ninja turtles and then obviously there's the ninja turtles that were dressed up like wrestlers. So those fun things like that.
00:43:07
Speaker
pretty much we just order figures as needed and find them and hunt for them. And it's just kind of like something that we do 365. Nice, nice. Yeah, there's some cool, it looks like on Amazon, the Elite, what's it 62 with the Dude Love and those ones are now on Amazon. You can get those on Prime shipping and even the flashback million dollar man's up there for $9.99.
00:43:35
Speaker
if you want if you miss that so uh i oh sweet yeah that's uh that's got like sting and what uh sting brawn roman and then i think who else isn't there's a in elite 62 aop right aop yep aop
00:43:50
Speaker
Yeah. Amazon, I feel like the last week or two has been doing a lot of good deals. Definitely just search WWE Elite and then go to sort price low to high. They have a lot of them for under $10. A lot of nasty boys and Erwin R. Scheinster and a bunch of $10 figs. Even the Tonka one, which was a pretty cool looking fig. I picked it up two, three months ago. But it's like $10. Can't beat that. Can't beat that. No. For sure.
00:44:19
Speaker
and I grabbed a couple basics from my local Five Below for $5 for my kid. He did a Nakamura NXT there, which was pretty cool, so I picked that up. But other than that, I'm still kind of waiting for Black Friday to see if there's some good deals going on. I know there's a couple stores around the area, and we're going to do a Black Friday episode. It's going to drop the same place you find all our shows on Black Friday morning. It's going to be
00:44:44
Speaker
Survivor Series recap and we're also going to kind of give you the best deals going around for wrestling figures whether it's Walmart or Target or ringside collectibles and everywhere in between if we're going to pull our friends and do some searching and digging and find some good deals for you guys and so you can go out shopping and spend all your money on wrestling figures for this holiday season. So be sure to find that on a Black Friday morning.
00:45:09
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. And then I had some figure news I wanted to share. I posted it on the Instagram, but that new page figure, the Walgreens exclusive, is so dope. It's definitely the best page figure that has come out to date. And I think it's only her second elite. The other elite was her debut figure in the purple gear when she won the...
00:45:32
Speaker
Divas championship and I mean this one is with the studded leather jacket I cannot wait to get my hands on that figure. Yeah, just put it up. It's pretty badass looking. Yeah, looks pretty cool Yeah, I'm waiting for that Carmela I guess that was supposed to be a Walgreens elite to at the Carmela with the the money pants I think that's gonna be the well the there was an Italia and a couple other women that got delayed Walgreens is really screwing up the system right now. So I
00:45:59
Speaker
It's going to be a while before we see that page figure, I'm sure. But yeah, Walgreens, they're really pissing me off. But, you know, as long as we get it eventually or you can find it on eBay or somewhere, somebody will be able to get it for you. I wonder if she ever gets back into the ring. I know she's had the concussion problems and, you know, Dana Bryan came back from it.
Paige's Potential Return
00:46:19
Speaker
I don't know if it's a time issue or what.
00:46:22
Speaker
Yeah, well, and then Alexa Bliss is kind of going through the same thing. I feel like if Daniel Bryan can come back, anybody can come back. You know, I think it's just, they just have to give people enough time, you know, just for safety and then be like, well, you know, if you ask enough doctors, eventually somebody's going to say yes, you know.
00:46:39
Speaker
I saw the preview for the the page family movie. I feel like on the family or something. Oh, yeah. I didn't even know that was still in the works. I thought that had gotten the kibosh. Yeah. The the rocks like producing it. Yeah, he's in it. So there are some funny scenes in the trailer just kind of.
00:46:56
Speaker
I don't know if you've ever seen the Shaun of the Dead movies or the fat buddy of the two main guys. I forget his name. I think it's Edgar or something, but he's like the dad. He's like Paige's dad, and he's always funny and stuff.
00:47:12
Speaker
Awesome. Check that out. You had a random merch of the week? I do not have one, but you do. What is it? Yeah, so the random merch of the week is there was an eBay listing for two 16-inch LJNs. It was two of them. They were sold in the box. It was Rowdy Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan, and they sold for $500, these two figures that
00:47:37
Speaker
Yeah, insane. And I guess they came out in like 1985. And like I said, they're the 16 inch figures, which the regular LJNs are like eight inches. So yeah, they're pretty freaking cool looking. Were they ever released? I don't remember hearing anything about them. No, I didn't, I mean, I, this is the first time like when I was talking to heel husband about it, this is the first time I had seen them. So yeah, they're pretty, they're pretty cool.
00:48:03
Speaker
Man, eBay is a dangerous rabbit hole, man. And I start searching things. And the other day, I just went on trying to find, OK, I'm going to go try to find any Ravens gear on there. I'm a huge Ravens fan. But I want to find, from 96, the old load, just people cleaning out their basements and finding stuff for 10 bucks. And it's just a dangerous rabbit hole. And I try to find some wrestling shirts. And then I try to find wrestling figures. And I'm on there for two hours straight. So yeah.
00:48:31
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. We'll post the link to this sold listing on the Twitter account so you guys can check it out. But yeah, these are pretty cool figs. And I mean, I can't imagine how heavy they are at being over a foot tall. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's pretty insane.
Classic Matches Recommendations
00:48:48
Speaker
Um, we also, do you have a retro wrestling recommendation of the week? I know people are going to be chilling in with their families this week, getting ready for Thanksgiving and may have a little WWE network on in the background. What do you have for people to watch this week? Uh, for the retro wrestling recommendation of the week, did you make that a tongue twister on purpose or no? Yes. I wanted to see like say five times fast.
00:49:10
Speaker
I was from the Great Down Under Scurries. Here's a match that I want you to hear just the names in this match. This is from Survivor Series 2003. Picture all of these guys in a ring.
00:49:27
Speaker
Bradshaw, Chris Benoit, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, and Kurt Angle. There's more beef on the other side. Against A-Train, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Nathan Jones, and Matt Morgan.
00:49:44
Speaker
I mean, there is not one guy in that match I would want to see on a dark, dark alley. I mean, those were not those were not the days of Daniel, the six feet tall, 2005 guys, man. Those were the days of beef. Yeah, lots of lots of beef, lots of HGH, you know. Oh, my gosh, that's that's a good one. I have.
00:50:08
Speaker
Survivor Series 96, which is a classic, uh, in my opinion, Brett first Brett versus Austin. Um, it was the first time. Right. You know, Brett and Austin met in Brett's first match since losing the belt at WrestleMania 12. So it was his comeback at, uh, MSG, just a classic, classic match. Um, and if you wanted to see some good technical wrestling, I mean, it serves it up for you.
00:50:30
Speaker
Yeah, people always talk about that WrestleMania match between them, but this Survivor Series match was pretty legit. Yeah. And it's kind of like the precursor to the attitude era is this match. Yeah. Yeah, it was. It's great. So definitely if you watch it and you've never seen it before, please let us know. Hit us up on Instagram or Twitter and let us know what you thought about it. Do we have any mail this week? We do. We got some things in the good old mail bag. Let me pull it up. It comes in from Mark V.
Mount Rushmore of Wrestling
00:51:00
Speaker
He says, hey, Ms. Foley and Phil, love, love, love the podcast and all the content you guys give us every Thursday. Thanks, man. Yeah, I was wondering, and I hope this isn't too cliche of a question, never, but who is your Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling? Mine would be Flair, Piper, Macho Man, and Austin. Keep up the great work, you guys, and huge shout out to Heel Husband and the Babyface, his costume.
00:51:22
Speaker
was Mage. I can't wait to see him turn heel next year. Much love to all Mark V. Thank you so much for writing in, Mark, and thank you for the compliment on Brett's costume. I was a little obsessed with it, too. So for me, hmm. This is tough. This is really tough. It's really tough because there's a lot of different ways and angles you could look at it. Like for me, my personal Mount Rushmore would probably be Brett
00:51:53
Speaker
Sting warrior in Austin. Um, but I felt I was just making like an overall, like, you know, best wrestlers of all time. Um, maybe like Hogan flair, Austin, heart Brett. I don't know. It's hard because it's like, depending on which way you want to look at it, like who's your favorite or who do you think is the best or who had the best title runs? Um, what do you got?
00:52:16
Speaker
Man, I like your names. I have some different ones. I think Hogan has to be on there just because the greatest face of all time and then just becoming the greatest heel of all time and the biggest stable of all time and just had such an impact on the business. I think Austin has to be on there, basically started the Attitude Era and kick started all that. The Undertaker just for continuity and just because of that character is never going to be duplicated again, just the longevity.
00:52:46
Speaker
And I would say Ric Flair is my number four, so I don't have guys like Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. These are probably better wrestlers than the four guys that I named, but the bigger impact for me puts those guys. What about Cena? Oh, I did want to put Cena on there, too. Maybe I'll put Cena instead of Undertaker. So I'm going to go Austin, Cena, Hogan, and Flair.
00:53:07
Speaker
I know, I was thinking, I mean, of course I'm so, so partial to Bret Hart, but yeah, maybe in the overall, like not my personal, but in the overall, I think maybe Hogan Flair, Austin, Cena. An honorable mention goes to Rock, obviously, but I think maybe his run was just a little bit too short and he kind of, him and Austin were on the top of the mountain at the same time. And I think if you were to just compare them, you know, side by side, Austin gets the nod over the Rock.
00:53:35
Speaker
Triple H, the game, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Jean-Pierre Lavec. Oh my gosh. That's the Bruce Prichard, Mount Rushmore.
00:53:46
Speaker
Yeah, so you guys should write us in and let us know what your Mount Rushmore of wrestling is, because I'd be interested to see where everybody falls on this, because that's a really great question. And like I said, I think it's really subjective, depending on what angle you're looking at it from. Let's do this. Send us an email at askchickfoli at gmail.com, and send us your Mount Rushmore professional wrestling. I went to Jimmy's Famous Seafood the other day. I grabbed some Roman Strong bracelets. I got a couple for Sheena and Seth.
00:54:15
Speaker
and I got an extra one for you guys. So we'll pick one person who, one of the random people that sends us in their Mount Rushmore and I'll send you a bracelet. Oh, that's so awesome. Yeah, man. And we will get into a little bit more of Survivor Series next week. Anything else we need to touch on before we get out of here, Sheena?
00:54:36
Speaker
Yeah, we are actually doing a contest this week. We want you guys to, uh, let us know what your favorite survivor series match is. So make sure you DM chick Foley with your favorite survivor series match. And we're going to be choosing one winner. Um, we have this, one of our amazing followers, Manny is cool too, on Instagram is sending us these gobbledygooker pins guys. Like how perfect.
00:55:03
Speaker
Is it going to be to give away these gobbledygooker pins for Survivor Series? It's the perfect time of year and they are pretty mage. We'll post a picture on the Instagram with full details on the contest, but send us your favorite Survivor Series match and we'll be picking a winner and announce it on the pod next week.
00:55:18
Speaker
All right, so we asked people, did we ask people their favorite Survivor Series moment? I think we did, I think we did it last week. But Jose Sanchez tweeted us, he said his favorite Survivor Series moment has to be 1990 Survivor Series because number one, Warrior, LOD, Kerry Von Erich, Texas Tornado, we're on the same team. And number two, the debut of the legendary gobbledygooker and some guy named The Undertaker, I've heard of him before. So Jose, we're gonna send you that Finn Balor fig in the mail.
00:55:48
Speaker
Awesome. Congrats, man. The Finn Beller NXT Elite Fig. I got to figure out what series that was in, but it's pretty mage. So we'll be sending that to you in the not too distant future, man. Congratulations.
00:56:02
Speaker
Other than that, that's all we got. We will be back next week where we will be recapping Survivor Series. We will give you the best deals on where to find wrestling figures and maybe other stuff. Maybe we'll get some Chalk Line, get some other websites and see if we can reach out to some people and get some deals, get some promo codes, help you guys save some money, man. It's tough this time of year. There's so much money going out the door. Help you save a little bit.
00:56:26
Speaker
Yeah, the more money you save on buying Christmas presents for others, the more money you have to spend on wrestling merch, so...
00:56:35
Speaker
Sorry if that was really loud, but I just found out I had my wrestling sound board on. Did it just kill your ears? Did you hear it? It was a little bit loud, but yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. I should have warned you. So for Chick Foley and for Phil Gentile, thank you guys for listening. We will be back here next week with a brand new episode of the Chick Foley show. Yep. Happy Thanksgiving, Marks. Stay classy.
