Introduction and Weather Chat
00:00:16
Speaker
Oh baby, what a week it's been. Welcome to the Chick Foley Show. Thank you for listening. It's a balmy summer night here in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm in the Jimmy's Famous Seafood Studios. The hot take kid Phil Gentile. Thank you guys for hanging out with us this week. I have the always lovely Sheena Phelps down in Norfolk, Virginia. How are you Sheena?
Father's Day Reflections
00:00:44
Speaker
Good, it's balmy here in Norfolk, too. I don't even know what balmy means. I guess it's like human as shit, like swamp ass weather. Yeah, swamp ass is a good one, yeah. There's a thickness in the air when it's balmy, you know? It's tangible. The heat is tangible. Speaking of thickness, Marco Denton up in Boston, Mass. What's up, Marco? Oh, nothing much. It's pretty...
00:01:10
Speaker
I'll probably say muggy around these parts. Okay, muggy's worse. Muggy's worse than bawling. Yeah, muggy's. It's really damp and muggy and very uncomfortable over here in the Boston area. Nice. Okay, that's not good. Happy Bladed Father's Day to everybody out there. How was your Father's Day, Marco? What'd you end up doing? Nothing much. We pretty much had a hangout day. We didn't travel anywhere too much. Three kids, usually it's hard to
00:01:40
Speaker
Corral them all together, especially you don't know what their personality is going to be. But listen, you wouldn't have Father's Day without those three kids. That is true. They're the reason for the season. That is very true. That is very true. But yeah, we just hung out. We ate.
00:01:59
Speaker
cook some food up, didn't really try to spend as little money as possible. They got me a nice little- So like every other night of the week? Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, same thing. It's a regular family night over here in the Denton household. But no, I enjoyed it. They got me a nice little plaque with their hand prints on it. Oh, those are always- Oh, man. And my wife said that was a tree trying to get all three of them to get their
00:02:24
Speaker
had the
00:02:41
Speaker
insane, like, homemade projects. And I'm just thinking to myself, how have you trained these children to not, like, paint on every flat surface in your home, you know? And they keep, like, all of their, like, kinetic sand in the little bin and all of their little, you know, knick-knacks and stuff. And I'm just like, oh, my God. And, like, my kid is freaking bam-bam, you know? Like, he's, like, flipping tables and, like, throwing the freaking paintbrush and all the little characters. So, yeah, yeah. Getting three kids with paint on their hands, like, good on your wife for that.
00:03:10
Speaker
I had a pretty great Father's Day. Had some friends over and the kids went on the slip and slide that I bought them. My son finally used and then we took an hour drive to a little vintage toy store that I just discovered from the Major Brothers.
00:03:26
Speaker
Patreon group that somebody was up there and talked about it's called Eternia Dreams And this was like I mean probably were the coolest vintage toy store I've ever been to and I've never even heard of it It's in Maryland like on like kind of the Pennsylvania border, and I'll get into it more and during weekly purchases But they had everything I did a live video on the Facebook group from there and people were loving it a ton of wrestling stuff the kid loved it and Came back ordered some Chinese food sat out in the yard on a blanket ate some Chinese food and
00:03:54
Speaker
And I was like a pig and shit, man. Love me some Chinese food. And so pretty good day, pretty good day. So hopefully all the fathers out there
Social Media and Merchandise Updates
00:04:02
Speaker
had a great one. We have a big show for everybody. Not a ton of wrestling talk to get into, but we'll recap SmackDown Raw, NXT, and AEW, and then get into a ton of wrestling figure news from the week that was. Let's start off with our shout outs here. We want to let you guys know that you can find us on social media. Sheena is on Instagram, at Chick Foley.
00:04:22
Speaker
I run the Twitter account at Chick Foley Show, so hit us up there. We love to interact with you guys. You can buy our shirts at Pro Wrestling Tees dot com slash Chick Foley. I know Sheena that there is a sale going on for 4th of July weekend. They talked about it on the Major Brothers podcast.
00:04:40
Speaker
but I forgot the code. I'm sure it'll be plastered all over their website. So if you're thinking about ordering a shirt. Yeah, I'll post it. Yeah. If you're thinking about ordering a shirt, you know, wait like 24 hours from when you listen to this, because I think it runs Saturday to Monday of next week during the 4th of July weekend. So I think it's 20% off. The 4th of July weekend is next week. Right? Yeah. What is happening? Well, yeah, the boo comes home in July probably, right? Sometime, yeah. Hopefully in July, we'll get to see the heel husband back here.
00:05:11
Speaker
If you have any questions for us, you can shoot them over to questions at chickfolishow.com. Marco, did you get any office trivia for me at your email account? I did. Actually, I did. We'll handle that later in the show. I've never been more nervous for any segment on this show because I've literally, I've watched every episode of The Office probably 50 times. I'm not even exaggerating that number.
00:05:36
Speaker
So I don't want to stumble on these, so I will get to that later. The best way you can support our show, Sheena, is to check out our Patreon. It's chickfolishow.com. Tell them what goes on over there on our Patreon page.
Patreon and WWE Storylines
00:05:52
Speaker
Oh man, on Facebook we do lots of buying, selling, trading, figs. We always are looking out for each other, posting links when things go live. I mean, those Decade of Dominance figures just went live and we posted the link and, you know, people were able to grab those before they sold out. So that's really cool that everybody's always looking out for each other. People are online at different times because I know I'm not like, you know, I'm kind of disconnected at the moment. So I love getting my notifications from the Chick-fil-ish Joe because it keeps me in the know. But also over on Patreon,
00:06:21
Speaker
You can, um, one of our tiers allows you to come on with myself, Marco and HTK. And you can guest host a segment, which is really super cool. We've, um, a couple of our people that have guest hosted Marco being one of them and DJ being another. Marco is a part of our show now and DJ has his own podcast. So, you know, like I said, everything we touch turns to gold, baby. So there you go.
00:06:41
Speaker
We have a bunch of new Patreons. One of them is Jared Colby. He's gonna be guest co-hosting whatever segment he wants. He's on our legend tier. But we have 11 new Patreon subscribers this week, Sheena. I'm not gonna mess up any of these names. Here we go, okay? That'll be okay.
00:07:02
Speaker
John Damron, Jquads12, I don't think that's his real name. Andrew Baydala, already screwed up. Oh wow, a third one. Josh Basco, Allen Kilburg, Austin Lord. Oh, this one's gonna mess me up. Gregory Antunez, that's probably right.
00:07:21
Speaker
Braden Bergen. Oh man, damn. I'm going to have Sheena read these one week so you can mess them up. Sam Rosenthal, thank you for having a good name, Sam. David Azulay, Derek Woodward, and Mac Carpathian. Thank you guys for subscribing. It starts at $1 per month.

It's a bunch of stuff that I've accumulated over the weeks and months of this show, so stay tuned for that. But thank you guys for signing up. It's chickfolishow.com to do that.
00:08:05

Sheena's closet is filled with their gear, so check them out.
00:08:33
Speaker
Let's start with Smackdown and we saw the debut, I guess the main roster quote-unquote debut of Matt Riddle. Yeah, he came in and, excuse me, challenged AJ Styles. So AJ Styles was, you know, gloating around and made Daniel Bryan come in and put the strap on. Wait, hold on. I heard that. I was grabbing a beer and I heard that one. Let me back that up. Okay.
00:09:01
Speaker
AJ Styles made Daniel Bryan put the title around his waist. Daniel Bryan being the pure babyface that he is, he actually did it. And then he was like, you know, you should defend your title against Shorty G. And he was naming off all these people. And then all of a sudden he's like, oh, I'll defend it against the next person that comes back. I can't remember what he said, but then Matt Riddle's music hit. Matt Riddle comes down to the ring and they have a nice little interaction.
00:09:25
Speaker
Um, which was kind of like, there was like a little bit of a rain cloud over that whole thing, you know, because obviously we know it was like pre-taped. Um, and this was all before all the, um, speaking out stuff happened. So I don't know what this, what this really means for Matt Riddle, you know, if this is like the start to something really awesome, or if it was just like a flash in the pan and he may never be back.
00:09:49
Speaker
Yeah, we'll address all that stuff at the end of the show. I think we want to distract everybody from all the crap going on in the wrestling world right now, and I don't want to go off and drop a bunch of F-bombs until the end of the show when all the kids are definitely asleep.
00:10:04
Speaker
Let's not go out on a bad note. Let's bring it back up. It sounds like whoever Matt Riddle was accused of having wrongdoings with, he's filed lawsuits against her of stalking him, cyberbullying him, and all this kind of stuff.
00:10:20
Speaker
I mean, you know, the jury still lie out on all of that kind of stuff with Matt Riddle, but we'll get to that later. But a cool debut we'll see. I mean, I would have loved to see this happen, Sheena, with a crowd full of people. And they would have, you know, anytime somebody from NXT comes up, you get a huge pop. But, you know, who knows when that's going to happen? You can't hold off on it forever, right?
00:10:40
Speaker
I don't know, man, especially now things are things are ramping back up. And we've seen COVID actually has has grace made it it's made its debut back at the performance center. So I mean, it might be a while before we have we have audiences back for WWE. So
00:10:57
Speaker
Who knows, man? Yeah. So it's cool to see where they're going to go with him, I guess. Well, I mean, he had a match. He defeated AJ Styles and then now AJ Styles is defending the title again. So like, is he ever going to actually get it like a title shot or? Well, he made sure to make sure that it wasn't for the title because initially you thought it was for the title and then AJ was like, no, no, no, I'm not defending the title. And then.
00:11:22
Speaker
Yeah, then he won. I forget who came out, and then we're going to see a program. We know it's going to be like an AJ Styles program with somebody else. Who was it that came out?
00:11:34
Speaker
I don't know who AJ's name is. There was a bunch of people. Friday was like a whole week ago, dude. I know, right? In my world, that's like three weeks of time. Well, somebody will tell us. But hopefully Ritto, I would love to see a Ritto and AJ Styles program going forward there. We saw the return of Cape Fear, Bray Wyatt, whatever you want to call him, the file of the buzzards, cult leader, Bray Wyatt.
00:12:01
Speaker
I'm interested in this. Yeah, I actually love cult leader Bray Wyatt. I mean, it's a freaking crying shame that WWE did not do more with him when he was at his peak. I mean, he had such a cool character and just like with this character now, he should have been one of those things that was like a specialty item, but they would just every week, they would drag him out on Raw and SmackDown week after week after week and just let him
00:12:27
Speaker
that
00:12:44
Speaker
Gimmick where he's got, you know, mr. Rogers Undertaker. He are undertaker undertakers the topic of the week. Yeah But he's got this mr. Rogers gimmick He's got the you know the fiend and now he's got bright like Bray Wyatt the cult leader back or this is gonna be a one-off for Braun. Oh
00:13:00
Speaker
No, I like it. I think, well, we talked about it right before the show broke. Ryan Satin tweeted out that Extreme Rule. It's going to be called Extreme Rules Horror Movie or something like that. So I guess we're going to see a cinematic match between Bray and Braun, which I think is going to be awesome. And Marco freaking hit this thing out of the park last week. He said all these cinematic matches have been kind of themed in a certain way. We haven't had like a horror movie one. And this looks like it's going to be it, Marco. You got your wish, dude. I think this is going to be cool.
00:13:31
Speaker
Yeah, I can't wait. Uh, especially with the, uh, with co-leader Bray, uh, leading, cause I know people don't want to see the feed and do another horror type of thing since that, uh, hell in a cell debacle happened. But, uh, yeah, no, I'm glad they, uh, brought back the, uh, the co-leader Bray because I think that's up. That's what made him famous essentially. So, and that's, that's his connection with Braun. Obviously you had the Bray Wyatt, um, uh, Mr. Rogers characters, you have the feed.
00:13:58
Speaker
But Bray Wyatt, the co-leader, the one that brought Braun into this, he's the main person. So it's great that he's having a program with him. Not sure how long he's going to go. Me and Mike were going back and forth in our group chat about what
Bray Wyatt's Storyline Exploration
00:14:14
Speaker
they could do as far as a storyline with it. Maybe have him face all three. So the last person he faces is a fiend at SummerSlam or something like that. But I'm not sure if, in my eyes, a fiend's tarnished a little bit because of the
00:14:28
Speaker
The Goldberg loss, he got defeated so fast. It's like if he comes back, does he beat Braun or does Braun beat the Fiend and he keeps the title? How many chances is this guy going to get for the title at this point? They didn't say it was a title match at Extreme Rules or anything like that. Obviously it's going to be, but just going down that road, how do you plan out that hole?
00:14:51
Speaker
I mean it's cool because they have a history and I feel like you can really dig into that you know especially with like these cinematic experiences and with the the shows being pre-recorded you can really do some cool stuff but again I mean the chances of them doing it like I've given up on them doing anything awesome with cult leader Bray Wyatt I mean I would I would pull for him every time and then every time he would lose a big match
00:15:14
Speaker
You know, at a pay-per-view, I would just be like, son of a... I cannot believe they got me again, you know? They gave us Hell in a Cell. They went out Hell in a Cell when he won the title, that was it. Yeah. And they were like, we're all done. Yeah, well, I mean, the Fiend's been great. I'm talking about just like regular Bray Wyatt. Hell in a Cell. Sorry, Elimination Chamber, that's what it was. When he won the title the first time. A little buzzy buzz. Yes.
00:15:40
Speaker
No, I think this is cool. And I think you're right. I think this is going to set up a SummerSlam match against the Fiend. And I think the Fiend wins the title at SummerSlam. But I think Braun will get another win here. But it'd be cool to have him battle the cult leader, Bray. And then, I don't know, have someone dress up as the Fiend and beat the shit out of Braun and Bray and almost have a different personality. I don't know. There's a lot of ways you can go.
00:16:08
Speaker
I think it'll be cool. People were complaining about this being a horror movie match because of what's going on in the world, but it's like, come on, man. We can't even watch horror movies anymore? Right, yeah. Come on. Jesus. Listen, I'm very sensitive to topics that are going on in the world, but come on, people. We can't dissect everything.
00:16:31
Speaker
I know. It's just have fun. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Sonya Deville with a really great promo, even though she was wearing like a men's suit. She looked like a ventriloquist puppet. That's good. That's what she looked like. And I mean, I knew what she was going for, but did she have to go that extreme? Like she was wearing like the all black suit and she was like, you know, you have the Mandy Rose effect because you look like that and I look like this. I'm like,
00:16:59
Speaker
You got a hot body under there too, DeVille. You know you just happen to be wearing a freaking ventriloquist outfit. Yeah, just go to her Instagram. She's posting photos all the time on Instagram. Don't be fronting, you know? Yeah, exactly. Don't be trying to play like you're a prude now.
00:17:14
Speaker
uh heading over to raw we saw a awesome five-minute promo from edge that was probably better than any promo i've seen in wrestling in the last couple years and definitely did not sound like he was like reading off of a teleprompter just shows like you know how damn good edge is but
00:17:32
Speaker
Before we talk about that, if I told you like, Oh man, did you see, did you see raw last night? It was Ed, Randy Orton, the big show and MVP. Like what year would you think I was talking about? 2020 or 2010? It's just insane. But, uh, I mean, it's, I mean, they've been carrying the torch, I guess. What'd you think of that edge promo, Sheena?
00:17:57
Speaker
Oh, I loved it, man. Like you said, it just felt like it was from the heart, especially the little part that he was talking about. Christian, you know, you could tell like that that really like struck a chord like that resonated with him because he brought the emotion in that part when he was talking about Christian. What I was not expecting was to get a reference to Cowboy Bob's spunk.
00:18:18
Speaker
Um, and she said, you know, I'm going to make you wish that cowboy Bob was shooting blanks the night you were conceived. And I was like, Oh, okay. Well, you know, you never know what you're going to get when you watch wrestling. Yeah. That was, uh, that was a, that was a pretty deep cut there, man. I didn't never thought that was a deep cut, but, uh, yeah, talking about shooting blanks. So while, uh,
00:18:42
Speaker
But yeah, it was scary. It was a little like ominous at the end when he said, you know, you've awoken the rated R superstar, you know, get some sleep while you can, Randy. I was like, I kind of got like a little chill at my spine. I was like, oh, OK. And I liked that. That's when Edgewood was at his best, you know. I mean, I never liked him as a face. He was way better as a heel. And he was like born to be a heel. So on a different note, we saw Dolph Ziegler challenging Drew McIntyre for a title match in the most like nonchalant way
00:19:11
Speaker
possible. Where did Dolph Ziggler come from? Yeah, he got traded actually. He was part of the swap where AJ Styles went over to SmackDown, I believe Bobby Roode in
00:19:25
Speaker
Dolph Ziggler now on Raw. That was a trade. That's why Paul Haven's gone, right? Because that's the most uneven trade. One of the best wrestlers of all time versus Bobby Roode. Jesus Christ. The Rudolph tag team. Yeah. I mean, they should definitely have kept those guys together as a tag team because they're doing nothing now. But I guess Dolph gets one more main event. And I don't know what they're going to do with this. I mean, are they waiting for Brock to come back?
00:19:53
Speaker
I don't know. It's got to be somebody bigger than Dolph. I mean, I love Dolph and I think I mean, Dolph can go. Like, let there be no doubt that Dolph Ziggler can freaking go in the ring. But he's not going to take the title off McIntyre. Like, it's just not going to happen. Like, McIntyre has too much momentum. He's just too freaking charming.
00:20:13
Speaker
It's got to be some big brooding like he like Brock Lesnar like you said I mean that that's the type of guy we're talking about here That's gonna have to throw on McIntyre and I definitely don't think it's gonna happen Pre summer slam like if it happens, it's gonna happen at summer slam
00:20:28
Speaker
They're really going to try to wait until there's people in the crowd before they take the title off him, because he definitely deserves it. He's been killing it. I mean, it would be big time news and wrestling if Dolph won the title. I mean, that would shock. Yeah. When Jinder Mahal won the title, we had no idea that was going to happen. Exactly. That was pretty cool. So I mean, I would be all for just to shape things up, maybe have him win the title back on the next pay-per-view. I don't know. I mean, you can do anything you want right now. There's really no fucking rules. True. Just the ones in the crowd.
00:20:57
Speaker
No one's in the crowd. No one's even watching. Yeah Yeah, well, they did have they had quite a few people on SmackDown I was a little concerned, you know with the whole like Covid situation They had the people behind the plexiglass and then they still had a ring a ring of people around the ring and I was like, oh you guys know know the purpose of
00:21:22
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, especially with all the news coming out of the performance center with things going on. Yeah, dude. Yeah, not the best luck. But like I said, big show, making a random appearance on Raw confronts Randy Orton during the Best Wrestler Ever ceremony. I loved Ric Flair. I forget about Ric Flair being there, too.
00:21:41
Speaker
Yeah, Randy Orton. That was a little too macho Manny. No, my Ric Flair turns into Bill Cosby pretty quick. Yeah, it does, actually. Randy Orton is the best. Oh, yeah. Bill Cosby is definitely not somebody you want to bring up in this wrestling climate.
AEW vs NXT: Ratings and Expectations
00:22:02
Speaker
No. Yes, but yeah, definitely not. He's not the one. Yeah, no. We'll keep him out of the conversation.
00:22:10
Speaker
Oh my God, so yeah, that was pretty much it on raw. Oh, Naya attacked Charlotte, which kind of wrote in like a storyline injury to her shoulder that is an actual injury, but apparently it's not a shoulder injury. So she's got like, you know, she's got some sort of thing she's having surgery on, but she got written out because of a shoulder, but they haven't disclosed what it is she's having surgery on though. What plastic surgery is going to happen now? I don't know. The last time she had a ruptured boob,
00:22:39
Speaker
Her lips have grown 10 times as big since you first started wrestling. Hey, I think the more you see yourself on TV, the more you probably pick yourself apart. I would not want to have to go out there half naked every week. You'd be like, oh shit, I ate that whole Papa John's pizza and I got raw on Monday? God dang it.
00:22:59
Speaker
No way. Well, let's go over to AEW because I actually watched that on like NXT. Pretty good show. This is the send-off show to Fighter Fest next week. Okay, can we talk about real quick Fighter Fest, how they're advertising it as like you're getting it as a free pay-per-view. I'm like, you're putting it on Dynamite. It is not a free pay-per-view. Stop trying to make me feel better about spending $50 for freaking... I hate these. Don't stop this.
00:23:27
Speaker
I mean, NXT is doing it with, I guess they're bringing back Great American Bash for an episode of, don't use these themed- You're wasting it. Yeah, don't use these, give us something, even if it's on the network or if it's on USA, I don't care, just make it a different night. Because some of these matches could have just been Dynamite matches, there's nothing special about any of them.
00:23:50
Speaker
Yeah, dude, it's ridiculous if you want to give us like a free pay-per-view. I'm all for that I'm all for a cool Saturday night free pay-per-view like give me that but to call to call this like you're like doing me a favor to watch dynamite on Wednesday night like I already freaking do like no No, no, you're not pulling the wool over my eyes
00:24:11
Speaker
And pretty surprising. We don't talk too much about the ratings here on the show. But NXT beat AEW this week, 787,000 to 633,000. And AEW is usually around like eight or 900,000. So I don't know what.
00:24:26
Speaker
I mean, the main event was pretty pathetic, just Orange Cassidy and Jericho having a face-off, which we'll get to in a little bit. A pretty big drop for AEW, I don't really know what. Their numbers have been up and down. I mean, they're usually winning most weeks. NXT is usually on the losing end, but NXT is staying pretty solid around 750, 800,000 people watching.
00:24:50
Speaker
AEW every week is just jumping. I don't know what it is. I mean, I watched it every week on Sling. I don't know what is going on there, but I don't know if their fans are just not tuning in for certain weeks or what. I mean, the same people wrestling. I mean, there was obviously a lot of accusations about some of the big name stars at AEW, and a lot of those folks weren't on the show this week. So maybe that's it. Yeah, that could be. That's from a little boycotting going on there because of the
00:25:19
Speaker
What's going on? True. And I think, I mean, honestly, I think right now people are just, um, just busy doing other things and trying to figure out life. You know what I mean? Um, and watching, watching, we're always trying to figure out life, Shina. True. True. But watching wrestling, is that like the bottom of the totem pole? I think for a lot of people, you know,
00:25:38
Speaker
Wednesday, eight o'clock is the best time to just figure out life, you know? It's the middle of the week. You know, you got to figure out how the rest of the week is going to go this weekend. Yeah. You've made it through the first three days, which in 2023 days is a lot. Um, you know, and so you got to figure out how you're going to conquer the next like four or five days.
00:25:59
Speaker
We saw a fighter fest press conference between Cody and Jack Swagger How was I miss that? I don't know when that wasn't the show Well, were you aware that the belt wasn't finished? The TNT title is not that's not the complete design because they brought it up again
00:26:18
Speaker
Oh, yeah, he brought it up and he like drilled at home. He was like, you know, like Cody was being himself, you know, just all like valiant and stuff. And he was like, you know, this title, it's like so, so important. Yada, yada, yada. He's like, and you know, the design doesn't even matter. I mean, we know this isn't the finished design with everything going on. Stop bringing that up.
00:26:39
Speaker
the the
00:26:56
Speaker
he said all that, which I was just like, dude, like it's fine. Like we're over it. Like you didn't have to bring it back up. We're, we're, we're past that. Um, but he did. And it was just really funny that he had felt like he had to defend it, but I mean, he did a good job. I mean, he does his like Cody spin on it and makes you feel like it's all important and stuff. So he did say one thing that was funny. He's like, I'm not all about like cosplay wrestling and you know, I'm about real sports wrestling.
00:27:22
Speaker
and you know Dustin sitting next to him in a suit with like his face painted like this war paint on him like oh my god yeah well okay that's it that's um i mean we'll run down that call i guess we can we have to run it down this week right because
00:27:38
Speaker
Are we even going to do predictions for that? I don't want to do pretty. No, I don't think it's not. It's not worthy. It's not a regular. It's a regular show. That's a peasant. That's a peasant. Paper view. It's a peasant. Paper view. I like that. It's for it's free for losers. So it's not, you know, what I'm talking about. Yeah. Give us the hotspots. What else happened to AEW Marco? You had the Luchasaurus versus Wardlow match, which is actually not bad because you watch it, Phil. Yeah, I just watched it before we started. It was good. Yeah, it was a really good match.
00:28:08
Speaker
Oh, Britt, Britt Baker took Tony out of friendship time out, so now they're friends again. So that's that's a sweet update that we have there. Sheida, Sheida and Penelope, they're having a match for the title. That brawl was pretty that was pretty sick. What else happened there? We already talked about the press conference. Oh, we're talking about Jack. Yeah, Jack Swagger. We didn't talk about he actually showed up. So like the
AEW and NXT Match Highlights
00:28:35
Speaker
whole point of the
00:28:36
Speaker
the the
00:28:56
Speaker
just
00:29:14
Speaker
Brandy did nothing, which is kind of funny. She just stood there. She just stood there and just, you know, had him on the shoulder. She's just happy to be there. She's just happy to be there now. She didn't defend her husband. Listen, you throw a cup of anything in Seth's face, I'm throwing bows, bitch, okay? Of course, yeah. Like, I will not know.
00:29:31
Speaker
No, especially I mean another woman. I mean, I don't be throwing bows on a dude You know, I mean it says gonna fit himself if it's a dude, you know But uh, yeah some some chick comes in like, you know slaps Seth or like, you know, throw something in his face. No Yeah
00:29:45
Speaker
all hands on deck she's gonna be she's gonna be on every episode she'll be on every episode of dynamite until it's canceled every episode for no reason or she came out when someone got hurt like I forget who got her they were like Dustin Rhodes or something yeah
00:30:05
Speaker
I'll never forget that nightmare, the nightmare, whatever it was, a nightmare collective, like a group she was going to start with that guy. Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah, I got rid of that shit real quick. The old Rhea Ripley head on there.
00:30:20
Speaker
Oh my god, whatever happened to her, yeah. And it sounds like Scorpio Sky is going to be a solo, a singles wrestler now, but he will still be part of SCU, which is good. I've been screaming for that, but he was on AEW Dark this week, or whatever is going to air next week. I don't know which one it is whenever they tape it, but he's one of my favorite guys in AEW. I'm hoping he can get a pretty solid push. I love to see him face off against Cody for that title.
00:30:47
Speaker
Um, but I, I messaged you guys because there was a, there was a tag team match between, I mean, it was, it, there was like a 15 minute segment that had like eight tag teams involved in it. It was really impressive how they did. But I mean, it was, uh, um, the, the revival against, uh, SCU and then the Lucha bro showed up and then
00:31:08
Speaker
The young bucks came in and saved them. The Sherman Williams guys, the butcher and the blade came out. Oh yeah, the butcher and the blade. Yeah, they came out and stole, not Cody, they stole FTR's freaking car or whatever. Yeah, they turned around, then the freaking Lucha brothers were back there.
00:31:26
Speaker
So I guess we're going to get a eight man tag team match at Fighter Fest. So they're definitely hinting heavily at the revival against the young bucks. Who knows when we'll see that. But that's the match everyone wants to see.
00:31:42
Speaker
I mean, they have a ton of tag teams on AEW. I mean, I can name 10 of them in a row, and it's great. I mean, I love tag team wrestling, and they're doing it way better than WWE does. But I mean, they have currently, in the title match, it's Kenny Omega and Hangman Page, who should definitely both be two or better wrestlers in the world against the best friends who are just like a goofy, like, just do nothing for, like, I can name seven tag teams in AEW that are better than those guys that should be like,
00:32:10
Speaker
You know, I guess I just I don't I don't know what they're doing. I mean, you never know now now that FDR is there, you know, they might like move on to just like the official tag team. Maybe they'll split Kenny and hang men up.
00:32:23
Speaker
I mean, they've been hinting at that for a while, too, just like the Bailey and Sasha thing. But I guess we didn't even talk about that. Bailey and Sasha, they did a cool little promo in the back where Sasha got her face like, you know who I want to challenge for the title? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oscar. I mean, they know what we want. They know what we want. Yeah, they're both going to be.
00:32:45
Speaker
But that would be cool, though, if they were the tag team champions and both of them were the women's champion. That would be awesome. That would be really cool. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, a decent episode of AEW Fighter Fest is over the next couple of weeks. So watch for that. And I did not watch NXT. So I'll listen to you guys talk about that. How was NXT, Marco? I thought it was good. It's a really awesome match. It's on the Cameron Grimes and Damian Priest, Cameron Grimes.
00:33:15
Speaker
actually attacked Damian Priest at his car, like he pretty much like the he didn't show what happened, but you see Damian Priest like in between his car door. So they had to tape his ribs up and stuff like that. And actually, I think she loves Cameron Grimes as well, right? Are you? Yeah, I like Cameron Grimes. He's awesome. Yeah, he's actually really good. He's got the mic too as well, which is which is awesome. But yeah, he ended up beating Damian Priest, obviously, because he was already injured. So they had to like throw that out there.
00:33:45
Speaker
So we had this conversation before Sheena wasn't on the show. It was me, you, and Mike, Phil. And we spoke about what big guy could you put Karrion Kross against? And that was Bronson Reed. We totally forgot about Bronson Reed. And that match happened on Wednesday. And no, Karrion Kross pretty much squashed. Destroy him. Destroy him.
00:34:07
Speaker
They made a big deal about Bronson Reed coming out like oh my god Bronson Reed, you know, it was like the week before or two weeks before, you know Yeah, and then all of a sudden carrying cross just comes out and freaking like squashes him Which I was pretty impressed that he like like suplexed his ass like over his head I could I was like, oh my god. That is a lot of humanity flying through the air. Um, but yeah carrying cross Okay, the other thing about carrying carrying
00:34:33
Speaker
Oh. No, no, someone, our buddy Luchadad tweeted us about, because they heard us making fun of Karrion. Karrion is the remains of a dead animal. Yeah, it's like the flesh of a dead animal. And Karrion Kross actually liked the tweet we mentioned. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I just hope we didn't listen to the episode, because he's scary. I don't want him coming for me. You know what I mean? It's not the sea, though. It's not the same. They had to put a K there. Yeah. Well, neither is Kross. I mean, come on.
00:35:02
Speaker
Listen, it's 2020. Moms don't spell their kids' names like they're supposed to be spelled. There's too many extra Y's and Z's and all that kind of stuff. So Karian, yeah, it makes sense that it would be. You know, yeah, Karian. Friend of the podcast, Karian Krosnow. Is his...
00:35:19
Speaker
entrance gonna be like that like every time i mean because you know like it's like one of those things like it's like the demon you know i mean like it's really badass when you see it but it's like you don't want to see that every week you know i love it with all the smoke and scarlet coming out and like doing the thing and looking very like rob zombie esque you know but like after like if it's week after week after week of that i'm gonna be like
00:35:41
Speaker
I'm
00:36:00
Speaker
You know, as the other guys coming out to the rain, just sneak out and beat the shit out of him or something or pop up somewhere. Yeah. I mean, I feel you that would be cool to be saved for like big time matches or something. Make it feel important because it is it is a killer entrance. No, no play on words intended. It is. It is awesome. But yeah, I just feel like I don't need to see that every week because it is going to lose a little bit of its shine.
00:36:24
Speaker
Yeah, save it for pay-per-view. We saw Rhea Ripley defeating Aaliyah with Robert Stone. Yeah, I don't know where this is going. Robert Stone wants her to join the Robert Stone brand, and then she beat him up multiple times, and then obviously she beat Aaliyah. But yeah, I don't know what they're trying to do with this.
00:36:47
Speaker
And we saw Keith Lee win the winner-take-all to face Adam Cole for title for title match, right? I missed this. Yeah, I missed this. Marko, I've take this. Oh, my god. Obviously, you have all three of them in a match together. It's going to be great. They did my favorite spot ever, where Finn Balor's in the corner doing the point. And then you see Keith Lee rise up. They did that again. That's the greatest thing ever. It is. They don't do it all the time. But when they do it, it's awesome.
00:37:15
Speaker
Um, but they had the finish of that match is really, really good. Um, but yeah, after the match, you had, um, you had, uh, Adam Cole come out and, uh, confront Keith Lee. Um, so it looks like double champ, whoever wins out of that match is, uh, taking both titles. So I asked you, yeah, I asked you Keith Lee becoming a new champion or are they giving?
00:37:40
Speaker
Adam Colley, why would they give him the North American championship? That's my only- Because he's the first, it's like a full circle moment, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's possible.
00:37:49
Speaker
Or does he lose because he had the bell for so I mean, honestly, I feel like at this point, I feel like it's safer to allow Adam Cole to lose, you know, I mean, because he doesn't have anything to prove at this point. I mean, he's a long time defending or reigning defending champion. And I mean, I feel like Keith Lee really needs that. I think that would be awesome. He needs the rub.
00:38:13
Speaker
Yeah. Speaking of Keith, Keith Caldwell just signed up for Patreon. So Keith, if you're listening, thank you for signing up. We got people signing up for Patreon during the show, live during the show. Please. I can't believe it. No, I'm with you. I don't know. I think Keith Lee's the guy. Are they going to do this at the Great American Bash thing or is this going to be on a random episode of NXT?
00:38:39
Speaker
Okay, no, he's not gonna lose the title I'm just a random fucking episode of NXT. Come on. You never know Anything could happen to the WWE they always say that yeah, let's say announce it first Which they like to do they announced things before they don't like to keep things a secret and that
00:38:57
Speaker
that episode that we did like a million moons ago when we were talking about what the ways that WWE could improve, we specifically said that they should do more title changes on regular TV, you know? I mean, that's... Yeah, they don't do that. I mean, I used to have it on Raw in the Attitude Era, like once in a while. Oh, yeah. Almost like too much, you know? Yes. Like when was the last time they changed the title on a non-paperview? Seriously. Yeah. I can't even think about it. Been a minute. Probably at movie attack. Oh, Apollo Crews, maybe?
00:39:26
Speaker
24-7 champion. 24-7, yeah.
00:39:30
Speaker
How great would it be if Bobby Lashley won that fucking 24-7 title? They'll never do it. He would never lose. Yeah, he would never lose. And just legitimize it. Just make him not a fucking joke. Because you can't make it a joke forever. The joke has already gone stale three times over.
00:39:57
Speaker
Also, we didn't talk about on Raw how everyone seems to want to be putting people's eyeballs on the stairs now. That was how Raw ended. Like, everybody was trying to push each other's eyeballs. I mean, is that a match to Extreme Rules? Like eyeballs on a stair match? On a stair match. Eyeballs on a pole match. You have to be honest with that, totally. We have to blame him for that, I guess.
00:40:26
Speaker
Yeah, for the W.W.V, the eyeballs on the stair. Yeah. But yeah, that was actually pretty decent. I was expecting something else to happen, but it didn't. So I'm hoping we're not going to get another Ray Mysterio versus Seth Rollins matcher. It might be like a tag match, maybe Dominic and the Mysterios versus the the disciples, the disciples, maybe. Who knows? Are they going to turn this could heal or what? What is happening here? What is the holdup? Just we turn it here. It's it's happened. It's a slow burn. Yeah.
00:40:56
Speaker
How many weeks can you feature Dominic on fucking TV? It has no inflection in his voice whatsoever. It's been like five weeks now. Hi, I'm Dominic. Dad, let's go. We've got to beat these guys now. I'm Dominic. I'm mad at you. Oh my God. The good thing is we know he could take some dumps, because he went toe to toe with Brock Lesnar. Yeah, he went toe to toe with Brock Lesnar. And he's participated in a ladder match.
00:41:25
Speaker
You know, yeah, I mean at the chops the guy's got he's got it. He's got the stereo. Yeah I'm still not convinced he's a Mysterio. I mean Is his mom like a linebacker or what? Like I don't understand I don't I mean, how is he how is that kid raise kid? Booyaka booyaka, you know, you never know
00:41:51
Speaker
Yeah. All right, I guess that's all for in the side of the ring. Let's go outside the squared circle. This is brought to you by our friends at Collar and Elbow. You can use code CHIC for 10% off there. They have some super, super soft shirts, and they have that Shad gas bar shirt that our buddy Zach Egolf is always rocking at the gym with his beautiful muscles. So check that out. Beautiful band.
00:42:18
Speaker
Biggest news of the year, maybe. Undertaker retired. The biggest news of the decade, I think. Of three decades. Of my lifetime. Wow. You guys are taking it away. You guys sound like a bleacher report. Undertaker retiring from wrestling. We saw the last episode of The Last Ride and a very good well-done episode.
The Undertaker's Retirement Musings
00:42:40
Speaker
It was cool to see. And Undertaker basically said, I don't have any desire to get back into the ring.
00:42:46
Speaker
Um, until, until the Saudis give me like, uh, a billion dollars. I mean, how, how often, I mean, how much do you, I mean, do you think he, I mean, not how much I can't even talk. I mean, what are the odds that he comes back or does not come back? Like what do you, what do you think? I mean, he did not, he did not 150%
00:43:06
Speaker
say like I'm never coming back because he knows in his heart of hearts like you know the tug is always gonna be there you know and if Vince was ever in a pinch like he would he would show up and show out for Vince you know but I do feel like at the end of that series from what I gathered from the series which it was just phenomenal top to bottom I loved it I'm excited because I'm gonna get to watch it again once Seth gets home um but from what I gathered he's content he's happy he is in a place
00:43:35
Speaker
where he feels like he felt okay to go out on his own terms and I love that and I feel like the Boneyard match was such a perfect like swan song ending for his for his career especially with where he's at I don't feel like he needs to keep like they kept referencing chasing the dragon like he doesn't need to keep chasing the dragon because at his age like he just cannot do the things that he thinks that in his mind he can do like his body and his his head are not
00:44:04
Speaker
on the same wavelength, you know what I mean? So I feel like this was perfect. It was like tied it up nicely with a little bow and he can ride off into the sunset with no regrets. Yeah. Yeah. I talked about family too a lot as well. Like, um, just being the undertaker for 30 plus years, um, and not being able to, um, but, uh, yeah, just like him, basically, you know, like he feels like he missed out on a lot of stuff.
00:44:33
Speaker
Have you watched the episode?
00:44:34
Speaker
his brother, his brother passing away. Oh, that was, I did not, I don't know if I had heard that and I just- No, that was not public knowledge at all. Oh my gosh, that was horrible. It was literally hours before he recorded the Boneyard match, you guys. He got the news, he was in the car with Triple H, I think. Yeah, Triple H and AJ. Yeah. Bruce Prichard, maybe, they were going to- Yeah, maybe it was Bruce, I don't think it was AJ. But yeah, he was in the car with them and they got that call and I'm like, oh my God, what a freaking,
00:45:04
Speaker
like certified professional that he like still went out and like he you know he made mention of how like you know he got the news that his brother died then he had to go do like a boneyard match which was just like i mean i'm sure that was just totally gut wrenching you know like it was just like the the the feel of death all around and like being buried and all that like yeah it's absolutely unbelievable yeah just missing out on stuff like you get you can tell like she like sheena said you can tell he's uh content and like he spoke well kobe brian a lot too
00:45:50
Speaker
anything. Like how could you top the bone yard? Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, you gotta think like he is, he is like the Kobe Bryant of WWE. You know what I mean? Like he's worked his entire life. Like, you know, he's devoted his entire life to WWE. Just, just as if Cody or Kobe, Kobe devoted his whole life to the Lakers, you know, and
00:45:54
Speaker
Oh no.
00:46:08
Speaker
He he saw like how quickly things can be over, you know, and that work is not everything like, you know, your job is not everything. So to have that time with his daughter and his wife and all of that is just like, you know, that that's that's where it's important. And, you know, he saw that his brother died. Right. You know, so life is not promised. And I thought that was really just a good message for everybody to be able to like, you know,
00:46:31
Speaker
Take from that but I mean there was so many cool things like the the 2019 promo that he cut in MSG where we were like I had to go back and watch it because
00:46:40
Speaker
Someone made mention to it and I was like, Oh yeah, that was kind of like a weird promo, but we didn't realize at the time that he was like filming the documentary. And that was kind of like his like saying goodbye to MSG, which I like, you know, after what we saw in the documentary of how he like, you know, loved MSG and just felt so much respect for all the people that had like worked there and like all of his idols worked there. It was just such an endearing moment that we saw with Undertaker, you know, of him having like his, his heroes working there and then him getting to go work there.
00:47:10
Speaker
Um, super cool. And then seeing his picture underneath Elvis's picture like.
00:47:14
Speaker
I don't know. I just thought the whole thing was just so amazing. Yeah. Sorry to interrupt you. It was so well done. And I think he's definitely coming back. I don't think we've seen the last of the Undertaker. I don't think you can win your last match. I don't think that's even allowed. But I was talking about, and people disagree with me in the Inner Circle group chat, that I think when he goes in the Hall of Fame, he's going in by himself. And we were getting like,
00:47:44
Speaker
overload I mean it's gonna be just just I mean you can't I can't put Undertaker in the same year as the fucking bushwhackers like yeah yeah Mike Mike didn't agree with me do you yeah yeah I didn't I didn't really chime in on that but I agree with you I think it's gonna be a solely dedicated like Undertaker weekend I think yeah like just have like five people six people talking you know
00:48:09
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, you're right. It almost has to be. I mean, the more I think about it, my knee-jerk reaction was like, no way. Because Stone Cold and all the big names that have went into the Hall of Fame have all shared their spotlight. But I mean, nobody has had the longevity and just the career dedication, I guess, to WWE that Undertaker has had. So yeah. I mean, I think that would be really freaking cool if he got his own
00:48:38
Speaker
Undertaker weekend you know and it was literally just like the whole Hall of Fame night was just people talking about Undertaker and then him going up and giving his speech and stuff and like how cool would it be like you know like Vince I mean who else is gonna induct him Vince you know yeah like so yeah like I think to take away from I feel like you have like a bunch of people induct him so instead of having a bunch of people get inducted that night like you have like
00:49:02
Speaker
Stone Cold, you have Mick Foley, you have the Rock. You can't have the Bellas standing up there next to the Undertaker. No, no, you have all the people that were integral in his life. So like, obviously no Paul Bearer. Michelle McCool. Yeah, Michelle McCool. Maybe throw up like a video of Paul Bearer talking about him and how they met and all that stuff. And then like, you know, the last person inducted will be, should be Vince McMahon anyway. But yeah, definitely like Stone Cold Mick Foley, the Rock.
00:49:29
Speaker
Like any of the guys he had rivalries with, his wife, maybe. Maybe AJ Styles still on there, since that undertaker's daughter is a huge fan.
00:49:39
Speaker
have age age, she wanted him to win. How about the biggest takeaway from this? Michelle McCool's real last name is McCool. That's her name. That's her actual name. Yeah. She sounds, she was born to be a wrestler. That's a cool last name. Yeah. Oh no. I couldn't care about her last name. I just kept looking at her abs. I was like, Jesus, Michelle, do you eat carbs?
00:50:04
Speaker
What is happening? Actually, the takeaway from the last round, they were talking about the AJ Styles promo that he cut about on her. And she wanted to like, she was like, she got a little like, she got a little salty about it. He's supposed to be a family friend of ours.
00:50:26
Speaker
Flapping his gums about me right now What about what about AJ getting the cajones to go right over the boss's head and call taker directly? Oh, yeah After he saw yeah after he saw taker on the stone cold sessions Yeah, he called him instead of like asking Vince like hey, could we set this mania matchup? He called taker directly and asked him. I thought that was What are you gonna do, you know
00:50:50
Speaker
I know what he told him. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. What are they going to do? Um, but yeah, he told him no. And then, uh, Vince, they like figured it out. And then Vince told him like, Oh, he's going to put this young guy over in Tennessee over and you know, he's not going to do the match. I mean, obviously AJ knew it was a rib, but that was pretty funny.
00:51:07
Speaker
That was cool. Yeah, I definitely recommend going back and watching. They were so well done all those episodes. There's five different episodes, the Undertaker thing, and just, you know, I mean. Well, we kind of got a hint at what's next for him. You know, I think like we saw him training guys at the Performance Center. That was cool.
00:51:23
Speaker
I mean, you see all the guys that ran that room. It was like Babatunde and Keith Lee and Bronson Reed and the big guys. Yeah, it's like all the big guys. So I think, I mean, that's a really cool spot for him to be able to share his knowledge and give back to the business and everything, you know, because, you know, he loves to.
00:51:40
Speaker
like give back to the business business that whole segment with Randy Orton back in like 2002 when he let Randy Orton get some offense in on him and Vince was pissed and Undertaker was like you know no you know I'm giving back to the business like I wanted to get this guy I wanted to make this guy a little bit you know so that's that's takers whole philosophy
00:52:04
Speaker
Uh, now it's time for, uh, COVID mania chat here. Uh, new segment on the show. Um, hopefully this doesn't, uh, this is a one week segment here. Uh, it sounds like, uh, there's been a bunch of different people, uh, that have caught the Corona virus at the performance center. It sounds like our good friend Renee young was one of them. And, uh, this has called that you called that really called. Yeah. So the group chat, um, yeah, he did. We talk about, uh, Moxley.
00:52:34
Speaker
He said, oh, I got a second exposure, second exposure. And I'm like, I'm like, obviously it's Renee. Just joking around.
COVID-19's Impact on Wrestling
00:52:41
Speaker
Yeah. Well, where else is it from? Well, you wouldn't think it was Renee, though. That's the whole thing. Maybe like someone from AEW or someone else he came in contact with. Next morning, Zach pulls up, he goes, hey, Marco called it. Renee Young comes on Twitter. Yeah, I got COVID and my show got canceled. I'm like, holy crap, I called it. But that's the I mean, you don't want.
00:53:01
Speaker
You don't want to wish that on anybody, but there was the obvious choice. If he was with what's going on at WWE right now with, with all departments, not just the poor performance center for what I read, it's all departments. So from the top to the bottom, one or two people that are.
00:53:20
Speaker
that have contracted it or tested positive. This is bad. This is first hand coming from a guy who just had a coronavirus test. Yeah, Marco just had a test and he was telling us how wicked terrible it was. He does not have coronavirus. He is negative and he wasn't even there for coronavirus symptoms, but because he was at a medical facility, they have to go ahead and give you
00:53:44
Speaker
give you a test, but yeah. Yeah, not pleasant at all, I'll tell you that much. But yeah, hopefully, I mean, all those people that are doing it, I tip my hat to you, because they have to do it every day. I'm not sure what type of coronavirus tests they're doing. They can't be doing that every day. They have to be doing some sort of. Supposedly they test it every day. Yeah, but there has to be different tests beside the nose. Oh, maybe. I would say maybe like a hair or blood type test or something. Yeah. Urine. Yeah.
00:54:12
Speaker
Blood and urine. Bob Orton. Bob Orton. Oh, my God. Some of these Bob Orton references. I don't know why we're joking about COVID right now. It's horrible. No, we've got to keep it light. At this point, it's Marco. It's a running joke. It is freaking July. OK, if I can't laugh about COVID in July when this shit has been plaguing my life since freaking March, like I got at least I mean, what else? What's the other alternative? I'm crying a corner.
00:54:42
Speaker
And that is very true. But yeah, so yeah, across all departments, it's looking like, I don't know what the future of the WWE is. But it's not looking. It's not pretty. It's not healthy. It's not healthy. It's going to be three hours of Dominic on Raw pretty soon.
00:54:59
Speaker
I can't wait. That's great. He's going to have his mind guys over. Yeah. Dominic promo coming up here. 20 minute Dominic promo turtles. Yeah. So Moxley's defending his belt against Brian cage in a couple of weeks at fighter fast.
00:55:15
Speaker
I mean, that's a pretty tight timeline. If he's doing some self-quarantine, I mean, considering thinking he doesn't have it, I mean, even still, I mean, two weeks, that's like the minimum. How would you stay away? If Renee Young has it right now, obviously she has to be quarantined. But if you live with someone that has, I mean, are you just, there would be no way to not get it, I would assume. Well, I know, I have a friend who she,
00:55:42
Speaker
She has two kids, it's her and her husband and she got like flu like symptoms but she obviously she couldn't get in to get a test because this was like during like peak, you know, COVID. I mean, she literally like locked herself in a room and like away from her kids and away from her husband and like, you know, only went out to get stuff whenever, you know, they weren't in there and then she sanitized everything and like it was like a, you know, no, no contact situation in the house. But yeah, she basically like hoarded herself up in one of her daughter's bedrooms
00:56:12
Speaker
That's that's gonna be tough. She's it sucks. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I mean you're like stuck in a stuck in a bedroom You know like you know if you think about you're like, oh, it'll be cool. I just watch Netflix But we used like like 10 hours of watching Netflix. You're like, oh god, you know I mean, I just I could spend 10 hours scrolling through Netflix before I find anything to watch. That's what I use Oh, yeah, that's that's me. Yeah, that's me all day. God. I get more enjoyment just screw with all the different movies I want to watch and actually I
00:56:38
Speaker
watching them. The Netflix movies, they just, the trailer that pops up shows you the whole movie. So you don't have to watch. He doesn't have to watch, yeah. He does at the end, okay, cool. Looks like Alexa Bliss is getting her own podcast. Finally some good news in 2020. I didn't know about this either. Yeah, it's called uncool. It's going to be obviously be on the WWE podcast network.
00:57:04
Speaker
It says it's going to have a lot of celebrities, a lot of, uh, obviously WWE superstars are there, being interviewed and stuff like that. So more of like a freeform type of thing. Uh, not so probably more like the, uh, the new days podcast or they just like do different topics. They have, they've been having a little bit of guests on there, but hers seems like it's going to be more guest heavy. So it's going to be her and someone else sort of like, um,
00:57:28
Speaker
Corey Graves after the bell. Yes. I got it right after the bell because I think we like butchered him last week Yeah, so yeah, he has a lot about wrestlers, but she's gonna have like celebrities cuz her boyfriend is What's his name? She's dating yeah, she's dating some like
00:57:48
Speaker
Do they used to date some pop stars back in the day? I can't his name is escaping right now, dude. They used to date pop stars back. Yeah. Hold on. Let me let me. Oh, don't say Ryan Cabrera as her Ryan Cabrera. Yes. Oh, my. Oh, yes. I'm assuming his connections. You get the get a lot of people on that podcast. But yeah.
00:58:12
Speaker
Ryan Cabrera is dating us. Wow. He's my age. Sorry, guys, out there. 37. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, if you had any hopes of dating Alexa Bliss out there, fully fam, she's taken by Ryan Cabrera. Sorry. Oh, no. Maybe I can date Jesse McCartney now. She's 28. He's 37. Good for you, Alexa.
00:58:38
Speaker
Uh, it'd be cool if she had like, um, like did like all, like had like current female superstars, former female superstars, and just did like, you know, kind of like, uh, interview, like with all, I just made like a female only podcast and just like, you know, we could hear from Lita one week or like Molly Holly one week and like, you know, hear some cool stories from when they were. It could be called no boys allowed. Yeah. But it'll be stupid celebrities that the WWE is trying to promote and it won't be anything.
00:59:07
Speaker
Yeah. Cool. OK. Yeah. Not to be negative about it. I mean, I like Alexa Bliss a lot, but I just feel like they're not going to use it correctly. Yeah. And Marco, so you said going on the next thing really quick, I did not know this either. You said the greatest wrestling match ever was done in one take? Yeah. What? So Edge was on a busted open radio doing an interview, and he said it was done in one shot. They did the whole match.
00:59:35
Speaker
and they went back and did like, they went and did like different camera angles. So like, so like maybe like the headlocks, like remember that? Remember they did like that? Yeah, where it was underneath. Yeah, like that type of stuff. They went back and shot a few things, but the actual match was done once and that was it.
00:59:51
Speaker
Oh, we'll see. Yeah, I knew I knew the man. I think I knew that. I think I knew that the match was like all one match, but they went back and filmed like, like you said, like little spot angles. Yeah, a little different. But a lot of people thought it was like spliced. It was like eight hours a day. Oh, no. It was 45 minutes. It was like 45 to 50 minutes. Cool. They did it all. And then they went back and redid. So I think then he got injured on the retakes.
01:00:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's the thing that's really a bummer is that he, you know, on that like B roll that they were filming, they that's when he got hurt. So that's what the whole match unscathed like that. He said they watched it back and there was some things they didn't like in it. So they go, let's reshoot this. We can reshoot this real quick. And then when they went back and we shot it, that's when the injury happened. It's a psychopath. He had a perfect he they legit at the greatest wrestling match. Yeah, they went back and he got injured. Yeah.
01:00:42
Speaker
How long do we think he's out from that? I should ask the wife how long, like a torn, when she tells me how long people are out from like injuries, it's always like, you know, cause she doesn't deal with like professional athletes. It's just normal, like a 50 year old guy that tears his tricep playing basketball. It's like a two year injury. Yeah. And then edge comes back like three weeks later. Yeah.
Editing and Perception in WWE
01:01:05
Speaker
Oh, okay. Cool. Uh, but it's probably, I mean, I was, I would assume he's probably out for a good six months.
01:01:11
Speaker
I just totally made that number up. You saw the photos that he put on Instagram? I think it was like a few months, yeah. I think it's just going to be like a few months. I think he could potentially be back for SummerSlam, maybe. Oh, Jesus Christ. Tommaso Ciaba came back in less than a year after a next surgery. Yeah, extremely debilitating next surgery, yeah.
01:01:35
Speaker
Yeah, well, just don't have him do any clotheslines. It'd be fun. Yeah. You have on here Liv Morgan match edited down to a squash match on SmackDown? Yeah, did you hear about this at all? No, I did not hear about this. So her match with Natalia, so I'm not sure if you guys noticed this, Natalia. Her manager is going to be Lana. Did you guys notice this at all? That's going to be the thing, like that's her new manager. But so I guess they edited like down to like, because that match was really short.
01:02:04
Speaker
And she got no offense whatsoever. So I guess on WWE, their Twitter, they posted stills of the match. And it was offensive moves from Liv. Like drop kicks and stuff like that. Never happened in the match. They took them out. And she retweeted it and said, oh, thank you for adding stills of my offense in this match. Or something like, just kind of like a sarcastic, like, acting to comment to them. And I was like, damn, they can really do that now. They could make someone that's shitty,
01:02:33
Speaker
look really shitty or some of that shitty look really good in a match just by going back and spicing it up a little bit. Yeah, if you don't renew your contract, we'll just make it look like you're losing to Hornswoggle every week. We'll just end them in there. Yeah, CGI, the ghost of Hornswoggle to beat you in piss. Or you can be like in McMahon's Kiss Your Ass Club every week or something. Yeah, that'd be fun. That's funny, but yeah, that's actually, I'm gonna start looking out for that now.
01:03:03
Speaker
every like Smackdown and Rada just to see like how they're like how they change up well you can kind of tell a little bit when you're watching it like the the cuts are kind of some of them a little bit drastic some of them aren't but I'm actually gonna look out for that now just to uh just to see cuz that's kind of messed up that they they they did that they gave her this huge push with all these vignettes and stuff and now it's she's not doing anything I don't know what they're doing with that I mean they dropped the whole hacker thing didn't they was that is that even happening anymore
01:03:32
Speaker
What was it? The hacker, the hacker thing. Oh yeah, the hacker thing they dropped. It's gone. Yeah, it's good. It's gone for now. Anyway, I'll make it's biggest return or her return depending on who it is. Cause of COVID, you know, you can't talk about hackers during COVID.
01:03:48
Speaker
No, definitely not. It has much to do with COVID. I went to a brewery on Father's Day. I didn't even talk about this. The day before Father's Day, my dad was like, oh, let's go grab a beer somewhere. So it's like three breweries. He drove. We went to three or four breweries and just grabbed beers. And it was great, just amazing. Went to the Guinness Brewery. I'm spoiled. They opened up a Guinness Brewery 15 minutes from my house, the only one outside of Ireland.
01:04:17
Speaker
And I take it for granted that there's a Guinness, yeah, it's awesome. There's this giant football field size grassy area for kids to play. There's a bunch of tables and they do music and stuff outside. So I went there and had a beer.
01:04:32
Speaker
They wouldn't do any kind of like growler, like they wouldn't like do growlers or like fill beers. And they were just like, yeah, because you know, COVID-19, I was like, what does that mean? What does that have to do with anything? I'm sitting here drinking a beer. You can't just put a container for me to drink it at home. Yeah, that's ridiculous. We talked about this last week. It's just like anything that they don't want to do, like people don't want to do, they just like blame it on COVID-19, you know? Exactly. You got to clean up your own table at this restaurant. Yeah, it's because we can't touch the trash.
01:05:00
Speaker
Yeah. That's a good idea. You're going to have to cook your own food right now because of COVID. So we'll give you an April and just head out back. 40% tips, you know, because of COVID and things like that. All right. Well, I think that's it for outside of the squared circle. Let's get into possibly our biggest Go Figure segment of the year. Let's get into it here. Like the regular nacho Doritos. Like the taco flavored?
01:05:29
Speaker
the regular, not the Dorito. Not your cheese. Not your cheese. Well, there's not. Well, there's like the original or like taco flavored, right? Oh, you're back in the day. Yeah, the old one. Yeah, that's yeah. Back in the day. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Listen, I love me some fucking Doritos. I know my Doritos history.
01:05:51
Speaker
You remember 3D Doritos? I was just about to bring that up. Oh, of course. Three Doritos, yeah. Oh my god. So good. I unpaused this for this, so this whole conversation is on the podcast. Definitely. Yeah, Doritos talk. Doritos, come at us. We're about to get some sponsors from this Doritos shit. Yeah, we eat Doritos. You do not eat cheeses. We eat Doritos. All right, go figure segment for real this time. Here we go. Money talk.
01:06:29
Speaker
Everyone's favorite segment, Go Figure, brought to you in part by Doritos. Now available in, no, I'm just joking. They're not sponsoring the podcast. This is brought to you by our good friends at Ringside Collectibles, wrestlingfigures.com, whatever you want to call it. Use code Chick Foley for 10% off anything on their website. One of our favorite sponsors and basically the best place on the internet to buy any kind of wrestling figures
01:06:57
Speaker
I don't know if you've been to a Walmart or Target in the last couple weeks. Spoiler alert, it's pretty much pointless to go there and look for wrestling figures when you can buy them at ringside and have them delivered right to your door and get 10% off as well. So check them out if you haven't already, if you've been living under some sort of rock surface.
01:07:18
Speaker
Uh, but yeah, um, Sheena, you don't have any wrestling related items to talk about, but do you have any non wrestling related items that you purchased? Maybe some headbands or something? I did not, I did not purchase any headbands for my own giant noggin, but I did purchase some, um, head garments for the future women's champion. I got her some baby like bonnets.
01:07:40
Speaker
Listen, I have a whole other side of me that put people who don't not follow chick fully know like I'm like a boho hippie crunchy like Mom, right, you know like I have this whole other part of my life. It's not wrestling related. So I bought the baby some like handmade Floral bonnets. They're like the most cutest things I've ever seen what the hell else that I buy. I think I bought an essential oil Episode
01:08:13
Speaker
But real talk, if Doritos does want to come at us with that sponsorship, you can be my second favorite sponsor, Doritos. Yes, Doritos are great and they're good for you because they have, you know,
01:08:25
Speaker
Corn. It's a vegetable. Yeah, they're tortilla. For the Bold is their tagline. They were started in 1967. Doritos have been around since 1967. Wow. They got some crazy flavors out there now too.
01:08:43
Speaker
Oh, listen, I've never met a Dorito that I did not like. Buffalo Ranch. Oh, yeah, those are freaking good. Oh, you know
Nostalgic Snack and Collectible Conversations
01:08:49
Speaker
what? I love the sweet chili. You ever had that in the purple bag? I have not had purple bags. Oh, dude, grab those this weekend. Those are good. Oh, I'll have to check those out. I used to always love when your mom had like the, remember like the bag that has a bunch of little bags inside you would put in your lunch, like the little travel bags. Yeah. Those are clutch. You know you had a good day. I missed the days when I was like, you know,
01:09:12
Speaker
16 years old and I used to be able to dip nacho cheese Doritos in the like ranch like chip dip and like Listen and I was like shopping on on your basketball team. Yeah Exactly that is the Dorito era the Dorito and ranch era When I was crotch chomp metabolism through the roof
01:09:34
Speaker
Metabolism through the roof, eating pizza and Doritos and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like they're going out of style. Love and life. Yeah, love and life. And now if I even look at a Dorito, my ass is like. So, you know, I love Doritos and I hope you guys listening love Doritos to check them out at Doritos on Twitter. She just spit all over computer Doritos dot com. They're doing a lot of cool stuff.
01:10:06
Speaker
Oh my god. We need to get this show. We need to do a live video of this show. Oh no. Oh, it's happening. It's happening. All right. Marco, did you buy any bonnets or essential oils this week? I did not buy any bonnets or essential oils. I did buy candles though. Oh my god. You guys are kidding me. I'm joking. I did not. I'm joking. We've lost all of our listeners now. There are a lot of flavored
01:10:33
Speaker
You got a lot of flavor. Yeah, they smell great now. They smell like that. Yeah, they smell just like the Doritos. Oh, my God. That went off the rails a little bit. No, only thing, I don't think I tunneled this last week. I got my I think before the show, I got the Fiend finally, the Fiend and I got the Roush and Rick Rude. I have not opened it yet, so I cannot.
01:11:00
Speaker
Oh, do you confirm or deny? Wait, wait, wait. Let's take a step back. Have you tried this high noon peach yet? No, I haven't actually. Let me do this. Open that show up right now. I do peach. Let's see. Let's try this out, but yeah. Can you open the Rick Rood live on the webcam here? Should I? Are you willing to do that? First try the peach. The peach is banging, isn't it?
01:11:29
Speaker
Oh, the peach is good. Dude, the peach is the best. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's a little sweet. Yeah, no, it is. Yeah, it's a little bit sweet. But I think I'll have every flavor so far. I don't think I have even the grapefruit. And I don't like grapefruit at all. Yep. That's fantastic. That's the only one we got in the stock now. All the rest are sold out. We still have grapefruit. I haven't tried wine. The grapefruit's not bad, though. No, it is good. It is good. Yeah.
01:11:50
Speaker
I like the pizza. All right, well, if you want to open up that Rick Rude, I'm interested to see how it is, because I know our buddy Matt Cardona over at the major wrestling figure podcast is pretty upset that his is all stained up. And Nathan, on the podcast this week, that someone got a check in the mail from Mattel, because they tweeted Mattel and said their Rick Rude was messed up, and they got a check on the mail from Mattel. Really? I've never heard of that. Wow.
01:12:18
Speaker
OK. Wow, interesting. So yeah, do you want to open that up, Marco, for us here? Yeah, we'll wait a little bit. You can continue on. We'll do it at the end of the, we'll leave it as like a cliffhanger and see what. See if you have actual staining. Yeah. I don't want to show. I'd say don't, who knows. Any other pickups besides the Fiends and the Rick Rude? Let me think.
01:12:48
Speaker
I found a random Cedric Alexander at Target. Really? What the hell is it doing there? Just seeing this bunch of old figures at the Target that I went to. Wow. And I used one that I didn't have. So Cedric Alexander with the title, with the Cruiserweight. Pick that up. We'll talk about this later. But obviously, the pre-order of the Mr. T.
01:13:18
Speaker
That's not really a pickup, but technically a pickup. Yeah, that counts. Yeah, that counts. Yeah, so definitely the one that's, I'm going to make a prediction right now. There's a figure that everyone was like, eh, should I pre-order it or not? And they pre-ordered it anyway. It was kind of like, ah, I should have pre-ordered it. It's going to suck. But I think once you get it into your hand, you're going to, I think it's going to make a world of a difference. It's going to be like, this is probably one of the greatest figures that they have. Even Bill McKenna came out and said this is one of the greatest figures that they put together.
01:13:47
Speaker
Really? Just from the looks, everything. Wow. The packaging, the details of the pictures of Mr. T... It looks just like him. I love the box art that has his chain and has hanging... There's two different box arts. That's awesome. I don't know if it's like... Oh, yeah, they should have. The black box is over top of it. Probably the one that has his picture on it. But the one that has the Mr. T chain. The chain's on it? Sick. Yeah, so sick. Yeah, I mean... And all his accessories and everything. You can take off his bracelets and his ring. He can switch his hands out.
01:14:17
Speaker
I think people are going to be very surprised when they get it in hand and actually see it. Because obviously, people are comparing it to the Macho Man figure of last year. And I'm not sure if he's seen that tweet. He said, oh, Mr. T's this year, wait till you see what we have for next year. Oh, man, I did not see that. But that is scary. Yeah, he said, 2021, how are they going to top it? You'll see. I think that maybe, I don't know, they might maybe hint to something at Comic Con or something like that. But who knows? But yeah, I'm excited to get this.
01:14:47
Speaker
He's due. He's due for a figure in my eyes, Mr. T. I mean, he's, he's a, he's a, he's a beginning stages of Wrestle media. Like without, without him at home, like he's big. Obviously he was bigger than Hogan with Wrestle media starters. It's early eighties. It's Mr. T it's a team, all that stuff. Like he did. If anyone deserves a figure.
01:15:07
Speaker
That's a celebrity. It's Mr. T. Oh, of course. Yeah. I did find it funny that people are like shitting on that we're getting a Gronkowski figure, not to compare the two, but like, they're in the similar vein. Obviously, Mr. T had a much bigger impact on wrestling being in the first WrestleMania. And also people were complaining about the Mr. T not having the right color pants. I don't worry about that stuff that much.
01:15:31
Speaker
I don't know if they'll make another one. I mean, I don't care that it doesn't. I mean, it's incorrect to the match. It looks pretty awesome. I mean, I don't know what they took the photo from. But between the box art and the figure, I mean.
01:15:46
Speaker
It sounds like Some other websites will have it. So that's good. I mean it was on entertainment earth, which I had no problem with I literally was on there and signed in and Speaking of like not knowing if you want it. I ordered it I was like we were talking about our group channel, but like five minutes before it started I was like, I don't want this figure I'm not gonna order this and like then I the next message I sent was like I ordered it
01:16:13
Speaker
I don't want to miss out. I don't want to miss out on it. You know, I'm I'm probably I try actually I Should save this for when she knee comes back, but I ordered two I went in got one and it took me like three minutes like People were complaining about their password and stuff. I don't know if you have this on your iPhone But when I go to like log into like a website now it like something pops up and to ask me to like I must have saved the password like you can save passwords now on your iPhone and
01:16:41
Speaker
So I don't put a password into anything anymore. Me either. Yeah, that's how I got it. Yeah, it was super fast. I had to put in my card info, because I had an old card in there. But I got it so fast, I was like, let me log in and try to get another one. Because I know my buddy Daris here in Baltimore wanted one. He keeps his mint, and then he has a loose one. So let me try and do another one. So I was able to order a second one.
01:17:03
Speaker
And I was like, OK, cool. And then today I got the email like one of them was canceled, which I was like, OK, that's fine. You know, like I was either going to like hook up somebody else or help someone. And so what do you think about keeping it to one per person? Like I think I'm torn. Yeah. And I mean, I can see that I don't think they want the same thing that happened with the macho man figure last year when it was like,
01:17:31
Speaker
So many people pre-ordered it, and then a lot of people were getting emails saying, oh, you're going to get the second wave, or basically your pre-order was canceled. They didn't want that happening, which I get. I think, too, a person is fine. I'm not sure why they only, obviously, I know why they didn't want it. Too would have been perfect, because that's what I tried to do, just in case someone else wasn't able to get it. Yeah, a lot of people weren't able to get it. A lot of people were still working during that time, so they weren't able to jump on.
01:18:11
Speaker
I have some guys here locally that we try whenever we try to order stuff. We can kind of combine orders and save the shipping.
01:18:21
Speaker
You know, that's what I would probably have, you know, would have been going to a local guy around here or something. But I understand it is nice to like, you know, that's cutting it from two to one is double the people get the figure. So that's yeah, that is good. And, you know, so I picked it up. I don't know when that'll ship.
Community Support in Collectible Hunting
01:18:39
Speaker
They charge everyone's cards already when she comes back. I'll go through the litany of pre-orders that I have currently through five different websites.
01:18:49
Speaker
But I'll get your thoughts on this and I'll get her thoughts when she comes back. Do you feel like being able to just preorder everything now is a good thing or a bad thing? Does it take out a little bit of the enjoyment of collecting for you as a collector? Yes and no, obviously, because you know where I am. Yeah, because you know, you're not going out and you're not getting the like the feeling of going out and actually
01:19:17
Speaker
trying to find these figures and stuff like that and get the enjoyment of taking that turn down the aisle and actually seeing it and finding it. So yeah, that part's gone. The other part of it, too, is it's kind of one of the same. Especially if it's a newer figure, there's chances are you may not get it the first time around. So it is kind of like hunting. You're still doing the same thing. You're just doing it in a newer version of fig hunting. So you being the first person to click that button to get the
01:19:47
Speaker
The figure first is kind of like the same thing. And if you're able to grab another one for somebody else. So you kind of do the same thing just more electronically, we'll say. But yeah, that's the feeling of actually having it physically in your hand at that point. Yeah, you definitely can't defeat that. Or you definitely miss that. I'm not saying once. I mean, obviously, hunting is better than actually going on a website and clicking. But right now, it's how the world is. I mean, you do that on Amazon with regular.
01:20:17
Speaker
the detergent you're going to buy it. So it's like, it's not a big deal doing it nowadays. But I get, I get why people are like, Oh, you should order online. It takes the fun away from actually fake hunting. But I mean, the world's obviously different now. So maybe the best way isn't, you know, going store to store and risking health to find a figure. Maybe the easiest way is to fire up ringside collectibles and purchase a figure right then and there and get the whole set.
01:20:45
Speaker
You don't have to way around and stuff like that. If you want the whole set, go grab it.
01:20:49
Speaker
give the AWM rival series. You're always going to know somebody that, especially in our group, you're going to know somebody that wants it. You know what I mean? That's why when I'm ordering stuff, if I'm kind of half and half on something, I'll order it because in our Patreon group, we've got 160 people in there that are, someone's going to want something. I'm with you. I think the part of what I enjoy about collecting is hunting stuff down and finding stuff.
01:21:15
Speaker
and that's
01:21:35
Speaker
Do you know that story? I went to 10 Walmarts or whatever. It sucks to go to 10 Walmarts. Everyone listening can agree to that. I'm not saying it's fun to do that shit, but that's kind of part of the... That's why people go fishing instead of going to the fucking grocery store to buy fish. You can get fish at the grocery store for pretty cheap, but people like to go fishing. I'm kind of torn, but with the way the things are right now in the world and also
01:22:03
Speaker
even if COVID-19 never happened. Just trying to find things at Walmart and Target sucks. Wasting gas and just driving around. Most stores, I feel like the people that work there, grab the stuff and throw it on eBay.
01:22:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's the end. I'm starting to think that too. I mean, I put it on Twitter that, like, this is why we have our Patreon group, because these Mr. T figures and the Kane Decade of Dominance figures are on eBay already for over $100. So, like... Yeah, it's insane.
01:22:34
Speaker
I mean, if you're not by your phone, like some people like us, we're the hardcore of the hardcore. I mean, we're on Twitter, we're on listening to podcasts. Some people collect and don't, you know, we can't just assume everyone is like us. I mean, some people in some of the Facebook groups that I'm in were like, oh shit, when did these pre-orders go up? Like, oh, it was like last week. Okay, well, I missed, you know, like,
01:22:57
Speaker
People have shit going on. People are not paying attention to Twitter every single day. Exactly. That's not the majority of how people are in the world. We think everyone is like us, but it's not. So that's the brilliance of our group. And I put it on Twitter again, because I tweeted out earlier today, oh, I need this. I saw someone post this in some Facebook group or something. It's the Macho Man Basic with the black pants and the white lightning, silver lightning, whatever it is.
01:23:27
Speaker
I put it in our Facebook group and I was like, hey, if anyone finds this at Five Below, I need this. Help me out. And two hours later, our buddy Jeremiah Smith-Rouse found it for me and saved me from having to go on eBay and spend 20 bucks on it. That is the best part of our group.
01:23:47
Speaker
So many awesome people out there looking for stuff and looking for themselves. They find something else. They'll post it like, hey, I'm at the store. If you need this, let me know. As much as I love Twitter, it's such an endless void of people. We have thousands of people. I can't interact with them all the time. But having 160 people in our group,
01:24:08
Speaker
It's just perfect. I don't know how much bigger I want it to really get because the bigger it gets, the more people we have in and the more personalities. I think right now we have an awesome group of people. Like I said, we had 10 or 11 people sign up this week to Patreon.
01:24:23
Speaker
Uh, people are really upset about, you know, just not being able to find stuff, you know, and just, uh, being able to help people out is awesome. So yeah, thank you, Jeremiah, for that. That's awesome. And now a lot of the new people we've, we've talked about this tonight on the show have come in and said, like, Hey, I'm in Walmart right now. Anybody need this Otis? Like I saw somebody post about that. Like,
01:24:42
Speaker
Oh, wow. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, like shit. And I was late to it and whatever. I missed it. But someone else got it in the group. That's all that matters. Yeah. I sent it to you. They were talking about the Major Brothers podcast. The new Beckett wrestling magazine, I guess, is the second edition. I used to be balls deep on Beckett back in the day. I used to love getting Becketts because I was big. Oh, yeah, me too. I was big into baseball card collecting. And I would just scroll through and like, you know, everything would be up like 10 cents or something. I'd be all excited.
01:25:12
Speaker
Yeah, this is pretty cool. I want to pick this up. I don't know where you would get it from I don't know if you order from their website or what I have to look more into it, but There's not like when I was a kid there was like stores that would just sell like rows and rows of magazines I feel like that doesn't exist anymore. Yeah. Yeah, like a bat like a deuce like I was like a deuce stand Yeah, yeah place. Yeah, you said like like in airports and shit Yeah, I said, yeah, there was a kind of like a cigar shop slash like magazine. Yeah, I
01:25:39
Speaker
a place I used to go to at my old hometown. And they'd have, like, I would say comic books and all that type of stuff, but wrote, like, David Beckett. That was, like, the thing. I was huge into baseball and basketball cards as well. I still have a lot of my, I actually still have both. I have, like, albums and albums of baseball cards from, like, 80s, probably 70s, 80s, and 90s, and haven't been through, like, ages. But I'm not sure how much they're worth now, but. Yeah, I don't know.
01:26:09
Speaker
Probably nothing. Yeah, exactly. It might be in there. I don't even know. But I used to be like big with like for basketball. I used to collect Michael Jordan. Obviously, he's my favorite basketball player. So like I've had I've like legit. I'm not sure how many probably over maybe two or three hundred Michael Jordan, like basketball cards that I just would only trade like people like junior high school and high school for.
Upcoming Wrestling Figure Releases
01:26:38
Speaker
Michael Jordan if they have Michael Jordan cards, obviously I have like the car balloons and the Larry birds and the Sean Kemp's There's obviously a mold. So all my 90s basketball guys will know but uh, yeah, but I love Sean Kemp But uh, yeah, then I was hugely collecting and stuff like that. There was another I think it's just like in you to like collect something Yeah, there's another kind of hunting and just comic book collecting. I was the same thing. I wanted hunt down like a
01:27:05
Speaker
the fifth
01:27:24
Speaker
What you're doing, for sure. Our buddies at Ringside Collectibles have a line of UFC figures. They just showed off from jazzwares. That's the people that make the AEW figures. Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, Donald Serone, John Jones, Max Holloway, Khabib. Oh, no. I'll never be able to get this name. Do you do it? Yeah, just say Khabib. It's fine. Just say Khabib. OK. Yeah, it's typical.
01:27:54
Speaker
Yeah, everyone knows who it is. 23.99, they're pre-order for mid-August. I'm not a huge MMA fan, but these are some big names. They went with a lot of people that have been around, legends of UFC, I guess you could say. So that's pretty cool. You can pre-order those on ringsidecollectibles.com.
01:28:17
Speaker
We finally got the package photos, Marco, for Triple H and China ring sizes. Yeah. I think our buddy Tommy Paradise from the Run-In podcast got a shipping notification for that. On a side note, that podcast is so good, dude. Those guys, obviously good friends of ours, DJ and Tom, they've only been, I think they've had like three or four episodes. It's so freaking good, man. I mean, both those guys really know their stuff.
01:28:45
Speaker
Unlike our show, they talk about a lot of Marvel stuff. Yeah, everything. A little bit of everything, pop culture, sports. While obviously I'm a huge wrestling fan, I also like a lot of that stuff too. I like at least hearing about it, even if I don't collect it. Check it out. It's the Run-In podcast. It's available anywhere you listen to our podcast too.
01:29:08
Speaker
They're doing a fiend giveaway if you give them a five-star review on iTunes So yeah, yeah, that's a pretty nice giveaway. But yeah, the photos of this look pretty cool. I did not pre-order this I'm waiting for a China Elite by itself, but the photos are pretty cool Yeah, they I like the DX green That they threw on there it is an Elite two-pack so it has like the same package design as the Elite two-pack and
01:29:37
Speaker
I do like China with the two belts. China two belts. That's pretty cool. But yeah, it's a China figure. Everyone's been waiting for that. Maybe they'll announce it. Who knows? Maybe they'll announce, like, a STCC. Maybe that's the next year's one. Who knows? Maybe that's a, which it probably won't be. I'm guessing it might be the Undertaker or something like that. Some type of? Gobbledy. Oh, possibly. But yeah.
01:30:07
Speaker
I haven't, I like back and forth on pre-order. I do want to do it because I want that old school Triple H with the cloth robe. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, I can't wait to see.
01:30:22
Speaker
with the finished product looks like on that one. Yeah, that should be out to people pretty soon from Ringside. Right before we started recording on WWE's Twitter and website and Instagram, they showed off, I guess, the beginning of the fourth line
01:30:38
Speaker
The third one's not even out yet. The third one's not even out yet, but the Master of the Universe figures. We have a stone cold, Steve Austin. He comes with the vest and the Hulk Hogan. Almost like the same helmet he used back in like late 80s when he was balding. With the fist helmet.
01:30:57
Speaker
and a new ring, so I don't know who else will be in this set with them. I've told people that these figures are really cool. I don't collect them myself, but I've bought some for my son, and he loves, like, you can take the head off, the arms off, the legs off, and switch them all around. They come with cool little weapons and stuff. So he, I mean, he loves them. But they're really well, like, you know, the faces on, the heads on them are just, like, an awesome, like, you know, they're not, like, cheaply made, for sure. I know you've had them in here.
01:31:28
Speaker
Oh yeah, no, they're really awesome. I'm excited about this. So waiting on that third wave to hit at some point. And like I said, that's the beauty of our group, because I usually don't see any of these fly around my area. I think the last set I got was from Mike, Mike Lanham. I think he was at a Walmart, and they had the whole set. It's the Walmart Whisperer, dude. Yeah, and they had the whole set. I was like, dude, get them all right now.
01:31:56
Speaker
Yeah, so I think this so this looks like it's gonna be another like Triple H John Cena set where you have Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan and with the ring like a whole like the two figures of the ring setup call That's what it that's what it looks like to be anyway, and then like probably like figures will follow after that but that's what it seems like it's from what I look at it looks like a
01:32:19
Speaker
I do rank with two new figures. Yeah, I could see that. Someone did put out, I think it was the Wrestling Figures Twitter account. What's their name? I think it's going to be up for pre-order. There's a Walmart exclusive, but it will be up for pre-order and give them a shout, because they always give us shouts. Oh, that's the case. Wrestle fake news, which is a good source for shout.
01:32:43
Speaker
Yep. I think these will be up for pre-order, but I agree with you. That's weird. They announced only two. Yeah. It is weird that they would do another two pack with a ring because the first one did not. I mean, those are still floating around. I don't think they sold very well. So. Yeah. Yeah. But check those out there. The third series, I think it's Brawn, New Day. The Rock. The Rock and Undertaker. Undertaker. Yeah. There we go.
01:33:11
Speaker
Can't wait for that. That's that's both sets wait for that third one to pop up a W unrivaled figures. We saw some photos of those we saw Jericho and then then the young bucks and Kenny Omega Those figures. Yeah, so those are pretty cool. Those look like they're shipping next month or yep beginning of August so pretty cool it looks like they're doing like a commercial though like does the photos like the photos that they
01:33:41
Speaker
They had like the like the old school like like Hasbro commercials and the like where they have the ring and the guys are on the ring like, get your action figures today. And it's like, you look at it because they're dressed up like they're the young bucks are dressed up like their figures and they're holding their figures. And there's like a little, there's like a stand with the ring and the middle. So it looks like they're going to, it looks like they're shooting a commercial for like an actual like live actually commercial where they're using their figures, which will be, if they do an old school retro, like,
01:34:10
Speaker
like wrestling commercial for the figures. That'd be pretty awesome. Oh, it'd be awesome. Yeah. I mean, uh, Hawkins and Ryder did that for the retros and it was never even like, never even on TV. Yeah.
01:34:24
Speaker
So yeah, we saw the elite fan takeover vote. We still haven't seen any of these figures. I don't know if these are ever going to come out. They're just something to entertain us with. But there was a Randy Orton there. I love the salmon pink trunks. I don't know when that is from, but that's the one that stand it out to me that I voted for. But hopefully, these elite takeover
01:34:50
Speaker
fan takeover figures are coming out you know in the next year or so they've been they've been giving us votes this is the second wave of them so yeah I think I think I voted for the rent as you went red trunks and it was a backlash oh yeah the backlash back to its cactus jack only because if it comes with accessories like the trash can and other because he brings out that trash can with like the with the with the
01:35:19
Speaker
two by four with the barbed wire around and stuff like that. I think that'd be pretty cool with that shirt too, the evolution shirt that he's wearing. So yeah, I voted for that one because, and that's probably like his like marquee match against Mick Foley. That's Mick Foley's favorite match. So that's a brutal last match too. Yeah. The radio Atlanta attacks, like he took that bump, which is no shirt on by the way.
01:35:46
Speaker
Just regular radio and just taking bums on time. I think that's solidified. I think that helped him out. I think that bumped him a little bit in everyone's eyes when he took that bump there. But yeah, hopefully we see some of these figures soon. I think, haven't seen the shade of basil one yet. We did see the
01:36:05
Speaker
Can we see the Seth Rollins yet? Was it Chicago Bears, Seth Rollins, a part of that? No, no, no, no. We haven't seen any, even photos of any of them. So hopefully maybe Comic Con, we will see. We also saw the Decade of Domination Series 2 lineup go up for pre-order on Walmart.com, one of our favorite websites.
01:36:24
Speaker
It was Kofi Kingston from his debut attire in Beth Phoenix and Kane with the, when he unmasked, which was a cool figure, and Triple H with the biker shorts. This is slated to deliver no later than December 1st. We still haven't gotten the first wave for pre-order. Which one of these did you grab? Did you grab any of these?
01:36:52
Speaker
No, I wanted, obviously, one of the undertaker. You wanted the undertaker, too? I mean, I think anyone's going to go for it, really. But no, I'm joking. But yeah, I definitely wanted the undertaker out of that. My second choice would have been Mark Henry. Obviously, that one's gone as well. But yeah, I mean, the cave looks pretty sweet. I'm not sure if it's still up there, which is probably going to be gone. People already have it on eBay for $100.
Managing Pre-orders and Collection Display
01:37:21
Speaker
All right, then that's it. I mean, you know, I think Walmart will add they usually like throw more up there. I feel like, you know, yeah, I mean, Beth and Natalia might not be bad either because they go hand in hand. Oh, so they each have the titles, right? Doesn't Natalia has the divas title and Beth has the women's title. So those would probably be pretty cool pickups to just have those figures. Oh, but other than that,
01:37:47
Speaker
No, I didn't grab anything, so I was late on the draw. I grabbed the Beth Phoenix, so I guess I was going to wait for Sheena to come back, but she is dealing with her youngins. These are the pre-orders that I currently have, Marco. I have a Bobby Heenan from Target. I have a Beth Phoenix now from Walmart.
01:38:07
Speaker
I have a Mr. T from Entertainment Earth, so that's three websites now. I have Becky Lynch and John Cena Ultimate Edition from a website not to be named. I have a Matt Riddle, Naomi, Freddie Blassie, and Billy Graham on order from Ringside Collectibles on different orders.
01:38:26
Speaker
So that's five websites I have preorders from. I had to write them down to keep track of what I have. Yeah, it's a lot. Which is great, because normally we'd have to go out in the wild and hunt these figures down. Some of these have since sold out, obviously. Yep.
01:38:45
Speaker
But I think this is the way things are gonna be for the next year or so with the pre-orders on different websites Yeah, get them sent right to your door, which is nice So I can't complain but I mean it is insane how much different stuff we've had going on Over the last couple months this decade of domination is on Walmart's website. This is the second series
01:39:10
Speaker
this is
01:39:28
Speaker
Most things go in life. So that was one of the things I wanted to talk about. I picked up three fiends from Ringside Collectibles, one for me, one for my son, and one for a giveaway we'll be doing. So if you're following, Sheena's giving away one on our Instagram shortly. I'll be giving away one on Twitter. So we have all of our basis covers there.
01:39:53
Speaker
I talked about the Mr. T from Entertainment Earth. I tried to get two. I got one. So that's good. I got this Macho Man Elite Series 23. Let me hold it up for the camera here. So hopefully Marco next week will be able to get a live link so people can watch us. Oh, yeah. Can we do that?
01:40:14
Speaker
I see it, yeah, but I see it. This is Elite, so sick. Elite23, yeah, this is so sick. This is from our good buddy on Instagram, who I suggest everyone to follow. I bought this one. I was at the beach last weekend. I was drunk as shit at a bar, and he posted it, so I bought it. This is at Retro WWF Classics, good dude, out of South Jersey.
01:40:38
Speaker
And I bought it for a great price, and it came in like, this is like, I don't know, 10 years old. This looks like it was fresh out of the freaking box. Yeah, man, it looks brand new. It looks like you just went and picked it up at a store, definitely, yeah. It was so many, an eight outfit. And this just came in the mail. Even better, wow. From our buddy Jamie Wallace. This is the Macho King Wrestling Buddy. This thing looks literally
01:41:08
Speaker
There's nothing there's nothing wrong with this thing. This is literally fresh out. Yeah, it's fresh out of the package. It's probably older than me almost. It's literally perfect. So Jamie, thank you for that. You even let me pay in installments because it was a big boy purchase. So another perk to being part of the Foley family. I picked that up. So add that to the macho man. I got the pro wrestling crate in the mail.
01:41:36
Speaker
Have I got mine yet? No. You have not. OK. Do you want me to spoil what's in it or no? All right. I watched your unboxing video. Oh, OK. With my son, yeah. OK. So full disclosure, I've never signed up for this before. This is my second month in a row. I canceled it. If you've never signed up for the Pro Wrestling Crate, I would definitely recommend it because it's like $40, including shipping.
01:42:01
Speaker
I sold both of the shirts that were in this box for more than $40 total. Oh, nice. So I made out overall. And both the shirts were freaking awesome. And I'm not a fan. The Brain Busters was one. The Revival or FTR was the other shirt. They're both really awesome looking shirts. If I liked either of those tag teams, I would have definitely kept them. They were really high quality. I sold them to a couple of people in our Patreon group.
01:42:27
Speaker
And I sold the Steiner Brothers pin to our buddy Tommy Paradise from the Run-In podcast. I still have the micro brawler, the Brian Myers micro brawler. I still have the Crime Time comic book, which was cool. The one thing that sucked was a kazoo, edgy Christian kazoo. And people were making fun of me and my son because we didn't know how to use a kazoo. I've never blown into a kazoo before.
01:42:55
Speaker
But I guess you have to use. I was using it totally wrong. Yeah. And it got to the point where Pro Wrestling Crate had to tweet out a video, Marco, of how to use these things because they were getting emails from people. OK, this is broken. How do you do that? You never use a gazoo. No one's ever used a gazoo at all. I mean, maybe. Not just you, just anybody has never used that complaint about it. No.
01:43:18
Speaker
the the
01:43:38
Speaker
to get off your hands missile the search for $20 shipped so
01:43:56
Speaker
I've I've cancelled my my shipment, but I'm open to getting it back up if I see a box that I like in the future so Take that with a grain of salt I talked about that macho man basic figure. I got from Jeremiah in our group I'm trying to I'm trying to have no pickups next week. That's my goal no purchases next week because my wife is literally a
01:44:22
Speaker
I've gotten, they were timed so badly, I got a package every single day for the last like week. Oh boy. Yeah. And it's nothing, nothing like, I mean, huge, but, uh, you know, we were both home, you know, she's getting the, she's opening the door. Didn't do the clean sweep. Uh, so, uh, I was like, you know, I, I have five different pre-orders from five different websites. She didn't like that either.
01:44:46
Speaker
I'm trying to sell some stuff. The cool news that we did get from Bill Makena this week, Marco, was Mattel is starting a website, or they already have a website called MattelCreations.com. And we need to talk about this because this seems like the way they're going to go with a lot of these pre-orders now, or stuff that maybe they don't want to make unless they get X number of
01:45:13
Speaker
people signing up and paying for them, which is a pretty cool idea. They're using it right now for some hot wheels type of stuff. But the options are endless for this, right? Oh, yeah. No, especially if you're into the, I think it's, from what I see, it looks like it's a lot of car stuff, right? Yeah. Like car creations, stuff like that. With the hopes of maybe flooring to the other parts of,
01:45:44
Speaker
Mattel, especially like figures and stuff like that. That'd be cool if you could do like customize your own like WWE figure. Oh, God. Pretty sick if you're able to do that. And you obviously have to pay to be a member to do so. I wouldn't assume they would let you do that for free. It's sort of like, is it Hasbro Pulse? Is that there? Hasbro has the Pulse website that's kind of like there.
01:46:10
Speaker
That's what I think that's based off of pretty much. So yeah, definitely excited about that. It's definitely a step in the right direction for Mattel with the Creations website.
01:46:23
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I like it. I think that they avoid some of the problems they've had with some other websites in the past, whether it's Walmart or Target. I mean, people were just crying about Entertainment Earth just being a piece of shit website. And I feel like I got lucky. But you're not remembering your password and all this kind of stuff. So people always talk about Maddie Collector back in the day and Mattel had a website that you could buy wrestling figures from.
01:46:50
Speaker
Again, does it take a little bit of the enjoyment out of the hobby of being able to just go onto a website and click a button and get something? Maybe, yeah. But it is nice to be able to know that you have something, especially folks that don't have, you know, I'm lucky to have like four Walmarts and four targets, Marco, that are within like, you know, 40 minutes of my house. Some people don't have that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you live in like Iowa or lunch meets South Dakota.
01:47:19
Speaker
You don't get that, so. So yeah, I think it'll be good. They do like the, I know like with the Hasbro Pulse, they do like the, they do like the figure reveals and stuff like that too, which is pretty cool. So maybe you'll get like those figure reveals on Mattel's website. So depending on what you purchase from Mattel, us obviously be wrestling figures. Maybe like when I do like the SDCC, like the Mr. T, maybe that
01:47:49
Speaker
That would have been a reveal on that website before Entertainment Earth and you would have seen like images of it there before anything else. I'm assuming now that they're doing this website that the next reveals will probably start popping up on out.
01:48:02
Speaker
on that website. Yeah. You want to get some eyeballs on there and like bigger stuff you could, you could throw on there for like, Hey, we've got this like WrestleMania set place at, you know, ramp or whatever. If we can get a thousand people to sign up for it, we'll start making it. If we don't get a thousand people, we'll just give everybody's money back. Kind of like a GoFundMe type of thing. That would be, that'd be pretty cool, you know? And if people
01:48:25
Speaker
People don't sign up for it. You can't complain about it not getting made because, you know, it's they need enough money, X amount of money to to make shit. So yeah, pretty cool, though. I mean, it's it is like a step in the right direction for sure. We saw we talked about the A.W. figures we saw. We did see a tweet from Jeremy Padour from jazzwares that Orange Cassidy Figg is in the works, which is awesome in the first place.
01:48:53
Speaker
And he's going to have his hands be able to go into his pockets. I can't even imagine how this is going to work, but it had to happen, right? Yeah, that's the thing. I think his tweet was basically like, hey, you guys asked for it. We're going to make it happen. That's as easy as it gets. So yeah, so he put up computer images of the pants and the hands and how the pockets are open a little bit so he can put the hands in the pockets, which is pretty sweet, dude.
01:49:24
Speaker
Just him being interactive. I mean, if you follow him, he's awesome. He has a really good Twitter account. If you're not following him, definitely follow him now, because he has a lot of stuff like that. He answers literally. He tries to answer every question. He has a lot of fantastic giveaways and stuff like that. Yeah, especially stuff like that. He's always giving stuff away, yeah. He'll go, hey, what do you guys want to see on the next figure? Oh, let's do this. He'll throw up a computer image. Oh, yeah, we got to work on it. We'll do that.
01:49:53
Speaker
It's like, what the hell? He actually is. And he's trying to rough some feathers with Mr. Bill over there. It's like, oh, Bill's out there. I'm going to show you what I can do. But yeah, his Twitter is awesome. Yeah, definitely follow him if he gives away a lot of stuff. Did you see him live time too, which is pretty awesome.
01:50:19
Speaker
I bought a bunch of magazines from one of our listeners, WDF magazines. It's so cool. People listen to our show and you just forget that people are listening when we're sitting here talking, but one of our listeners messaged me like, hey, I'm cleaning out my
01:50:34
Speaker
You know, Attic or whatever, I got a bunch of these old WF magazines. I remember hearing that you're going to collect those. And this is Anthony Valhakis, AnthonyV725 on Instagram. So he sent this to me. It was supposed to be here a couple days ago, but of course, everything is so delayed with USPS, not his fault. Just keep watching the tracking.
01:50:57
Speaker
Uh, that'll be here pretty soon, so I can't wait for that. Um, a bunch of like 94, 95 WDF magazines, uh, some good reading over the weekend. And, uh, oh my God. The biggest pickup is this fucking IKEA order that my wife made.
01:51:12
Speaker
Uh, probably two months ago while everything was closed up, ordered like a couch and some stuff. So I have a wall here in the, in the, uh, the fig cave that is totally bare. Clean all the stuff out. I got space for three of those floating shelves that I'm going to put some elite figures on and the order should be here this weekend.
Toy Store Visits and WWE Network Recommendations
01:51:32
Speaker
Uh, I'm hoping to suspend an entire day. My son wants to help me put them up.
01:51:37
Speaker
and that'll be pretty cool so I'll have a bunch of, I'll take photos of the progress and post it to the Facebook group as I'm doing it but that should give me room for another 45 to 50 figures on the wall and then that's, I'm capping it right there, that's it. I'm not extending anymore, I'm not doing any more shelves. Once that room is filled, if I buy a new figure, if I need to put it on the shelf, I'm selling something.
01:52:04
Speaker
the right
01:52:21
Speaker
uh... how that goes but i'm excited to expand the room here a little bit and uh... that's i think that's it for go figure we got a lot of a lot of news a lot of uh... purchases and uh... a lot of good stuff i talked about that poster i went to attorney of dreams our buddy at ring skirts on twitter uh... actually lives pretty close to there and i just found out about that after i left but i think we're gonna meet up there next time
01:52:46
Speaker
He's a great fellow on Twitter and this store is like it was like the size of like a like a CVS and it had like I like an aisle of Marvel toys and aisle of wrestlers and aisle of this aisle that I mean it had master the universe GI Joe's like I mean it was like literally I could have was there with the wife and kid and we were there for probably like 45 minutes I could I could have spent like five hours in this place no lie
01:53:10
Speaker
It's insane. And they have a Facebook group. I don't know if it's their actual page or they have a group. I follow both of them. But the guy every night from six to eight or six to nine does a live sale on his Facebook page. He just walks around the store and just says, hey, whatever you want, look at something. And he ships everything all over the country. Oh, that's pretty sick. He's getting new stuff all the time. He posted photos. He drove all the way to California for a
01:53:37
Speaker
a big haul of toys, so they had a bunch of cool stuff. I picked up a Mongo, McMichael, and I took a picture of the store, and everybody commented about this $5 bin of all these jacks and old figures, and people were like, dude, there's so much freaking fire in that $5 bin.
01:53:58
Speaker
the the
01:54:19
Speaker
My wife almost made me go strawberry picking on the way home. She fucking, of course, found some place on the way home. Like, oh, let's go strawberry picking. Like, oh, Jesus, on fucking Father's Day. But they were closed. I was like, no, we got there. They were like, we're not doing strawberry picking. We're doing cherry picking. And it was like a little box, like the size of a shoe box. It was like $60 to fill up this box with cherries.
01:54:46
Speaker
What the fuck are we doing here? What is this? Just buy cherries for cheaper. Ridiculous. So that's it for the Go Figure segment. Let's get on with the quarantine and chill sponsored by our friends at Omage. You can use code CHICK there for 20% off, which is an awesome discount.
01:55:06
Speaker
And they're doing deals all the time. They're doing buy one, get ones. They're doing clearance sales here and there. As soon as every weekend, Marco, they have a different sale. And sometimes you can stack that 20% off on there. I'm sure they don't want us to tell people that. But oh, well. Yeah, definitely. Any listening or watching recommendations that you would have for quarantine and chill this week?
01:55:35
Speaker
Nothing this week, actually. Nothing like non-wrestling related. I've just been watching a lot of Undertaker type of stuff, because on WWE Network, they have a whole section of Undertaker pay-per-views that you can watch. I watched, I think Survivor Series 2005. I watched that whole thing. I think I just finished it today.
01:56:04
Speaker
Yeah, he's not in it until the end. Spoiler alert. He shows up and confronts Randy Orton, him and his father, actually. But that match actually wasn't bad. The actual Survivor Series match. It was a Rob versus SmackDown. It was thinking on the raw side. It was Shawn Michaels, Chris Masters, Carlito, and I forget who else. Oh, Kane and Big Show.
01:56:34
Speaker
And then on the SmackDown side, I believe it was, let's see if I get this right, Randy Orton, Batista, Bobby Lashley, Ray Mysterio, and JBL. Wow, that's pretty sad, squad. Yeah, so it was just funny seeing, what do you call it, Bobby Lashley and Randy Orton.
01:56:58
Speaker
who are still wrestling right now in Rey Mysterio. All these guys I'm watching on TV right now, and they all pretty much look the same. Give or take a few wrinkles here and there, but yeah, it was pretty impressive. You get to watch Eric Bischoff face Teddy Long in a fight too, which is pretty entertaining. How's that? What a battle. Yeah.
Giveaways and Auctions
01:57:26
Speaker
What else? The first match wasn't bad. It was Chris Benoit versus Booker T in the best of seven series for the United States championship. You forget like how, like, obviously you don't forget how good Chris Benoit is because if you watch any of his matches, they're really good. But Booker T, if you get out, you're like Booker T was in the ring. He was damn good. Yeah. Yeah. He was. He was a big dude. And yeah. Yeah.
01:57:54
Speaker
Very athletic, super agile. File over the place if he needed to. He could move around. He wasn't stiff at all. Meaning he was fluid. He could move around in the ring. For a big dude, he was still jacked as hell. He had sharp metal on the outside. Doing managerial duties. Causing chaos on the outside. I've just been watching
01:58:17
Speaker
Just been watching the network, because I feel like I don't utilize the network as much as I should. Yeah, I feel like that sometimes, too. So I just feel like usually my son, when I'm putting it in the bed, he wants to watch wrestling with me. So I'll throw something on. Nothing really new, nothing. If it's like raw SmackDown, that's on that night, we'll watch it. But like any other night, we're throwing on something on the network. And he's watching it. He's thoroughly entertained. He actually loves the street profits.
01:58:45
Speaker
that's cool
01:58:57
Speaker
Kids watch wrestling. People forget that. It's not just adult dudes. All different ages of people, races, and all kinds of things. You have to appeal to everybody when you're in company. I forgot about this. This Retro WF Classics on Instagram that I bought this Macho Man Elite from also sent me this autographed Seamus car, dude.
01:59:18
Speaker
Oh, look, oh my god, a future Hall of Famer Seamus. I know, right? He knows my love of Seamus. And I said, he was going to give me a Bulldog one. I said, just burn that and give me this one, the Seamus card. But I want to go through. So next week on the show here, we are going to do a giveaway for our first ever Chick-Fully crate. So I'm going to post a video of all this shit on Twitter. But I'm going to go through it real quick here. This is what someone's going to win, of our Chick-Fully Patreon subscribers.

02:02:33
Speaker
the flashback.
02:02:54
Speaker
Smokey Mountain. I'm laughing because it's inside. It's an inside joke with us. OK. Smokey Mountain wrestling jacket owned by Sunny at AKA Academy Litch, AKA one of the top only fans. Oh, this is oh, 750 bucks. It's a pretty cool jacket. Yeah, so they so these are specifically given
02:03:21
Speaker
It made for a smoky bound wrestling talent, so you can't find them anywhere. They're not like They're not gonna be anywhere to be sold So I guess I Jim cornet would make these jackets specifically For any talent that would sign with them. So this one is Sonny's jacket that you get this pictures of it. It's pictures of her wearing it. She doesn't look bad of the pictures The one picture that's there
02:03:52
Speaker
So this would not fit my fat ass. I'm not even sure what size it is. I didn't even see. Let's see. This is large. Yeah, they're created for talent in the 90s. Yeah, no, it's it's a big condition, too, which is I'm not sure how big it is because she owned it. Depending on what she was wearing. Might have some stains.
02:04:20
Speaker
about spunk as shida shida said earlier today uh but yeah no it's 750 bucks and you get you get a uh a rink ward maybe a rink ward sunny uh smokey mountain sat jacket which is pretty cool yep free shipping too uh i did want to talk about um
02:04:43
Speaker
I've talked about this on the show a little bit, but this is happening in August, and I hope you can join me. I know you have a lot of family responsibilities, but the toy headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, I'm going to make a trip down there, just a fill day. Take a mental health day in August. This might be the first ever Chick-Fully field trip, okay? Mike Lanham's gonna meet up with me. I'll get everyone the dates and the times and all that stuff.
02:05:10
Speaker
But they have an awesome store. They're Toy Vomit on Instagram. But this store, Toy Headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, is going to be like a Tuesday or something like during the week. I'm going to fly down there for one day, hang out. I'm probably going to stay the night in a hotel or something and just kind of like check, probably have some barbecue or whatever. Whatever food is good in Kentucky. I don't even fucking know. I've never been to Kentucky before.
02:05:37
Speaker
but if you want to come, you know, shoot me a message. I'll get you all the info and, well, beers are on me if you guys come
Wrestling Match Recommendations and Shoutouts
02:05:45
Speaker
down there, you know, or sodas, whatever you want to drink. No peer pressure, Marco. Yeah, I definitely do.
02:05:53
Speaker
Right now, if it's Mike Lanham and me, I'm going to have fun. If anyone else can come, I'm going to be even more over the moon. I'd love to get a bunch of listeners to come down and literally it's going to be a day where we hang out. I don't know what else there is to see in Kentucky, but we'll find out. We'll go to this toy store. We'll hang out. We'll get some good dinner together.
02:06:14
Speaker
And, you know, it'd be kind of like a little mini meetup. So if you want some information, if you want to take a day away from a normal adulting life in August, we can make that happen. It'd be pretty fun. So more details coming for that. Let's get into the retro wrestling recommendation of the week, brought to you in part by ProWrestlingTees.com, the best website on the internet to get wrestling t-shirts.
02:06:42
Speaker
Sasha Banks versus Oscar Raw January 2018 Okay This is an odd match to have on Raw to give this away on Raw here Yeah, so this is the there's like the beginning obviously Oscar won this spoiler alert if you haven't seen it already But this was like the beginning of the of the rivalry between Oscar because Oscar brought it up on Monday Night Raw Hey Sasha, you never beat me
02:07:08
Speaker
I beat you. And this is the Monday after Royal Rumble, where Oscar won the first Women's Royal Rumble. So she was on a roll there anyway. I don't want to say it's a masterpiece, but it's pretty damn close. It's a really, really great match with two top of the line stars as well. So if you want to see what it looks like when Oscar and Sasha Banks get the ring together, that's the reason why I threw this up there,
02:07:39
Speaker
the retro wrestling recommendation was just to see them in action. It was a pretty long match too. I think it was like the co-main event, not the main event of Raw that night, but definitely a really awesome match if you haven't seen it.
02:07:55
Speaker
Trying to figure out if Sasha Banks is a heel here or a face because she's getting booed pretty pretty seriously here. But I think she was a heel. Yeah, it's cool to have people actually in the crowd. Yeah, you get to see that people actually cheering. Well, that was the year that Trish Stratus was in the Royal Rumble. He had Hurricane come back. Oh, man. Good times, dude. Yeah, that's what else. What do you call it?
02:08:26
Speaker
Shinsuke one too, right? Was it Shinsuke?
Trivia Challenge and Podcast Community
02:08:29
Speaker
Yeah Michelle McCool was in the Royal Rumble. This is like before they did the arena shows for Royal Rumble Yeah, that's right
02:08:38
Speaker
Good stuff. Yes, Shinsuke and Oscar both won. All right. Good shit. Yeah. I mean, part of the network that people forget about is being able to go back and see stuff like this. It wasn't a ton of time ago. It is nice. Let's do our podcast shout outs. Of course, we can start with our buddy is at our Vantage Point podcast.
02:09:09
Speaker
Oh, man!
02:09:19
Speaker
Because it's just very like, their shows go kind of cohesively. They do usually a top 10 list or bottom 10 list of stuff. Yeah, that makes sense. And they're doing best and worst tag teams, best and worst intercontinental title champions. So definitely check them out. They do a lot of retro wrestling. And they do some really cool stuff. Our buddy's at the Run-In podcast. DJ and Tommy Paradise do a really good show. We talked about them early in the show.
02:09:47
Speaker
The wrestle getting podcasts and obviously our friends over at the major wrestling figure podcast Oh, I forgot. I think I said this last week, but the guys from off the hop rope I sent them like a giant like $90 box of beers from the brewery I went to and hopefully they'll drink those on their podcast pretty soon awesome because you know

Speaker
oh wait a minute we we can't leave until you answer the question the office trivia question oh it's one we'll do one okay let me pull let me pull up the crazy music that I found for this hold on one second okay
02:11:04
Speaker
I'm not prepared for this. Thanks a lot. All right, first ever time on the podcast. I do second year. I'm going to answer some office trivia submitted by you guys, listeners. I think I need to have a prize if someone stumps me. We'll think of that next week. But Marco, as the cheesy intro music is playing,
02:11:34
Speaker
What's the question who's it from with this week who you got office trivia week one All right, so it's uh, so the question is from Brian Baker, oh And the question is actually it's Actually, yeah, it's a question name the identity that Creed Bratton uses if he goes bankrupt. Oh my god
02:12:04
Speaker
Oh, no. So right off the bat, a hard one. Yeah. Oh, that would be funny if I always just get all these wrong the whole time. Oh, I don't know. It goes bankrupt. I mean, this is the episode where Michael declares bankruptcy. I don't know. I think it's Creed Bratton is the, oh, I don't know. What is it?
02:12:36
Speaker
Oh, he actually didn't put the answer. He just asked a question, and that was it. Well, I googled, I hear the quote. It says, Creed Bratton has never declared bankruptcy. When Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to? Oh, yeah, that's right. William Charles Schneider. Charles Schneider, yeah. OK. Well, I'm 0 for 1 here. They're going to hit you with those hard ones, because you're
02:12:59
Speaker
claim that you're an office master, so expect it. All right. So I'll take the loss here. I feel like this is going to stress me out. It's going to be a bit trivial. You guys are probably digging deep. In episode three, the first third scene, what was on the wall?
02:13:17
Speaker
But thank you guys for submitting that. Brian, you're one of the real MVPs of the Patreon group. Thank you for submitting that question and stumping me. Next week, I'll have an idea of a good prize for everyone. Well, Brian Baker, he is the first ever Chick Foley sticker. Started sending those out to people.
