Welcome
Show Introduction & SummerSlam Overview
00:00:01
Speaker
to the Chick Foley Show.
00:00:22
Speaker
What is up, Foley fam? We are back with our SummerSlam preview extravaganza. We're going to be diving into a relatively light SummerSlam card. We're going to be discussing that also, just the overall number of matches this year compared to the last five or
Experiences Under the Supermoon
00:00:36
Speaker
six years. But before we get into all that, let me introduce the stars of the show. Sheena, how you doing?
00:00:40
Speaker
I'm doing well. I'm sitting here under this beautiful sturgeon supermoon we got going on out here. Um, we're recording August 1st. And yeah, if you're outside right now, you're definitely looking at like an epic, an epic moon. So if you're listening to this tomorrow, it'll probably still, you know, people are going to be listening to this like at all times a day throughout the week.
00:00:59
Speaker
Well, I don't remind them. They can go out tomorrow. It'll still be super closed tomorrow. So they'll still be able to like take it in if they're already in bed tonight. But August, we're going to have two super moons. So if you miss this one, August 30th, we're going to have a harvest moon and it's going to be so, and it's a super moon as well. So if you, all my moon geeks out there, you know.
00:01:20
Speaker
What? I'm just trying to I don't even have a response or a tort. So I'm trying to better our audience's lives, get them out in nature, get them like, you know, just feeling feeling the natural vibes out there, the gravitational pull of the moon, you know, get out from behind their screens and just breathe in some fresh air. So I'm out here trying to like better our audience. All right, I could dig that. Marco, what's happening up in
50 Cent Concert Reflections
00:01:44
Speaker
Boston?
00:01:44
Speaker
Nothing much. Also, if you've got, you can tan your moons as well, just by bringing that back. Sure. It's a super moon. You can tan your super moon under the light of the super moon. Probably a different effect than the sun, but there's got to be something going on there if you point your anus to the moon. Some type of connection. No, but yeah, no. Doing good over here.
00:02:08
Speaker
Just enjoy the summer. It's already winding down. It's August 1st, like you just said. We still got about two months of summer. The first day of fall is until September 23rd or something like that, right? Yeah. August always gets me in the fall vibes too, but I feel like, I mean, we definitely have two months of summer. I think we're still going to have some hot ass days ahead of us. Mark, I got to say, man, I'm a little bit jealous. Tell the audience where you are, what concerts you're going to this Thursday night.
00:02:38
Speaker
Well, I will be attending Mr. Curtis Jackson and his friends. Curtis Jackson and friends. Curtis Jackson and friends. That's the name of the sponsor now. 50 Cent. I figure what it's called. It's pretty much like his last tour, his last lap around the globe. If you see the poster, it's like literally, he's literally doing
00:03:05
Speaker
you know, hair and then overseas, like everywhere. So Busta Rhymes is going to be there. That's that's like a co-headliner. Unless you got with him. Yeah, I think he is. Yeah, he is Busta Rhymes. And what the heck is that dude's name?
00:03:21
Speaker
I figured his name. The birthday sex dude. I can't think of his name. Oh, Jeremy. Yes, Jeremy. I don't know if there's going to be special guests or anything like that, but I'm pretty stoked. I've never seen a 50 cent. I've seen Evan Evan. That's cool, man. Is he going to be at, is he doing the Celtics stadium or what's he doing?
00:03:41
Speaker
No, he's doing some, I've never been to, it's an air, it's kind of near Foxborough Stadium. It's not Foxborough Stadium, because that's the worst for acoustics, if you've ever been there. I forget the name of the stadium, but it's an open stadium, as though it's not indoors. Okay, like an amphitheater-type situation. Yeah, like an amphitheater.
00:04:00
Speaker
It's, uh, yeah, the wife, uh, you know, hooked me up with some, uh, it was a father's day gift, uh, slash, you know, her own gift. Cause she wanted to go secretly as well. So she was like, Oh, perfect, perfect combination. So that makes me feel so old though, because like Seth and I were just starting dating when 50 was just like super fresh, get rich or die. Try and like we went to FYE and we're like looking for this like sold out album everywhere. And now he's doing his last lap. I feel like
00:04:28
Speaker
Oh my god, we're old. Yeah, it's like the 20 year year. I guess they're like 20 years. It was 2003. Yeah. Yeah, man. That's that's crazy. I think that Alan came out 20 years ago.
00:04:39
Speaker
50s become really underrated over the years to man Like obviously his career was they at least musically was a little bit lackluster after he left shady aftermath Yeah, you know that first five or six years runny had was you could put that up against you about anybody's in hip-hop history Oh, yeah, dude the whole like G unit blew up. It was just a bunch of people. What was yeah? What was the song that uh?
00:04:59
Speaker
That you guys came to get was it just the whole album was it was it was you have to get richard i try and had just come out it so you know you sold out everywhere yeah i was already i mean i discovered fifty from the eight mile soundtrack with wankster and then uh
00:05:13
Speaker
There was another song he was on with Eminem and Obie Trice on the 8 Mile soundtrack. It was really, really good. And then obviously in the club came out, you know, the month before his album dropped, kind of just had the radio on fire back in early 2003. Yes. I picture just Seth.
00:05:29
Speaker
picking up Sheena on the first day just listening to PIMP. We didn't even find the album that night, right? Or that night? No, we did. We did. Yeah. Because it was the Tuesday after. The whole reason we ended up going out, me and my brother went to go find it the first night and it was sold out everywhere. That's right. They had to restock that night. We had to go to the big town. I think there was a basketball game. I think didn't we go back and there was a basketball game in the night?
00:05:54
Speaker
No, you got the timeline all jacked up, but it's fine. We don't got to go off the way down that memory lane on that one. The basketball game was a couple of days prior. It just made me feel like it was that perfect high school dating situation. It kind of was, but yeah, you got the events a little bit out of order. Sorry, my recall from 20 years ago is not as good as it used to be. Jordan, you're a big concert goer, man. Also, welcome Jordan to the show, Six Minutes In. That intro took a while. Thanks for introducing me.
00:06:21
Speaker
I was wondering if I could just fuck off and leave. You could have jumped in at any time. It wasn't like the old days where you were like a surprise guest for the Wyatt. Until you introduce me, until Seth says, Jordan, what's going on in the Midwest? I was going to say, for the period, I need to think about fucking entrance music. Yeah, waiting to get in the ring. Hit my fucking music.
00:06:45
Speaker
Anyways, Jordan, you know, you're probably the biggest concert goer out of any of us. I really had anybody I know, man. What's the best hip hop concert you've been to? Probably either rock the mic or Kanye and Jay-Z in Chicago. Damn. No, that'd be cool. I'm assuming that's after Watch the Throne came out. That was literally like two months after Watch the Throne came out. We're talking about going to the Bengals Titans game for our
00:07:12
Speaker
football game this year. And Drake is actually in Nashville that night. So I'm going to try to hit the bangles Titans game and go to Drake that night. So cause I've never seen Jordan going to be that night. He's going to be obliterated. Yeah. We, we, we were supposed to see Drake and he fucking, uh, he broke his ankle or something that time when we were supposed to see him in Memphis this weekend. I think he's in Memphis this weekend. The tickets are actually not that bad. They canceled it, man. They ended up canceling Drake in 21 Savage. Really?
00:07:40
Speaker
Yeah, I forget. I can't remember what happened, but the guy I was with at work was thinking about buying tickets. He was actually telling me today he's glad he got canceled because he was kind of on the fence, but he felt like he was going to end up going out of FOMO, but he was like, I just saved some money with that concert getting canceled. That's odd. Well, we are officially in a hip hop podcast now. We need to change our category on Apple iTunes. Tell the listeners what's new on the forum.
00:08:06
Speaker
Um, well, we have a super moon over the farm tonight. I already got that covered. Um, what is new on the farm? I don't really know. What's Oh, um, it's your phone. No updates. Same old. Yeah. Same old. Same old. It's August. So like the garden is going wild. Weeds have taken over. It's like, you kind of just forget where you are and how much shit you have planted and where the new seeds are. So yeah, if you're a gardener or farmer in August, uh, you know, just how, how crazy it is.
00:08:31

We're, you know, elbow deep in the Pix League right now. So if you want to get in, observe how that all plays out and then get in for next season, you know, go ahead to ChickFully.com and join up.
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah, we got to do a full disclosure on the Foley Pixley. You know, we've been giving Jordan shit because his wife Ari has kind of been dusting him so far this season, the Pixley. And Ari is a wrestling fan. So it's not like, you know, straight up shameful or anything. But I'd say she's.
00:09:24
Speaker
A little bit more of a casual fan than us. She's definitely a more casual fan than Jordan. Jordan is like... She's been just dusting him. Somehow our five-year-old son Brett outscored me and Sheena on the Great American Bash on Sunday night. Tip of the cap to Brett, man. Job well done. He was actually only one match away from having a perfect card somehow.
00:09:42
Speaker
Yeah. Pretty freaking wild. Oh, who did he picked? Uh, he, he didn't pick Raquel DeHale was going to beat Tiffany Strad. Yeah, that was a good pig. I was starting to, I thought she had a chance, but you know, it was a good, it was a good show also. Uh, all right. So let's get into summer slam. Sheena is going to kind of run point on this and we're just going to go through, uh, the car and before we get into it though.
SummerSlam Card Insights
00:10:01
Speaker
What do you guys overall thoughts on the card this year? Definitely a little bit lighter. It's all killer, no filler. But we're used to seeing SummerSlam be almost like WrestleMania Lite with about 10, 11, 12 matches on the card. Well, you know it's a good thing for me. I'm super stoked. Last year, Jordan had to give me the elbow to wake me up at one point during SummerSlam because it was a long show. Jordan went and saved the day. Or was it you or Jordan? Somebody saved the day with some glizzies. Jordan got four hot dogs. That was right when we first got there, though, I think.
00:10:30
Speaker
It was an hour wait and we missed the first batch. I was going to say, but it was like an hour wait before he got back. I was like, we need to go check on Jordan. I think somebody abducted him. We were at GCW till three o'clock the night before. And then we got up early for Starcast. And that was a shit show. Basically spent all day drinking at the Wild Horse Saloon downtown Nashville. With our Foley fam. It was a long day. There's definitely the Ronda.
00:10:53
Speaker
a Liv Morgan match. I have very, very fuzzy memories of that when I started. So we're up a little bit for the Usos and Street Profits and Romans match. But yeah, it was a long day, so you could be forgiven. But yeah, I'm all for a nice, like you said, all killer, no filler, tight card. So I love that they kind of trim the fat on this.
00:11:11
Speaker
I generally like a longer car just cause I love more wrestling. I've never been one that, you know, less is more. Um, I am kind of thankful for it this year though, cause we got a big like football season kickoff event Saturday night for, um, basically all the Arlington football teams from flag football way up to varsity. It's like a big pep rally type deal that obviously we got to be at. Um, so I'm not going to be able to watch this till like nine o'clock. So I'm going to be in a super, super late start putting the phone on airplane mode. So no notifications. I won't be able to participate in the live thread in the Facebook group.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, we'll get, we'll still get the live thread up so that all you guys can. Yeah, it'll still be up, but we will not be participating. So yeah, I'm not even gonna, it's probably gonna be about 9.15 before I hit play on SummerSlam Saturday night. So I am kind of thankful this one year for the lighter card. How about you guys?
00:11:55
Speaker
Um, I mean, I always think of summer slam as obviously one of the big four shows. So it's kind of disappointing that it's a lighter card. I mean, I get it. They didn't want to put anything that didn't belong on here. There's a couple of things that I thought could have been on here as far as like raw women's title match or, um,
00:12:14
Speaker
Trish and Becky. You feel like they're blow offs to be having this, right? Dude, that's so weird that they're not doing that right now. Yeah, it is weird. Because it feels like it's timed up to be hitting a crescendo right now. And they're spending a lot of time on that on Raw. And it seems really weird that they wouldn't be paying that off for the final time at SummerSlam. But maybe they're just going to run until Survivor Series. Who knows? They love to drag shit out. Yeah, we got payback going up in a month. And that card kind of just popped up. They hadn't really been promoting that up until a few weeks ago.
00:12:43
Speaker
Some wondered if maybe they pivoted in a couple of things that they had penciled in for summer slam. Maybe they just decided to stretch out and take until. That India show is next month too, right? The beginning of next month? Yeah, the spectacle. Friday, September 8th. We don't know if that's going to look more like a full on paper view or like the old international, you know.
00:12:59
Speaker
super cards they put on in Australia and the first few cards in Saudi Arabia. Well, supposedly that match is supposed to happen at a raw and Winnipeg. Yeah. I heard that. I mean, I'm a big fan of having feuds blown off like in like big matches on raw. I think that's cool. We talked about that for years, but it feels like Trish and Becky, I feel like we need to see the end of that feud on a pay review though. Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:23
Speaker
All right, you guys ready to get into the card? Yep. All right, so we have, we'll kick it off, SummerSlam Battle Royal. I feel like this has got to be, if LA Knight does not win this Battle Royal,
Speculations & Predictions for Matches
00:13:35
Speaker
I'm starting to believe some of the backstage rumors we've seen that maybe he's not very well liked and really isn't going to get a push, no matter how much the fans try to fight for it.
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, is there anybody else that's even got any momentum? I feel like it's your LA night where this is going to be, it's him or it's just going to be some oddball one off that means nothing. Yeah. If Grayson was in it, I would probably say they have Grayson Waller win it, but he's obviously not in it.
00:14:06
Speaker
There's no stakes on this at all. It's just straight up Battle Royal. And we got the people announced so far, LA Knight, Seamus, Champa, Nakamura, Otis, and Gable. Yeah, no, he's winning.
00:14:20
Speaker
Like I said, it's, I feel like it's either, it's, it's definitely a referendum on LA night. One way or another, dude, if he, if he wins this, I think, you know, they're kind of just got him in a waiting pattern until they come up with something good, creatively to, to really send them up to the main event status. If he loses this though, I don't know, man. Yeah. Yeah. Winning this gets you a main event slot on a house show sometime in the near future.
00:14:46
Speaker
Yeah, not much to say about that. Like you said, do you know how many people are going to be in this or is this it? It's just, it's going to be however many people are left over that they feel like flying to Detroit. I mean, that new trash will be in it probably too because they're not doing anything wrong. Yeah, they're going to show up. I was going to say, maybe there's going to be some surprises. Maybe there's some things they have planned out that are going to take, that's going to take more time.
00:15:07
Speaker
I don't know. Maybe we see Bray Wyatt come out. I don't know. I don't think. No, not in the battle. I'm just saying in the night. Maybe that's why because like the card, you know, you can see some surprises in the battle royal though. Like, uh, who's from Detroit? You got Kevin Nash. Maybe you get Kevin Nash to on the, uh, the diesel single. One last time we'll come out. I can't really think. Are there any other big wrestlers from, from Detroit?
00:15:29
Speaker
You had the Iron Sheik, obviously he's no longer with us. That's a good hologram. Oh my God. If they kick off the show with an Iron Sheik hologram. So let's go around the horn then. Are we taking LA? You can either take LA Knight or you can take the field. I'm going to take the field, man. I still stand by it. I don't think LA Knight's really over. I think he's the latest version of Rusev Day. I'm going to go with LA Knight.
00:15:56
Speaker
I made this mistake before I went with L.A. Knight and he disappointed me in the money in the bank, but I'm going to try again. L.A. Knight or the field, Jordan? The field. Mark up. Dang, I'm about to split it. I'm going with L.A. Knight. Yeah. To take the win. Yeah.
00:16:12
Speaker
Maybe I'm just hopeful. The thing that's a red flag for me is that SmackDown from Mass and Square Garden a couple weeks back when the crowd was just like red hot for him and they didn't even use him on TV then. He was getting a chance like it was old CM Punk man, like LA Knight chance and he was on a backstage segment.
00:16:33
Speaker
And that was it. So not good. I mean, maybe they're gaming that maybe there's something to that, you know, you don't give the people what they want. They've done that. Yeah, we've seen that occasionally where they kind of just give you that delayed gratification type deal. It's possible. But I don't know that feels like more like a Vince thing than a Triple H thing. You mean like Bronwyn in the title three years after he should have originally won it? Exactly. Drag this shit out as long as possible. Choo choo. All right.
00:17:02
Speaker
Moving on, we got Ricochet versus Logan Paul in a straight up singles match. I think this is gonna be, I think this is gonna be a good match overall, but I mean, just, I'm not. I think Logan's taking the dub, man. He lost to Roman, he lost to Seth. I think we get him back on the winning path. I think we see Ricochet do some crazy shit, but we get Logan, you know, Logan could always just cheat to win, so I'm picking Logan Paul.
00:17:29
Speaker
Yeah. Logan Paul definitely has the, this has show stealer potential though, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. They're both going to, they definitely have some stuff planned. I think they're going to try to do too many spots in this match. Honestly, I think, I think it's going to ruin it. I do not have high hopes for this match. Honestly, it's yeah. Does Samantha urban get involved?
00:17:50
Speaker
Uh, they, they called her out on freaking, uh, on raw. I don't see her getting involved. I think she just takes a bump, like all of Stephanie style. You know what I mean? Like, you know, just, I don't know. Maybe they throw a chair over there or something. I mean, I think there'll be a moment where, you know, with Logan does when she's reluctant.
00:18:10
Speaker
to, uh, say he's a winner. She doesn't introduce him. Maybe she passes it off and has somebody else. Yeah. Maybe something like that. I don't think she'll get like physically involved or she'll just, you know, she's so infamous for her, um, you know, crazy introductions. Maybe she just says Logan. Yeah. I've always been a foreign ball, so I'm here for it. If she does that, I'll pop.
00:18:35
Speaker
All right. Any other thoughts on, uh, Ricochet versus Logan Paul? You know, I kind of worry about what they got planned. They had the awesome spot at the rumble. They had that crazy Spanish fly that they almost bossed at money in the bank, but Ricochet kind of single-handedly saved it. So, you know, it's a Logan Paul match. So I'm sure they've rehearsed it a bunch. I don't have as much concerns as Jordan does. I think whatever, I think they're going to go out there and try to nail, um, you know, whatever big spot they have. I think it's going to be a fun match. I mean, how many times has Logan Paul wrestled and we always come away like, damn, that was freaking good dude delivers man. Yeah.
00:19:04
Speaker
I think it's going to be a great match. Up next, we got Gunther versus Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship. Does anybody got the stat, Andy? How close is Gunther to breaking a hockey talk man's record? He's got to go past SummerSlam, dude. Yeah, it's September around September. Okay, so he's one month away.
00:19:27
Speaker
I mean, Gunther's ready to go on to bigger and better things, right? I see Gunther feuding with whoever comes out of this Seth Rollins' Judgment Day situation with the World Heavyweight Championship. I think Gunther's next in line. It's just a matter of if he's still going to have that intercontinental belt on his shoulder. I don't know. It's going to be a badass match. I think it could go either way. It's hard to see Drew losing his first big match back also.
00:19:50
Speaker
I know, that's what I'm thinking. The thing that gives me pause about Gunther, because I think they would definitely want him to break the record, but the thing that gives me pause is, yeah, why would you bring Drew McIntyre back to have this epic match and then just to lose. Yeah.
00:20:11
Speaker
I mean, he's at, I think it's a, what, 453 is, is honky tonks rain. He's, I think there's about four 18 right now around there. He'll definitely pass Pedro. Uh, I could see them dragging it out. I could see them dragging this out till payback to having a reaction. I'm going through, I'm going through medium. I think Drew's gonna win. I'm going with Gunther.
00:20:37
Speaker
I just think it'd be really weird if they had Gunther drop the title when he's this close to breaking it. Yeah, but do they really? Yeah, that's true. Dude, I don't know. You never know what to expect. Anything could happen. Why would you take that away from Honky Tonk, Amanda? Who would we rather have as the longest reigning?
00:20:59
Speaker
and her continental champion ever. It's been so long. Would you ever have Goother or Honky Tonk Man? I feel like that's Honky Tonk Man's one claim to fame, dude. It's like the one statistic that you can always remember. Goother's run with the belt has been awesome, but I don't know if I want Goother to win, man. I think I might be rooting for Drew in this to keep Honky in the history books. Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
Can't smash all the way. Yeah, I'm not mad at that, dude. I mean, it's gonna, this match is gonna be a banger, dude. Like, let's, let's be real. Another one, yeah. I know we just said about Ricochet and Logan Paul. This another one's got potential to be a match of the night. But it's gonna be totally different. I think we're, I mean, like, that's... Oh yeah, two totally different flavors. Two totally different flavors of wrestling, yeah. It's, it's gonna be great though, so. Well, let's go around with it. Let's, let's do final picks. Who, who are we going with? Um, my heart is telling me Gunther, but now that you say that about Honky, I mean, my head is saying Drew, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna go with Gunther. I say Gunther.
00:21:49
Speaker
Dude, I'm going with Drew. All right.
00:21:54
Speaker
All right, up next we have MMA rules match. We got Ronda Rousey versus Shayna Baszler. I think this match is going to be awesome too, dude. I got to say, I was watching Raw on mute last night for a little bit and I saw the graphic just pop up and I kind of just glanced at it and first I thought it said mama rules. You know Ronda, she's a mama, dude. Yeah, I was thinking like maybe instead of making him say uncle, you had to make him say mama or something.
00:22:21
Speaker
I mean I just I just miss read it like the way that the graphic was it was kind of a little bit of a weird font they had going yeah Yeah, what is this we've seen let you know Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock had the lines didn't match back in the day and
00:22:36
Speaker
Riddle have like a fight pit man. We've seen the fight pit. Yeah, Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins had it Matt Riddle and I forget what one of the dudes Matt Riddle somebody had one on NXT also It was the dude that looks like he eats rocks for dinner It wasn't Pete done it was a
00:22:56
Speaker
What was the dude's name, man? He's like gnarly looking dude. I'm going to say Thatcher. Am I fine? Doesn't it like he eats rocks for dinner? Dude, he looks, I mean, he looks like a badass though, dude. Yeah, he was badass. It was heaven ready. He was a cosmetic dentist dream, man.
00:23:13
Speaker
Yeah, so I don't know what this is gonna be like do we think this is gonna be like a kayfabe UFC fight or what? Yeah, if it's MMA rules, obviously, I'm not sure they're gonna do rounds. You're just gonna knock out your opponent. I don't know why they didn't just do like fight pit. I think this is far and away leading the stinker of the night. It might be some really I think it's gonna be a good match. I'm gonna say I have no hope for this match. I think this is gonna be awful.
00:23:39
Speaker
Why do you have no hope? Shayna and Rhonda are like, you know, they're like besties. I mean, yeah, maybe they go out and just beat the shit out of each other. And it's I'm not going to say there's not, you know, out of the hundred different possibilities for this match, there are a few where it comes out cool. But I just I got a feeling that this thing is just not going to translate to the squared circle is going to end up being. Yeah, I could totally see that if they start to get to MMA ish, you know, like it's just it's going to be awkward. We're all going to be sitting around like,
00:24:06
Speaker
Wait till they put this on right after Gunther and shoot or Gunther and Drew McIntyre. Yeah, that's going to be the problem is it's got, you know, it's got potential to follow Ricochet and Logan Paul and Gunther and Drew McIntyre. So yeah, that's, that will not be a good placement for the, for this match for sure. All right. Who we going with though?
00:24:27
Speaker
I say Shayna. I think, yeah, their sheets got this is Rhonda's last match or at least last match for a while. And I think, you know, I'm sure she'd love to put over a friend. Yeah. I think Shayna too. Shayna. Are we ready for the weekly beverage break? Oh yeah. All right, Shayna, you can kick it off. Tell us what you're sipping on.
00:24:56
Speaker
I'm sipping on a cold brew with raw cow's cream and a little bit of organic maple syrup. I got like shit sleep last night. My daughter, she got in bed with us and she just tossed and turned like a little freaking bowling ball all night.
00:25:13
Speaker
got the cold brew to keep me going. Side note, if you're a Costco member, these are like the Kirkland brand cold brews. They're pretty good. Really good. Really smooth. They're in a can. They're totally unsweetened, so it's just straight up coffee. Definitely recommend if you're into that sort of thing.
00:25:30
Speaker
Jordan, what are you drinking, man? A friend of mine brought me back some beers from Vermont, so I'm starting to go through those. Right now I'm drinking, it's called Volted Blue. It's a New England style India pale ale, and it is from Burlington Beer Company in Williston, Vermont. This is a really good beer. But I wonder if they're related to the Coat Factory, fellas. Yeah. You know, in Burlington Coat Factory, $500, she'd come out like a king, man.
00:25:57
Speaker
You know, they got figures at Burlington Coat Factory now. Really? It's not called Burlington Coat Factory. I think that's just Burlington. Yeah, they did the Dunkin' Effect where they're not Dunkin' Donuts anymore. I guess they have a toy section now and it's like the stuff you used to find at like TJ Maxx when sometimes they'd get like random elites and stuff. There's random elites there.
00:26:15
Speaker
Marco, what are you drinking man? I actually got the the festival of friendship at Burlington like a while back when that set was out with oh really Yeah I'm sipping on some mark and ginger so makers mark ginger. Yeah, you know Market combo America's favorite couple. Did you ever find did you ever find the bold ginger eels? I did not know they'd actually don't sell them in my in this area We looked everywhere. I guess they're like it only in certain parts of the country
00:26:45
Speaker
Man. Yeah, they got weird distribution. I haven't seen them, like I said, they pop back up at that grocery store on base here in Tennessee, man. And I haven't seen them since then. You can order them on Amazon. They have them there, like the cases and stuff. But they are a really nice mixer, for sure. I'm drinking. This is by Distill Brewery out of Normal, Illinois. What a town named Normal. I would love to live in a town named Normal. Yeah, with all the Normies. But yeah, this is out of Normal, Illinois. It's a wild sour. It's just a dragon fruit mango sour. Really, really tasty here. Let me get a drink of that. I'm going to taste it. I'm going to give you a sip, see if it'll give us a live review.
00:27:15
Speaker
Mm-mm. Mm-mm, just what I was looking for. Oh, it's good, very tart. Yeah. Yeah, it's like purple, man. This thing is just otherworldly, but yeah, really, really good if you like it sour. Anybody got any big food and drink plans for summer slim? No, none.
00:27:37
Speaker
I know we usually do we usually the big the big pay-per-view events. We usually try to do it But like Seth said we have a tiger's night So we're probably grabbing some some Taco Bell takeout or something and bring it home But I definitely have a nice set of beard on ice. We're back. What about you Marco? Y'all got any big
00:27:53
Speaker
Culinary plans for Saturday not nothing really would probably just order and I like we normally do on on the summer slam nights We were actually thinking of going over our neighbors are having their big wrestling fans So we might head over there and talk and you know do something with them and order some food and stuff So we'll see what happens All right, let's get into the the big match machine
00:28:17
Speaker
Alright, we're gonna kick it off with the triple threat match for the WWE Women's Championship. We have the reigning champ, Oscar versus Charlotte Flair versus Bianca Belair. So I don't know how the mechanics are gonna go down, but one way or another, I think
00:28:33
Speaker
EO is leaving with the belt Saturday night. Yeah, that's definitely something to consider. Because I don't think either Charlotte or Bianca, I don't think it's really time for them to, you know, for Bianca to get the belt back and for Charlotte to, you know, regain the title. I think EO is getting a dude. I think she's going to successfully cash in.
00:28:52
Speaker
Who, so how do you think, how do you think the cash is going to go down? Who's going to win the match? I don't know. Like I said, I, I, I, it could be somebody wins cash. And then I'm thinking more scenario, like similar to Seth Rollins, you know, triple threat match, you're right for some sort of like train wreck situation where everybody's down. And I think EO comes out and takes advantage. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I think it's a, she makes it a four way match at the end. Kind of like you said, like Seth Rollins comes in and then they change the rules of the match and she probably wins that way.
00:29:20
Speaker
Yeah, I'm, I'm going with EO leaving, um, leaving as well. If, okay. Take an EO out of the, what about you, Jordan, your thoughts EO, or is it going to be one of the three that are booked? I definitely think Asuka is going to win this match. I can see the EO cash in, but I just have a feeling she's going to get, she's going to try to cash in and somehow it's not going to happen. Like I still think Bailey somehow screws her out of it somehow.
00:29:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's always in play too Yeah, you gotta think of the other statistic to where all the women's cash ins are a hundred percent So there has to be some at some point where it's what's a failed cash in so this could be one of those opportunities Damn. Yeah, they are due for a failed cash in Now it makes sense because the briefcase is definitely gonna be in play in our next match as well. I
00:30:05
Speaker
Yes. Okay, so we got Seth Freakin Rollins versus Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship with Damian Priest lingering as the Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:30:19
Speaker
I think, I think Finn wins and I think Finn somehow beats Damien Priest in a cash-in scenario also. I think Finn's going to get a run with this belt. He's been awesome on the build. Even though it's kind of weird because Seth has beat Finn, cleaned his sheet twice here in the last couple months.
00:30:37
Speaker
But Finn's been really bringing the intensity and the charisma on the path of SummerSlam. And I think he's going to win. And I don't know if maybe the rest of Judgment Day turns on Priest because it's kind of been looking like they're going to turn on Finn. Maybe we get some sort of swerve. But I think Finn's going to end up standing tall and come out of this struggle with Damian Priest with the belt and with a failed cash-in for Priest.
00:31:01
Speaker
Yeah, I could see that. I mean, cause Seth, Seth's not going to lose anything. I think there's going to be definitely some sort of shenanigans. I don't think Seth is going to lose his career where wins and losses almost don't even matter. I hate to say that being such a big Rollins fan, but it just is what it is at this point. He's a made man. Yeah. Uh, I'm going, I'm going Finn.
00:31:21
Speaker
I think Damien Priest definitely tries to cash in and fails. Yeah, I'm going with Finn too. I think he's bringing a different demeanor nowadays. He's going back to the Prince.
00:31:38
Speaker
uh character back when he uh back in the bullet club days it seems like not really bringing out the demon anymore but bringing out more of like a a serious tone good baller and i think uh i think he's definitely due for a win it's like a full circle type deal where he you know he wins it back at summer slam the same like like how he did before um i do think damon priest has tried to cash in and i i'm i'm with seph i think uh judgment day turns on damon priest because i think everyone thinks it's the opposite
00:32:07
Speaker
They're going to turn on Finn Balor, but I still have a funny feeling they're going to, something's going to happen where he's, you know, Damien's on the outs for some, some strange reason, but I don't think he's going to be successful at all. I don't think Bray Wyatt returns in this match. No.
00:32:24
Speaker
No. Not this match, no. Well, I just heard somebody lay out a scenario. Obviously, it would be the perfect way to reinsert Bray because him and Seth have a built-in history and stuff. Do they, though? I guess they're just themed.
00:32:42
Speaker
I think Bray makes more sense coming back in the Cody and Brock match we're going to talk about. I can see Bray feuding with either one of those guys, or I could see Bray and Roman doing something daily. It's almost a footnote at this point, but this whole Roman reign kicked off by returning and beating up Bray Wyatt and then beating Bray Wyatt for the championship the next week. Very true. That just gives me cause for pause because
00:33:09
Speaker
I don't know. I just feel like Roman has been so excellent. I just feel like sometimes when you tie things to Bray, it starts to get super convoluted and super unclear and messy. I feel like Roman and Bray's feud in 2015 was one of the few Bray feuds that actually went really, really well and had a nice tie up. What do you think are the Roman and Bray 2015 stuff, Jordan?
00:33:33
Speaker
I loved it. I thought they killed it. It was good. Bray had a win over against Roman on pay-per-view. Roman got him back at Hell in the Cell. They had some cool tag team stuff with Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper in between time.
00:33:46
Speaker
It's definitely some meat on the bone to go back and visit. I think if you're Bray Wyatt, you got a lot of gripes with Roman. They came in at the same time with similar pedigree and potential and everything. Obviously, their careers have taken different paths at this point. I'd be down for it. I'm down for whatever Bray does, man.
00:34:06
Speaker
I know a lot of people are kind of just over it, man, but I love brain. I'm not over it. I'm not over it. I'm just, I'm always cautiously optimistic. Like I just, I don't even get disappointed anymore when it doesn't work out. There's been some creative bricks for sure. Some of that probably braids doing some of that, just the creative teams doing, but I'm really excited to see who he goes after when he, when he comes back. Yeah. And you got, well, you got, uh, like, uh, you're thinking of payback to coming up and.
00:34:32
Speaker
Like you said, payback is the beginning of that whole thing he beat. He defeated the Fiend and Braun Strowman. So yeah, I think he's making the return during that match, if anything.
00:34:47
Speaker
All right, Jordan, did you make a pick in this man? I think Finn is going to win also. And he definitely deserves it, man. That dude has worked his ass off to get back to where he is. And I want to see him get a proper reign with the title too. Dude, Finn is just, I think people forgot how awesome Finn is in the ring and on the mic and everything. I just, I love everything Finn does. So
00:35:09
Speaker
Yeah, the fact that they made the Judgment Day happen really goes to show you. I think because the Judgment Day had every opportunity to just be a freaking flop straight up like, oh my God, what was the T-bar? Retribution. Oh, retribution. Yeah, it could have totally been like a less crazy retribution flop, but they made Judgment Day a thing.
00:35:30
Speaker
I was convinced, you guys know, I'm the biggest Seth Rollins fan in the world. That set down interview they did with Seth and Finn, that's when I was convinced, like, all right, it's time for Finn Balor to get this belt, man. Like I said, the quiet intensity, bro, that was awesome, man. Like, I kind of want to go back and watch that after we get done ponding this,
WWE Returns & Feuds Speculation
00:35:45
Speaker
man. Like, Finn definitely was bringing the heat, that promo.
00:35:47
Speaker
Yeah, as far as the brace stuff goes, I don't want him anywhere near either title. Honestly, I would rather him go after Cody or Brock somewhere along those lines. I just think the title always makes it messy. There's no reason for him to go after the title. Like seriously, what is the reason that's not what he's there for? Like
00:36:05
Speaker
I just, I've never got the, yeah, when he won it at elimination chamber, that was cool. Cause he was still old Bray and it was fine and everything. But dude, the fiend character, if that's what he never should have had, that was the stupidest thing ever. And the brain, they hot shot it into a man. The fiend second match on pay-per-view was for the universal championship. And it didn't go over well. Like the red lights were part of it. I feel like that really took away a lot of things.
00:36:30
Speaker
The layout of the match was to, yeah, Seth Rollins had- It was too convoluted. He hit like frickin' ten curb stops. Seth Rollins had just gotten back over. You know, Seth's kind of, his baby face run was fizzlin' because they did a set with him and Becky and people hated it. And then he beat Brock and got back, you know, Red Hot, got all of his heat back at SummerSlam. And then, yeah, they totally, you know, they made it, Bray just got on people's nerves. He was like, this is dumb. And it killed Seth because he hits this dude with this finisher 12 times and still can't get the pin.
00:36:56
Speaker
I think the I think though there's one match in his run it back as fiend was uh The daniel brian match at survivor series a couple years ago. Um, yeah, that match was good Like daniel brian definitely got a good match out of him breaking the sauce within was awesome at summer slam, dude Like his first match was was kick ass break and have good matches. They just dude. I just don't think they need to attach anything to it Just let him wrestle exactly to me. It just goes against his whole
00:37:22
Speaker
character and who he is like, you know, he's like a man against the machine, you know, and I feel like when he has the title, I mean, that's like the symbol of the machine, you know, and it just doesn't make sense for him to.
00:37:33
Speaker
care about that or to want that, you know? Yeah, I don't see I don't think I think you guys are thinking in the wrong way. I think if he does have a few would Roman, it's not going to be for the title, it's going to be more for like, just for revenge to like, kind of like, you know, make you know, Robin, Romans, life miserable, essentially, and kind of
00:37:53
Speaker
you know, bring that back up. I think it's going to be more in that sense. Because if you think about it, the last few matches that Romans had, hasn't been for the title, he doesn't have to have title matches at all. He can have a completely different storyline without the title even being involved with that at all. It could be something totally different. It's been for like, it's been family. You know what I mean? So like family, Dom style, you know?
00:38:17
Speaker
So it really hasn't mattered, but if you attach Roman to someone else, it needs to be like for the goal. I don't think so. I think you could go to Robert Gray. I mean, we know that, but I just feel like at some point, the title's got to be defended, you know? Yeah. Yeah, we're not going to have a five month feud, and he just doesn't ever defend the title. Yeah, that's true, too. That's another thing.
00:38:43
Speaker
Very possible. I don't know. I think when Roman loses the belt, he's going to take up a nice little break if he deserves it. A tribal vacation. A tribal vacation. The tribal council. All right. Everybody's pulling for Finn.
00:38:57
Speaker
We're not pulling for Finn. We're predicting. We're predicting Finn. So hoping Seth pulls it out. Right. So she said, um, Cody Rhodes versus Brock Lesnar in a straight up singles match.
00:39:14
Speaker
It should be pretty cool, man. The fact that they didn't tie a stipulation on this actually makes me more excited for the match because I feel like they're confident that they're going to be able to go out there and just tear the house down. We were all expecting this to end up being hell in the cell or maybe bull rope match or something like that.
00:39:30
Speaker
I think they're going to tear it down. Obviously Cody's almost got to win man. I'd be stunned if he lost. I'll say, you know, I know we've already, you know, beat the braid drum to death. I think braid comes back after this though. I could see him coming back and attacking a celebrating Cody.
00:39:47
Speaker
just because, you know, if Cody's still, you know, going to finish the store at WrestleMania, we still got a ways to go and he needs something to buy this time for the next few months. And there's a ton of different ways you can go with that, man. Imagine the psychological trauma you could pull up for. Yeah, Brian Cody would be really, really cool.
00:40:05
Speaker
Or, you know, Brock man I could see these guys spin on a banger Cody leaves Brock stands up to get a little bit of, you know, ovation from the crowd and we hit you know when the classic Bray freaking sound drops and break comes back that's been a few that they've teased a little bit here and there. Over the years but we've never really got the full on brain Brock feud so I've, you know, I
00:40:26
Speaker
I don't want to take away from what I'm sure is going to be an awesome build-a-build match, but I'm just really intrigued and hopeful that we see Bray Wyatt make an appearance in this whole deal. Yeah, same. All right. You got Marco in Jordan's prediction? Yeah. I say Cody wins. Yeah, I was about to ask what your prediction was. So you're saying Cody. I'm going to say Cody. Marco, what about you? Cody, definitely. Jordan? Yeah.
00:40:50
Speaker
I just think it makes the most sense for Cody to win. Brock does not need to win any more matches for the rest of his career and he's still a made man. So he beat him off the WrestleMania. He's good for like the next five years. That's like, that's solid goal. Maybe Hogan in the eighties. Yeah, maybe like 30 years. It's like beating Andre.
00:41:06
Speaker
Jordan, you're the Bray Mark, dude. Who would you rather him see it? Would you rather see him go after Cody or go after Brock? I want to watch him and Cody go at it. I think that'd be awesome, man. And that's a, so like, I feel like Cody's matches need to be high profile. And I feel like wrestling Bray is a high profile match that doesn't need a title attached to it. Obviously, like we've said, um, so I really
00:41:29
Speaker
Cody is a super emotional being. He's a really good actor. Cody is a really, really good actor, man. He would be the perfect person to pit against Bray. Like I said, because Bray's really good about going for the jugular and bringing in the psychological stuff. So I think him and Cody would be excellent. Yeah, I agree. All right. In the main event, we have some tribal combat happening.
00:41:54
Speaker
Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the recognition of Tribal Chief. I just as much as I would love to see it happen.
00:42:09
Speaker
It doesn't feel like we're there. I think Roman wins again. Yeah. The show goes on. Yep. Yep. 100%. I think it's going to be a hell of a match, man. A hell of a match. These guys, they're matches at Night of Champions and at Hell in a Cell back in 2020. We're both instant classics. Definitely the biggest match Jey Uso has ever had in his life. I know they're going to bring it. Did we see Jimmy?
00:42:33
Speaker
I think we see Jimmy. I think you might see Jimmy a little turn on Jay, dude. Yeah, that's what you reunite with the bloodline. Yeah, but I don't know. I don't see as much as I would love to see it. It'd be the perfect ending of the story. I just I can't in my heart of hearts. I can't see Jay Uso walking out of SummerSlam with the belts. Yeah, same. Jordan. Man, I want to see it. I really do. I think it'd be such a cool
00:42:59
Speaker
I think it'd be so cool to put a bow on this whole story with Jay winning the title. Oh yeah. But dude, the closer it's gotten the more fearful I've been that there's no way it's happening. And I just, I don't think it's going to happen. I mean, I think it would be awesome for Jay to win the belt, career recognition, everything like that. But yeah, I just, I think they're just going to keep the Roman train rolling to WrestleMania. I mean, it is what it is. They've gone this far now. What's the point of stopping it?
00:43:31
Speaker
Yeah. Agreed. Marco? Yeah. If you remember a few weeks back, I was thinking Jay might win, but I'm on board with Jordan on this one. Just as the weeks went by, it's just like, you want to pull for it and see it happen.
00:43:51
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about what it would feel like, like how the crowd would just lose their freaking minds if Jey Uso defeated Roman Reigns, dude. I mean, the roof would blow off that place, dude. Like, it would be insane.
00:44:04
Speaker
They could always pull the 97 Lex Luger thing. Hollywood Hogan was in the middle of a year plus long row with the title and Lex Luger actually beat him for it and then lost it back like a week later. We could see Jay. Jay could possibly win it and then lose it back at payback. I don't know, man. I feel like they've gone this far with Roman. I feel like it's still going to end up being Cody that takes the belt from him.
00:44:29
Speaker
Yeah, because it makes it less, it makes it less meaningful for the next person that you have in line to be like the legit lined up champion. If Jay, you know what I mean? If it's like a broken championship. Yeah, I think it's going to be the first person to beat them one on one in those three years. Yeah. 100%. So that's the whole card. Where are you guys at from, you know, like a one to 10 on your overall hype meter for SummerSlam?
00:44:51
Speaker
I'm going to go with an eight. I'm pretty hyped for it. I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be a killer show. Like I said, it's just, it's nice. It's compact. Um, you know, there's, there's plenty of room for surprises with this card. Um, I'm here for it. I give it an eight. Yeah, I'll go Sam. I'll go 7.5. Maybe a little bit less excited. There's, there's a few more matches I wouldn't mind seeing on the car. Like obviously KO's injured. I'd love to see a good tag team championship match. Yeah. We have no tag teams, no, uh, U S championship.
00:45:16
Speaker
Yeah. So definitely, you know, it feels like the card could be a little bit more robust, but what's there is going to be really entertaining. And, um, I'm just excited to see all the twists and turns. So I'll go 7.5 Marco. Um, I'm going to go seven with that. I think that the, uh, with the Becky and Trish being removed, that kind of killed the momentum a little bit for me anyway, making it like you're talking about earlier, having a longer, uh, uh, card going in there.
00:45:43
Speaker
You know, it's a Triple H show, so more longer matches, more storytelling. That's what you have to usually go out for. So yeah, seven. Jordan.
00:45:56
Speaker
I'm going to go a six just because I feel like there should have been more stuff added to this card. Like I said earlier, it's one of the big four pay per views. This should always feel like a huge show. I just, I don't know, man, this one just has for some reason outside of the main event, I just haven't got as excited for this card. I don't know why, but I just, I haven't. It's just, it's weird to me, but
00:46:21
Speaker
I don't know.
NXT and WWE Talent Discussion
00:46:22
Speaker
I mean, historically though, when we felt this way or when you, you know, when you get that kind of vibe where you're like, well, it should be better, dude. Half the time it freaking delivers, dude. Like you're less like, Oh damn, dude. I was not really hyped on this car, but you know, it was an excellent show. It's just, I don't know. Just like some of the matches on here.
00:46:40
Speaker
I have a side question too is the way they're using Austin theory. Cause I hadn't, I didn't think this guy was ever going to be world champion is, is Seth starting to get a little bit nervous about his Austin theory prediction about being, I think something happened backstage. He's definitely ice cold at this point, man, despite being the U S champ, it seems like he's almost like an actor thought. I don't know if he pissed somebody off, but I'm still holding, I'm holding my Austin theory stock, but, um,
00:47:06
Speaker
I'm definitely a little bit more sketchy than I was maybe coming out of, coming out of WrestleMania or definitely coming out of summer slam last year. Yeah. Did you end up watching great American bash on Sunday? I did. What did you think? I know you've been, I've been trying to get you on the NXT 2.0 train, man. What were your thoughts on great American mesh? So it was good. Um, I enjoyed the show. I was definitely sports entertained.
00:47:29
Speaker
I was texting Seth a little bit during the show. I don't know. I'm not saying the women's division is not good. I'm not saying they don't have good matches. There's just nobody in that division that just like stands out to me though. It's just like every, every person is the same. Like they have the same level of competence, man. Yeah. I say they're like,
00:47:50
Speaker
It's hard. Like if you had them on a lineup, man, and there, some of them got a little bit of a gimmick going, but just there are a lot of them have really similar looks and like ring styles. Like if you had them in a lineup, I'd be hard pressed to, you know, match the person with the name. And it's like, you know, I told you, it's just like sameness, man. They got like a whole bunch of like, you know, B plus women's wrestlers in there, but nobody's really standing out, right? Yeah. It's just, I don't know, man. It's weird for me. Like I do think NXT has some good talent in there.
00:48:19
Speaker
But the problem with NXT for me is I got so used to and spoiled with the black and gold brand. Like every show you knew was going to be an absolute banger. Like from weekly to TV to pay per views to, to everything. It just, I don't know, man, it hasn't been the same since the takeovers ended. I just feel like NXT is, I'm not saying it's poorly booked because it's obviously booked properly.
00:48:43
Speaker
I don't know, man, there's just, there's something, it's just lacking to me. Like there's, there's nothing that like stands out on these cards. And I love Carmelo. Like when we did our draft, I drafted him because I think that guy has like the most potential in WWE. It's just,
00:48:59
Speaker
I don't know, man. And I said the same thing about Braun, dude. I felt like he really took a dive at some point. I just, I don't know, man. I feel like they just get kind of stagnant in the next team. Now it's, it's weird. The old, the old NXT, like the black and gold, that was definitely the, like your like wet dream version of wrestling, man. Like all the freaking
00:49:17
Speaker
all stars from the indies and that like hardcore, like indie style work great, right? Like, whereas like now, like these guys are like all straight up just performance center guys. Um, and there it's the, the WWE main roster style through and through. Like it's very in ring, like bell to bell. It's very similar to what you see on Mondays and Friday nights. Yeah. Cause I mean, it even feels like when they call people up from NXT, it's kind of just like, Oh, this tag team is there. It doesn't really mean anything though. I mean,
00:49:45
Speaker
Yeah, they don't do like the hyped up call ups anymore with these two guys kind of just show up. Yeah, I don't know. It's just, I get it. Like Seth tells me all the time, like this shows books so well. And I'm not saying it's not, it's just, it's not as exciting as it used to be. And I'm not saying it should be. It's just, it's, it's not far too high for NXT. And then it just, especially like,
00:50:07
Speaker
go back and watch like 2017, 2008, like go back and watch that 2018 Philadelphia takeover where you had the, the street fight between Adam Cole and Alistair Black. When you follow that up with that Johnny Gargano, uh, Andrade Almas match. Oh yeah. Yeah, just insanity there.
00:50:24
Speaker
I think they know it too, because they keep bringing guys from the main roster down to show up on random NXT shows because they need more star power on that show. That was not the freaking North American champion. Rawlins wrestled on that show twice. Like I just, I don't know, man. I just, I feel like there's something lacking. I don't know what it is, but I don't know. It's just, it's weird. No, but yeah, it was good. All right. Do we got some listener mail? She, Oh yeah.
00:51:01
Speaker
All right. Keeping the 50 cent theme going. Marco's going to be rocking after that on Thursday. Yeah, our buddy Johnny JB gave us a great transitional question from our NXT talk. He says, carrying cross was a beast in NXT before being released. Do you think he can regain that dominance or have the powers that be given up on him? To me, carrying cross been dead in the water ever since Adam Cole roasted him on the mic.
00:51:26
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, I mean, uh, there's probably a hot take. I don't think he was really ever a beast in NXT either. I mean, that's, that's for me anyway. I wasn't really, I mean, you're right. He didn't have like the.
00:51:41
Speaker
I don't know, the it factor. I mean, no, wait, I take that back. He had the it factor. He had all the, all of the bells and whistles like Michael, or not Michael Cole, Adam Cole said. Michael Cole, baby. He had all the bells and whistles, the entrance, the girl, the smoke, the music, all of it. They had to do all of that just to make him feel special. All they had to do for Adam Cole was ring the bell.
00:52:02
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes you're just gonna say Vince is right sometimes yes gonna go Vince is right Was the star of that act anyway, I thought scarlet was the the moneymaker dude if he didn't have scarlet Yeah, it was like a sable wild man work mario type situation
00:52:19
Speaker
Hold on. I still thought carrying across was salvageable until Vince put him in dominatrix gear. And then that just completely shit him down the way. Like that was the end of anything. And now he grew out here. Yeah, he looks kind of like psychotic with, you know, being bald and stuff. No, no shade to bald people. I'm just saying carrying across specifically. Um, but, uh, yeah, the hair looks like a toupee. It's not the same. So
00:52:44
Speaker
Even now they give him his regular gimmick and still not getting over. So what does that tell you?
00:52:50
Speaker
I feel like that kind of gimmick is more suited for a brand like NXT. I think just sending them back to NXT 2.0, they're missing a guy like that, man. I'm like, let them go back to NXT for 100%. I feel like that gimmick has room to shine there, whereas everything's a big production. Yeah, some gimmicks like that, sometimes they work better in a smaller venue than in front of 15,000 people on Raw. Yeah. Hot take. WWE wanted Scarlett back, and they had to bring back Carrie in with her. That was the only way she would go back.
00:53:20
Speaker
That's right. True. All right. Sam Bro says, what's a fantasy line akin to the monster zombie mutant lines you'd like to see Mattel do for WWE? This is a good question because we actually just got really hardcore back into. We almost got the whole zombies clips put together and we got all the mutants. So yeah, you know, these were figures that were hating on time, but I think looking back, they're really, really neat. I would say just bring back the zombies man. That's what I said. Do more zombies. Zombies figures are fucking awesome, dude. Give us another run of zombies. I'll be all over at this time.
00:53:49
Speaker
100%, I'm here for more zombies. The mutants are pretty cool too, man. The actual figures, they have so much detail and so many like, you know. Just a little touches and kind of things. I feel like the G.R. kind of had like a gimmick for those. Like the zombies, you can make anybody a zombie. Oh yeah, yeah, 100%. What about you guys? Any creative lines you'd like to see come out? I think they should do a Mortal Kombat, WWE crossover.
00:54:18
Speaker
That'd be cool. That'd be cool. Like I think that would really hit. I just, I feel like every time they do a crossover, it works and they give it up on it too soon. Like the Ghostbusters line was cool. The turtles line was sweet. Master of the universe was sweet. They just give up on them too soon. Yeah. I remember my idea on the Ghostbusters. They should have made, cause you know, we had the undertakers that like purple Dean thing. I said, we needed Nia Jax's Stay Puff.
00:54:41
Speaker
Oh, I remember that. I remember that take. Yeah, I remember that take. Well, the thing about the things like turtles and Ghostbusters, it's really limited as to how far you can go because the main there's only like four main characters. Yeah, but there's like 100 villains in all those in like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They could have done it. Very true. Very true. I think there's going to be a crossover with Hasbro at some point because if you've seen during the during STCC Bill Bill was with
00:55:12
Speaker
some of the Hasbro creators, they kind of like fake quote invaded the Mattel booth. But I also read this, there may be some type of crossover happening with Mattel. Yeah, they signed a deal earlier this year where they can share some of their IP. It was never explicitly stated if
00:55:32
Speaker
WWE was a part of that. But yeah, you could do like, um, Marvel, Marvel, like some G.I. Joe, WWE stuff, do like go back to the old stomp line by Jax. Yeah, you could do like superhero, um, WWE superhero. That's a good, yeah. Superheroes would be cool. Like straight up like, you know, like Marvel and DC. Captain America, Captain America, like, you know, free
00:55:54
Speaker
That would be a cool line because there's, I mean, there's plenty of superheroes to go around. Um, and it would really be, I think it'd be really well received by kids too, for superheroes and WWE superstars. So.
Wrestling Size Debate & Ethics in Collecting
00:56:06
Speaker
All right. Sam Barossa says on the term buckle debate from a few weeks ago, the question was asked, does size matter in wrestling? What do y'all think? I don't think their size necessarily matters, but I do feel like they're conditioning and physique matters. Size matters.
00:56:21
Speaker
Yes. It's a motion in the ocean, right? It's a motion in the ocean, kid. Yeah. Um, so you guys know I've been a defender of Adam Cole on this podcast in the past when you guys have just absolutely annihilated him for being too small. Um, I think it's unfortunate. I'm, the reality is, is that size does matter in, you know, in certain situations. I mean, in wrestling specifically, it does matter. Um, but, uh, she's not wrong.
00:56:51
Speaker
I love how Sheena took this question. It's true. I hate to be, I hate to be a size queen, you know, but a size queen in wrestling, dude.
00:57:06
Speaker
I think you can be short like Adam Cole, but you can't be short and skinny like him. Dude, Taz was shorter than Adam Cole is back in the day, but Taz was fucking badass. There was never any match where I was like, oh, Taz is too small. He's going to get wrecked by this guy, dude. It's the combination of the height and the weight. If there's a threshold, you can go. I feel like Daniel Bryan is the bottom half-ho, but I feel like Daniel Bryan even has always been a little bit
00:57:34
Speaker
more bulky than Adam Cole. Yeah, Daniel Bryan is definitely more bulky than Adam Cole. Adam Cole is very wavy. He's lean and he's muscly, but yeah, he's just very lean and his legs are super small and he wears an oversized jacket which accentuates the smallness. Got to get a better fitting entrance jacket. Yeah, the entrance jacket is
00:57:57
Speaker
Yeah, I don't, and I mean, physique, I mean, I guess that's all in the eye of the beholder. I feel like, you know, like a guy like, um, you know, Keith Lee and Kevin Owens, I mean, they're definitely championship material and their physique is different than what you would consider like a body guy. You know, they're just fucking shit kickers.
00:58:15
Speaker
I love Adam Cole, but yeah, like his, I felt like, you know, he's awesome in the next tee. Awesome. So I'm like ring of honor. I don't see him as like a main roster. Yeah. I see like with, with, with size, it's not really like, for me, it's not physique, like muscles. It's more or less like.
00:58:30
Speaker
the differences in the height and stuff like that. I'm not believing, obviously it's wrestling, so obviously it's not real, but I'm not believing Adam Cole is going to be a psycho sin in a match. Yeah, it's just the believability, right? The believability is not there. He's going to wring his neck. It's going to be a squash match. That's where size matters to me anyway, when it comes to the actual height and stuff. Not really the muscles or anything like that. Who's been the smallest champ in recent history?
00:58:58
Speaker
I mean, Adam Cole was an XT champ. He's pretty small. For main roster, yeah, Daniel Bryan was WWE champ. But like I said, I feel like Daniel Bryan's still acceptable. He has like a bulkiness to him. He has kind of size in a sense when he faces Brock Lesnar. And he's got power behind his strikes and stuff, man. He does look powerful. Adam Cole, I don't think Adam Cole really has that. He looks like he'll snap a leg if he goes like...
00:59:20
Speaker
Exactly. Like Daniel Bryan, if you look at him, he's like stocky all the way down. His legs are thick. His waist is thick. He's the smallest window that he's had in the last 10 years. Yeah. If Adam Cole, let's say he ends up beating MJF for the championship. If I'm fucking Brian Cage, somebody like that, I'm showing up to dynamite the next Wednesday night and be like, here, give me a match and I'll break the student hat. Yeah.
00:59:46
Speaker
Samer also says, what are y'all's opinions on selling figures in Facebook groups? Should there be rules on what you can charge for a figure? And I think this is, I saw this kind of going down in another Facebook group where somebody, this has been happening a lot as of recently. I'm all about free market, man. The figure's worth what somebody will pay for it. Somebody posted a figure and they posted like $35 and then somebody, they were in the comments going, you know, I think one of the moderators or something was like, I think you mean $30.
01:00:14
Speaker
You know, just really kind of like calling him out. No shipping's going up, dude. With this new fucking... We talked about this, I think, on Pod Wars, man. The USPS Ground Advantage. It's a lot more expensive to send those. The cheapest level of shipments is now like a dollar more expensive pretty much across the board. I don't know. I don't sweat it, man. Obviously, the cool thing to do... In the Foley Fan Face Group, we're amongst friends. Cool thing to do is go...
01:00:39
Speaker
retail, plus shipping. And if you want to throw a dollar or two in for gas and time, that's cool too. And for the most part, that's what everybody does. But I'm not coming off the top rope on somebody. If they want to get an extra 10, 20 bucks off a figure, that's the best they're riding. Yeah. And I think if nobody wants to buy it, then nobody's going to buy it. I don't think someone should be shunned, though, just for trying to make a little bit more money.
01:01:02
Speaker
Yeah. And I mean, I think if you're, if you're ripe to be gouged, you're ripe to be gouged. You know what I mean? Like, I think if you're, if you're, no, I'm just saying, I don't know. They were dressed like that. Nobody in our group, we have a, we have a really good group of people who just get out there and we're hunting anyway. So we're looking for stuff for our, for our fully fam. This group is a much larger group. I'm not going to call them out by name. I mean, it's the major five group. Well, I'm just saying, I don't want to like, I'm not saying that.
01:01:30
Speaker
I don't know. I just don't want to freak in. I mean, that's just the thing. I mean, and they're totally cool. Like if that's established, I don't get any problem. If I was in a figure group and they said, you know, one of the rules is, hey, it's retail plus shipping on recent releases. That's cool, too. But I'm just not. I'm kind of cool to just let people do what they want to do and let the market decide. You know, at the end of the day, something's worth it. Somebody will pay for it.
01:01:51
Speaker
Right. What I was saying is just there's a lot more people in there, so you're opening yourself up to a lot more just randos and assholes and stuff. They probably need a little bit more regulation than we do in ours. Yeah, exactly. I feel like we have a- We're going to remember. You could be an asshole in that group and people probably forget about it the next day. In our group, if somebody does something crazy, it's going to stick. People will remember it for a little bit. Yeah. For one, people don't do crazy stuff in our group. True. But two, if that happened, yeah, it would be memorable.
01:02:19
Speaker
Yeah, I agree with Seth. I don't think people should be policing what people are trying to charge for figures. Again, if somebody's going to pay it, then, you know, that's just, again, that's just the fricking free market. I mean, then the figures are like 23 bucks now, right? Like retail plus tax in Tennessee is like almost 10%. And there's a cost on people's time, dude, like straight up, man. If I'm spending
01:02:41
Speaker
Yeah, the time you spend doing the shipments the time you spend going out and getting these figures So again, I I'm cool with just doing retail if I find something for somebody but I don't hold it against somebody if you know, they want to
01:02:53
Speaker
They want to freaking charge a little something. Yeah. Everybody remember that while I'm driving all over town, find your fucking figures. I have had people trying to low ball me on figures and I'm like, dude, that's not even enough to cover the actual figure.
01:03:10
Speaker
Exactly. I don't want anybody going in the negative hunting figures, dude. That's not cool. It's not what we're here for. I mean, I think it is weird when it's like, you know, well, gas plus this, if you're already out hunting, then I mean, we're already all in targets and Walmarts and shit. And then we're going to look for stuff for ourselves. Right. So, you know, here's the other thing. Why does everybody feel like they need to comment on every post? Like, dude, if you don't want it or you don't want to pay that much, move the fuck on. Who gives a shit? Yeah. Like somebody else might be thrilled. There may be somebody who's like, yo, I'll fucking
01:03:40
Speaker
The thing I always say, if I'm about to spend a premium on a figure, if it's something that's out but it's just tough to find and I see it on eBay, let's say it's some elite or an AW figure that's on eBay for 40 bucks, I'll ask myself, if I knew for a fact it was at my Walmart five minutes away and I could spend 40 bucks and go get it, would I go? If the answer is yes, then fuck it, I'll buy it.
01:04:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's just and if you don't want mine, that's cool too and you have to put a price on your time going and hunting and finding figures because like how many times have you gone into a Walmart or a Target and you don't you don't find anything right like you go specifically to do figure hunting and you don't find anything so that's I mean again, that's a you're putting a premium on your own time not having to go out and search and hunt and drive and you know now we live a little bit out in the country before We were close to targets like we could pop over and be in a target in like five minutes I mean, it's like a good 25 30 minute drive to a target
01:04:34
Speaker
Just to check a target. Yeah. So not finding figures. What's that like? I know Jordan wouldn't know. Um, who's had the best mullet in wrestling? I'm gonna go with Rick Reed. I love Rick Reed. It's mullet. Uh, when I think wrestling mullet, I think like 1994, 1995 shot. Yeah.
01:04:55
Speaker
I just like the super curly, dude. I like the really curly, highly jailed styled mullet. Shawn Michaels was a little bit more just kind of unruly, kind of wild child, rocker mullet, you know? Yeah, I feel like Shawn was the Rick Rudes almost. Rick Rudes almost. I don't even know if I really defined Rick Rudes as a mullet, man. What? He had a mullet and a genie.
01:05:16
Speaker
He's 89. He kind of had a moment when I straighten out, but I feel like when he was first coming out He kind of just had like a white boy for bro. Look at look at that mullet. That's not a mullet. That's just long curly hair No, look dude. Hold on. Look at this. Well, that's not a mullet. That's not a mullet. Well, you guys are Eddie Guerrero and Yeah, for sure
01:05:38
Speaker
I don't know. I don't really I look at that as more as like long curly hair No, look the sides are way shorter. It's not like it's like long all over I'm not saying you could it's me now. That's more of a mullet right there, but
01:05:52
Speaker
That's not the best mullet ever, man. Which is fine, but you're telling me Rick Rude didn't have a mullet, which is just like a loose form of a mullet. There's a WWE post from 2012 on WWE and it does not list Rick Rude as one of the best mullets in WWE history. You got to think like Tatanka.
01:06:12
Speaker
to talk at a pretty good moment. Brian Dobbs from the Nasty Boys had a pretty good moment. Those are all, dude, Rick Roode had like a sexy, like, you know, like, bullet. I feel like these are all the bullets.
01:06:27
Speaker
All the mullets that you guys are describing, it's the same thing. I just went through this in the mullet competition with Brett, dude. The super extreme, wild child, shaving on the sides, mohawk mullets and shit. Yes, you remember those just because they're crazy hairstyles, but an everyday wearable, good looking, well maintained mullet I think is... There's a lot to be said about that. Ricky Morton had a nice one too.
01:06:55
Speaker
Oh yeah, the Beverly brothers too. They had pretty decent mullets. Brewed after Barbara Beefcake. All right, moving on. I want to know, I want to know from the, yeah, Brew just had a mullet. I want to know from the Foley fam, if you guys, I want you to weigh in and say if Rick Roode had a mullet. Hey, what about Luna Vachon? Luna had a good one. Luna had a pretty damn good mullet, yeah. The fem mullet. Yeah, the fem mullet. The most violent of all mullets, the fem mullet.
01:07:22
Speaker
Would you guys prefer if Basics just had fists instead of only C-grips? Hard to pretend someone's open hand punching, but I feel like kids could just hold the chair next to the fist instead. I like one of each. I take a fist and a... I bet you would take a fist. I bet you would. If I had to. I take the fist-C-grip combo. If I had to pick though, I think I'd go C-grips over fists.
01:07:49
Speaker
the double, double C group. Yeah, going skiing. Degenerates.
Ronda vs Shayna & Collecting Strategies
01:08:03
Speaker
TNT, with Rhonda facing Shayna, who is the face and who is the heel in this? The heel is whoever decided to make it a fucking MMA rules match. Yeah. I think Rhonda's the heel. I think the people are behind Shayna. Even though Shayna's the more like heel, I think she's a beloved heel. I think people are over Rhonda more than anything. Yeah. Yeah. Zach Hertzler, favorite summer slam?
01:08:30
Speaker
92 SummerSlam 90 is an honorable mention. Anybody got any other SummerSlams? I'm going 2022 because we were there. That's right. That was a good ass show. That's right. The Roman and Brock came down with a freaking tractor. They lifted the ring. People were shitting on one more Roman and Brock match, but I think that was right there with their WrestleMania 31 for the best one at all the times they fought.
01:08:57
Speaker
And it was just an epic, like Nashville was just a great wrestling city, I think. I think it was just- I was really hoping they were going to go back this year, man. I was kind of bummed that they didn't go back for SummerSlam this year. And it's not even, is it going to be, where's it going to be next year? They haven't said yet. They may be back. I don't know. They talked a lot about it being in SummerSlam again this year. Marco, did you have a favorite for SummerSlam? Man, I actually, I mean, I just watched recently SummerSlam 88, so I'm going to go with SummerSlam 88.
01:09:24
Speaker
He had, uh, mega powers versus the mega books. Well, I mean, you had like, you had, you had J Y D out there. Um, and then, you know, uh, inadvertently, you're Jake, the snake made him lose the match. Obviously disqualification. And then obviously Jake, the snake came back out and had a match again. It was a, I liked it. It was a, uh, yeah. Warrior winning the, uh, the championship there. Oh, yeah. Yep. He had the, uh, the impromptu, uh, match. Bring anyone down. I don't care. I don't care who it is.
01:09:53
Speaker
And then, you know, gets his ass kicked. Real quick, I wanted to shout out because I didn't even say who sent in those last questions. It was our buddy TNT, Tyson, Neil Trevino sent in the Rhonda Shana question and Zach Hertzler, mainstay in the. You did a good job. Coffee's getting thanks again, Zach, for hooking us up with that, uh, the, the WWE 60th anniversary four pack.
01:10:16
Speaker
Randy Smith, where does the collection end? If the Mattel line ends, do you go back and collect ones that you didn't get? Do you start over with a new wrestling line? How much is too much? We've talked about this a little bit on the show. The way I'd start over is if the scale stayed the same as the Elite AW scale,
01:10:35
Speaker
I would keep it going. But if I'm from a businessman, I think I'm making a brand new scale if I get the WWE license. That's how you can remake all the same fucking figures and sell them again.
01:10:47
Speaker
If the scale changes, I'm out, dude. That's where I'm at with it. Do you just keep the collection you have or do you go? Because we used to have, I mean, we sell figures all the time now because we're not completionists. So what do you do? I think I'd probably just keep it, man. I'd keep it and maybe still add customs here and there to accentuate it and just keep doing what I've been doing, going back and getting older figures. Jordan, what are you doing? Sounds great. Yep. That's what I'm doing. Sounds great.
01:11:16
Speaker
Follow my lead. All right
01:11:19
Speaker
Marco, are you, are you out if, uh, if Mattel loses the license? Uh, yeah, I think so. Especially if the, uh, like you said, the scales off, uh, I can't imagine starting a new, yeah. It's just, it's too much fucking day. Tell if when Mattel loses the license, they're remaking, they're remaking their figures anyway. So it doesn't even, it doesn't even also, I know Seth didn't just say follow his lead after I had to talk about a collecting a classic superstars and go to leads. Like I know set thing talking.
01:11:49
Speaker
Jordan has been a huge influence on my figure collecting. I'll give them that. I know. Think about all those figures that you paid so much for, and we saw them all at WrestleMania 31, but you weren't even collecting elites at that time. There was like all, but we were at WrestleCon and all those, you know. Yeah, you always pay the WrestleCon premium though. It's probably for the best. How about the time that me and Sheena walked past a table of 400 of those pink macho man's?
01:12:13
Speaker
Shut up, dude. I have like super buyers. That's like PTSD every time I think about it and see the prices on eBay. I'm like, Oh my God. What are we thinking? What were we thinking? It was a macho man. Funko. It was the Pink Funko. It was exclusive to WrestleMania. That's the only place they sold it. And me and Sheena were both collecting Funko's. And we were both hardcore into Funko Pops.
01:12:39
Speaker
And for serious business shitload of money at WrestleMania you always think yeah, you just think like oh I'm gonna be able to find this you know what I mean like it's just
01:12:50
Speaker
Speaking of PTSD, man, Chief Jay is back home. Chief Jay Strava is back in the figure collection. Yeah, this is the first show we've done since... Care to see the Mad Reaper. Yeah, so it took a little over a year, but Chief Jay is back safe and sound in the collection where he belongs. Yeah, and he's better than ever, to be honest. He does look incredible. Yeah, he looks incredible. The Mad Reaper's a freaking artist. Yeah, Lane is just a freaking magician, dude. I don't know how he does it, but he's incredible.
01:13:15
Speaker
Sam Rosenthal is Jordan, the best figure finder MVP of the group. Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah, you have to 100%. Sam also says, what is your favorite stipulation match? Side note, I wish these matches were saved for running feuds and not just randomly made Jordan. What's your favorite? Stip match ladder match by far. I feel like when they do a good ladder match, there's just nothing that beats it.
01:13:42
Speaker
Yeah, it is exciting, dude, like anytime you just see somebody just take a nice tall fall, and then they like land on another ladder, like it's just, it's kind of starting to get annoying, though, that they don't do very many singles ladders matches anymore. It's always got to be like a four way or an eight way like, we just get like some single ladder matches again. I love those matches.
01:14:03
Speaker
Right. We don't do TLC anymore. Triple H has gone away from the gimmick matches as the basis for a pay-per-view. I love a good one-on-one, man. Obviously, Sean and Razor from way back in the day, WrestleMania 10, rematch, Summer 795. Seth and Dean had a great one at Money in the Bank 2015. It's a really good blow-off to a feud, man. It's a lot of emotion.
01:14:26
Speaker
If you want a more low-key one, it wasn't a main event level match. Dolph Ziggler and Luke Harper from TLC 2014. That's a fucking bad-ass 10-minute ladder match. Yeah, I'm with you, dude. The one-on-one ladder match, you can get a ton of drama going. It's different, man, because you get some ebbs and flows. The Money in the Bank style matches, they're fun, but it's just fucking constant car crash. You become numb to it after a little bit.
01:14:50
Speaker
Uh, yeah, the one-on-womans are really, really cool. My favorite man, it's the nostalgia one dude. I miss the, the old school big blue cage, man. Like I feel like the cage matches back in the eighties and nineties would always be so hype, man. Now the cage is almost like passé because there's so many other like crazy violent matches, but I love the good old school cage match. Good one. All right. Um, put my mail back up here.
01:15:15
Speaker
Sam says, have any of you watched Wow? Supposedly it's doing, and that's women of wrestling, I'm assuming. I have not. Supposedly it's doing 300 and 100 and 400 K in ratings. To be honest, I didn't even know that it was like regularly on the air. I remember reading about when it was starting up because AJ Lee was involved with it, but I didn't even know that it was like an actual thing. Yeah, he said no idea. I feel like nobody talks about it. Somebody's watching it.
01:15:37
Speaker
What's, what is this on? I've never even heard of this. I thought this is like a world of Warcraft promotion. Yeah. Like I said, I remember hearing about the startup just cause AJ Lee was going to be involved, but I did not know it was going to be on the air or anything. They just took over Brandy's heels. They did. Oh, it's on CW. The Wayans brothers and stuff. Wayans brothers. Wow. Throwback. Um,
01:16:05
Speaker
Yeah, I do not watch it, have not watched it. Jordan is the women's wrestling aficionado, so you turn him on to something. Sam Rosenthal, are UK wrestlers just built different? Every match, Tyler Bate, Dragunoff and Pete Dunne are in, it's just a banger. Our Uncle Phil Dunne, it says, it's just people from the UK in general.
01:16:29
Speaker
I think they definitely got a way of training them that it's based in realism, man. It just looks like a real athletic competition and they're trying to beat the guy and get the victory. It's not as much about the showmanship and stuff. It's definitely something to that British style. I'm a big fan. I love NXT UK. I was bummed when they closed that down. Yeah, it's British strong style is a very prevalent
01:16:52
Speaker
with, uh, with all those guys. And it's a, I mean, they don't like say it, like obviously in commentary, but that's pretty much what it is. That's why they wrestle like that. And that's style of, uh, wrestling. It's because the blokes are always all liquored up. I think, I was going to say, I think they're just, I think, yeah, I think every, you know, portrayal of, I mean, every portrayal, like people from the UK that I see is, yeah, they're just like tough, like roughnecks, drunks. Yeah. They're getting a pint, dude, just drinking it in the middle of the fucking day. You know what I mean? And like, it's just.
01:17:21
Speaker
fish and chips that resemble a bar fight. That's why I put your fill up as a, it's just like a, just a dude, just like, you know, just beating people up and, uh, and pubs shake people down for the, uh, for the picture. Oh yeah. He's coming into your inbox, cracking knuckles never saw a card. He felt the need to pick on time.
01:17:47
Speaker
Phil can pick any one of his choosing in the UK and me and Seth are still taking them down. Proper ass kicking from the US. He wants to fight you. He actually wants to fight you if you like put him in early too. Nevermind. If it's too early, like what the hell are you doing? It's like, what do you mean?
01:18:07
Speaker
Marco's starting to get his picks in early. He got, he got shook down too many times by Phil in past seasons. So now he's getting his picks into early. And he's still mad that I'm putting him in early. So I don't, I can't win. Phil doesn't even shake me down anymore. He knows mine are coming like an hour before the deadline every week.
01:18:23
Speaker
That's me. I put mine right into the freaking spreadsheet now. I'm just pumping them in. Johnny JB, with Samoa Joe acting in Twisted Metal, what other wrestlers can you see taking a role in the current series in Hollywood? That show is really good, by the way. We finished it last night. It is really good. Yeah, I got it on the list to watch officially. I can see it.
01:18:46
Speaker
He's a little high profile right now in wrestling, but I can see Seth Rollins doing something in, um, Rollins is in the new captain. Oh, that's right. Yeah, you're right.
01:18:57
Speaker
Yeah. Everybody could see him doing it. You're right. I think you've ended like a series, like, uh, like who, what, what wrestler could you see? So he's not going to be quite as good as Rollins, just like you can be in a TV series. Yeah, not a blockbuster film. Yeah. Who would be a good, good recurring role? They need to remake Thunder and Paradise, but setting like the Samoan islands with the whole like bloodline, like running the show and like,
01:19:25
Speaker
You got fucking Roman is like, you know, Hulk Hogan's role. You got like off in Sika, like running a Tiki bar on the beach. Kishi shows up every once in a while. Yeah. Let's get, let's get the Samoan version of thunder. Yeah. Eighteen. You can bring back the 18 and throw out and throw one of those guys in there as a recurring character.
01:19:43
Speaker
Yeah. Well, Cody, we already said he's got good acting chops. He'll probably be in some sort of a show after he wins his world title and is cooling down from his world title run. I can see him doing some Hollywood business. He's too much of a cornball. I see Cody being in a Hallmark movie. He's like the hometown bartender and the girl from the big city comes back home to rediscover the spirit of Christmas. And then Brandi's going to come and say, who the hell told you tonight? I was like, bitch.
01:20:10
Speaker
I could see him doing like a, like a law and order type of type of deal Cody Rhodes. Yeah, like a detective like detective Rhodes here. What should people do with the facial expressions like 100% Yeah, he would be interviewing somebody like you know, in the little interrogation room. I could 100% see that happening. His list is really going to take it over the top too.
01:20:35
Speaker
Oh boy. They'll just edit that out. Hollywood's got ways. Zach Hertzler wants to know, what food are you craving that you haven't had in a while? For me, it's a good giant container of poke, dude. Yeah, I always go back to my Hawaiian foods because pretty much everything else on the mainland, I'm able to track down or at least get a pretty good
01:20:59
Speaker
a
Nostalgia & Food Cravings
01:21:00
Speaker
copy of it. So two things, one, the poke, like Sheena said, just the fresh, you know, the fresh sushi style fish over some rice. And then at AIA Bowl in Hawaii, they had the Coca-Cola turkey sandwich. It's a
01:21:14
Speaker
A turkey breast sandwich that gets with chunks of roasted turkey breast, and it's soaked in Coca-Cola overnight, and it just gives us this crazy flavor. It makes it super tender. It was the best sandwich ever. It was from a bowling alley, too. Yeah, from a bowling alley. Well, it's a bowling alley, but this bowling alley is known for its food and stuff. It's a restaurant, yeah. What might be a concession stand? Guy Fieri went there when they did diners, dive-ins.
01:21:37
Speaker
Dive-ins, dive-ins and drives. Whatever it's called. He took it to flavor town and he would die able. I also miss, I also miss, like we've made homemade Spamasubis and they're pretty damn good dude, like straight up. But there is nothing better than a Spamasubi that's been sitting in a little hot tray from 7-11. Steaming inside the little cellophane room. Dude, it's so good man. That was one of my favorite things I ate the whole time I was in Hawaii.
01:22:04
Speaker
This is when I would like, I would always get a couple of those to take one of you for like a snack when I go fishing. And sometimes I'd forget about one to like the next day. So it's like a day to like, you know, 24 hours of dry aging and stuff. It's just on point, man. Dude, I mean, dude, spam has so many preservatives. You could leave that shit out for a week. When you let it set for that long, like all the grease and fat, whatever chemicals are in the spam, it's all just soaked down the rice. The rice gets a little bit crispy. Like, yeah, it's just on point, man.
01:22:29
Speaker
Yeah, if any of our listeners ever make their way to the islands, definitely- Hit up 7-11. Hit up 7-11, you're gonna think- 7-11 has some crazy food options. Yeah, you're gonna think like, it's not like mainland 7-11, dude. It's just a whole different experience. And they're all kind of like little rundown. They're totally unassuming. It's not like a wah-wah or a Bucky's or a Sheets or anything where you're just like, wow, it's literally just like a little old 7-11 parked in the middle of a freaking, between
01:22:58
Speaker
a strip mall and, you know, a rundown building. But, uh, yeah, they got bangin' misoobies and like all kinds of just Asian cuisines. Oh, so good. Seth took me to a 7-Eleven when I was in Hawaii after we did a Target Fig hunt and I was absolutely fucking disgusted. I was like, dude, are you serious right now? You want me to try something out of this machine? It's probably been sitting here all day. He's like, I'm telling you, it's good.
01:23:21
Speaker
Fact, it was delicious. First of all, yeah, you know, you think that there ain't no way, like I've seen them sold out of Spam Masoobies multiple times a day, dude. All that shit is always fresh because people are always eating from the 7-Eleven. It's a bummer when all the good Spam Masoobies are going. Yeah, they had one that was like a pepper bacon Masoobie and it was like the bacon was just like kind of rendered down super soft and it was like on the Masoobie with the Spam.
01:23:44
Speaker
Yeah, it was freaking delicious, dude. So that's what I, as you can tell, we're really excited and we've been craving our, uh, our Hawaiian delicacies. What about you, Jordan? What's a food you've been craving? You know, the cool thing is, is, uh, we're getting a Hawaiian brothers restaurant here and they make Spamosubi and they're supposedly really good. Like the people that created that restaurant were from Hawaii.
01:24:05
Speaker
Um, but we're getting one here next summer. So that's cool. Yeah. I'm going to get a few for the road, man. Next time you make a visit, dude, pack them over here. Well, they got it in Kansas city too. So I can get one a little closer or, or I could just leave it on the roof. That way it dries out and stuff the way you want it.
01:24:26
Speaker
I got so, you know, I had to go down to Texas for work last week and I stopped at Bucky's on Friday morning back home. Yeah. I got a big Texas club sandwich. This is super delicious sandwich that they have. And I knew I was, I got full off like the brisket tacos that I got for breakfast. And dude, I sit that motherfucker in the dash all the way, that seven hour drive back to Oakland, Tennessee, man. That thing was on point by the time I got home.
01:24:46
Speaker
Hey bro, I would like to just bring this up. It's been over a year now. Don't you remember the excitement I had in my voice when we passed that soon to be Bucky's and you were ripping on me like, it's just a fucking gas station. Now, every time you go to Texas, you're like, no. Now you're like, oh dude, now I get it. Oh, they love me, dude. If they have like a Bucky's store credit card, I'd already fucking have that shit in my reward points maxed out.
01:25:10
Speaker
Yeah. He brought me home a brisket sandwich and that thing is money, man. Yeah. It's crazy that you can get that quality of food from a freaking gas station, man. Dude, I'm telling you. It's a store with gas. I wouldn't even call it a gas station, dude. It's a store that also sells gas. What about you, Marco? What's something you've been craving?
01:25:35
Speaker
Something I haven't had in a while, damn. Probably a cheesesteak, nice cheesesteak, like a really good one. Yeah, nice cheesesteaking a lot. Do you go fully authentic with the Cheez Whiz on it, or do you put actual cheese on it, Marco? No, I do actual cheese. I don't do... Yeah, I don't do the Cheez Whiz either. Do you do all the stinkers, the peppers, onions, all that? Of course, yeah. Always. Yeah.
01:26:01
Speaker
Load it up. Yeah, we used to get a... If you're in Virginia, you know Zeros. We used to get a... Zeros have a mini cheesesteak. A killer cheesesteak from Zeros subs in the 757. Yeah, that's probably the best restaurant cheesesteak I've had. Is that it for listener mail? That's it for listener mail. All right, so you can remind the listeners that they can find you on social media, and then we'll hit Marco. He's in the hot seat for the trivia question this week. All right.

Wrestling Trivia & Fun Moments
01:26:50
Speaker
Oh, damn it. It's funny that we got a SummerSlam question because this was totally random.
01:27:00
Speaker
Let me see if it's a repo man. It has to be a good guy, so... Oh, boss man? Is that wrong? It's probably wrong.
01:27:09
Speaker
I fought nails. I knew it. Why did I think demolition explodes? Hold on, dude. Wait, I'm going to give him the. I just gave an answer. Yeah, repo man and crush dude. Yeah, repo and crush. That's right. Everybody gives all the love to Hogan and Savage at WrestleMania five. But fucking repo man and crush acts and crush fought at summer. That's a real explodes match. Yeah.
01:27:33
Speaker
Yeah. Speaking of which, we need both those guys in elite form. That's two of the biggest missing ones, man. If they... I think first things first, if they get those guys back on their license, give us some Ultimate Edition Demolition, but then hit us with all the variations of Crush and give us Repo, man. Yep. All right. She and his with some closing thoughts and we'll get out of here this week. Support your local Superman.
