00:03:13
Speaker
Take a look, Evans is live and going, there's a ton of figs on there that you can add to your collection if you don't have already. I believe I see some of the newer figures on there, like Lacey Evans is on there right now. A lot of that new Elite series is on that sale page, so definitely scroll through and take a look.
00:03:34
Speaker
Yeah, I bought that Lacey Evans and I have it on. It's kind of pending because I bought it with the Otis and the Tucker. The Otis was out of stock and still out of stock. So I'm kind of in a predicament here. But if you haven't ordered it yet, if you want that Lacey Evans, you get it for $24.99. There's a bunch of good figures on sale there. So check it out, wrestlingfigures.com. It's a great thing about Ringside.
Product Endorsements and Discoveries
00:03:59
Speaker
So many websites don't give you discounts on new releases.
00:04:04
Speaker
Like they could easily be like, these just came out. They're not part of our.
00:04:09
Speaker
sell, they're not part of our discount, so it's really cool that they offer that on everything on their website. Lacey Evans is not even in, I mean, Lead76 hasn't even hit stores yet, so. Yeah, you're unlikely to see that, so. Yeah, I do want to talk, before we get into any figure talk, I made one of the best purchases of my life. They are not sponsoring the show, but I think I sent it to you guys in the Inner Circle group chat. This Casper pillow I bought
00:04:36
Speaker
Oh my god, this thing is like sleeping on Dolly Parton, man. It is like literally the perfect mix of firm and soft pillows. I don't like really soft pillows, but I need something to prop my head up. I hit my head on this pillow and just fall asleep. They're not paying me to say this at all. I didn't even know Casper made pillows. I only made mattresses.
00:05:03
Speaker
If you're not getting the sleep you need, definitely check it out. I think it was like 50 bucks at Target or something. And you bought one or did you buy the wife a pillow? No, my wife sleeps with seven pillows.
00:05:18
Speaker
She has one, and they have to be like, they're like the width of like a WWF magazine. Like, she likes her pillows super thin so she can like fold them up like 10 times and like, she has a pillow that goes over her head and one goes like, she like surrounds herself with like seven pillows. And I just need one, I just need one for my head. I don't need all this other shit, so. We're very different in that aspect, but you know.
00:05:47
Speaker
Uh, so yeah, that is my pickup of the week, uh, non-wrestling and also, uh, the El Segundo Brewery, uh, finally touching down here in Maryland with the, uh, the Broken Skull IPAs, which, uh, uh, the guys from Boots to the Face, Boots to the Face sent me one month ago and I never thought it was even going to be here in Maryland, Marco, is now
00:06:09
Speaker
and
00:06:22
Speaker
I've been talking to my stores about this. They're all like, who's this wrestling guy? What are you talking about? Like I said, dude, this is a good beer. Just like, make sure you buy it when it comes in. And they all like called me at the same time. Like, Hey man, this beer is here. Do you want some? So, uh, I picked it up. It's, you know, I've had a couple tonight. They're really good. I'm going to bring them to the beach next week while I go on vacation. So,
Recent Purchases and Collections
00:06:42
Speaker
uh, I'm excited about that. So another, another good non wrestling figure pickup. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:49
Speaker
That bear is super smooth, especially if you're not into IPAs and you're trying to jump into that field, because everyone's drinking IPAs now. I think it's like a perfect IPA to start with. It's not too strong. It's super smooth. It's made by the greatest wrestler of all time, or as Vince McMahon called it, the greatest superstar of all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin. And there's one thing that Stone Cold knows. It's bears. So I know a thing or two about bears, God damn it.
00:07:20
Speaker
Let's start with Mike. Since he's our guest here, he can go first and tell us his pickups of the week. Let's see. You mentioned the collar and elbow shirt that Zach picked up. I actually grabbed one of those myself, too, for great cause. Where they ship from is in Somerset, Kentucky. That's only a couple hours away from me.
00:07:48
Speaker
great material that that shirt's made of. It's very comfortable, very lightweight. So plus just the cause itself. So that's a nice pickup. Also got the the chalk line Halloween Michael Myers shorts. I was I was waiting for those after they announced them was on my way to work the day they went on sale. It had kind of slipped to my mind. And luckily Sheena was quick on the gun to be like, these are on sale.
00:08:17
Speaker
Now she probably purchased the ones for Seth first before she sent me that message. Got to get herself out of the way first. Right. Uh, I did grab them. They sold out pretty quickly. Uh, who knows if those will get restocked or not. Uh, those have already arrived. So they, you basically purchase them and the turnaround on that's less than a couple of days. So very comfortable. They look really good too. And then, uh, got two or three different orders this week.
00:08:46
Speaker
Uh, from our friends over at a homage, a couple of shirts, a couple of like crew sweatshirts that were on clearance because it's, it's hot as blazes outside right now. Uh, but those will do well, uh, when the Kentucky winter. Fall weather type stuff hits in a late October. So a couple of different, uh, sponsors of the show, but no wrestling figures here. Nothing that I need at the moment, even though there's, they keep announcing all this new Japan stuff and this
00:09:15
Speaker
Jericho bubbly figure and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna end up having to pick that up. So Yeah, but haven't made the purchase yet, but it's gonna end up happening a bunch of cool stuff coming down the pike as People are relaxing from COVID-19 Marco any pickups this week Wrestling or non-wrestling? Yeah, so actually like yeah, I can't wait for the actual Jericho a little bit of a bubbly and
00:09:41
Speaker
Um, because I believe they, uh, I think that since it's not out yet, I believe they're going to use like the label from his actual, um, bubbly drink for the company that he works with. Yeah. Um, that's good. So since it's not out yet, they have enough time to do that. So that's going to be pretty cool. It's going to be the actual little bit of the bubbly Chris Jericho, um, drink that he has. So that's going to be pretty sick. Um, I have.
00:10:08
Speaker
received the, what I call the classy and sassy combination pack, which is a classy Freddie Blassie, that figure, as well as Lacey Evans. So those are two really awesome figures that I think go well together. I actually tweeted about it and someone responded and they said, they're like, oh, that's a pretty cool pick. I was like, yeah. I was like, I'm trying to get ringside to sell them as a combo. You know, they sell those like combo things.
00:10:38
Speaker
Sassy and classy combo and actually liked it and retweeted Hey if they have a classy and sassy combo on their website, it's yours truly set that up for you guys Nothing much of way I'm still waiting for the feed feed hasn't showed up yet I think I'm pretty sure I ordered it on the second leave if I don't
00:11:01
Speaker
I remember correctly or something with Rick Rude because I ordered that with Rick Rude So if Rick Rude sold out that might be another I may be waiting a long time. So
Exciting Figure Announcements
00:11:11
Speaker
and now I'm getting kind of scared about the Rick Rude debacle that's happening with the
00:11:17
Speaker
with the robe leaving rocks on the figure and stuff like that. Yeah, so the robe leaves like a black mark all over it. The figures are shipped with the robe on it, I think, right? Yeah. People are upset about that. And you can't see like the, they both have, there's two different Rick Rude figures. They have different outfits. One's with the painted on intercontinental title on the tights. And the other one is warrior painted on it. So yeah, so waiting for those. And I'm still waiting for my,
00:11:47
Speaker
Jack's WrestleMania 17 collection that consists of, that's a 14 karat gold belts that come with, it's a China edge. Where'd you get this from? Edward Bay. Oh, nice. So yeah, so yeah, it's six figures. It's, I believe it's Eddie, some cold edge, China, and I forget the other two, but yeah, that should be hopefully coming soon. So all been T fresh.
00:12:16
Speaker
I started China collection, not sure. So
00:12:21
Speaker
Pretty easy to do those collections are the best when like yeah tell me like what they start collecting like You know it's like I love the Kurt angle collection because there's a bunch of jacks, but there's not a ton of Mattels for him, so it's easy to keep track of and This looks cool on the shelf so like you know that would be cool like China. I'm sure she has some jacks figures, but She has you know just one Mattel coming out soon, so I
00:12:46
Speaker
I have made a big boy purchase from our buddy on Instagram at buy, sell, trade toys. I believe it is. Let me pull it up. Hold on. I just had it up here. I want to credit him properly. Yeah, buy, sell, trade toys. Great Instagram account. I've bought from a couple of times. Very quick shipping. Awesome dude to deal with. Doesn't haggle you too much on prices.
00:13:13
Speaker
I got the NWO Macho Madness WWE Elite, I think it was a ringside exclusive, and I got the Wolfpack Macho Man Mattel Elite to add to the Macho Man collection. So those were, you know, sent me back a little bit, but I wanted to add those to the Macho Man collection.
00:13:34
Speaker
love those guys I got in I posted the picture of the collection on to Twitter or Facebook and our buddy Jermaine Jeremiah Smith Rouse hit me up said I did I got this macho man basic if you need it so I'll definitely hit him up for that
00:13:51
Speaker
He's in our Facebook group, so thank you, Jeremiah. Appreciate you there. Mike over there, Mike Lanham, is sending me the Roman Reigns and the Rey Mysterio Masters of the Universe figures, which you've been sitting on for a while. I bought
WWE and AEW Discussion
00:14:06
Speaker
those for the kid because a couple of weekends ago, I gave him all the ones I've been sitting on, the Sting and the Finn Balor and all those, and he freaking loves them, pulling the arms off and the legs off and switching them around.
00:14:19
Speaker
this is some pretty cool figures there and um i got my son is into these he's into star wars mike i don't know you've are you the one that you've seen star wars right like the movies yes the movies yeah we've we've had this discussion we have had yeah for some reason i thought i've seen
00:14:37
Speaker
the first one and bits and pieces of the other have yet to really watch it all.
00:14:58
Speaker
Take the arms and the heads off and switch them all around. And I found a lot on eBay for like 15 bucks, which was cool. It didn't bid on it until like 15 seconds left. Was able to grab it for him and grab that. So pretty cool. We have some cool figure news that has come out. The biggest one was hearing from our buddies at Heroes Hideout.
00:15:23
Speaker
that the Fiend is going to get an Ultimate Edition figure, Mike. And this is off the heels of just getting this Elite 77. Right. It almost makes you sort of, but not feel bad for the people who are overspending on this Fiend Elite that's out currently because they don't want to wait to get one. And then possibly before the end of the year, we're going to see the Ultimate Edition. I know there's been a couple of rumors of who he's going to be paired with and stuff like that, but
00:15:52
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be exciting to see what's in that and the details that they add because this elite is really good minus not having, I guess, the jacket might be the only complaint we're really seeing from people who have received it. But this
Entertainment Recommendations
00:16:05
Speaker
elite is going to be the best selling figure of the year as it is. And then you're going to turn around and have an ultimate version sometime, hopefully by the end of 2020.
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah, I got three on the way. I know Marco just said he's got one or two on the way. I'm still excited about this elite figure. I've seen it close up. It's dope looking. It's awesome. I don't know what they're going to do with the Ultimate Edition. I guess the only thing, Marco, is just adding that jacket to it, maybe touching up a little bit, making the outfit a little bit more realistic, or kind of true to a match that he had. I don't know.
00:16:46
Speaker
It would be cool to me Marco to do like a Firefly fun house where you did maybe the box turns around you got the the Bray Wyatt like You know, mr. Rogers Bray Wyatt on one side and you have the Fiend on the other side They might do a two-in-one figure you never know they might have like a the The Bray Wyatt the Firefly front house Bray Wyatt and the Fiend switch the heads out switch the bodies out you never who knows what they're gonna do with it out of puppets might come with it like little
00:17:15
Speaker
Little versions of the Firefly Firehouse puppets. The mallet, I know people are bringing that up. The mallet that he had to pretty much smash and kill the rabbit. That might come with it. The universal title that he had could be an accessory with it too. So definitely don't know. I see a lot of people going, oh, well, I don't have to get this figure. I'll just wait until the Ultimate Edition comes out. I was like, no, you want the.
00:17:42
Speaker
the first feed figure ever to appear. Why would you not want that? It's going to be a collector's item. It's the very first feed figure. Yeah, you can definitely get the ultimate edition.
00:17:52
Speaker
You're definitely going to want that first one, I think. It's going to be a while. I think in November, December, and it looks like, I think the, so we have Becky and John Cena is the Ultimate Edition 5, and then 6 is going to be Rock and Charlotte. So that, I thought I would think would go for pre-order pretty soon. Same thing with Elite 78. I feel like any day now, definitely by the end of the month.
00:18:14
Speaker
Uh, because we already know it's going to be Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the Fiend. And I feel like, you know, I've, I've told people on this show several times, like these ultimate additions are going to be, you know, in a year or two in the triple digit range for figures. Like they're already climbing now. Yeah. They're, they're the best looking figures out there. They're super detailed, super articulate. And now that we're adding all these other, you know, these Hollywood Hogan and the Fiend that's going to really just skyrocket stuff. So.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah. Well, to have those two, like at the same time, like if you had spread it and put like a Becky or a scene or something with one or the other, just to kind of break it up. Cause you've had other figures of them, but you're getting your, probably your best version of Hollywood Hogan and a fiend at the same time. And if it ends up being at the end of the year, yeah, it's going to be too really hot, maybe hard to find items. So definitely when ringside puts those up, the pre-orders are going to be.
00:19:12
Speaker
insane another thing people complain about but the fiend it's in that summer slam package is not like really yeah i mean hopefully with the ultimate edition they've they're all very like white i have him behind me here if you can see this guy at the top shelf there but they're you know they're very white and red like kind of bright packages maybe maybe for the fiend you do it just like an all black box and just have his
00:19:33
Speaker
his picture or his face on the side of it. I mean, there's a ton of things you can do with it. Like you said, the puppets and all that kind of stuff. So I'm sure they're going to go all out with that. Do the I'm sure we'll get that fiend belt, you know, the with his face on it. Yeah. So we'll see. So that was pretty cool.
Gaming and Podcast Shoutouts
00:19:52
Speaker
So shout out to our buddies at Heroes Hideout for for that.
00:19:56
Speaker
And I guess smites over in UK. I don't know what that is I guess it's like a Walmart type of shit type of store posted a picture of this NXT war games ring which looks so freakin dope It's like two basic rings together with like a cage around it obviously, you know similar I see to Was that kids? Sorry Marco
00:20:24
Speaker
So two basic rings with the steel cage around it. I think it's, you know, it's a must have for me, for my son. I think he would love it. And, you know, Mattel, I don't know if Mattel is pissed that all these things are leaked out or if they're the ones leaking it out. But, you know, without Comic Con this year, what are you going to do? I mean, you're still going to have a lot of reveals, I think, happen, but obviously all these people are working from home.
00:20:53
Speaker
So I guess if you're sharing info, I mean, is it them leaking it on purpose? Is it just accidentally gets out somehow? But I think it helps grow the excitement for something that makes up for sure. Yeah. I mean, I mean, like the, uh, the fiend figure sales were going to be great. Anyways, the, the Freddy Blassie, we've talked about how that's probably one of the best figures we've seen. Like, I don't think we have any problem with some of this stuff being leaked out as long as it's not.
00:21:23
Speaker
a year away, maybe if it helps get the stuff out on shelves quicker, it doesn't lose the, uh, the like pizzazz and the, the build behind it. If you, if you have it sooner than later, I guess the people see it now and then it's like, Oh, it's not coming out till next March or something. That's kind of, that kind of hurts it. So, you know,
Classic Wrestling Highlights
00:21:44
Speaker
you gotta think too, um, with the, uh, STCC, uh, they're doing, they're doing like a virtual version of it. So it's obviously,
00:21:52
Speaker
A lot of those are canceled. All those events are canceled because of COVID-19, but they're going to be doing like a, I think it's called, what they name it, something weird. It was like something at home or Comic Con at home or something like that, the San Diego Comic Con. So you'll be able to like view that stuff virtually. So I'm assuming a lot of those stuff that they're leaking now, you'll see actual things, like maybe like the feed and figure might actually be there.
00:22:21
Speaker
What do you what do you guys estimate the price will end up being on that that war game set war games? Two rings two rings the big cage all the little accessories I guess come with it 70 bucks about say is it's under $100 right is it 70 80 I Mean this this elite elite scale rings were like pushing a hundred bucks right weren't they 80 or 90?
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah, so I might be a little bit over that. It might be. Could be in the 120 issue. Are they are they are they scale rank? No, they're they're basic rings. OK, so yeah. Yeah, I mean, you package it all together. If you want it to sell, it has to be under $100. It probably has to be. Like you said, I don't think it could be over 70 if you want to see good sales. But I guess it depends on how available the thing is like.
00:23:16
Speaker
Do you put that on the shelves at the stores? Is it a ringside exclusive? I guess we see. War games. War games. I think it's... I love Steven Ringo so much. William Ringo, whatever the hell his name is now. Lord Steven.
00:23:42
Speaker
I mean, I think people will buy it for sure. And some of the people on our Twitter were responding like, oh man, I wish it was more, it's kind of like more like, you know, it's like the sides pop out and it's like plastic. I wish it was made of water, steel. I'm like, dude, this is, we clicked
00:24:00
Speaker
toys that are made for kids. It's made for kids. You know, like, dude, like I'm going to end up buying that thing for my nephew for Christmas. Like, yeah, I'd love to have one, but I like it looks like something he would play with because they can burst out of the side of the cage. Yeah, it's open and on top. Like it's all right there in the box. Like I get it. It's kind of like the chamber and stuff they've had. Like everybody wants it to scale and stuff. It's like, where are you putting all this? Yeah, exactly.
00:24:28
Speaker
How much space do you have? I think the Corvette that Braun Strowman beat up like, oh, it doesn't have a stick shift. Where's the gas tank on it? Dude, no one cares. This is for seven-year-olds to figure out down the stairs. Yeah, exactly. You have to remember that sometimes.
00:24:48
Speaker
But that's cool. And also we saw a list of figures from another company, another just local store. I think they're their action figures and Deloers who I saw it on their Facebook group. It's a list of all the things he was like ordering for a store. One of them was a Bret Hart Goldberg Elite two pack.
00:25:08
Speaker
And this is, I guess, the first WCW Bret Hart that we've ever gotten. This is from when he had the steel plate strapped himself and Goldberg tried to spear him. Bret Hart's nipples were real hard. Yeah. As the Major Brothers pointed out this week on their show. I guess I need to go back and watch that. I just never noticed Bret Hart's nipples that much. Their cheeks from that metal clip. Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:38
Speaker
I mean they have plenty of WCW rivalries they could do if they wanted to do Two Pack elites going forward. Give me some examples. I can think of like a Ric Flair, Hogan like early before NWO, Two Pack would be cool. That'd be nice. DDP Raven would be a nice one. Always like their rivalry.
00:26:07
Speaker
What is a DDP macho, man? They had that like year long rivalry at the head going. Yeah. Well, you could just stand the state of the sting. Hogan one is too easy. You know, just do a regular elite. I mean, if we're getting an ultimate edition, Hollywood Hogan might as well give us a an elite Hollywood Hogan at the at the same thing you could do disco inferno versus the bouncers of the strip club. You know, I've been awesome. Yeah, they could do it. I wish he obviously he's not there anymore, but Jericho de Malenko would have been pretty cool. Do you get like a little list?
00:26:37
Speaker
The list of 1004 holds.
00:26:41
Speaker
Jericho you can do Jericho and Ralphis, you know, okay. Yeah Yes, there's a ton of them so But it will be cool to have a WCW Brett Hart, which we haven't gotten from Mattel yet so look for that I guess later on this year and the last thing that came out was the We talked about the the wrecking the wrecking set. Oh Another thing from our buddies at heroes hideout. They posted a picture of a I guess it's one of those wrecking play sets, but it's
00:27:11
Speaker
It's got a motorcycle, and it has almost like the Boneyard match set. I guess it's either going to have AJ Styles or Undertaker or what. I don't know who it's going to be. I don't know if it's going to be basic figures. The details are very sketchy, but our buddies at Heroes Hideout posted the photo. So I mean, that's a quick turnaround for Mattel, for sure. I mean, that was two months ago. Usually it's like two years in the future is when they get stuff out.
00:27:40
Speaker
I don't know when
00:27:56
Speaker
You know, 77 is shipping now to people with the Fiend. So we will see. And it sounds like stores are starting to get at least one store I saw on Twitter. Marco got Elite 76 with Alicia Evans and Otis. I think that was in California. So those are starting to hit here and there. But as always, the best place to go is Ringside Collectibles.
00:28:20
Speaker
don't go to five Walmarts in a day and walk past a bunch of people coughing in their masks and staying in line for half an hour and waste a half a tank of gas just to save $4. Come on, let's be smart. Let's be adults here. And Walmart raised their elite prices back up, pretty sure, across the board. And I saw people complaining on Twitter about it. They're like,
00:28:46
Speaker
I made them market back down to the $14 that it was. And I'm like, they raised the price because of the scarcity and the popularity. Like that's the price now. So you're, you're getting closer to that ringside premium you're paying to get those figures months in advance or, or at all, cause you may never see it at your Walmart or Target.
00:29:10
Speaker
I know you guys both collect these tell me about these NECA teams reaching Ninja Turtle movie two packs that are re-releasing I Think but he might can probably speak more to this because but I actually want to buy them Yeah, that's my that's my part of this. Yeah Yeah, when I saw them go up I sent it to you because they they originally came in a four-pack for comic-con a couple years ago and then they were sold and
00:29:37
Speaker
almost a year after Comic Con exclusively at GameStop for the, uh, the four, the four turtles. Uh, and then they discontinued all men brought out like splinter and shredder and the foot clan this year at GameStop. And now these are coming in a two pack, uh, two two packs. And then there's a couple of other more guys being added to the line, but they're going to be Walmart exclusives this time around.
00:30:03
Speaker
So I know the new figures in the line are going to be out sometime in June or July. Uh, who knows if Walmart will let you pre-order them like you've been able to some of these, these WWE figures lately, or if it'll just be luck of the draw, if you find them at, at the store, because they put all those kinds of figures in the, uh, electronic section. They're not, they're not with the other, the other toys, all their neck of stuff.
00:30:27
Speaker
and their movie based stuff and pop figures, all of those are in the electronics with the video games and stuff like that. So it'll be interesting with Walmart getting the exclusivity this time around, how hard this stuff ends up being to fun. But yeah, they're great looking figures, like Nekojist has really taken over as the movie figure and the horror and the icons and stuff like that.
00:30:56
Speaker
If Mattel ever loses that wrestling license, NECA could be somebody that would be a nice pick to come and swoop in and grab that if that was an option.
00:31:09
Speaker
I was going to talk about these. WWE.com has been doing this fan takeover poll. They did the first series of figures. I think it was Adam Cole, Baszler, Rollins, and Steamboat was the first series. Now they've done Christian and X-Pac.
00:31:27
Speaker
And basically, they give you three options. You get to pick which figure you want to see made between all the different iterations and outfits that this person has worn. This week, they had 123kid, kind of the XPOC returning to WWE and the NWO XPOC. This is a great idea, guys. I like this a lot. All the figures they've chosen have been like, you know,
00:31:54
Speaker
Adam Cole was like a black paratite or a yellow paratite or a silver paratite. It's a great idea and concept like Shayna Baszler in black outfit or a red outfit. It's just like, give me something a little bit different. I guess they're kind of doing it here with...
00:32:11
Speaker
with a 1-2-3 kid and X-Pac, I would love to see maybe do a Papa Shango, a Godfather, and a what else, a Kama. Give me like three different people. Pick people that had such different gimmicks. They're radically different. You know what I mean? That's kind of like being greedy, I guess, but I'm allowed to be greedy.
00:32:32
Speaker
It is a cool idea. I don't know. They're on the series, too. I don't know when series one is going to get made. I guess when people vote, they still have to then tool it and get it made and shipped down, all that kind of stuff. Do you have a favorite of those three, Phil? Because the one, two, three kid kind of looks like the million dollar corporation deal version. It's not the blue lightning one that was already released before. It's a rare.
00:33:01
Speaker
I do like that, too. I personally like that. I mean, obviously, it would be nice to have an NWX spot if you don't have something like that to go with the rest of the NWO. But I kind of prefer the Hill early version. But I don't know how it would be else. That would fit into more of my new generation collection, I feel like. Because the blue tights is like, that feels more like 93 when he first debuted in Beat Razor. I think that was 93 or 94.
00:33:31
Speaker
Yeah, that's the one I would pick, but I know a lot of people, you know, I would feel like N.W.O. would probably win, because I'm sure people are trying to build up a N.W.O. figure collection. So, uh, with, you know, makes sense. That would be cool to display, have a bunch of N.W.O. figures, so.
00:33:48
Speaker
Again, we'll see where it goes. I'm sure they're going to announce two more of these figures. They just kind of happened randomly. They just, they, WWE just posted on Twitter and, uh, people vote on it. So it's a cool idea. Um, any other news before we get into, did our giveaway. We did a bunch of news, I guess the, uh, images of the AAW toy title and the scale rings have shown up. Yeah. Is that what you're going to say?
00:34:15
Speaker
Yeah, well that and they have the UK exclusive AEW ring with the Cody figure. Kind of like how they have over here with the Keddie Omega with the scale ring that he has different attire. They're doing that over in the UK with Cody and he has different attire than he does from the figures that he has over here.
00:34:37
Speaker
The ring, the ring is the same and the figures different or are they both different? The figures, I believe the rings are the same, the figures are different. So you're just, you're basically just getting a figure you can only get. Yeah. In that set. Okay. Yeah, exactly. Um, the other thing we didn't talk about, cause we kind of skipped over it at the outside of the square circle was the, uh, the changes in production and writing and the uniform raw smack. They kind of just broke right before.
00:35:06
Speaker
You started recording, which I had some guys complaining that I talked to in another wrestling group about them pulling Paul Heyman. And I'm like, man, some of Smackdown's been worse than what I've seen on Raw lately. So I don't know if I hate it or if I think most people are just going to be worried that both shows are going to be too similar now.
00:35:32
Speaker
because you have the same writers. Yeah, I could see that. I mean, yeah, I always thought Heyman, I just think he never gets a good shake. Like I feel like he gets in there for six months or a year and then like they they move him around. I don't know if he just rubs the man's the wrong way or what. Well, yes. Well, they say he's going to be back in more of his like on screen role. And I was like, well, does that mean Brock's coming back to TV fairly soon or is that he could be an advocate for someone else? Right.
00:36:01
Speaker
You never know, since how MVP, he's kind of doing both roles now. He's on the production side as well as on screen. The other thing I was reading, a lot of people were complaining about was the talent that's being pushed now is due to Paul Heyman. So like, raw, because he's technically the raw guy. And Bruce Pritchard was the SmackDown guy, if you want to put it that way. Now, Bruce Pritchard is both. And Paul Heyman's gone, right?
00:36:31
Speaker
So now like the Apollo crews of the world and like those guys are getting pushes. Might not get the biggest pushes now because that's not, that's, that's Paul Heyman style is the athletic guys, like the smaller athletic or the big guys that could do like pull off crazy moves that time of stuff. So I might be right. And I'm trying to get the title on Sunday after this, you know, what the head does. But I guess that also, that also pulls, uh,
00:37:00
Speaker
Pritchard from being available a little bit more for podcast time. So like, it's just going to hurt stuff like that more. So I could see Conrad kinda being like, well, there, there goes a little bit more of our scheduling and stuff like that. They probably did that on purpose too. Cause I, they have a weird hatred towards Conrad for some reason. So just like, you know what, let's make his life miserable. We'll just take Bruce Pritchard completely away.
00:37:28
Speaker
But yeah, I can say I can see that happening though. That's uh It's kind of safe. Oh If it gets too similar, you'll know don't know who's behind it now. There's only one person to blame
00:37:40
Speaker
Technically for stuff so to make changes like that right now when? You know we're going through a panda. There's a ton of things going on it could be contributing to The ratings and all that kind of stuff yeah, so Yeah, but I feel they're always tinkering with shit, so we'll see
00:37:58
Speaker
Let's move into some of our other segments here after Go Figure. Let's get into our quarantine and chill, sponsored by Omage. Mike talked about them earlier. I got some shirts from them on last week's show. You can use code CHICK for 20% off of your order. I believe they have 20% off everything right now, Mike. I'm sure you know about this. And you can use our code on top of that. I don't know if the guys at Omage know that.
00:38:29
Speaker
That's a them problem not us problem, you know, we have the code there so we spent some money there for sure and Let's let Marco go first on this anything you've been watching that we should check out Mike Marco Nothing too crazy. Just uh, I think it posted it here is the uh, the Nexus they have this
00:38:50
Speaker
this thing on the network called the best of Nexus. We get to see like the beginning stages. It's not really like a documentary. It's really like all their segments that they had. It's about a couple hours long. They do the narrations at the beginning and in between and all that stuff. I think it's pretty cool. Supposedly they're supposed to be doing a documentary on Nexus and the beginning stages of it and the guys that were in all that stuff. And apparently Darren Young was on a, he's doing an interview
00:39:19
Speaker
And apparently, they're supposed to make a run-in. They're supposed to appear at WrestleMania 36. Oh, wow. What? He didn't say what capacity. Yeah. He didn't say what capacity they were going to be appearing in. I thought it would be pretty cool if they showed up at the Firefly Funhouse segment, because that was a part of John Cena had that huge feud with them. But here's the psych. They attacked him a bunch of times, and then he took them all one by one. So I'm assuming maybe they're going to be a part of that part of it.
00:39:48
Speaker
Who knows, it's supposed to be some type of reunion that they were going to do for Nexus. And then you have the preview of the Undertaker's last ride, Power Four, coming out this Sunday. Usually they say after the pay-per-view, but it'll usually keep launching that the day of. From what I see, Matthew McConaughey's in it, which is pretty crazy. Really?
00:40:13
Speaker
Yeah. He's a, there's a screen club of it's like Matthew McConaughey undertaker and a couple of other people. Like it looks like they're at a Longhorns game or something. Yeah. I say they're Texas boys. Like what the heck? I was like, Matthew McConaughey is hanging out with freaking undertaker. What the hell? I mean, I'm looking forward to that. Like it was kind of weird that they did that little hiatus in between the two. Um, the only other thing I watched was the, the Ric Flair 24, the farewell, uh, that they did.
00:40:43
Speaker
That was really good. It was pretty a lot of stuff he already seen from other interviews and stuff like that. But it's pretty cool just to see like the behind the scenes stuff of that weekend, like the Hall of Fame weekend and all that stuff and him crying a bunch of times because the camaraderie you get to see at Dusty Rhodes. Yeah, Dusty Rhodes makes an appearance. Today's is the anniversary. Actually, yesterday would have been his anniversary because we're recording it after the fact, his death anniversary.
00:41:11
Speaker
Yeah, that was pretty cool seeing that and he gets he gets a few words in there. So they had. So that's all I did. Watching a lot of wrestling, which is kind of disturbing. Nothing different than normal. Yeah. Always watching lots of. There's so much like there is every time I turn on every night of the week. Well, that's it. Every time I turn on the network, I was like, shit, I haven't seen this. I could watch this or I can watch something on Netflix or Prime or something I haven't seen at all or don't know anything about. So.
00:41:42
Speaker
Anything you've been watching, Mike? Non-network related? Yeah, I mean, I haven't really started any new like series or anything. I haven't really seen much pop up on Netflix personally that I need to get into. I watched a couple of movies this week that were like went straight to like home video because of COVID and not being in theaters. So I finally watched Onward, which everybody's been talking about for a while. Finally got to that. Really good. No, I don't cry. You cry?
00:42:12
Speaker
I, the first like 15 minutes of that movie though, I was like, damn, they're really going for it here. Uh, I watched, uh, the way back it's, uh, it's got Ben Affleck in it. He's like, uh, like a washed up basketball coach, right? Trying to kind of come back to his, his alma mater and coach the, the team. And then I watched, uh, the hunt, it has the blonde girl, like main star of glow.
00:42:40
Speaker
Um, it's kind of like a hunger games type thing where they're all out, like they basically get kidnapped and dropped, dropped off in the woods. And then it's like survival of the fittest. It's very weird, but I kind of really, uh, really enjoyed that one. So yeah, there's, there's quite a few movies like that, that you can rent for a decent price or even purchase since they're, they're not running them in theaters or as theaters start to reopen. I know my local theaters only show on like two or three newer movies and everything else is like,
00:43:09
Speaker
They're showing like classic stuff like Jaws and Ferris Bueller and Back to the Future and like stuff that would be cool to go see in the theater, but it's like right now while I go to the theater, put in risk if I just watch this stuff from home. So I think they're just trying to fill seats with stuff that's not costing them an arm and a leg to show. So yeah, but other than that, a lot of wrestling, I've got to catch up on the whole last ride I was trying to hold out.
00:43:37
Speaker
And I had somebody the other day that was watching it and they were like, man, this is really cool, but it's a lot like the Michael Jordan Last Dance. And I'm like, yeah, but the Michael Jordan Last Dance wasn't supposed to start for like another two or three weeks. It was supposed to be a summer thing. And like, they basically begged ESPN to push it up because there was nothing to watch on TV sports-wise. And it obviously helped a lot of people get through weeks at a time.
00:44:05
Speaker
this Undertaker thing would have happened all in its entirety before the last dance started. And it kind of a cool thing to be like, it's really similar to this, now watch this. Instead they kind of played almost at the same time or kind of beat the Undertaker out. But yeah, they're both really interesting. I have something to admit to you guys. Oh boy. I love Jim Cornette's podcast. Have you ever listened to it?
00:44:38
Speaker
I have not yet. I actually want to listen to it because I hear a lot of people rave about it. It's so goddamn funny, dude. Say what you will about him. He's had some checkered past with stuff he said on the air, but he hates Trump. He spends half the episode just talking shit about Trump and all the stuff they've done there. He's a very heavy Democrat.
00:45:03
Speaker
I mean, he still, I mean, he hates AEW more than he hates Trump, I would say. Oh, that's why you like listen to him. No, no, no, no, no. But the way he talks, I mean, just like the way he talks about stuff is the way he would talk about stuff on like, you know, a promo in WWF back in the day.
00:45:19
Speaker
So quick-witted, he's funny as hell, takes questions from people. I just love people like him that have strong opinions. It reminds me of a wrestling version of Colin Coward, who people love or hate. But it just makes me laugh while I'm in the car. It's a really entertaining show.
00:45:38
Speaker
like a call it like a question and answer episode and he talks about like you know recast pay per views and stuff like that but I mean he he shit all over the that football that football match like worse worse than I yeah worse than I did you know like you know he was a
00:45:56
Speaker
not a fan of that. He's not a fan of Omega or the Bucks or any of those guys, but even if you like AEW, I would still give it a listen because, you know, just a cool, I mean, he obviously knows his stuff. He's been around wrestling his entire life, so he can't deny that.
00:46:11
Speaker
And if you don't recommend this show, but between the riots and COVID-19, if you're not depressed enough, there's a Jeffrey Epstein documentary on Netflix that will make you so depressed that dirty, shitty people exist like this in the world, that you're just going to want to stay in your house for the rest of your life.
00:46:35
Speaker
Oh, awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, that's a, that's a bummer, huh? And I have been looking for a new show to watch with the wife guy, which can't seem to find anything to watch. A couple of you have recommended Friday night lights, which I've never seen a single episode of and, uh, shows again.
00:46:51
Speaker
Yeah, I've heard good things. Friday nights is amazing. Yeah, I've heard it's more than like just about football, which is good. Oh yeah. Yeah. Football is probably 20% of the show. Really? Okay. Cool. So I'm going to show, I don't know if that's on Amazon or Hulu or something, but I'm sure I can find it. So, uh, we've, we've turned to be on Netflix, but I don't know if it's still on there or not. Maybe it is. I don't know. And it's probably moved to like HBO max or whenever the peacock thing starts because it was a NBC show. So.
00:47:20
Speaker
What tell me about PlayStation 5, Mike, when does it come out? What did you watch the video today? And what are you looking forward to about it? Yeah, I mean, like so they, of course, with all the riots and everything going on, they were supposed to have this press conference last week where they were going to kind of show some games and stuff because they've been really like tight lipped about the PS5.
00:47:46
Speaker
Um, as much as like Xbox has kind of showed the system, talked about some of the games, uh, PlayStation really hasn't done anything except for here's like the controller. Um, and some of the like system schematics and stuff like that. But yeah, they did about an hour today. They showed a lot of trailers, a lot of new stuff that people didn't know about or, or first glimpses of games. And then like the last like five, 10 minutes showed off what the system looked like. Um, it's definitely different. It doesn't look like any of the other systems they've done before. Um,
00:48:16
Speaker
Some people like it, some people don't, but in the end, you don't care about what the system looks like. It's about what the thing can do. So, uh, supposed to be out and everything says no delays, uh, with COVID or anything like that for production. So supposed to be out by the holiday this year. Um, still no price, uh, no date or anything like that. No pre-orders. I think they're basically waiting for those two things. Plus Sony has to be able to say,
00:48:46
Speaker
Here's how many is going to be available. Here's how many each retailer is going to have so that you don't oversell or take pre-orders too early and then people think it's going to be one price and it's the other. So at this point, everybody's just kind of holding out for what's more than likely going to be about a $500 price tag if I had to guess. But yeah, I mean, they showed some stuff. They talked about like Grand Theft Auto, the one that's already out now is being re-released on the PS5.
00:49:16
Speaker
Um, instead of talking about the next one, cause that's probably a couple of years away, uh, new resident evil, new spider man. So I mean, some, some exciting games were shown and then, then some stuff like that people hadn't heard of before and some other classic games. So it's going to be a big Christmas because you've got a new Xbox and new PlayStation. And, and then the switch is still doing really well. Just all these systems are.
00:49:40
Speaker
impossible to get it at the moment because all the shutdown and lack of production for about a two-month period so people trying to find stuff right now while they're stuck at home or just one in general is almost impossible to get. Good stuff man.
00:49:55
Speaker
Yeah, we'll keep attractive that and our buddies at the run run in podcast. Uh, our friends of ours, Tommy paradise and DJ are doing a weekly podcast drops the same day as ours. They talk about wrestling and wrestling figures, but they also talk about all kinds of other action figures, Marvel legends,
00:50:14
Speaker
Pop culture, video games and stuff. So if you like our podcasts, I'm assuming you would like theirs to give them a listen. Also our buddies at the Wrestle Gettin podcast, they are good friends of ours as well. Obviously the major wrestling figure podcast is another one that we really support. Those guys do some great work over there. Our Vantage Point podcast is one that we like. Our buddy Marco, I know Marco turned me onto that show and I've been listening to it.
00:50:42
Speaker
Every single week and our buddies wrestling with reality podcast is another one So after you listen to our show give those shows a quick listen Some talk wrestling figures some our vantage point does not but it's all entertaining all wrestling related all the time So check them out. Let's get into our retro wrestling recommendation of the week brought to us in part by
00:51:05
Speaker
ProWrestlingTease.com Marco. I haven't watched this match in a long time This is picked by one of our Foley family members and this is a bloody one, isn't it? Yeah, actually, well we'll go we'll get back to the our random merch after this one, but um But we'll skip this. We'll skip that for now. But yeah, but back last 2009 Edge versus John Cena last man standing match. It's picked by Jeremy Ball No, yeah, I actually ended up watching this whole card
00:51:34
Speaker
because it was stacked. I didn't throw it on here, but if you just wiki it real quick and just see the card, it's a pretty insane card. The beginning of it is Christian and Jack Swagger for the ECW Championship, and that's a really good match as well. I figured we'd throw an edge match in there because a lot of younger people haven't seen edge wrestle. I'm going to assume that.
00:52:04
Speaker
they probably missed it the last 10 years or so so just to see edge of his prime going against one of his rivals John Cena is a good one there it's about it almost like a 30-minute match too it's a pretty long match I think it takes up the rest of the pay-per-view which is pretty awesome so yeah it's definitely go back and watch that for the random merch this is pretty cool so it's a it's a poster it's an undertaker streak poster
00:52:36
Speaker
And it's signed it has like little logos for all the people he faced and it's signed by The people that he's defeated Really? So if you look at it, yeah, so if you go like not every single person is on there It's only Five thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars by the way for this poster Yeah, so he got Jake the snake Roberts. So everyone it has all like I think it has up to a
00:53:02
Speaker
The. Is it everybody that's alive still, basically, or is there. A few missing, I guess. Orton, Triple H, H, BK, Flair, Jake. Oh, my God. Psycho. Triple H, H, BK. Yeah. Cane twice on there. Six. Diesel. Diesel autograph. Wow. I think he's he's 21 to know.
00:53:32
Speaker
So this is, this is before the streak ended. Wow. Just posted here. $6,000. That's like six, one, two, three kid has bros. I'd probably go with, I'd probably go with this cause this is pretty sweet. That's like just this idea of like, this is cool. All the little tombstones of all the people he's defeated and the picture. Of course. Yeah. So.
00:53:57
Speaker
That's probably worth the $6,000 alone right there. He's got a cool signature, Undertaker does. And it's a number, too. So there's only 500 of these being the actual poster. But I'm not sure if, like, I think someone actually went and got those signed. Right. Because they would have all been signed. But I noticed Triple H signed it once. But he's on there twice. And Kane signed it twice. And he's on there twice. It was kind of weird.
00:54:23
Speaker
It's a pretty cool item. I always have this argument with one of my friends about the Undertaker streak, because he was different Undertakers at certain times. So is the American Badass Undertaker continued in that streak, or does that start over as American Badass 1 and 0? Or Ministry Undertaker as he 1 and 0? He's getting so pissed off at me. It's argued semantics, but...
00:54:53
Speaker
I thought it was pretty funny, because he always changes his style up a little bit. And I was like, yeah, but if he's this Undertaker, is it really still the streak going? He's not the original Undertaker, and he just gets super pissed off at me. So I started doing that, because I think he always wanted to fight me one time, because I kept on saying it. But yeah, it's pretty much it for the random merch, and the retro recommendation. Definitely go out your way and watch that.
00:55:19
Speaker
That match is really awesome, the Backlash 2009. Yeah, if you got six grand, you know. Yeah. Did we do a match? Jeremy Ball recommended the match. Yeah. Jeremy Ball, yeah. He had like six of them on there, actually. He had like a bunch of recommendations, but I figured I'd pick the Edge one because it's Backlash. The match is coming up, but yeah. Thanks, Jeremy, for that.
00:55:41
Speaker
