Introduction and Host Intros
00:00:20
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Chick Foley show, the official podcast of Thanksgiving. As we are a week away from one of the best holidays of the year. This is the hot take kid Phil Gentile, AKA the Dan Marley of wrestling figure collecting here in the Jimmy's famous seafood studios. And, uh, I got Sheena Phelps, the very pregnant Sheena Phelps.
00:00:46
Speaker
Yeah, you got that right. That, that is definitely the description for me right now. The very pregnant Sheena Phelps.
Pregnancy and Weather Chat
00:00:52
Speaker
Um, I'm sitting here in sharpshooter studio and I was, I was talking to Phil before we started recording. He was like, how are you, how are you doing? And I'm like, you know, I try to keep things in perspective. I try to keep things, you know, positive most of the time, but like at this point, 35 weeks pregnant, like you just start to feel chronically uncomfortable. So for all you dudes out there who never have to be pregnant, like thank your lucky stars.
00:01:14
Speaker
Yeah, to the point now where you have to get like a rolling start to get out of bed like. Yeah, yeah. And you have to be careful, too, because if you roll too fast, you get like these, you know, round ligament pains and cramps. So, yeah, it's glorious stuff that's happening over here. You know me, I like to I'm a pretty active fit person, but to like have to like like roll out of bed, like some sort of like sea mammal like, oh, my gosh, it's always humbling.
00:01:43
Speaker
Speaking of, I'm not going to say speaking of sea mammals, that's mean. Speaking of lovers of white Christmas lights, Marco Denton, the MVP, what's going on, dude? Nothing much. I don't mind being a company with a sea mammal. Sea mammals are adorable. Yeah, it's big dude season. It's big sea whale season. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, I'm just chilling over here. I am not pregnant. So that's always good news. Not happening over here. I have enough.
00:02:14
Speaker
children to last me a lifetime. So I think I'm all set in that department. But yeah, just chilling over here and enjoying this rainy cold weather, which I'm not too happy about but
00:02:28
Speaker
It's New England, that's what happens over in these parts.
Upcoming Podcast Leave and Episode Preview
00:02:31
Speaker
A couple house cleaning things here before we get into the episode. A shout out to our buddy, Zach Egloff, who has helped me prepare for Sheena's departure from the podcast, at least for a week or two, if she's going to pop out a baby. He's sending me some audio clips of Sheena Phelps from the podcast. We're currently building the Sheena Tron 5000.
00:02:54
Speaker
So basically we'll replace this will replace Sheena in almost every way we'll be at me and Marco will ask her questions and she'll respond
00:03:04
Speaker
Oh my god, I don't even know what kind of questions you could ask. There's no telling what sort of responses I have. You know, I'm very, sometimes I tend to be very unfiltered and I actually filter myself for this show. So if you can only imagine what I'm like, what I'm like, yeah, what I'm like in real life. Too bad we don't have like a video feed because you guys can just like hologram me in circa like 2000. Was that like 2005 or six when like the holograms were like the thing?
00:03:28
Speaker
That would be fun. We could do a live stream. I'm trying to talk to somebody. I'm in a group chat with a bunch of other podcasts. And I was like, hey man, how do I do a YouTube live stream? And he had four messages. And then by the fourth word, I was just like, brrr. What? OK, we're not going to do that then, because I don't understand any of those words. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot.
00:03:53
Speaker
Just to even set all this stuff up and to get together like via audio. Can you imagine having it? Well, I mean, for dudes, it's a lot easier, but for me to look even presentable on, you know, on video, like, I mean, well, you know what I mean. Like, let's be real. I'm not just going to show up like I'm showing up right now. Like I'm in a like sweatshirt and, you know, looking, looking a little haggard. I'm definitely, I'm definitely not trying to show up on YouTube looking, looking like that. I got to put some, some mascara on or something.
00:04:21
Speaker
And also, shout out to our friends at Chalk Line. I don't know if you follow us on Instagram, the three of us, but you should. You can follow Sheena at Chick Foley, at least, and you can find us from there. But our friends at Chalk Line, with the help of The Heal Husband, got us each some sick, super sick, Chalk Line Chick Foley Show jackets.
00:04:43
Speaker
Yes, they look so good. You guys took pictures over this weekend. They're like, oh my gosh, this is so awesome. We're like a team. We need to go somewhere with these. I'm thinking SummerSlam next year up in Boston. Maybe we visit Marco Denton. Oh, yeah. Definitely. I'm totally down for that. The heel husband will potentially be back for that. So that would be super awesome.
00:05:07
Speaker
import the in-laws to come watch the babies and then we could have a little vacation up in Boston. I'm there for it. There you go. Maybe the Orioles are in town. Who knows? That'd be fun. Definitely. Let's do it. So on tonight's episode, we are going to preview war games this coming week. And we're going to, let me play the Stephen Riegel sound club. War games!
00:05:32
Speaker
War War Games and also preview a Survivor Series card, which is looking very, very interesting. Yeah, we'll get into the fallout from last week's a full gear from dynamite and some some cool figure news and all of course, the return of CM Punk, who returned literally five minutes after we stopped recording last week. Yeah, that was pretty hilarious. Like we, you know, stopped recording and like literally like I stopped recording.
00:06:00
Speaker
Told you guys goodnight, jumped into bed, and then all of a sudden I like check into the Instagram machine and I'm like, WTF? Like, are you kidding me? I cannot believe this literally just happened. On freaking SmackDown, what's the show called, Backstage? Yeah, Backstage. Yeah, of SmackDown Backstage of all things, you know what I mean? Like, I just would never in a million years have thought that was gonna happen. So yeah, we'll touch on that a little bit in our Outside the Squared circle, so.

00:07:44
Speaker
NXT last couple weeks. I mean there's an episode tomorrow obviously last week was it was a banger episode as we're heading into war games here It's an interesting time for NXT because you're splitting your your roster which isn't already, you know super deep as it is between war games and Survivor Series. How do you see things shaping up Sheena? Well, I mean, I think we're gonna see a little bit of crossover I definitely think that Matt riddle is potentially gonna be
00:08:13
Speaker
Like on both shows, um, you know, he, he's fighting, um, freaking, uh, Finn at, at war games. And then I can see him being on team NXT because they have not, as far as I know, um, they have not, they have not announced the survivor series team for, for NXT. So I could definitely see him being somebody that, you know, does double duty back, back to back. But yeah, I definitely think we're going to see some, some people doing, you know, war games and survivor series for sure.
00:08:42
Speaker
How should how should we work the prediction title championship here because we got war games and we have survivor series I guess we can run down the card now we can kind of go through some of the storylines that got us here let's start with the the I guess probably the main event which is going to be
00:08:58
Speaker
a match, man, I don't think we'd ever see a women's war games match, but this is gonna be awesome. Shayna Baszler, Io Shirai, Bianca Belair, and Kaylee Ray against Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, and Tegan Knox. What do you think here? What's gonna happen? You know, I really don't know. I really don't know which team is gonna come out on top because, I mean, this is like two powerhouse, like female,
00:09:29
Speaker
teams going head-to-head and it's really hard to say. I could definitely see the other two horsewomen, Jessamine and Maria Shafir, getting in on it.
00:09:44
Speaker
I don't know, maybe like giving, giving the heels the, the over, but yeah, it's going to be tough. I mean, I'm, I'm obviously team Maria all the way. Like I want to see my girl go over. Um, all the, also Mia Yim is injured. Like she got her nose busted open in her match last week. And then apparently she suffered some rib injuries, um, on that last bump that she took. So I don't know, like they, everything I've read said that her, her situation is kind of day to day. So.
00:10:10
Speaker
We might be getting a different fourth person for the face team. Did they bump somebody to put her in originally once they announced the teams? Who was supposed to be? Was that Dakota Kai? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Maybe she'll take her place. Yeah, that ladder match was pretty brutal. Her and Io Shirai, I would definitely recommend going back and watching that. That was super fun. So what do you see playing out here?
00:10:33
Speaker
I see the faces, I see the team Rhea Ripley winning and Shayna Baszler showing up on Survivor Series with those two cronies and Ronda Rousey and Ronda Rousey. I kind of think Ronda Rousey's coming back. I mean, she's on Total Divas or whatever that show is. I got to think she's coming back soon, right? I mean, she's kind of been hinting at it.
00:10:57
Speaker
Yeah, I've been, you know, following her on social media and stuff and she's been hinting and I've read some articles saying that, you know, she's saying that she's ready to come back and stuff, but I don't know if it'll be like, you know, like, like it was before, like a rumble type appearance or, um, I feel like this is kind of soon because if she shows up now, like, I mean, it could be one of those situations where it was like the year before it was just like the storyline drug on way too long to get to WrestleMania. You know what I mean?
00:11:26
Speaker
Yeah, it's almost better like save it for Royal Rumble or something. Yeah, with three weeks of TV every week, it's gonna get old pretty quick. But there's a bunch of little tiny storylines in this Women's War Games match, which will be interesting. I announced the women's team for the NXT Women's card. Does that make any sense what I just said?
00:11:51
Speaker
No, it did not They're doing like a survivor series style team with with the women, right? They haven't announced the women's team for that or the men's team Oh, no. Yeah, I haven't seen any NXT news as far as survivor series is concerned So yeah, I don't know how many of these women will actually like I said do double duty week to week So or you know back to back. So Yeah, I'm assuming tomorrow night. We'll get a lot more clarity on who's gonna be in the survivor series. Oh
00:12:17
Speaker
Matches what a card tomorrow night for NXT. Did you see what this what this card is tomorrow night for NXT? Mm-hmm. Oh my god It's so so there's a triple threat match that we talked about Pete Dunne Killian Dane and Damian Priest the winner Yes, I did see that. Yeah, Adam Cole
00:12:32
Speaker
Adam Cole at Survivor Series. And it's Adam Cole versus Dominik Dijakovic in a ladder match. And then I think we confirmed it, right? Marco, the revival is coming back and facing undisputed era? Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. What a banger match that is. That's a pay-per-view style match on a freaking NXT. That's a great card. Yep. Awesome. So with your prediction, you said you're going with Team Rhea or Team Shaina? Team Rhea.
00:13:01
Speaker
Yeah, same. I'm going with Team Maria. All right, men's war games match undisputed era versus Tommaso Champa, Keith Lee, Dominic Dijakovic and Mr. TBD. I'm a fan of Mr. TBD. Who do you think it's going to be?
00:13:19
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. I mean, who else it's, it's, it's, like I said, it's just tough with like them pulling double duty on these shows to know who's going to be in it. We already got riddles somewhere. Uh, do they pull someone off the main roster to make an appearance like a, like a Kevin Owens or somebody? I don't know. I was going to say Kevin Owens cause they kind of hinted, but then with all that, with all the schmazzy stuff that happened at the end, it kind of, I think it kind of like shut down the, the immediate Kevin Owens to NXT storyline. You know what I mean?
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm going to pull up the roster. I can't think of anybody off the top of my head that isn't already in a, in a, a main storyline here on this. I mean, you have Roderick Strong already, you know, on, on, on disputed era. So he, you know, all the, all the championships are already spoken for. For sure. Um, regardless, I don't care who Mr. TBD is. I think I'm still going for team Tommaso. Oh, really? I was going to go on disputed era. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:16
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going. I'm going team Tommaso. Very nice. What about you, Marco? What do you see with these two war games matches? I think I just actually message you guys. I think Velveteen might be the good call. It might be the guy to take on that. And I think he might be the survivor series, part of the survivor series team if he's not a part of the
00:14:38
Speaker
War games because I think survivors series is a fitting like I think it was a fitting thing for Mm-hmm for the velvety dream to make a dramatic appearance and you know do his thing, but uh, I think uh, I Disputed error is what they want the last two. I believe yep. I don't think they went in a third. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
00:15:00
Speaker
that's what they want you to think man. I know. You guys are such marks. Can you can you imagine though like they got that they already got the undisputed um the undisputed gold merch what if they had like a three-peat war games merch you know no that would be sick uh yeah a match that's uh kind of come together here with the injury to Johnny Gorgano Matt Riddle versus Finn Balor
00:15:24
Speaker
Whoo, man, this is going to be fun, too. Yeah. I don't know what to think here. Finn Balor's first match back in NXT. I can't think he loses this match. No, I got to go. I got to go with Finn. I mean, you know, I love I love the bro. But I think I think Finn is going over in this one just simply because like you said, it's like his debut match back at NXT. He's he's there to make a point. He had that fire promo a couple of weeks ago.
00:15:51
Speaker
I think it's gonna be a hell a hell of a show for sure like I think these guys are gonna like murder each other but I'm definitely putting Finn over on this one Yeah, if you're gonna have Riddle lose to somebody he doesn't lose too often But have him lose to somebody Finn Ballard is a good name and I could I could see you know the only way I could see Finn losing is if we have like a hobbled Johnny Gargano coming down and hitting him with like a Crutch or something, you know, yeah sort of schmazzy finish, but I'm still going I'm still going Finn
00:16:21
Speaker
Nice. Oh, you know what? Really quickly. I just looked up because I, for some reason I was thinking like that they got beat last year. Pete done ricochet when war Raiders defeated the undisputed era at war games. Oh, so I love my pick even more now. Yeah. So they, they won the first year. Let me, um, make sure I'm correct on that.
00:16:47
Speaker
Yeah, the undisputed era won the first year. They lost to who I just said the second year. And then this year we're going to, you know, we'll see who, who comes, who comes out on top. But I think it's going to be team Tommaso. Is it just those three matches, Marco? I think that's all, that's all that we've gotten. Um, we got, um, Adam Cole and, uh, Dominic Gajakovic. We got the war games matches and then we got, um, freaking.
00:17:14
Speaker
No, Adam Cole is in the men's war game match, so. Oh yeah. You're thinking of just NXT tomorrow night. You got mommy brain, man. Yeah, the triple threat matches on the triple threat with Pete Dunne, Damian Priest and Kelly and Dana Z war games. Oh no, no, no. That's on war games? Yeah. I thought that was on...
00:17:33
Speaker
I'm so confused now that we have like a weekly show here. Maybe I have mom brain too. I don't know No, no the triple threat match you guys we got to get this shit is on Wednesday night is on tomorrow night
00:17:49
Speaker
Yes, it is happening tomorrow night and it is the winner of that Is contending against Adam Cole at survivor series for the NXT championship So they're putting Adam Cole and one of those guys
00:18:04
Speaker
one of those three guys on Survivor Series, like on the main roster pay per view. I love that. I love that so much. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I mean with the, with the war games matches, it makes sense. Those are typically 60 minute matches. And then the fin match, I'm sure is going to go 30 some minutes or something, you know, 20, 30 minutes. So it makes sense to me. They add one more match, maybe another women's match or something or.
00:18:26
Speaker
Yeah, I could see them adding another women's match. Honestly, it's just, it's so confusing just because we have so much crossover with these, with team NXT being part of survivor series, you know, in such a, in such a huge capacity. Like I said, we have the Adam Cole match. You have a team NXT for the women, team NXT for the men. Um, you've had, we've had NXT invasions like the last three weeks. So it's been like, like, I feel like the roster's all over the damn place. So when didn't we just do a draft where it was,
00:18:53
Speaker
Everybody's shows like everybody's supposed to be separate and compartmentalized and really like it has not been compartmentalized at all since the draft Yeah, well, they've been invading. It's been invaded a lot of different invasions. Yeah. Yeah, so I Think it'll be a good card. You want to jump right into Survivor Series? Yeah, let's go. Let's let's let's go.
00:19:12
Speaker
OK, let's do it.
Survivor Series Predictions
00:19:14
Speaker
I talked about it last week. I haven't been this excited for a card in a long time. I'll run down the matches here. The NXT Cruiserweight Championship, Leo Rush versus Angel Garza. I'm sure that'll be a pre-show match, but that should be pretty good. Is that a confirmed match? It's on my script here from the intern.
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh
00:19:36
Speaker
Oh, nice. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, I think Leo rush retains in that match. It'll, it'll be okay. I don't, I mean, I don't really care. That's not, that's not a match. I'm like super invested in, but I think, uh, I think Leo will go over.
00:19:49
Speaker
I'm with you there. The women's Survivor Series match. So this is kind of tough because we don't know some of these other teams for the NXT teams. But Team Raw is Charlotte, the Kabuki Warriors, Sarah Logan, somehow she got her way on there. And Natalya versus Team SmackDown, which is Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans, and Nikki Cross. And then also versus Team NXT, which has not been announced yet.
00:20:14
Speaker
Kind of crazy they haven't announced a, uh, you know, this is, you know, we're, by the time it's announced, it's what four days before the pay-per-view kind of crazy. Yeah. Uh, honestly though, I don't see, um, I don't see them letting team NXT go over in either one of these matches, just simply because like, I mean,
00:20:35
Speaker
I just don't see it happening. I feel like it's either going to be raw or smack down. Um, and last year, wasn't it like a raw clean sweep last year at survivor series? Like smack down, smack down did not win a single fricking match last year. So I could totally see team smack down, um, for the women, uh, Sasha Carmela, Dana, Lacey and Nikki going over, even though I feel like team raw is a little bit stronger, but maybe they're going to give since smack down is.
00:21:03
Speaker
you know, it's supposed to be like the new hot show. Maybe they'll give Smackdown a little bit of the rub and put those women over. Yeah, I was going to say Team Smackdown too. That team just looks a lot more stacked and Sasha Banks obviously is the name they want to push here. I'm sure it'll come down to Charlotte and Sasha and somebody from Team NXT, but it's going to be a good match. I like that. I mean, I want to see some more Charlotte. She's been kind of a
00:21:30
Speaker
Well not buried a little bit, but she's been off of the out of the spotlight here I'm sure as we get closer to WrestleMania season shows so step back into the title picture a little bit here But let's move on to the men's Survivor Series match Team Raw is Seth Rollins Kevin Owens Randy Orton Drew McIntyre and Ricochet man. That is a freaking team of horses there and
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah Team Smackdown Roman Reigns King Corbin Mustafa Ali who got his name back. Yeah shorty G who did not get his name back and Ron Stroman against team NXT. What say you Sheena? Oh man, um, I Gotta go with team raw for the men. I think I think
00:22:14
Speaker
Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens leading the charge. And then they got Randy Orton, McIntyre, Ricochet. I think it's gotta be, I think it's gotta be Team Raw.
00:22:23
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to be different. I'm going to say Team SmackDown here because I feel like Reigns is going to be pushed. Reigns or Corbin will be kind of pushed to a main spot here as the kind of the sole survivor, even though I think Team Raw's roster is much better. I think they want to really harp on the SmackDown thing now. So that makes sense. Yeah, sure. What about you, Marco? What do you think of these two matches? Kind of tough.
00:22:53
Speaker
Just by the the names that would go team raw. Maybe because they experience it's on that on that team. There's a lot of not rookies on the team on team Smackdown, but there's a. Not enough, not enough experience in my eyes like you have the Seth Rollins and Randy Oran. Drew McIntyre has been around for awhile, so they have that like they've been around the block. I do have a weird prediction that I think we're going to see a.
00:23:22
Speaker
I remember my last retro pick was Survivor Series 2014, and there was a turncoat on the team. I'm thinking Kevin Owens might turn on Team Raw. Interesting. I don't want to sway anyone's things, but I think I was right about MJF. I'm going to go with Kevin Owens.
00:23:47
Speaker
I could see that because they had, they had that moment, um, with him and Triple H this week where, you know, it was, it was very unclear what was going on and you know, he was trying to sway him to go to NXT. So I could see him turning and then like helping, helping NXT, even if NXT doesn't go over, but just kind of like establishing that, like he's made that decision to go to NXT, you know?
00:24:08
Speaker
I don't know, it's a weird premonition, but I'm doing a little team raw though, that's my pick. Anyway. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I can see it. It's, it is tough, but, um, well, they're not really doing much with Kevin Owens right now on, on raw. So I could see him being, man, NXT would just be full of talent now, man. I think you gotta, you gotta go to three hours now with all these guys. No, I cannot watch another hour of wrestling. I can't, I can't make it happen.
00:24:34
Speaker
Men's Tag Team Championship match. There's no titles in a lot in any of these matches, I think. It's just for bragging rights. It's just Clash of the Champions down under. Down under Sivir Saris at the beach. Viking Raiders versus the New Day versus the Undisputed Era. The New Day won the Tag Team titles last week or two weeks ago on SmackDown against the Revival, so they booted them out of this match.
00:25:06
Speaker
I'm I'm gonna say Viking Raiders here I'm gonna say they want to put them over as kind of the new the new hotness and maybe you bring out AOP to kind of like Wreck shit after they win or something and set up a few between those two But I think New Day is you know, they don't need to win this match and I'm just be there I was gonna Be licking their wounds from war games. So I'm gonna go Viking Raiders. I
00:25:28
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to go with New Day. I feel like they're going to go with the obvious choice here and just keep keep the titles on on our head. Not that it's for the titles, but I think they're just going to. I think I think they're going to give it to New Day. Let them have their moment. OK, I like that. I maybe have Xavier Woods make a little comeback or something. I know he's still still on the shelf, but yeah. Midcard championship. This is this might be the match. Yeah.
00:25:57
Speaker
That's exactly what I was about to say. This is like the dark horse. Like, I feel like it's like one that we're kind of not overlooking per se, but it's just like, I think we're all going to be like, holy shit at the end of this match. I love all the memes of, uh, people making fun of like Michael Cole, if Nakamura wins, he's going to say the king of strong styles, beating strong and styles. That's a Michael Cole joke. If I ever heard one.
00:26:22
Speaker
That definitely is. AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura versus Roderick Strong. And this is, I think, going to be a coming out party for Roderick Strong for people that haven't seen him before. Man, he just has such an awesome style of wrestling, similar to the other two guys. But I'm sure these guys have clashed at some point before in the Indies or over in Japan. But this is going to be an awesome, awesome match. What say you, Sheena? I am going to go with...
00:26:54
Speaker
Damn. It's tough. All these matches are tough. I mean, there's no, yeah, there's no real right. Like there's no, uh, reason one person, they're not titles in the lines. There's not like, you know, there's reason. Yeah, I think that's what makes it a little bit tougher because sometimes you can kind of feel where they're going. Like with the, with the change of, you know, the titles and stuff like that. Um, but since there's no titles on the line and it's literally just champion versus champion for like clout,
00:27:19
Speaker
It's really, it makes it a little bit more tough, but I think I am going to go with AJ Styles. I'm gonna go with Shinsuke Nakamura. Yeah, I considered it, but I was just like, you know what, I can't see it, I can't see it, but yeah, AJ. AJ's my pick, final answer.
00:27:41
Speaker
All right, Women's Championship match, Becky Lynch versus Bayley versus Shayna Baszler. Another tough one here. Oh God. They've had Shayna Baszler showing up on it almost every episode of SmackDown, I feel like, since this pay-per-view was announced.
00:27:58
Speaker
I got a weird feeling that Shayna Baszler is going to win here and just kind of solidify her as, you know, it's the women's division. People already know Bailey and Becky Lynch. They want to solidify her as kind of the next big thing. And, you know, she's been the champion there for over a year now.
00:28:14
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. I could, I could see Shana winning this simply because, um, if team Rhea goes over the night before, um, this would still give Shana that like bragging rights. You know what I mean? To kind of like, and I think it could really set up her and her and Rhea in a proper way, you know?
00:28:32
Speaker
Yeah, I gotta think Ronda Rousey's gonna make an appearance here. It just makes too much sense. I mean, it would be super early, but if they have been hinting at it, it could happen. What do you think, Marco? Who's gonna win here? I think Bailey has any chance. I mean, if I'm the wrestling guy and I go, oh, since they're skipping Bailey so much, she may be the one to win it, because they're not really paying attention to her. She might be like that dark horse of the three.
00:29:03
Speaker
But for some reason, I think they might go in. I think Becky might win. She may pin Bailey. I don't think she's going to pin Shana just to save face because, you know, there's, you know, up and coming. But I think Becky might pin Bailey since they're familiar with each other.
00:29:20
Speaker
So yeah, I'm gonna go Becky. But Becky and Shayna had that amazing face off. You know what I mean? I feel like it would, it would be doing us a disservice if they didn't, if one of them didn't go over the other, but maybe that's what they want. You know what I mean? Maybe they want us to keep that, that Ember burning. Um, but yeah, I was, I think those two are definitely the two to watch. I don't, I feel like, I mean, they may come out of left field and say Bailey, like Bailey might win this thing, but,
00:29:47
Speaker
It's definitely gonna be either Becky or Shayna. I mean, that's the only people they've really put any focus on. All right, so, so hold on, Phil, did you peck out? Who'd you peck? I picked Shayna Baszler, but also this could be the perfect start to a four horse women and then you have Charlotte and, you know, Sasha come down to make the save. You already have Becky in the ring. You know, I mean, this could be, I mean, I know we're already, that would be a perfect Survivor Series match, but I mean, hell.
00:30:16
Speaker
You can make that a Royal Rumble match or something, give you a little bit of a storyline before you get into like a one on one match for all these titles. I think would be pretty cool. So I'm sure they're gonna do that at some point. I mean, with all these girls or ladies, I should say. In the prime of their career now, you don't know what's gonna happen with injuries. And if Ronda wants to start a family eventually, I think you need to do that sooner than later, it's not gonna happen. So we'll see. What are we gonna say, Marco?
00:30:45
Speaker
Oh, no, I was going to say that I cheated. Did you pick someone? Yeah, I'm going with I'm going with Shayna. OK, I got we both got Shayna on that universal universal championship match just announced last week, the Fiend defending against Daniel Bryan. And I'm picking the Fiend for this. I don't think that there's no way like they're going to let him lose against Daniel Bryan.
00:31:09
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be a good match, but I think the feet go over to that same thing with this WWE Championship match Lesnar against Mysterio. I'm sure he'll get close Yeah, well, there's there's a new stipulation on on this match. There's like no it's like yeah, it's like It's a no disqualifications. No holds barred. So my prediction is that
00:31:32
Speaker
Kane, we see Kane Velasquez come back. I can totally see him coming in and interfering with this match and potentially, you know, putting right. This is, this is for the championship, right? This is a like actual. Yeah. So yeah. So I think, um, I could see them.
00:31:50
Speaker
getting Cain involved and Ray walking out of there as the champion. I think Cain will come and tear the door off the cage. That's gonna be Cain Velasquez. What was I gonna say here?
00:32:03
Speaker
there's why they call it no holds barred when there's no holes barred and wrestling anymore just call it no disqualification didn't bubble race say that today on his show it's like come on what doesn't make any sense there's no there's no holes barred it just it just sounds it just sounds good yeah
00:32:22
Speaker
Interesting match, and I don't know if they want to give Ray Mysterio one more shot in the sun here before he rides out into retirement, but it would make sense that you could have something for Brock to do against Kane Velasquez a little bit.
00:32:36
Speaker
Yeah. Yep. I can, I could see that playing out that way. Um, so yeah, I am going to go with the underdog, even though this match doesn't really get me that excited. And I'm going to go take a risk here and go Ray Mysterio. This could be a deciding match. This could be, I know. I want that title. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to go with the safe pick and say Brock Lesnar. What do you guys, what do you guys think about the universal championship going, going blue?
00:33:05
Speaker
the blue universal championship. Um, I was underwhelmed. I, I, I'm not even gonna lie. You know, I, I, when he initially was like, I'm going to do a title change and then he came out and he had a side plates. I was like, well yeah, but everybody does that. You know what I mean? Like he showed the universal title with his, with his, uh, side plates. Um, but when he like did his little magic trick and just turned it blue, I was like, that's very unfeend like, like, why does the fiend care?
00:33:31
Speaker
about brand recognition. You know what I mean? Like it just kind of seemed like whack. Yeah. I mean, obviously it couldn't stay red if they're going to be, I mean, it does fit the character a little bit for it to stay red, but you know, if it's on, if it's on smackdown now permanently, I guess it would be blue, but they're not going to make the W championship red. Are they? No, they, they should have just done, they should have just done it with like a black strap and a white like back plate or something. You know what I mean? They should have just made it like the opposite kind of like with, uh,
00:33:59
Speaker
you know, of the WWE championship, you know, I just feel like the red and blue straps, it's like, I don't know. It's, it's not my favorite thing for sure. Yeah. If like we're going to look back on it, like, you know, 20 years from now, it's going to be like, I know. And I had, I, I literally the same day that that happened. I had just gotten in my, uh, universal title, my Jack's universal title from ringside.
00:34:25
Speaker
I was like, oh, cool. I finally get in the red title to match all my other titles and now it's blue. That's why it's a first world problem there. If you ever heard one, that's true. It does suck though. I mean, you know, I remember like ordering Ravens jerseys and the guy gets traded like two months later, like God damn it. Oh yeah. Yeah. You gotta go with those. You gotta go with those like tried and true guys. You know what I mean? Shout out to the Ravens though. Eight and two, baby. Super bowl, Super bowl bound, right?
00:34:56
Speaker
Well, yeah, whatever. Super Bowls of Miami this year if you guys want to come. I got a place we can stay. You know what else is in Miami? Not WrestleMania. That's in Tampa.
00:35:07
Speaker
No. What? Close, Bash at the Beach. Oh, what a segue by Sheena Phelps. Yeah. Hey, that's what I'm here for. AEW announcing they're going to have Bash at the Beach in January, which is not the summertime. But it is cool that they're bringing up a name that people know. It's a good brand, an old WCW pay-per-view. But it's just going to be like a normal episode of Dynamite, right? It's not going to be like a special event?
00:35:36
Speaker
It's not a special pay-per-view as far as I know. Um, it's so funny because we had been talking about like, you know, the summer pay-per-views besides summer slam for WWE or like always so like lame anyway. You know what I mean? Like they always have those like weird names, like, you know, great balls of fire and like all those weird shit. Um, and I was like, why don't they just bring back bash at the beach to lead up to, you know, um, summer slam, you know, wouldn't that be perfect? And then of course, Hey, they never did. And at UW does it, but now it does it in January. I'm like,
00:36:07
Speaker
You guys, like there's nothing like coming off of two months of holiday gluttony that makes you feel like you want to bash at the beach. You know what I mean? Like.
00:36:17
Speaker
Let's put it in an appropriate month, like June or July. I like the idea. I like the throwback to it. The logo looks cool. But number one, make it a pay-per-view. Because why just waste it? All your pay-per-view names suck anyway. They're all in or all out or double or nothing. Now you have like you purchased this trademark for a reason. Why not give it a proper event?
00:36:43
Speaker
make it a pay-per-view and put it in the summertime. Market it better. Yeah, we'll see. I'm sure it'll be a fine episode of Dynamite or however the hell they do this. But yeah, I thought it was pretty funny that they announced Bash at the Beach. And I was like, oh, this is awesome. And then I was like, oh, wait, in January? It just was not resonating in my brain. I was like, this is so weird. But yeah, I guess in Miami, it never really gets that cold. So it really doesn't matter. You can bash the beach whenever the hell you want to.
00:37:13
Speaker
Yeah, Marco brought up a good point before we started the show. There was a whole list of copyrights that AEW filed and one was for the name Dusty Rhodes. Yeah, that was big news. Somebody actually posted it in our Patreon page. I didn't get a chance to read the article, but yeah, apparently as far as I know, Cody Rhodes has acquired, or I guess AEW, or I don't know if it's Cody or AEW specifically, but they acquired the name Dusty Rhodes, which,
00:37:44
Speaker
I mean, as a WWE entity as far as I know, you know what I mean? So like, I don't know how he came about getting that or, you know, if, if WWE just agreed to let him have it, I don't know, but I can't imagine what this means for like the future of like, you know, the dusty roads, classic, um, the, like action figures, all of these things that are like, you know, marketed with dusty's moniker. Like what, what's, what's that going to mean for that? You know,
00:38:11
Speaker
I gotta think they, WWE probably allowed him to use it or gave it to him or sold it to him. Because if you notice on Dynamite last week, a couple people referred to him as Cody Rhodes, which I think someone said somewhere on, I think on Twitter that he actually got that copyright a while ago and he just didn't wanna have to use it, have to use that name cuz he's been able to build the name Cody by himself without having to use the Rhodes name.
00:38:36
Speaker
That is cool. I mean, it also shows that the WWE is now willing to work with them, I guess a little bit maybe if you think about it. But you wouldn't know that, but if you were on Twitter last night with the amount of shit talking going back and forth between the millionaire owners of the companies. Oh my gosh, freaking, are you talking about the Randy Orton situation with Tony Khan?
00:38:58
Speaker
Yeah, Tony Khan responded back to a tweet from CM Punk about something and and Tony Khan made a reference to the Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia plane situation. Yeah, he said CM Punk said something like, you know, no one is safe. He was talking about, you know, like he's on this next episode of WWE back or Smackdown backstage or whatever the hell that show is called.
CM Punk's WWE Return
00:39:22
Speaker
He was talking about like, you know, he's going to bring it all to the table, like no one is safe. And Tony Khan said, yeah, sounds like a plane full of
00:39:28
Speaker
superstars in Saudi Arabia.
00:39:47
Speaker
you know fire from the hip he works for Fox and we didn't we touched on the beginning of the show but but I think it bears repeating CM Punk is back which is insane we've never thought that would happen and he comes back on just a random show that the WWE is putting on FS1 at 11 o'clock at night on a Tuesday and
00:40:10
Speaker
Yeah. Do you think this is going to ruin his pop when he comes out to a Raw or SmackDown or a pay-per-view, or do you think it's still going to be huge? Because he literally walked out and there was no audience. It was just an empty studio and four or five people in the ring clapping for him. It was cool, but it just felt like this should have been bigger. Dude. I feel like they
00:40:36
Speaker
like forfeited what could have been one of like the greatest pops in like WWE history if they had just brought him back at like a rumble situation or even you know like um like even post mania you know what i mean like the the um the raw after mania or something like i feel like they it was just so
00:41:00
Speaker
anticlimactic, I guess is the word I want to use because it like, I just feel like we've waited so long and there's been so much speculation for years and you know, I don't even really care. Like to me, like I don't seeing CM Punk come back and you know, fighting a WWE ring. Like, I mean, it's cool. I I'm there for it. I will watch it, but it's not like something I was like hanging on to, you know, with baited breath waiting for CM Punk to return.
00:41:24
Speaker
Um, but I w I'm telling you, I would have popped if he had come back at some sort of like major, major event. And everybody's like, Oh, well he, cause he doesn't want to work with WWE. He's working with Fox. And I'm like, you guys are such freaking marks. If you think for one freaking second that he hasn't like thought about or negotiated something with WWE and WWE is not going to let him represent them.
00:41:52
Speaker
You know what I mean? Without some sort of like agreement, trash WWE or whatever. Yeah. He may not be like quote unquote employed with WWE, but he is on a WWE show. Right? Like, I mean, let's, let's be clear here. He's not on, he's not talking about real sports. He's talking about sports entertainment, specifically WWE.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting to see where they go with this, but I think it's good. I mean, obviously, it's awesome to have him back in the fold now. And I think he will end up wrestling. I don't know when it will happen, but- He's definitely gonna end up wrestling. If you've listened to anything that's come out in the last week or even before that, think about Punk right after he left WWE and all that stuff was happening. I mean, how bitter he sounded and
00:42:46
Speaker
Um, how against the company he was and all that stuff. And then now he's like, he's like a softer version of himself. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like his stance has kind of like loosened up a little bit and his stance kind of like softened up a little bit. Um, he's like, Oh, I'll talk to anybody. You know, they're like, well, would you talk to Vince McMahon or Triple H if they called you? And he's like, well, I would talk to anybody. Whereas I feel like the old CM Punk would have been like, you know, hell no. You know?
00:43:12
Speaker
Yeah, it gets to a point where you only have a certain window of being able to come back and be relevant. If him and AJ Lee want to start a family and have kids and stuff, this is your time to make some money, dude. As much as you want to be on your high horse, what else is he doing? He's in a movie or two here and there. He tried his hand at MMA and wasn't successful. And nothing against him. That's a tough, tough field to get into.
00:43:42
Speaker
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm never going to, I'm never going to doubt like, I'm never going to say anything bad about him trying to, you know, fighting it in freaking UFC. Like I, you know, I would never have the balls to freaking do that. I wouldn't even have the balls to get in the freaking WWE ring with most people, much less like a freaking UFC ring. So the fact that he even trained to do that and like had enough balls to do it, like he's got, he's got my respect for that, but I just feel like everybody likes to
00:44:08
Speaker
Talk shit and do all this. But I'm like, guys, if the bat, if the bag is big enough, people will come back. Like the, all these, I mark my words, all these people that are saying right now that they're never going back to Saudi Arabia. If freaking Vince McMahon rolls up, that brings truck to their freaking driveway. What? I mean, do you think they're going to say no?
00:44:27
Speaker
The fact that Bret Hart ever came back after all that shit, I mean, that means anyone would come back. You know what I mean? Like, that was like the ultimate, like, this dude is never coming back. And he if he ever sees this man, he's going to rip his head off. No, he's just in a ring with him, just doing a slapstick angle with him. So, yeah, for sure. Time heals all wounds, as they say.
00:44:50
Speaker
I don't want to get too much into Raw and SmackDown if there was anything that we should talk about. We still have a go-home SmackDown on Friday night, which is nice now before pay-per-views we have that show. Oh yeah, I totally overlooked the fact that we still have SmackDown coming up on Friday. Isn't that weird?
00:45:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's cool that we have that show like right before they can't really get you pumped for the pay-per-view a couple days before and kind of like rehash everything So yeah, nothing too remarkable happened on raw I would say but Yeah, so there was a really good Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre
00:45:33
Speaker
No, it wasn't Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre. It was, it was Kevin Owens and, um, I can't remember who cares. Um, I mean, who, who, I mean, who really cares? It didn't even, the match didn't even end. It was just, oh no, it was, it was Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre ended in a no contest. See who cares? Nobody cares. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't care enough to commit it to memory. So, um, the only thing I took away from that is a triple H trying to get him to
00:46:04
Speaker
Uh, join NXT, which ended up being a big, a big freaking schmaz, but, um, we got lots of figure news to get to.
Wrestling Figures and Merch
00:46:11
Speaker
So I say we get into our go figure segment. Let's do it.
00:46:22
Speaker
Oh, it's that time of night, baby. It's our go figure segment. My favorite part of the show, your favorite part of the show. It's where myself and Sheena and Marco Denton talk about our weekly purchases, whether it be wrestling figures or there'd be memorabilia, whether it be a new chair to sit on while you record your podcast.
00:46:45
Speaker
Yeah, no, I did. That was one of my biggest purchases of the week. I was about to go out and buy a new, like a, I've been sitting on a folding chair for like three months and I was like, man, I'm gonna go buy like a nice computer chair. And my eyes, I go on, I was just scrolling through Facebook and my neighbor literally right next door to me is selling like a nice like, you know, computer chair. Like, it doesn't fit in my office anymore. I'm just selling it for 20 bucks. I was like, whoop, all right, I'll take it. So save me a little bit of money there.
00:47:13
Speaker
but
00:47:17
Speaker
Of course, it goes all the way down. All the way down. Nice. I got a nice package from one Sheena Phelps here that I opened up. I got some from our good buddies at Ringside Collectibles. If you use code CHICKFULLY, you get 10% off in there. Actually, I just saw on their website today when I was doing some research for the show, they already have their Thanksgiving sale up there. I don't know if that's going to be the same as their Black Friday sale, but
00:47:45
Speaker
Check it out. I think it was just 10% as of right now for the Thanksgiving sale they have going on right now. But I'm sure they'll have some really good stuff. Turkey 10. Yeah. Hitting for Black Friday.
00:47:58
Speaker
keep your peepers peeled. Keep your peepers peeled. I got Sheena Felt sent me the Series 72 Batista and Velveteen Dream and I'm with you. I really like the bigger front to these where they have the name down the bottom and it's just a bigger plastic front to them. I'm not a fan of the cut in on the side where the box is kind of not like a perfect 90 degree angle but that's just because I'm
00:48:28
Speaker
You also sent me the WrestleMania Booker T and the Mick Foley, which are really nice. I love the packaging on those two that look pretty cool. See that someone at the post office stole the Danny Davis parts from there. Those assholes. I know, I can't believe it.
00:48:47
Speaker
What the hell is wrong with those people? And the best part of the shipment is the Storm Collectibles, all three Hulkogans here. I already committed the American-made one to my good buddy DoubleClickFigs that I went to full gear with, but the other two are staying here with me. And I think I'm going to do a giveaway for a couple of these, so stay tuned there. But thank you to our friends at Ringside Collectibles.
00:49:12
Speaker
If you want to see an unboxing, check out Sheena's Instagram. She put a video up there last week unboxing these and many more figures. So check those out. And I also bought, I think it was, was it Saturday or Sunday? The Survivor Series figures went live again on the Walmart website, which Walmart website may be the most goddamn annoying website in the history of websites. Did you forget spheres?
00:49:43
Speaker
Forget what? Sears. Sears? Sears. Oh my God. Oh God, I've blocked Sears out of my memory. Jesus Christ. Yeah, Walmart had the Dom Morocco and the Alicia Fox, and at some point they had all four of them go live, but I picked up the Alicia Fox.
00:50:01
Speaker
and the Don Morocco I had them sent to my local Walmart to to avoid shipping so hopefully they they get sent there I'm I'm looking at the shipping every couple hours to make sure they're on their way they look like they are so I don't know if those are ever gonna hit the stores guys the last year's Survivor Series figures didn't really ended up at Ollie's and and big lots and all that kind of shit so I got a feeling this Don Morocco is gonna be a hard figure to find for people
00:50:29
Speaker
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people with that on their wish list. So obviously he didn't, he didn't show up a lot of places. So yeah, I don't foresee these being like, you know, just all of a sudden just showing up on pegs because they've been out for awhile.
00:50:44
Speaker
and survivators is less than a week away so at this point they're probably like punting like oh we messed this up like screw it I can't believe like it's just amazing to me before I got into really collecting figures before we started this podcast I would have never thought that they would have this many problems but like
00:51:01
Speaker
What happens there? I would love to talk, I don't even want to talk to Bill Mckenna. I want to talk to somebody from Mattel that handles the distribution and where things get shipped to and just be like, there's got to be a warehouse full of these things. Mattel is a huge company. I'm sure they make thousands of figures. Where are they all? Why are they not out to stores being sold and making money on?
00:51:26
Speaker
Somebody, um, somebody I've w I follow on Instagram just posted that they have this like big Mattel like tent sale. Um, and you can go and like, I mean, literally they had like, I mean, hundreds of like Uso figures that were like marked down to like $8 like elite figures, um, and like all of like the rings and accessories and all kinds of stuff. I mean, it was like, it was like a big, like, like the sale tent just loaded with like WWE Mattel merch.
00:51:53
Speaker
Yeah, they have a store out in Cali. I forget where it is. But yeah, that's probably where they all are. They're just kind of waiting with cobwebs all over them. So those were my pickups of the week here. And thank you to Sheena, and thank you to Ringside Collectibles for those. And Sheena, you got some stuff from Ringside. Was that today they got there? Yesterday, yeah. We got the figure arts.
00:52:17
Speaker
figures, which are actually pretty cool. You know, it's definitely not something that, um, I was thinking of adding to my collection, but I was really excited to get to get them in hand and get to like, see them, you know, up close and personal. They're, they're not in the Mattel elite scale. They're small. They're a smaller scale figure and they kind of, it's just like a one-off series. They did like a bunch of legends. They did Triple H.
00:52:36
Speaker
Stone Cold, The Rock, Kane, Undertaker, they're by Bandai. So they're really cool. They're like, they're almost like mini ultimate figures. So like, you know, if you know the, the Mattel ultimate figures, like they come with the multiple head scans and like all the accessories and stuff. They're, they're very, very similar to those. The face scans look incredible. But they're just, they're just smaller scale than like our normal, our normal elite figures. So I'm super excited. I'll be unboxing those tomorrow during AEW and NXT. So.
00:53:05
Speaker
Make sure you tune into Instagram live because I'll be, I'll be giving you guys an up close and personal look at those. So we got all five of those and what else? Oh, we got elite 13 edge. The heel has been ordered elite 13 edge and we got, he got the true stratus.
00:53:21
Speaker
pop, which I was surprised because I thought like, I mean, to me, that's like the most generic WWE pop that they've come out with so far. But he was like, I don't know. He like the completionist in me just couldn't hand, couldn't handle like not having, you know, couldn't handle not having the true Stratus pop. So he got that. And I think those, those were our only two pickups of the week besides the figure arts. Very nice. Marco, what, uh, what did you pick up, dude? Uh, pick up a couple of things at the, uh,
00:53:50
Speaker
Baron Wasteland, known as Target. Well, my Target, anyway. They started putting out some of the basics, which I don't buy at all. So the first ever basics I bought was the, I call the Slim Jim Ultimate Warrior, because it's pretty much what he, the same kind of gear he's running in the Ultimate Warrior. I think, Phil, you picked that up with the, it's probably one of the best face scans I've ever seen on a basic. Oh, yeah, it's great.
00:54:17
Speaker
Yeah, so the Slim Jim Warrior as well as the just because it's like a history making thing was the I pick up the basics for Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks The match that they had in Abu Dhabi the first ever women's match more just because of the significance I think that like I said, I really buy basics, but I figured that
00:54:42
Speaker
The chick basics the chick basics are different though We don't collect basics as a rule, but we we do have a lot of the the female basics because Especially back in the day like before they changed the the body style I mean they had elite articulation on the the basic female figures now It's a little bit different like they don't have the the ab crunch anymore But yeah, you mean you gotta you gotta pick up the basic females definitely and um
00:55:08
Speaker
Besides that, besides actually physically picking up, mostly pre-ordering, so like Kyrie Sane, I finally did, because that was actually one of my wish list items, was a Kyrie Sane. It looks pretty amazing. I think it's probably one of the best ones out of that set. I'm not really impressed with like the whole series, 70s. Besides like a Daniel Bryan, that's the only other one.
00:55:31
Speaker
That series is a little bit lacking, but yeah, that Kyrie Sane is freaking awesome. The Alistair Black in that series is really freaking dope too. Even though I love, love, love the NXT Alistair Black, I really like the vest with the spiked shoulders and everything on the Alistair Black from that series.
00:55:47
Speaker
Um, I think we'll definitely be picking that up and I love that the Kyrie saying for sure. Oh, and I got, um, I forgot Marco have to interject. I can't, I don't think I talked about it last week because I don't think I had gotten them last week, but, um, Marco sent me the second pack of holiday.
00:56:02
Speaker
gremlins that I was looking for. So I'll be setting up my gremlins. I know my gremlins Christmas display sometime this weekend. Get it, get it popping. So I'm super, super excited. Those are by NECA and they have them at Target and Walmart and wherever you can find NECA figures, but they're like holiday two packs and they're super awesome.
00:56:35
Speaker
Somebody says somebody says get it poppin. Oh, I'm ashamed to even admit this
00:56:43
Speaker
It is a Bravo show. How did I know? How did you know it's a Vanderpump rules? There's a character called Lala and she says, let's get it popping. Yeah. Uh, pre-orders are up for a elite 74. Sorry, Marco. Do you sell more stuff? Uh, no, that's, that's pretty much it. I, uh, that was, I was all done. I was just going to say, uh, that is a Nelly song as well.
00:57:05
Speaker
That's what she's probably thinking of. Elite 74 is now up for pre-order along with Elite 73 and Elite 74 is Finn Balor with the soft goods black leather jacket and we also have a AJ Styles which a lot of people have been wanting an AJ Styles figure. Finally we get one.
00:57:28
Speaker
a Goldberg with his mouth open, which is pretty generic. We have an Andrade, which is pretty cool, has the luchador mask and the black and yellow. We have a Lince Dorado with a pinata for some reason, a pinata. I love the pinata. That's the best. Yeah, a little bit.
00:57:50
Speaker
No, the Lucha House Party carries a pinata to the ring. Oh, I know, Sheena. I know that's why he has it. I'm just saying the actual reason for him holding a pinata in any form is somewhat racist. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, they could totally have him come with a freaking pop-up taco stand, too, and it wouldn't be any less racist. But yeah, I was like, what do you mean? You've never seen the pinata on WWE TV?
00:58:17
Speaker
And last but not least, the master of the sharpshooter, Natalia. So those are all... Master of the double sharpshooter. Oh, that's right. Yeah, she gets the double shooters. Yeah, both. So that's an interesting set. I really, really, really like that Natalia just because I'm working on my women's collection. The rest of these, I don't really have any kind of strong preference one way or another. The Finn baller is only kind of cool because of that soft goods jacket. But what do you think of this set, Sheena?
00:58:46
Speaker
I think I'm definitely going to get the Andrade because that figure is made. She comes with the, the mask in hand. So it's like an accessory that he has in his hand. And then he also comes with a mask like that. He can wear it like a, you know, that covers his covers his face. So you get both, which is super cool. I'm definitely getting the Lindsay Dorado because I want all the Lucha House party. I love all those figures. Um, and the Natalia is good, but man, her, her first, like her basic figure,
00:59:12
Speaker
is like very similar and it's like one of the best, I think one of the best Natalia figures that we've gotten. So I don't know. It's going to be a hard, hard decision on whether I, whether we pick up Natty or not, but yeah, the, the fin, the AJ and the Goldberg are probably definite passes for me on in that series.
00:59:29
Speaker
Yeah, the Andrani is a thousand times better than that NXT Elite that they came out with a couple months ago, which was just super boring. I think this one is a much better upgrade to that. So, yeah, I'm surprised. I mean, I guess people were clamoring for AJ Styles figures. I mean, they're very similar. All of them are very similar. They are.
00:59:50
Speaker
I swear, the only figure that I ever see at Target, I feel like, is AJ Styles. It's that top pick with the big one on the shirt. That is on everybody. That is the new Tito Santana, because they probably get 5,000 of them. The one that I'm seeing, if any of our listeners want the Survivor Series, no, that's the Survivor Series, the network spotlights with the Jinder Mahal and the Asuka and the Diesel, those are at all of my stores now. So if anybody needs those. Yeah. I've started seeing those too.
01:00:20
Speaker
Yeah, I got to think Walmart and Target are kind of they're probably getting in a bunch of stuff for you know a week from now It's gonna be pretty crazy. I'm sure Black Friday shopping and beyond they're gonna have the pegs pretty full. Hopefully Oh, yeah I've been I've been in a few targets this week and they've had pallets and pallets of toys that they were just like putting out I mean just like so so so much merch and this is the most fool that I've ever seen I
01:00:44
Speaker
um walmart pegs and target pegs a lot of elite 70s showing up a lot of like you said the network spotlight obviously you got the top picks tons of basics um so i feel like that's that's really what i'm seeing out there um we saw elite 75 what do you think about that series i feel like that mandy oh god that mandy rose figure is um
01:01:06
Speaker
She's she's a little too sexy for action figure, don't you think? Like the like the action figure is like very seductive looking. Yeah, no, I mean, I agree with you there. I think she in person is just like, you know, it's hard to make her not look sexy, even in even in figure form. But true. Do we know the full the full set of Elite 75 or are all those ones they showed at the what's it with the UK like wrestling show? I tweeted a bunch of the pictures last week.
01:01:36
Speaker
I think all I've seen is Pete Dunne, Hurricane and Mandy, but I don't know about who else is going to round out the series 75. Yeah. Uh, yeah. The, the Mandy is definitely going to be a pickup for me, but yeah, it's almost like a, like a sexy Barbie doll. I know. I feel like, I know. And I feel like, um,
01:01:54
Speaker
You know, like I don't have any problem with the figure, obviously. I mean, like you said, I mean, if you're making a sculpture of Mandy, I mean, she's going to look amazing because she looks amazing in person. But like, I see all these guys and like on all the figure forms and like in the comment section of like, like people posting the picture and they're like, ooh, so sexy. I'm like, ew, what are you going to do with this doll? Like, actually, did you see the quads on that figure that people were pointing that out to her? Her legs are super muscular.
01:02:22
Speaker
I'm not sure if
01:02:33
Speaker
Yeah, they're big. They're like, oh yeah, look at those striations, baby. So sexy. But yeah, her face, like, yeah, she looks like a Barbie doll and Bratz doll, like mixed together with a WWE action figure. So yeah, I don't even want to know all the perverted things that all these figure marks are going to do with their Mandy Rose dolls.
01:02:57
Speaker
Yeah, it sounds like Mandy is not going to be a store exclusive. She will be a mainline superstar. That was asked by one of our followers on Twitter to Mr. Action Figure Attack. So that's good to know. So if you guys have any figures lying around or if you have any deals coming up for Black Friday, we're still doing our holiday toy drive.
01:03:21
Speaker
It is going on until probably about the 10th or 11th of December. The last days you want to be able to get stuff to us. It's Chick-Fully Toy Drive PO Box 3203, Catonsville, Maryland, 21228. The address is pinned to the top of our Twitter account.
01:03:38
Speaker
It doesn't have to be wrestling toys, any kind of unopened toy will do. They will be going to Toys for Tots at Jimmy's Famous Seafood Annual Holiday Event. Last year they filled up like four or five 18-wheelers full of toys for the kids here in Baltimore, so we're hoping to make an addition to that.
01:03:56
Speaker
Check that out there. Yeah, we we saw the the anvil was it was shown in a little more detail for that elite 74 that is gonna be the store exclusive for that series that looks really nice and we saw the basic 105 which is a page NXT our truth Lars Sullivan, which I completely forgot he just did and
01:04:18
Speaker
and a Ronda Rousey in her in-ring gear, which is the Chase too. So a pretty decent set of basic figures. Yeah, I think the figure news that I was most excited about this past week was all the Funko Pops that came out. Did you guys get a chance to look through all those and see all the new Funkos that are coming out? I mean, we had the Fiend, which I pre-order, it's an Amazon exclusive, so I went ahead and pre-ordered that.
01:04:44
Speaker
It looks freaking dope. Um, there is a new freaking Hulk Hogan Walmart exclusive pop. I feel like that one's going to be really hard to find. Um, there are two Naomi's there is, um, there's a glow. There's a chase version of Naomi that glows in the dark since we never got our glow in the dark Naomi action figure. Um, and then there's like a standard version that's just painted neon green. We got diesel.
01:05:09
Speaker
Um, what else? And then diesel's got a chase, like an NWO, uh, a chase figure as well. Jean, Jean Okerlund. We got a Ms. And then we got a doctor of the economics, John Cena, pop.
01:05:24
Speaker
I'm trying really hard not to get into the pop vinyl game. It's really getting tough now because I don't know. They're so easy to collect, it feels like. And especially being a hardcore wrestling fan and then seeing the ones like all the Michael Scott office ones. And it's just a slippery slope. So I'm going to try. Yeah, that's the thing with us is we have
01:05:51
Speaker
We just need one of each, I think, which is why he'll husband got the Trish. We're going to get one of each new character. We're not like, cause there's, I mean, there's so many different chase variants and like, you know, repaints and things like that for, for current guys. Um, we have both Brett hearts. We have both Seth Rollins is we have, um, the NWO Hogan that came with, uh, the WWE two K.
01:06:15
Speaker
So we have a couple of repeats, but we're like we're trying to really just stay like you know Just as when a new character comes out. We'll get that
01:06:22
Speaker
Marcos just sent us the picture of the Mandy Rose elite and it does look, I mean, as far as, if I was an actual figure, I would have sex with this Mandy Rose figure. Very sexy. Oh my god, I've watched too much Toy Story. I can only imagine all the other toys are going to be clamoring over Mandy Rose when she gets in the collection.
01:06:46
Speaker
I did want to add something. I had this money in my PayPal account, so I went on and ordered a Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior, which has been on my wishlist for quite a while. It was at a great price, but the seller had no feedback whatsoever, no positive. They had never sold anything on eBay. So I put the question out to people on Twitter, like, hey, would you buy from someone that has no eBay feedback?
01:07:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's not a problem. Maybe we'll cover you. I would be more worried if someone was buying something from you that didn't have anything. So I was like, OK, I bought it. And of course, the person never sent me anything, never responded to any of my messages. So PayPal's got me in sort of claim, where after a couple more days, if they don't respond, they'll really send me out.
01:07:39
Speaker
It's annoying. I mean, going forward, my advice to people would be there's so much stuff on eBay. If you if you see someone that doesn't have any kind of feedback, just just keep walking, you know. Yeah, it's not worth it. It's not worth the hassle of trying to to get, you know, like you said, I mean, PayPal will take care of you. And like most of the time, eBay and PayPal, they side with the buyer. So, you know, you're protected, but it's just like a pain in the ass to have to file a claim.
01:08:05
Speaker
wait for them to contact the seller, wait for the seller to like respond back even if they do because they have to give them a certain amount of time and then for them to release the payment back to you like, yeah, just go with tried and true people who got like good, good feedback and lots of it.
01:08:19
Speaker
Or you could join our Patreon group and get access to our Facebook, where you can buy and sell with people that are actually trustworthy and won't rake you over the coals on prices. Yeah, I actually just picked up a few figures for some of our guys this week. I got Alan, a Johnny Gargano figure, and then I got Josh Drake, an EC3. Oh, very nice. That EC3 is hard to find.
01:08:47
Speaker
Yeah, it's been showing up in a few of my stores, so I'm stoked to send it out to him. Very nice. Cool. Cool. Yeah. Next week, I'm sure we will have a... Thanksgiving is next week, but we will do a full, as best we can, a full Black Friday sales preview with all the websites that we know. I'm sure Walmart and Target will have their sales coming out. Ringside will have theirs posted.
01:09:10
Speaker
I know there's a big sale going on right now at Pro Wrestling Tees. It's actually running for, I think, a couple weeks. So if you want to pick it up. Yeah, it's like a tiered sale. I think they have different categories of merchandise around sale at different times and stuff like that. So yeah, definitely check out what they got going on because they got a lot of good stuff going on over there.
01:09:29
Speaker
For sure, yeah, any orders, this is going from the 22nd of November to December 1st. You get 20% off everything, 25% off AW stuff, 40% off any Pro Wrestling T logo merch, and then any orders over $150, you get free shipping.

01:09:58
Speaker
Pretty good little sale there going on at ProWrestlingTeas.com and you can get our Chick Foley gear there as well. Yeah. We'll have some cool insight next week into some more stuff and more sales. Let's get into a random merch of the week. I don't know where the hell you found this thing. I'm super, super excited about this.
Nostalgia and Wrestling Merchandise
01:10:20
Speaker
I kind of like nerd it out whenever I saw it because you guys know I'm totally into
01:10:25
Speaker
like health and fitness and working out and lifting weights and doing all the things. And I found on eBay, um, it looks very homemade. Um, but it is a Davey boy Smith, British bulldog workout DVD. Um, it's got a picture of, I don't think it's actually like Matilda.
01:10:47
Speaker
on the front, but it says the British Bulldog's basic bodybuilder workout. And the description on the back says, the British Bulldog's basic bodybuilder teaches you the techniques to use in the gym to sculpt, tone, and build your muscles. Pro wrestler, Davey Boy Smith and Diana Hart Smith take you through their three-day program, Step by Step, developed by Davey Boy Smith using 20 years of weight training experience.
01:11:14
Speaker
an excellent program for anyone wanting to look and feel great from beginners to experienced bodybuilders, men and women. Plus get up close and personal with the British bulldog and his wife Diana in a one-on-one interviews. And yeah, and look at the making of a wrestling legend. Um, this
01:11:35
Speaker
This, um, it's in a CD case, you know, it's like a DVD, but it's like a pictures of him lifting weights and pictures of him with his family and stuff on the back. Like I said, it looks very like he like printed it off, like at home on his computer or had like a very, it's 50 minutes long. So can you imagine you get, you get three days worth of workouts and all those interviews in a span of 50 minutes. So you're, you're really gonna, you're really gonna learn a lot from the British bulldog. Um, and I mean, we all know that, I mean,
01:12:05
Speaker
That's probably all he did to get his muscular physique, right? I was going to say, yeah, how much of it is like sticking a needle on your butt? I don't want to speak ill of the dead. He was one of my favorites back in the day, man. He was pretty awesome.
01:12:20
Speaker
Dude, the British Bulldog is amazing. This takes nothing away from the British Bulldog as a wrestling performer. But I mean, come on, dude. I mean, I guess back then, it was what it was. It was in the era of Jack LaLanne and freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger and all of those.
01:12:41
Speaker
He was trying to, he was just trying to cash in on what he had and he had his physique. And, uh, yeah, I wonder how many of these, how many copies of these he sold. Cause you can, the starting bid for this is $13. So for $13, um, it's, it's coming from Milton Vermont. So I don't know if any bulldogs family is in Milton Vermont or how they acquired this, this DVD. How would you even get something like that back in the day? Like, well, I'm going to win this. I wonder if it's got a date on it when it came out because.
01:13:10
Speaker
Like did they mail it, you know, like it wasn't like they bought it online. You know what I mean? Um, good questions. So yeah. Um, pretty, pretty cool little piece of super, super random merch.
01:13:24
Speaker
I want to give a shout out to our friends at the Our Vantage Point Retro Wrestling Podcast. You can follow them on Twitter at OVP Podcasts. They've been fired. Me and Marco have been loving it. They've been just posting, I don't know where they get some of the clips that they find, whether it's on YouTube or what, but just old clips of just random retro wrestling stuff.
01:13:46
Speaker
And they're big, you know, obviously it's Survivor Series season and obviously, you know, there was a time in the mid-90s when all the Hart brothers were always on a team and goddamn Bruce Hart was like the thorn on my side as a kid. I just hated him with a passion. I was like, who is this guy? Every Survivor Series match with Bret Hart is not even a wrestler. Like, it just pissed me off and like,
01:14:11
Speaker
they've been posting nonstop and they post some really great stuff. I mean, uh, just between all the old survivor series teams and all this kind of stuff. So definitely check out their, their Twitter account and check out their podcast too. They drop it every, I think Monday. And, uh, they're actually doing a countdown of the top, the best and worst, uh, wrestling entrance themes, like similar to what we're doing. So, uh, they're, uh, they're on the same wavelength we are.
01:14:34
Speaker
Uh, first of all, if you are a heart, you are a wrestler by, by blood and by nature. It doesn't matter what, what level of success you've reached in the business. Um, but I mean, he, he was in stampede, uh, freaking, you know, did some stuff in Japan and then, you know, so, I mean, he's, he's got a little street cred, Bruce Hart. Don't, don't be shitting on, don't be shitting on the heart fan. I know. I love the heart family, but it was just like, he was like, he was like the Tito Jackson. He was like the Latoya Jackson.
01:15:08
Speaker
I guess it's time for our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. That was that fits in well with that. This is on you. Yeah, this is on you. Yeah, I picked your next week, Sheena. I know you're going to have to do a deep dive into Thanksgiving next week, but we'll get into your survivor series pick next week. This is Survivor Series 1995. I'll be honest, the sole reason I picked this was because I was there. This was in Landover, Maryland.
01:15:33
Speaker
And, uh, this was the, oh my gosh, Landover, Maryland. Beautiful, beautiful area. Yeah. Um, Oh, okay. What's wrong? What's wrong? Nothing. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of, we have listeners in Landover. I don't want, I don't want to offend anyone, but that was like, we already offended.
01:15:52
Speaker
Buffalo and Saudi Arabia and Puerto Rico. And Pittsburgh. Just add to it. Buffalo is mushing. Buffalo can't even compare to Landover, Maryland. Landover is like the cream of the crop compared to Buffalo. But yeah, this was the first Survivor Series to not be on a weekday. This was actually a Sunday pay-per-view. And usually they would be on Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Eve or something like that.
01:16:17
Speaker
uh there wasn't much to this pay-per-view this was kind of the first inklings i don't want to say the attitude eric because this was still 95 but there was a really great uh match between bread heart and diesel they had a no disqualification match in the main event went 24 minutes bread heart won the title back i think diesel had the belt for almost a year i think it was like 350 some days
01:16:39
Speaker
And I remember afterwards, he was just kind of totally bitter and pissed off and started kind of a heel, a heel turn before he left for WCW to be, you know, obviously the NWO. So other than that, this card is full of just your classic new generation. You know, you had the Isaac Yankham and you had Dean Douglas and Harvey Whippleman. You had, somehow they were able to put together a,
01:17:06
Speaker
a women's four on four match in 1995 and gold dust and bam bam bigelow.
01:17:13
Speaker
Yeah, Asia Kong, who has been on AEW, was on this match in 1995. You mean Young Superstar? Yeah. Spring Chicken Asia Kong. It was wrestling in 1995. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And it was a pretty interesting show. So definitely, if we're going to go back and watch it, check out that main event. Obviously, Bret Hart winning the title is always fun. So yeah, I remember finally being there with my dad, you know, sponsored by Karate Fighters.
01:17:43
Speaker
Nice. Well, I'm glad that you had a good experience in Landover, Maryland. You're really afraid I'm going to alienate all of our listeners town by town, you know? Well, no. I competed in a CrossFit competition there in 2012 or 13, I can't remember. And I just remember thinking, this is like the butthole of America.
01:18:17
Speaker
It's awful it is awful it is I mean, I guess we can go into it now. Yeah, it's pretty shitty It's basically like a D like a like a ghetto DC suburb So no one really like wants to live there. They just live there because it's like half the price of living in DC. I
01:18:31
Speaker
yeah it um you know i can't listen i i i can i feel like i can say that because i kind of came from a shit town myself like i came from a little country town in the middle of like nowhere but it's like totally different like it was just like
01:18:43
Speaker
So like you know, we were out with like, you know, we're crossfit competition We were out we were like going to eat places and stuff and it was like literally some of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had in my whole life like and the people were just rude and mean and like it was just oh my gosh Yeah, I never want to go back to land over Maryland. So if you if you live there I'm so sorry Try to get out
01:19:10
Speaker
Nobody listening lives there. Nobody has podcasts there. You should have come to Baltimore. You should have come to Jimmy's Famous Seafood. You should have known the background. I had a good experience when we went to Baltimore. We dropped our car off in Baltimore to get shipped from Virginia to Hawaii. That was the one and only time I've ever been in Baltimore, and it was a fun experience. That was good.
01:19:32
Speaker
Okay. Well, that's good. No, no, no. I'm sure we have some good Baltimore listeners here because I know I'm listening, but yeah. Yeah. All right. So that's, that's another city. Make a list of all these cities that we've shit on Marco, please. Can we just, we need to make it. We need to make a chick fully world tour shirt with all, with all the locations that we've like isolated, you know, like the worst city I've ever been to.
01:19:57
Speaker
Yeah, you know like that. You know when you go like a band goes on tour They put like all their tour dates and like their cities like we need a chick-fil-e shirt with all the the shitty cities That we've we've isolated on the show house. I'll stay shitting on Buffalo every single week It's literally the most depressing place I've ever been to I never felt more sorry for people as fans of the football I think we get agree that Buffalo is a
01:20:23
Speaker
probably the worst. They party hard there. I mean, they know how to tailgate and drink. I mean, that's really all they do there is just drink their brain cells away. Well, I have no dog in this fight for Buffalo. I've never been to Buffalo, New York, so. I got a sneeze coming. I can feel it. All right, so that's our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. If we pluck the toy. Oh, man.
01:20:53
Speaker
All right.
Thanksgiving Plans and Food Preferences
01:20:54
Speaker
Thanksgiving is eight days away. What do you guys have planned family wise for Thanksgiving? Um, I'll go first. My in-laws are coming in for Thanksgiving, which is super awesome. Cause you know, we, we glived away from home for a long time. Um, and so it's, we don't get to celebrate a lot of major holidays with like family and stuff, especially living in Hawaii. It was a lot more complicated. Like you didn't just fly in for Thanksgiving or fly in for birthdays or Christmas or whatever. So, um, his,
01:21:22
Speaker
parents are coming out here. We're going to have like the whole freaking traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Super, super excited. Um, I'm personally me. I could do without like, I mean, Turkey, Turkey and ham we're having both because the heel has been once he wants ham. And since
01:21:38
Speaker
You know, this might be our, we're not going to do a huge Christmas meal. We might be ordering like pizza in, depending on when the baby gets here. Um, we're going to, we're just going to go all out and do both. And I don't really care for the, the, the Turkey and the, um, and the ham. I like, I'm a sides girl. You know what I mean? Like I want all of the side dishes, like a whole plate of side dishes.
01:22:01
Speaker
I love the sides too. I'm a turkey fan. I've never been a ham fan, but I'm in charge of making the green bean casserole this year. That's my only responsibility. My favorite part of Thanksgiving, I'm just going over to my parents' house. My wife and my son and me are going over there. I had to get over there early, put the kid down for a nap if we have to, watch a little football, and just get drunk by myself. My parents have one of those fridges out in the garage so I can sneak out there and grab beers.
01:22:28
Speaker
and pour some Pinot Noir for dinner. My parents aren't the best, my mom's not the best cook in the world, but it's Thanksgiving. Like you said, you can't mess up mashed potatoes and mac and cheese and stuff like that, so it'll be a good time.
01:22:44
Speaker
Yeah. Thankfully my mom, you know, she was always like an amazing cook, you know what I mean? So she always made like amazing Thanksgiving dinner. Um, and then we would go to my grandmas on my, my stepdad side and you know, she's, I love my granny die. Like let it be known that I love my granny die. The woman can not cook. Like I know didn't Marco, didn't you say that, um, you grew up in a family that didn't have the best, the best cooks either? I think I recall.
01:23:11
Speaker
No, it was a no it was basically we had it was just a weird array because my The Italian my father father be black made like a weird like mix of food It was like so food slash Italian food Amazing it was good. It was just like non-traditional Thanksgiving it's like
01:23:34
Speaker
was the idea that Thanksgiving was kind of like, uh, I think, I think traditional is, is what you, what you are used to. You know what I mean? I feel like there's really no traditional food. You know what I mean? It really depends, especially like, you know, I mean, people, people eat all kinds of things on Thanksgiving, you know, depending on, like you said, your region, your nationality, um, all of those things, your religion. Um, I think it's just,
01:23:59
Speaker
I don't think traditional is like overrated. People are like, oh, you have to eat turkey. I mean, dressing, listen, I love, I love me some dressing and stuff, but if there's somebody threw out a panel lasagna at Thanksgiving dinner, you don't think I would go ham? I would. Yeah. I, uh, I do love Thanksgiving and I love the leftover sandwiches after, you know, I could put a little cranberry sauce, mayonnaise on there, a little cheese. Do y'all have Wawa in up, up north in Baltimore? We do. And Boston, do you have them Marco?
01:24:29
Speaker
No, no. We have to, we have to travel in that area to get that. Oh my God. So Wawa has, I don't can't remember if I've talked about this on the freaking podcast before, but Wawa has what's called a gobbler sandwich and it's a Thanksgiving sandwich. And I remember when we moved to Hawaii, like that was one of the things I was sad about during like the holiday season is like not getting a Wawa gobbler because it's like, it's just like the best. It's like Turkey, the dressing, the stuffing, the cranberry sauce, like.
01:24:55
Speaker
all on just this hoagie bun and it is delightful. They must make them different where you live because I've done it a couple of times and I think I got it after you said something and recommended it and it is so like sopping soaking wet with gravy. It's like almost unedible. Oh my gosh. They just don't know how to make it I guess.
01:25:18
Speaker
Maybe they make them better in Virginia. It's man. Yeah, I dig it. I'm into it. I'm just gonna say no gravy or something because it's just like the bread is just like a sponge. It's like I couldn't even eat it. You should have you should have to have you should ask if they'll toast it for you. Like recommend to getting it toasted so then your bread's a little bit crispier. You know what I mean? So then it like absorbs a little bit of the the juiciness and it doesn't just turn your bread into like soggy mush.
01:25:42
Speaker
And you're on a whole nother level now. Hey, listen. Listen, I'm 35 weeks pregnant. You want to talk food? I'm into it. Nice. I've been craving some Thanksgiving foods. I'm ready for next week.
