00:01:57

Welcome to the Facebook group. It's going to be a lot of fun. And I'm going to have Seth tell you about, we have yet another giveaway this week. Uh, we are giving away an Eagle Moss Brett Hart figure, and I'm going to get, have Seth give you all the details for that. Yeah. So the latest giveaway, this one's going to be all centered around just listening to the podcast. So basically you get a chance to win just for doing something.
00:02:15
Speaker
that you're already doing. So to enter, all you gotta do is take a screenshot of your phone, listening to this week's episode of the Chick Foley show, and then DM that to either Sheena on Instagram, or you can send it to Marco on Twitter, and then we'll tally them all up, and we'll do a live raffle on the show next week. The winner's gonna get one of these Eagle Moss statues. If you haven't seen them, they're really cool. They're perfect for, you know, it's something to just put a little bit of flair on your desk. They're smaller than a pop. I think they don't look quite as cartoonish either. It looks like something, you know,

Before we get inside the squared circle, we do have an announcement for all of our fully fam and loyal listeners out there. It is no surprise that life is super crazy for all of us right now. And there's so many unknowns heading into the fall with kids and work and
00:03:07
Speaker
COVID and all the things. And unfortunately, due to some unforeseen obligations, our very own hot take kid Phil Gentile is no longer able to be a part of the Chick Foley show.
Phil Gentile Departs the Show
00:03:20
Speaker
Um, it's a lot of work you guys to show up weekend and week out and be prepared to record a weekly show, especially with all the wrestling that you have to watch and all of that. And, uh, for two years, uh, HTK and myself along with the MVP have been committed to showing up and entertaining our Foley fam. So I wanted to take a moment and thank Phil.
00:03:37
Speaker
for all the hard work he's done for the show and the community. And there would be no Chick Foley show without the Hot Take Kid. But don't be too heartbroken fan because HTK will still be alive and well in the group. He was slinging action figures and cooking all the things and drinking all the high noons. But we want to take a moment to wish Phil well on all his future endeavors. And our very own MVP, as you probably heard earlier in the show, is taking over the Chick Foley show, Twitter.
NXT TakeOver 30 Highlights
00:04:05
Speaker
Um, and we have a brand new co-host here in the heel has been Seth Phelps. So welcome Seth to the chick Foley show. Um, so let's go ahead and get inside the squared circle. This, uh, this segment is sponsored by chalk line. You can use code chick to save 15% off your order. Let's jump right into takeover takeover was on Saturday. We had takeover 30. Uh, what were your overall thoughts on the takeover show, Marco?
00:04:30
Speaker
Um, another great show from, uh, uh, from, uh, NXT. Um, it seemed like it's been, it's been a, like a, kind of like a spread from when they had a last, like the, their last pay-per-view, uh, seemed like it was like, it's been in forever. It's not a sense they put one on, but, uh, uh, like technically the COVID hour, but, uh, I really enjoyed it. All the matches were superb in my, in my, uh, in my memory anyway. Um.
00:04:54
Speaker
especially the, uh, the, the main event with, uh, Karen cross and Keith leaves. That was a battle of the big men. Um, it was everything I expected as well. And that type of match, uh, the ladder mattress, uh, the ladder mattress, probably like my favorite match out of the whole pay-per-view. Um, it was a lot of fun. Yeah. Bronson Reed really showed, um, he belongs in NXT and he's a, he's going to come up as one of their, uh, main stars pretty soon, but yeah, overall, definitely, definitely enjoyed the show. For sure. Seth, what did you think the highlight of the show was?
00:05:25
Speaker
To me it was probably the main event. It was my first time getting to see Killer Cross or Carry On Cross as he's known in NXT in action. The entrance was cool. Definitely liked his match with Keith Lee even though it was a little bit slower paced than what we're used to seeing in a TakeOver main event. Overall was a good show. I think TakeOver was definitely hurt by not having a crowd. That's the one thing you can always count on at a TakeOver show is the crowd just really bringing the show to life and it suffered for just the overall presentation, especially now that
00:05:54
Speaker
WWE is running shows in the Thunderdome on the main roster. It really makes the Performance Center just look a little bit drab I actually think they were at full sail but still similar setups what they've had at the Performance Center and it just didn't really work for me the presentation wise but the match is still all delivered, you know from Finn Valor All the way through to the main event. It was good action. I'd say it was definitely close to What the the bottom half of the rankings for takeovers overall but that just shows you the overall quality of takeover because it was still
00:06:25
Speaker
Uh, better than about 95% of the wrestling shows you're going to see out there. True. But you, you kind of mentioned that carrying, uh, well, he's noticed.
00:06:31
Speaker
Kyrian here on the on the Chick Foley show. So you mentioned Kyrian and you know, Keith Lee was a little bit slower. But you know, as we know now, he separated his shoulder like midway through the match. So I think it was coming like he was performing with a bat with a bad shoulder. So I mean, I'm pretty sure they had to adjust with that. So there, you know, who knows what it would have looked like had they had Kyrian been able to stay healthy. I'm sure he was just trying to protect or Keith Lee was just trying to protect him. And you know, Kyrian was kind of favoring his arm and everything.
00:06:58
Speaker
Um, which brings us to, you know, tonight, uh, actually, since we're already here talking about it, carrying cross had to relinquish the NXT title. He did defeat Keith Lee to, um, to win the NXT title and then he had to relinquish it tonight.
Upcoming NXT Matches and Talent Praise
00:07:11
Speaker
But next week on Tuesday, we are going to get a freaking phenomenal.
00:07:16
Speaker
four-way Iron Man match. We have Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Finn Balor, and Adam Cole going head-to-head in a four-way Iron Man match. So I'm super stoked. Hila has been thinking somebody's watching his universe because, you know, I've never heard of a four-way Iron Man match, and he literally booked one like two weeks ago in his NXT, or in his 2K universe. Yeah, actually, I wasn't even sure if it was even a thing that could be done, but I kind of had the idea. And I got on Create A Match and was able to set it up, so...
00:07:45
Speaker
Kind of funny. I know it's probably just a coincidence, but still pretty cool that we're actually going to see it in action next week. Huge match. Definitely one of the biggest matches in NXT history. Um, just, I hope carry on, carry on cross can come back quickly. Cause he's definitely a superstar just waiting to happen. You know, I think he's going to translate really well in the main roster also. So it could be a situation like we saw with Drew McIntyre, where after he was, after he dropped the belt, the next time we saw him was on the main roster. Cause he definitely has that kind of vibe. Uh, but.
00:08:15
Speaker
One thing I'll say, I know we heard separated shoulder. That was all the reports. I think it's got to be something a little bit more than that because a separated shoulder, you know, a lot of times you see NFL players, they come back for that in like two weeks or so. So it would be interesting to see what the overall damage was to a shoulder. And it's just that much more respect. He was able to carry on the match with a Haas like Keith Lee.
00:08:34
Speaker
For sure, for sure. Also, can we talk about our boy, Pat McAfee? I'm not even going to front. I was really down on this match, and then he kind of showed out. He still looked a little bit green, but he definitely exceeded my expectations for just somebody coming in and wrestling with one of the best wrestlers in the world, Adam Cole. What did you think about Pat McAfee, Marco? Since this was a shoot fight and all?
00:09:00
Speaker
Oh yeah, it was a totally shoot fight, nothing kayfabe about it. I mean, no. Um, but yeah, no, he, uh, I'd seen a lot of people on Twitter saying he's like, that's like probably the best in-ring celebrity debut, uh, for WWE. Like just like a celebrity coming in off of, off the streets pretty much. Obviously he's an athlete. Most, most athletes take, uh, two wrestling pretty fast. Uh, if you look at like the, uh, Shayna Baszler is in the.
00:09:25
Speaker
and the Ronda Rousey's and stuff like that. But they're, but they're actually fighters. Yeah. Pat McAfee is a punter. You know what I mean? Like I would have never thought in any universe that that would translate to wrestling. You know what I mean? Like we've seen other people come in and it just does, does not work. But yeah, he, he did really frequently and he's got the chops. You know what I mean? He's got, he can
00:09:45
Speaker
speak on the mic and make you believe it and he has that really crappy heel persona. You just hate him, you just hate his face, you hate his attitude, all of it. I was very impressed and I'm excited to see where it goes.
SummerSlam Highlights and WWE Departures
00:10:02
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. The other takeaway, I didn't know he could do a moonsault and stuff like that. That came out of nowhere. I was like, what the hell? You can tell he's been probably dabbling in wrestling because he's been with the company for a couple of years now. He's probably just been jumping in the rig while he's at the Performance Center or with the NXT guys and stuff like that. It was inevitable.
00:10:26
Speaker
He was pretty impressive in the pre-show could get you in that kind of ring shape. You know what I mean? We do have a new NXT North American champion, Damien Priest. I called it. I just, I had, I had just had a feeling, you know, WWE keeps trying to make Damien priest happen. Even though I just don't want it to happen. That match was, was really good though. What did you think about the ladder match?
00:10:52
Speaker
a great match. I think, you know, Marco touched on earlier. I think it was a real star making performance for Bronson Reed. Um, I'm not a huge Damien priest fan. I really feel like he's basically Baron Corbin part two solid entering performer, but it hasn't got a lot of charisma. He's lost so many big matches though. So far that if he lost this one, I think he kind of would have been dead in the water. So from just from a booking standpoint, I get it. Um, but me as a fan, I would have rather seen, uh, Cameron Grimes, but I think Cameron Grimes
00:11:19
Speaker
is going to be huge. Um, once they really pull the trigger on giving him a big push, I think he's got a lot of charisma and he's great in the ring. And then Bronson Reed is my first time really seeing him in action. And I was a fan. He looked really good. I love the, uh, the bad man, big, a little gear. Yes. Ready to see that as action figures. Hopefully once we, uh, they get one rolled out of him, that's the attire that they decided to go with, but it was a good match and a really good match and we'll see what Damien Preece can do. But, uh, I don't have a lot of high expectations for, for a memorable title reign from him.
00:11:49
Speaker
No, he's gonna have to get some new jeans if he's gonna get over with me But lastly in NXT news we did see tonight Breezango won the NXT tag title So super awesome super excited for those guys And then yeah, it looks like NXT is still going on But we'll let you guys know if anything else comes up as it was long overdue for Tyler Breeze to get some gold Maybe this guy I've been a huge fan of his title
00:12:17
Speaker
First time he's ever had. Oh, man. Yeah, I didn't even realize that in WWE. And he's been there for a long time. First time I actually saw him in action was at the NXT house show in San Jose. They called it The Untakeover. It was just a legendary house show, but wasn't on TV or anything. And he fought in one of the first matches that night, his first time ever seeing him. And I was just hooked. Dude had so much charisma, which is kind of a throwback to those over-the-top characters from 80s and early 90s wrestling. And I'm just really proud to see him
00:12:47
Speaker
you know, finally get some gold and hopefully he can use this springboard to bigger and better things because I think the guy's just, you know, a real superstar. Yes, I absolutely agree. Any more thoughts on NXT, Marco, before we move on to SummerSlam? We have to talk about the most epic Triple H finger point pitcher, I think, in recent memory. I'm not sure if you guys see this floating around. Oh, I must have missed it. You didn't see this. It's a Damian Priest.
00:13:12
Speaker
that the hot tub with the it's like two girl he's like he's in the hot tub he has a bottle of champagne and it's two what two girls one on each side and then Triple H is like outside of the hot tub but just like pointing at uh at David it's the greatest it's the greatest triple everyone's called it the greatest Triple H point pitcher
00:13:28
Speaker
I saw the, I saw the, I saw the Damien priest thing where he like jumped in the hot tub, like in his full jeans, you know, with the, with the chicks, but I did not know that, um, triple H did a finger point. Yeah. I'll have to send you, I'll see if I can save still. Oh yeah. One of the females is, uh, Brandy Lauren. She's actually a NXT signee. I'm not sure who the other one was, but I was wondering if they were poking a little bit of fun at, uh, Jericho. Cause you know, the champagne was definitely front and center.
00:13:54
Speaker
In the pictures and in the celebration, I wonder if that was like a little subtle dig at AEW and Jericho. Interesting. I just sent it to our chat so you could take a look. Oh my gosh, that is awesome. Oh my God, I love it. Okay, I know I'm hating on Damian Priest, but that is an epic photo. If I was him, I would blow that up into poster size. I might do that myself, actually.
00:14:20
Speaker
We'll get, we should also get one for Mike Lanham. Mike Lanham will really appreciate having that piece of artwork in his home. All right, let's jump into SummerSlam. So we're going to talk about the, we can pretty much lump these two matches together, but, you know, the Bailey Shasha.
00:14:38
Speaker
Bayley Sasha, Oscar matches. We saw Bayley retain the Smackdown title and then Oscar and Sasha had a freaking banger of a match where Sasha did lose. I don't know what it is about WWE, but they do not let Sasha
00:14:56
Speaker
freaking defend her title. Like every time she gets a title, she loses the first, the first time she has to defend it. And it's always, it's just like, it's ridiculous at this point. But so Oscar is the raw women's champion. What did you guys think about this, these matches?
00:15:13
Speaker
Both matches were good. Um, obviously the caliber performers in there, it's no surprise. Um, I was, I was a little bit shocked to see that Sasha lost the belt and Bailey kept hers. I thought it was going to be the other way around. Yeah. Marco and I both thought that too, but I guess they, uh, you know, I guess they want to give us what we're not expecting. So.
00:15:32
Speaker
We'll see if they finally pull the trigger on, you know, Sasha and Bailey having a full fledged feud on the main roster. It's been kind of a couple of starts and stops, but it's never really clicked the same way as their legendary rivalry did in NXT. So it looks like we're on the first steps of it. We'll see what happens this Sunday at payback when they defend the tag team belts.
00:15:49
Speaker
Yeah. They've definitely booked Oscar strong recently. So I don't know what their plans are with her, but having her win on, um, bra was, you know, they booked her strong again this week. So I don't know. So awesome. I thought, again, I thought it was going to go the opposite way too. Um, we did have to say goodbye to somebody that I love and is near and dear to my heart, Renee.
00:16:10
Speaker
I just think she's just freaking the best. I love so much of all the things that she does. But she is leaving WWE to go on to greener pastures, who knows what that is. Everybody speculates that she's gonna go to AEW. I think she's done with wrestling. I think she has something bigger and better. I know we kinda touched on it on the show, but I mean, she would be great as a sportscaster anywhere. She could have her own show. The potential is really there, so.
00:16:35
Speaker
We did say goodbye to Renee. We also said goodbye to Sonya Deville. Their match got changed from a hair versus hair match. I guess her lawyer had some sort of dispute against her being in the hair versus hair match, because I guess she was going to lose her hair. That was what I saw today. Well, she's going to have to be going to court several times in the next couple of months because of her stalker case. Oh. Maybe they want to show up with a suddenly shaved head.
00:17:00
Speaker
That makes so much sense. Yeah, I never even considered that the stalker thing had anything to do with it. I know we didn't talk about it last week on the show. We kind of just glossed over it. But Sonya did have someone, a fan from Twitter, stalk her, come into her home. She was able to get away. Mandy Rose was at the house as well. And it was a terrible, terrible situation. But they did change the hair versus hair stipulation to a loser leaves.
00:17:27
Speaker
WWE and Mandy Rose won, Sonya's leaving WWE, Mandy Rose proceeded to do the worst worm that I've ever seen in my life. Or what does Otis call it? The caterpillar. The caterpillar. Yeah, she did. She did the worst caterpillar I've ever seen in my life. It was like the most awkward thing. And Seth's mom was here and she was like, that's her boyfriend. She doesn't even watch her. She's like, that's her boyfriend. I was like, oh man, poor Otis.
00:17:56
Speaker
We did get to see the debut of Dominick Mysterio, maybe soon to be Prince Mysterio. Did you guys know, did you guys see in the Facebook page, someone said, you know, we were talking about last week how Rey wanted to name Dominick or he wanted him to have the ring name Prince Mysterio. And I was like, what? I mean, it's not like Rey's the king. And somebody was like, yeah, the Spanish translation of Rey is actually king. I was like,
00:18:19
Speaker
Well, the more you know, I felt that little star going across, you know, the more you know. So Seth being the biggest Seth Rollins fan, I know. What did you think of Dominic versus Seth? What did you think of Dominic's debut? It was good. It was a good match. They let Dominic get his shine on a little bit. You know, he looked like he belonged. He looked better than Pat McAfee. You know, I think that was kind of the comparison is, you know, you got somebody making their debut in a big match two nights in a row. And he definitely looked like he belonged a lot more than Pat did.
00:18:49
Speaker
Which makes sense, because supposedly Dominic's been training for this for years now. But I thought he looked good. They did the right thing by not making it too unbelievable and having him beat Seth. I honestly thought that we might see a little bit more shenanigans than we did and something happened and it cost Seth the match. But Seth looked pretty dominant, but Dominic was able to have a few spots to really get a shine on. But I enjoyed it. Excited to see where Seth goes from here. What did you think about Prince Mysterio's debut, Marco?
00:19:18
Speaker
I agree. I thought it was really good. I thought definitely better than Pat McAfee. He should be anyway. His father's name is Serio, so if he came in underwhelming, that would have been pretty horrible. I do like his gear. I like what he was dressed up in. A lot of people were saying it was a cross between
00:19:36
Speaker
uh, Glacier and I forget the other wrestler could like the kind of like the, oh, Roman Reigns, it was like, Roman Reigns vest slash Glacier. That's what they were saying. That is what it looks like to figure out who it looked like. But yeah, I actually wasn't a fan. I don't know. I didn't like the hood. I don't know. He never put it. It was kind of awkward. Like his, he has a very like, um, unique body style. Like he's kind of big, but he's not big. You know what I mean? Like he's just kind of like brooding. Um, so I don't know. I don't know what I expected him to wear, but I felt like that was a little bit
00:20:05
Speaker
strange. Especially like he came out looking all like a superhero and at the beginning his mom dropped him off and he was wearing a little backpack. Oh my gosh, it looks like he's going, I'm sending my baby to college. Here he is.
00:20:20
Speaker
You make some friends now. Okay. You make some friends. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I was impressed with Dominic's debut. I know we've given a hard time to both Pat McAfee and Dominic on this show in recent, in recent weeks, but, uh, they both, they both showed up and showed out. So, you know, we need to, we need to maybe give more people a hard time and though they'll feel like they need to prove us wrong.
Roman Reigns' Impact on Universal Championship
00:20:40
Speaker
We did see Drew McIntyre retain against Randy Orton. So this, I think Michael Cole was trying to throw us off the, throw us off the scent here a little bit, because at the end of this match, Michael Cole made sure to emphasize you'll never see it coming after he hit like that backslide pin. And if you notice, neither guy hit their, their finisher either. Did you notice that? Like there was no claymore kicks and no RKO's in this, in this movie or in this movie, in this match.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah, Randy has been so hot right now. And obviously, you don't want to do anything to slow down his momentum. So I think it lets him save face a little bit. Drew kind of stole one. But it was a great match. I'm really excited to see where this feud goes. It looks like Randy's going to be taking a little bit of a detour for payback. And then we'll see Drew come back after getting punted just time after time on Monday night. Yep. All right. Any thoughts on McIntyre, Marco?
00:21:38
Speaker
Not much. It was a really great match. I hope people are still trying not to get away from that Randy Orton's boring match because that match was really good. I didn't think it was boring at all. It was pretty fast-paced for a Randy Orton match anyway. I think someone called out that it was the first time ever that I'm not sure someone's going to be like, no, it isn't. But they were saying that it's the first time ever that finishers weren't actually hit. They would attempt the finisher, but they never landed the finisher at all.
00:22:07
Speaker
Yeah, that's legit. That's what I just said. There was not a claymore and there was not an RKO in this entire match. Like you said, they attempted, but they never actually did it. Then it was like that little backslide. Those are two of the strongest finishers in all of WWE right now, too. It makes sense that neither one of them got to use it, but Drew's been a great champ. It's a real shame that he's had to
00:22:33
Speaker
carry the belt during the you know the covid era or whatever we're gonna call it because i think he uh he's just you know he's the rare um you know good guy champion who doesn't seem corny um they haven't been setting him up in like the john scene or roman rain situation where he's got to overcome the odds he's just got to go out there and kick ass and dominate and he just seems really comfortable in his own skin um you know it's just it's just a shame that he's missed out on having a live crowd for this whole thing yeah
00:22:58
Speaker
Yeah. Cause he was over like Rover man, like, especially like going into WrestleMania, like he was, he would have just had the pop of the cinch. You know what I mean? So yeah, it is a shame. So hopefully, um, they do start eventually getting fans back in and he'll have another opportunity to, to have this kind of run, but the fiend, um, one and is the two time universal champ. Um,
00:23:20
Speaker
Before we get into what actually happened at the end of the show, I want to ask you guys, where the hell was Alexa Bliss? She's just like an afterthought all of a sudden. They used her during this whole buildup and then she was nowhere to be found during this match. I don't know. I'm not sure if she's always injured or something like that. Something's always going on with her. She'll appear for a little bit, then she'll disappear.
00:23:49
Speaker
I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm saying. She tweeted her Memoji, and it was like a shrug shoulder Memoji. During that match, basically, I don't know why I'm not a part of this match. They're fighting, and they've used me to build this whole feud. My theory is that they probably had some sort of a finish set up where Alexa would play into it or whatever, and then maybe they found out within the last 24, 36 hours before the show that Roman was going to come back.
00:24:19
Speaker
They just scrapped it all. They don't want to make it too overbooked or too crazy. So just keep the focus on Roman and let Alexa just fade off into the background. But yeah, it is weird. You'd think she'd be there in the payoff of the end of this feud. But I think it's just another classic WWE long-term storytelling. Never get too invested in someone you think is going to pay off. This was cool because we were just praising them for
00:24:43
Speaker
having, you know, doing callbacks to a story that's, you know, a few years in the making with this whole Alexa and Bron thing. And then, of course, when it comes time to pay it off, it just gets dropped. So who knows? She may show up again. But but, yeah, definitely she was missing an action and it was very noticeable at the end of the night on SummerSlam.
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah, on that note, um, the fiend did win. And then as the show is going off, the range train comes in and spears the fiend right off his feet. Um, and we noticed.
00:25:16
Speaker
Roman Reigns has a new attitude. He's kind of a little bit healish because he, he speared Braun too. And he was talking a lot of, a lot of crap to the fiend, you know, saying like, you, you don't belong here. Like you can't carry this and you know, holding the title up over him. And he's got a, he's got a new shirt that says, you know, uh, wreck everything and leave. Um, he's got some new chompers.
00:25:35
Speaker
that was setting the Twitterverse on fire. So I'm freaking stoked to see Roman Reigns back. He has been sorely, sorely missed. All the people who used to boo Roman, I feel like I just wanna be like, see, I told you when he was gone, you would miss him.
00:25:52
Speaker
I mean, people wanted him back to that whole time when he left for his own health reasons and stuff like that. And a lot of people were like, oh my God, where the hell is he going? Why doesn't he come? So that show, people actually wanted him to be there. And you could tell him not being there that the product is a little
00:26:10
Speaker
stale, him not being that main focal point on, even on SmackDown. SmackDown's good. There's great talent on SmackDown, AJ Styles, Matt Riddle, all those guys. Heaven Roman Messon was like, you could tell it was a huge piece, especially obviously Becky Lynch too, her being on that
00:26:28
Speaker
showed a little bit of a weakness in WWE's star power in that sense. But like I said, I'm a conductor on the rain strain. I'm there for it. Anytime he shows up, I'm there. Yeah, he did show a little heel persona. He brought something to the fact where you two wouldn't be where you are without me. I'd be you two, which he pretty much did. He made both
00:26:50
Speaker
He had a few with the shield at the YA family and then he pretty much made Braun Strowman like they feuded like five years it seemed like like just Braun Strowman just Tossing him around or or tipping him over and some type of like contraption or something like that So he's not wrong, but I'm hoping they continue with this like this this like badass like Hill persona that he's supposed to be that's how he wasn't NXT Yeah, so he's a heel. He was good
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's really good. He didn't have, he didn't have his normal vest on. He's wearing a shirt. So I'm curious to see if, you know, maybe he's gotten in like some killer shape and Vince is actually going to let him wrestle shirtless. Can you imagine, you know, Roman Reigns without any like coverage. Yeah. There's pictures on his Instagram. He's been showing like, uh, he was like, he's, he's been working out and stuff like that. So I think he's, they, uh, they took the vest off of him and put the shirt on Keith Lee, which we'll get into, uh, we'll get into later on. Yeah.
00:27:46
Speaker
What did you think about Roman Reigns coming back, Seth? It was awesome. Like I said, this is the Roman that we should always been getting, the badass ass kicker. Just hopefully it continues. The dude's got a ton of natural charisma, but I think for so many years, they just tried to make him the next John Cena instead of letting him just be the first Roman Reign. Hopefully, they stick with it. I'm very intrigued to see where it goes. It's pretty crazy that we're already rolling right into it this Sunday with him in a triple threat match with The Fiend and Braun Strowman.
00:28:16
Speaker
Uh, very excited. Yep. Um, well, we've come to the end of the card, so it is time to announce the chick Foley show prediction champion.
Chick Foley Show Speculations and AEW News
00:28:27
Speaker
And between myself and Marco for a two night score, uh, eight to 14 versus seven to 14.
00:28:36
Speaker
Chick Foley retains the Chick Foley show prediction championship. So I'll put that right here over my shoulder. I wanna recount. Carry it, carry it. Dude, you had a sweep. Listen to this. So in your card for NXT, you predicted every single match right for NXT. But you predicted almost every single match wrong for SummerSlam. The only SummerSlam match you got right was the Fiend winning.
00:29:04
Speaker
Cuz I thought radio was gonna win cuz yeah, I'm a radio and mark so Dominic and Sasha and you know, Sonia and Garza and Andrade, but yeah, you swept the the NXT card after the first night. I was like damn I'll take that I got something to worry about here and I was like, no I was like the I was like the trailblazers the Lakers right there
00:29:28
Speaker
Yep. All right. Um, so real quick, we'll, we'll touch on AEW dynamite. I did not get to watch AEW dynamite, but I will let Seth and Marco give you the quick highlights. Um, we have totally managing, um, FTR. So.
00:29:44
Speaker
Yeah, so this is, you know, a lot of chatter. There's been dropping hints that there may be another, you know, a new four horsemen coming out with, you know, because Tully already manages Sean Spears and now he's got FTR kind of in the brainbusters role, like Arne Anderson Tully used to be. And the speculations that Adam Page is going to end up turning on Kenny and be the guy to kind of lead it, which I'd be down for. I'm a huge Adam Page fan. He's probably my favorite in AEW, along with the Young Bucks.
00:30:12
Speaker
So, I would be cool to see that. What's your thoughts on then bringing the Four Horsemen back, Marco? We've had these talks before on the show where everyone's against the Four Horsemen. But I think that they do bring it back. They should name it something else, not the Four Horsemen. I think they will. Yeah. I mean, have it as a four-man group with shades of
00:30:33
Speaker
the full horseman, like the fail of it, but not name it that because you gotta go with something new. Obviously, I mean, the other idea behind that would be like Cody since he got destroyed by the Dark Order. He joins forces with FTR and
00:30:49
Speaker
and Adam Page, but we'll see. If you watched that, what was it the last week or the week before where they had the tag team appreciation? They had like Arne and Tully were there. They weren't really seeing eye to eye at that point. So who knows what's going to happen with that, bud?
00:31:08
Speaker
I, it was, it was inevitable. I can't even talk. Inevitable. It was going to happen. If you listen to Aaron Anderson's podcast, um, he's really high on, on, uh, FTR and, um, he always said to him and Tully, they were like pretty much neck and neck when it comes to tag team. He always says FTR is a better, better tag team than they were when they were, they were young, good guys. Obviously there, there's a lot different move sets that there are, uh, now that there are, there were back then. So, um, it's inevitable. I think, I think I will have his hand in the FTR at some point.
00:31:38
Speaker
It's just how it's going to play out. AAW is really great at long-term storytelling, as you can see. They're miles ahead of WWE right now when it comes to that. They call back a lot of stuff. We'll get into it later, especially with the Orange Cassidy.
00:31:55
Speaker
Tris Jericho just to play off of their names and what they represent. The matches that they're going to come out with is I'm stoked. I cannot remember if we talked about this in our chat or if this was on the show, but we were like we talked about Jericho and Cassidy having some sort of like like being a mimosa tag team or like something. And then all of a sudden now they're having a mimosa mayhem match, which I'm super excited for because I have no I have no doubt that it's going to be extremely entertaining, especially with with Cassidy and Jericho.
00:32:23
Speaker
Um, but the format of this match, how does it work, Sethi? So it's basically the same rules as like an old school casket match. Um, so you can still win by pinfall or submission, or you can win by throwing your opponent, you know, into the tank of a mimosa, you know, substitute the, uh,
00:32:40
Speaker
the the casket for mimosa or like a dumpster match you know i just watched wrestlemania 14 a couple weeks ago with the dumpster match between the new age outlaws and cactus jack and terry funk uh it's the same setup um but i i just love that they're just kind of embracing the uh the you know the natural absurdity of professional wrestling and this is another reason why i think aw is the best in the game right now you know you're gonna have
00:33:02
Speaker
some serious matches between like Mox and MJF. You're going to have some stuff where you see some of the best technical wrestling in the world. And then you're going to see this match, which is just going to be a ton of fun. And I look forward to seeing Orange Cassidy hopefully whoop Chris Jericho's ass again. Yeah. So we have a brand new TNT champion, the second ever TNT champion. Brodie Lee basically destroys Cody to win the TNT championship. What do you think about this, Marco?
00:33:31
Speaker
Yeah, that was kind of surprising, because we thought he was pretty much buried after he had that match with Jon Moxley. And I think we came on the show and were just like, oh, why would they do that? They built him up to be this big killer guy, and then they just have him lose to Jon Moxley, which, I mean, it's his first shot at the AEW title. We shouldn't expect him to win in hindsight anyway. True. Yeah, it was kind of surprising that he just came out and just like,
00:33:57
Speaker
Completely obliterated Cody never seen it coming. I did not know
00:34:03
Speaker
That should have been the tagline for Fade. Then he returned, he did say previously he would return the title if he did with the title and he returned it in pieces. Did you guys see that? It was very cool visual. I think that was kind of like a thing for the internet marks out there to say, hey, we broke it up for you guys. It's history. We're not going to show it anymore.
00:34:31
Speaker
Yeah, I'm really happy for Brody Lee that they actually did that. It makes him look strong again. He's probably one of the strongest stables in that company right now besides the inner circle, which they really haven't been doing the inner circle thing as much really, but just big and dark order, the dominant faction right now I think is the way to go.
00:34:54
Speaker
Yeah. AEW was on Saturday night, um, this week. And, you know, I know we don't talk about numbers on here cause it's freaking boring, but, um, AEW, AEW retained like its numbers. Like it hit the same numbers that it would on like a Wednesday night, which I thought was pretty impressive. Like for, you know, a Saturday night, they changed it up and, um, it just goes to show you how loyal the, uh, dynamite crew is, uh, to.
00:35:15
Speaker
to watch an AEW real quick. We'll, we'll run down a couple of things that happened on, um, raw retribution reemerged on raw. Um, there is some speculation. There's like a picture. Have you seen that picture going around where there's like, they've like tried to figure out who is, um, who is in retribution? Um, I didn't know a lot of them, but I, I.
00:35:35
Speaker
The picture shows, it says Kayden Carter, Mia Yim, Shane Thorne, Dominic Dijakovic, Dio Madden, and Chelsea Green. I'm almost 100% certain that one of them is Mia Yim, because I told Seth that whenever I'm talking and we were watching it was Mia Yim. What do you think about that combo? It's kind of, they're just, it's very random.
00:35:55
Speaker
Yeah, they did say it was going to be like a kind of like a like a hodgepodge of a NXT people. But Dominic Dijakovic did get called up to the main roster. He just hasn't shown up on TV yet, technically. It would make sense for Mia, though, too, because if Keith Lee is on Raw, then obviously Mia Yim is going to need to be on on Raw too, because they don't usually separate couples.
00:36:18
Speaker
A lot of people are speculating the bigger guy in the middle was also Roman Reigns because of the build and the same kind of gear he was wearing. But I don't think Roman Reigns is the leader of Retribution. That would be a huge swerve if they actually did that. I'd be super impressed if he just came out and was like, he had these people just destroying the show while he wasn't there, then he comes in as the leader. That'd actually be pretty sick, but I'm not going to put that on WWE to give us that type of surprise.
00:36:45
Speaker
Yeah, it would be pretty, it would be pretty cool. I mean, I guess, you know, with retribution, it could just kind of be like retribution toward like the, the audience, you know, how they always like booed Roman Reigns and he did everything to be the hero. And like, now he's just like turn and he's like, screw you guys. Like I'm tired of you all, you know, now, now, now you love me. I disappeared and like, now you love me. Um, so that, that can be really cool. Um, I don't know if they'll, I don't know if they'll attach retribution to Roman Reigns. It seems like
00:37:09
Speaker
not something they would do to like their megastar, but we'll see. We saw Randy Orton freaking savagely attack Drew McIntyre and punt his head off several times.
WWE Debuts and Tag Team Formations
00:37:20
Speaker
And then Randy Orton got confronted by a newly repackaged Keith Lee, which I was not happy about at all. I just feel like Keith Lee had all the momentum he just
00:37:32
Speaker
He looked amazing. His music was amazing. All the things. And he got the Vince treatment. It just has Vince's name written all over it. He's wearing this tight.
00:37:43
Speaker
shirt, like he looks like he's like stuffed into a can of biscuits. Like, you know, I'm all about big dude season and just embracing the body. You know what I mean? Like, why can't we just let him wrestle without a shirt? He had a shaven face. Like he's all smooth shaven. He's got new entrance music, which I absolutely hate. Um, speaking of the entrance music, did you guys hear there's like controversy with the entrance music, which is why all the entrance music sucks now. Like they're telling them not to use their, their CFO, um,
00:38:09
Speaker
entrance music anymore to get rid of it and they're trying to repackage them. The superstars are not happy about that. Yeah, actually put that in the outside, the square circle stuff. But I guess when they signed the deal with CFO, it was a deal that would CFO could take advantage of. So it was like basically they get half the royalties. It was like a 50-50 split. So anytime their music is played, they get a lot of money. That's something normally WWE doesn't do. They like to control everything. True.
00:38:39
Speaker
Now they have like a new person that makes the music. He sucks. He or she's not really that good. Dude, CFO gave us like undisputed era, like freaking glorious from Bobby. Seth Rollins music. I mean, like some of the most iconic, amazing entrance music that like translates outside of wrestling. You know, you could be at the gym.
00:39:02
Speaker
listening to the second coming and just like freaking, you know, pumping iron, right? So the legend of, uh, you know, the, the God of progress, interesting as Jim Johnson, he's still out there, you know, he hasn't really, I figured AEW would snatch him up, but they haven't.
00:39:16
Speaker
So what better time for WWE to just go back to what they know best and bring him back? I'm sure you could still crank out some bangers for these guys. But yeah, it is unfortunate. I think CFO, I wasn't as high on them as some people. For every really good memorable theme they had, they also had other ones that just sound like stock music from a video game menu or something.
00:39:38
Speaker
It is sad to see, you know, Keith Lee who had a very memorable theme that was a big part of his presentation go away. And honestly, to me, I thought he was coming out to Bobby Lashley's music. That's what it sounded like to me. So definitely took a little bit something away from his debut. But the good thing about it is that he's a good enough performer that he's going to be able to overcome this. He already tweeted out there, but he said, just give him time. He's going to make it work.
00:39:59
Speaker
And I have no doubt that that's the case. Yeah, and you know, the wrestling fans, obviously, like, you know, wrestling fans love to have a knee jerk reaction. And they're like, Oh, my God, you know, I didn't like the way he was repackaged. I didn't like that he had to shave and he had new interest music and he had new gear. But I was like, I did appreciate the fact that they literally threw him in the ring with Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton, like the biggest, like stars on the show.
00:40:22
Speaker
Which shows that they do have faith in him. They know what he's worth and they know his value I just don't like the way that he looks at the at the moment So hopefully they can tweak it a little bit because he was wearing like some under armor esque Like tight shirt and then like the Samoa Joe shorts and it was just not not working for me at all But I mean he's gonna freakin rock it and I think he's gonna be a world champ at some point
00:40:46
Speaker
Yeah, I totally agree. They did the same thing with him and Roman. He was a lone survivor. It was him and Seth Rollins in Roman Reigns, right? Those were the last three in that Survivor Series. Then they left him with Roman. Obviously, they do have high hopes for
00:41:05
Speaker
Keith Lee. I mean, they have to package him in a way where he's likable for the greater audience for Rosso. Like you said, he did say it was clear. I know, that chinstrap beard, it's super offensive. I know people are just really, really against those types of things. He's been clean shamed before, too. But more recently, he said that chinstrap beard. So I think that's what we've become accustomed to seeing him as.
00:41:31
Speaker
I mean, he has a great look. He's not a bad looking dude. He has like awesome smirk that he does to everyone while he's doing his program. Yeah, and he's super well spoken. He's got it all. He'll be good. They won't stare him wrong if they don't have a program with Randy Orton right away. His very first match on the main roster is with Randy Orton on a pay-per-view. Yeah. Yeah, no, he's... There's no way he can go down from there. Hopefully not anyway.
00:41:57
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, we also saw, um, Naya and Shana are going to join forces, uh, for at payback, which is so random. You know, Naya and Shana, um, we're facing off on each other against underground. Did they even do raw underground this week? I don't even think they did. They did. Yeah. Listen, I was, I was in and out. Um, but, uh, so yeah, so they got Naya and Shana are tech air tag teaming, and I don't know what's going to come of this, but.
00:42:22
Speaker
I feel like Naya is going to end up hurting Shayna. They just keep putting her, they just keep putting them together. I'm like, dude, she's going to end up getting hurt. Like stop putting her with Naya. I don't know. I don't know why they're building up all the like, like the Iconics and Ruby Riot and Liv to like be tag teams. And then they just, they always just throw together like a mishmash team. And yeah, I don't, I don't get it. But I mean, obviously they're probably going to win the titles and
00:42:48
Speaker
It's just that WWE trope, like, you know, hey, we're going to put these two people who hate each other together to fight in a tag team match against the other two people to try to take them down. And then we're going to turn the tag team against each other. Yeah, it's a trope because that story works every single time. You know, a friend of the show, Vince Russo, it's one of those special teams. The first time they did that storyline was with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels back in 97 right before their big match.
00:43:15
Speaker
King of the ring and it was awesome. Yeah, so I'm a fan of it, you know, you can always see You know that where it's headed from a mile away whenever they start cooking one of these up But you know, I like it Shannon Bazer and I Jackson. It's a cool team. They compliment each other. Well, they're both, you know pretty strong and You know if Bailey and Sasha Banks gonna drop the belts, you know, I think this is at least somewhat interesting and we'll see where it goes. I
00:43:40
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited for Shayna to get back into any sort of title picture. I know there's some people out there that don't like her, but I really, I really like her. I think she's awesome. I think she's good. Cuts good promos. She's believable as a badass and as a champion because she could legitimately kill you with her bare hands. So super excited to see that, which that brings us to payback. We have payback. Like we literally just came out of a pay-per-view weekend and this coming weekend we have another
00:44:02
Speaker
Another
WWE Payback Preview
00:44:03
Speaker
pay-per-view. Yeah, I don't know when that's happened before, like we just had back-to-back pay-per-views, but that's what's happening this week. And we also- Supposedly this is something that WWE is going to start trying to do. It's like they're doing this like an experiment to see how it works and how well it's received and maybe something they do.
00:44:18
Speaker
from time to time from now on where they run a pay-per-view and then another one right after. The only time I can really remember them doing this is way back in 91. They had Survivor Series 91 and they had Tuesday in Texas like a week later. So it's not unheard of, but yeah, it's definitely something new and I don't know, I'm skeptical.
00:44:39
Speaker
Yeah, I'm skeptical too because WWE has a really long history of just like running the same matches over. We've seen it with like the Saudi matches. They'll do the Saudi show and then they'll literally run the same matches that they ran at the Saudi show in the American pay-per-view like the following week or two later.
00:44:58
Speaker
Um, so we're, we're going to do our payback predictions on Saturday night. We're going to record after, after we don't know all the matches yet, but after we figure out all the matches after a Friday night SmackDown, we are going to record a quick episode for you guys and do our predictions so that I can continue my reign of terror on the Chick-fil-A show prediction championship. Um, but we will run down the card really quickly. Um, we do have a universal title match against the fiend Bray Wyatt versus Roman Reigns.
00:45:25
Speaker
versus the monster, Braun Strowman. This is a no holds barred triple threat match. Should be really freaking good. I'm super excited. Um, the only thing is, is I feel like if Roman Reigns wins this, uh, he's going to get like, he's going to get that heat, you know, like kind of like how Seth got after he beat the fiend. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like it's, it's, it's kind of a tricky position for Roman to be in right now, like to beat, to come in. I mean, they can't have him lose. So I don't know, you know, like come, come back and then lose his first match.
00:45:56
Speaker
Yeah. Unless Alexa shows up at this match at some point and like kind of, you know, maybe Bronn gets the pin that Fiend retains and leaves Roman, like maybe Roman's like laid out somewhere or somewhere. It's a false kind of anywhere, so he could be like somewhere else in the building in the SSM2 and just keep them. Maybe they'll go back to the spot.
00:46:17
Speaker
Yeah, baby. They haven't done it. It's possible. They could be on a train. It could be on an actual rains train. Who knows? That's true. Yeah. The steep, what do they call, what do they call them? Braun Strowman, the steamboat, Braun Strowman. Strowman express. Strowman express. Yeah. So lots of train references here. We'll talk about how we think it's all going to play out on our predictions episode, but we also have a women's tag championship. Obviously we just talked about Shana and Naya are going to be facing Bailey and Sasha Banks.
00:46:44
Speaker
should be a good match. All these women are freaking amazing and can go. I'm just, I'm curious how the chemistry between Shana and Naya is going to play out. And we also have Keith Lee versus Randy Orton, which is going to be a freaking banger. Like let's be real. It's going to be awesome. Um, they gave us a little appetizer every Monday night, but now we're going to get the, uh, the real deal on Sunday. Um, you know,
00:47:05
Speaker
Like Sheena mentioned, you know, the shows that they do think Keith Lee's at least a potential main eventer, um, David Shoemaker, who's probably my favorite pro wrestling writer. He's he's got a big theory. He goes by cause the, uh, you know, the Randy Orton principle that.
00:47:18
Speaker
You know, they always say that Randy Orton is if you, if you design a wrestler from the ground up, that, you know, you'd get Randy Orton. I think there's definitely some truth to that. And he says the quickest way to tell somebody is really a main event or not is just to put them in a ring with Randy Orton and see how they look. So we're going to get that test first hand on Sunday. And I'm looking forward to seeing what the, what the limitless one does.
00:47:38
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe you'll have a new name. Um, you guys were joking. I thought it was hilarious. Um, yeah. He's just going to be Keith. He's going to be Keith. Limitlessly. Yeah. He's got new music, new look, see how far they take this repackage. Yes. Um, and lastly, the last match that we know about as of right now is a United States championship match against Apollo cruise versus Bobby Lashley. It's going to be a good match. I don't really, I mean,
00:48:05
Speaker
To me, the United States Championship picture for me is not that interesting. I do think Bobby Lashley versus Apollo Crews is going to be good. I love Apollo Crews. I can't stand Bobby Lashley. I instantly mentally tune out as soon as I hear a steam user who comes out. No charisma whatsoever. He looks like a million bucks. He looks the part.
00:48:26
Speaker
But I can't think of any time I've ever been entertained by him. Maybe his match he had with Roman at Extreme Rules 2018, that was pretty good. Yeah, that was really good. But other than that, yeah, just nothing. But I'm glad to find out if I see Apollo get his shine. It took a few years too long. I think they rushed him out of NXT for whatever reason. I think he would have done better to cook down there for a few more years. Yeah. But very glad to see him get to shine on, and hopefully he continues to dominate and beats Bobby on Sunday.
00:48:54
Speaker
I think you just don't like Bobby Lashley because he doesn't have eyebrows. We talked about this on the show. I think you just inherently don't like people who don't have eyebrows. Like it's just kind of like a weird, it just makes your face weird. So, you know, you just kind of automatically tune them out. So maybe if you got his brows done.
00:49:11
Speaker
You know, he would have a, he would have a better chance of getting over. All right. So that wraps up inside the squared circle. Uh, we're going to take ourselves outside the squared circle. This segment is sponsored by collar and elbow. You can use code chick at collar and elbow to get 10% off your order. Softest shirts in the game. Um, so make sure you take yourself over there. We, we love our friends over at collar and elbow. Um, outside the squared circle, looks like we're getting five more years with Ray Mysterio with King Mysterio.
Wrestling in Pop Culture and New Signings
00:49:40
Speaker
Um, so lots of six one nines in our future. Yeah. It was probably been done to, uh, to keep them out of AEW. You know, I don't know. I can't imagine that Ray's got five years left of in-ring action, but maybe they'll, you know, maybe another year or two of, of active competition, then he'll just come back for some special matches now and then. Yeah. He, yeah. He just came out and said, he, uh, he believes he has five more years left, uh, to wrestle. So.
00:50:06
Speaker
He looks good. He still wrestles really well. It's just like, to me, I just, I don't get hyped to see Rey Mysterio anymore. I'm just kind of like, you know, it is what it is. And I hate to say that because the man is a legend, you know, he's, he's amazing. I'm not taking anything away from his, from his accolades or anything like that, but I'm just, I'm ready to see new people and Rey ain't it.
00:50:27
Speaker
Yeah. Um, no, I'm a, I'm a regular stereo. I love, I love regular stereo. Um, I agree with you. He's kind of, he's, he's old, obviously. Um, he's not as agile as he used to be. You can still pull off some moves and stuff like that. But, um, I mean, you, you know what you know, you'll hang it up when you hang it up. That's.
00:50:45
Speaker
If you watch the Undertaker's docu-series, it's, you know, when it's your time and Raimi's series feels like it isn't his time to hang it up yet. So, and he wants to wrestle, he wants to be with his son. Well, like probably in the beginning stages of his son's wrestling career. So, like maybe he figures like five years is like the, is a point where like Dominic has it, now I can write off. He can let Dominic fly. Dominic will take the backpack off and be on his own. That's what I think. Maybe, maybe you accompany him to the ring and stuff like that.
00:51:14
Speaker
Be as I kind of like manager maybe get involved a little bit here or there Maybe they'll have a feud Hey, that's maybe that's will be a send-off his last match will be against Dominic to see was he the dominant Mysterio? male of the family, so Yeah, looking forward to that Awesome. I do have some bad news for you Marco Yeah, we have Wade Barrett is Oh commentary
00:51:43
Speaker
Why did I fall for that? What the hell? Such a mark. You're horrible. Yeah. We saw him tonight. I mean, he didn't do, he didn't do bad. It just kind of came out of left field. Like Wade Baird all of a sudden is on NXT commentary. So I mean, what I saw of him, he did a good job. He was doing commentary for NWA before they, they shut down shop for a little bit. Another job. I just.
00:52:04
Speaker
I wonder if this is step one on him coming back again. You know, that guy, it seemed like every time he started getting some momentum, he would always have some sort of injury, derail him, and then he got saddled with the whole King Barrett thing, which I kind of just, he was pretty much dead in the water from that point on, but I was a big fan of Bad News Barrett. I'd love to see him come back, especially with NXT UK coming back. I think he would be just a shoe in, you know? Could you imagine Wade Barrett comes back as a face to feud with Walter? I think they could put on some really awesome matches. Oh my God. Yeah, that'd be brutal. Yeah, that would be awesome.
00:52:34
Speaker
Um, we got news that John Cena, he, we posted that he is officially playing peacemaker in the suicide squad. This literally means nothing to me. I don't, I don't track on, on these types of things, but, um, any thoughts on this Marco? Yeah, I was, uh, I was kind of tweeted about this, uh, through the account. Um, so they, over the weekend, they did the, uh, DC fan dome.
00:52:54
Speaker
where they announce a bunch of stuff that's happening in the DC universe, as far as movies and things like that. John Cena's going to be the new Suicide Squad movie that's coming out. He's playing the Peacemaker. He's kind of like a vigilante, just to put it in short. He's kind of like a Punisher-type character. He looks kind of goofy, but he's legit. I saw the picture, yeah, it does look kind of goofy. He looks goofy, but he's legit, just like a killer. He just kills people with all the slightest notice, kind of like the Punishers and Marvel, so that's pretty cool.
00:53:22
Speaker
I kind of tweeted about the Batman trailer. I'm not sure if you guys see that at all. It looks really good. It's more of a detective approach. If you follow Batman, they have detective comics. And Batman is a detective. He does detective work. So this movie is geared towards his detective work more than anything. It has action, obviously, because it's Batman. But it's more of a drama-based type of movie. So it looks really good.
00:53:51
Speaker
Like Commissioner Gordon, as I forget his navies, he's also in the HBO show. What is it?
00:53:59
Speaker
Westworld. Westworld, yes. So yeah, that looks pretty good. I believe Colin Farrell's in it as well as the penguin. No one noticed it was him. He was full makeup in the trailer. But yeah, he's the penguin, Colin Farrell, which is kind of pretty sick. The Riddler, I believe, is a main protagonist in the movie. He looks insane. Did they bring Jim Carrey back?
00:54:23
Speaker
I mean, I mean, I'm not going to watch it if he isn't, if he isn't the real, it's very upsetting. But yeah, so it looks really good. So Chris Nolan is like my absolute favorite director, like anything he makes like I watch it. So I'm just I'm a big disciple of that series of Batman movies. I was kind of I'd said to myself, you know, pretty much done with Batman for the rest of my life after after they wrapped those up. But I watched the trailer and I'm definitely intrigued. It looks really good. You know, I was very skeptical when I heard that, you know, Rob Pattinson
00:54:52
Speaker
you know, better known as Edward Cullen from the Twilight series. But he looks like a badass, man. He does actually. He looks like that fight scene that it showed in the trailer looked pretty damn epic. So I think we're going to see a little bit more violence than we're used to in Batman movies. And definitely I'm intrigued to see how this new series is going to go.
00:55:14
Speaker
Yeah. So there was a lot more DC Phantom stuff. I'm not going to. Maybe we'll do like a Patreon exclusive comic book episode. But yeah, there was a lot of stuff. The Rock obviously announced his movie that's coming out in DC, Black Adam. Yeah. The Rock is getting superhero money now too.
00:55:31
Speaker
Yeah, he's good. That's he's he's John Cena and the rock need to be cash in any freaking DC like superhero checks. You know what I mean? The two the two biggest WWE stars are the two biggest. They're going to be the two biggest Hollywood stars. I mean, the rock already is. But John Cena is probably going to be the second. It's going to be like the Sylvester Stallone on a Schwarzenegger type.
00:55:51
Speaker
They don't know whether the two biggest like action stars in Hollywood. And then Roman Reigns is going to be the third because he's, he's getting his Hollywood face on. And obviously, uh, we have here Randy Orton had some issues. He took some shots, the big dog, um, called the big horse instead of the big dog. Uh, which is a little harsh, a little harsh. I think, I think his new teeth look nice. Seth thinks that they're like, he feels like it's like the most cartoonish chiclet thing he's ever seen. They do a little bit.
00:56:20
Speaker
To me, I get it, especially if he's going to Hollywood, you want to touch up the little flaws you might have if you're going to be on camera a lot, getting close ups, but I think he may overdo that. It was just such a dramatic change. I literally noticed it about the second time they did a close up on him. Instead of just being so hype about Roman coming back and what was going on, I was so distracted by this beautiful, hyper-white,
00:56:47
Speaker
set of teeth he had in his mouth that it kind of just took me out of the moment for a little bit. So more power to him. You know, I respect anything Roman's got going on. But yeah, he's definitely, you know, he's being bold with with this new teeth move. I guess I didn't really it didn't really bother me because I had watched that. He did an interview with R Truth and he already had his teeth. You know what I mean? So I had already seen them in action.
00:57:10
Speaker
So when he came on, you know, just wrestling, it didn't, it didn't bother me, you know, but it was, it was very noticeable when he was doing like his little interview with our truth, but, um, yeah, it didn't bother me. I think, I think he looks nice. I think we'll all adjust to it. And I do think it's probably something to like, to ease his way into Hollywood. You know, you gotta get those tweaks. I mean, look at the rock. The rock doesn't even look like the same guy that he did when he was at WWE. He's had so much facial reconstruction that it's like, it's like insane.
00:57:36
Speaker
Um, I guess that's what you gotta do to, to make it on the big screen. But, um, Shaquille O'Neal is going to bring his chacaroni to AEW. Um, and he wants to, he wants to wrestle Cody. I don't know why he would want to wrestle Cody because Cody doesn't even have any gold anymore. I think he called out Cody just cause Cody's probably the only guy in AEW that actually knows. You know, I think Cody was.
00:57:56
Speaker
the main guy that was attending all the big wig, like TNT meetings and stuff when they were setting up the deal. You know, Shaq's cool. I love Shaq. You know, as a kid in the 90s, you know, I was a huge Shaq fan when he was playing with the magic. So if you guys remember, he was at WrestleMania 32. He was in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal as one of the surprise entrants. And then they'd been hyped and kind of on and off all throughout 2016 and 2017 that he was going to fight the big show at,
00:58:25
Speaker
WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. I don't think they could ever get on the same page as far as the compensation goes or to make it work. But Shaq's definitely always had an interest in wrestling. So it definitely sounds like something TNT would do. They've already shown they want to bring in Mike Tyson. So I could see it happening. And I'm sure it'd be fun. Shaq's such a big dude that he'd be a natural in the ring. All you really have to do is stand there and Cody could bump off of him.
00:58:53
Speaker
I'm definitely intrigued to see this happen. Awesome. All right. Well, that wraps up outside the squared circle. So we're going to get into everyone's favorite segment
Go Figure Segment and Collectibles Discussion
00:59:04
Speaker
here. We're going to get into our go figure segment.
00:59:20
Speaker
All right, guys, this is our go figure segment. This segment is sponsored by ringside collectibles. You can use code chick fully to get 10% off your order. So many awesome things.
00:59:30
Speaker
up there for pre-order right now. But in Ringside Collectibles news, they are releasing, or they've already released, oh no, they're soon to be released, AEW Defender Cases. So if you want to keep, if you are MOC and you want to keep your AEW unrivaled boxes in pristine condition, you can get the Ringside Collectibles AEW Defender Cases. Also, May Young is up for pre-order. We definitely pre-ordered ours. Marco, are you going to be getting that figure?
01:00:01
Speaker
Yeah, so definitely along with her kids too, because her kids are in that. Her kids got two figures. That was kind of weird that they gave him two figures. He got two different head scans. Yeah, it's like the edge heads. You get two extra, it's like a three and one figure almost. Exactly. Yeah, that one over really huge on Twitter when I posted that, the VM pre-order. A lot of people love the
01:00:27
Speaker
They're like, wait, wait, what? Oh, I get it. Oh, I get it. I mean, if you had to, it's one of those you had to have been there type of type of jokes. It really makes you feel old when you make those kind of jokes and people are like, what? How sad is it that Mae Young had this, you know, legendary career, you know, her and Mula, the two really pioneers of women's wrestling, you know, not even just in America, just worldwide. And what she's known for is this stupid, stupid skit on Raw where she gave birth to a hand. Yeah.
01:00:55
Speaker
It's ridiculous. We do also have Elite Series 81, which is The Rock, Stunning Steve Austin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bianca Belair, and The Street Profits is up for pre-order. And then we have Basic Series 114 and 115. So 114 is Rhea Ripley, Shorty G, we got a Kofi Kingston, Ricochet, and a Fiend, a Basic Fiend Bray Wyatt. And that should be interesting.
01:01:24
Speaker
And then 115, we have Tegan Knox, Becky Lynch, Humberto Carrillo, Braun Strowman, and Big E. So those are all available for pre-order at Ringside. Make sure you use code Chick Foley when you do your pre-orders. And the UFC figures are in stock and ready for you to purchase over at Ringside.
01:01:42
Speaker
Yeah, the only, uh, the only one they don't have is the Donald Cerrone. He's the, uh, he's a chase. They only have the chase available. Uh, the, his, his, uh, regular version is not available on rig side, but, uh, not much of a chase, huh? Yeah, no, not, I mean, that's a, people are just like, yeah, I'm going to buy the, I'd rather buy the chase over then.
01:02:01
Speaker
and he comes with the white shorts, same thing with the cowboy hat and everything. Those figures are actually really cool. I'm not sure if, I mean, they're not to scale with the current figures, somebody that are a little bit smaller, but Jesse, I did have those current badasses of the UFC as figures. Aren't they gonna do?
01:02:20
Speaker
Aren't they going to do future releases in scale with Mattel? Yeah. Basically, the story is that Jeremy just came on to Jazzwares, I think either right before or shortly after they got the AEW license. He didn't have anything to do with this first UFC series. It was already in work, but now he's in charge of it and they're going to be in scale with the AEW figures, which means they're going to be extremely close to in scale.
01:02:46
Speaker
with, with elites. So yeah, that'd be awesome. Cause yeah, you definitely, you know, I had no problem throwing a Connor in, uh, or, you know, it could be, um, some of the guys that Daniel Cormier throwing those in with, uh, with some of my wrestling figures on the display and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I said our, our Ronda Rouse is going to be shaking in her boots when we get Amanda Nunez and up in there. Going back to the, uh, the ringside pre-orders, I think the, uh, you know, the most noteworthy figure that they put up there is the stunning Steve Austin. That's been a request for a long time, but.
01:03:15
Speaker
Um,
01:03:16
Speaker
huge caveat on that. To me, that figure is worthless if we don't get Brian Pillman from the Hollywood Blondes. I'm not sure what his current status is if he's still on a Legends deal or not. But I'm going to be very frustrated if he doesn't get revealed very shortly that he's going to be released. So if not, I'll be hitting my buddy, the Mad Reaper, to crank us out of Brian Pillman. Because you got to have it. You can't have one without the other. I'm a huge fan of the Hollywood Blondes. I love those guys. I think they were a little bit ahead of their time.
01:03:46
Speaker
They're in the early 90s in WCW and that'd be a great addition to the collection having them as a tag team.
01:03:52
Speaker
True, but we kind of talked about this with the Bulldogs too. He had mentioned that you have to get these stars out while you have them on their deals because you never know what can happen with these Legends deals. And if you're waiting around to have both of them at the same time, you could lose both or you could lose one. So you may as well make the figure and then if we can get the other tag team, it's usually for tag teams, if we can get the other tag team,
01:04:17
Speaker
Partner at some point in time like great, but you know why wait if you can put out one, right? I'm throwing the challenge flag on the field WWE just had their most profitable quarter in company history shell out the You know, I've heard these legends deals are for pennies Do what you got to do give Mattel the money they need to make this happen We we figure collectors need this because I'm telling you it's gonna bug me to death from the moment I get that stunning Steve Austin figure until I have the Brian Pillman like it's gonna keep me up at night not having a
01:04:44
Speaker
but it's not just it's not just Mattel and you know they gotta isn't it like they have to deal with the families and stuff too like whoever has like the cut the check yeah i guess so i don't know
01:04:57
Speaker
Oh, also, we got some Funko reveals this week, which was super, super exciting. You don't collect WWE Funkos, do you, Marco? I have some. I actually have a few of them displayed. They're still in box. I don't take them out. I don't know why. I think there's Funkos for me. The packaging is, I don't know, stackable and stuff like that.
01:05:18
Speaker
I have a few. I have like the John Cena, you can't see me one. I have the gold rock. That was the SmackDown anniversary one. Undertaker, Charlotte. I have not WWE but Cody and Katie Omega.
01:05:37
Speaker
that type of stuff. It's hard to slaughter I have as well. I have some of a collection because I actually like those ones there, but I'm definitely very interested in the Mr. T and Hulk Hogan two-pack, the Amazon exclusive. I pre-ordered that on Amazon. It was up. I don't know if it's up.
01:05:55
Speaker
I did pre-order the Mr. T and Hulk Hogan two-pack. It's an Amazon exclusive. We do have a rock and a macho man, like space cowboy macho man coming, which is super, super exciting. And then there is an individual Mr. T that is coming as well. So Mr. T is having his best year in 2020.
01:06:12
Speaker
Everyone doubted Mr. T with the SDCC exclusive. They were just like, oh, why would they do Mr. T? All this, now he's just like most, probably one of the most sought after figures this year so far, especially with the new two pack that's coming out with him and Roddy Piper. That's probably going to be pretty popular as well. I know a lot of people say like, oh, they're not going to be able to top last year with a Slim Jim Macho bid, but
01:06:34
Speaker
Mr. T is as much of a figure in WWE as a lot of those celebrities and a lot of those pretty much wrestlers are. He actually did WrestleMania with Hulk Hogan. Yeah, he made WrestleMania.
01:06:46
Speaker
Yeah, so if anyone out of that like WWE's history that was long overdue for a type of figure, it's definitely Mr. T. I mean, they should probably make an Ultimate. I wouldn't be surprised if they could want the Mr. T Ultimate at some point with a bunch of cooler accessories. I'll probably hit up Bill on Twitter and see if he's gay for a UE Mr. T.
01:07:11
Speaker
Speaking of Mr. T, really quickly, I do want to add that our buddy, our awesome buddy in the Facebook group, Alan Day, is doing the best giveaway that we've done in our entire history of the Chick Foley show. He's hosting this giveaway. It is for charity. He is donating everything to the Gary Sinise Foundation. It helps military and veteran families.
01:07:36
Speaker
Um, if you are in our Facebook group, we're going to see if we can open it up to Instagram because we do want it to, you know, obviously to donate as much to charity as possible. But if not, you definitely want to get in on this by joining our Facebook group. You can go to chick Foley show.com and get started and get enrolled there. Um, but I mean, he is giving away like, like there's like 10 different prizes and our buddy Mike is actually throwing in a Mr. T, um,
01:08:01
Speaker
elite figure into the mix. So you have an opportunity to win that as well. And entries are only a dollar. And like I said, all of the money is going to go to the Gary Sinise Foundation.

Get signed up and participate in this giveaway because it's for a great cause. And Alan Day is really like
01:08:24
Speaker
He's really putting it, put it all out there by giving us some awesome figures to give away. So, and then Mike Lanham again is donating the Mr. T. So if you don't have that, get in there. It's worth your dollar to at least have a chance to win the Mr. T. All right. And then we have the WWE elite Royal Rumble series. It will be continuing in the next year and we can expect to see them revealed soon. So.
01:08:47
Speaker
Yeah. Well, who do you think it's going to be, Marco? Any speculations? Let me see. Who's the last round? It was Lita, the rock. Bobby Lashley, macho man, and the rock. That's kind of, I don't even know.
01:09:02
Speaker
So 1994 Royal Rumble, Bret Hart has been one of my most wanted figures for a long time. You know, that's from earlier in the night. He, you know, got his leg kicked out of his leg by and then he and then he came back to win the or to tie for the win in the Rumble with Lex Luger that night. So that that would be cool. I don't really know what else they can do. You know, they've done. Damn everybody. They can do Shawn Michaels for me. The one of the world will seize one. Shawn Michaels always makes a great figure. Yeah.
01:09:31
Speaker
I was going to say like a stone cold, but stone cold, stone cold, and it's not... Those figures pretty much all look the same. I'm not sure how you can make it look different, but maybe like, that'd be pretty cool if they focus on the actual Royal Rumble matches and like you said, just do like a Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, like the winners of the Royal Rumble. That'd be pretty cool if they...
01:09:52
Speaker
did that type of thing. Maybe, obviously, John Cena, Triple H. But they usually go with the obscure type of one. So they had like the Bobby Lashley with the belt or any of the ECW title. Was that further wearable? Was that it? Yeah. I think that was from like when he defended that belt at like the 2006, or 2007, or something. Yeah. Definitely a pretty obscure selection.
01:10:14
Speaker
Yeah, I'm assuming maybe, I mean, it'd be pretty cool if they did like a Drew McIntyre from last year's Royal Rumble. Oh no, this year's Royal Rumble, geez. This year has been going on forever. But yeah, just to commemorate that, I mean, pretty awesome, because that was probably one of the best Royal Rumbles in recent memory.
01:10:32
Speaker
And I know we don't, we don't have enough Seth figures. So if we want to get a Seth from Royal Rumble too, that would be also true. Yeah. We definitely need a Seth Rollins and maybe even a Nia Jax. She, uh, heard showing up at the Royal Rumble and taking a super kick RKO and a six one nine, six one nine. That'd be pretty cool to commemorate her, uh, her appearance of the Royal Rumble. So that would be cool.
01:10:57
Speaker
Yeah. All right. We're going to move on to weekly purchases. Marco, what did you pick up this week? Oh boy. So, uh, let's see. Um, got the, uh, the, the ultimate warrior, uh, gift box, uh, that the WWE legend shop that they recently opened up. So, uh, WWE shop opened up a separate website, uh, for legends apparel. So all your favorite legends are they have their own separate website. Now you can go see that their shirts aren't into mingled with the,
01:11:25
Speaker
the current roster or anything like that. It looks like the Warrior was the start of that, and I believe Macho Man might be the next one. That's going to be awesome. It is really cool. Dana Warrior actually did an unboxing of it. I saw that, yeah. Some really cool memorabilia. There's a piece of the ringmat with Ultra Warrior's
01:11:47
Speaker
face paint embroidered on it. There's a there's like a little almost looks like a belt buckle of the intercontinental title. The actual box itself is like is awesome like the artwork inside the box. Yeah, you got to keep that box that box is made. Have you have you already opened yours?
01:12:04
Speaker
I haven't opened it yet. No, I was actually replacing all my so we bought new car seats because all the girls are getting huge. So we have to change out the car seat. So I'm like putting in the car seats and I see like the FedEx truck pull ups pull up and I'm like, Oh, the Sunday is so weird. He's like, hey, what's going on? And he drops a box and like I walk over like WWE legends. I was like, I was like, I just it was literally ordered on Friday.
01:12:30
Speaker
It was like maybe Thursday or Friday. I was like, that was really fast. But yeah, so that was pretty exciting. I saw there's a figure that comes in. Is that like a micro brawler or what kind of figure is that? Yeah, kind of like a micro brawler but not really a micro brawler. WWE has their own version of the micro brawler and I knew it was like some kind of like
01:12:50
Speaker
where they going on with that, but I actually did get the new pro wrestling create for this for August as well. What was the theme for this month? It was kind of scattered. It was Sergeant Slaughter, Matt Hardy, Cole Cabana.
01:13:05
Speaker
Walter and I'm forgetting someone. That's random. Walter was an autograph of Walter. It was actually the picture of him. He has that guy over the ropes and he's planted his fists into that dude's chest and you see the outline of his basically skin going around. It was pretty cool. The coca bin is a pen.
01:13:26
Speaker
which is pretty sick. Oh, Honky Tonk Man was the micro brawler actually in it, which is pretty cool. So it was a Honky Tonk Man micro brawler. People love those damn micro brawlers. We never got into those, but people are so into those. Yeah, but my son wants me, every time I open one up, he's like, oh, he wants me to open it. I'm like, I'm not sure if I should open. Because I have the Matt Cardone and the Brian Myers ones. Yeah. He's just like, oh, he's like, we got to open it. I'm like, nah, I'm not sure if we can open these yet. Poor kid. Poor kid.
01:13:55
Speaker
He just sees like cool little cartoon character. Toys, man, they're toys. But I might just let him do it. But anyway, the other one was a grail thing. I've been like teasing for like the past like two weeks. Yeah, I feel like it's been a month that I've been hearing about this grail. So it better be pretty good. I'm going to give you the first part of the grail. So this is, it's pretty big. Let me back up a little bit. It's kind of like a carrying thing. So I'll show you this. Let me see if you guys can guess what this is.
01:14:25
Speaker
Do you see it? Is it? I have no idea what that is. Something for turtles. Yeah. So it's the so it's basically the SDCC bag that they used where they had the the SDCC exclusive turtles. Yes. So it's like it's a huge bag. It's it's basically the channel, the news channel channel three.
01:14:47
Speaker
with the foot soldier graffiti on it but then along with it came these which i've never had in my collection before oh this guy here so like so the movie turtles here that's so awesome yes so for those of you can't see obviously he's showing us the sdcc pack up of the of the movie turtles we got we had the movie turtles but we got them all individually like they repacked them after obviously after sdcc
01:15:13
Speaker
but yeah that that four-pack is really freaking dope. The second part of the grill is zest right here too. This is the second part of the grill. Oh that is so sick yes. We have that. It's not like a capture of splinter I think is it right?
01:15:29
Speaker
Yeah that splinter figure is just incredible. Yeah the splinter the detail on that is just insane. Yeah let's see how the the movie turtles are those I think I said this like a while back like when I first like when I was on the show and I first started on the show that I wanted to get into like the turtles yes I remember turtles anyway but um
01:15:46
Speaker
There's there's another one which I probably will never get but I definitely want to see the spirit the split of the spirit of Yeah, it was like a wrestle. I'm not a wrestle crate. It was like a loot crate. Yeah Yeah, they just actually did a recent. They recently did a turtle one. I think Tom actually
01:16:02
Speaker
for the running pot. He actually did a video on the new YouTube channel. Actually go check it out. He did a loot crate unboxing of the, the turtles when it comes to like a shredder and some other cool stuff. So yeah, definitely take a look at that. But yeah, I've been sought after these for a while. So I got the Casey Jones and the Raphael two pack last week.
01:16:23
Speaker
That's pretty much it other than the UFC thing. So yeah, I'm super stoked to get these. It's a huge turtles fan. Yeah. Seth and I were talking about how they need to just start selling like, you know, two and four packs of like just foot soldiers, you know, all the fig photographers and everything. Like you need like a lot of like foot soldiers, you know, yeah, you need like an arm and something like stormtroopers, you know, like I always thought black series would, would be really good if they just actually packed up a bunch of stormtroopers.
01:16:48
Speaker
together for you to purchase so you can actually just create an army. Not that we need them. We don't do that much photography with our turtles. They're just display pieces. But for all those people out there that do some awesome, awesome stuff, it would be an easy way to get it for more of a value than buying everything individually. What did we pick up this week, Seth?
01:17:08
Speaker
So definitely can't match Marco. Yeah, he came in with some big boy purchases. That was some heavy hitting stuff. For figure wise, it was actually a pretty light week. The only thing we got was actually I bought him a while back, but I really, you know, we didn't want to share him with anybody until they were complete. So I scored some some random Steiner Brothers elites off of eBay.
01:17:30
Speaker
And, but they didn't come with the Michigan Letterman jackets, you know, and if you got the classic Steiner brothers team, you got to have the Michigan jacket. So I actually had started off hitting up Ralph's figure clothing, which is out of the Philippines. They're, you know, custom figure shirts off of Instagram. They're like my go to guy for just t shirts and stuff. But I always go to Ralph's, which is a company out of the Philippines that makes incredible
01:17:53
Speaker
clothing for your figures you know they made a few different jackets for me they made jackets for my brain busters they made a chalk line jacket for an ultimate warrior figure that we have and I hit them up but I guess because of Covid the Philippines aren't shipping to the United States right now so
01:18:09
Speaker
back to go with the backup. Eminem figure clothing actually stepped up and said, yeah, I can do it for you. And he did an outstanding job. So can't recommend him enough. You know, the stitching on it's awesome. Like, you know, Sheena posted a picture on the account, but they look really good. And I'm just happy to have the Steiner's now. No, Scott Steiner's, I got a lot of bad blood would do to be so I don't see him.
01:18:30
Speaker
Signing any kind of deal with them in the future, but I had to have them as a team in the figure collection They were just such an important tag team back in the day. So I got those That was really it figure wise other than that, you know, we had our normal huge chalk line haul got a Becky Lynch shirt from chalk line then we got the the raw is war shorts the WCW NWO revenge shorts and
01:18:52
Speaker
and the SpongeBob shorts, which were pretty cool because they actually came in a little pouch that looks like the the SpongeBob popsicle box. So hopefully ChalkLine keeps staying. You know, if they keep doing creative stuff like that with the packaging, they're going to put even more of a hurting on my wallet than they already do. But we love those guys at ChalkLine. They've always been huge supporters of Sheena and they take good care of us over there. So, you know, support ChalkLine.
01:19:19
Speaker
Yeah. And I've, I've said this on the show before, but like they have a big presence, but they really are like a small company. Like it's literally just like a handful of dudes like pumping all this like creative, amazing stuff out. Like, you know, it feels like they're so big because in the wrestling world, like there's like literally chalk line, uh, everybody's wearing chalk line. All the freaking superstars are wearing chalk lines. Um, but they really are like a, a small operation. So definitely support those guys over there. We love them. Um,
01:19:46
Speaker
All right. Is that it? I feel like we, is that all we had this week? That's it. Wrestling purchases and a lot of sneakers coming in, but I don't think the listeners are interested in that kind of stuff. All right. Um, cool. So we will, oh, speaking of, before we move off of our go figure segment.
01:20:02
Speaker
Can we please talk about for a moment, uh, Seth Rollins is ring gear and how we need that as an elite, like ASAP. Not that I can like tag because I'm like, maybe you can tag him on Twitter because I'm, I'm blocked on Instagram obviously, but he wore the Halloween havoc gear from, um, from Ray Mysterio. Like he like reinvented it and put his little jacket over it. It looked so freaking awesome. So if you guys didn't see his gear this weekend, it was super mage. And I hope we get a figure of that in the near future.
01:20:31
Speaker
Yeah, it was a huge... I tweeted that out Saturday. That was probably the biggest tweet I had over the weekend. A lot of people are... They definitely... Because I said, oh, can we get a two pack of Seth Rollins and Ray Mysterio and their respective gears and stuff like that? And a lot of people are...
01:20:49
Speaker
We had Agreeance, they definitely would want to see something like that. An Elite two-pack, I said, not a basic two-pack. Yeah, we posted it on the Instagram and that it blew up. It was like everybody is on board for that. Even people who aren't figure collectors are like... The Ray already exists, man. We got that Ray in Elite 67 last year. They've already shown that they can execute that color scheme and stuff, so at least need to make it happen because that was definitely a very awesome choice of green gear by Seth.
01:21:15
Speaker
Yeah. I'm going to give Ray Mysterio props on that too. They probably collaborated on that. Obviously, Seth probably had to ask like, hey, is it okay if I replicate your iconic
01:21:28
Speaker
Seth Rollins shouldn't have to ask permission. He literally put Dominik on the map. He let Dominik come in with that. You know what I mean? It's not every true. Out of respect for Rey, but I mean literally Seth Rollins, the biggest star in the company is wrestling a newcomer, Dominik at SummerSlam. Hey, another quick plug for the younger listeners out there. The ring gear in question that Seth was mocking for Rey's
01:21:55
Speaker
halloween habit 1997, uh, Ray Mysterio versus Eddie Guerrero for the WCD championship. Go watch it. I think you guys have had it for a retro wrestling before, but it is without a shadow of a doubt. One of the, uh, best wrestling matches that, uh, you could ever go and watch for as far as cruiserweight style goes, it sets the bar. It's definitely the best cruiserweight match ever. So if you haven't seen it yet, get on WWE network and go watch that right now.
01:22:19
Speaker
Awesome.
Quarantine and Chill Activities
01:22:20
Speaker
All right. We are going to head into our quarantine and chill segment. This segment is sponsored by homage. Our friends over there, you can use code chick for 20% off your order. Um, this segment, we kind of just kind of go off the cuff and let you guys know some non-wrestling things that you can do to, to waste your time during, uh, you know, during the COVID era, when you have a lot more time at home, um, you know, maybe you're working from home and you want some pods in the background or, you know, you, you're not going out to the movies. So maybe you need something to watch.
01:22:47
Speaker
in the evening some Netflix and chill so we have some quarantine and chill. What is your quarantine and chill suggestion Seth? What do the people need to be watching? So mine is still wrestling related, alright? Just because I'm obsessed with wrestling is what I like to do and it's fun. So I would check out the Game Marks podcast. It started about a year ago but basically they just pick a different wrestling video game every week and just do a deep dive into it.
01:23:10
Speaker
It's just, you know, for people who have been watching this stuff and enjoy playing the video games stuff for a long time. It's just a huge nostalgia trip. I'm going to take a look at all the different games. They started back the games from the early 80s all the way up to the newest stuff. A ton of fun to easy listen and I definitely recommend checking it out.
01:23:30
Speaker
Awesome. What about you, Marco? What should the people be listening, watching, reading? It's going to sound weird. Maybe not. Carmella and Corey Gray actually have a podcast together called Bear With Us. Did not know that. That is news to me. It's really entertaining. Obviously, there are couples, so their banter is really good. It just started, so you have to
01:23:58
Speaker
like access like a deep catalog of their shows, something like that. I really enjoyed, I really enjoyed, I really enjoyed his podcast through the After the Bell podcast that he has with the WWE podcast and network there. The only other thing that I would recommend watching is definitely the WWE 24 WrestleMania, the show must go on. Have you guys watched that yet?
01:24:19
Speaker
No, yeah, it's definitely peaked my interest. I'm like super excited to see like kind of how it all unfolded, you know, at the last minute, because as we all know, like WWE was like hanging on to the very last moment, like they were not going to, they were not going to give it up. So I'm curious to see how it all kind of just like came to a head and they decided that like they were not going to.
01:24:37
Speaker
going to shut it down. Yeah, so yeah, they, they, it's a lot of interviews that obviously with everyone involved, Triple H included, obviously Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, kind of like the focus of, of the show. You know, Drew talks about, you know, him winning the title during it, like,
01:24:54
Speaker
have pointed at the camera and doing the thank you thing. He's like, that was completely off the cuff. Wasn't expected to do that type of stuff. And then the main attraction of it, you probably, if you haven't seen it on social media yet, it's been
Vince McMahon's Hands-On Leadership
01:25:06
Speaker
out there. The clip has it floating around. Vince McMahon showing Grunk how to fall off the platform. Did you guys see that video yet? No. Yeah, I saw that. Pretty cool.
01:25:15
Speaker
So yeah, so 75-year-old now, 75-year-old Vince McMahon is growing scared to jump off the, remember that platform that, what do you call it, Elias fell off of? Yes. Well, Corbin threw him off of. So it's the same platform and, you know, Gronk's having second thoughts and he doesn't want to do it. He's just like, I don't know if I can do that. Vince McMahon's like up there like, hey, there's nothing you got to do. He just climbs over the railing. It just falls off.
01:25:44
Speaker
75-year-old Vince on the edge just drops to the pad. Everyone's just praising him. He's 75 years old. He's a billionaire. He doesn't have to do anything like that, but that's the type of person he is. If you've probably heard that thing about Vince McMahon, he never tells you to do anything that he wouldn't do.
01:26:02
Speaker
and he showed you right there. Especially if you watch the Attitude Hour, he's taking chair shots to the head, bedcates to the head. He's taking stink bases from Rikishi and stuff, so I'm really complaining when the bosses and all this stuff. It's really awesome just to see all the stuff that you hear about Vitsikman.
01:26:21
Speaker
He's out of touch. He doesn't know what's going on, that type of stuff. I would probably say he's very much in touch with what's going on in wrestling more than probably what most people think. That guy lives, breathes, and sleeps wrestling. He doesn't really sleep from what I've read. Just seeing him do that, that brings me back a little bit.
01:26:40
Speaker
I don't even think he's real anymore. I think it's like a weekend at Bernie's situation we got going on. He's like a puppet. I think he's like a robo-vince. They just like wheel him out there and he's like, beep, boop, beep, boop. He jumped right back up too. He did the drop. He fell off the platform and no one helped him up. He rolled off the pad and got of himself.
01:26:58
Speaker
It was pretty amazing to watch it. Like I said, it just brings you back to why you're a fan of wrestling and him. Just seeing him do that type of stuff because he's not doing it anymore. It's like, oh my God, he actually really is showing someone, hey, you can do this. If I can do this, I'm a 75-year-old guy. Anyone can do this.
01:27:17
Speaker
yeah it was pretty cool yeah definitely watch it it's a really good show and it makes you feel for like that whole that whole part that whole time of like WrestleMania being uncertain and the whole like they bring up to the hype of like oh it's gonna be this big stadium and it's gonna be an open roof and yeah it's gonna be this big atmosphere and the biggest greatest stage and then
01:27:36
Speaker
everything just shut down. I really wish we could have at least seen what it would have been like with like the pirate ship and like what they would have cooked up as far as like the atmosphere in Tampa. But you know, we'll never know. But I am excited to watch that 24. I was going to suggest the other day we signed into Netflix and there was a new show called High Score. And it's all about like the history of like your favorite video games. So it's like, you know, The Rise of Nintendo talks about Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat,
01:28:01
Speaker
Um, you know how, how like Sonic kind of helped launch Sega Genesis, um, and all of that. So yeah, it's called a high score and it's new on Netflix. So I haven't got to check it out yet, but I did see like the trailer of it the other day when I got on. So that is, that is my quarantine and chill recommendation. Um, so I'm going to let the heel husband take this one. Um, we do have some random merch of the week to talk about and the heel husband has a
01:28:29
Speaker
Has a story to share with you guys. So take it away, your husband. Yeah. So for Random Merch of the Week, so this has actually caused a lot of drama and controversy around the Phelps household this week. So back in like 2015,
01:28:45
Speaker
Sheena got into this collection that WWE was selling on a WWE shop. It's these tiny statues of wrestling figures imagined as zombies. They're really kind of in the style of lawn gnomes. Yeah, they're like resin statues, and they're by a company called Forever Collectibles. Yeah, they're really, really nice. They all kind of got unique touches and everything.
01:29:10
Speaker
Sheena bought over a dozen of them. And I kind of just was only kind of half-assed paying attention to this, because Sheena's just obsessed with Halloween. So I was like, all right, just some more Halloween stuff. Sheena's getting cool. And since then, my OCD, as far as collecting, has only gotten worse over the last couple of years. And she started digging these out again. Granted, I've had these for five years, over five years at this point.
01:29:38
Speaker
Yeah, and I had known before that she had passed on getting the why it's because they were only selling the why it's is a three packs is the original white family Luke Harper Bray Wyatt and Eric Rowan so she passed on them as a three pack because they were almost you know
01:29:51
Speaker
I don't know why. I guess you just, so here's the deal. I love to collect things, but I'm also, I'm also semi semi frugal. Like you may not, yeah, you may not know that about me, but like I'm tight with a dollar. You know what I mean? Like, I don't just like, like to spend frivolously. Um, and so the, when I bought the other zombie figures, they were all on sale.
01:30:10
Speaker
Okay, so they were all like part of a sale that WWE was having, but for some reason, the Wyatt three pack was not a part of that sale. They were the same, the same line of figures, the same thing, but they were selling all three together and they weren't a part of that sale. So in my mind, I'm thinking like, I'll just wait till they go on sale. You know what I mean? Like everything in WWE shop goes on sale, but then it just kind of like fell off the radar, I guess. So.
01:30:33
Speaker
So yeah, so it, uh, so I had never, I only kind of halfway paid attention to it. I knew she had passed on the, on the wides though. And then they sold out there. It'll just always annoyed me. Like, you know, we have this almost perfect collection.
01:30:44
Speaker
of zombies, except for these three. And it was just such, you know, no fencing, but it was just such a dumb reason to pass. Especially like it's like you're going to buy 15 tiny zombie WWE statues and then pass on the last three because they're too expensive. You know, so that always annoyed me. And I've kind of just forgotten about it. But then she dug them out again because we kind of been doing a little bit of downsizing and stuff, selling a bunch of old stuff.
01:31:11
Speaker
and it really bugged me again, so I got to looking at it, and I realized how hard these things were to find. The last Eric Rowland that sold was in 2016, so this isn't something that you can just hop on eBay and find. I don't think it's so much that- Very niche product, I don't know. Yeah, he sold for 25 bucks, so it's not that it's so expensive, but there's just not very many of them. I think the people that got them, either probably got them and broke them or forgot about them,
01:31:40
Speaker
You know, they just really want them and they're keeping them. So, and then I got to digging and found out there was even more that she doesn't have, you know, so there was also a CM pump, which we had to order to AJ Lee, which we got to order. There's a Hulk Hogan, which is awesome. You know, it's really similar to the Mattel Hogan zombies figure.
01:31:56
Speaker
That one hasn't been seen on eBay in like three years. So we're on the hunt now for a Hulk Hogan, Eric Rowan, Bray Wyatt. And I think that's it. That's it. That's the three that we need right now. And we'll have them all. But that's as far as I know. I've been doing some research on it and finding all these ones we're missing. And it's just really frustrating because we could have this perfect collection of these stupid little lawn gnome zombies. And we don't.
01:32:20
Speaker
I've told Sheena I've been as frustrated with this as I have been with anything in the 17 years we've been together. That's how angry I am because it's scratching my collector itch. It's taking off my OCD. I just don't know why you wouldn't go ahead and complete the set because they are really cool. The more I'm paying attention to them, I'm seeing all the detail on them.
01:32:43
Speaker
craftsmanship like they are some really awesome little statues and I just want the whole set you know I'm thinking how cool it's going to be when you know October rolls around we get these things on display but I told her you know I got you know half of mine to just go ahead and sell off the whole thing if we're not going to complete this so I haven't made my mind up yet I'm thinking maybe Halloween 2021 if we can't complete the collection by then we're just going to sell off all what we have because
01:33:06
Speaker
Why do you get to decide if we sell off the zombies? I'm in charge of collecting it. We're just, you know, we're not going to have this whole collection with like three missing. So on the off chance and anybody is listening, if you have a Eric Rowan, Bray Wyatt, or Hulk Hogan forever collectibles, a zombie statue hit us up. We, you know, we stay PayPal ready.
01:33:25
Speaker
And we'll open up the bag to make it happen to complete this collection because these things are really cool. If you go on eBay and just search WWE forever collectibles there's some cool pieces you know I've been learning about it looks like these guys specialize in. They make a lot of bobbleheads and you know just similar to this like little like you know seven to eight inch resin statues.
01:33:44
Speaker
So a lot of cool merch out there, a cool little company. I'm not sure if they're still doing stuff for WWE, but there is a lot of stuff on eBay that they've done. And the zombies are definitely cool. So I'm looking forward to getting these on display and hopefully we can complete the collection here in the near future.
01:33:59
Speaker
This is this has been five years like I literally pulled these out and every Halloween for five years and it's just now a problem I've always knew about the Wyatt's but I didn't but now the fact that you know We're finding these Hogan seeing punks that existed and stuff like that's that's what's really got me
01:34:18
Speaker
Well, the CM Punk and the AJ Lee came out before I even started collecting them. They came out the year before, so they weren't even an option to purchase, but yeah, I guess I could have went on eBay and got them, but it just, that's just not, I don't know, you know, I was always in like that.
01:34:31
Speaker
So I remember on the major bros, they actually have a Zack Ryder one. Did you guys hear that episode again? So they made a cut. They were on WWE Shop as well. It wasn't a zombie one. It was just a regular Zack Ryder's long dome. Zack Ryder has some seriously random merch.
01:34:49
Speaker
Yeah, so I guess someone was bidding on it. And it went for like an astronomical amount of money. Someone purchased one. So they talked about that. But then the next week, they did the next show. They're like, yeah, there was another one that popped up.
01:35:05
Speaker
Zach Ryan, a lawn gnome that someone found and put up for bid on eBay. So like those things are actually out there. There's this other WWE shop had these other lawn gnomes just going around. They're just not showing up on eBay. I'll have to check. Yeah, because I think it's just it's just such an obscure piece. It's not something that you would think that people would like collect, I guess. They definitely weren't mass produced.
01:35:27
Speaker
Yeah, no, definitely not. No. Only two that I've known so far of Zack Ryder. But yeah, that's that's a I mean, it's cool because it's Halloween as well. So there's zombie zombie versions of your suit. WWF Superstar. You know what else really you know what else really chaps my ass about it. So this was like this was in 2015 when I bought these, you know, obviously right as like Seth Rollins is having his like, you know, his freaking rise.
01:35:53
Speaker
to becoming the Seth Rollins that we know and love today. But they, so they made a Dean Ambrose zombie. They made a Roman Reign zombie, but they never made Seth
WrestleMania 31 Retrospective
01:36:03
Speaker
Rollins. So I have two out of the three members of the show. They did not make a Seth Rollins. Like what the freaking hell, you know, like how cool would it have been to have the shield zombies? I'll post a picture of these, all of these guys on the, on Instagram. So you guys can see, I posted a picture of the Luke Harper.
01:36:18
Speaker
today. But just so you guys can see all the different details and all the different figures. And we have Stone Cold Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, Kane, Triple H, Paige. So yeah, it's like a whole, it's a whole thing. Undertaker. Yep. All right. So that is random merch. Hopefully our marriage survives this random merch situation. It's definitely, it's definitely rocky over here.
01:36:47
Speaker
But we're going to jump right into our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. Yes, we decided.
01:37:06
Speaker
I totally forgot about the theme music. Anyway, so we decided on the, uh, we're up with the production value. So, so we decided on the, uh, so since the return of Roman Reigns, obviously, uh, we wanted to pick a match that, uh, a really good Roman Reigns, but he has a lot of really good matches. Uh, but one that sticks out the most was, uh, WrestleMania 31, uh, and his match against, uh, Brock Lesnar.
01:37:28
Speaker
Um, the match itself was really, really, uh, I mean, it was awesome. It was, it was, it was basically, if you hear the story behind it, uh, Paul Haven talks about it, where, um, they basically wanted Broncos to just basically just kick the crap out of Roman Reigns, the whole match, uh, just make him look kind of like how we did with our John Cena, just take him to suplex city and, uh, give the fans what they want.
01:37:51
Speaker
And Roman Reigns, his rebuttal was like that. He did an interview and he was like, yeah, that wasn't happening. He was like, if Brock Lesnar hits me, I'm hitting him back, that type of thing. So obviously, the two men, like real men. So if someone's going to haul off and hit somebody, it's
01:38:10
Speaker
They're just going to go at it. That's what Roman's attitude was towards that. If Brock did get out of line, essentially, or either one of them got out of line. But it ended up being a really good match. I think he did bust Roman open on that match, right? Oh. No, Roman busted Brock open. That's right. OK, yeah. That's right. Yeah. So he did. That's where the winds started to change. Yeah.
01:38:35
Speaker
Yeah, he didn't say something. He said he did say if Brock took Liberty, that he was going to take Liberty himself. Obviously, he knows who Brock Lesnar is. He knows what type of athlete he is, but he's not going to let anyone show him up at all. So if that was a game plan of just Brock coming in there and just kicking the crap out of me, I'm just
01:38:54
Speaker
do it back. They made out for a great match and obviously we know what happens at the end, the first ever Money in the Bank cash-in on a Wrestle Media stage. Seth Rollins comes in like a burglar of the night.
01:39:11
Speaker
We were there in the house, you know, obviously we were there to cheer for Seth Rollins. Um, he lost to Randy Orton earlier in the night. So we were all salty, like son of a, you know, he lost with the greatest RKO of all time. Yeah, that's very true. It was like the curb stomp into the RKO. So yeah, you can't, you can't, it was epic, but still you never want to see like your favorite wrestler lose.
01:39:33
Speaker
Um, and then we went into Roman Reigns, who's our other favorite wrestler fighting Brock Lesnar. And I mean, we never even, I, it was just, we were so into the match of Roman versus Brock because it was so damn good that like, I never even saw Seth Rollins like coming, you know, like I spent, this is the theme of the episode. I never even saw it coming, you know? And then he comes down and Lilly and Garcia announces that it's going to be a triple threat. And it was just on like Donkey Kong.
01:39:57
Speaker
from that moment on. But yeah, I love that. Brock got busted open the hard way. And have you ever watched the little, what was the documentary they did? And you can see Roman's mom, she's like all pissed off because I guess she thought Roman was going to win. I guess it might've been a 24. But yeah, Roman's mom is like right there in the front row and she just goes, oh, she saw Seth Rollins cash in. She's like, oh, son of a.
01:40:20
Speaker
The days after they said that Sika had to be like restrained backstage because he was so pissed off because they all thought that Roman was a Was one in the belt, but I just I love that match like this match is actually in my top five all-time favorite matches Roman just
01:40:34
Speaker
did a hell of a job. You know, like she said, we were there. We were like the only two, it felt like we were the only two people in the whole stadium, the Rudy Roman. But, uh, you know, if you watch it by the end of the match, you know, the crowd was back, you know, on Roman side when he started that comeback, hitting those Superman punches and, and the spears on Brock and.
01:40:53
Speaker
It was just incredible, incredible, incredible match. It felt like a real fight. And then Seth cashing in was just the icing on the cake. I'd already totally forgotten about Seth even having a briefcase. I was just so invested in this match. And then when his music hit, it was euphoria.
01:41:08
Speaker
Just a really, really... The pop was insane. The pop was like unbelievable whenever Seth Cashdie or whenever Seth's music hit. And Brock, we have to give props to Brock because he sells like a freaking champ, dude. I mean, he made Roman look like a certified superstar, just the way he like sells and like stumbles across the ring, you know, obviously it's Paul Heyman there.
01:41:30
Speaker
Yeah, I actually think Brock is one of the more, you know, he's gotten so much hate over the last couple of years for just various reasons. I think he's actually to the point where he's underrated. You know, I don't think people really appreciate how just good of a professional wrestler that Brock is. He's the man. But but yeah, that match was just really incredible. I think from the moment when when Roman pushes Brock into the post and he gets bloody to the point when Seth gets the pinfall that like six minutes right there, I think that's like, you know,
01:41:59
Speaker
Just wrestling Nirvana, everything about it's perfect. Like that's my like wrestling comfort food. Like if I'm ever like, you know, uh, you know, having a, having a night call, having a little wind down before I go hit the bed and I just want to watch like 10 minutes. I put on the end of WrestleMania 31 and it always hits the spot. Awesome. Anything else to add on our retro wrestling recommendation this week, Marco?
01:42:22
Speaker
Yeah, as far as Brock Lesnar goes, we had this conversation during his Royal Rumble performance earlier this year where he pretty much stayed half the Royal Rumble and then obviously got eliminated by Drew McIntyre.
01:42:40
Speaker
Keith Lee, like Keith Lee, and they had that face off. He said, who the hell is this? Yeah, who the hell is this guy? And then Keith Lee hit him with that shoulder block, and then you're like, Brock Lesnar fell back, and just looking like stunned and surprised. Even John Cena said it earlier, he's part of the best... Well, not right now, but
01:42:59
Speaker
at the time he's the best performer in ring as far as like he said selling ability like he really sells with people like when he's in the ring with smaller guys like the match he had with AJ Siles was awesome he sold for AJ Siles say they would date O'Brien like when Daniel Bryan was doing those like when he grabs your arms and stomps your head in that type of that move like he he just he's he's just one of the like the best like grade A performer but people just hate him because obviously he just comes in and
01:43:24
Speaker
Yeah. And when he does it, when he does it, it means something because he's literally just like kicked your ass for like the first half of the match. You know what I mean? He's like a freaking F5 Jew and you know, took you to suplex city. And then all of a sudden like, you know, you, you have your like Hulk, you Hulk up a little bit and then come back and it's like, Oh, damn, you know, and he makes it look meaningful for not being there. But I mean, dude, that's Vince McMahon pays. I mean, that's, that's what he's worth, you know, Brock.
01:43:49
Speaker
He wants to show up 10 to 15 times a year and the rest of the time just to chill out on his farm in Canada. The numbers don't lie. People watch Brock Lesnar. You know what I mean? People tune in and watch Brock Lesnar. He is a draw, especially for the casual fan that doesn't watch week to week. They're like, oh damn, Brock Lesnar is fighting. Yeah, definitely.
01:44:10
Speaker
Awesome guys, well, thank you for another awesome show. We were gonna roll up out of here. Got a little early tonight, man, this is awesome. Love this. But we do wanna shout out some of our friends on our other pods and social medias that we love and care about. So I'm gonna turn that over to Seth.
01:44:27
Speaker
Yeah, so we'll start off with fully posable. We've been longtime listeners of Scott and Jeff over there. I love everything they got going on. Special recommendation, if you could check out the episodes where they have their parents on, they're just legit the most wholesome people you've ever heard. It just makes you smile from ear to ear listening to them.
01:44:45
Speaker
Also, the run-in pod, our friends over there. So that's our two podcast recommendations for the week. It's my first time giving plugs out on here. So for Instagram, I'm going to give just one. It's to Mad Reaper. There's a lot of customizers out there, a lot of really, really talented customizers.
01:45:02
Speaker
but Mad Reaper is on another level. He's incredible. Hopefully I'm not breaking kayfabe for him here, but his first name is Lane. I'm not sure if Lane is taking commissions right now or not or if he's just working on the stuff he wants to work on, but if you are ever in the market for customs and you want them done right, you want something where you don't have to question if you're
01:45:23
Speaker
your money is well spent or not, go with the mad reaper. He's the man, he's the best in the game. Hopefully I don't piss anybody off by saying that, but I think it's kind of unquestioned at this point. Hit him up.
01:45:36
Speaker
for sure. And I have one, one Instagram plug that I want to give a follow to is our, our buddy figure kingdom on Instagram. He is just an all in all, like amazing dude. His talent speaks for itself. He is like one of the best big photographers in the game. He comes into our Facebook group every Friday, gives us behind the scenes look of what he's shooting. He gives us an exclusive first look of, um, of his shots, which is super cool. And before he even posts them to Instagram. So please follow at figure kingdom. Uh, you will not be

If you go on his IG page, you can see all the different commissions he's done for people throughout. It doesn't obviously have to always be wrestling. He could literally draw anything.
