Speaker
good. It feels good to be back. Well, you, I get a couple of high noons coming your way in the mail from, from your boy. So look forward to that. Marco, what's up with you, dude? Uh, nothing much. Just, uh, just waiting for those, uh, high noons, uh, hit a state side and, uh,
00:01:06
Speaker
Yeah, can we just sip on those, especially the peach? Can we just try that out? I'm going to try a new flavor, so they answered the call. Yeah, man, they're pretty good. I went to a store today, and I brought them around to taste people, and the guy was like, took a sip, and he was like, OK, give me 25 cases. I was like, what? I almost said something back to him, like, are you sure? But I was like, OK. Are you sure? That's the one thing you don't want to do in sales. Don't ever ask them. They give you a big number. Just, OK, cool.
00:01:34
Speaker
Just go with it. So yeah, we have a big show, guys. We have a bunch of news about the podcast, about the Facebook group, about some new additions to the team.

We have to preview Money in the Bank on Sunday, a new pay-per-view from the WWE coming up, and get through Raw and SmackDown. We got some figure news. We got some questions from the audience. We got some giveaways, all kinds of good stuff. So let's start at the top of the list where you guys can hit us up and where you can interact with us. We'd love to talk to you guys.
00:02:04

00:02:23
Speaker
And the website is chickfolishow.com, guys. That's how you can get to our Patreon page. It starts at $1 per month. We have a bunch of cool new stuff coming onto the website. I just made a little post on the old Twitter, a couple of new additions to the team. And this is hot off the presses, okay? So our Patreon starts at $1 per month.
00:02:49
Speaker
get access to our Facebook group to buy, sell, and trade figures. Myself, Marco, and one of our Patreon subscribers, Shane, are now writing articles. We're each gonna do, the plan is for one a week, so you get three new articles a week. We have giveaways, we do unboxing videos, fig hunting videos, but the new news is the Mad Reaper, the best custom fig maker in the game, Sheena. You've bought figures. Oh, I know. You've bought figures from them. Oh, I know.
00:03:17
Speaker
Yeah, I know my man, the Reaper. Yeah, he is joining the team. He is going to be posting a weekly video of kind of behind the scenes, how he makes these customs. I'm fascinated by it because it takes super talent to do what he does. So that'd be cool to see a live video from him. We can interact with him and ask him questions.
00:03:35
Speaker
and our buddy Kingdom Figure on Twitter, and he's Figure Kingdom on Instagram. I'm gonna ask him about how he did the flipperoo on that. But he is the best figure photographer in the game. His pictures are awesome, super detailed, and he's gonna, every Friday, he's gonna post a video of kind of how he sets things up, a little behind-the-scenes action there. So two of the things any figure collector loves, fig photography and custom figures, we get you covered in addition to all the other cool stuff we're doing, Sheena.
00:04:04
Speaker
We're adding a bunch of cool stuff for people. I'm excited
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah. I'm really pumped about this, uh, this mad Reaper and figure kingdom collaboration, just because simply like I'm so into this kind of stuff. Like it is way above my pay grade. Like I, like when it comes to figure photography and any sort of customizations, I mean, I've like dabbled in like the, the low like rookie, rookie, rookie tier, but like these guys are like the kings of the mountain and it's like so cool. I'm so, I'm so stoked myself to just see what their process is, what their process is.
00:04:35
Speaker
Because if you go look at figure Kingdom, I mean, I'm like how the hell did he get some of these shots? Like I need to know like what kind of like
00:04:42
Speaker
voodoo magic he is doing behind the scenes to like make this stuff happen. So I'm super stoked. Oh, he's
Yard Sale and Live Sale Plans
00:04:48
Speaker
got like the smoke going on and all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Oh, perfect lighting. I mean, his figures are like flying through the air. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I'm sure there's like some sort of editing techniques and, you know, fishing line that we're that we're not seeing. But at the same, I mean, everything looks so smooth and so seamless. And yeah, pretty freaking made.
00:05:06
Speaker
And Marco, we got five new Patreon subscribers this week. We have Ken Nutter, Will Weber, Dylan Hartman, Dan Romero, and Nick Orth, all five easy names to pronounce. Love you guys for that. And, you know, we continue to grow. When we hit 150, I have a big box of stuff that we're going to give away to one of our lucky subscribers. But that's not all, Marco. This weekend, tell them what's going on. So this weekend, we actually have a
00:05:36
Speaker
Nice little yard sale happening. So yeah, so in the Facebook group, we'll open it up to our members to unload their figure collection and whatever they want to sell, we'll be there to go. We have a special section of our Facebook group where they'll be able to post what they have and it'll be a grand old time. These are the things that we do in the Facebook group. There's a lot of stuff that everyone's looking for
00:06:06
Speaker
I mean, there's enough people in our group that I think everyone will find what they need, essentially. So yeah, it's really huge. Can't wait for that to happen. Yeah, people do. Yeah, for sure. One of our subscribers says he has 215 loose elites that he might consider selling. We have a bunch of people. So people, I've been home quarantined, Sheena, cleaning out their collections, getting rid of stuff. I'm excited. I got some stuff to sell and hopefully maybe buy some stuff, which will probably even out.
00:06:32
Speaker
And then real quick, the following week, we have our buddy Hastell Toy from Instagram. He's going to be doing a live sale video in our Facebook group for everyone, live from his store, which has been shut down during quarantine. So give him a chance to sell some stuff, make some money for us to get some figures from him. It's kind of a win-win, so I'm excited about that. You can follow him on Instagram.
00:06:54
Speaker
H-A-S-T-T-E-L toy. Great file. I've bought a bunch of Hasbro figures from him.
Omage Partnership and Promotions

00:07:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's all we have to cover, right? Yeah. Oh, no, we have a new, we have a new sponsor, Sheena. We have a new sponsor. We need to get to that because I've never bought something, you know, full disclosure, I've never bought anything from this website, but. Oh my God. I know. I know. I'm in this group chat with you, you two, knuckleheads.
00:07:33
Speaker
And our party, Mike Lanham and Zach Eagolff. And all of you guys have patronized this website. And I almost got to the point where I was so annoyed. I just slipped into the DMs of their website and said, hey, we've got to do something here, because my people won't leave me alone. Yeah, Tom Sliney is another huge, huge guy. Yeah, Tom Sliney. So yeah, we got a bunch of people that roll deep in the fully fam for this brand. So I'm super excited to announce this.

00:10:16
Speaker
But they're not a huge company. They're a small business that are trying to survive. Not that they're doing bad, but everyone's kind of struggling at this point right now with things being shut down and all that kind of stuff. So we want to support them as much as we can. So use our code. Check out their shirts. I'm excited to get mine in the mail. We have some cool swag from them coming.
00:10:38
Speaker
We'll have some giveaways from homage, so I'm excited to partner with them and see what all the fuss is about because I'm hearing nothing but good things.
00:10:46
Speaker
Yeah, so Tom, you're welcome. Yeah, I messaged him like an hour ago and told him about it. He was like, holy shit. So I was like, yeah. OK, so you're welcome. Inside the squared circle, this is brought to more of our friends at ChalkLine. You can use code chick there as well. You're seeing a trend here. For code chick for 15% off, let's start really quickly with SmackDown, Seamus, five star match as per usual. Yeah.
00:11:15
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was, it was an instant classic against a Gilbert. So yeah. What do you think they're setting up for him? I mean, you got, obviously you have McIntyre as the champ over on raw and Braun on Smackdown. So I mean, are they, are they, are they setting up him as kind of like the, the gender Mahal of Smackdown to kind of be the next challenger for, for Braun?
00:11:39
Speaker
No, I think he's just going to be greasing the mid-card like he always does, keeping it nice and warm. Why you got to do me like that, Sheena? He's no bulldog. I'll just say that. OK. Our girl, Carmella, is now in the Money in the Bank match. We saw that. Forgotten Sun's getting a victory over New Day, Marco. What's up with that? Yeah, I don't know. I guess they're trying to push them as a great faction to go after the New Day.
00:12:09
Speaker
Uh, they're down one member, so I'm not sure how that works out. I mean, it wouldn't be better if, if, uh, Xavier Woods is back in the picture and they can do that, that six man tag, but, but yeah, I know that, I mean, they're pretty awesome at NXT as well. And they're pretty, they're pretty dominating there as well. So, I mean, I don't see, I don't see any harm in them defeating the new day. Uh, the new day we'll get back up on their feet and, you know,
00:12:34
Speaker
Get back in action and defeat the forgotten sons at some point, but yeah, no, I like the forgotten sons They're grade six six. I almost had six men. They're great three-man team and Yeah, that's not a big thing. It's not a big whoop. That's a loss. They'll get back on their feet at some point. I
00:12:52
Speaker
I do like to see them and then of course the new teams on Raw with Shane Thorne and his partner. We have a bunch of new tag teams now. Maybe they're finally deciding to invest some time into the tag team division. Oh, I hope so. What do you think is the deal with Ced Ricochet? Who did they piss off?
00:13:17
Speaker
I don't know, dude.
Wrestling during No-Audience Era
00:13:19
Speaker
Something's a miss there. I mean, wasn't Ricochet supposed to be like the next big thing? And like, I mean, we're saying, I think we're seeing like a downward spiral for him.
00:13:30
Speaker
No, I don't, I mean, it takes time. I mean, Shawn Michaels was like a mid-quarter for like three WrestleMania's in a row before he like, you know, got up on top. Like, I just, I feel like we want to rush things like in our society now. True. Like, not to get any deeper than it needs to be, but like,
00:13:50
Speaker
Peyton Manning didn't start his first year. He led the league in interceptions his second year. We forget about shit like that. It just takes time for some people to find their voice, and not everybody's going to come in and dominate. There's bigger names that they want to push, I guess, to begin with, but this is a good way to start with them. You don't have one of them turn heel eventually and split them up, and then you can have an angle or something.
00:14:14
Speaker
He's not going anywhere, but I agree. Where else would you put him? Is he just going to be a competitor for the US or the intercontinental title? Those titles don't have any meaning. Our buddy Shane wrote an article on the website for us this week about the intercontinental title.
00:14:29
Speaker
Intercontinental title losing its luster and somebody was like, oh, it's it's only been the last couple of years No, like go back like five or six years like tell me anybody who's won the intercontinental that's like been like then Pushed up to the main Ross, you know the main like I mean event push like really really it's just kind of a throwaway thing so death Rollins
00:14:49
Speaker
Well, I mean, he was already there. Come on. Listen, you asked. You asked. Him and Roman were. Yeah. And then Braun held it for like 30 days or something. So I guess he counts too, because then he went and won the title of WrestleMania. But you know.
00:15:05
Speaker
Um, you know, back in the day, that was the title you won before, you know, we, we were seeing rock and Austin battle for it before, you know, while, you know, Shawn Michaels and, and Brett Hart were in the main event and they kind of just took over eventually. So, um, we'll see. Yeah. So when we have, we have to fly, we've got Brendan, Brendan Vank and Shane Thorne. This is a tag team that's destined for AEW. They just seem like,
00:15:27
Speaker
I mean, they're good. There's nothing wrong with them, but I just, I mean, you gotta give me something. You can make fun of WWE for having gimmicks and shit, but you give me two guys like this that are just wrestlers. Everyone's a wrestler, okay? So tell me what else. That's why the revival didn't make it. We'll talk about them later in the show. Your gimmick can't just be like you're a good wrestler.
00:15:49
Speaker
You know, there's a lot of good wrestlers. Okay. Just give me something else. So, you know, they're, they're brand new. They'll come up with something hopefully for them. So, but yeah, hopefully this means that the tag team division is getting a little more of a spotlight because it hasn't for a very, very long time. So one can only hope, I feel like every time there's like a little bit of a bright spot in like tag team wrestling and WWE, it's a, it's, it just gets,
00:16:13
Speaker
freaking demolish. You're on the roller coaster, and you're going up the hill. It's like, click, click, click, click, click, click. And then you just get stuck there. You never really start the ride. It's just like, oh, sorry, folks. We're going to get you off the ride now. Yeah, it's just such a buzzkill.
00:16:33
Speaker
Well, let's move on to Raw. We saw, luckily, AJ Styles not dead. Those reports were false. He is still alive, and he won the Gauntlet match, so now he is in the Money in the Bank. I guess we're replacing our buddy Apollo Crews.
00:16:48
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was listening to another show Yesterday I think I think yesterday I don't even know what day it is anymore But they were talking about how AJ should have just come back and been like, you know, I'm back from the dead bitches. Yeah Yeah, it would have been so good. I'm like, oh my god, that is so genius. I would have popped hard for that. I
00:17:07
Speaker
That would have been pretty cool. But yeah, just back to normal. No club with him anymore. No OC. Yeah. A little awkward, yeah. So we saw him come back. The VIP lounge with Asuka, Nia Jax, and Shaina. Those three wrestled. They tried to wrestle last week, and then it just kind of broke into a melee. And Nia Jax just assaulted everyone. We didn't really talk about Nia Jax last week for some reason, but she's been the punching bag on social media.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, I mean she's getting real legit heat, and I think they're playing it up I mean she plays it up on Twitter really well. I mean I think they're doing all this shit on purpose I mean yeah, I mean I I think they're doing it on purpose But it's still not a good look like I would never ever want my gimmick to be that I'm like an unsafe worker you know I mean it's one thing if you're just like an ass-kicker and a you know bruiser, but like to
00:18:02
Speaker
legitimately hurt people and that's like your gimmick. I think that's like, I'm not, I don't like that at all, especially like Nia Jax. I don't know. I don't know what it is about her, but I just, I don't know. Something about our robes made the wrong way. Yeah. I mean, that's the, that's the, I mean, that's the way I felt about Jeff Jarrett back on the day. He just, I hated his face. I wanted to punch his face. I mean, do we, do we know that she has hurt any, do we know that she's hurt anyone? I mean, we know she punched Becky Lynch and made her bleed or whatever. Um,
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, is Carrie Sane actually hurt or was that just like, I mean, was that all like, were we just being worked basically? I mean, everything's a work until proven otherwise. But I mean, as far as I know, she's legitimately, she's legitimately hurt, you know?
00:18:43
Speaker
Okay. All right. Well, she's 105 pounds, so soaking wet. Wrestling Nia Jax, what'd you think was going to happen? Viking Raiders defeat the street province. A lot of upsets in the world of tag team wrestling over the last week or so. I guess that's
00:19:00
Speaker
So, we had the Viking Raiders video where they're doing the carpool karaoke thing, and then they switched the next week to being like these heel angry motherfuckers. What was the point of that carpool thing? I don't know. I feel like they're just grasping at straws to do anything. I mean, a lot of the WWE superstars did that carpool
00:19:25
Speaker
the carpool segments.
NXT and AEW Current Storylines
00:19:27
Speaker
Have you seen any of them online? There was one with Roman and Seth and the Bellas and Daniel Bryan, but I don't know why you would take people like the Viking Raiders who are supposed to be just badass Vikings.
00:19:42
Speaker
and put like have them eating turkey legs or whatever the hell they were eating in a car singing karaoke like that absolutely does nothing to like make their character any better you can do that on the network on the show but don't show that on raw when we're exactly spending our disbelief like
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah, we're already we're already suspending our disbelief more so than than we normally do simply because like there's no audience there. And I don't know how much we've touched on this, you know, like over the past couple of weeks. But it's been a really hard watch for me the last couple of weeks, just kind of like getting into a battle rhythm like, oh, I got to watch. I got to watch wrong. I got to watch Smackdown because there is there is just something missing that is just so woven into the fabric of how we are so used to watching.
00:20:30
Speaker
Wrestling and it is there are some there's some parts of it that are like really awesome like you know sometimes the promos you're like oh my god that you can really like focus in on what the people are saying and you know it's some people some people thrive in that environment you know we saw it with Cena and Bray Wyatt like they're promos with no people like it was excellent.
00:20:48
Speaker
But there are other people that it's just like, I mean, it's changing the way that they have to perform, you know? I mean, they are so used to coming out and playing off of the audience and just having that, you know, electricity in the air. I mean, the audience is the third member of the show. You know what I mean? Like, they're like a vital part of the show as much as sometimes we like hate them for like being like beach ball, like throwing beach balls and doing the wave and stuff. I mean, you know, aside from that, I mean, it's just, I think it's just crucial. And I don't know how long
00:21:17
Speaker
WWE can survive like this because It's it's just awkward for me to watch them in and there I think the ratings are really showing that as well, you know Yeah, I think it exposes a lot of people too That's why you don't see a lot of a lot of people on TV anymore So like everyone I hate to bring this back again and hate to use this person as an example So Cesaro will say for an example like oh, he should be the champion. Oh, he should have a title right now There's a reason why he's not on TV right now. They need people that can perform like
00:21:48
Speaker
do dramatic like they can act like basically actors in the ring they can pull off a promo they can they can bring you in with their emotions and stuff like that he's not a person he can get in the ring and put on a damn match for you yeah if you're gonna put him across from Drew McIntyre is he gonna is he gonna pull at your heartstrings at all is he gonna is he gonna bring you is he is gonna invest you in a match with him and Drew McIntyre no cuz he doesn't have that ability to do so so like
00:22:14
Speaker
If you notice, they're putting certain people on TV that can actually do that, like a Charlotte Flair, like a Liv Morgan, where she can really do different types. She has a crazy kind of character, so she can pretty much act. And Nia Jack, Shayna Baszler, Asuka, they all have a certain character that can play across on TV without an audience. And you're starting not to see those pure wrestlers on TV, because they can't do that. Now you have to really
00:22:42
Speaker
show all aspects of what professional wrestling is, which is being a wrestler first and foremost, but also having that that character to be able to speak. And a lot of those guys and girls can't do that. And it shows being a performer. Yeah, you've got to have more than a five star match now because, you know, there's so much silence in the air that like you have to be able to in those transitions between moves, you have to be able to bring. There's, you know,
00:23:12
Speaker
I might have lost you. See any there? Marco, you there?
00:23:23
Speaker
All right. Arteo issues are fixed. We're back live here. We were kind of talking about how in the empty arena, there's certain superstars that are standing out that can kind of fill the void between the silence and those that can't. A couple that come to mind, Asuka's really good at it, just like blabbering in her native tongue, whatever she's saying. And then last night. Japanese.
Predictions for WWE Events
00:23:45
Speaker
Japanese. OK. OK. Whatever. I don't want to make any assumptions. I don't want to make any assumptions.
00:23:49
Speaker
Um, and then Charlotte was really good. She's, she, she's the ultimate Charlotte's the ultimate shit talker while she's like, you know, while someone's on the mat, she's kind of doing her, doing her, her thing. So what were you guys thinking? Like who has stood out to you as someone who's kind of been good, uh, raw or smackdown or AW, whatever. As far as what?
00:24:12
Speaker
like us use this time to like, you know, fill the time well and be like, we talked about how it's like just awkward when some people are in the ring and just kind of like, I mean, moments of dead air.
00:24:25
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, obviously, I think Seth Rollins has done a really great job. His feud with Kevin Owens was really good. I mean, I feel like both of those guys really work well together and have the ability to bring the audience in, even though there's no live audience there in the arena. So they're really good. Asuka, I mean,
00:24:50
Speaker
Speaking of her speaking her Japanese. I can't get with it. I can't get with it It's just it's getting too much where she just yells all the time and it's annoying. I need some subtitles Because all I hear is her going, you know, you know Japanese Japanese Japanese Kyrie Kyrie, you know, and then I'm like, oh You know, like it's just I cannot buy into it because I don't know what the hell you're saying You know what I mean? Like it's just like that's why
00:25:14
Speaker
I just need her to do something else. She's an amazing talent, amazing wrestler, but again, she's got to do something other than nobody's ready for Asuka and then just like, you know, screaming. Marco, what were your thoughts? You had some people behind that. Yeah, you know, you have like the stream profits. They're really, they can present themselves on TV as well, like they're characters of themselves. So like they come across,
00:25:44
Speaker
necessarily need an audience. They just need the TV audience and they can play to the camera if they need to. It's like a Drew McIntyre. He's really good at speaking. He has a presence about himself where you like when you listen to him speak, you like hang on to every word that he says. And I think that's what like you'll see. That's why you see him on TV and like certain people you don't see on TV is the ability to speak and be able to like like hold their hold the attention of the TV audience as opposed to the
00:26:14
Speaker
to the live audience at home. She brought up Seth Rollins. I noticed he's been digging deep into his acting, his acting bag, as I like to say. And you can tell he's really focused more with how he says his words and how he presents his sentences and stuff like that. You can see he draws out his words a little bit more. He's not rushing anything or anything like that.
00:26:41
Speaker
And you can see that they're almost acting in a scene when they're together in the ring. Just to call it back, the contract signing that they had was like, that was almost like a scene from a movie. They weren't expecting the crowd to expect them to fight and stuff like that. They could just sit there and have a conversation without waiting to get to the action, as they like to say. Even this on Raw, just being able to hear what they say in the ring,
00:27:12
Speaker
where they're like, you don't have an audience drowning them out. Even them being able to say things to each other and stuff like that, and they whisper and stuff to each other or they're combing each other out and stuff like that. I actually like it. I know a lot of people don't like the new audience stuff, but I actually like it. I'm a movie slash TV guy, so I'm all for this. I mean, if they do it a lot, I'm good with it. But you don't see a lot of
00:27:39
Speaker
certain people on TV and stuff like that. I can actually do it. You already mentioned Charlotte. And I is good at it. Shayna, she has a character that I like, yeah, like calculating killer type of person. So, yeah, like I said, so like few can seems seems to be more of a heel, a heel, like working the heels favor, right? Like, you know, because liberties. Yeah. Yeah. He's just yelling. It's so methodical. Mm hmm. I do like you. Perfect.
00:28:07
Speaker
I do like that AEW has had those 10 or so people around ringside every single week. Yeah, it makes a difference. It definitely adds to it. It makes a difference. They're separated. They're not in contact. I'm sure they're giving tests to all those folks, their employees. I'm sure WWE didn't want to completely copy off what they were doing, but it definitely adds a lot to the product. You just get guys that can yell and react to moves and stuff.
00:28:34
Speaker
you're halfway there. So we didn't talk about the Rollins and the McIntyre contracts coming. It didn't really feel like a go home episode of Raw before a pay-per-view. And I know we're dealing with a pandemic right now, but this just didn't seem like there was a big event that they're building toward. Right, Sheena? Like, am I wrong?
00:28:52
Speaker
Well this the contract signing was week not last week, but the week before this this week was when Drew McIntyre faced unless I'm completely screwed up Drew McIntyre faced Buddy Murphy in the main event. Oh, you're right. You're right. Yeah. Yeah, but he faced and that it did feel like a go it did feel like a go home to a pay-per-view because you know, obviously Drew McIntyre defeated
00:29:15
Speaker
buddy Murphy with Seth Rollins ringside and Seth acted like he was you know leaving and he was frustrated and all that and then all of a sudden Drew turns around and eats a super kick out of nowhere like I got totally like blindsided by that just as much as Drew I was like holy shit Rollins freaking what where did he come from um and it was it was freaking awesome and then obviously they had
00:29:37
Speaker
Rollins kind of weasel out after Drew put him in that chokehold or whatever, which I think is really setting up for a good match for Sunday. I'm pumped
AEW Storylines and Pricing Strategies
00:29:47
Speaker
for this match. I think it's going to be excellent. I think it'll be good, too. Do you want to get into Money in the Bank? Or do you want to do AW and NXT first?
00:29:53
Speaker
Let's go let's just let's just go right into money in the bank and then we'll just we'll briefly touch on NXT and AWF. Okay. All right. So I'm the prediction champion not to brag or anything. This is my gross I wanted it before WrestleMania. I kept it after WrestleMania. So this is my streak
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, this is the first time I've had any kind of streak So Marco list off the matches and we'll go match by match here. We'll take turns and we'll see what comes out on top Where do we want to start? Let's see bottom of the card curtain jerker. All right So the bottom of the card is the Smackdown tag team championship fatal four-way match we have the new day we have the
00:30:43
Speaker
Durchie, which is Ms. Anne Morrison. We have the forgotten sons as well as the lucha house party. Um, I'm going to say new day retain.
00:31:00
Speaker
I'm going to say Forgotten Sons. I'm going to say they're going to change the belts up here, go with some heels, give them a push. They can do the three-way thing. Maybe they're hoping Elijah Woods comes back sooner than later. I think they're going to change it. I always do that. I'm not going to change that. Yeah, that's a long-standing chick phobia.
00:31:21
Speaker
If you know where that came from, you're day one-ish. If you hold up that figure to my son, that's what he'll say, Elijah Woods. Yeah, that's a deep cut. Yeah. I did see that Lince Dorado is going to be rocking some Power Ranger-inspired gear for the event, so white Power Ranger outfit. Does he not always rock Power Rangers? It's pretty much, yeah. Yeah, pretty much. They do look like Power Rangers.
00:31:48
Speaker
So this this will be a fun match I think I mean anything with Miz and Morrison a new day when you get some veterans in there and lucha the guy lucha guys will jump around and Flip and flippy dippy. They'll do lucha things which is stuff. Yeah, which is things. All right, so yeah I feel too confident my pick but she is going chalk here because she wants her title back. Yeah, no, she's I Am freaking laser-focused right now Whoop that ass
00:32:16
Speaker
Let me just crack open another email. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, she's serious. Yeah, that's serious right there. All right. All right. So next up or Smackdown Women's Championship, Bailey versus Tamina.
00:32:34
Speaker
Who you got? I start here, right? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Um, okay. Bailey versus Tamina. Oh, this is a layup here. You're screwing me, Marko, with this match selection here. I'm going Bailey. There's no way Tamina wins the belt in this. I will, I will jump on Facebook live in our group and I will eat a, a shirt. I'll eat my reho shirt. I'll cut it up and eat it with a knife and fork.
00:33:01
Speaker
My god, I'm almost hoping that Tamina wins just to see that but yeah, I gotta go with Bailey I mean you would be you'd be freaking insane to pick anybody other than Bailey in a Bailey versus Tamina match Next match they have this is how they have it in order from from up Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins
00:33:28
Speaker
Okay. This one's a tough one. This one's a tough one for me. Um, obviously, obviously you guys know where our biases lie. Uh, but I can't, I just, for whatever reason, I just cannot see them taking the championship off of drew this quickly after mania. Um, especially since I said like, you know, I feel like they're setting up something from the money in the bank match. Like I think they might be sending up gender versus drew McIntyre for the future. Yeah.
00:33:59
Speaker
F me, dude. I can't pick against it. I'm almost said. Oh, my God. Wow. Oh, man. Pick the guy with the beard and the long hair. It's easy. He's a freaking messiah.
00:34:10
Speaker
No, I'm going back in town. I don't think they can take the belt off him right now. Sheena is turbulent times. Yeah, I know. No. She's a staff bias. You've got to go with your heart. Listen, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. 50, 50 chance. There's a 50, 50 chance. What's next? Oh, man. All right. Jeez. Oh, I wish you picked different. All right. Let's see. Next match.
00:34:38
Speaker
We have Braun Strowman versus Bray Wyatt, universal championship match. Interesting that they're saying Bray Wyatt here. They're not saying the Fiend. Yeah, I know. I'm very confused. This is very
00:34:50
Speaker
This can make a huge difference in the Chick Foley championship here. You know what I mean? Yes. I'm going bronze, no doubt about it. But I think this sets up something after the match where he beats Bray and then the Fiend comes out separately. It's almost like a different person and has some sort of control over him. And then we see maybe a SummerSlam matchup between the two. And then maybe Fiend wins there. But I think they're covering their bases. They're not letting Fiend lose another match. So they've been very clear it's Bray Wyatt in the Mr. Rogers outfit. So I'm going Strowman. Yeah.
00:35:20
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going Strowman too. I think, I mean, did Bray beat, he beat the Miz, right? Didn't he beat the Miz freaking when he was Mr. Rogers? Yeah. So yeah, so he's got a win under his belt. So yeah, but I'm still going with, I'm still going with Bron. Yeah. All right. Next match, women's money in the bank ladder match. We have, let me, let me list off like
00:35:50
Speaker
Just in case you don't know, Carbella, Shayna, Naya, Oscar, Dana, Brooke, and Lacey. Okay. This is a hard one. That's what she said. I am going to go with my bish Shayna.
00:36:16
Speaker
I think. Yeah, I think I think this is a perfect. I think the Miss Money in the bank is like a. Like for her, I think she's like just like bad ass enough that like she can make it work, I feel like. Yeah, I'm going with Shayna, my heart's telling me Shayna.
00:36:37
Speaker
This is tough. Are you going to buy us on this one? No, I'm not going to buy us because I don't like this person at all, but I think it's going to be Nia Jax. What? They seem to be pushing her quite a bit. Who else has been, Sheena, who else has been on TV at all over the last month? Yeah. Carmella, Lacey, Evans, Dana, none of them have done anything of any note.
Cultural Trends and New WWE Show
00:37:02
Speaker
Sheena, Nia's being built as some sort of monster.
00:37:05
Speaker
Yeah, Lacey Lacey's a long shot. Carmilla and Dana don't stand a chance. It's got to be. I mean, yeah, it's going to be Oscar, Shayna or Naya. And I don't see I don't see this being a gimmick that's going to suit Oscar. So I think Shayna. Yeah. But you're going with Naya. I'm going Naya Jax. All right. This is where you fucked up. All right. Last but not least, the men's money in the bank ladder match.
00:37:35
Speaker
You have, do you guys know who's in it already? Do you need to ramble off everybody? We gotta ramble it off for the audience. What if we don't? Well, we know, but what if they don't? All right, so we have Otis. We have Alistair Black. We have Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles back from the dead, and King Corbin. I mean, surely to God, King Corbin is not going to win again.
00:38:06
Speaker
I'm going to go with, or is this, is this your pick first? Okay. So let's, let's figure this thing out. We got a couple of veterans here and AJ and Ray and Daniel Bryan, who don't really need the rub. King Corbin has been, everybody needs a rub.
00:38:23
Speaker
Otis I guess Otis I guess Tucker's just which I predict on the show Tucker is just gonna fade away into existence the next time we do releases he's gonna be on Ring of Honor pretty soon because Otis is just flying so they have no mention of Tucker at all and anytime this comes yeah it's totally done
00:38:40
Speaker
Uh, my heart is telling me Alistair Black. I think this would be a perfect opportunity, uh, to give him kind of a, uh, something to do. I don't really see him walking down and running to the ring with a briefcase though. Yeah. I mean, he, he's a pretty slow guy. Oh man. Uh, I'm going to go Alistair Black.
00:39:01
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going with AJ I think I think black is definitely a favorite to win It's between between my top two picks. It's definitely AJ and Alistair black, but I'm gonna go with AJ I mean they had him make his you know debut this past week on raw I think he's you know I
00:39:25
Speaker
He's rip-borne and ready to like take over that top heel, that top heel spot. Uh, and I think, yeah, I think it could be good stuff. Are they rewriting? Like, obviously he wasn't in the match to begin with. Were they having Apollo Cruz win and they're just going to pivot to him or was someone, one of these other guys supposed to win? Because, um, I'm really bummed Apollo Cruz is injured. I was hoping he would.
00:39:46
Speaker
Is he, is he shoot injured? I thought that was a work. I thought it was all work. It looked like a work. I thought he was going to come back this week and kind of like say he was like good to go, but I don't know. I mean, yeah, they play. I think it's all storytelling, dude. I think, I think he was just, I think honestly, he just got too cocky and like he just kept going and kept going and like he just freaking
00:40:10
Speaker
I don't know. I don't think he's actually hurt. Marco, do you have any info on this? I don't think, I don't think Apollo Crews is actually injured. I think it's a war. Yeah. They kept it pretty quiet. Like they, like, I mean, they brought it up about Apollo Crews, like being injured, but yeah, they haven't. If he was legitimately injured and he continued to do like 37 moonsaults, that's just, that's just stupidity. You know what I mean? Like, honestly.
00:40:39
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was just a way to get him. I mean, I see where you're going. Like, it could be like that Kofi syndrome, you know, where, um, what's his name? Freaking. Oh my God. What's, what's, what's, uh, Ali. Ali. Yeah. Yeah. And then it gave, it gave, uh, it opened the gates for Kofi to come through. Um, but I think, I don't, I don't think this is that. Yeah, no. If it was opposite, if it was like AJ got injured and then like a Paul Cruz gone in, that would be,
00:41:08
Speaker
a little bit different, but yeah. What if we see him, I mean, Apollo Crews turn heel and kind of side with, I guess MVP is getting some sort of stable now. He's got Brandon Vink and Shane Thorne. He's managing supposedly, um, you know, maybe, maybe turning him heel and having him come out and like disrupt the match or cause I agree. I don't think he's really hurt. There has to be a reason though, that they're pretending he's hurt to get him out of this match. Yeah.
00:41:38
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, there's gotta be, there's gotta be something. I mean, setting him up with like Andrade or some, I think there's a bigger storyline in place for him. But yeah, I don't, I don't think he's injured. Can we talk about the, hold on.
00:41:53
Speaker
So we haven't talked about this. What about this character on SmackDown who's kind of watching everybody? I thought it was going to be Ali, but they've kind of milked this thing for everything. It's kind of like the GTV, like the hacker gimmick. The hacker? Yeah. There's rumors now at CM Punk. 50-50 chance. True. 50-50.
00:42:17
Speaker
I don't know, dude, I think, what if it's Elijah Wood? He's kind of got a hacker gimmick already, you know what I mean? He's like a gamer, a computer nerd. What if this is how he gets back in the fold? I would be opposed to that. I think he would do some cool stuff as a heel. That's kind of like spying on everybody. But I just feel like they've just milked it for so long. I feel like this has been going on before WrestleMania, right? Two, three months now?
00:42:46
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I think it's probably one of those things that WWE doesn't know exactly what the hell they're doing with it and it'll probably never pay off just like Rowan's caged animal gimmick, you know, like people are just like, Oh, we're just gonna do this. And then all of a sudden you're like, it'll just disappear one day. What a disaster that was. I forgot all about that. Oh my God, a giant fake spider in the cage. What the fuck?
00:43:09
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know, WWE, they're just like throwing stuff at the wall to see, to see what sticks sometimes. So, uh, I would not be surprised if we never hear about the hacker ever again. I'm not too confident in my money in the bank picks, but it should be a pretty good little car. I got you scared. I got you scared. It's okay. You can say, you can say it. Listen, I gave you, I gave you Seth. I gave you Seth as just like a handicap. You know what I mean? Like I was like, yeah.
00:43:37
Speaker
But yeah, that's how it's coming home with me, baby. We'll see. We'll see. Let's get into NXT. A really, really good episode of NXT and possibly the best debut I've seen in a long time. Did you watch this? She know this carrying cross.
00:43:54
Speaker
Debut yeah, yeah, it's pretty pretty freaking rad. I Mean it was exactly what it needed to be, you know quick effective squash It didn't really get to show you you know you I think a lot of people I saw in my comments when I posted about it were like, oh well It didn't show who it didn't show what he's capable of it I'm like, that's not what this is about like when you make a debut like this You're not trying to show your move set
00:44:19
Speaker
You're not trying to show, you know, your promo cutting skills. Like you just want to come in, make a statement and get the hell out of there. And that's exactly what he did. Yeah. It was like, you know, the theatrics, the like freaking over the top entrance. He's got Scarlett Bordeaux with him, which is she's just like a freaking smoke show. Yeah. She's got like this. I was talking to Mike Lanham in a chat and then one of our chick bully fam on Instagram, like completely validated my feelings. I was like, she's got a very.
00:44:48
Speaker
Like both of them have a very like Rob Zombie horror movie-esque vibe about them. You know what I mean? Like there's something very creepy and unsettling about both of those people. And I'm into it. I love it. I'm excited to see what these two bring to the table.
00:45:06
Speaker
100%, and I think he has a great look. I love his whole, like you said, the entrance was amazing. It worked really well. That entrance was almost made for that performance center, because it was just so intimate. You had all the smoke, and the smoke was still in the ring when the match started, which was cool. Scarlet is just a beautiful, beautiful woman. The music was great, everything. One tiny nitpick.
00:45:34
Speaker
Guy her karaoke singing. Oh no no that was cool. That was kind of cool like you know I'm sure that I'll catch on and be like you know a Jericho theme thing type of thing a guy like this a badass ass kicker, and I want your opinion on this Marco to To finish someone off with a headlock like a headlock Finishing submission maneuver is totally wrong this this guy needs an f5 type of like
00:46:00
Speaker
Just burying people. Power move. Power move. It was basically just like he just had his arm under the guy's throat and pinned his arm down with his leg, basically. And it was like the guy tapped down a second. It was just nothing original. I've never seen this guy wrestle. I've heard nothing but good things about him. And I loved 99% of it. But I just need a badass finishing move from this guy that really shows me that he's legit.
00:46:30
Speaker
I totally agree. Yeah, he's like a power bomb back. Who does the power bomb now? Yeah, or the last ride. The last ride power bomb is lifting high up in the air. Yeah, something's like, yeah, he probably has a power move. I think that was just more like a kind of like a, since it wasn't like a real jobber. So it wasn't like, you don't have to go too crazy on him. But I think when he has like that,
00:46:58
Speaker
that five star match down the road, you'll see like a different finishing move. Hopefully anyway, I hope he doesn't choke people out because a guy that that size needs like a power move. I hate to be like eighties slash nineties wrestler guy, but like you definitely need a power move. If you're, if you're huge looking like Drew McIntyre with a clay bar, like that's like, I mean, he's a big guy and it's like, but it's still devastating.
00:47:22
Speaker
He turns people inside out when he does it. I don't know. Maybe it's just a psychotic thing, you know what I mean? Kind of like how the fiend uses the mandible claw. It's all about just slowly beating your opponent into submission and torturing them a little bit before you just knock them completely out. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think it's totally a dominance type thing. I agree with you guys. I prefer.
00:47:51
Speaker
I prefer power moves versus like submission moves as far as like finishing. Zach, Zach, Zach, you got to grab that, Zach, that's a 48 minutes, Zach. Yeah, but...
00:48:10
Speaker
OK, I'm done. No, no, I agree with you. And I think maybe he held it on a little bit longer, like kind of like the crossway chicken wing type of thing. Yeah. Like just made it look a little more devastating. But I'm sure, you know, this is his first match. It's not like that. Yeah, like I think it should just look like he's completely annihilating. Like they're like flailing around trying to get away. And he looks like it's literally no sweat off his back. You know, like if you're going to be a big dominating submission person like that, I feel like that is going to be
00:48:36
Speaker
what makes it effective and like holy shit like he's got him in the you know the cross face chicken wing you know like it's just like you gotta do something just love any sort of really really over the top yeah the other part of that too is he's gonna have to cross pass with the other psychotic guy in NXT at some point you know I'm talking about Dexter yeah yeah
00:49:01
Speaker
Can you imagine the the bug eyed stare off that those two could have? I probably won't even. I probably like turn. I'd have to turn away because it would creep me out too much if they were just staring at each other from at a distance or like up close to each other. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to handle that at all. Yeah. Yes, dudes.
00:49:20
Speaker
That seems to be a theme lately, just like complete psychotic killer in WWE. Big guys. NXT is kind of going for like, you know, we're done with the days of Champa and Gargano, like 200 pound guys. Like now we're getting some bigger dudes in NXT. Big dude season. Big dude season, taking it over. Keith Lee ushered that in, I think, a little bit.
00:49:43
Speaker
Yeah, so we saw Johnny Gargano beat Dominic Dijakovic one-on-one we saw Charlotte Charlotte a really good match Defending about again It was a really good match I didn't love that. She like did a cheap like was a kindle stick kindle stick finish
00:50:03
Speaker
Yeah, here with the kendo stick and then it was over. I was like wait, what are we like? What this is a really good matchup into that point So I'm wondering how that's gonna pay off like, you know, what what's gonna be her logic for her her heel antics Because I feel like she really needs a good story because I was really enjoying the matchup to that point. However Breaking kayfabe here. It was like one of the lowest rated segments in NXT which is kind of
00:50:31
Speaker
it's kind of telling right like i mean i thought like they i feel like they sent charlotte down there to boost ratings and now uh you know her segments are really really dropping dropping low
00:50:44
Speaker
Yeah, it's just a weird place right now so I don't know what they're doing. I think another Charlotte Rhea match at SummerSlam would be cool and let Rhea get back up on top. The very confusing NXT Cruiserweight tournament where this is similar to the AEW power rankings type of thing where it doesn't make much sense. There's two different brackets and I guess we're just gonna get the top person from each bracket in the championship here and this is like a
00:51:10
Speaker
a placeholder for the NXT champion who Jordan Devlin can't travel right now so I don't know is this person gonna give the title back to him or are they gonna then just be the champion they keep saying like they don't say interim champion or they just I forget what word they're using like uh
00:51:26
Speaker
like temporary, not temporary, but something like that. Like, I don't know what they're going to do with this. Maybe they're they're both going to claim to be the NXT Cruiserweight Champion, you know, some WrestleMania 10 style and a ladder match or something. But we saw Akira Tozawa and Kushida move on. I asked our buddy Kyle Niblett the new theme song for Jack Gallagher is someone else's theme song. And I can't it's been bothering me all goddamn day. I can't figure out who it is.
00:51:53
Speaker
Listen, if Kyle Niblett doesn't know, then nobody knows. I know. I know. He was the first person I messaged. Yeah, Kyle is the end all be all with the knowledge. Yeah.
00:52:05
Speaker
that guy with everything, or the 90s guy too. That's the other guy you want to go to. You should ask him. Oh, I should. I should ask Nick. Good call. So yeah, really good episode of NXT. We saw, I don't know, I don't remember the last couple of weeks, but we had Beth Phoenix and Mauro Ranallo on commentary, which was nice. I did not watch a single minute of AEW here. So Marco, you're going to take over while I have a couple of sips of my beer.
00:52:29
Speaker
You didn't even talk about my girl Rhea. She reappeared on NXT. See what I did there? Get a couple beers in and I start breaking out the comedy. I thought her appearance kind of really helped
00:52:51
Speaker
you know, me not feel so crappy about the ending of that match. Yeah. A DQ. I did love how she was telling EO like up the ramp. She's going, shut up. Shut up. It was just so funny. I don't know why I like tickled my funny bone. Like EO was like chasing behind her, like, you know, speaking Japanese and all of a sudden she's just like, shut up. Shut up. They had, we didn't talk about the championship match either with Adam Cole and Velveteen Dream, which is really, that was a really good match as well.
00:53:21
Speaker
Okay. Real quick, let me interject here. Did Velveteen Dream, I mean obviously you're innocent until proven guilty, but did we just kind of forget that he was supposedly allegedly messaging underage girls and sending them, you know, wiener pics or what?
00:53:46
Speaker
I don't know if these are. These might be taped, Sheena. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, that's the other thing, too. They might be. Yeah, I don't think they're not live. The only live show. Oh, you so right. You're so right. That's why I mean, that's a possibility that could have happened during that. They were just like, yeah, you're not going to win the title at this time because you're going to see a lot of like they did say, you know, see a lot of like NXT takeover type matches on regular TV because
00:54:12
Speaker
for the foreseeable future. There's not going to be an NXT takeover of pay-per-view right now. So you're going to see a lot of those, like the Io Shirai and Charlotte, and you're going to see a lot of those sets of matches on regular TV because of that. But yeah, they're all pre-taped. I'm not sure how far in advance they were. We'll find out next week. So he'll probably just disappear off TV like Gary Lawler in 1993. Yeah, we don't know.
00:54:38
Speaker
You don't know. We didn't talk about it last week on the show, but yeah, that was craziness. Obviously, innocent is proven guilty, and hopefully, all those things aren't happening. Yeah. And listen, I have a disclaimer for all of our listeners out there. Do not send nudes to people you don't really know. Come on, people. We are better than that. Especially, I mean, none of us really have celebrity status.
00:55:08
Speaker
If our like, you know, bits and bobs got like, you know, floated around the internet, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But you know, when you're, when you're freaking velveteen dream, you can't be sending pictures of little V out to the world. You know what I mean? Like it's, you just can't be a, especially with, with a voice memo attached.
00:55:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah. That was that was the freaking nail in the coffin. It's one thing if you're like, oh, yeah, somebody stole my pictures without my without my consent. I was sending some nudie duties to my girl. I got hacked. Yeah, I got hacked. You know what I mean? But at the same time, like, you know, when you say, hey, what school do you go to? Like, what school do you go to? That's really telling. Like, you know, this girl is in high school. Like, come on. Yeah, there's a there's a lot of people debunking like if that was him, actually, that like
00:55:57
Speaker
It was a lot of people coming to his defense saying that that didn't sound like him. Jocker, it was Marco doing an impersonation. Yeah, it was me. It was actually my velveteen dream impersonation now. I mean, yeah, there was a lot more people defending him than there were people accusing him of anything. More people in shop than anything, for what I've read anyway. There weren't people saying, no, that was definitely him. It was definitely him. It was more people just saying, wait,
00:56:24
Speaker
Like, which is kind of weird. Usually people just jump to the conclusion automatically and go, no, that's him. That's definitely him. But it was a lot of defenders and stuff like that. So I'm glad. Yeah, that is good to see because typically that's not the case. People are like, you know, calling for someone's head. The moment they slip up, you know, that's when fans are going to protect their own man. They're going to be like, no, man, that wasn't him. Yeah. I know what his dick looks like at him.
00:56:52
Speaker
He said B1. I've seen it. I've heard his voice before. I'm on his OnlyFans account. Speaking of which, a lot of OnlyFans accounts popping up here from some wrestling chicks, too. I think Drake Maverick's wife has an OnlyFans account now. Shut up. I don't think I'm a mess. You don't have to get nude on there to have an OnlyFans account. Oh, it's not a nude thing? OK, I thought it was like nudes.
00:57:20
Speaker
You do whatever you want. The website can't tell you what to sell people. I guess the idea behind Onlyfans is like Instagram and Twitter sometimes, they bogged down on any type of lewdness. So Onlyfans is a way for
00:57:41
Speaker
those people that want to show more, talk a little bit more, interact a little bit better, they have an OnlyFans account where they can actually interact with their fans and do that type of stuff. It's not necessarily a pornographic thing. Obviously porn takes over everything, so one person jumps into it, it's like a disease, it just like infests and that's what it becomes. But normally, the idea behind OnlyFans was, it's only for your fans. Say we wanted to do a Chick-Fully,
00:58:11
Speaker
OnlyFans is just being interactive. You know, by trying to see that. No, that's me and Phil. We interact with fans and we want to get a little bit more personal. We would open an OnlyFans account. Yeah. I'd be like hot, unshowered mother of two. Oh, my God. We have to start an OnlyFans account now. I'm putting open challenge out to everyone listening right now. OK, I've talked about this.
00:58:38
Speaker
If someone listening, a single male or female, I don't care, wants to sign up for the Tammy Stitch OnlyFans for $30 a month, I will pay you. You will sign up and you'll give us a full review on the Patreon episode of what went down and what you saw. Okay.
00:59:00
Speaker
I hope it's nothing like our buddy Zach Egolf imagines that it is. Oh, geez. No, that's all of my, that's burned to my memory forever that I can't unseat it at all. Yeah, there are some, there are some really, really disgusting gifts out there. If you guys haven't really dug deep into the world of, of gift dropping, there is some, there's some doozies out there. He didn't watch that fully. That's what it was.
00:59:26
Speaker
see the end result of it he just seemed like the first part they just posted it because he was like oh my god i don't believe that i think he was playing it off because our shocked reaction yeah i think highly of people i think i think good of everyone i think i think zach felt judged so he immediately backtracked and started like oh i didn't watch the whole gif dude in three seconds how did you not watch the whole thing
00:59:55
Speaker
Oh, yeah, why are people you like there's so much free pornography on the world? Why are people? Using websites like only I mean god bless them, you know like yeah, but yeah, but yeah It's amazing what people will pay for I mean seriously like the the stuff that like I've knew some
01:00:16
Speaker
chicks back in the day I didn't know them but I followed them on Twitter and I mean like the things that people would pay for for them they were they they were like Playboy models but then they ended up being like porn stars and I was just like oh my god like people are paying for like the most ridiculous things but yeah you have to tell us now what you're referring to here cuz
01:00:37
Speaker
We have to look it up. No, I think our show is unrated. If you're watching with your kids right now, you might want to turn the volume down. No, it's not that bad. But I'm just saying, people would pay for things like pictures of their feet or used underwear. I mean, that's not that uncommon. But I'm just like, that's the kind of stuff people are out there spending their money on. You know what I mean?
01:01:00
Speaker
No shade to anyone who's bought any used panties. I mean, I guess that that's your thing. That's your thing, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't get the feet thing either. But people, there's people out. I mean, I don't get it. My website's devoted to it, so. That's Rex Ryan. That's the Rex Ryan syndrome. Yeah, I forgot about that.
01:01:17
Speaker
Lacey Evans. Oh Lacey Evans like no. No, I don't agree with that at all. I just played the Lacey Evans. I wish I wish you guys could hear what I'm playing on the show. So, you know what's going on here. So yeah, that was a NXT AEW. We can get into real quick here. Cody stays on his winning streak. He's got five in a row now. We saw Nyla Rose and MJF return.
01:01:43
Speaker
Moxley attacked by the Dark Order and Brodie Lee, who's already getting a title shot now. Two indie darlings going head to head at the next AEW pay-per-view. Oh yeah, plus Vance Lance Archer against Cody Rhodes, a bunch of former WAF guys.
01:02:05
Speaker
Oh man. Well, the only thing that I want to talk about on AEW, um, is the fact that they are still tuning people up for $50 for this pay-per-view event that is going to be filmed in front of like no audience. No, like, I don't know. I just feel like during this time they should have like cut people a break. I mean, $30 tops. I was thinking they were going to charge people maybe like 15.99 or something. You know what I mean?
01:02:34
Speaker
But $50, that's a hard pill to swallow right now.
01:02:39
Speaker
I have a couple thoughts on this. If WWE did this, they would get shit on so hard for not letting. I mean, they had the network free for a while, and now it's like a free for the first month still, like it always is. But I don't think in 2020 I would pay for any pay-per-view outside of WrestleMania, WWE or AEW or anybody. That's a lot of money. And this card is garbage so far.
01:03:09
Speaker
A ladder match that we haven't heard who's in it. We got Dean Ambrose versus Luke Harper for the title. MJF returning against Jungle Boy, which will be, of course, I don't know if Jungle Boy's ever won a singles match. And then Cody versus Lance Archer. It just sounds like an episode of Dynamite.
01:03:27
Speaker
Yeah. Which is fine if you're on network for paying $9.99 and watching a bunch of cool documentaries and stuff. But to pay $50, I know they're not making any money right now. They haven't had a show for a while. But I don't know what to tell you.
01:03:42
Speaker
Yeah, I'm definitely, um, I mean, I've bought every AEW pay-per-view, so I mean, I can't say anything. You know what I mean? I'm a shill. I've bought in, but it, this one just feels different. I'm like, well, damn, you couldn't cut me a break this time. Like I bought every other pay-per-view that you guys have put on. And you know, now it's just going to be like, you know, taped. Is it going to be pre-taped or is it going to be live?
01:04:08
Speaker
It says live on pay-per-view, but that's the poster that came out when it was going to be, uh, from MGM grand. So I don't, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if it's going to be pre-taped or if it's going to be live, but regardless, like it's not going to be the same atmosphere that a pay-per-view event should have or, you know, regardless. So I think you should cut people a break. I think it'd be a good look for you. You know, Hey, get our pay-per-view for, you know, 20 bucks, 15 bucks, whatever, but like 50 bucks. Jesus.
01:04:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's steep, and a lot of people are out of work. I don't know how things were where you guys live, but I think one in every five people in Maryland here are now on employment. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm pretty lucky where I am to still have a job, but a lot of people aren't as lucky. So yeah, to charge 50 bucks for a show that's not the WrestleMania of AEW, whatever, it's going to be tough.
01:05:02
Speaker
We'll see what happens, and I'm sure there will be some illegal links floating around if you want to watch it. I'll hit you up if you do. But, you know, they're going to make money too. It's a business, but we don't have to buy it. Marco, you put Jake brings the snake to AEW. What does that mean? I didn't watch it, so what's, what did Jake, Jake the Snake Roberts, did he bring an actual snake to Dynamite?
01:05:29
Speaker
Marco. Oh, I think we might have lost Marco. Yeah, we're dropping. It's like a horror movie. We're dropping. Oh, yeah. No, no. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, no. So he actually brought the snake out. He actually had a live snake. So him and, so obviously, they're feuding with Cody. And obviously, if you're going to kill Cody, you feud with Brandi, who's also his valet or manager, as you want to call it. So she had kind of like a scathing promo before a Lance Archer's match.
01:05:59
Speaker
And so basically she gets involved. Britt Baker jumps over the rail, hits her from behind, knocks her out, pretty much. And they bring her into the ring. And then Jake goes and grabs his actual snake, Davian, Davian 5 or 6 or 7, depending on how many he's had. Yeah. He's like, knocks him out. It wasn't revelations, right? Yeah. Yeah, so she's laid out the ring. And he had the snake put it on her.
01:06:28
Speaker
Sega's crawling all over and stuff like that. It was actually, it was pretty cool. It was like, there was like old school, like Macho Man, Elizabeth type of vibes going on there. Yeah. I'm totally here for that. I have to go back and watch AEW from this week, but that sounds right. That sounds right up my alley. Yeah. The street fight was really good too. If you guys see that, those golf carts, people getting ran over and stuff like that, it was pretty awesome. There was a random family just taking pictures. I think that's why people were getting upset.
01:06:57
Speaker
They were following guidelines, as they say. But I know that the Street Fire was really good with Jericho. Oh, the sex gods, as they call them. So Jericho and Sammy Guevara versus Kenny Obega and Matt Hardy. That was really awesome. The inner circle came back together because you haven't seen them on TV together since God knows how long. So they all came back and the victory was there. So, yeah.
01:07:23
Speaker
I would actually go back and watch AEW, it was actually really good. And having people actually around the ring reacting to boobs and stuff like that, it makes it a hundred times better than what WWE is doing right now, just because there's people reacting to stuff.
01:07:40
Speaker
All right, let's get outside of the squared circle. This is sponsored by our good friends at Collar and Elbow. You can use code CHICK for 10% off there. A lot to talk about here. The first one I want to talk about is WWE is launching a show on A&E called the Quest for WWE Lost Treasures, where basically, I don't know if you've ever seen a show like
01:08:06
Speaker
American Pickers, where people just go around finding stuff. But I love American Pickers. I do too. That's a great show. But this sounds pretty similar to that. I'm just going to read the description of it real quickly here. It is.
01:08:24
Speaker
Throughout history, WWE's action-packed storylines have spawned iconic one-of-a-kind memorabilia guided by McMahon and Lavec, that's Stephanie and Triple H. The series will unearth these rare items in the hopes of preserving and sharing the legacy behind the memorabilia moments, the memorable moments in WWE history. So I guess they're kind of going around trying to find stuff.
01:08:48
Speaker
This sounds awesome. That also sounds like a great idea for Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins, who just left the company. If they would have kept them around, it would have been perfect for them. But what do you guys think? AKA Brian and Matt. Yeah, Brian and Matt. Yeah. Their government names, yeah. What do you think about this, Sheena? I mean, I think you would be perfect on this. I know you have two kids to take care of. But if they can work around your schedule, it'd be fun.
01:09:24
Speaker
you know, uh, carefree to fly around and just dig through people's stuff and get all up in their business and all that. But, um, I, I do think that this is a super, super cool idea for a show. I'm, I'm totally here for it because you, you guys know, I'm like super nostalgic. Like I, even outside of wrestling figures, like anything from, you know, the nineties and the eighties, like I'm super, super nostalgic for, uh, I'm stoked to see how it turns out.
01:09:41
Speaker
Yeah. Like I said, I don't know what this kind of show is going to look like in a post-COVID-19 world where it's not going to be as
01:09:51
Speaker
Yeah, we'll see. The AEW is already doing those biographies about I think it's Macho Man and Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels and a bunch of other wrestlers. So they seem to be partnering with the WWE quite a bit here. We talked about it a little bit. The Smackdown Hacker appeared on WWE Backstage.
WWE Feed Incident and Match Speculations
01:10:09
Speaker
They gave the coordinates of the Performance Center. Yeah, so they are. So basically they're doing their because they're all remote doing their show right now. They're not all together.
01:10:21
Speaker
Um, and the hacker took over all the feed and, um, basically did like the same thing they would do on Smackdown. The truth will be told type of thing. And then it gave the coordinates of the, the money in the bank, uh, the performance center, but they think they also, something might happen at money in the bank as well. So, uh, that was it. And then it just went back to the normal, the normal feed that they are with Christian and Renee and Eric Henry and Berkeley. So there's some, uh, some
01:10:48
Speaker
weird shenanigans going on with that. Still don't know who it is. Like I said, speculation last week was Ali and, who was it? It was Ali and someone else again.
01:11:00
Speaker
the other person. No, it's, yeah, CM Punk, 50-50 chance. Yeah. The Hacker account on Twitter sent out a tweet with a video, and it had the coordinates or an aerial view of an address. And one of them was some super smart nerd person looked it up. And I guess it was the coordinates to where Drew McIntyre grew up and where Jinder Mahal grew up in India, or where he was born or whatever.
01:11:28
Speaker
cool real quick something that we did not even touch on circling back since you guys are talking about money in the bank um they announced that money in the bank the men's and women's money in the bank ladder matches are going to be going on simultaneously like boat like both are going to be happening at the same time which i think
01:11:48
Speaker
I really can't imagine how this is going to even look or feel or, you know, I think there's a cool opportunity for some like really awesome spots, but I hope WWE capitalizes on that. But at the same time, I'm like, what if it just turns into like edge Randy Orton, like times a thousand? Do you know what I mean? Like, I would just be like, oh my God, no. But I don't know. I'm super pumped that I'm just curious, like,
01:12:17
Speaker
Is like, are we going to see some like, um, intergender, you know, like, is Nia Jax, I feel like she's the only one that could really, you know, get into an intergender type spot, you know, but I feel like, you know, are we going to see that at some point, like, you know, her.
01:12:32
Speaker
You know doing doing whatever the hell she does giving a leg drop to You know one of the guys in the money in the bank match, but yeah, I think it's super cool I wonder how it's all gonna play out and if and and if at the end are we gonna have like men and women? Both fighting in the mat in the ring at the end at the top of the you know Titan towers or whatever And like climbing ladders and shit and like jumping off and like I don't know Yeah
01:13:02
Speaker
I say just sit back, relax, and watch it just because they're going to do something cinematic just like they did with the Boneyard match or the Firefly Funhouse match. I think it's probably going to be as good or even better than both of those matches. Who knows?
01:13:17
Speaker
Yeah, I'm pumped. I have super high hopes for it. I hope it delivers. I hope it delivers because we've definitely seen that WWE is capable of putting on this type of cinematic pre-taped style short film match. So I hope that they give us something super freaking awesome.
01:13:34
Speaker
So there's only six matches on this card and then two of them are happening at the same time. Obviously that's going to be a longer match, but even if that match is, you know, an hour long, I don't know if this is going to be like a three hour car, which, you know, WrestleMania was nice where they broke it up like that.
01:13:50
Speaker
Yeah, I am here for short pay-per-views. That is one thing about the post-audience era that we're living in, is that I am here for the short shows. Give me the meat and potatoes, and then get in, get out.
The Revival's Departure and Wrestling Styles
01:14:06
Speaker
Yeah, they like to announce matches before the pay-per-view, too. So then expect Friday and Saturday, they'll announce pre-show matches, or they'll add matches to the card, or something like that. You never know.
01:14:19
Speaker
That could happen. We, uh, we didn't talk about this too much. The revival, which is now known as the revolt was on talk as Jericho last week. And, uh, yeah, I was hoping they were going to just drop a bunch of bombs and shit talk the WWE. And it was what? Mark the exact opposite. Yeah. Total, total opposite of, uh, of, uh, if you date back to the, uh, Dean Ambrose or John Moxley interview, where he just like fed up with everything and just like pretty much
01:14:49
Speaker
said it was like a tail, it was like a tail off. Yeah. So I think people expect, like, I think they do that. Like they do, like people are expecting them to like crap on WWE, but it was totally like about them, them personally, what was going on with themselves and I was going on with the company. Like the whole interview was like, what was going on with that mentally, um, with the company, how they weren't happy and how they do like the, you know, the tag team, the tag team, like the vision wasn't, you know, it's not, it's not a focal point of the company.
01:15:19
Speaker
Like they go back in the history of WWE. It's never been like a real big focal point. You'd have to go way back to like the heart foundation and the Bulldogs and the killer bees and the stripe strike force and that sort of stuff. Like after that, like there's really no focus on it. They, they were there. They felt like they wanted to bring that back. Like they wanted to be the forefront of the tag team like division and they, they were promised that at some point it didn't happen. Um, so basically they're just like, you know what, it's, it's not going to happen. So.
01:15:49
Speaker
They let it ride. They basically came out and said, we did whatever they told us to do with the itching powder and all that crazy stuff they were doing. They took it. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, they did all that stuff because they were promised that you guys are going to be the forefront of the division of that type of stuff. And they did point out, and I do remember that, towards the end of before they left, they were on the uprise. They were winning matches. And it was looking like they were going to go for the title at some point.
01:16:19
Speaker
which was going to happen. And they actually talk about that. Yeah, they say like, they said like, yeah, they were they were going to put us in like, they're going to give us the titles and all stuff. And then like, we didn't want to they basically said they didn't want to leave on a low note, like they didn't want to leave when they were losing 10 matches in a row. They wanted to wait to like to see if WWE was actually going to go fall through and they did fall through and they were like, you know what, we're not interested. And we just want to say so like they
01:16:44
Speaker
they went like the money they talked about they offered them a lot of money and they had like one of them I figured which one has a family and the other one doesn't so one of them has a family one of them doesn't and they were basically just like well one of them was just like I'm just gonna do what you want to do like you have a family you have people to take care of like whatever you want to do if you want to save the company I'll say if not
01:17:04
Speaker
If not, so it was like, it wasn't really like a shit on Vince McMahon, a shit on this person, shit on that person. The interview was focused more on what they were going through, like personally, as opposed to what they were going through professionally, which I appreciated. And they talked about, he even talked about, you know, like it was, it was really hard for them to turn down that amount of money. Like,
01:17:22
Speaker
and
01:17:41
Speaker
Yes, grandmother was like, you know, how much how much money can you really spend or how much money do you even really need? You know, it's like, yeah, visit your happiness. And they even talked about how Brett reached out to him, reached out to them and said, you know, he was he was proud of them for sending up for what they wanted and not just taking taking the money, you know, because it's easy just to take the money. But if you're going to be unhappy, like, is it really worth it? That was I thought was really cool. You know, and I mean, that's
01:18:07
Speaker
The revival, I mean, a lot of people love them. A lot of people hate them. They're not everybody's cup of tea, but they're really modeled after those tag teams like the Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs. Those are the types of tag teams that they are inspired by. They're not these high-flying, young bucks style tag teams. And I feel like, you know,
01:18:35
Speaker
That's kind of a lost art form. You know what I mean? I feel like nowadays like tag tag teams It's all about just being like the biggest spot fest that the highest flyer and you know dashing Dawson or you know cash in Whatever his name is Dak's wheeler, whatever whatever they are now They're they're just those traditional like, you know, what one's a power guy one's one's a you know tactical guy one's a move guy it's it's I think it's
01:19:04
Speaker
I enjoyed them. I know they're not Phil's cup of tea, but I, I really love the, I thought they were, I thought they were one of the best tag teams in WWE and they just never really got a fair shake at, you know, I mean, WWE, they made it, they, they said what they said, WWE does not prioritize tag team wrestling. So it just like that company, the company's just not a spot for them, you know? Yeah.
01:19:27
Speaker
They're boring as shit. So go to AW and let the fans turn on you there because they don't wrestle the coach. They were excellent at NXT. Come on. Yeah, they were great. I love the revival, man. They were like, I love that. They reminded me of like, I don't know, just these are like the brain busters, brain busters like Tully and Arden, like just like that type of wrestling is.
01:19:49
Speaker
just like grinding, like not like flipping all over the place and like, yeah, just like this, no flips. Isn't that what it is? Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll fix it. No flips area. He said he could do that stuff too. He just chose not to like he's like, and he said the Indies use flipping around, doing, doing sentence and doing, you know, everything, sunset flips and all that stuff. And he's here to say, I just, I don't want to do it. That's not what I want to be known for. I want to be known for just hard nose wrestling.
01:20:19
Speaker
And that's, that's a thing to say. Yeah, I respect the revival. A lot of people do. I mean, yeah, I can, I can totally see them going to, I mean, we always say this, you know, once somebody leaves WWE, but I really do think they would be a good fit in, in WWE or in AW. Sorry. Yeah, definitely.
01:20:38
Speaker
Yeah, they'll have one of those matches where there's 500 near falls and everyone will be fine. I wish them the best. If you don't have a personality.
01:20:53
Speaker
I don't know, I just never, I just never liked them. I just, it just run me the wrong way. Everything they've, you know, I don't know if everything that they, all the rumors about them complaining was just, uh, you know, from the dirt sheets. It sounds like maybe it was, but, uh, whatever, you know, um, wish them the best.
Cagefighter Film and Collectibles
01:21:09
Speaker
Um, Matt Cardona was on the busted open, uh, busted open radio on XM radio. I didn't know that. Yeah. He did an interview and he basically talked about like, you know, all the WWE stuff and stuff like that.
01:21:23
Speaker
you know, the hardships and the good times and all that stuff. Talked about the WrestleMania where you won the intercontinental title. He said that was like probably like the best thing in his career there that actually happened and stuff like that. And just say it was a really, it was a really good interview. Like that got pretty personal and stuff like that. So yeah, definitely take it. If you, you probably find it somewhere, I'm assuming if you don't have a Sirius XM, but I'm assuming someone pirated it somewhere.
01:21:51
Speaker
You can listen to me as really good interview and um, I like him. He's a good guy. He's, I mean, I listened, obviously listen to his show every week. So, um, he's a broski dude. I mean, I can't expect he's, he was a fan that lived his dream. And that's, that's pretty much what the, what, what his word was like, Hey, I did what I'm like, I set out to do. And.
01:22:13
Speaker
There's no hard feelings about it, essentially. And I'm excited to see what they're going to do with the podcast now. They have so much time to focus on it. I have a funny story about XM Radio. I have a friend who worked at, this was probably five, six years ago, he worked at XM Sirius as a producer.
01:22:31
Speaker
and he gave me his login to listen for free and my phone, I've upgraded my phone probably once or twice, definitely at least once since then, maybe twice to new iPhones and I've updated the apps and whatever. This XM app has not signed me out of this dude's account because I don't remember the password.
01:22:51
Speaker
I still have signed into this account. Every time I could listen to Howard Stern right now, I'd never really listen to XM. I just never think to, but props to the people that invented that app. So I don't have to log in every two days like every other app that you try to go to. So that's it for that. No plug for that. Jon Moxley in a new movie? What? Yeah. Have you seen the, it's called The Cage Fighter?
01:23:17
Speaker
Oh, really world's collide or something like that. So it's basically it's it's a w infuse. So he's he's so he's the a w world champion. And it's like, he ends up fighting an MMA somehow like so like, so like, some lady that's running an MMA promotion, wants to fight like their best fighter or something like that. And it says when he's, he's, he's the a w champion of the movie, but he's not john moxley. He's like a different name, which is kind of strange.
01:23:46
Speaker
There's a trailer off for it. I didn't put the link for it because I didn't think anyone would care to watch the trailer for it. It looks pretty good. Christian's in it, which is kind of crazy. Peeps Christian as well as like Chuck Liddell and obviously a lot of other MMA guys in there. If you're familiar with Luke Rockhole, he's in it as well. Yeah, I mean, it looks pretty decent. I mean, I mean, I'll probably watch it because I guess I have an action movie junkie, so I'll probably end up watching it.
01:24:16
Speaker
If I have to pay for it, I'm not. If it's on free streaming services, and I'll definitely do it, but it's pretty decent. Yeah, he's put his foot in the Hollywood door. He's gonna enjoy the ranks of The Rock and John Cena. John Cena, yeah. And the Miz. Yeah, the Miz, actually, that's true. He had the A-lister.
01:24:37
Speaker
Yeah, I'm hearing a lot of Oscar buzz for Cagefighter Worlds Collide. We'll see. We'll see. My girl Gina Garshan is in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I liked her a lot back in the day. Yeah, I mean, she's still there. She's so.
01:24:54
Speaker
Keep it together. It's going to be cool when you're a wrestler and you can go into like, you know, just dabble in kind of acting like that. You know, it's probably like, you know, really cool to like just say, you know, you can go back when you're an old guy and say, I was in a movie, you know, how many people can I say that? Look at Ed. She's a damn Viking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:25:12
Speaker
All right, well, let's get into our Go Figure segment. This is sponsored in part by our good friends at Ringside Collectibles. You can use code CHICKFOLY for 10% off of your order. Michael Anna was going to yell at me for not playing the Shane McMahon music, but my internet's being slow and I'll feel like looking it up. So let's get into our weekly purchases before we get into some bits of news here. Do you guys have any weekly purchases? Let's start with Sheendog.
01:25:41
Speaker
Um, weekly purchases, did I buy anything this week that was wrestling related? I bought a lot of shit this week, but it wasn't, none of it was wrestling related. Uh, yeah, I don't know. Uh, Mike Lanham. Oh, I have some news. Well, I know you guys already know, but I don't know if the fully fam out there in the full universe knows. Uh, but the heel husband and I are starting to scratch that Hasbro figure itch.
01:26:06
Speaker
It's it's been a long time coming. He's been he's been dropping like that You know the Hinsky's and he's like, you know over the years like I would really love to have a Hasbro collection one day I'm gonna have a Hasbro collection, you know what I mean? and Then it was he you know, we had to chat another day and obviously he's out to he's out to see but we were chatting and
01:26:26
Speaker
via the interwebs and he hit me with this like question uh it was like you know very serious he's like hey i gotta ask you something and i'm like oh whoa okay well we're getting serious here and he's like what do you think about starting a hasbro collection and so i obviously i agree i was like sure whatever the hell you want to do man like let's go for it and man i don't know what we've gotten ourselves into because it's
01:26:52
Speaker
It's a wild world out there, Hasbro's and Retro's. Did you guys ever have one before kids? Oh, yeah. Heel husband had every Hasbro. But they're all played with and beat all to hell, you know what I mean? He wants a good collection. They can be loose. The action doesn't have to work. The paint doesn't have to be perfect. But it can't be all jacked up, you know what I mean? But yeah, we definitely had Hasbro's as a kid.
01:27:22
Speaker
tons of Hasbro. So yeah, we'll have to go through his old collection and see what we can salvage, but I'm pretty sure all of his are like, like I said, pretty, pretty worn down.
01:27:34
Speaker
Yeah, we have to mention wrestlingtoytracker.com if you are getting into Hasbros, or Galoobs, or LJNs, or Bendoms, or the Retros. It's a good website to track prices. It kind of gives you a link. You can click on each picture. It'll tell you what they're going for on eBay, Loose, and Mint on Card.
01:27:54
Speaker
And I am too away from completing my collection. And I want to give a shout out to our buddy, Figure Finder on Instagram. I told him about your Hasbro diving into the Hasbro thing. He told me to have you reach out to him. Oh, sweet. Yeah, he's got some good stuff. And we talked about a bunch of people on last week's episode. If you're in quarantine trying to fill out your collection, a bunch of good accounts. So if you didn't listen to last week's episode, go back and listen to that.
01:28:22
Speaker
But yeah, the Hasbro's, man, they're my favorite line of figures. I think it's mainly because of just the feels I get from looking at them. Oh, the nostalgia is insane with those figures. I mean, they're just- They're beautiful too. They're just like little-
01:28:36
Speaker
Oh, speaking of Hasbro's, hold on, I gotta pull up this guy. Did we talk about this guy's account last week? I'm pretty sure that we did. I feel like it's been, okay. Okay, yeah, so go back and listen to last week. I was talking about AJ, Custom Figs, I think is his name. We talked about his display and yeah, Adot Jones, WWF Customs, dude has got a sick ass retro, or sorry, a Hasbro collection and like display, so yeah.
01:29:07
Speaker
Marco, you were looking. So, yeah, I think our buddy has tell I've bought a bunch of Hasbro from him. Hopefully he'll be into selling some of those next week when he jumps into our Facebook group. Marco, you were looking to get you were looking for a has a retro ring this week, right? Are you still on the on the hunt for that? Or did you purchase one? No, I didn't purchase one. I was just like trying to like trying to figure out where to like start pretty much like what the groundwork is going to be because
01:29:35
Speaker
And actually like trying to find out what like the first figure when I like actually go for that's the other Part of it, too So it's like seems like it's a lot of it's a lot of work like I was looking at like retros and looking at Hasbro's and the retros are like pretty much becoming
01:29:50
Speaker
at the same price point as Hasbro's right now, which is kind of crazy. I know. I can literally kick the heel husband's butt because I'm like, dude, do you know how many retros I walked past every single week of my life? And we weren't collecting them. We would get people on the group and stuff. But we weren't looking for ourselves. I mean, I literally passed up tons of retros.
01:30:16
Speaker
Now I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah, the rings to the rings are like a hundred dollars. I could jump up to two hundred. Now, like some of the figures are like up to 50, 50 dollars. It's like it's like it's like, how do you? Where do you where do you start? So like my idea, what I want to do is just since I have a like I'm doing a warrior collection by what I want to do is start buying the Hasbro's, the warrior Hasbro. So like all the series. That's what I want to start. So that's my starting point there that like spread out from there.
01:30:46
Speaker
So obviously, Star Wars series 1, 2, 3, that type of thing. I've seen a couple on Edward Bay that are pretty good price points. It was one from Italy. I'm not sure how long it would take to get there. Are you collecting MOC, or are you going to go loosey-goosey? I'll go loose. I don't need MOC, especially with Hasbros, no. Yeah. I'll go loose, loose, has. I mean, pretty much loose anything right now.
01:31:12
Speaker
Like kind of like the evolution of the Warriors. So like I have my LJN, uh, do the Hasbro, the Jax and the Mattel and all that stuff. So I have like a pretty good like gamut of, of the, like the run of the gamut for the Warriors. So I see like the Hasbro and a few Jax, but yeah, I figured I'd just start with like the, the Warrior Hasbros to start off the collection and then spread out from there. They'd probably do like the Hogan's and the Macho's and
01:31:40
Speaker
Yeah, those aren't too bad to buy. Those were so well circulated. The Hasbro, Hogans, and Machos, and Warriors are not that much expensive. Yeah, so yeah, I would start with that. I remember going into Ollie's like a year and a half ago, and they had the Retro Series 2, like the Mankind, Kane, and Rock, and Sting ones. And they were like either $3 or $5. And I bought a couple, but I should have just bought all of them, man.
01:32:11
Speaker
Or on But I have a couple of the Hasbro of the the Mattel retro rings, but they're expensive a shit to ship I mean they cost like 17 bucks to ship yeah, but if you need one yeah, but might be able to hook you up Anything else you know I'm sorry we glanced after you talked about has rose in anything other purchases um
01:32:33
Speaker
No, yeah, no, uh, Mike Lanham is sending me some, um, some Hasbro's, uh, honestly, like I have to go back and look, but, uh, yeah, he's hooking me up with some, some of his duplicates. So, you know, we're getting this, we're getting this collection rolling and I'm pretty sure I have some coming in the mail. Uh, the heel husband, I've looked on our like UPS, like delivery thing. Like I got to eat, I get emails like what's coming in the mail and I'm pretty sure there's some, some Hasbro's coming. I don't know what exactly they are, but, um, I have a feeling they're
01:33:02
Speaker
That's what they are. Nice. Marco, anything else from you? No, that's it. Now, the week's been pretty dry. It's mainly just been trying to do some research on the Hasbro collection. Very nice. Maybe next week. I've been seeing and hearing people talk about some figures really escalating in price with everybody home with quarantine, people getting the stimulus checks. Figures are just going crazy.
01:33:31
Speaker
I threw up my buddy Murphy Chase variant with the black shorts up on eBay. If someone's going to pay for this, I've got no emotional connection to this figure. It doesn't fit any of my collection that I'm currently building. It's just a cool figure. So I was like, if this sells, it sells, whatever. I don't really care. It doesn't cost me anything to post something to eBay. Someone bought it for $95.
01:34:02
Speaker
Yeah, a Buddy Murphy figure? A Buddy Murphy elite MOC with black shorts. And I have never put something in the mail faster in my life. So that one is, I guess it's become really hard to get.
01:34:17
Speaker
Um, but, uh, I had no, I'm, I'm still, who knew? Yeah. I mean, uh, I've been wanting trends on, uh, on eBay and that that's for sure. But I'm, I'm trying to save up for that one, two, three kid Hasbro, which has been going for, you know, three, four, $500. So I figured, you know, let me, uh, let me cut out some stuff. And if I can, if I get a hundred bucks for a figure, I don't really give a two shits about, you know, so, uh, this is, you know, if you have anything to sell right now, guys, if you're listening,
01:34:43
Speaker
It's a good time to do it because there's people with that stimulus check. People are just ready to spend some stupid money. I did sell that, so that wasn't anything I bought, but hopefully I'll use that money to buy something. I found two. I was at Target, I think, for cat litter or something. I forget what it was for.
01:35:01
Speaker
I found two Macho King Royal Rumble leads on the pegs. I guess they had probably just been sitting in the back because there was nothing else on the pegs. And I was able to hook up our buddy Daris here locally here. I hid that behind some ugly blankets in the bedding section at Target. And the other one I sent out to our buddy Alan Keohan.
01:35:25
Speaker
Oh my god, how long has Alan been with us? I know, I've sent him like 500 figures so far. Alan K. I would just call him AK. AK, AK47, yeah. So I was able to hook up a couple of fully family members with those. Just today I got the
01:35:46
Speaker
Macho Man Basic, the most recent basic. I think that was from like 94 or 95. That was from our good buddy J&J company figures. That's J&JCOfigures on Instagram. He is also in our Patreon group, but he sells figures all the time on Twitter and Instagram and picked that up from him loose. And I got the Macho Man Fan Pack.
01:36:10
Speaker
and
01:36:30
Speaker
the Ninja Turtles Macho Man, the Masters of the Universe Macho Man. I want to get some cool different package figures. I got the Funko. I got a couple WCW figures. You got the Pink Funko or the Orange? Let's see which one do I have. I got the Orange with the white stars on the hat. Probably the one that's not worth as much.
01:36:52
Speaker
so but uh... it's been a it's been a fun question you know i got the four has rose i got the two retros i got a couple defining moments so uh... that collection is growing uh... pretty rapidly uh...
01:37:03
Speaker
Other than that, you're going to have to get the Jax, like the Macho Man robe, like the entrance robe. Have you seen that? I know. That was at Toys R Us when they were shutting down. It was like, yeah, man, 10, 15. But I know you got the Ric Flair one. I got both. You got both? Oh, damn. Oh, yeah, dog. Oh, yeah. I rock both. You know, I love me. I love me a good costume piece.
01:37:23
Speaker
Yeah, I need that tonight. When I get out of bed in the morning, make a coffee in like the Macho Man robe, that'd be pretty sick. Totally, yes. So what else? Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this yard sale on Sunday. I wanted to go over with you guys what we want to have as kind of the rule. So anybody can post anything.
01:37:41
Speaker
but if
01:38:03
Speaker
Prices for in shipping and all that kind of stuff. So Yeah, other than that. I didn't purchase anything besides that I'm really I'm hoping these elite 76 is from ringside collectible start shipping to us pretty soon We saw some some good images of those and we saw both the Christians I saw the Cena and the Braun Strowman and the heavy machinery figures. So those look like they're coming pretty cool and
01:38:28
Speaker
Uh, pretty soon, uh, the Lacey Evans looks pretty nice. So, uh, hopefully that comes out. And I think people are starting to get the, uh, basic one of the sevens with the Bianca Belair.
01:38:39
Speaker
And people are complaining on the internet, if you can believe it, which doesn't happen too often. Well, people complain on the internet? Yeah, about the Bianca Belair Basic being $21.99 on the Ringside Collectibles website, Sheena. But I just want to let those people know that you don't have to buy it from Ringside Collectibles.
01:38:59
Speaker
Just like you don't have to go see a movie in the movie theater for $15 a ticket, you can wait for it three months or four months later to be on Redbox and rent it for $1.50. You're paying a premium to get it before everybody else.
01:39:15
Speaker
And and and you're sure like the thing is is you're like for sure gonna get it You're not for sure gonna get it when you go to 25 Walmart's and spend all your time, you know hunting and pounding the pavement You know what I mean? Especially during a pandemic when you shouldn't be out and about unless you need to anyway, you know what I mean? So I
01:39:36
Speaker
To me, it's worth the markup to know that I'm going to get it, that I'm going to have it, that I'm not going to get a virus from it. The peace of mind is worth it to me.
01:39:51
Speaker
because I 100% believe that figure is going to be hard to find. I may eat my words and it may be like that Charlotte Flair style peg warmer, but I'm pretty sure that Bianca figure is going to be a hot ticket item once it starts hitting the shelves.
01:40:06
Speaker
Yeah, I just don't understand the people. Ringside Collectibles is not your only option. I don't want to just support them because they sponsor a show. But that's not the only way you can get figures. You can wait for them to come out in the store and get them for $10. But like you said, is the Walmart employee going to bash the hell out of the box? Yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too, fam. You know what I mean?
01:40:29
Speaker
Yeah, you can have it. You can have it early and you can have it, you know, you can have it for sure. Or you can take chances out there, out there in the world. Like, you know, it's four or five dollars on gas to find it and all that. Well, not four or five dollars these days. Yeah. I filled up my whole truck for seventeen dollars the other day and I was like, what the hell?
Economic Trends and Entertainment
01:40:49
Speaker
What world are we living in?
01:40:51
Speaker
This is insane. I don't think I've ever just put $17 worth of gas in any vehicle that I've owned in the last freaking decade. Yeah, that has been pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah. Can't complain about that. So yeah, I just wanted to address that option for people because people are complaining about that. So, you know.
01:41:08
Speaker
It's just about supply and demand. You know, if you don't like it, wait, wait for it to show up and target or Walmart and buy it there. I think it's going to be a pretty just like the fiend figure. The fiend figure was $24.99, whatever it was. But I mean, that's going to be hard as hell to get in stores. And when will it get in stores? I mean, we haven't seen stores are not getting, you know, they're not prioritizing toys right now to come. Right. I don't think it's even going to be in the summertime.
01:41:33
Speaker
You know, maybe some stores depending on the area that you're in some stores are marking off non-essential aisles. Did you know that? Like like certain Walmart's and targets and stuff are like like barricading off non-essential aisles like toys and Things that don't fall under that category So, you know, yeah, you may not you may not get it in your area who freaking knows, you know, this is we're an unprecedented waters here So if you really want something and you know
01:42:02
Speaker
It's worthy of charge. There you go. And you can always use our code. Jekyll, it's 10% off. 10% off, yeah. Exactly. And you can send a picture to us of your order, and you might win something from us. So. But show. Bada bing, bada boom. That's really all the news. I don't think we had too much. This is kind of a lull period right now. As we get into the summertime, maybe we'll see some releases around summer slam. But with everything going on, you have no idea what's going to happen.
01:42:30
Speaker
I did see some pictures of that Wreck-It ambulance, some website, I think Entertainment Earth was selling that, entertainmentearth.com, a pre-order for that. And I went on the website, I was like, oh, this looks cool, I'm sure Nash would love this. It was like 40 bucks, which I was like, oh, okay, I'll just wait, I don't need this right now, I'm gonna wait for this to show up at Target in like four or five months. They have, not to shit on any website, that's not Ringside, they have the Nia Jax Elite on pre-order on Entertainment Earth. That figure is like,
01:43:00
Speaker
two years old. Yeah. I couldn't even believe it. I was like, what? I had to like do a double take. Yeah. Is this, is this for real? So, um, ring, ringside is the goat, the best place to go. Wrestlingfigures.com. Uh, everybody knows it. Even if you're not going to admit it, um, it's the, it's the, it's the, the go-to shop for anything wrestling related. Uh, so check them out. Um, any other figure news before we move on guys? I don't think I have any, uh, no, I'm, I think I'm good to go.
01:43:30
Speaker

01:44:17
Speaker
Marco yeah, and they do like see they do like seasonal designs and stuff too So yeah, like he said even if you're not in the WWE this stuff is so cute
01:44:24
Speaker
We don't associate with anybody who does not make, you know, obviously ringside, chalk line, homage. These websites are ones that we use already that we have used before and we verify with the Chick-Fully seal of approval. So they're not going to fly by night. People here, but let's give me some quarantine and chill options for the listeners.
01:44:49
Speaker
I have a did we have we talked about the last dance the Michael Jordan documentary like a miniseries Yeah, that's it's not it's not it's on Netflix I have not started it yet, but it's definitely on my list I might wait till the heel husband gets home because that's definitely a thing that I feel like him and I would enjoy together but I've heard nothing but great things about the
01:45:13
Speaker
This little mini series that they're doing about it's like the particular. It's like a 97 98 Chicago Bulls season, so I Think that is a really good recommendation again. I can't speak for it cuz I haven't seen it myself, but Word on the street is it's really good. Have you seen it Marco? Yeah, they I mean it's it's basically is uh, I mean they do talk about that, but they also told me like his earlier. Yeah career stuff like so good, dude Yeah, each episode. Yeah, it's kind of like
01:45:43
Speaker
Each episode they go, they do a certain topic about his career. Like the last episode was about like the gambling and all that stuff. Before that, it was about like, they did a little like Tony Kukoch and like how he came into the fold of the Bulls and stuff like that.
01:45:59
Speaker
The demo with Isaiah Thomas of the USA team and why he wasn't. Is it not Kukak? Is it Kukak? I say Kukak. It's Kukak, so I always thought it was Kukak. Yeah, it's Kukak. It's not Kukak. Did you think it was Kukak? I thought it was Kukak. No, not Kukak. I thought it was Kukak. We'll see it, yeah. No, Kukak. Kukak. Kukak. Yeah, we keep it PG around here, Kukak. I'm gonna say Kukak.
01:46:26
Speaker
But yeah, it's a really good doctor. I mean, I'm a huge Michael Jordan fan. I actually have like, I have a bunch of like trading cards. I'm not sure if they're worth anything. But like, literally when I was like in middle school, which was when he was like, huge, like I literally have like, rookie cards of like,
01:46:44
Speaker
pretty much his whole, I think it's the whole gamut of his career pretty much. We literally, when we moved from, we moved from Hawaii to Virginia, it had been out in our garage forever, but the heel husband finally got rid of, he had huge binders full of like basketball cards, tons of them.
01:47:00
Speaker
Yeah, where you know Michael Jordan cards, but yeah, it's pretty fun. We looked through to make sure there was nothing like super rare that we were like, you know, just throwing away like treasures or something like that. But yeah, we finally were just like, how long are we going to carry these these basketball cards around? You know what I mean? So we finally ditched them. But you know, we donated like throw them in the trash. But yeah, it's pretty is pretty funny. He had a pretty massive collection.
01:47:26
Speaker
Yeah, they just like the just like the Michael Jordan has the last dance. You have the I don't take it the last ride, which is starts this Sunday. I'm assuming after my transition. Yeah, they had. Thank you. They had that preview that they did after Wrestle Media, the second Wrestle Media, which is right. I was like, I wish they just like put all the episodes up that night because I would have watched probably that whole thing all day long. I probably wouldn't want to. Yeah, because he's obviously you never seen it to take away.
01:47:56
Speaker
like being a human being. Yeah. You see him and you see him speaking like, you know, it's like, Oh my God, this guy's so, so interesting. He's just like, he's even more like, obviously he's like, like mythological as the undertaker, but now like he's actually like speaking and stuff like that. You're like, he's even more of like, uh, he's a Michael Jordan of wrestling. We'll say, how about that? I agree with that assessment. Yeah. I mean, he's had the undefeated streak at WrestleMania, like,
01:48:25
Speaker
I mean, he's beaten them all. He's been in the ring with everybody. Yeah. I don't think there's like a new, like even in this current generation, he's been in the ring with Roman Reigns and like Brock Lesnar and all that. Like Seth Rollins. Yes. No, I don't even, has he been in the ring with Seth Rollins at all? No, they haven't, they've not, they haven't ever faced off. Did they, did they put him through a table? Did they do the triple power bomb to undertake or was it Kane? They did it too.
01:48:53
Speaker
The cane. They've definitely done it to cane. Yeah, they've definitely done it to cane. But I don't know. I do not remember. If that happened, please add us. But I have not. I don't remember them doing that to Undertaker. Yeah, no, definitely. Yeah, definitely. That's something I'm looking forward to watch. I mean, I haven't been watching anything recent. I've been trying to think of things where other people watch if they haven't yet. So I would probably definitely say the wire. If you haven't watched the wire at all, now's a good time.
01:49:23
Speaker
It was an HBO show, probably one of the best shows they've ever done besides like the Sopranos and the Sopranos. If you haven't seen the Sopranos at all, definitely jump into that. It's free right now on HBO, right? Yeah. You don't even have to have it. You don't even have to HBO subscription. You can watch Sopranos for free. So if you've never seen it, like I'm so jealous of you because you're in for just like the ride of your life. Like some of the best, the best TV that you'll ever, ever watch.
01:49:49
Speaker
James Gandolfini, RIP, one of the best actors at that point in time was just amazing. Just unbelievable. Other than that, I'll probably say Westworld, but
01:50:03
Speaker
I feel some people are like, oh, you need to you need to have a degree to watch Westworld, which is me. That's my voice. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, I'm stupid. Yeah, it was way over my head on the first season. And it wasn't even like it was so complicated. Like the first season I watched and I enjoyed it. But like I didn't have any feelings for any of those people because I like they're like they're robots like that. I don't have. I don't know. Are they robots?
01:50:31
Speaker
Well, I don't know because it was too confusing. The only robot that I've ever really fell in love with is Wally. And like, you know, other than that, those people had no like I just had no emotional connection with those. Actually, actually, Johnny Five. I take that back. Johnny Five. Johnny Five. Yeah, of course. But yeah, definitely. Yeah. Westworld, I'm a sci fi. Not only am I an action junkie, but I am also a sci fi junkie. So I do love
01:50:59
Speaker
sci-fi movies and shows so uh... definitely westworld if you're into that type of stuff if you like the matrix and you'd like to be confused by everything and try to figure stuff out definitely westworld is a is a good one but uh... that's it for me well yeah uh... i do want to give a shout out to one of our uh... face book members are fully family members martin mandela morrow he actually has a comedy album out i downloaded it once uh... yeah yeah yeah he's a comedian he's uh... based on l.a.
01:51:28
Speaker
And it's pretty funny, man. It's like five bucks. It was a good hour show. And it was on iTunes, so you don't have to go anywhere weird to download it. So thank you, Martin. It made my drive around town tolerable this week. I did want to talk about a post that you put onto the Facebook page, Marco, where one of those, you can only pick three type things. It was nine movies.
01:51:52
Speaker
Oh, yeah, the comedy one. Yeah, that was a huge controversy on that one. Yeah, it was. I just want to make sure all three of you, at least I know you've probably seen a Marco, but Sheena, have you seen all these movies? So it was Superbad, Caddyshack, Anchorman. You in so far, Sheena? Yep, yep. Okay, Bridesmaids, Step Brothers, Billy Madison. Yep, yep. 40 Old Virgin, 21 Jump Street, and Coming to America. Yes. Okay, good.
01:52:18
Speaker
the the
01:52:34
Speaker
Yeah, it's definitely at the bottom of that total bowl for sure. Yeah, I agree. It's rewatchable, though, because it's newer, so the jokes aren't as played out. But yeah, I agree with you there. Oh, dude, I don't know. I mean, well, I don't know. When you go back and watch 40-Year-Old Virgin, now there's some parts that make you kind of go like, ew.
01:52:52
Speaker
You know, like that would definitely not get over in 2020, you know, same was super bad. Some of like the the jokes and like the like crass moments. You're like, oh, God, like, you know, you kind of feel a little bit uncomfortable, whereas like in 2002 or whenever the hell this stuff came out, you know, I can't I can't remember. You're just like, oh, you're laughing. And now you feel bad for life. Yeah. Yeah. I went after a 40 year old virgin. Like I love that movie only because I worked at Best Buy.
01:53:20
Speaker
and they worked at an electronics store, and literally everything they did there. I remember us watching that movie, going back the next day at work, and just like, oh my god, it's so accurate. Literally everything they did there was pretty much to the T. It's one of my favorite freaking spot on movies. And listen, let me just say, I'm a woman, so I can say this. But everything in his life was going just fine. He was happy as a clam.
01:53:48
Speaker
until he introduced women into his life and then shit just hit the fan. He was happy living with his action figures and his video games and his bottle of lotion. I mean he was completely satisfied and then all of a sudden
01:54:07
Speaker
He got introduced to women and I just all came in and I look for him. So I do have one recommended I don't know if I recommend this movie but I mean I think I think everyone needs to see it if you want maybe one of the most depressing movies that you've ever seen in your life.
01:54:23
Speaker
Yeah, I love those. Sometimes you need a good, like, drama, like a crying drama. So this is a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. So I mean, people seem to like this movie. Tomatios? Tomatios, yeah. That's how I say it now. Manchester by the Sea is now streaming on Prime Video. And it is super depressing, but it did get the lead actor, the Academy Award for Best Actor. I think that's Casey Affleck.
01:54:50
Speaker
is the guy in it. But yeah, it is probably just, you know, you're just going to watch it and you're never going to want to ever hear about this movie again. But if you needed something to watch, I mean, it literally is just like there's nothing funny. There's no jokes. It's just like, you know, from beginning to end, just a terrible recommendation. What do you think? Sometimes you need you can't have like comedies all day. You have to have like a movie that makes you cry a little bit.
01:55:16
Speaker
Life right now is a crying drama. OK, like we are living in the midst of a a horrible drama that makes us all like depressed.
01:55:27
Speaker
The last thing we need to do is like, you know, form some sort of like depression matrix where we just like completely, you know, just dive in head first. Well, on the other side of the coin, what if this guy's life is better, is worse than yours? Then you're like, Oh shit, at least I'm not like that guy in that movie. Like I'm just like stuck. What if you're telling all these people how horrible this movie is? Oh man, my life is, my life is actually worse than this. It's not horrible. It's just, it's just a sad, like it's just not an uplifting. It's not like pursuit of happiness or anything.
01:55:57
Speaker
Yeah. While you're at it, just go watch Old Yeller. Go watch. That's a good movie. Hey, you know, like, you know, sometimes you need to watch Milo and Otis if you want to as well. What movie did I cry in recently? Oh, um, Onward. Yeah. Onward. Yeah. Have people been watching that? Yeah. What's the Julia Roberts movie where she's got diabetes? Pretty woman. Jesus. No, not pretty woman. Steel Magnolias. Yeah. Go watch Steel Magnolias. Go watch Old Yeller. Go watch One If by the Sea or whatever the hell this thing is. It feels recommending to you people.
01:56:27
Speaker
Oh, I do have another one. Dead to Me comes on season two tomorrow. Season two, yeah. Yeah, tomorrow. And then also the new show Space Force, which is by the guys that made The Office and star Steve Carell finally got a trailer, and that is dropping on May 29, so in a couple weeks. Sweet. Yeah, some good stuff there. So yeah, a lot of stuff to watch.
01:56:49
Speaker
And in our Facebook group, we do some cool watch-alongs. And sometimes I'll just find a link in Facebook that I have a complete match to a WWE match. And I'll just hit the watch. There's a cool watch button. We can all just watch together and comment, have a little chat box. So that's something we do, too, with little wrestling matches.
01:57:09
Speaker
Yeah, I know it's tough for people that aren't working right now. At least I can get out of the house. I actually enjoy getting out of the house and going to work now. As we have to talk about, I guess Marco didn't watch it. Marco did watch it. He's running to the bathroom really quickly.
01:57:25
Speaker
uh dark side of the ring maybe one of the craziest episodes uh i've ever seen sheena you have to go and watch this this weekend yeah it is on my it is on my weekend watch list for sure i gotta get caught up um my my mother-in-law who's been self isolating for like the last
01:57:42
Speaker
six weeks. She's been off work and everything. She came out here to like offer me a, you know, lend me a hand with the kids and, you know, just come visit them and stuff. So it's been, it's been really nice. She got here tonight, so I'm going to actually get to sit down and like watch some things in peace and actually be able to focus on them. So I'm pretty pumped about that. You know, it's the little things.
01:58:03
Speaker
Now, you tell Mrs. Phelps, I said, hi, I've seen you and Seth post photos of her. She's a very attractive older lady. Well, first of all, you don't call women older ladies. Second of all, I will give her your compliment. Third of all, yeah, she's a pretty good looking little mom, you know what I mean?
01:58:20
Speaker
Yeah, no complaints. But yeah, it's a crazy episode. It's about Herb Abrams who started the UWF, which I had never the best episodes of Dark Side of the Ring is when I don't know anything about the subject matter at all.
Herb Abrams and Wrestling History
01:58:33
Speaker
And this was like in like 92 93 started to try to start a wrestling promotion to compete against WWF. And he just did a ton of cocaine and banged hookers instead of paying the wrestlers. Wow. And it goes down from there. But
01:58:50
Speaker
Yeah, pretty crazy story. Definitely check it out. Into our random merch of the week. And this is a good one because this is a guy who we talked about earlier is just now joining the Foley family, the Mad Reaper.
01:59:08
Speaker
Right? It's a custom Owen Hart collection that he posted, right, Sheena? Oh, yeah. Sorry. I thought you were talking to Marco. It might be. No, he's gone. We're dropping flies here. We keep rolling out. We keep coming in and out. Jesus, man. But yeah, so last year, I can't remember exactly when it was, the Mad Reaper and Showstopper Customs put out these
01:59:31
Speaker
Owen Hart Customs. So obviously we know we're not getting a Mattel Owen Hart anytime in the near future.
01:59:39
Speaker
butt freaking uh showstopper and mad reaper came together showstopper made the the bodies like did all the paint work and everything and then mad reaper uh molded all the heads like hand molded all the head sculpts and they put together a series of uh own heart figures and they're so freaking dope he's putting him he's putting together a part two this summer he he lists everything on ebay so if you're ever wanting anything from mad reaper um he does do some commissions but he just does them you know on a
02:00:07
Speaker
Case-by-case basis depending on what he's got going on. He's not open for commissions like all the time I don't think I think he does it more as like a passion project in a hobby and I think he doesn't want to get like bogged down with commissions and where it becomes like a chore because he also has like a regular old full-time job, you know like like the rest of us so
02:00:27
Speaker
Yeah, we actually bid on the Blue Blazer one, like that's the one that we wanted for our collection was the Owen Blue Blazer, because we do have a custom Owen already that we love, but we needed that Blue Blazer figure, and it just got, it got a little too rich for my blood, but I'm hoping one day to get my hands, maybe this summer, to get our hands on a Blue Blazer Owen. But yeah, if you haven't seen him, he actually just posted a picture of them, because it's Owen Hart's birthday today. He would have been 55 years old, so he posted a picture of
02:00:56
Speaker
all of the Owen figures that him and Showstopper Customs made on his Instagram feed. So definitely go check those out. Isn't that crazy? He would have only been 55 years old. I mean, the Undertaker is what? He's 55 as well. So he legitimately could still be wrestling right now. Yeah. That's what I told Mike Lane earlier in our chat. We were talking about Owen Hart.
02:01:21
Speaker
You know, it just, it was a very striking, you know, I mean, I said, think about how long Owen has been gone. And the fact that he would have only been 55 today, you know, like it's, it's unthinkable. Cause I, you know, as a kid, when you think of somebody that's like in their thirties, I mean, he was like early thirties, right? Like, how old was he? 32, 33.
02:01:40
Speaker
When he passed away? Yeah. So it's just like, um, you know, when you're younger, you're like, Oh, he was 30, you know, but now that I'm in my thirties, I'm like, Oh my God, he was so young. You know, it's just, it's so eyeopening as an adult, how, how young he actually wasn't the actual, the scope of the tragedy that was his, was his death. So.
02:02:02
Speaker
pretty freaking crazy. Uh, but yeah, check out, check out those figures and we'll get into our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. This is sponsored by our buddies over at pro wrestling tee. So make sure you check out the chick fully shop. Cause we have some really super dope, uh, new designs in there that our friend Nick over at extra cooler made us. So, um, check those out, support the show. This is money in the bank ladder match from wrestle mania 24 feel. What do you have on this? Uh,
02:02:31
Speaker
this match you remember this match this match is like you know i don't think i i don't have any this is marco's oh it's marco calling back in marco's back in the uh... this is uh... this was was this the first one i think this may have been the i was going to say i think this is the first money in the bank because it was at wrestle at wrestlemania that the only money in the bank
02:02:49
Speaker
that I remember being at WrestleMania, correct? Yeah, it was with Christian. Yeah, it was. It was with Christian. No, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, Swagger, McIntyre. Oh my God, a lot of people. Kane, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy, MVP, Dolph Ziggler, and Evan Bourne. What the hell? Am I reading this right, Marco? Or is that WrestleMania? No, you're actually reading the first one.
02:03:16
Speaker
This is the one with, I believe it was WrestleMania 24. And it was the- I hate when people make these fake flyers on like, you know, when it's like a dream match or something, yeah. Yeah, it was Chris Jericho, CM Punk, John Morrison, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin. And spoiler alert, CM Punk wins. And then he cashes it on Edge.
02:03:46
Speaker
I believe the next night on Raw. He only had a 50-50 chance, and he capitalized. Yeah. I picked this one because it was like the most, at the time, it was like the most action-packed out of all of them. They only had 15 minutes. It was 15 minutes and 12 seconds, the whole match. But it was just the whole match, like from beginning to end, there was no slow points. Like if you watch any of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view letter matches that happened, there are like 27
02:04:13
Speaker
Almost 30 minutes long, but there's like a lull in it. This one is just like action packed from top to bottom. Um, definitely go and you get all the high fires. Any of like John Morrison, you have Mr. Kennedy of MVP at the time, Sheldon Benjamin.
02:04:28
Speaker
stuff like that. So yeah, definitely, definitely check that out. And it fits in the theme. Yeah. Benjamin had some badass spots in this match that he was kind of his coming out party. And like you said, CM Punk wins it. So, uh, yeah, surprising 15 minutes. That's pretty short for a, uh, money in the bank. Yeah.
02:04:47
Speaker
I like the fact that Kane won, in the pre-show, Kane won a battle royal to become the number one contender to the ECW Championship, and then won the title later in the night in 11 seconds from Chavo Guerrero. Probably the highlight of his career to win that ECW Championship, man. They were really pushing that thing. This was the night we saw Shawn Michaels versus Ric Flair, was probably the biggest match from this, and then the Randy Orton and John Cena, Triple H, Triple Threat.
02:05:17
Speaker
And a really good Undertaker match against Edge in the main event here. So pretty good WrestleMania from Orlando, right? Yeah. Good stuff, man. Good pick, good pick. So make sure to hit us up. If you have a retro wrestling recommendation that you enjoy that kind of fits whatever theme we're in, like we're right now, we're in this Money in the Bank time period right here. So hit us up. We want to hear from you.
02:05:46

02:06:04
Speaker
Best way to support us is to go there. $1 gets you into our Facebook group and all the cool stuff we mentioned. $5 gets you all of our bonus episodes. Myself, Marco and Mike are revisiting every single episode of Monday Night Raw from 1996 every week, and we're going back and doing that. And then me and Mike are doing a fig fed for Hasbro figures, which has been fun. So a lot of good extra episodes on there. I got an interview with Conrad Thompson that I posted earlier this week. What'd you guys think of that?
02:06:37
Speaker
I really I mean I'm a Conrad fan anyway, so I was definitely gonna listen to it. That was really good. You got you got right to the point with all your questions and stuff like that too, which is. Yeah, you got my question in there, which is pretty awesome. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's like I said, just get that type of like figure like in that's in the podcast community right now is is pretty awesome. Yeah, yeah, just like.
02:07:07
Speaker
just like we're just crossing cross pollination as you like to say with the Chick-fil-E show with the.
02:07:13
Speaker
The Podfather, which is pretty awesome. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I think it was super cool. I mean, I just, were you like, I know I would have been nervous. I like get super like, you know, celebrity, what's it called? Like Starstruck, even though like, even when people are like, you know, total like C and D list celebrities, I get totally like Starstruck. So I would have been like, oh my God, Conrad. I would have been totally fangirling out talking to him. But how did you feel? Were you nervous at all?
02:07:43
Speaker
A little bit, just because I wanted to make sure I got everything in. I know his time was kind of precious, so we did it on the weekend in between some stuff. I had a bunch of questions after the fact. I was like, I wanted to ask him about his collection and his flare robes and all that stuff, but I'm sure... I've interviewed him once before on my old podcast when he was coming to town to do a show with Bruce Prichard. It's hard to get him nailed down in the DMs, but once we get some time carved out, he's pretty good. He remembered talking to me before.
02:08:12
Speaker
You know, oh, that's awesome. Yeah, maybe next time we get him we get him Nailed down. I'll be able to be on the line too because that would have been super super cool But yeah, I've given the situation right now It's just it's hard to coordinate and get all that shit and I want to get it knocked out So I'm so super stoked you got that done
02:08:29
Speaker
I didn't mention, I'd hate to bring up some more things that we're offering our Patreon subscribers, but one of the cool things we do is on pay per views during pay per views, we jump into Discord. It's like a chat app, a messaging app, and we can all kind of go back and forth there during that. So if you are a Patreon subscriber, make sure you download the Discord app and we can chat there during the Money in the Bank pay per view on Sunday.
02:08:53
Speaker
Next week, we'll recap that pay-per-view as we get closer to double or nothing. We'll do a preview. Hopefully, we'll have a couple more matches for that. And hopefully, we'll be closer and closer to ending this quarantine BS and getting on with normal life. But you guys have any good Mother's Day plans? I got some cool stuff set up for my wife.
02:09:13
Speaker
Um, no, the heel husband, he actually, he got the call, um, this, I mean, I don't remember what day it was. I think of maybe like Friday. I don't know. Anyway, he called Monday. Who knows? Um, but he was just like, you know, what do you, he's like, what do you want for mother's day? Is there anything you had your, you know, had your eye on it? I'm like, no, not really. You know, he's like, well, just get whatever you want. I'm like, yes. Yes. He's like, you know, if I was there, obviously I would like, you know,
02:09:40
Speaker
We would do something awesome. I guess we couldn't do anything awesome now anyway, because freaking, you know, the situation. But yeah, he gave me the green light. I don't really have anything on my radar, though. I don't really have anything that I want or.
02:09:52
Speaker
need, but yeah, I'm just going to keep these children that I made. I guess that's what I get for Mother's Day. There you go. That's all you can do. I decided I'm going to, in the afternoon, sneak out and get my wife kind of a buffet of all of her favorite stuff. So I'm going to go get her a Five Guys cheeseburger, some sushi. She likes these spring rolls from a place locally. And what was the other thing?
02:10:16
Speaker
Uh, like a pizza. I just make, I'm just makes her sound like a huge like monster that she eats. She's not going to eat all this food by herself, but I think like, uh, I got like a smorgasbord, like a fig, fig wife buffet of like all her favorite stuff. I can get her some like, uh, some little, little dessert action, some candy and just have it all laid out and, you know, watch a movie or something because, uh, we can't really go anywhere. Then you have, then you have leftovers all weekend. It's like, it's like a win-win. You know what I mean? What about you, Mark? I love that idea.
02:10:45
Speaker
I don't think much. Probably just do like a there's like a like a dinner in a movie type of thing or just cook some dinner and you know just hang out with the kids and stuff like that and try to take the time that we have together and try to make it like a like a little personal time. So nothing too extravagant.
02:11:04
Speaker
Very nice. Yeah. Guys, be sure to reach out to your moms and tell them what they mean to you. If you have little kids, treat your wife right, make sure you do something nice. And we will meet back here next week to recap Money in the Bank for Marco and Sheena. This is Phil. Thank you guys for listening. And stay classy, Marx. We'll talk to you soon. I don't necessarily need to be here for this. Can I?
02:11:34
Speaker
I'm gonna keep the headphones Motherfucker, I'm awesome. No, you're not dude. Don't lie. I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my mom's ride I'm awesome quarter of my life gone by and I met all my friends online motherfucker I'm awesome. I will run away from abroad. I'm awesome. There's no voicemail. Nobody calls I can't afford to buy eight balls and I talk to myself on my Facebook wall. You know my pants sag low
02:12:00
Speaker
Even though that went out of style like 10 years ago I got the swagger of a cripple I got little biceps getting fatter in the middle and lyrically I'm not the best physically the opposite of Randy Moss and yet so preposterous
