Welcome and Introduction
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to the Chick Foley Show.
Sheena's Sleep Habits and Humor
00:00:23
Speaker
what is up foley fam we are back with another edition of the flagship chick foley show we got the whole crew on deck tonight and let's start by introducing the stars of the show sheena how you doing
00:00:34
Speaker
I'm doing good. I'm a little bit tired, but I got my iced coffee here to give me a little bit of a perk up. Hoping to hang with you guys until the duration of this show. It's almost 9.30, so it's past my bedtime. All right, fellas, so Sheena's setting the bar for us. Her goal for this episode is to stay awake until the end of it. Let's see how we do. Marco, what's happening up in the Northeast? Nothing much. I'm hoping we can entertain Sheena for the night.
00:01:02
Speaker
The show doesn't just go bust. Yeah. What are the listeners thinking when they're hearing the star of the show say, I hope I can stay awake until the end of this? No. Because you guys are so boring. I told Seth. No, it's not that you guys fall asleep. I mean, I could fall asleep in the middle of, I mean, I'm just about anything. Wow. Oh, damn. Shouts everywhere. Damn.
00:01:25
Speaker
But I was telling Seth earlier, I was like, you know, because I mean, we've been watching succession, you know, we're like, you know, four years behind on
00:01:33
Speaker
Um, starting succession. So we started succession and it's a really good show so far, but I just keep falling asleep during the freaking episodes. And it's not one of those shows that you can like, you know, miss the little nuances and stuff between the characters. And, uh, you know, Seth's always getting onto me like, why can't you just stay awake? And I told him my circadian rhythm is just so finely tuned with the rising in the setting of the sun that like, once the sun goes down, my body just automatically starts to shut down, dude.
00:02:00
Speaker
And before that first peak of that ray of sunshine comes over the horizon, my eyes are wide awake. So I can't help it.
00:02:08
Speaker
It's not you guys, it's not you, it's me. Yeah, so in case you guys didn't know, that was confirmation I'm married to a psychopath.
Greenhouse Damage and Pet Care PSA
00:02:15
Speaker
Jordan, speaking of a farmer's circadian rhythm bullshit, man, what's happening out in Nebraska? I don't know, but circadian rhythm, I don't know what that word means, so I'm going to take it as an insult, so don't ever fucking say it again, Sheena. I'm already over this episode. Sheena is telling us she doesn't know if she's going to stay awake for the episode.
00:02:34
Speaker
talking shit about whoever cicadia is. I don't know what's going on there. Speaking of which, Shane, tell us what's new on the farm.
00:02:44
Speaker
Well, I have a brand new open air greenhouse. We had an open bay greenhouse. Yeah. We had a wicked windstorm, which we'll get into here in a little bit, but yeah, we had a wicked windstorm come through and literally just blew the doors off the place. Yeah. So, and blew a few panels out. Thankfully that's about the extent of the damage. You know, some plants got
00:03:06
Speaker
blown over and our apple trees got kind of thrashed. But other than that, no, we didn't lose power, which was key. There's still people out here in our area that are without power for what's it like four days now. So yeah, very, very grateful for that. It actually worked out too, because it totally wrecked the power where I work at. So I've been working from home all week now. Yeah, that's a bonus. A little bonus, yeah. Anything new with the animals?
00:03:35
Speaker
Not really, man. It's about to get freaking hot, so I'm making all the preps for the chickens and the goats. When you got livestock, you got to make sure when it's hot outside, you take care of them. Same with pets, dude. If you got your pets, I'm doing a PSA here. Next week, if you're in or around our area, it's going to be like 100 degrees.
00:03:54
Speaker
If you have outdoor pets, bring them in, put them in the garage, give them some fresh water. Make sure you check it on them. Don't just leave them outside to freaking cook, dude. It's inhumane. Don't be an asshole. Take care of your pets.
Social Media and AEW Forbidden Door Review
00:04:08
Speaker
All right. Sheena, tell them where they can find you guys on social media. You can find me on Instagram at Chick Foley. Marco running the Twitter machine over at Chick Foley show and follow all of our pod foundation brothers. We got at extra cooler coming down the aisle and the term buckle tavern.
00:04:24
Speaker
Yeah, speaking of Turnbuckle Tavern, we're going to kick off the discussion this week with AEW Forbidden Door. Before we do that, I want to remind all the listeners use code CHICKFOLY to save 10% at Ringside Collectibles. You guys ready to get into some wrestling talk? Mm-hmm. All right. Mm-hmm.
00:04:41
Speaker
So yeah, we had a very interesting, forbidden door experience. Pre-show was going great, man. Me and the kids were chilling on the back porch. We had the whole Redneck Riviera outdoor theater set up. Sheena was bringing us some delicious local barbecue home takeout. And about 10 minutes before the main show was going to kick off, yeah, we had
00:05:00
Speaker
felt like a damn tornado come blowing through, man. Yeah, we had everything set up. We had food laid out. We were going to eat outside and everything. We had all of our food laid out. All of a sudden, like you said, tornado winds came through and just started just wrecking shit. Stuff was flying through the yard, the Wizard of Oz.
00:05:17
Speaker
Yeah, it was supposed to be like, it was only supposed to be rain. I thought it was gonna be kind of cool. We just have some nice ambiance for the show. Yeah. It didn't happen, man. So and then also it knocked out the internet here. We kept power, but it knocked out our internet. So I was having to stream on my phone while Sheena was tending to the kids. So yeah, so I didn't even really get to watch Forbidden Door. The Forbidden Doors blew off my greenhouse. I was like, I was like, Oh my God, like, you know, is the goat barn gonna take off? Like, you know, what is there? Is my neighbor's trampoline gonna come over into the yard? Like, so I was kind of
00:05:47
Speaker
distracted during Forbidden Door. Seth was still streaming what he could off the crappy little bit of cell service that he had. Yeah, so I really didn't catch up until we got to the big two matches towards the end, man. So fellas, fill the listeners in. You guys got the baton, man. What's the official take of the Chick Foley show on this year's Forbidden Door?
00:06:08
Speaker
I thought it was I thought it was excellent. I mean, these are always fun for me, just because I like New Japan and I've still like AWS. So getting dream matches is always fun. I thought that Osprey and Omega
00:06:25
Speaker
I mean, I can't give it a star rating because the star scale is broken because of fucking uncle Dave. But I mean, this is like a, if you're watching just a pure wrestling match, like this is top tier. I mean, it's, it's definitely up there. So, uh, that match was amazing. Um,
00:06:45
Speaker
The more, now that we've learned about, uh, Brian Danielson and Okada, that Danielson was wrestling the last 10 minutes of the broken arm, which everybody kind of knew something was up. Cause I mean, he was, he was really selling it. And I was like, dude, this seems like more than selling, like something's got to really be wrong. And then when he, uh, he put on the last submission and he couldn't even use his right arm. I knew something was really wrong. So, uh,
00:07:09
Speaker
Kudos to him, man. That match was really good. It wasn't my favorite match, but still a really good match, 30 minutes long. So nothing to sneeze at, but yeah. I saw Bree post a picture of the break on Brian D. Nelson's arm dude. It's like a solid break right there. Oh, that's like straight up snap. Yeah, it's looking like he may not make a...
00:07:30
Speaker
the show and I guess so. We'll see what happens. Yeah, I can't imagine you come back from something like that. Yeah, so... There's definitely a lot of steam behind him making Okada tap out. That's a hell of an accomplishment, man. Yeah. I loved Osprey Omega. I thought they were painting a masterpiece. If I had one gripe, I could have done without Don Callis, man, being involved. It just seemed... It seemed like... Beneath the match. Yeah, it seemed beneath the match, man. How about you, Marco? Where were you at with Don Callis' involvement in that, you know, otherwise just perfect 40 minutes of wrestling?
00:07:58
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, yeah, they really didn't need, uh, need him at ringside kinda, I get it, you know, storyline, you know, to him and Omega and all that stuff that's happening. But time at a place like when they, you know, when he was removed the first time, he should have just stayed away.
00:08:14
Speaker
Yeah, he just came back with like, no, like there was like nothing like he didn't even get thrown out. Yeah. So I was fine with it at that point with referee, just like, you know, like remove them from the match. So I was like, all right, now it's going to be good. But then he, then he comes back. Didn't really, obviously it didn't really ruin the match, but like you said, it definitely could have, uh, it could have done without him being at ringside. He really served no purpose in that sense, but, um, definitely have to give, uh, props to, uh, I mean, everyone's obviously given props to like little Osprey and,
00:08:42
Speaker
You know, all this stuff, but people are forgetting it takes two to tango and you can't leave out the Omega man, dude. That dude shows time in and time out that he's one of, if not the best wrestlers on the planet. He's like that dude. You had it right the first time, one of.
00:09:01
Speaker
I've seen a lot of, uh, pretty good, man. Well, I've seen a lot of the, uh, putting a match on he's good. Yeah. You get the, uh, the, all the, obviously the Seth Rollins and we'll all spray comparisons. I mean, yeah. God damn. If Seth Rollins doesn't pull off a match like that on Saturday, there's, it's going to be a shit storm for him, which he probably, I mean, he does have the partner to do it with, uh, with fit baller, but I feel like they got to try to.
00:09:24
Speaker
like not maybe like that match but try to like do the same thing but i think it's gonna fall flat so i think they should just stay within the wwe realms do what they need to do and put a perfect match like that because i i feel it's gonna happen and it's gonna fall flat
00:09:40
Speaker
You know, WWE just, it's almost impossible for guys to do like Omega and Osprey did because WWE puts a little bit of like stricter plates on their guys, man. They're not going to let them be just completely reckless like that. Like, you know, when WWE does a big spot, it's normally like kind of gimmicked. It's almost like doing like a Hollywood stunt, you know, like some of taking that tiger driver on the back of his head, some of the airborne stuff Osprey was doing. You're never going to see that stuff in WWE. Yeah, the the the spot that really like
00:10:09
Speaker
took like really blew my mind. It wasn't even like a crazy move like that. It was when Will Ospreay had Omega by the head, and he was just slamming his head into the announce table. I've never seen anything like that before. Usually, you put your hands up,
WWE Money in the Bank Predictions
00:10:25
Speaker
and they're bouncing off and stuff like that. He's just literally just grabbing him by the back of his head and just repeatedly slamming his head off the table. I was like, yeah, they're not doing that.
00:10:34
Speaker
The CTE slam dude. Yeah, very much do like he was not omega wasn't blocking any of those Any of those I do got to get on my my kayfabe corner soapbox real quick, man This is twice in the last couple months that we've had extremely high-profile matches See somebody get ejected and then come back with no consequences man. The ejection Yeah, the referee ejection has always been
00:10:57
Speaker
Kind of sacred in wrestling, dude. Like that's something that, you know, it carried weight. If you saw somebody get the big like Major League Baseball umpire style ejection out of the ring, they were gone, man. And you could kind of like check that out the box in your mind, like, okay, this Matt, you know, this person is not going to factor into the finish.
00:11:12
Speaker
Um, you know, I know it happened a couple of times like the ref was like out, you know what I mean? Then they come back in, but it's like, if the ref is like, you know, the ref was distracted. I don't know. Like, yeah, that should have been an immediate DQ for we'll last break on, uh, on Sunday night. Obviously that would have sucked. This is the ending, but I don't know, dude, I feel like we need to, um,
00:11:30
Speaker
We need to protect the ejection, man, because that's something, like I said, it just always mattered, man. I feel like it's been very few and far between when I see people get kicked out like that and then still come back. Jordan, we'll give you the final word, man. For Biddendorf 2023, was it better than 2022?
00:11:45
Speaker
Uh, I think so mainly just cause of that Oh God, or sorry, Osprey and Omega match. I just, dude, it's really hard to compare that match to anything for me. It was just amazing. Um, I think we got to give some flowers to orange Cassidy as well. Oh man. Him Zach Sabre, Shabbat and Daniel Garcia put it down for an 11 minute match, man. It seemed like they were going hard for the whole 11 minutes. So yeah, dude, orange Cassidy.
00:12:14
Speaker
I mean, dude, I think there's a legit argument to be made about Orange Cassie, at least being a finalist for wrestler of the year as of right now. Oh, yeah. That dude is I agree. He is putting it down. Like every match in the world, man. Yeah, dude, every match he does is entertaining. And I know a lot of people will not a lot of people, but I've seen people that
00:12:36
Speaker
bitch about like what he does and things like that. And the hands and pockets thing. I'm just like, dude, just watch the suit wrestle. It's unreal. Every time he gets in the ring, dude, I've said it before in here, he's the most old school guy in the biz, man. He lives his gimmick 24 seven and everything he does in the ring matters, dude. He doesn't just do stuff to do stuff. The stuff he does, it gets reaction. He's over with the fans and he tells a story every time in there, whether it's a big pay-per-view match,
00:13:03
Speaker
or, you know, an eight, nine minute match on, on freaking rampage, dude. Like, yeah, I think ours Cassidy, like he's not, he don't got the acrobatics of like a Kenny or, you know, a Seth Rollins. He's not the insane athlete that will Osprey is, but I think you could make a case. He's best wrestler in the world, man. If you look at the total package, dude, like he's up there. I agree with you a hundred percent on that, dude. Yeah. So yeah. Uh, forbidden or overall though.
00:13:27
Speaker
I just hope they keep building on this man. It's, it's excellent. I was a little disappointed. We didn't get Sasha at this pay review. I really thought we were going to get her. Um, you mean Mercedes Monet, whatever you want to color. Yeah, whatever. But yeah, I felt like
00:13:44
Speaker
Speaking of names, dude, is it really Zach Sabre? No, it's Sabre. I always say Sabre. He's been watching too much Office. I always say Sabre. I was like, damn, did I miss that? Did he have a gimmick change? Because I was like, if that's the case, I've been saying this dude's name wrong for like eight fucking years, man. Just like I would say, we'll also pray. I say we'll also pray too, man. Yeah, it's just more fun to say also pray. But yeah, I thought maybe Zach Sabre Jr. done some like heel gimmick or something where he's
00:14:10
Speaker
Started making a face Yeah, I remember the reference now, but I just I wouldn't sure dude, you know Jordan's much smarter on the international scene than I am So I thought I was maybe just ass out on this one. Yeah Alright, so I think that kind of closes the door the forbidden door. Yeah, I was waiting for somebody to pick it up on that She was gonna kind of run us down the card for this Saturday's afternoon wrestling, which is always great I'm so excited do a little day drinking
00:14:35
Speaker
Probably, I'm thinking maybe we get some chicken wings or something, and what are we going to do for grinds for Money in the Bank, Shane? I don't know. Remember, Brett got invited to a pool party last minute. Oh, so it might be your solo. I might be getting some Domino's delivered or something. Yeah, Brett went to Karate and got invited to this little kid's pool party. They don't live far from here, so we'll probably do a drop by, let Brett get in and hang out for a little bit, and then we'll come back and catch the end of Money in the Bank. But yeah, I felt bad because the last time they got invited to this kid's stuff, we were out of town or something, and I can't remember.
00:15:06
Speaker
Yeah, they're super nice. Like, so I guess I'm going to take Brett and be the good mom. And I'll be here watching wrestling priorities. Good man. All right. So we will kick off a money in the bank with, I mean, the men's money in the bank ladder match. So we've got Ricochet versus Shinsuke versus LA Knight versus Santos Escobar versus Butch versus Damian priest versus Logan Paul.
00:15:33
Speaker
What are we thinking guys? I think, I mean, I feel like there's only like three contenders here that really even like could possibly end up with a briefcase. Am I wrong or do you think? Yeah, who's your three? Yeah. I think Shinsuke, LA Knight and Damian Priest. What? I think Logan Paul's got a chance. I think it's Logan Paul. I don't think Logan Paul is gonna win. I think it's gonna be Damian Priest, man. I think Damian Priest is gonna win this thing.
00:16:05
Speaker
I don't know I got a couple schools that thought one thing is kind of throwing me off the scent this year is I don't think any of these guys are in the ballpark of Seth and Roman right now and I say that with all due respect to Shinsuke because he could be but just where he's at right now in kayfabe he's not
00:16:20
Speaker
Well is this open for all the titles? Well yeah I was gonna say yeah. Triple H went out of his way to point out that they can cash in for the Intercontinental or US title now and both those belts have got a lot more prestige than they've had in the last five or six years so I don't know man it's hard to say because you could totally see one of these guys winning and cashing in for the secondary titles.
00:16:38
Speaker
Yeah, L.A. Knight's so over though, but I feel like because they're making it over, dude. I don't think he's over with the company. I think he's just over with the fans. Yeah, I agree. Well, that's what I was gonna say is that I feel like all signs from the fans are pointing to like, oh yeah, L.A. Knight's gonna win this thing, dude. But I feel like the company's gonna back down your race. Yeah, it's never really been great for those guys who just organically get over. I always go back to Rusev Day, man. WrestleMania 34 weekend in New Orleans.
00:17:06
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But Rusev was, you know, getting the biggest chance all weekend long and he never did anything with it. I don't know. I want to hear the fellas picks, man, before I make mine. I'm still kind of, I'm still on the fence with this. I'm going, uh, I'm going either priest or Paul.
00:17:22
Speaker
although either one of them are gonna get it. I say priests because obviously the company's behind them. The whole Judgment Day thing and, you know, Rio with that title, him possibly taking another title. I can see him cashing in on Seth Rollins and taking the title from him. I know it's kind of far-fetched if you wanna go like, cause they're not gonna have a full match. They're not gonna go like bar for bar and all this stuff. It's gonna be, you know, at the end of one of their matches, I assume it's gonna be Seth.
00:17:51
Speaker
He's going to be dog tired and, uh, you know, priests will come out with, with Logan Paul, he can hold onto it forever until the next. He has that to show up. That's my thing is like, yeah, he's not going to be showing up. And I feel like to loves to like, be like, Oh, you know, the money in the bank is, you know, they like to just make sure that you always know it's, it's a threat dude. And we all know that Logan Paul is not just going to like show up on some random episode of for our,
00:18:17
Speaker
spec down or, you know, but that's an intriguing little pay-per-view. I think that's it. Because you don't even have to Brock back in 2019 get some word deal.
00:18:27
Speaker
kind of like that. We didn't even know he was showing up that he was just announced for that Cleveland show or whatever, but I think it's if he takes it, if he wins and he just disappears, now you have the air of like, oh my God, is this dude going to show up at any point in time and cash in? Whereas Damian Priest has seen him every week, so you know he's going to do it.
00:18:49
Speaker
So my heart's wanting, my heart is wanting Butch to win and cash in on Goonther. You know, Goonther and Pete Nunn's crazy UK title run. So maybe you could get a little sweet revenge. You could cash in the day before Goonther is going to break hockey talk man's record for the longest icy title reign.
00:19:06
Speaker
And I think what we have to do too, essentially they open it up to all the titles. Now we have to kind of like take ourselves away from the chain, like the, like the main titles and kind of go, okay, now everyone, everyone has a chance of winning this, you know, it makes everybody a threat. Cause yeah. Yeah. Like I said, if we're going world title, like, yeah. And then I mean, really low, low, low policy. I don't even think Damien priest, dude.
00:19:31
Speaker
Well, you know, he's been teasing some, some dissension with, uh, with Finn. So maybe that could come into play if, if they, depending on how this card sequence, we might see the men's get sorted out that night. Jordan, you're being quiet, man. What's your thoughts on the men's money in the bank this year? I thought the minute they announced Logan Paul, that was my pick to win, man. I, I, I don't think it's, uh, any, um, coincidence that he's in this match. I think that they are.
00:19:57
Speaker
hugely behind him. Vince loves this guy. It's no secret. Vince is back in the company doing stuff week to week. I honestly think it's Logan Paul. I don't, I don't even, I'm not even picking anybody else. There's, there's no fence writing for me. It's Logan Paul for me.
00:20:13
Speaker
My thoughts on Logan Paul, I feel like he's a, he's a red herring there to throw us off. I think they're going to set up, you know, him and Ricochet had that amazing spot at the rumble. I see them having, you know, some sort of dosey doe this weekend also and setting them up for a big one-on-one match at SummerSlam to try to elevate Ricochet a little bit. That's okay. That's my prediction for that, dude. I'm going
00:20:34
Speaker
Gun to my head, I'm saying Damian Priest wins it. And that ultimately leads to the downfall of the Judgment Day. I could see him, you know, maybe Finn Balor screws up his cash in for him or something, but I'm going Damian Priest wins, but fails to cash in the briefcase.
00:20:48
Speaker
You think he's going to cash in the... I don't know if it's going to be that night. I'm just saying, whenever he cashes in, I think it's going to be a failure and that's going to lead to the end of Judgment Day. Yeah, for sure. I think Damien Priest, too, you know, again, I think the fans really want LA Knight to win, but I think Damien... Yeah, which means he won't. So I think Damien Priest is definitely taking the briefcase. All right. Final picks from you guys. I'm going with Logan. Okay. Jordan. Jordan.
00:21:16
Speaker
Yeah. Hey, we forgot to say, we got to give a tip of the cap to Marco, man. How long will this raw down partner, J-Bone, John Swallow, they both pulled off freaking perfect card. Perfect, forbidden door card. Now, did you guys, I got to ask, dude, because you know, you guys record every week. Did you guys like huddle up and say, you know what?
00:21:34
Speaker
You know, there's strength in numbers. Let's just team up and make all the same picks and like scout it out because that forbidden or that's a tricky ass card to pull off a perfect one on. You know, it's funny. No, it wasn't because a lot of people are just going with like, oh, no, Orange Cassie is going to lose. He's fighting these three guys. And there's no way Brian Danielson will lose against. I mean, Okada will lose against Brian Danielson. So I just did the opposite. I was like, he's definitely going to win an Orange Cassie going to continue to roll on and be the
00:22:04
Speaker
You know, I don't know why people even like counted out Orange Cassidy is like losing that match because you're like put on bangers every week. I think that's kind of a. But no, I think the big one was the was Okada. Daniel, most people, people in the family family leaning heavy on Okada. And I was like, not everyone. I mean, I don't like everyone's on it. I know Seth, you know, really a huge fan of Brian Danielson. But you got to admit that dude's a fucking
00:22:34
Speaker
One of the top wrestlers in the world, dude. No, you know what? Because I believed in him and I was rooting for him against MJF at that Iron Man match. And as a babyface, he tapped out. You don't tap as a babyface, you pass out. That is true. Listen, I've been a Daniel Bryan.
00:22:49
Speaker
Daniel Brian Brian, it's like day one and yet even that that even made me be like what the baby face you either nap or you snap Don't freak in you don't he snapped this time just to make up for it. He was like, hey guys I'll go ahead and snap. Yeah, let's just forget what happened before. Yeah, but yeah, I think that yeah, I just went the opposite on a lot of the other picks Cole I think I had Cole winning but obviously he didn't know
00:23:19
Speaker
make it to the forbidden door. He was sick, quotation marks. All right. So we're going to move on to the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. And speaking of which, did you guys see? Sorry to interrupt you, but he just made me think of it. Adam Cole missed Saturday with illness, and then Britt Baker got pulled from dynamite tonight because of an illness. Somebody needs to go check on the first couple of AEW. Yeah. It makes sense. That's how viruses work.
00:23:47
Speaker
All right, go ahead. Gross. Don't ever. Um, we're going to talk about the women's money in the bank ladder match. Zelina Vega versus Becky Lynch versus Zoe Stark versus Bailey versus EO versus Trish Stratus. Becky wins a hundred percent. And I think she's going to do the called shot cash in on Rhea. I don't think she's going to do the sneak attack. I think we're going to have huge match at summer slam with Becky against a rear Ripley.
00:24:16
Speaker
Yeah, they had a little face off, which makes me believe that like, that's definitely a possibility. Um, I don't know. I was kind of going for EO though. I think, you know, I think EO is arguably the best women's wrestler in the world, man. She's, she is crazy talented. So I wouldn't be mad at it, but she feels kind of cold right now. Yeah. I think, yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I guess I'm going with Becky too, for the, uh, for the women's ladder match. What about you guys? What are your thoughts?
00:24:45
Speaker
I was going to go Trish, but I think- I know Jordan's going Trish. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's- You don't know anything. Just, but yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but I go Becky too, I think. Just that interaction that they had on Raw, her and Ria, it definitely was kind of like foreshadowing something that's going to happen. So we go with Bex, big time Bex. Jordan, you going with your girl? Oh, absolutely not.
00:25:15
Speaker
The fact that she's in this match is surprising to me. I mean, I would like to see her win, but dude, I think you is actually gonna win. I get the Becky. That's what my gut is telling me, dude. I think Becky's already, Becky's already got a shoe in. Like she doesn't need that either way. I don't think that's my thoughts.
00:25:34
Speaker
And dude, we were talking about LA Knight. I feel like they want you to believe Becky's going to win because of the face-off that they just had on Monday night and stuff. I think EO's going to win, dude. I don't know, man. I get that she's not on a heater or anything right now. But she's got a lot of stuff going on with Bailey. I think that could really cost him. I could lead to that in damage control. Bailey's already kind of losing her hooks on EO and Dakota.
00:26:00
Speaker
Yeah. That was my whole reason for picking EO is I think it's really going to just lead to the destruction of damage, like damage control. And, you know, maybe we'll get Bailey versus EO. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely think I'm, when I looked through this, I Trish, like it would make sense. I mean, in a sense, it would, it would make sense. But dude, she's not, I just don't think she's pinning Rhea and I don't know, man.
00:26:27
Speaker
I get it. She could do it after a match, but I just, I don't see that, but dude, you know, it seems like it's time to heat her up and get her back to the top of the card where she belongs. Cause I grew Seth. She's easily, if not the best women's wrestler on the roster, she's in the top three. So I feel like that one makes the most sense. Cause usually they want to do, um, somebody that they want to put back up to the top of the card. So I just think it's going to be her this time. Mm-hmm.
00:26:56
Speaker
All right. What about Cody Rhodes versus Dominic Mysterio? I think Dom wins to just be, go from being the most hated guy in wrestling to being like one of the five or six most hated guys in the world. He's going to be up there with like Vladimir Putin. I would love to see it, but I don't think it's going to happen because I mean, dude, Cody cannot lose to Dominic. No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:19
Speaker
Who has been conspicuous by his absence since? Since night of champions the beast Brock Lesnar. Yeah, we have not seen him I could you know, they're not gonna do a huge show on London without Brock showing up dude Brock's Brock loves to get his international paydays, dude Yeah, and they're tied up one-to-one now. Yeah, I think I think Brock's gonna fuck Cody over it to set us up with like
00:27:43
Speaker
you know, Motor City Deathmatch or whatever they call it. Some sort of, you know, the ultimate freaking, you know, Feud killer. Motor City Mayhem. SummerSlam. Yeah. You know Cody's going to be in a big match. So yeah, yeah, Motor City Mayhem. I think it's going to be some sort of crazy, violent match. Maybe Hell in the Cell. Who knows, dude? But I think we're going to get Cody and Brock one more time to SummerSlam because they need a rubber match. It's one to one right now. Yeah. I expect Dom wins with the assist from the big guy.
00:28:08
Speaker
Yeah. And that's good. I mean, that's good for both parties. You know, I think like you said, it sets Cody up for a big match at SummerSlam. It doesn't hurt Cody. Cody's bulletproof at this point, honestly. It gets Dominic, like you said, even more heat. He's already nuclear. He's already nuclear, baby. He talked shit about how, you know, he won with no help all by himself. He beat the American nightmare. Yeah. So yeah, I'm picking Dom. Yeah, Dom.
00:28:30
Speaker
With the reminder that Brock's lurking out there, I think I'm definitely going with that. If Brock's staying on the ranch in Canada, Dom's getting his little ass whooped. But if Brock makes a trip across the pond, he's going to make sure Cody takes that L. Right.
00:28:43
Speaker
What about you boys? Yeah. No, I'm with a, I'm, I'm dumb. Team Dom Dom Dom. Jordan. I will never in my life pick Dom Nick Mysterio to win a match. Not a Dom. Not a Dom. No, no, I'm not a.
00:29:00
Speaker
Dominic fan, I just don't get it at all. It's the dumbest thing. I don't know why just all wrestling fans decided, hey, we're going to boo the shit out of this guy. How awesome is it?
00:29:16
Speaker
It's not. That's how cool if you were dominant. I thought, yeah, I'm with you, Jordan. Dom's not my cup of tea either, man. I thought once that initial storyline with Seth Rollins played out back in 2020, he's got a little bit talent. I'm not going to say he's like garbage or anything, but I thought they should have sent him down to NXT for a couple of years and then bring him back up. But you know, he's yeah.
00:29:36
Speaker
in the fast lane to the freakin, uh, the main roster, I guess, man, I, the only time I've really been super entertained by him was, uh, that first promo he did after he got thrown in jail over, over Thanksgiving weekend or whatever. Have you ever seen that video of, uh, I'm not sure what, what match it was. Uh, I'm not sure if it was.
00:29:55
Speaker
Definitely, there was a crowd in attendance. It wasn't during the pandemic. But he goes back and Vince McMahon gives him a hug and like, have you seen that video? And he tells him some shit like he's like he tells down like he's like most most people in this business work years to get the reaction you got and you got it tonight. You should be proud of that reactions. And I think I think it's just a tribute to Ray, dude. How much people love Ray? You know, because that turn, you know, his very son turned on him, just made him nuclear man.
00:30:25
Speaker
Yeah. And then I think pairing up with Rhea Ripley really gave him the extra heat, dude. I think it was just, I don't know. I think people just love to hate Dom because people just love... Yeah, exactly. Because people love Rhea Ripley, dude, and they hate to see her with Dom so much.
00:30:40
Speaker
It was the perfect combination. Well, there's nothing worse than seeing somebody that you know is like a piece of shit and they're with like just a sexy ass chick. It's infuriating. Oh man. All right. Moving on, we got Seth Freakin Rollins versus Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:31:00
Speaker
If Damien Priest wins Money in the Bank, all bets are off. I could see, because Seth, you know, similar to Cody, Seth's bulletproof, man. You know, my brain is telling me he needs to have a pretty decent reign to just establish this new championship. But at the same time, it's a brand new championship. So like, you know, who the fuck cares? They could just hot potato it. Yeah, so I think Seth would win. But if Money in the Bank happens first and Damien Priest got that briefcase, I'm going to be very, very nervous watching this match.
00:31:28
Speaker
Yeah. And it would make sense, you know, Finn could use the whole like, you know, you basically cost me my title. So I'm going to cost you your title when he won the universal champion. Seth could beat Finn and then Finn just jumps him and beats the shit out of him to set up a cash in or just.
00:31:42
Speaker
Anything, man. I got a funny feeling of, you know, I don't think it's a lock that Seth is leaving London with the championship. Yeah, I can see a scenario where, you know, Damian Priest wins. Depending, obviously, it depends on when this match is going to happen, right? Whatever the main event match is going to be.
00:32:02
Speaker
Uh, the Damien priest wins and that match does happen afterwards. I can see a scenario where Finn Balor does win and then Damien priest cashes in on Finn Balor. That's another, that's another scenario. You can go, that'll also create that dissension between, uh, the judgment day. Judgment day.
00:32:20
Speaker
I think they need to have that men's money in the bank match needs to go like first or second because we don't have There's no women's championships being defended on this show, you know, you just got that none of the singles women's belts anyways so I think having that, you know, if you already got the mister money the bank float around backstage will add a little bit of entry to this Seth and and fin match and
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah, I'm still going with freaking. I think, uh, I think freaking and freaking. Yeah. I think he's gonna freaking for the weekend. He's going to freaking for the weekend. Jordan, what's your pick on this one? Yeah, I'm going Rollins. I just.
00:32:53
Speaker
If they really take the belt off him a month after he wins it, I don't think that sets a good precedent for this title at all. It just seems really weird to me that they would do that, but it is WWE and they've done weird things. They always fuck Seth over. He's in the Randy Orton spot, man, where they feel like they can just do anything to him and he'll still be over no matter what. I wouldn't, you know, as a, as a long time diehard Seth Rollins fan, I'm kind of just like completely numb to, to the way they book him.
00:33:22
Speaker
All right, moving on, we're going to go to the women's tag team match. We got Rhonda Rousey and Shayna Baszler against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. I think the whole match, the whole reason this match exists is for Raquel Rodriguez to turn heel. I think Rhonda and Shayna win.
00:33:39
Speaker
And everybody loves Liv. I think Raquel is going to get frustrated and attack the returning Liv Morgan after the match to put her back in her spot as a heal, which I think she's going to have a nice little run as a heal. Yeah, I don't think you have to be, you know, an Oracle to see that one coming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Rhonda, they have double XP right now because they just, they just, they're undisputed tag team champions.
WWE Storylines and Character Analysis
00:34:03
Speaker
They're legit tag team too, you know, for the longest we've just had random.
00:34:07
Speaker
Women just partnered up, man, and we finally got a real tag team again with the belts. Yeah. All right. Gunther versus Matt Riddle. I think Gunther's going to retain it. It's going to be a squash. I think this should be a glorified squash. I think this is going to be before the main event. Yeah. I officially sold all my Matt Riddle stock. I've been talking Riddle up for years. I thought he could be a huge main event star for them, but I'm off the Matt Riddle train. I hope Gunther kicks his ass. Yeah.
00:34:34
Speaker
Yeah. 100%. Yeah. Everybody on board with Gunther in general. All right. And finally, we got some bloodline civil war action happening. The bloodline Roman Reigns and solo Sequoah versus the Usos. Hey, call me crazy. I got a wild idea.
00:34:55
Speaker
I think Jimmy is going to turn on Jay in this match. No, I think Jimmy is going to turn on Jay in the swerve. What would be the swerve though? I mean, it's going to be definitely one of those things where like it makes sense if you don't think about it too much, but I just think, you know, whatever, you know, Roman and Solo got their hooks back in, or Roman and Paul Heyman, excuse me, got their hooks back in Jimmy and influenced him.
00:35:17
Speaker
You know, I think all the stuff that they've been promising in Jay that he turned down, you know, it'll come out that they promised that to Jimmy and Jimmy accepted. And I think we just stacked the deck on Jay Uso and we see Jay going, you know, one versus all at SummerSlam, dude, Jay versus Roman. So yeah, I'm going to run on a limb. I think Jimmy is going to turn on Jay Uso on Saturday afternoon. Fucking disgusting. Yeah. I mean, I don't hate it, but I mean, that would make Jay so beloved and make people hate Roman and the rest of them even more.
00:35:46
Speaker
I think either that or if they, if they don't want to go with the swerve, bro, I think, I think Roman and solo, you know, she get it. I think they ended up brutalizing these guys though, man. I think it's going to be violent. I think it's like I said, it's going to be brutal. And I think Roman and solo are winning one way or another. Yeah, I think Roman and solo are going to win too. But like you said, I think it's going to be some backhanded, you know,
00:36:08
Speaker
heel-ish way and they're going to beat the shit out of Jimmy and Jay for sure. Yeah, I think so. A lot of isolation. Definitely probably pick apart Jay during the match. Not let Jimmy get in at all. Oh yeah.
00:36:24
Speaker
Bloodline unanimous. Yeah, I think bloodline dude. I think there's an outside shot that solo turns on Roman in this match. Honestly, I could see that too, dude. I think that too, man. If we were a little close to the mania, I could see it, but I think, I think the Roman trains roll until mania, dude. That's why I think.
00:36:39
Speaker
I think I think so was gonna ride with him, but I wouldn't be shy that would make sense man, but did Let me paint this picture for you guys dude early in the match Like you know five minutes in Jimmy goes out with a knee injury and got to get stretchered out You know and J's going one on to hanging in there courageously Jimmy finally, you know stumbles back out 15 minutes later just to turn on J man I just feel like that would be
00:37:00
Speaker
Crazy, dude. Maybe it's too much of that, too much late era WCW stuff. Seth keeps trying to capture that high every time something crazy happens with the bloodline. Seth's trying to top it for the next pay-per-view. I just want to see Jay be the biggest underdog possible when he finally beats Roman.
00:37:20
Speaker
Yeah. And you think that that's going to go all the way to WrestleMania? No. Jay's, I think Jay and Roman's happening at SummerSlam, dude. I think, I don't know. I can't, I mean, they could ended at SummerSlam, dude, but I don't think so. I think it's going to mania. I think, I think Jay's going to have just a really damn good showing and
00:37:37
Speaker
come up just to cut hair short, and that's when Roman will roll on the mania to go against either Cody or maybe Seth. If you read the dirt sheets, it's looking like Seth is supposedly the one that's going to be the Froning Roman. Yeah, I've heard that, yeah, there's been a pivot backstage towards Seth from Cody, which would be amazing. So then they're going to definitely have to take the belt off
00:38:03
Speaker
Seth, because then it's like, oh yeah, he's the undisputed champion again. It's going to be a situation. I think so. He'll lose a belt at some point before the end of the year. Yeah. Then, um, Seth's just going to be carrying around four belts, dude. You know, he'll have, uh, Roman, Stu, Ron, the universal and world title and the new gold title. I feel like Seth and Roman would be better, dude, even though it's, you know, I feel a little bit bad for Cody, just fucking him over like that, man. But
00:38:30
Speaker
If Cody and Roman go up against each other again, you know Cody's winning that time. Yeah, true. Unless they really just wanted to fucking piss everybody off. Exactly. I feel like Seth and Roman, they are never going to be able to capture that moment again that they have with Cody. Yeah, there's no way they're getting in that high. He's never like that. That was like his.
00:38:49
Speaker
mountaintop, you know what I mean? He's never getting back there. Will he become the champion? Probably it's not going to feel the same as if he would have won it at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns that night because it was just the energy was there, the build, the hype, everything to finish the story.
00:39:08
Speaker
the whole thing is that the roman would just be so much more of a richer story do you really want to trace it back and go i don't think they would be looking at this deep but this whole character roman has now can be traced to win set the trade and that's why roman so manipulate manipulative and emotionally abusive now is to keep you know all of his squad in line because
00:39:29
Speaker
You know the last time you let yeah, the last time he took his eyes off Seth. Yeah Yeah, so I don't know man I feel like Seth and Roman would be insane just think about the freakin video package that we would get for Roman documentary But yeah, I'm excited for this show man, like I said, it's definitely gonna be You know, I made the comparison before forbidden door was like, you know your Oscar award winner for best picture Where's money the base is gonna be like a marvel like summer popcorn flake?
00:39:59
Speaker
Both great, but they're going to be totally different, but the good thing is the wrestlers, they watch this stuff too. We know they watch the AW shows. They're going to be motivated to go out and try to top what they saw this past Sunday night. For sure. All right, you guys got any closing thoughts on Money in the Bank before we move to some figure talk? Nope. Nope. Moving on. All right, we'll do the beverage break, then we'll get into some action figure talk.
00:40:37
Speaker
All right, it's time for the weekly beverage break where we tell you guys what we're sipping on as we pod. I'll go first. I'm drinking what I think maybe the single most refreshing beer out there, Corona and a glass bottle with a slice of lime. Nice. She know what you're drinking since you're staying sober for like the fourth pod in a row. So I'm drinking a decaf coffee with a little raw cream, a little Monday night raw cream. Oh yeah, a little Monday night raw cream.
00:41:05
Speaker
Got an egg yolk whipped in there and a little bit of organic cane sugar, just a little bit. Give it a nice little touch of sweetness. Jordan. I don't know how I follow that, but I'm drinking a fog. It's a Northern Lights edition. It's a double dry hop, double India pale ale. It is from
00:41:30
Speaker
Abomination Brewing Company in North Haven, Connecticut. What's the ABV on that, bro? That's gotta be like a 8.2 or something. 8.6. It's a burner. That's what I can do. Some of those Imperials, man, especially if it's not super bitter, man, if it's not real hoppy, I feel like I'm almost drinking liquor on some of those. They're so boozy, man.
00:41:50
Speaker
Yeah, this one is, uh, this one's very boozy. So it's good though. It's, it's
Casual Conversations and Anecdotes
00:41:55
Speaker
really good. I stopped at the liquor store a couple of days ago and just picked up like five single cans. Um, I always grabbed the cool looking cans. They're always IPAs. So real burners. Yeah. I, uh,
00:42:09
Speaker
dope. The Imperial IPA is that's one that I always kind of like pause a little bit. It's got to have like a really either really nice can or really good description for me to get it just because those things will get you fucking bombed. This one's not an Imperial though. It's a it's just a double dry hopped double in the pale ale. Nice. Marco, what are you drinking?
00:42:27
Speaker
I am drinking a beer or IPA, I should say, from a white lion brewing company in Springfield, Massachusetts called Fresh and Fair. It's a New England IPA. Not crazy, 6%, not 8% alcohol. It's actually really good. There's a tropical taste to it. Shane, how long are you going to your sober streak right now?
00:42:55
Speaker
I don't know. You had a margarita last time we went over swimming at the neighbor's house. Yeah, I had a margarita when it's the neighbor's house, but yeah. Can we tell them about the pool party story?
00:43:06
Speaker
from Memorial Day weekend. We had been working out in the yard doing stuff all day and everything. You know Sheena, she's always a busy body. We were going to the neighbors for a little cookout, swimming deal afterwards. Me and Sheena were both getting the kids' radios. Just a little bit of chaos, a really busy day around the house. There's a lot of shit going on. Sheena didn't really feel like getting all the way ready and getting in her bathing suit and stuff. She just wanted to go down there.
00:43:33
Speaker
you know, and what she had on. And I was just kind of laughing. I was like, what if we get there and you're like the only one not in the pool? Yeah. And right before we left, I was like, I was like, let's just go put my bathing suit on just in case. And I was like, ah, fuck it. You know what I mean? I was just laughing. Like, you know, what if you get there and everybody's in the pool and it's just awkward? You're the one person not dressed for it. And we kind of laughed it off because, you know, you know, a pool party, there's always like it's like 50 50, right? Yeah.
00:43:54
Speaker
Uh, but we get there and it's like fucking 16 people already there. Every damn one of them is literally like, we're walking up. Every single person is in the pool. There's nobody sitting in the cabana chairs or, you know, standing up at the grill or, you know, get some out of court. Literally everybody's in the pool and I'm just looking, she's in a laugh and like,
00:44:11
Speaker
It's about to be awkward as fuck for you. But did I make it awkward? Yeah, you were cool. You're the social butterfly, so she couldn't plate it off. I saved the freaking day, dude. Our friends that were hosting the party, dude. They're freaking Jan and Michael at dinner party, dude. They don't start cooking the...
00:44:26
Speaker
Burgers and shit till like midnight, you know, we're just like all sitting there like starving to death Well, I had cut up this like delicious fruit tray and brought it down with us So I like brought the fruit tray out and everybody I was like say they're gonna migrate now Yeah, everybody start migrate now that we were eating fruit in the pool Like we were you know, everybody was just you know diving in so yeah, I would argue that I saved the pool party Yeah
00:44:48
Speaker
I don't want to pivot from this. My friend does that. He does like Memorial Day, weekend barbecue, do Labor Day, but he goes by a schedule and he waits till like
00:45:03
Speaker
Like, at the end of like- It's the worst. That's the worst. Dude, there's like a million people here. Like, we don't want to eat like chips and shit the whole time. Dude, I have hosted- I have hosted- Because these guys think they're a fucking hibachi chef, dude. Even if it's just like burgers and dogs, they wouldn't wait until they got a full audience for their up man in that grill, dude. Dude, I've hosted tons of parties at this point, dude. I always have like whatever I'm making is like ready to go when people show up. Exactly. If it's not, you got at least to have some quick fights.
00:45:30
Speaker
Yes. I might be putting the finishing touches on something, dude, but I'm not going to hang around and chit chat and do all that for three hours and then get up and cook food for everybody. Absolutely freaking not, dude. One, I just don't like my guests sitting around hungry waiting on wondering when we're going to eat. Two, I don't want to be up doing that shit while everybody's socializing. You know what I mean? I want to be able to socialize too, so I already have all the shit ready to go.
00:45:56
Speaker
Um, but yeah, we had another friend like that. Jesse was kind of like that too, dude. Jesse was like, they would, they would just hang well into the night. They'd invite you over at like five o'clock and be like, yeah, we're going to, like once you get there, they'll be like, yeah, food's gonna be ready at like nine. At like nine o'clock. Yeah. They'd be like, all right, yo, y'all come over at five. Luckily it was always a good hang, but usually you're like just drunk out of your mind. Yeah. Jesse, Jesse and Gloria are always super chill to hang with, but yeah, like you said, by the time the food gets out, you're just like, God,
00:46:18
Speaker
I can make you a Jordan Wells guarantee. If I
Wrestling Figure Collecting Challenges
00:46:23
Speaker
show up at your quote unquote party and there's no fucking food when I get there, I'm fucking rolling. This ain't a party for me, man. Like dude, if you ain't got food and booze, you might as well not even be having a party that I'm invited to at this point. Like I don't, I don't play that game. Like when
00:46:40
Speaker
When I get invited to a party, that's under the assumption there's going to be food ready to roll when I get there. Exactly. Exactly. And I'm totally cool to bring something too. You know what I mean? Like I'm totally, like if everybody's just bringing stuff, like that's cool too. Like you don't have to put on a five star meal for me, but just make sure that like, if we're out drinking and like hanging out and stuff, there's some like nabs there for us, you know? Yeah, bro. I got no problem picking up three pizzas on the way if you ain't ready to eat. I'm just telling you right now, there better be something for me to eat when I get there.
00:47:10
Speaker
When it's that fucking hot outside and I'm drinking that much, I got to have some kind of food or something to make sure I don't end up passing out at eight o'clock at night. Shout out to one of the best episodes of The Office ever, the dinner party. That's a classic. So cringe. Yeah. It makes my skin crawl just even thinking about it, but it's so hilarious. All right. You guys ready to get into some figure talk? Oh, yeah.
00:47:39
Speaker
All right, it's time for the Figure Four. This is where we discuss the latest in wrestling figure news and any of our new pickups. We're gonna remind you, this segment is brought to you by Ringside Collectibles. Use code CHICKFOLY to save 10% on all your purchases. All right, so we had a little bit of figure news. A lot of it came out today, actually. Mattel released the June reveals on www.com. Saw some new Ultimate editions, or at least the MOC pictures of them. Marco Jordan, did you guys see these yet? Yes.
00:48:09
Speaker
All right, so we'll kind of just, I'll call them out and you can just give me thoughts. So we got the ruthless aggression, Rob Van Dam. I mean, it's, it's a great figure, dude. RVD figures are awesome. Like just all his colorful, um, attires and stuff. Like you can't go wrong with an RVD figure. And that's again, if I had one wish, I would have wanted to have the ECW world championship too. Cause when he won that belt from Cena, he, he was a double champ, right? Wasn't he ECW champ at the same time?
00:48:40
Speaker
I thought he was when he won in 2006. I don't think he was. Yeah, I don't think he was. It was the money he cashed. Well, he didn't cash in. He did the, you know, call the money in the bank, cash in, and then they had that match. So I don't think he was a champion. See, I thought he was the...
00:48:59
Speaker
I thought he was double champ. Oh, well, either way, I guess I'm wrong then. Yeah, I guess it's a perfect figure. Yeah, pretty cool, man. I don't like it as much as the ruthless aggression elite we got with like the black and green or the tiger stripe elite, but... Yeah, that's... I mean, that's the only criticism I have is like it's black and red, which is cool, but I mean... I feel like they should have saved like the tiger stripe attire for... They needed some brighter attire for this whole thing. Yeah, especially with all the stuff he's had. Like this does look great, don't get me wrong, but I feel like RVDs wore some crazy stuff
00:49:25
Speaker
They could have grabbed, you know, let me get a dragon or like a yin yang or something on there. I guess he does got the dragon, but let me get something more. There's a crawfish. Wow. Hey, so, so just a little bit of backstory. So June, June 13th of 2006, the title was revived by WWE for the ECW brand.
00:49:53
Speaker
Van Dam was awarded the title by Paul Heyman for winning the WWE championship. Ah, so he got it after the fact. Yeah, he wasn't a champ. He was double champ, but it was kind of kabuki-esque. Okay, cool, man. Yeah, I knew I'd seen pictures of him with both belts, man. I wasn't sure if it was just like a photo shoot deal though. All right, the Brock Lesnar. So, you know, Baby Brock, Ultimate Edition. Little Baby Brock.
00:50:15
Speaker
I'm not in love with this one, man, just because I kind of prefer Elite articulation over the Ultimate Edition articulation. And they just released that updated Elite just last year. So I think I might actually be passing on this one.
00:50:27
Speaker
Yeah, it is, it is kind of weird, you know, seeing him without the, uh, the sword tattoo as well. It's, uh, it's bare chested, but it really is baby Brock. Um, so that's, it kind of takes you back and you're like, holy crap. He did. There was at one point in time where there was a time, yeah, where he wasn't there. So, but yeah, yeah, I agree with you Seth. It's a, it's a, it's a no for me dog in the words of Randy.
00:50:54
Speaker
One, I know we're all getting the, we saw MOC that the individual figures from the Undertaker and Gobbledy Gooker. Oh, man. Beautiful. Oh, by every iteration of the Gobbledy Gooker that they'll put out. You know, the modern Gooker head and the classic ones, probably the least accessories we've ever seen come with an Ultimate Edition figure, but it doesn't matter, man. That thing's going to be beautiful. And that Undertaker's awesome too. Yeah, Undertaker's mage.
00:51:19
Speaker
All right. And then I thought they're, oh yeah. And we saw the usos. So what'd you guys think of the, uh, the, you know, I really don't even want to call them the usos, man. I think it's just another sign that he needs to be the guy to take down the tribal chief. Uh, Jay Uso is getting his own ringside exclusive two pack of ultimate edition figures. It's the, it's the J and J Uso pack.
00:51:39
Speaker
Like Jay Jay security accepts the Jay Jay. I think they look different. I don't think they look. They look slightly different. Maybe because a little bit, man, but not much, do they still both look like Jay Uso media? I mean, they think she's that same figure. I'll show you. I mean, but they're not identical twins. No, they're not, dude.
00:52:00
Speaker
The box is crazy, dude. Like the outer box that they're both coming in is insane. But look, there you go, Shane. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Yeah, I mean, that looks like 2J Usos to me. See, I could see the differences. I don't know. I mean... I have a twin trained eye for me, so... They did a little bit of tweaking from those ones we saw at that weird thing at Hogan's shop.
00:52:26
Speaker
It's a Jamie Uso and a Jay Uso. It's a Joshua and a Jay. There's a little bit of difference, but yeah, dude. If you just saw that one by itself, not side by side, and I was like, is that Jay or Jimmy? I would say that's Jay. Yeah, exactly. And that one, that's Jay.
00:52:42
Speaker
Like they're both Jay, dude. It's like, oops, all Jay. Wait, which one is supposed to be Jay? The one with the longer hair. That one is Jimmy. That's a half red hair. The one with bangs is Jimmy. The one with no bangs is Jay. Yeah, see? Yeah. Oh yeah. See, he's got the shorter. I can see, yeah, the longer hair in the back, yeah, with the back. But I don't even remember Jimmy's hair really being like that. I don't remember him having the bangs though, right? Jimmy's hair has always kind of just, it's been kind of been the same all these years, dude.
00:53:08
Speaker
I don't know man. No, he hasn't had the same hair. He said long and kind of short and I don't remember being super short dude. Not like Jay did dude. Yeah, that wasn't really short. He's always had long. Uh, Jimmy always had like the longer hair.
00:53:22
Speaker
Yeah. Even on the back of the box. Look, you don't even got that hair on the back of the box, dude. Look at the picture. That is Jimmy Uso. I know. That's what I'm saying. He never had those bangs like that. And he's got the mullet. Look, he's got shaved sides on that one. Yeah, he didn't have that hair. The good thing is the figures, the Jay Uso looks incredible. The Jimmy from the neck down looks incredible. And the good thing about Ultimate Editions, it's easy to do head swaps. So you got to figure that Mattel has heard enough bitching about it. They're going to give us a proper Jimmy sometime down the road.
00:53:50
Speaker
probably just grab it and throw that head sculpt on there. But I do think this is going to end up being the definitive bloodline Usos, man. I don't know. I love these figures, even aside from it being oops all J's. Oops all J's. Did you order these, Jordan? Because we're about to discuss an ultimate mission figure that you didn't order down the road.
00:54:12
Speaker
Yep, I sure did. Thanks. Glad we could talk about this, man. Really fucking chill. All right, and one last thing I wanted to discuss, ruthless aggression figure. Somehow, when most of the country hasn't even seen ruthless aggression three hit the pegs yet, ruthless aggression six is starting to hit shelves in some places, the final set of this. So I put it in the Facebook group today, but I'll pose a question to you guys, man. Between the figure selection and the distribution, is this the worst line that Mattel has ever put out?
00:54:41
Speaker
Yes. Yes, probably. I haven't seen any. I think when you combine it with a district, I don't really love any of the figures that have been out, dude, and then the distribution's been horrible. Awful. Yeah, I haven't seen any ruthless aggression figures at all, not even one.
00:54:59
Speaker
So where do you think they are? You think they're just like big lots and Ollies and shit? I think they're like Canada, man. I think Walmart's got a thing where they send a bunch of like rejected stock to Canada. That's how this one eBay seller got at least like five or six dozen cases of the Harley Race set. And he was smart. He would never throw them all at once. He'd put one set on there at a time. And when it would sell, he'd throw another set. I mean, he had that thing going for like two and a half years.
00:55:27
Speaker
There was constantly one set from the same seller in Canada. He probably made 60,000 bucks off of it. He'd sell on all these freaking figures. Hey, remember that time that that lady got that pallet of the Chief Jay Strongbows and you got one in New Zealand? Ouch. Oh, really? That lady didn't know what she had, dude. She could be sitting on a freaking beach in Costa Rica right now, man. You didn't know what you had either. One lady in Pennsylvania had every Chief Jay Strongbow figure, man.
00:55:55
Speaker
Can they reject, can like Walmart stores reject shipments?
00:56:03
Speaker
I'm not sure. So the way Walmart stock works, it's not as automated. They have like a buyer for each department. So if you have somebody just to sleep at the wheel, they may just not be buying these. And then the stores get the planograms, and that's what determines what pegs are up. And I think there was just a situation where for whatever reason, a lot of stores never had ruthless aggression pegs, so the figures weren't getting ordered.
00:56:30
Speaker
Cause I don't think they're short packed, right? None of these figures are like, none of them are super desirable, right? Like we're getting a first time in the line, Tori Wilson. That's probably gonna end up being like the, you know, the most historically significant figure from this whole line. Um, but yeah, dude, it's just, I, I wish Walmart would never get, get an exclusive line again, man. Target's been killing it ever since the legends came back with 2020. I got no beef with Target. They get those figures in, they get them on the shelves right away. They turn their shit around. Yeah. Walmart's been a mess, man.
00:56:58
Speaker
Jordan, what are you seeing there in the Midwest, man, with these? Dude, I've only seen the first two series on pegs. That's the only two I've seen at all the Walmarts around me. The Walmart by my house, whoever orders the toys there, that dude's sleeping at the wheel. He's like an 80-year-old dude.
00:57:17
Speaker
they just now put out like a bunch of Christmas Funkos last week from last year. I'm like, dude, what do we got going on here? They still haven't put out the, the Roman pack with the t-shirt in it. And I know they have it in the back somewhere. That's been out a long time. Yeah, dude. They, they never put out Cody or Bam Bam. Like those never went out at the Walmart by my house.
00:57:39
Speaker
I don't, the other thing I'm opposed to, when was the last time you saw a new superstars figure at a Walmart? I know, dude. It's horrible, man. They're already shipping there. You know, you can find up to series five on Palm bar, but you can't get past series three there. I think so target from what I gather, man, I think target kind of has a little bit more automation and every, every target's pretty much the same or pretty similar on the distribution where the Walmarts, they just vary wildly. I think there's a lot more human input on it.
00:58:05
Speaker
I know like the Walmart out here by our house out here in Oakland and the sticks like it sucks, dude. We have like 15 top picks Randy Orton's clogging up the pigs and a bunch of basics and like nothing here. But there's a Walmart by where I work at that whoever the buyer is there like they're on it, dude. I see not just wrestling stuff but like the Nintendo figures and Minecraft like
00:58:23
Speaker
Every time I go there, I'm seeing new shit I haven't seen yet, man. They're ordering the new stock when it becomes available to them and putting it out. That should at least give you some hope. If you got a handful of Walmart's within driving distance, just because one sucks doesn't mean the next one is. They all suck. I'm really dreading because I think even though ruthless aggression was a little bit of a dud for me, I think this Monday Night Wars line that they're getting next is going to be fucking awesome. I got to imagine it's going to be the same thing with the distribution on them.
00:58:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's not good. Dude, the one thing I'll say about Target, too, is if a figure sits too long on the pegs, they just clearance it out. They have no shame in clearancing something out down to $10. Walmart, they should have set for years, dude. Yeah, they don't care if they're on Elite 45 and Elite 103 is coming out. They're just going to leave it sitting there until it sells. I still see that Elite 86 Candice Laurier on the pegs hit our local Walmart, dude. Who's going to come in and buy that?
00:59:22
Speaker
Candice LeRoe. Maybe by the time they sell it, their kid will be old enough to buy it. All right. And we want to do a quick live review, sitting right here next to Sheena. Jordan, please stay on the line. We have the Ultimate Edition of Logan Paul. OK. First of all, looks awesome. The box is like super loud, kind of obnoxious, just like Logan Paul. Yellow and black got all these pictures of him.
00:59:50
Speaker
windowless, of course. So you, uh, you know, I'm not even an endless equal. Yeah. Pretty, pretty repug. I hate, hate windowless packaging, even though I'm like a, you know, a sustainable eco nerd. Like this just makes me, it's actually more packaging. That's the thing. It's like with the two boxes, not about the cardboard though. It's about the plastic.
01:00:09
Speaker
I know, but this, I mean, anyway. Yeah, honestly, they don't give a shit. It's just a check in the box. It's exactly, exactly. That's what it is. A really nice box. This looks like a premium figure. Yeah. So he's got the little, his little quote says, I am the table. Um, the box that's inside of the ship, like the actual like, you know, MOC box is really cool. This would have been a cool package all on its own. I don't even know what shape this is. You know, it's the killer about not having the bubble. Also, if you want to get this thing autographed, dude,
01:00:38
Speaker
Where are you getting assigned at? I guess you could do like a tiny signature like on that top panel there. You'd have to do it right here on the side on these black panels right here. The feng shui is going to be off on that. Yeah, the feng shui is definitely going to be off. You guys are using way too many big words tonight. Feng shui, circadian rhythm. The jacket, everything, the gear looks incredible. The only thing I will say, obviously they don't have the Pokemon license, so they can't do the Pokemon card and the necklace.
01:01:07
Speaker
We already got an order in. If you want to make your Logan Paul, take it from great to perfect, hit up Curb Stomp City Custom Decals on Instagram.
01:01:16
Speaker
He is putting together a tiny little decal. It's just a sticker. All you got to do is just peel it and stick it right on there so you'll have the Charizard Illustrator's card that he wore at WrestleMania 38. Yeah. Even if you didn't want to do that, even if you were an MOC collector or semi-MOC and you just cut the tape and looked at it, it needs to have something. There needs to be some gold or some silver or something. They got it. It's just like a white square. Like a white rectangle. Yeah, white rectangle. That's a rectangle. That's not a square.
01:01:44
Speaker
Okay. Well, what shape is this asshole? That's like, uh, just like a parallelogram. Um, but yeah, this is an incredible figure. It looks just like Logan Paul. Um, what are your thoughts?
01:01:59
Speaker
It's excellent, dude. It's missing the Pokemon sticker. And a mini prime. And a mini prime, dude. If I could get a little mini bomb pop prime in there, this would be the candidate for figure of the year, for sure. All three head scopes look really, really great. Love the sunglasses on. Yeah, super toy. It's just a cool figure, man. I'm looking forward to taking it out of the box and playing with it. The sunglasses are new. Yeah, they are.
01:02:23
Speaker
Yeah, it's a great figure. I'm sorry you guys don't have it. They didn't order it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm sorry you guys didn't order it. If we have a listener, the Foley fam always rallies for us. Jordan is dying to get one of these. He passed on it. Marco, are you trying to go back and get it or are you cool with a life without a Logan Paul? I'm probably not as crazy about it as Jordan is, but yeah, I'm definitely going to go back and try to get it.
01:02:48
Speaker
So if we have one con listener that won't rake Jordan over the coals, please reach out and we will help broker a deal between you guys to get a figure in his hands. If we have two con listeners, reach out and we'll get the second one to Mr. Marcheezmo up in Massachusetts. Bring Logan home. Bring Logan home. Hashtag bring Logan home. Yeah, overall stellar figure dude.
01:03:12
Speaker
How funny would it be if we told Jordan we scored an extra one and just sent him and it was like a freaking Roman Reigns basic in the box? Yeah, exactly. We should just send Jordan our box, dude. I offered him that. I told him that today, dude. Didn't I, Jordan? I texted him and said, do you want me to send you the empty box? Because he's MOC anyway. He's put some tape on there. Or I told him, I was like, we can send you the box and you can try to find a Lucy down the road for cheaper. He's a purist, dude. If that tape is cut, he don't want it, man.
01:03:39
Speaker
I could re-tape it for you. Actually, I could, and I scratched our box a little bit with my scissors. Hey, we can just tell Jordan, like, hey, bro, we found somebody that's going to hook you up, but they're going to send it to us. We're going to send it to you, but just tape it back up, make it look official. Some more empty box. I think that's a friendship ender right there for...
01:03:57
Speaker
I think that's a friendship builder that we would go through all that trouble. Yeah, that we would go through that trouble. Send me a fucking empty box. Yeah, I'm fucking riding around beating both of your asses. It would be an empty box. You would never know, though. In your mind, it would be a figure, dude. Yeah, and instead of giving some stranger on eBay 200 bucks, you could just give your friends 100 bucks. They'll never know the difference. They asked me some weight to it. Yeah, there is weight. I was just saying, I'll put a basic Roman Reigns in there. I got my little male scale. I'll see you exactly what this weighs.
01:04:24
Speaker
I have the little fishing, fishing weights we can put in there and make it match up. Exactly. And we have like, we have a freaking box upstairs full of like giveaway figures that we use for our Foley family. We just stick one of those in there. You'll never know the difference. The facts that you guys would even do that to me, like the fact that we're even talking about this makes me feel like this is my last episode ever of the Chick Foley show. I think we had a good run, man. I think that's what we're going to call it. We had a good run.
01:04:51
Speaker
Jordan does have that Ultimate Edition cane that came with the Mattel Creations ring from us, dude. He doesn't know. He's never opened it up. He doesn't know what's in there. I'm opening it after we get off this show, and I swear to God, that figure's not in there. That's content, dude. If we ever restart the Chick Foley YouTube channel, that can be the first video, dude. Jordan. Yeah. No, I'm opening it right after we get off the air. There's cane not in there. I'm telling you right now, if I open that figure after we get off air and it's not there, I'm driving down there two nights.
01:05:32
Speaker
I'm not a health insurance agent. I'm your insurance agent for your house and your cars. Neither one of those things is going to get damaged in this.
01:05:43
Speaker
Well, uh, don't put it past me to strike a match from this, uh, this mofo. Wow. This is on air recorded everything. All right. So you ready to get into, uh, how many chicks? Oh yeah.
01:06:15
Speaker
All right. How many chicks is where we randomly select one of our 1500 wrestling figures. It's in the undertaker's casket. And, uh, Sheena is going to unveil. Oh, I forgot to get the, uh, the drum roll on our soundboard. Oh, man.
01:06:46
Speaker
Music's not a hundred percent accurate. This is the Survivor Series 2021 heel Bailey figure. Yeah, she's got her soccer mom haircut. She's wearing like her like queen, you know, Game of Thrones style headdress. I'm sending you guys the, uh, I'm sending Jordan Mirko, you guys, the, the link from wrestling. The white blazer, the booty is wildly inaccurate. It's way too flat. Yeah. Bailey got a wagon. But yeah, wagon Wednesday.
01:07:15
Speaker
Yeah, Wagon Wednesday. Overall, this is a good-looking figure. I mean, looks just like Bailey. No issues, right? One of only two heel Baileys that we've gotten in a leap form. We got that yellow one where she's killing the Bailey buddy. She still had the ponytail then, right? And then we got this one. No, she's already gotten the short hair. Whenever she sees that one, the mom, I call it the Karen cut. Do you remember this figure causing some marital strife for us?
01:07:42
Speaker
when I lost the head dress. Yeah, we had done like, I think it was back when we were still doing an unbox of mania and it was late at night. And so I just went to bed afterwards and the figures were left sitting on like either the fireplace or like the kitchen bar in our house in Virginia. And you had let Sissy like pick her up and play with her the next day. And she lost that crown somewhere in the house. And you were like, it's just that little crown. And I was like, dude, that's the thing that makes the whole freaking figure, dude.
01:08:09
Speaker
But I found it, did I not find it? Yeah, we searched high and low and I found that freaking crayon. The thing that's weird about this figure, so the jacket Bailey wore actually had this yellow print on it and you could see it very faintly on the jacket. You see that? It's so faint, I don't even know why they bother doing it, dude. I can't remember if it was like... Let's see, I never even noticed that. Like a lace style jacket or what?
01:08:32
Speaker
But yeah, it's a very weird jacket, because Mattel usually doesn't do stuff like that. Yeah, because I mean, it almost looks like it's not supposed to be like that. It almost looks like the color is like... Like a cat's fist on her jacket or something. No, just like, you know, sometimes that stuff like... So look, there's a picture of the jacket. So see, it had like that kind of off-white emboss detailing on there. Yeah, it was like at the... I forgot. And they tried to recreate that effect and it just... Yeah.
01:08:55
Speaker
Yeah, this looks like it's like yellow. It just looks like the the jackets like, you know Got an old and kind of yellow, but Marco Jordan. Do you guys have this particular figure in your collection? I do All right, it's time for the you guys got any thoughts you want to share on it before we go to the official rankings Nope, I think you touched on all of it the cat piss jacket all that stuff
01:09:19
Speaker
It's cool, like I said, I think it's the best heel Bailey figure out of two we've gotten, but yeah, it's, I don't know, we'll save it for the rankings. So Sheena, actually I'll go first, man. So I will give this figure, I'm giving it a 2.5 dude, just because I think it does capture heel Bailey, but I don't really love the look of it. I don't like the jacket. I'm not the biggest Bailey fan, so I don't got a ton of like emotional investment in it. So I'm going a little bit low on this one. I'm going 2.5.
01:09:50
Speaker
You want me to go next? We'll let Marco go next. Yeah, I'm going to go two with this one. Like I said, out of the two that they gave us, this is definitely the better of the two. Yeah, like I said, the jacket, the P-Sane jacket, not sure what the hell is going on with it. That headdress, yes, I've lost that countless times and it popped up countless times as well.
01:10:19
Speaker
I actually still have it. I have like an accessory area where I have all my accessories. I actually do still do have this. But yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of a bare bones Bailey figure. And like you said, not not accurate as well. Physically accurate. So if it had probably been a couple more points, but now it's a two jazz wars wouldn't have done her like that. All right, Jordan, what do you give it?
01:10:48
Speaker
Um, yeah, not having the wagon is a major downgrade. That's like three points off the figure. I'm gonna go 1.8. I just, wow. That is the lowest rating that Jordan has ever given a figure on. I'm not a fan of this figure at all, man. There's just, there's not much at all. I like about this figure, honestly. So yeah, not, not a fan at all.
01:11:09
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to give it a two as well. I think the soft goods jacket was a total mess. I don't dislike the figure. I actually like the color of the gear is really pretty. I think the head sculpt and everything looks just like her. But this jacket is just like it doesn't fit the figure right. It's like this ugly.
01:11:26
Speaker
Velcro closure on the front. It just looks unfinished and we talked about the the yellowing on there So yeah, it's that the jacket was a huge miss rubber pocket jacket Yeah, that's the rare figure that I feel like if it was just her in ring gear like I think it Yeah, the ring gear would have been a little bit better. Yeah, that accessory is going to take away from it. So he ends up with a 2.1
01:11:46
Speaker
her at 13th out of 15 figures we rated since we reset the how many chicks grading scale. The only ones lower than her was the first ever Bray Wyatt pop that was like, he was kind of past like cult leader Bray, he was kind of just in like random, super long promo, Bray, and then the basic 118 Austin theory. So yeah, so Bailey is way down there at the bottom of the chick scale. Sheena, we got any listener mail? Oh yeah.
Fun Introspective and Listener Questions
01:12:22
Speaker
All right, first question comes in from the hidden gem, Matt Carlos. He says, which pro wrestler best describes each host's energy? Hope that makes sense.
01:12:31
Speaker
I feel like Sheena should answer this for all of us. For all of you? Because we can't say whatever energy we have. Yeah, we can't do that. No, I'm not good at that. Think on it, and you can come back to it, OK? So we'll circle back to that. You'd be thinking about it, and that would be a cool way to close the show. Yeah. OK. All right. Because if I'm picking, I'm going to be like, well, you know, I think I'm a mix of like Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino, and like 1987 Hulk Hogan. I don't like this. I think you guys should pick for yourself. No, you're going to pick for us.
01:13:01
Speaker
All right. You know, I'm the word. You got time to think of it. Okay. TNT says, will you ever do a Foley casino battle Royal down the road? Ooh. Um, I don't know if it's possible, man. I think so. He's, I think what he's referring to is like the rumble. Yeah. The 2k rumble. Um,
01:13:19
Speaker
on 2K23 doing it on AW. I mean, I got to check it out, man. I got to mess with it, but it's only four people in the ring at a time. If they expand it and make it more comparable to the Rumbles on 2K23, I'd be open to it, but I just don't think it'd be as entertaining to watch TNT, even though it is a good idea in theory.
01:13:40
Speaker
I already got it, man, and I really enjoyed what I played so far. So I know it's not going to be the same type of experience, 2K23, but if you go into it with that expectation, there is a ton of fun to be had. You going to let them chime in on there? Yeah. Oh, did you jog at the new AW game? I am not yet. I did. I got it. Are you going to? I think so, yeah.
01:14:06
Speaker
That's pretty Marco. You got enough chance to play it. Yeah, I played it I wasn't aware that you uh, if you if you face somebody for like if someone has a title and you face them and you beat them you automatically win it even if you don't like because they're all like on 2k you can Set it as like a title match or not. Yeah, if you beat somebody in exhibition, you can get your your time But apparently I was looking you can actually have you seen the video of how many belts you can actually walk out with and
01:14:36
Speaker
Yeah, I can get up to like you can do they basically have Kenny's like belt collector. Oh, yeah, which is pretty cool. You have like five belts. So yeah, I think I'm going to have CM Punk when every single belt walk out and then send you the video of it. It's good thinking. Sambrough says who an AW does Brett the baby face gravitate to Sammy Guevara? That's his favorite dude. He loves Sammy Guevara. He just he watched some of the matches with the acrobatics. I think the kind of
01:15:03
Speaker
like punk-ish energy vibe, I think is, you know, kind of just resonates with the young kids who don't really, you know, they can't really see that the dude's actually just being an asshole. But yeah, he loves Sammy Guevara. He plays with his figures. That was the first match we did was Malachi Black and Luchasaurus. Then I went and worked out and let Brett kind of just play by himself and he was all Sammy. All right.
01:15:28
Speaker
Sambro also says let me pitch this to you an in scale elite style figure line called dark side of the ring the controversial collection Set of four figures in each series all from wrestlers focused on the show. Would you be a completionist? Who would who would be in series one?
01:15:43
Speaker
I would most likely be a completionist. I could see this being something maybe like Power Town would do. It seems kind of like right in their wheelhouse. I think we could maybe each pick a figure from somebody that's been on Dark Side that we'd like. I'll go first. I would love to get like an Ultimate Edition Marty Gennady, man. Like Marty always has some crazy gear. He was a really good wrestler and I just think that'd be like super toyetic. Yeah, I want a Luna, Vashawn. I think a Luna would be an awesome figure.
01:16:08
Speaker
I'm going to go Dino Bravo. Oh, yeah. I'm going to get him to head sculpts. You could have one like from wrestling and the other one from when the Canadian French mob put like six bullets in his head. That's what I was thinking. I was thinking like I got an old death one like you could do a Chris Benoit, Dino Bravo, Jimmy Snooker and Owen Hart. Just the death set.
01:16:31
Speaker
Yeah. Damn. Jesus Christ. I'm going. Well, y'all are, y'all are dark. Since you guys are going to give his pick, since you guys picked all the wrestlers, I'm going to go with, uh, I'm going to go with someone else. Uh, I'm going to go with the Herb Abrams, uh, complete with the UWF belt that you can fold and actually do the FU.
01:16:51
Speaker
I got Dan turnquist to make me that belt and figure for him, dude. You could get her with like a, you could do a head sculpt with like, you know, Coke, like ripping down his freaking upper lip. I was gonna say, you gotta have like a five pound bag of Coke in that. Just a bunch of rails. Just ship it MOC with like a bunch of like white dust, like inside with the figure and stuff. Awesome.
01:17:12
Speaker
Sam Bro, Seth wants to know, is your phone in military time or normal time? It's in normal time. Even though I will say military time definitely makes way more sense than this AMPM fucking
01:17:23
Speaker
system that's been imposed on us just to kind of instill confusion in the masses. Yeah, it definitely does make more sense. But also, you're one of the few military people that I know that doesn't use military time in a regular conversation. I just never want to seem like a goober, dude. I feel like no offense to anybody that does that because it's just habit, but I feel like you just sound like such a goober when you try to... I feel like most people that know me, unless I mentioned it, they probably wouldn't even really know that I was in the military, you know? Yeah. At times at 2,200 tonight, maggots.
01:17:51
Speaker
Yeah. We're going to be podcasting at 0.530. 0.530. What? In uniform with a fresh shave. Yeah. What are you talking about? 0.530. I was going to say 0.530.
01:18:02
Speaker
The OG Fig Kid, Tom Montalto wants to know, going back to an episode a couple of weeks ago where we learned of Sheena's tanning habits. Of course, Tom would ask this. This is the new Tom Montalto. He subscribes to every single Pro Wrestler's Only Fans. If you're a female Pro Wrestler and you have an Only Fans or a Fan Time or a Pornhub premium,
01:18:22
Speaker
Fucking Clyde and Tom's DMs. He will pay that eight bucks a month for fucking special access. He said, my question is for the Fig God, and I would like to know how he came across that information in the first place. Well, I've got cameras on the Phelps compound just in case they decide to torch the place. Yeah, for insurance purposes. And one day she knows just out back. Yep, feet to the sky.
01:18:52
Speaker
He's got the place bug, Tom. That's how he knows. Zach Hertzler wants to know, baked, fried, or grilled chicken? Fried chicken. Yeah. Yeah. It's just not even a question, fried chicken. Sam Bro, what's your go-to snack in a movie theater?
01:19:19
Speaker
I'm actually not a big movie theater snack or did my thing in the movie theaters for whatever reason i feel like it's projects in the style of the morning thing like i always love getting like a sprite at the movies that's what i got as a kid so i would get a large spright not just pick it whatever kids get.
01:19:35
Speaker
Oh, I love I like all kinds of movie theater snacks. I definitely gotta have popcorn. Love popcorn. I love popcorn mixing M&Ms in the popcorn. And I talked about that to my son Brett and he loves that now too. But also I really like to take Starburst in because Starburst lasts a long time. You know, you can like they'll last throughout the whole movie like you can crush a thing of M&Ms like
01:19:57
Speaker
quick fast and
Movie Snack Preferences
01:19:58
Speaker
in a hurry. But like, you know, Starburst, you kind of take your time, unwrap them, you know, you save them. Yeah. Whereas like, you know, other snacks tend to go a lot quicker. What about you, Marco? What's your favorite snack movie snack? Man, I'm not definitely popcorn, but I was always like a snow caps person to
01:20:17
Speaker
I like snow caps too. I'm 38 years old. I've never once in my life heard anybody be like, man, I can go for some snow caps. You only get them at the theater. You only get it from that weird house you went trick-or-treating at, dude. Dude, snow caps are actually pretty darn good. It's like a chocolate drop with sprinkles. You get those from the house of the guy that was looking at you through the fence while you were swimming in the summer.
01:20:42
Speaker
Yeah, go to that house and freakin racking up then. Exactly. What about you Jordan? I'm a nachos or pretzel bites kind of guy at the movies. I'm not a huge sweets fan. I mean, I like them, but I'm more of a, I want to get some sustenance in me while I'm sitting there paying $87.
01:21:03
Speaker
We learned that whenever you got the hot dog with the cheese sauce, dude, you made your dreams new. Always ready. Yeah, always ready with the cheese. Who even thought of that brainchild? You know what I mean? Jordan Wells, always ready. Jordan Wells, always ready. When I asked for it, I wish you guys could have seen Seth's face. Oh, I can see his face right now. I know what it looked like. Dude, it was like the funniest thing ever. He just looked at me like, you motherfucker.
01:21:30
Speaker
Great idea. I didn't think that'd even be a thing. They didn't charge them extra or anything, dude. They just went and hooked it up. They drowned that motherfucker here. Them dogs were swimming, dude. Sounds kind of dry, dog. Yeah. Sambro wants to know, what's some body type changes you'd like to see on elites and ultimates?
01:21:51
Speaker
So, you know, my biggest like, you know, figure architecture complaint is something that's really been an issue like the last two, two and a half years, dude, they've, I think it's something where I don't think they like made major changes to the things they may have just had them been something happened at the factory, but it's like,
01:22:09
Speaker
The either like that ball shoulder joint or this is specifically on elites that ball shoulder joint and like the upper torso where it connects like either the Either like where the shoulder is got like a couple millimeter smaller or that ball joint got a couple millimeters bigger But it's like tight as fuck now, dude Like I have some wrestlers that like don't have you can't really do like the full range of motion with their shoulders I feel like I'm gonna like snap the torso in half or snap his arm off trying to move the arms man
01:22:35
Speaker
So if I had just one little like super super quirk to complain about it'd be that dude I feel like I've had a lot of figures especially like they're really muscular guys more than anybody else man I feel like it's a pain in the ass moving their shoulders around Did you talk about just elites or just all figures in general? If you like the ultimate articulation like it definitely works not bad, I mean this is definitely off the
01:23:00
Speaker
off of that topic, but with the unmatched and the unrivaled figures, the scales on them are pretty bad. Have you ever taken the new Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson figure and put it against his Mattel one? He's like a giant. He's like freaking Paul White.
01:23:22
Speaker
hovering over, like it's insane. The scales on most of the figures are, they're not too, and I think I'm just being really nerdy with it. No, the scale makes it. That's one of the biggest reasons why Mattel's the best figure line ever, dude. Yeah, AW, like they're trying to just scatter shot. Yeah, some stuff's really, really done really, really well, and then you'll have like a Mox figure that's like six foot 10. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, it really annoys me.
01:23:52
Speaker
Jordan, you good on ultimates and points? I would have to like take the figures out of the box for me to tell you. He's the most sweetest. Oh, that's right. He has no idea. Me and Marco could have been speaking Greek for the last round. He's like, these things move? Yeah. Thanks for excluding me though. Jordan's like nerds. Well, I'll toss this one to you first, Jordan. Sandbro says, you boys fans of mom jeans?
01:24:15
Speaker
I mean, I feel like you have to have the right dumper to wear, be wearing mom jeans. Like I feel like if you're, you got it like a flat ass or something like that, like the mom jeans are a little unappealing. It just makes it look like you got from your middle of your back all the way down to your calves is just one, one body part. So I don't know. I'm not a huge fan of mom jeans, but like I said, if you got a nice turd cutter, I think it works. Yeah. Depends on the body type. Yeah. You'd be right about that.
01:24:44
Speaker
Sambrough says, what's a wrestling podcast you like that you feel flies under the radar? We've shouted out a bunch on here, but I've never seen it get widespread acclaim. Check out the New Generation Project podcast. I was going to say New Jim. Yeah, that's a good one. You said it before. It's great. Three British guys that are super funny. You go back and watch from King of the Ring 1993 to WrestleMania 14. It's outstanding.
01:25:04
Speaker
Yeah, I never hear anybody talk about that podcast. My favorite podcast ever. Yeah, I've listened to it multiple times. It's been over like four years. But it's evergreen content. Everything is still on there though, so you can go back. If you haven't checked it out yet, you could binge and have your podcast set up for the next three or four months. Yeah, it's amazing. You guys got any wrestling podcasts that you got that are low key?
01:25:27
Speaker
Nope. Yeah, I was going to say raw down, but, uh, whatever. I mean, if you want to listen to that, let's say it's, uh, yeah, check out the raw down on, uh, YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts over on the turnbuckle tavern feed. Sandra was a finisher or special move. You wish you wish would come back. No one does the longest ride power bomb anymore. I would love to see it come back. Hmm.
01:25:52
Speaker
I don't know, man. I feel like as far as moves go, we're kind of living in the peak era, man. I can't really think anything off the rip, dude. Hulk Hogan's big leg drop does hit different, man. For a while there, after I first became a Smark, I was like, he used a leg drop for his finisher, looking back at it. But if you go back and watch, dude got some fucking height on it. So I think a big man just using a high elevation leg drop like that could work. Not a big girl like Nijax.
01:26:16
Speaker
Well, I mean, not to go sexist, dude. Sometimes the girls don't really got the athleticism to get the height. The big girls don't get the height. Holt got some air on that fucking leg drop. It's probably why his back's so fucked up now, man. And it's such an iconic move. It would be a little bit of nostalgia, man. You had a big guy that started doing the leg drop for his finish. Sambro, what's a good late 90s, early 2000s trend you would like to see again?
01:26:46
Speaker
No social media would be cool or like no smartphones would be cool.
Impact of Social Media on Podcasting
01:26:52
Speaker
Well, we wouldn't be doing this podcast if that was the thing. Hey, I think we would all be better off. We would be doing this podcast. There was still podcasts. This would have never existed if you wouldn't have created the Instagram. So no, we definitely would not have been doing this. And we wouldn't be friends with Marco or Jordan. We met Jordan through Twitter. We met Marco through Twitter and IG. But we already know them now, so we could take that stuff away. We don't have to expand any further.
01:27:20
Speaker
You know what I mean? How many movies have you watched, dude? You can't go back in time without crazy consequences, dude. Yeah, haven't you ever seen The Avengers? Like, you're gonna ruin the timeline. That's true. Well, he's saying a trend that you would like to see come again.
01:27:35
Speaker
And again and again and again. Girls in chokers. Wow, interesting. That's really something. I think we need to bring back like, remember when Justin Timberlake was doing the blonde tips in his hair? Yeah, frosty. Yeah, we need to bring that back. That was such a good look. I can't believe I made that happen in high school. It looked really good. It's pretty Justin Timberlake doing it. What about Michael Cole with the frosted tips? Oh, yeah.
01:28:01
Speaker
What about, uh, do, uh, what about bull cuts? Is that a thing? That was like early nineties. We don't ever need it. It was an early nineties thing. Yeah, but it was the bull cuts had a big moment. Yeah. I think, um, the late nineties, early two thousands is already back, dude. Gen Z is like rocking all the late nineties.
01:28:21
Speaker
like stuff. Yeah. Jinkos, Tommy Hill figure, all that stuff came back with a vengeance. So a quick search brought back. Uh, we need to bring back bandana headbands. Oh, sequence. Wow. Colored sunglasses, layered, layered clothing and sheer fabric.
01:28:38
Speaker
That's already back all that stuff's already back. I feel like if you were really cool the bandana headband never really went out, dude I don't remember that that's He's worn a bandana headband since the beginning of time. So it's like Frank Ocean, dude. Who's cooler than Frank Ocean? I like Frank Ocean. Yeah What's the fanciest restaurant you've ever been to? It's gotta be sushi sesabooni, right? Yeah, sushi sesabooni. We talked about it on here before yeah, super fancy authentic Japanese sushi bar. Yeah
01:29:05
Speaker
I'm going to go 801 Chop House. It's in Omaha. It's like a really high scale steakhouse. Steakhouse. That sounds fancy. You got to buy all the sides, like all a cart. All a cart, yeah. It's like 22 bucks for a thing of mashed potatoes, right? Yeah, family style sides. They got lobster mashed potatoes.
Dining Experiences and Cultural References
01:29:20
Speaker
They got... So last time we were there, I got a Wagyu Tomahawk steak. Damn, damn. That was a smooth 250 bucks just for that steak. Bro, that's cheaper than I was expecting you to say, dude. I was thinking you were going to tell me that was like $6, $700.
01:29:32
Speaker
And it was, yeah, I mean, if you're going to get a steak- Did you share it or did you house that mofo? Oh, no, no, no. Share. Sheena, have you seen me? Do you think I'm sharing a steak with anybody? Tomahawk's a pretty massive piece of meat. I'm a pretty massive piece of meat. Oh, man. Oh, my God. Marco, fancy's restaurant.
01:30:00
Speaker
Probably Del Fresco's, we do that every year. It's a Del Fresco's double eagle steakhouse. I think I spoke about- Is that where you go on your anniversary, right? Yeah, and I think, yeah, the most we spent was this past year, it was almost $400. Yeah, we both looked at the check and we were like, I don't think we belong here ever again. But yeah, we usually go there every year.
01:30:28
Speaker
All right, were any of you guys juggalos? That's our next question. I was not. I mean, I wasn't a juggalo, but I listened to some ICP back in the day. I'll admit it. Yeah, for those of you who don't know, juggalos are insane clown posse marks. They go to the concerts and they wear all the makeup. Clown makeup. It's like a whole vibe, dude. They don't feel a fago, a car full of fat chicks. Yeah, definitely was nodding. Everybody loves ICP.
01:30:55
Speaker
There was this dude I worked with in the Navy that was telling me about one of his weekend escapades and this really nasty chick that he got drunk and banged and he said, I woke up the next morning and he said she looked like a juggalo with her makeup off. That's like the first thing. And this was in like 2008. This guy told me this, man. So this is like 15 years that this story has been embedded in my mind off that one line. That's great.
01:31:18
Speaker
She wasn't even, I don't think, to my knowledge, she didn't even know what an ICP was, dude. But yeah, she said she looked like a juggler with no face paint.
Movie Watching Preferences
01:31:28
Speaker
Oh, Zach Hertzler. You're going to a movie. Are you going to a movie theater or a drive-in to see the movie? I'm going to a movie theater. I'm streaming at home from my couch. Well, that's the, ideally, yes. I'm streaming at home from my couch. Second, I'm going to go to a movie theater, but it's going to be like a bougie theater with like the reclining seats and like, you know,
01:31:46
Speaker
I do want to take the kids that are driving sometimes. We got to drive in a Memphis set. Maybe if it lines up, I'll take them because I remember going to drive in a couple of times with my parents when I was a kid and it was always a pretty neat experience. I have never been to a drive-in movie. What? It's pretty fun. It's not like the ideal way to watch a movie, but it is kind of a mythic and nostalgic. It's just cool, man, every once in a while.
01:32:06
Speaker
My friends, parents would take us to the drive-in with them like every other Friday. If there was a non-R rated movie, we'd go with them. But all I can never remember is because they charged you per person in the car. And you'd always tell us, hey, lay down in the backseat and cover yourself with blankets. I don't have to pay for you little bastards. I feel like the one we went to was always pay by the carload, man. This one was per person.
01:32:30
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I remember I watched Batman Returns, man. The second Tim Burton Batman. I watched that at the drive-in. That's a good one.
01:32:39
Speaker
Brian Vermeer, Mattel Creations' crowdfunding idea, Lego Ring. There are four tiers, which would be wrestlers. Each of you pick a tier of the wrestler and the pose they would be in. Can you pose Lego figures? I thought Lego figures. I mean, let's just hypothetically hear, right? I'll go with Brett. Give me a classic 1991 Bret Hart Lego figure.
01:33:00
Speaker
I'm going to go stone cold Steve Austin with like double beer hands, like, you know, pouring down the gullet, you know, like jeans and vest. Like what's he wearing? I mean, like, you know, post-match, uh, you know, celebration beer, beer celebration. Well, what about you, Jordan? I mean, I'm going ultimate warrior, obviously. It doesn't really matter the attire as long as it's ultimate warrior. So.
01:33:23
Speaker
Is he going to be just like in his running pose? Oh yeah, that'd be perfect. Or in the gorilla press pose like any of those would work or with a line of coke out of his nose. I mean, all of them would work. Marco. Oh man, I think you're going to go macho king.
01:33:40
Speaker
Uh with the uh with the scepter and everything like that because you have like the little yeah, all the accessories perfect You know if they were you guys just kind of sparked some inspiration in me man if they were gonna do this and make it like a little mini Like lego arena like we've seen that that lego ideas thing that's been kicked around. Yeah, rest of mania 7 would be a nice one That show had a really nice aesthetic remember had those uh, those red white and blue. Um Like banners or like whatever you call those men like hanging over all the rafters and stuff. It'd be nice You could do warrior macho from that
01:34:09
Speaker
All right, Shane's got to go back to the hidden gem, Matt Carlos question. Okay. Grand finale of the show right here. Which pro wrestler best describes each host's energy? So for Seth, I think I'm going to go with
Pro Wrestler Energies for Hosts
01:34:22
Speaker
Mox. Because if you don't think about Mox in his personal life, he's a pretty like chill, low key guy. Just family man. You wouldn't think he's like the lunatic fringe, you know.
01:34:33
Speaker
And uh, that was Dean Ambrose. Well, you know what I mean? Who is Dean Ambrose? Marks is still fucking unhinged violence or whatever. That's what Mark. Unhinged violence. Yeah. Seth is definitely not unhinged in any way, shape or form. I don't think that makes him unhinged. Um, and then Marco, I'm going to go with Keith Lee just because like,
01:35:00
Speaker
He's a gentle giant, kind of calm, you know? And like, I feel like if I needed Marco to like represent me, I could send him somewhere to talk to somebody and I wouldn't have to worry about Marco like, you know, saying no stupid shit or nothing, you know what I mean? I feel like Marco would be a good representative for me if I had to send him out to talk about like the Chick-Fully show or something. So that reminds me of Keith Lee. And then Jordan, I'm gonna go with Roman Reigns, just because Jordan loves Roman Reigns so much.
01:35:28
Speaker
What a cop out of an answer. No, I'm just joking. No, I'm just joking. I think for Jordan, I would go with solo Sequoia just because I think Jordan is like a loyal, like best friend. Like he's the guy you want to have like as your wing man dude. Like, you know, if some shit's going down, like Jordan is going to be there like by your side and I could totally see him giving. So what does that make you Roman Reigns? A fucking Samoan spike for somebody. Could Roman be in Marco or the Usos? Yeah, exactly.
01:35:57
Speaker
So yeah, that's who's energy, I feel like. Well, who's energy am I, Seth?
01:36:04
Speaker
Vince McMahon, Tyrant. Tyrant makes last minute changes to the format of the lead. That's true. 30 seconds before we're going on the air, dude. If anything goes sideways on the show, she goes into a freaking blind rage, dude. Those were the only and emotionally abusive to the rest of the other people on the show. I've never verbally or...
01:36:28
Speaker
abused any of you guys. We've been recording the last 10 minutes where the show started in the last couple years, dude. I think we'd have some pretty big body of evidence to go against that. Oh my gosh. Well, thank you for that question, Matt Carlos. Yeah, that was a really good question, man.
01:36:46
Speaker
A bit of deep thought. All right, Sheena, remind the listeners where they can find you guys on social media. You can find me on Instagram at Chick Foley. Marco runs the Twitter machine at Chick Foley Show.

Speaker
All right, it is trivia time. I forgot to check. We can pick a number. Here, I'll pick the number real quick. Did I get the trivia question right last time? Yeah, it's still you. Yeah, you did. It's still you. Okay. All right, I can't remember what the streak is at, which is good, because that actually lowers some of the pressure a little bit. I think you're at two. What did you say, Jordan? You're at two. Okay. All right, so three makes a streak. All right, hit me with it, Shane. All right.
01:37:59
Speaker
At the 1995 King of the Ring, Savio's second round opponent was... Alright, Mabel got a bye through the first round because Shawn Michaels and Kama were in a time of withdrawal. The Undertaker lost to Mabel. Savio Vega's second round opponent in 1995.
01:38:32
Speaker
That was a tough one. That was a tough question, dude. Yeah, that was nice. I mean, but Savvy, I mean, I was, it is a pretty obscure. I remembered Mabel being an undertaker. And I remember, I remembered, I remembered Savio and Mabel in the finals. I remember Mabel being an undertaker. And I remember Sean and comma going to that time of a draw. That's my, that's the extent of my memories for the 95 King of the Ring. One of the worst paper views of all time. When she said 95, I was like, good God, might as well just hand in the trophy.
01:38:47
Speaker
I really don't know, dude. For some reason, IRS is sticking out my mind. Was it IRS?
01:38:59
Speaker
That was in my wheelhouse, but I'm telling you, dude, that's the one. I've watched 1995 WWF probably 25 times in the last nine years since the network's been out. The one show I always fucking skip, even a new generation hardcore like me is that King of the Ring show. It's dreadful, dude. I think the main event is like Sid and Diesel and it's just
01:39:20
Speaker
Everything like honestly Shawn Michaels and comma time limit draw is the best match on that show if that tells you how bad it is There's a kiss my foot match between Bret Hart and Jerry Waller. Oh god. Yeah That's a good one. I don't man. I don't it's I mean, it's funny I guess but I was joking. I don't like when Brett's wrestling the Memphis style, dude I like Brett just doing his thing but
01:39:41
Speaker
Yeah, Kingering95, that's definitely in the mix for my worst pay-per-views of all time. It's actively bad. It's not just like boring. It's offensive. So thanks for that question, Sheena. You brought up a lot of bad memories. All right, Sheena, hit us with some closing thoughts as we head into Money in the Bank weekend.
01:39:55
Speaker
Everybody have a safe holiday weekend. You're gonna be celebrating Independence Day, July 4th, so just make sure. Best damn country in the world. Yep, just make sure. Sorry to all of our people overseas, our overseas listeners. Sorry, we love you guys too, but America's America. America. America. You did this. These colors don't run, baby. Yep, so stay safe, be smart, and call an Uber.
01:40:21
Speaker
Bye!
