Admiration for Vince and Roman Reigns Incident
00:00:01
Speaker
Disgusting, is it not? I mean, my father is one of the greatest men that have ever lived. My father, Vince, is like a national treasure. And when Roman Reigns hit him, it was like disgracing the American flag, defacing around much more.
Introduction to Chick Foley Show and Childhood Reflections
00:00:41
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a Chick Foley show. Welcome in. Man, I remember going around much more when I was a kid with my parents. Great times. You're listening to the Chick Foley show. This is Phil Gentile, AKA the hot take kid. Sheena Phelps across the, across the world and Honolulu. How are you doing Sheena? Pretty good, man. Pretty good.
Parenting Challenges
00:01:06
Speaker
Making it. Um, I feel like, uh,
00:01:08
Speaker
My son, the baby phase, he's like, he's only 20 months, but I think he's hitting those like terrible twos kind of early man. He has been irritable. So, you know, if I'm a little off my game today, it's because the last couple of days he's like, he goes from, he's like a sour patch kid. He has those little patches of time where he's like, you know, this like amazing little cute blob of humanity. And then he like, his head flips around. He's the exorcist.
00:01:31
Speaker
That doesn't change, Sheena. I'm three years after you and it's still the same thing. Oh, man. The good thing now is he can pee and poop on his own and he can play with wrestler toys. True. And he can communicate what he wants. I think that's the biggest thing. Well, that's a good thing and a bad thing, yeah.
00:01:49
Speaker
Well, that's true, too. But I just had this squawking human that I'm supposed to interpret. Yeah. Because he's not a baby, but he's also old enough to know what he wants and what he doesn't want. But he can't really tell you. Those were tough months, for sure. Totally. All he has to do is say, give me what I want. And I would give it to him. Batista style. Batista style. Don't rip out his nose ring, please.

Community Shoutouts and Networking
00:03:24
Speaker
I've had some really good responses from last week's episode, kind of going through the superstar shakedown. I liked how we kind of went superstar by superstar and kind of tried to predict what we thought was going to happen. Some of the things we predicted did happen this week, so we looked smarter than we probably are.
00:03:42
Speaker
Yeah, well, and then a lot of things got undone too. But before we get into all that, I definitely want to shout out our partners at Wiretap Radio. They are definitely amazing partners to have.

And, uh, one of their hosts, Eric Brown, just had a baby, uh, baby boy or girl. I figured it was a baby boy or girl. I should probably know this, but, um,
00:04:51
Speaker
We've been talking back and forth. So Eric, congrats on the new addition to the family. And it's a gift and a curse, but more so a gift for sure. Totally. It's tough.

I also wanted to, there's another podcast I wanted to get people into because I've been listening, I've been, I don't know, I just feel like I've been getting into more wrestling and podcast than I used
Retro Wrestling Perspectives
00:05:29
Speaker
to before. There's a podcast called Our Vantage Point, which is an awesome podcast. It drops every Monday and it's very similar. It's like two hours long. It's a great listen. And it's very similar to Bruce Pritchard's podcast where they kind of go back. It's kind of a retro wrestling podcast where they just go back in time and look at like a certain event.
00:05:48
Speaker
But more from a fan perspective than like, you know, obviously Bruce Prichard behind the scenes, but It's a great a great show the two guys that hosted do a really good job. We're friends with them on Twitter So give them a follow at OVP podcast on Twitter and they're definitely doing some good work. So check them out there
00:06:06
Speaker
And you mentioned Pro Wrestling Tees. You can find her shirts there. We are now over 1,000 followers on Twitter. So thank you, guys. Later in the show, we're going to announce our Finn Balor NXT Elite giveaway. For a couple weeks ago, we asked people to retweet our post about the newest episode and everyone that did was entered automatically. So we'll pick that winner later on this episode. Awesome.
00:06:31
Speaker
All right, let's get into inside the squared circle
Dean Ambrose's Farewell and Career Reflections
00:06:33
Speaker
sheen. A lot of stuff going on Sunday, I believe it was. We got a free house show on the network. I guess it wasn't free because we pay $9.99 a month, but- True. I love when they do this and this was a pretty cool, I didn't watch it yet, but I do love when they do this. Dean Ambrose's final match with the WWE or so we're led to believe. Did you watch this and what did you think?
00:06:56
Speaker
I actually didn't get to watch it. It was the shield's final chapter. And like you said, it was over the weekend. We were at a friend's house. We're counting down the days here on island. So we definitely want to make sure that we hit all of our friends before we leave. And they gave us a last minute impromptu invite over to enjoy some beverages and some food and have the little guy Easter egg hunt with the kiddos. So we went over. Heel husband was watching it on the phone, but I was obviously socializing and doing
00:07:23
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait, you had a barbecue and Seth is watching this on his phone.
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, you know, I mean, these are like really close friends of ours. Like, you know, it's not like, yeah, like they're like, you know, and he was still socializing and sitting, you know, knocking some beers back. And he just basically kind of had it like over to the side, like kind of propped up, you know, just so he could see what was going on. But yeah, I didn't get to actually watch the the event, but I did after the fact go back and watch, you know, once the show was over, Dean did this really great speech, just kind of like super inspiring, you know, kind of like
00:07:56
Speaker
The message being, don't take no for an answer. Don't give up on your dreams. When people are telling you no and shutting doors in your face, keep going. We're all proof of that. Seth Rollins and myself.
00:08:08
Speaker
All those things and I thought it was just such a cool message and then he was like, you know If anybody ever tells you know, you know, I can't remember what he said But then he said you said this the shield said so and I was like, oh they need to make that a shirt like the shield said so, you know Yeah, it was just it was a really really good feel-good moment I know we got kind of like his official on TV send off but I felt like this was a little more kind of off the cuff and a little bit more organic like you get with house shows and I thought it was I thought it was really great and
00:08:34
Speaker
Yeah, we're going to do a Patreon, a quick Patreon episode on this I think soon because I have a bunch of good ideas for some cool ideas for the network. But I don't know why they don't do this more often. I would love to see, even if it's once, I guess you could do it once a month because then you're kind of interviewing with the pay-per-views.
00:08:50
Speaker
Give me some more house shows. Give me some NXT house shows. When special things like this happen, I'm sure they're recording all of these house shows. And what better place to put on the network? And I did see a cool video of, I don't know who was wearing it, but I think it was Seth had a GoPro mounted to his head during their introduction to the arena for that show on Sunday. And it was pretty cool to see the fans were popping hard. And they came in through the crowd, obviously. And that was a cool moment.
00:09:19
Speaker
Yeah, I like this idea, and I hope they do this more often. But back to Dean Ambrose, it is going to be kind of bittersweet to see him go, especially after watching our retro wrestling recommendation of the week that you posted. Yeah. It brought me back some hit me in the feels for some really kind of primetime Dean Ambrose moments.
00:09:39
Speaker
Yeah you know um Dean he's had he's had an amazing career I'm very sad to see him go like you know I love the shield I love all three members of the shield Dean Ambrose included and um it just I think everyone deserves like if he wants time off if he's feeling burnout I don't know what the real reason why he's leaving none of us really do right but I feel like everyone deserves to
00:10:02
Speaker
be happy and enjoy their life. And if that means him taking some time off from in-ring, you know, competition and traveling and doing all that stuff, then I'm all for it. Like, I want Dean to be happy. I don't think this is the last we're going to see of Dean and WWE for sure. My question being like, what is this? What does this mean for Renee? Like, are we going to see Renee? Just going to bring this up, yeah.
00:10:25
Speaker
Yeah, part ways from WWE here in the near future. I mean, I haven't heard anything, but I can only assume that with her being on the road so much that if he's taking this time off, that it would be the perfect opportunity for her to kind of take that time off too and for them to kind of like spend some quality time together, even if she doesn't take off as long as he does, right? Maybe she just goes on like a brief hiatus and then comes back, but I definitely think she will.
00:10:51
Speaker
Well, I'm not trying to be smart, but I was thinking the same exact thing as you, but what does she do when she's not doing raw? I mean, I'm sure she records some stuff for the website and for the network. I mean, she used to have her own show on the network, which I really like, kind of like a one-on-one interview type of thing. But what does she do? I mean, I know she's an on-air talent. Does she do anything else during the week? I mean, she can't be going to house shows. I mean, there's no reason for her as an announcer to do that.
00:11:16
Speaker
her schedule is probably way more open than his. Maybe she works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or something like that and has the rest of the week off. She probably does appearances and stuff like that. I'm sure she has scheduled appearances and autograph signings and stuff like that that she has to do too. But yeah, as far as the wrestlers and stuff, I'm sure her schedule is more flexible. I don't really know how that works. Honestly, that would be a good question to ask
00:11:42
Speaker
the wrestlers you know like what are the schedules different for different talent like you know is the Charlie Caruso does her schedule is it a little bit more flexible than you know Dean Ambrose for instance but yeah I'm not sure how that works I never even really thought about that to be honest I just kind of thought like they're on the road all the time all of them yeah yeah I mean just one big bus full of people yeah what's your favorite all-time Dean Ambrose moment
00:12:08
Speaker
I mean I think if you're a Dean Ambrose fan one of your favorite all-time moments has to be his win at Money in the Bank when he became world champ. I mean that was just like the culmination of all of Dean's hard work and like you know we had been wanting Dean to be
00:12:26
Speaker
world champ for so long and he so deserved it and when he finally got that moment it was very very heartfelt but um that being the obvious choice he did he did have some other great matches uh like battleground 2016 against the shield um was really great and then where he defended the world title
00:12:44
Speaker
And then that I don't know if you remember this but he had an asylum match with Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules in 2016 where I mean like legitimately everything but like the kitchen sink was hanging above
00:12:57
Speaker
the freaking cage and I mean I think Marty the plant was the, no not Marty, Mitch was it Mitch the plant? Oh I forget, oh I know what you're talking about. Yeah for the Ambrose Asylum, it is definitely Mitch. Mitch the plant was even up there so I thought that was a very entertaining match with him and Chris Jericho. I mean it wasn't an all-timer but it's definitely memorable.
00:13:15
Speaker
Yeah, it was Mitch the plan. I just googled it real quick. He had some great matches against the Miz for the Intercontinental Title. I think there was actually one here for Extreme Rules in Baltimore that was really good. But those two had a good chemistry. Dean and Dolph had some great matches. And just going back, I guess I don't want to jump too far ahead, but that retro wrestling recommendation of the week, I went back and watched that whole show, that Money in the Bank 2016.
00:13:41
Speaker
Yeah. And there were some misses on that show, but I mean, it was right in the sweet spot of like, that's where Dean like really excelled. We had him and Sammy Zane and Kevin Owens and Jericho and those kinds of guys in that money in the bank ladder match, kind of the upper level midcard type of spot for him.
00:13:58
Speaker
I mean but he was in that match I think it was like he was in 2016 and and 17 I think he was in the title match but I think 15 he was in the in the he was in the money in the bank ladder match and he just kind of hanging around the same spot and it did eventually get kind of stale before he turned heel
00:14:15
Speaker
Yeah, well TLC was definitely the, not TLC, 2016 was definitely the year of Dean Ambrose. I was about to say he had an awesome match at TLC with AJ Styles too. So it's like, you know, that was like, that was like Dean's peak was like that 2016 year.
00:14:31
Speaker
Yeah, people pop big when he won that title. And when he showed up on SmackDown the next week, it was huge. He was definitely not a transitional champ. I felt like he was just like the other two guys in the shield. It was very fitting for him. He just felt like a good fit as the champion. So yeah, hopefully he
Viking Experience Name Controversy
00:14:49
Speaker
comes back. I don't think we see him gone for more than a year. I think he's back the way that WWE is now. You're thinking that he's back by SummerSlam.
00:14:58
Speaker
Or maybe, yeah, maybe the rumble would be a good time to reintroduce, you know, um, being a good time to introduce Dean back. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what his intentions are as far as like how much time he feels like he needs off. Um, but I mean, I don't think this was, this was not announced as a retirement as far as I know. You know what I mean? It wasn't like, Oh, Dean's retiring from in-ring competition. It was just like he's leaving.
00:15:22
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think he shows up anywhere else. But yeah, that would be a nice pop for Royal Rumble. Just don't even mention him for the other ones leading up to that. Can we talk about Renee being like total wife goals with her denim jacket with him airbrushed on the back? I was like, that is total wife goals right there. I loved it so much. Yeah, she wore it at the house show and it just looked, it was just awesome.
00:15:48
Speaker
So yeah, salute to Dean Ambrose. I would love to have a nice break from work after, you know. Those guys do work their ass off. I'm not going to downplay what they do. They put their body in the line, obviously. But you know, who can you just tell your job? Like, hey, I'm tired of this for now. OK, well, just come back whenever you want, you know? Yeah, you're welcome back at any time.
00:16:10
Speaker
So the WWE listened to the fans. Let's jump into Raw here because one of the biggest topics of last week's show was the Viking experience. And they have now changed it again to the Viking Raiders. So this is the third or fourth name change for this tag team. I guess their heels on Raw, but their faces on NXT. We haven't got any word if they're gonna be back on NXT to defend those belts. But man, what do you make of all this?
00:16:39
Speaker
Well, I mean, they had their, there was no other way. I mean, the outcry, I mean, you know, wrestling fans are very loud in their opinions, right? Like they will, they'll go on Twitter and rant about things, but I feel like this was like an overwhelming, just.
00:16:54
Speaker
Outrage toward like the Viking experience. It was just you know, and especially I think it I don't know I don't know that it would have been so horribly received if they hadn't just come off that incredible mania weekend performance at NXT Takeover, New York Where they just showed out and put on a freaking master class with Black Ashay, but I
00:17:16
Speaker
I mean, I like Viking Raiders. Viking Raiders is definitely better. It was actually one of the names that I chose. I was like, well, if they're going to change it, like, why not just be Viking Raiders? Right. But I definitely like it better than Viking Experience. I don't like that they're heels though. I don't know. I mean, I guess they look like heels.
00:17:33
Speaker
But I kind of like Babyface War Raiders. Yeah, I do too. I don't know where they would fit in with the tag team division. But now with the bar split up, I guess you need to have another big name tag team on SmackDown. So that was kind of another. We talked about the superstars shake up last week and now a bunch of more names are moving back and forth. One of them being Cesaro going to Raw and Sheamus staying on SmackDown. Is Sheamus hurt?
00:18:01
Speaker
I'm not sure. I don't think so. We didn't see him this week on TV, but I would have to look that up and see if he's injured. But it does seem that they are pushing Cesaro as a singles competitor, which I like. I think Cesaro is totally capable of being a singles guy. I thought he had a good match with Cedric Alexander. But I'm just curious as to where this leaves the bar.
00:18:28
Speaker
Like there's like no announcement. I guess the superstar shakeup is kind of the announcement, but it was never really made clear like these tag teams that kind of gotten broken up in things. And I, you would just feel like if these were, this is the problem with not being a legitimate tag team, they just break you up whenever they want without, without notice, right? It's more legitimate than the bar. I mean, multi-time champions, they've had a great run over the last three, four years.
00:18:51
Speaker
They have. I spoke too soon. That didn't sound like I wanted it to sound.
Cesaro's New Path and Tag Team Speculations
00:18:56
Speaker
But I feel like when you put people together like James and Cesaro in that tag team, no shade to their tag team accomplishments. And they did grow on me after a while with their tag team performance. But again, it is just kind of one of those things where if you didn't come up together as a tag team or come in together as a tag team, I don't think they're ever going to be seen seriously as
00:19:20
Speaker
tag team, like they just broke him up, you know, and didn't even was like, okay, cool. You know, shame is going to go back to his regular music. Is he still going to wear like, you know, Cesaro still gonna wear at the kilts and stuff? Like, I don't know.
00:19:31
Speaker
He's still using Seamus' music, which is kind of weird. But I don't know. I don't know. I'm still loving Sami Zayn on Raw. I think he's got a total rebirth here with his character is just a total smark-hating asshole, which is right on my side of my alley, because I hate smarks.
00:19:51
Speaker
He was yeah, he was amazing I thought I thought the little bit with him like showing the clips of him traveling around the world and he was telling the audience have you ever seen anything like More unadulter joy than that face right there like zoom in on that face. I just thought it was so well done and so I
00:20:10
Speaker
I mean, he's got heel-heat level Daniel Bryan. It's like you love Sami Zayn, but you also love how horrible he is to the fans right now. And that's the exact same way I felt about Daniel Bryan, just the way he's just bashing the fans.
00:20:26
Speaker
Why don't we get a Money in the Bank ladder match at the beginning of the show and the end of the show? One for Raw, one for SmackDown. It's the best part of the event. We have so many pay-per-views now that are just match after match after match of normal matches. Give us two ladder matches and then three or four matches sandwiched in the middle, and it would be a perfect card. Because I feel like they want to make this that number five pay-per-view.
00:20:53
Speaker
True, but then you would have four money in the bank matches that night. So you would have two women's division matches. Come on. I'm just saying. When can we stop with this? I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now, if they broke it up into branding, like, you know, Braun, SmackDown are going to have their own money in the bank for the men on each show.
Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles Match Analysis
00:21:15
Speaker
They would have to have one for the women because then what happens if
00:21:18
Speaker
you know like we talked about is the if the raw superstar wins can she go for the smackdown belt since the smackdown belt is on raw and vice versa like now it's kind of like the belts don't really have homes as we've seen right so you know what does that what does that mean for the money in the bank like can you go for any title or do you have to go for your brand's title
00:21:41
Speaker
Well, we talked about how much we wanted to see Seth versus AJ down the road at SummerSlam and do a nice build. But nah, fuck it. They're just going to do it right off the bat and get it over the wall. Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:54
Speaker
Yeah, I actually love it. I love that they're giving us Seth and AJ, and I can't help but think that this is some sort of response to, you know, AEW double or nothing being that week after Money in the Bank, right? Like WWE is like, we're going to roll out the best possible match we could put together in WWE right now, which is Seth and AJ.
00:22:17
Speaker
Which is Seth and AJ. We can't wait on it because we want to just put on this freakin' killer show and it's the week before Double or Nothing. So I cannot help but think that they would have let Seth and AJ marinate a little bit longer if it hadn't been for Double or Nothing. Can I just give a criticism to Raw? I hated, and I try not to say hate very often, but I hated
00:22:45
Speaker
the opening segment of Raw. First of all, it was so long. I want to say it was like 30 minutes, Phil. No joke. I'm not exaggerating. It was like 30 minutes. At the top of the show, before Triple H even came out, they announced these triple threat matches, right? The triple threat matches that were going to be for the number one contendership for the Universal title.
00:23:09
Speaker
and then Seth and Triple H come out and they're being all chummy which is kind of like awkward anyway considering like how like their blood feuds that they've had in the past like it was just kind of like awkward and I don't know it would just it just seemed too too friendly to me for some reason like I know they've kind of like made up and all of that but I just felt like it was kind of just too chummy for my liking and then you know it got worse because every single
00:23:35
Speaker
Person in the six the six guys all came out to their own entrance music and they all were like, you know I deserve a title shot because of blah blah blah I deserve a title shot because of blah blah blah and they all had to like cut jokes on each other and I was like Why are we doing this like after the second person came out? I was like, oh they're gonna do this with every Freakin person like why not just all come out, you know at the same time or why do you need your music to hit? you know, like just
00:24:02
Speaker
Wait, why did we need Triple H in the beginning? What was that? What did that have to do with anything? We didn't need Triple H in
RAW Segment Critiques and New Developments
00:24:08
Speaker
the beginning. He just like, it was so awkward because he came out and was just like, you know, congratulations. You know, you beat Brock Lesnar. Good for you, buddy. You know, and he was talking about how, um, you know, Paul Heyman hasn't even contacted him, which basically makes me believe like, Oh, well Brock Lesnar didn't give a shit about the title or whether he wanted or lost it anyway. So, you know, that kind of just gave me a bad taste in my mouth. I'm like, why doesn't,
00:24:31
Speaker
Brock give a shit that he lost, right? Like you haven't even heard from Paul Heyman that he wants a rematch or anything. They're trying to build him up as a heel that he doesn't, you know, he's just in it for the money, which, you know, basically it's just playing off of real life. But yeah, I mean, that's, that's, that's a good way to, cause when you bring him back, then he gets, he's going to get that initial pop. But I know what you're saying. It is kind of weird.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, just kind of like it kind of just degrades the title a little bit in my opinion. But yeah, other than that, I thought the triple threats were good matches. I cannot believe Baron Corbin won that triple threat match. But hey, what, what, who am I? I obviously don't know about Baron Corbin.
00:25:09
Speaker
I did love the Robert Rude and the mustache that accompanied with him. And it was a very good throwback. I'm really hoping he pulls out a mullet in a couple months and really just throws all in because he's way better as a heel.
00:25:23
Speaker
It's actually, oh yeah, just playing off what you just said. Yeah. He is way, I love me some Bobby or Robert Rude heel action. Um, but it's very uncanny. Somebody posted a photo today of Rick Rude and Robert Rude next to each other. And it was just so weird with them, with the mustaches, how much they actually kind of favor.
00:25:44
Speaker
You know, and I was like, this is kind of creepy that they look so much alike. And maybe it was just the stash and like the robe and everything. But yeah, it was very, um, very creepy, but I love it. I love the, you know, paying homage to bought our, uh, Rick Rude.
00:26:00
Speaker
Yeah, it was pretty nice. And I like that direction where they're going. They need a heel, kind of another heel on Raw. So I like that there. Anything else on Raw we wanted to touch on? How did you forget about Firefly Funhouse? Oh my god, of course. Yes, man, people hated this on the internet. Wow. And I disagree. I think I'm interested to see where it goes.
00:26:27
Speaker
me too me too at first I didn't really know what I was seeing I was in the kitchen and I was like you know making dinner and stuff and doing that you know the normal thing and all of a sudden I looked over and see and I had to ask you husband I was like is that Bray Wyatt like I could not believe my eyes like it just seems so off because
00:26:46
Speaker
One, he's got like blonde hair and he's like thinner and more lean and stuff, you know? And two, he was in this cartoonish Mr. Rogers meets Blue's Clues set. And I was just so confused, but after going back and rewatching it, I'm very, very interested. And I actually kind of loved it. I just, my concern being, I don't know how it's going to translate from that segment
00:27:13
Speaker
into the ring like what is his in ring character going to be and what is he going to do you know like I hope this isn't just more Bray Wyatt like ominous like sinister type promos and it actually translates well to in ring work.
00:27:30
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what to think.
Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse Reactions
00:27:37
Speaker
I think they can build on it. I definitely think someone is going to be both of those puppets. And if it's Eric Young and Nikki Cross that I predicted months ago, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm probably not going to do anything. I'm just going to keep watching.
00:27:54
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. I think you just need to make this super, super weird and go deeper. Make him... I don't know. They started it well, but I think you just need to make it super creepy now. Every promo, make it every week creepier and creeper. Make blood dripping out of his ears. And him pretending he doesn't even notice it's happening or something.
00:28:21
Speaker
and obviously i don't want any kids like you know just make the kids like a fake you know i don't know they could be like little like haystack children or something you know yeah yeah um well you know what really kind of like was a buzzkill um and i guess you i guess maybe they had to do it like that for people who only watch smackdown or only watch raw but they played the same promo
00:28:41
Speaker
the exact same promo on smackdown which i thought was just a little bit lazy like why not just change it a little bit you know like i i get you could still do the whole like welcome kids you know this is the firefly funhouse we're all it's all safe place for my fireflies and you know use all the taglines and stuff but they could have re-recorded something to make it different.
00:29:03
Speaker
I agree. I totally agree. There was a, I don't watch sci-fi too often, but there was like a, like an original sci-fi show that I watched. It was like a mini series of like this, you know, this kid who watched this, basically kids like Captain Kangaroo type of show when he was a kid and then grew up and, you know, I told him to kill his brother. I think it was called Channel Zero. Oh, I've heard of that. I cannot remember for the life of me what, like where I heard it or what I heard, but I know exactly what you're talking about.
00:29:32
Speaker
It's super fucking creepy, but it was very reminiscent of that. So I think it's a cool take. I like how he's not using the fake Randy voice. And he's kind of being, he looks great. Looks like he's lost a ton of weight. I'm not a fan of the target manager sweater with the collar, the shitty folded collar out on it. I know. I hope that's not his ring gear, because
00:29:58
Speaker
I cannot get down with Bray wrestling in khakis and a Mr. Rogers sweater. Like it needs to be, there needs to be something else because what's going to happen is he's going to end up like Baron Corbin where that's like his gear for like life, you know? And I think we can come up with something, come up with something better. I think I would like, let me just go back to Baron Corbin. I think I would like Baron Corbin more if he wore his old ring gear. I would be more into him and like less hating on him every week.
00:30:26
Speaker
if he didn't look like a jackass every time he hit the ring. Yeah, that Money in the Bank 2016 that we watched, he runs out in, I think it was 2016 or 17, where he runs out and jumps Nakamura. I think it was 17. But he had a cool look. Obviously, he had the going a little bald on the top there.
00:30:43
Speaker
Yeah, I mean the hair aside the hair aside like the just his lone wolf like his gear was always mage You know like he always looked great But yeah, this this new like post post managerial GM Orban I think like I said, I think I'm just so opposed to that look like he looks like he's going to a funeral all the time that I just I
00:31:04
Speaker
I don't know. I feel like it makes me hate all of his in-ring works. People are like, Baron Corbin didn't do that bad. I'm like, yes, he did. He was terrible. It's looking like he's going to the funeral of someone who works at Hot Topic. Oh, my God. That is so true. Yeah, if he just had some gauged ears, he would totally, totally fit the mold. And last last important thing on Raw, I would say, is we kind of firmed up Becky versus Lacey.
00:31:31
Speaker
So Lacey is coming for, she said she was coming for both titles, but I think she was very confused. She said, both titles are going to be around my waist. And I was like, don't you realize you're only fighting for the raw title, sweetheart. Um, but other than that botch, she did a really good job. Like I liked her promo. I thought it was good. Um, and then we got that freaking debauchery of Becky Lynch versus Alicia Fox. So we won't even talk about that, but I am excited for Becky Lynch versus
00:32:00
Speaker
Lacey, yeah, who knows? I have no idea. What if we had, not to go back to this, but what if we had Bo Dallas to this next week with Bray? How great would that be?
00:32:11
Speaker
I've heard a lot of people make that suggestion, and I'm totally not opposed to that, because what is Bo Dallas doing right now? B Team? I think Bo Dallas is a perfect candidate to join Bray in this new venture. Just totally rebrand both of them. Yeah, it seems like Bray is kind of like punishing himself for what he's done in the past, or how he's doing it. Maybe Bo can be upset that he was so cocky, or something like that, or it could work.
00:32:41
Speaker
Yeah, I could totally see that and even I think it would be cool. Like maybe they bring him in and you know, introduce him into the tag team division, you know, because we know Bray is not going to get that that main event push right from the right from the jump. So maybe introduce him and Bo as a as a tag team and then you know, see how it goes.
00:32:58
Speaker
Yep, plenty of ways to go. So Raul was pretty good.
Roman Reigns vs Elias Setup and Speculations
00:33:02
Speaker
Yeah, that Alicia Fox, that 10 minute match with, I don't know how Alicia Fox earned a title match and why, if Becky is portrayed to be such a badass, we have a 10 minute match with Alicia Fox, but that's beside the point. It was so random, so random.
00:33:19
Speaker
Over on SmackDown, it's hard to say what's going to be the Money in the Bank match, because you had all those guys come out at the beginning of the Raw, and now you have a bunch of contenders over on SmackDown. So I don't know what they're going to do here, but they have a ton of talent to play with, that's for sure.
00:33:35
Speaker
Yeah, Shane McMahon kind of got Roman Reigns to agree to fighting Elias at Money in the Bank, which I think is going to be great. I'm pumped that Elias is actually getting some spotlight and getting some shine and getting some time to show what he's capable of because I love Elias.
00:33:55
Speaker
What I'm afraid of, though, is that they're using, I read this somewhere today and I was like, oh my God, that makes so much sense, is that they're using Roman Reigns and Elias and pairing Shane with Elias to somehow make Shane and Roman happen at the Saudi Arabia show that's coming up after Money in the Bank. Oh, 100%, yeah, that's in June, I think. Because I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, I don't know, I can't remember what the date is,
00:34:25
Speaker
Yeah. I was like, Oh my God, like that is exactly what they're doing. Because I was thinking to myself, like, what did the McMans have? Like, why are they backing Elias of all people? Like, I just couldn't put the pieces together. And then after I saw someone make that connection, I was like, dude, that's exactly it. Like, I will be shocked if that is not, if that is not what happens if we don't get Shane in Roman because, you know, Shane is the best in the world, um, at Saudi Arabia.
00:34:54
Speaker
Have you seen and this is I don't want to spend too much time on this because I don't want to say anything that isn't true. But I think a fan passed away at ringside during that opening skit on Smackdown. That's that's the rumor going around that someone was taken out on a stretcher covered in a blanket. Yeah, I read that. I don't I haven't followed up to see like what exactly happened. But yeah, apparently they were doing like some sort of resuscitation before the show started. Oh, yeah. On on Smackdown. And yes.
00:35:21
Speaker
I think the person, from what I understand, the person ended up passing away. So yeah, I don't know what it was, but it was just like, you know, heart condition or stroke or what happened. But yeah, that's extremely unfortunate. And I can't imagine, one, that happening to someone you love, and two, being there and that just being like a total buzz kill. You know, like, I mean, cause like you're like, oh my gosh, here I am enjoying the show. And then this real life thing is happening next to me, you know? And it just kind of like really puts a damper on, you know,
00:35:50
Speaker
on what's going on for sure thoughts and prayers out to whoever that was in their family for sure that's that's never a good time we saw Andrade move back over to SmackDown which I do like and again face Finn Balor who he'd already beaten on Raw and now it's still not getting a title match but what do you think about him moving back to SmackDown the rumors are that that Charlotte made a big push for it and they're possibly now engaged so
00:36:16
Speaker
Well, I've heard that they're engaged.
Andrade's Return and Representation
00:36:18
Speaker
I think the real reason why that Andrade and Selena Vega are back on SmackDown is because
00:36:25
Speaker
Fox made a huge deal about it because there was no Latino talent on WWE on that side. And they want a more Latino representation on their network. And so, yeah, they demanded that Andrade and Selena Vega come back to SmackDown Live. Because apparently, from what I understand, they were supposed to get Rey Mysterio, well, then Rey went to Raw.
00:36:51
Speaker
And then Andrade and Selena went to Raw, so Fox apparently put the kibosh on that and was like, no, no, no, my friends. We're taking them back. So that's what I heard. But I don't think so. I don't think so. They wanted Andrade. I mean, who wouldn't want Andrade, you know?
00:37:10
Speaker
He's the man. Um, but yeah, I have heard that him and Charlotte are engaged. I mean, she's been like flaunting their relationship on, on social media for, you know, for like the last few weeks. So, um, it would not surprise me at all if they were, if they were engaged and it wouldn't surprise me at all. If that was a factor in them, cause they don't split up married couples, you know what I mean? I know they're not married, but they're, they're dating. So, um, I can see them keeping her there. Speaking of people that they could change the name, maybe if we make enough outrage,
00:37:39
Speaker
on social media. Maybe they'll give Andrade his name back and he can be Andrade C. and Almas because that is a main event name. Andrade is a midcard name. Andrade C. and Almas, that is a main event name.
00:37:52
Speaker
Totally agree. We saw Peyton Royce battle Kyrie Sane. And I'm starting to like the Iconics more and more every single week, man. They're very entertaining, and they bring something to the women's division that no one else really does. It's not really a comedic relief, but I guess it is. And it doesn't sound right. You think of Eugene, or you think of Santino Morella when you think of that. Yeah. They're definitely, they hold their own in the ring, but they can talk.
00:38:22
Speaker
I think I think it's good because they're kind of like those like little like sniveling heels, you know, and they have a really good chemistry together, which I think really ups their ups their credibility. I mean, if you if you follow either one of them on social media, I mean, they they post photos of each other all the time. So, I mean, you you really buy into them as friends, as a tag team, you know, you buy into their chemistry.
00:38:45
Speaker
And I think they're good. I love it. Since they've won, I've totally been in for the iconic since they've become the tag team champions.
00:38:54
Speaker
We also saw it looks like Aleister Black has moved back over to SmackDown. Maybe they want some more of like a emo Fox, I guess. Anything that happens, we'll just blame it on Fox now. It's probably WWE is like really winning with this one. Like they can just blame Fox. Totally. Looks like he's going to be a heel now. There's kind of an inklings of a heel turn with that promo he gave.
00:39:17
Speaker
Yeah, they're like, we need more tattoos, damn it. Bring Oster Black over. Yeah, it was really weird. I liked the promo. I didn't hate the promo, kind of talking about like, you guys know me, but you don't know what I am, which I don't even really know what that means. It's kind of like ominous and like, you know, I'm not sure what he's talking about, but I hope
00:39:37
Speaker
That they don't I hope they don't like rely on that I hope that doesn't become a crutch for debbie debbie just to put him in this like black space and have him like his head fade up into the shot and you know give this ominous promo. Because I feel like that can get old really quickly and he could really fall victim to that Bray Wyatt.
00:39:56
Speaker
you know, situation because Alistair Black can cut a promo. He's really good. But I don't want them to just like throw him in that role and like, like, oh, we're going to put him up on the screen and have him cut a promo. Like, no, let the man wrestle because he's a freaking badass.
00:40:10
Speaker
Last but not least, the big O is no mo. We had a split up for the new day. And as he does to all of his friends, Kevin Owens has turned his back on the new day.
Kevin Owens' Heel Turn and New Day Betrayal
00:40:23
Speaker
He's a heel again and immediately the probably number one contender. And I love this movie. I like him much better as a heel, even though he's pretty funny as a face. And we don't get that one. He's a heel. He's more serious.
00:40:35
Speaker
But yeah, I think this is a great move for him. I think he immediately becomes a normal contender, especially since we haven't seen Daniel Bryan since WrestleMania. Yeah, I definitely I mean, I totally know that's where they're going with this. I wish they would have let it marinate just a little bit longer, though. I feel like it was a little bit quick. I mean, we just started getting bigger. Like we got it last week. He was being, you know, kind of inducted into the new day. And then this week he was fully ingrained into them. You know, he was he was part of the crew.
00:41:04
Speaker
And then I think like another week or another two weeks would have been really really good and we would have been invested in it a little bit more like I wasn't totally invested in Big O just yet. I think they kind of jumped the gun a little bit in doing it. I think because we're still what three and a half weeks out from money in the bank. So they could have like done it next week and I feel like it would have given us a little
00:41:28
Speaker
better build, you know what I mean? Like it would have not been drug out so long. If they're really going to have Keio face Kofi at Money in the Bank, I feel like it would have been better to have like, you know, a shorter feud and not just like drag it on and on and on.
00:41:42
Speaker
Because WWE has a tendency to mess those things up when they're given too much time. True, yeah, it's May 19th, so that would make more sense. But I'm sure now we're gonna see KO beat up on Elijah Woods next week or something like that. Totally. I would like to see when Big E comes back, see a little KO Big E for you, that would be pretty fun.
00:42:05
Speaker
That would be a lot of fun. I could, I could totally see that. Um, and I would love that. I miss Biggie already. I don't know. I mean, I just feel like the new day is just missing him. He's just, he's like such a keystone in, in the new day. I feel like, um, you know, Xavier is great. Kofi's obviously amazing, but I feel like Biggie is just kind of like that personality factor, you know?
00:42:28
Speaker
And I'm really, really missing him. But we cannot talk about SmackDown and not talk about this fresh new matchup that they created for us for Money in the Bank. Do you know who's fighting for the SmackDown Women's Championship? Oh, God, I hope it's Becky and Charlotte, man. I need to see those two in the ring.
00:42:50
Speaker
God, you're in luck because that is exactly who it is. I'm so pumped for this. I cannot wait to see these two go head to head. It's something I've been waiting for for years. For days. For days. For days. Yeah. I don't want to totally shit on it because I'm obviously, Becky and Charlotte is going to be amazing. They're two amazing women.
00:43:16
Speaker
But give it some breathing room, people, for the love of God. And they're so self-aware because Bailey came out. And I actually kind of like Bailey standing up for herself. This is the first time I've really bought into Bailey being like, you know how many times you beat me, Becky? Zero. And I was like, oh, OK, Bailey. OK. She doesn't say it like that. She says,
00:43:37
Speaker
You know how many times you beat me, baby? Oh my gosh. She has no inflection in her voice at all. It pisses me off that she's going through the emotions or something. Or she just doesn't sound like her promos are just like, come on, give me some balls to it, man. Yeah, she does lack that guttural emotion. But I did like her just standing up to Becky, which I thought was different for Bailey because she's normally like,
00:44:05
Speaker
kind of like that shy like you know taking up for her best friend type and she doesn't really stand on her own two feet but I thought it would like I said it was so self-aware because they were like what about Ember Moon what about Bailey like they were giving all these amazing potential matchups for Charlotte or sorry for Becky but then they're like no no no we're just gonna give you Charlotte again and I like the segment I thought the segment was good I thought you know Becky being like
00:44:36
Speaker
Charlotte's argument was that Becky didn't pin her at WrestleMania, right? So she shouldn't have won her title and then Becky being like, well, don't you know how the rules of the triple threat match were set up? Were you not aware of that? And I thought all that was great, but I would have loved to see Bayley go over Charlotte and then maybe set Charlotte up with Ember Moon.
00:44:59
Speaker
right? Give us a different cool feud with those two. That would be freaking money, you know? It's a good call. Unless they're going to pull the, they're going to do something wonky to Becky and pull the belt off her because obviously I think she's going to stay on raw. So they'll keep, maybe they keep that belt on her longer. Um, they've already made the money off the Becky two belts t-shirts. So maybe give it back to Charlotte so that she doesn't have to pull double duty.
00:45:25
Speaker
I don't know, that's my only thought, is they love Charlotte so much that they want to have the background. I know, but Charlotte, I mean, what's to make a difference in her being an eight-time champ and a nine-time champ? Give somebody a chance to be a first-time SmackDown Women's Champion, you know? I agree. I think that just gets the fans so much more invested. And I think, think about all the, I mean, just from a business standpoint, if you give somebody else, like Bailey the title or Ember Moon the title,
00:45:54
Speaker
What kind of like that's like merch sales, you know, I mean, that's more t-shirts that you can sell. I mean, nobody's I mean, everybody's got all the Charlotte Flair merch that they can handle. Right. Like she's been champ so many times and there's so many things like get these other ladies some some recognition, you know.
00:46:08
Speaker
And nobody's buying that Charlotte elite figure. That thing's been warming the pigs. For sure, for sure. All right, so that's it on Raw and SmackDown. Some definitely some ups and downs there. I did want to get into, and you have it here on the script, looks like Cody Rhodes and his brother Dustin Rhodes, formerly known as Goldust, are going to be fighting at Double or Nothing, the AEW pay-per-view.
AEW's Double or Nothing Excitement
00:46:32
Speaker
And I don't know what to think of this. Obviously, it's something that I wanted to see at WrestleMania back in the day when these two split up, Stardust and Goldust back in the day. But we never saw it. Are you excited about this match? What? Yeah, I am. Yeah, I'm for sure. I mean, we're definitely getting double or nothing. I'm super pumped for it. I think it'll be a great match. I can honestly say like,
00:46:56
Speaker
Goldust and hit like right before he left, you know or got injured. I guess he's still considered Is he still on the roster? I guess he's not right or is he just showing up for this one of you? No, I think yeah They he was let go or he put his resignation in but they look they kept it quiet Remember there was like rumors like a couple weeks ago right before WrestleMania that he was gone, but he kind of shot. Oh, yeah
00:47:17
Speaker
Um, so yeah, but I think, um, he was doing some of his best work at the end of his run in WWE. I thought he was amazing. Um, even like the golden truth stuff. I was really, really into that. I thought it was awesome. Um, and he's still like for as old as he is and as, I mean, I don't know how old he is. I don't want to call him old, but old for a wrestler. Um, for as many years as he's been in the business, he can still go. So I'm excited to see him and Cody go head to head. I mean, we haven't seen it like what fast lane 2015 was when him and, uh,
00:47:47
Speaker
Cody Rhodes went went head to head and that was like the whole remember dusty Rhodes was involved and he was trying to like mediate between the two boys and Yeah, and you know Cody had the really unfortunate promo where he said, you know, my father's dead and I was like, you know
00:48:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So that was, that was awful. But hopefully this one will have a much more feel good, feel good type ending. And I kind of dig Goldust's new paint job, you know, the red and black. He's like a Wolfpack Goldust. Yeah. Like Dustin Ballard. Yeah. Dustin Ballard. Yeah. So I'm excited. I'm excited for it.
00:48:27
Speaker
All right, any other news from around the wrestling world before we get into it? It looks like Undertaker and Kurt Angle were pulled out of Starcast. So I don't know if that was- Really? Vince McMahon doing or what? I know Undertaker did just sign a new deal with WWE. So maybe that has something to do with it. But- Mm, they rolled up the Brinks truck. We're like, don't do it. Yeah, let's get into our go figure segment. Here comes the money. Here we go, money talk.
00:49:02
Speaker
Oh yes, spending that cash, baby, spending that cash. This is part of the show where Sheena and I go over our weekly purchases, whether they be a wrestling figure, memorabilia, or potpourri.
Wrestling Apparel and Collectibles
00:49:17
Speaker
And before we get into any figures that you bought, you posted on Instagram, I think it was pretty recently, some pretty dope shirts from a company that I was never aware of. Who was that from?
00:49:30
Speaker
the, which shirts were you talking about? That's not a good answer. If you buy that many shirts that you don't know. No, I literally have like, like, if you go back in the Chick-Fully Instagram, there's like 30 like shirts within like the last 10 posts.
00:49:47
Speaker
It's a collar and elbow. You posted on the IG store. Oh, today. Yeah, today. OK. I was like, are you talking about the struggles shirts or the, you know. Anyway, sorry. Yeah, collar and elbow. They reached out. And I had seen them.

I did follow your friend that models for them, and I'm a fan of hers for different reasons. Yes, she's pretty awesome, right? She's a pretty attractive young lady. But yeah, the shirts that you bought here, I love the thank you for wrestling with this shirt.

For sure. Madison, if you're listening, hook up the feelster. Yep. Love you, Madison. I don't know you, but don't tell my wife this. What else did you buy this week?
00:51:47
Speaker
So it was a super I haven't even gotten this in the mail yet, but a super light week over here I got in a basic 95 Sonya Deville where she's in like her red gear Just to kind of round out round out the the female ICW division here at the at the Phelps house I did happen to come across like you're not gonna believe this NXT series 4 here on island everything except for Ruby riot I was like I came around the corner just expecting to see the same old shit and
00:52:14
Speaker
And lo and behold, sitting there, not even on the pegs, just sitting in a stack was Killian, Aleister, and Drew. And it was like one of those moments like you see in a cartoon where you look, and then you rub your eyes. Yeah, and then you look again. And I was like, holy shit, we got NXT Series 4 here, finally. So I hit up our buddy shampoo model to see if he needed any of them. And he wanted Aleister, so I got Aleister for him, and then I hit up.
00:52:42
Speaker
the peeps on patreon to see if any of them needed it and they didn't so hopefully um yes some people in um you know nobody needed the figures but hopefully some collectors out there grabbed them while they were available uh here in oahu
00:52:55
Speaker
Yeah, it's a pretty similar situation. I don't want to rush through anything else that you have, but I found today at one of my targets for the first time in quite a while, some NXT Elite Series 4s, and I got one of our Patreon members, Cody Baker. That's bake underscore 05. I got him the Ruby Rye and the Killian Dane and sent them out. I'm going to send them out tomorrow.
00:53:18
Speaker
Yeah, so I didn't need any of them. I was looking for the Alexander Wolf. They did not have it there, but I was glad to help out a Patreon member. We try to do that as much as we can. I know you have all those, but is that the first time you've seen them over there? I don't know if you've mentioned that already. Yeah, no. That is the very first time I've seen them in store anywhere. So yeah, we have the full collection, but we got them through various
00:53:41
Speaker
various avenues. But yeah, that's the first time I'd seen them in store. And like I said, somebody had already came around and copped Ruby. If you see Drew, I know a couple of folks on the Twitter that need it. So let me know. OK, cool. You don't have to rush back there. Well, I mean, I frequent Target. If you follow me at all on my Sheena Phelps account, I'm at Target several times a week. So I will definitely swing back by and look and see if Drew's still there.
00:54:06
Speaker
I made a, do you have any more pickups? I'm sorry, I cut you off. No, that was it. Yeah, just I picked up that action figure for a shampoo model and I got the Sonya Deville basic 95. What's going to be your cutoff day for purchases? Because you're headed to an odd time here where you're going to be shifting around and moving and all that kind of stuff. Are you going to decide like May 1st, I'm not buying anything else or? Oh no, we have a built-in permanent address in Kentucky where things can get shipped to.
00:54:36
Speaker
to the, to the in-laws house. So, um, yeah, they, they always, anytime we've ever had any situations like that, even, um, back in the day when we used to order from Toys R Us, you guys remember Toys R Us, right? Um, when we used to order from Toys R Us, they charged an arm and a freaking leg to ship to Hawaii. So we would always just get the figures shipped to, um, you know, Seth's parents house. And then they would either like ship them loose, like in a bubble envelope. So it was a lot cheaper or, um, you know, we would just wait till we saw them or they were coming out here and they would just fly all the figures out for us.
00:55:06
Speaker
oh nice cool so you yeah do you have a date where you're gonna stop like sending stuff to hawaii and you know yeah it's coming up like it's it's pretty close because the movers will get here on the um on the eighth um and we will be living in a hotel on the 10th we don't have to turn over the keys and everything until the 16th but the way shipping is uh in hawaii it's so unpredictable whether it could take you know
00:55:27
Speaker
Four days, it could take two weeks. Yeah, the shipping cutoff date is coming probably like middle of actually beginning of next week would be like the probably the latest I would order anything.
00:55:39
Speaker
Very nice. Cool. So I didn't do too much buying. I mean, this is probably the lightest week we've ever had for the two of us here. And we're a wrestling figure podcast. So you're not going to be a good wrestling figure podcast if you don't buy anything. I mean, just imagine listening to that. I did make a trade ski with just someone randomly from a Facebook group that needed the New Day retros that my buddy Kevin from the Baltimore Lead Squad had, from Roses.
00:56:08
Speaker
I think five or six bucks. So he was about to return them because I told him initially I didn't need them. But somebody posted in this group that they were going to trade a loose Roman Reigns and a loose KO, both from retro series one, for their kid that wanted these new day retro. They couldn't find them wherever they live. I think it was Ohio or something.
00:56:26
Speaker
I sent those out to him. He sent them to me. And I don't even need that Roman Reigns loose, but it goes for like 50, 60 bucks. So it's a pretty good trade-off for me. I think the Kevin Owens goes for 20 or 30, because obviously, those series ones, they're not going to come back out with ever again.
00:56:45
Speaker
And a lot of people, when those first ones came out, they weren't really into the retros. So they just kind of went away pretty quickly. So that was it for me. But I do want to give props to our awesome Patreon subscriber, Marco Denton, who was on our show with us recapping WrestleMania. He reached out to me right before we started the show.
00:57:07
Speaker
and found Alexander Wolf at Target, one for me, one for Sheena, and he is going to ship those out to us. And man, this dude is MVP of the Chick Foley show. He's always hooking us up. I try to hook him up whenever I can if he needs something.
00:58:03
Speaker
Yeah, none of them really seem too helpful right now, even though we see that some of these stores are getting some shipment in. So thank you, Marco. I appreciate it. And next thing that you need, I will hook you up. And the good thing is here, when I do find an Alexander Wolf, because I'm still hunting, it'll go to one of our awesome Patreon subscribers.
00:58:22
Speaker
for sure yeah so we that that officially completes the uh the sanity set you know which is super cool you know one of the the coolest factions that i can say for action figures i mean they're one of the coolest factions like within nxt obviously they didn't do much on the main roster but um you know i was talking about hill husband this morning about like what faction we would like to see them make or redo and i said i would love to see
00:58:46
Speaker
Um, a brood, you know, like I just, I think about like these factions and how like they would look in action figure form. And obviously we have our mad Reaper customs.
00:58:56
Speaker
a gang grill, but I would love to have a Mattel gang grill and then like early, um, brewed edging Christian. Like how freaking dope would that be? Oh, it'd be so, the only thing I don't like is Mattel makes, uh, edge look like Michael Jackson whenever they make him. So that would scare me a little bit, but yeah, those would be awesome. And I'd love to see some like red, red blood splatter on gang grill. Like the kind of like the, I'm sure the customer that you have has that. I'm pretty, Oh yeah, it does. Yeah.
00:59:22
Speaker
That would be awesome. That would be a good topic for another episode, which kind of faction or stable you'd want to see redone by Mattel. Because they've done quite a bit. They've done quite a few of them. But that would be cool. And yeah, now I feel like I'm going to be pressured internally to get all the sanity figures now. Because Killian Danes hanging around. Nikki Cross is starting to show up. And Eric Young, they're all kind of out in the wilderness now.
00:59:47
Speaker
Yeah, that's, I mean, it's just so like, they're, they just look so amazing. Like all of the sanity figures, they just freaking nailed them. So, um, yeah, those will definitely look amazing all grouped together in the Mark cave, um, in one little cell. So I'm excited to set those figures up together. Did you see the new pops that are coming out? The Funko release, the new WWE pop line that's coming out. I do. The only one I remember is the Bret Hart. That's the one I really, really want.
01:00:12
Speaker
Yeah, well, it's finally Bret Hart with pink glasses. Like, you know, we've had a Bret Hart pop forever, but he had black glasses, which whatever, like not a huge deal, but come on, like he's got to be iconic with his, you know, pink shades,
Anticipation for WWE Funko Pops and Nostalgia
01:00:28
Speaker
right? So I'm super pumped about the Bret Hart. We're getting like a ministry style undertaker, um, which actually looks really, really cool.
01:00:37
Speaker
We're getting Becky Lynch, which is super awesome, Elias, and then Trish. So yeah, super pumped. Man, these pops, man, they must have, whoever bought stock in this company. My God. They have such a simple idea. I mean, there's nothing crazy intricate about the pops. No, and they're not even.
01:01:02
Speaker
Yeah, they're not even that well made, you know? Yeah, but I mean, God, I mean, you go online, some of them now, the older ones are, you know, they're super valuable, you know, just because they don't come back out with them for, you know, a long time. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. They're like the Disney. Yeah. Yeah, they're like the Disney movies. They put them in the vault and then they don't, you know, once a pop is vaulted, like that's when the value like skyrockets, you know what I mean? There's like some pops that are like a dime a dozen, you know, you can find them everywhere.
01:01:29
Speaker
Some of those, like, you know, Freddy Funko pops and things like that, those exclusives, I mean, those go for big, big, big money. Obviously, we don't collect them in the box, but I see so many people, like, literally, their houses are, like, lined, like, wallpapered with Funko boxes, you know? And it just, it's so funny for me to see that, you know? Just, like, it looks like their house is, like, a store.
01:01:52
Speaker
I know, yeah. It's definitely, I'm glad I never went down that rabbit hole because it's probably hard to get out of, but I have a, I've over like, I don't know, I haven't bought one in a couple of years, but I have an Ultimate Warrior, I have an early Macho Man, and I have a Hogan that are still in the box. I'm thinking about getting the Brett and just kind of having like all of my, you know, legendary Mount Rushmore type of wrestlers get a Stone Cold and a Cena and complete the whole set.
01:02:18
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited about that. A lot of people are posting about five below. They have these little $5 figurines in one of those little mystery bags where you don't know what they are. I forget. The guys on the Doing the Favor podcast talked about it. And I think even Zach Ryder tweeted out that he bought a whole box of them over the weekend for $5 a piece. Oh, really? Yeah, they're pretty cool. They come in their own little bubble plastic protective case. And they're
01:02:45
Speaker
There's like eight or nine different ones. There's Andre the Giant, Macho Man, and Jake the Snake Roberts. So again, something I can see myself getting into buying way too many. So I'm not going to do any of them. But if you want to check them out, just go to five below. They have them all there. And some current wrestlers, some former wrestlers, they're pretty intricate. They're the size of a mini pop Funko. But the design on them is pretty nice. They're not cheesy.
01:03:14
Speaker
Cool, cool. Anything else go figure? There wasn't too much news coming out. No. No. No, that was about it. Just that Elite 66 chase, because those Elite 66 are starting to hit the stores. I'm wondering when I'm going to get my Mabel. I've never preordered anything from Ringside before, and I ordered that one now. I think that's Elite 68. I don't know. Have you got any sort of shipping or any sort of update or notification at all?
01:03:43
Speaker
No, no. I don't know if that's a bad thing. Maybe I should look into that. Maybe no news is good news, you know? But also, I go by the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So maybe by calling them or emailing them, maybe they'll bump you up to first in line, you know? There you go. Hey, I know Sheena Phelps. Come on, help me out. Check out her account. I know she's bought quite a bit from you over the years. You ain't kidding.
01:04:09
Speaker
anything else on that list I guess I think that's it yeah I think we got some random merch to get into I have some affordable random merch for you guys this week yeah and I like to bring you guys something that I could you could actually purchase and then tag us when you actually purchase it so
01:04:26
Speaker
Bonesaw gear is still available if you're keeping track. But for those of you who want some new wrestling merch, these are two sets of TOPS WWF Pro Wrestling Stars. They're cards, so they're sealed up. They're from 1985, you guys. So they've been-
01:04:43
Speaker
Sealed for a long time. They're waiting to take some breath And guys like these like they look like they're in like pretty freakin amazing condition like the packaging on these is so mage It's like got whole Kogan with his you know, the white sweatband and the WWF logo He's holding the world title like it is just so awesome and they are
01:05:04
Speaker
Their starting bid is at $9.99 with $4.81 shipping, which I don't know why it would cost $4 to ship those things. I mean, you could literally put those things in a stamp envelope. Or you can buy it now for $17 and $4.81 shipping. So definitely check that out. We'll post it. We'll post it on the Instagrams for you guys to see. But yeah, they look pretty freaking mage. And it says, they're still sealed, open if you dare, contains nine picture cards.
01:05:33
Speaker
one sticker and one stick of bubblegum. Oh, I was going to say, if that thing has a stick of bubblegum in it, it's not edible. Do not eat bubblegum. Do not. It's toxic by now. Just break your teeth in half, yeah. For sure. That's the thing a lot of the folks that we follow on the Chick Foley Twitter account, a lot of folks are into the cards, the new tops cards and the autographs and all that kind of stuff.
01:05:56
Speaker
They look really cool, don't get me wrong, but another thing, man, I'm so into fakes at this point. I just don't know if my marriage could take collecting rare tops, wrestler cards. I don't know where I would put them, but to each their own, man, there's some pretty cool ones out there. And this is a pretty good deal for something from when I was three years old, 1985, damn, 10 bucks. I know. That was the year I was born. Oh, OK. My sister, too.
01:06:25
Speaker
I feel like maybe I should get them just for commemoration. Yeah. For sure. Cool. Let's get to our retro wrestling recommendation of the week. I don't have one this week because I want to piggyback on yours and kind of dive into it, even though we've already talked about this event quite a bit because it's one of Dean's biggest moments.
Revisiting Dean Ambrose's Championship Moments
01:06:45
Speaker
Yeah. It was from Money in the Bank 2016. The match was Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns.
01:06:53
Speaker
Dean had won money in the bank earlier in the night and it was freaking ses first match back after injury. He literally just beat Roman clean, which I was so unexpected. Like I could not believe he just went over Roman clean and then.
01:07:09
Speaker
I'm celebrating my ass off because, you know, Seth just became world champ. And then all of a sudden Dean comes up from behind crashes him in the head with the, with the briefcase and cashes in his money in the bank to become the world champion for the first time, which was such a feel good moment. I hate that it had to come against my man Seth Rollins, but like we talked about earlier in the episode, it was just so awesome to like see the, I mean, the Dean was so,
01:07:37
Speaker
over. It was insane. And the pop when he won and cashed in was so insane. Like that's what you hope for, for a money in the bank cash in, you know, like you hope that the audience just is either like, Oh no, like no, no, no, no, no. Or they're just like standing on their feet waiting for this baby face to win, win the title. Um, and it was so awesome and it was so cool because literally all of the shield members held the world title like within a span of five minutes.
01:08:07
Speaker
Yeah, that is pretty cool. In the timeline here, when did, this was in June of 2016, did Seth win the title, was it the WrestleMania of that year or the previous year of 2015? Because I'm trying to figure out, when did Roman win it from Seth?
01:08:23
Speaker
The previous year, he didn't. Remember, Seth had to relinquish the title because he came back. Oh, that's right. And then he came back in. OK. Yeah. Yeah, he came back. But yeah, Seth had to relinquish the title because he did that Sunset Flip on Kane and tore his ACL. So that was the whole thing. He won the title that he had never lost. So that's why it was so awesome for him to win the title back. But Dean obviously won the Money in the Bank that night, which, like I said,
01:08:51
Speaker
So happy and so pissed off all at the same time. I was in a glass case of emotion.
01:08:57
Speaker
Yeah, it was kind of, I mean, it was cool when he came out. The crowd definitely pops hard. I'm watching it right now on mute. But, you know, won Dirty Deeds and wins the title. There's some good matches on this card, too. There was a really good, the first, I think this was the first Cena AJ Styles match was really good. It was kind of a shitty finish, but it was a cool kind of first time those two got in the ring together. And then, of course, we saw Dean.
01:09:21
Speaker
It was Jericho, Owen, Zane, Cesaro, Ambrose, and Del Rio. One of these things is not like the other, but a pretty good ladder match there. And there was a couple stinkers. We had, I think we had Apollo Crews against- Speaking of the golden truth, we had the golden truth versus Brezongo. Was it really? Yeah. Must have been on the pre-show. I don't see it on the thing here.
01:09:47
Speaker
Yeah, it was on the pre-show. During the pre-show, Golden Truth, they beat Brezongo. It was good. I mean, what do you expect from a Golden Truth Brezongo match?
01:09:58
Speaker
We had a Titus O'Neill match and an Apollo Crews match on a pay-per-view. That's not happening in 2019. But overall, it's a pretty good show. Definitely go back and check it out. And it's worth it for that cash-in at the end. And it was cool because it was from Vegas. I would have thought they would have done a little more of a Vegas-y type of stuff because they don't tend to go to Vegas too often. Yep, super cool. Definitely pull it up on your network. And if you really want to go down a Dean rabbit hole, 2016 is definitely the year if you're looking for
01:10:27
Speaker
solo, solo Dean stuff. All right. Let's get to our listener mail. We got a couple of good ones that I'm excited about this.
Hypothetical Wrestling Personas Discussion
01:10:34
Speaker
Yeah. So we have our first listener mail coming in from our homie, the MVP, Marco Denton. He says, hello. First, you both rock and are the greatest podcast team in all of space and time. Marco, you're the best. Second,
01:10:48
Speaker
We're all huge fans of wrestling, obviously, and we've all imagined what it would be like if we were wrestlers ourselves at one point in time. So this is a fun question for both of you. If you were to become wrestlers, what would your name, gimmick, entrance, and finishing move be? You can be tagged up or singles competitors. So I will let you go first on this one, Phil, and I'm interested to hear. I haven't heard your take on this, so I'm interested.
01:11:13
Speaker
Okay, so entrance music I'm going to use. I don't know the name of the song, but if you just Google the A-Team movie, there's a song by Rage Against the Machine that was really good. I'll play it in the background right now. It's a good like, no words, just kind of like rock song.
01:11:31
Speaker
I think I would use my real name. I always liked the franchise as kind of like a nickname that Shane Douglas used for a while. I always thought that would be cool. My finisher, I'm going to go boring. I want to go with the slam suplex type jackknife maneuver that Goldberg used for a while. Awesome.
01:11:49
Speaker
Well, was that all the criteria? Yeah. Or was there one more? Okay, cool. What was your finishing move, your entrance, and then, yeah, your gimmick? Yeah, I think I would just use my, I mean, I've talked about this with some of my buddies from the Baltimore Lead Squad. I remember as a kid, and I say kid, I was probably like in high school a little bit too, where I
01:12:06
Speaker
I had like a notebook where I wrote down, and I don't know if anyone listening to this is super dorky, but I had like my own fake like wrestling Federation and I had like all my favorite wrestlers from WWE and WCW and ECW and one thing and every month I would make like a, you know, if it was SummerSlam, I'd make like a fake SummerSlam and like have matches and pick winners and stuff like that.
01:12:27
Speaker
and I did this for years and then I got to college and I had like a random book bag in my car and I had just met a bunch of new friends in college. We were going to like a football tailgate or something and I had it in like the back of my like SUV and I just like panicked and just threw it in a dumpster and I was like.
01:12:46
Speaker
Oh, my god. I didn't want them to see it. Yeah. And now I'm like, oh, my god. I just regret it. Growing up now, we're like, nerd is the new cool. These kids are so lucky. Because yeah, when we were growing up, nerd was nerd. And you didn't want to be a nerd. Exactly. You hid your inner nerd to just try to be cool. It was all about fitting in and being cool. And yeah, if anybody would have found that notebook, you would have been heckled relentlessly. Exactly.
01:13:14
Speaker
Yeah, I would still be getting texts about it right now from all my- Yeah, you and he'll have-
01:13:18
Speaker
Yeah, you and Heal Husband would have been really good friends because growing up, I don't know if he did it in middle and high school, but I know growing up, maybe in middle school, his action figures, he would have set up pay-per-views and had notebooks of matches that he had put together and winners and all of these things. He's still very meticulous to this day about spreadsheets and organization and all of those things, but he has one for his 2K universe, if you guys follow along.
01:13:47
Speaker
With that like people love his his 2k universe. So I mean he keeps everything in a freaking spreadsheet. So Yeah, so yeah, so he went from notebooks to two spreadsheets, but yeah, he would have really appreciated appreciated that but as far as like my gimmick Considering Daniel Bryan already stole my perfect gimmick. That's that's exactly who I would have been like I would have totally like been in on that like environmentally friendly
01:14:17
Speaker
I don't know if I would have been a heel or a face. I don't know how I would have presented it. You know, if I would have been kind of like that Bo Dallas, like, you know, everyone save the world. Or if I would have been like, you know, more of a heel like Daniel Bryan. But I think just going with like the Chick Foley gimmick, like being, you know, hybrid Bret Hart, Mick Foley type.
01:14:35
Speaker
gimmick where I'm like a technical expert in the ring but like when it comes down to it like if I have to I'm just gonna freaking brawl and put my body on the line and just like put on a freaking show you know and my finisher would be
01:14:53
Speaker
The super chick. So it'd be like a super kick like to the back of the head, you know, so it'd be like a super kick, but it would be called the super chick. And then my entrance music would definitely be something like For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica. Oh, nice. I love that. Yeah, you know, just kind of like just rocking it out. I think that would be such a major entrance song, even though we talked about in our in our entrance theme podcast that I prefer songs to be made specifically for
01:15:22
Speaker
for specific wrestlers than just picking already pre-made songs. But if I just had to pick a pre-made song, that would be it. Very cool. Thank you, Mark. That was a great question, man. I like that quite a bit. It was
My Damn Toys Promotion and Money in the Bank Speculations
01:15:36
Speaker
fun. We also have one coming in from a friend of Chick Foley.
01:15:40
Speaker
my damn toys you can find him on instagram and youtube just search at my damn toys um he's amazing we told you guys about him before he has like the most mage picfeds they don't even know if you can call it picfeds it's basically like animation um so go check him out but
01:15:55
Speaker
He says, what is good, Sheena and Phil? I hope you two had a blessed Easter weekend. My question this week is going to regard Money in the Bank. Outside of the Royal Rumble, the Money in the Bank is my favorite thing about professional wrestling. I love the concept of it. The whole idea behind it creatively is genius. I still remember being eight or nine years old when the first one happened. But with all that said, over the last couple of years, it's been ruined, dammit. He didn't say dammit, but I did.
01:16:23
Speaker
In 2017, my least favorite wrestler on the planet, Trash Corbin, won the case and ruined all of my investment into it. And then in 2018, Jan Strowman won it and wasted the surprise on Lesnar. So with this year, I'm hoping WWE does something creative with it. Outside of Elias, who would you guys like to see win the briefcase this year? Excuse me, I know you guys mentioned you would like to see him win it in a former episode, so I was hoping to hear a different take.
01:16:52
Speaker
My personal pick this year would be Kevin Owens. I think his smart ass heel gimmick would fit beautifully. Thank you guys for all that you do and I hope you have a blessed week, Trey. Thank you, Trey. This is a really good question and I'm sure we'll see it shape up more. I'll be excited to see who all is in the Money in the Bank match and then be able to like pick, you know, somebody that could actually win. But who, who do you think is even in the mix for this thing, Phil? Like as far as like being in the, in the Money in the Bank?
01:17:20
Speaker
You got to think, Ms. McIntyre, I've got to think. Andrade? I'm going to throw Mysterio in there if they want a high flyer. Maybe Ricochet, if they want to have someone, if Rey's not in it, maybe have a high flyer like him. Oh, yeah. Because Kofi's not in it, obviously. So maybe either Rey Mysterio or Ricochet. I'd love to see Cesaro in it. He can pull out some big time moves.
01:17:42
Speaker
I think would be a good place to have Miz win and kind of at the same time turn heel like maybe do something to you know screw someone over on the ladder or something and just kind of go back to a heel even though there's a there's kind of a good amount of heels on on Raw already with Samoa Joe and McIntyre I think
01:18:00
Speaker
I'd like him as a sniveling kind of, you never know, kind of a thorn in Seth Rollins' side during his whole time as champion and you don't never know when Miz is gonna cash in. He goes down to cash in, but he sees Seth getting back to his feet and he chickens out or something like that. It'd be pretty cool. Yeah, I could see that. Again, I'm with Trey. I would love to see Kevin Owens. I think Kevin Owens with the briefcase would be just awesome. Like we said before,
01:18:30
Speaker
I would love to see Elias with a Money in the Bank guitar case. Like, how cool would that be, right? If they did like a, instead of a briefcase for Elias, they had like a, you know, they could even do a smaller.
01:18:42
Speaker
guitar case, like an ukulele case or something, you know? But I think Andrade would be good because he has Selena Vega there to like cut all the promos and to do all the talking, you know, and he's just there like looking like a total badass holding the case. But I can totally see Drew McIntyre being in the shuffle too.
01:19:04
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I could see Sami Zayn if they really want to push him as kind of a new heel, just make him the guy and just... Oh, yeah. There's a bunch of good options this year, so it'll be cool. I don't want to see guys like Drew McIntyre, and I want to see more of a quicker pace match, you know, some of these smaller guys like Miz, Cesaro, Ricochet. You know, that's one of the money to make flatter matches at its best, you know?
01:19:29
Speaker
Yeah, what about Bobby Roode? I think Bobby Roode could be a good winner for the Money in the Bank briefcase. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's definitely an opportunity to make, like, they give it to Braun last year who's already kind of over, you know, give it to someone who, you know, that's what they were trying to do with Corbin, and I kind of get it. And it has made him, I mean, he's been pretty prominent as much as people don't like him. That's kind of his gimmick, because people don't like him, and he doesn't really care.
01:19:55
Speaker
But, you know, use this as an opportunity to make another person and add somebody else's main event picture. For sure, for sure. Because, I mean, who you have competing against, who's like really, with Daniel Bryan out of the picture for the time being, who you're thinking besides KO is a contender for Kofi's title over there. I mean, I guess you can always throw Randy Orton in there. Buddy Murphy? Yeah, yeah. That would be a good match, damn. Yeah, Buddy Murphy would be good.
01:20:25
Speaker
I mean, you got Roman over there, obviously. Samoa Joe, I mean, he is the United States champion right now, but I could totally see him getting a main event push. I do like what they're doing with Roman is kind of easing him in and not forcing him down people's throats. I mean, they could easily have put him into the title picture right away. And, you know, that would be a good spot. And I don't want to get into money in the bank too much, but it'd be a great spot to elevate Elias a little bit and give him some shine.
01:20:53
Speaker
I think so too. If he wasn't going to be in this field with Roman, I can totally see him being in the Money in the Bank match. I think he would be awesome.
01:21:02
Speaker
Cool, great questions. Again, if you guys have any questions that you want us to read on the show, hit us up askchickfoli at gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter
