James Eve. Get
0:48
your chest hands on my team's screen.
0:53
He's had another mark to stop stop
0:56
saying four
1:04
books sake. I love you, tag. It's lot of
1:06
fucking room. Steams.
1:10
Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the
1:12
Jim Cornette experience where today will
1:14
cover the week in wrestling much like a
1:16
cat covering up a turd in its litter
1:18
box. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's a
1:20
show full. Of apropos analogies
1:23
to anal explosions, and
1:25
joining me. Hawaiian Brian, the
1:27
podcasting line, the king of the Arcadia and
1:29
Vanguard podcast network mister
1:31
cohost to you, if I'm number
1:33
one, then he has to be number two.
1:36
The great Brian last everybody.
1:38
Oh, hi, Jim. A pleasure to be here once
1:40
again. Number two to number one.
1:42
Here on the number
1:44
one. And of course, number two would be the
1:46
drive thru. But
1:48
we've got both We're filled of one and two.
1:50
Yeah.
1:50
We're filled of one and 211
1:53
of us is number one and one of us is
1:55
number two. And sometime it rotates back
1:58
and forth. Oh,
2:00
my god. You know, I
2:03
have come to the conclusion, young brine
2:05
before we start today's program, that
2:08
again, the WWE and AEW
2:10
have different strategies
2:14
Here in the in the the year twenty twenty
2:16
three, the WWE is
2:19
trying to bore us to death
2:21
for an hour and fifty minutes out of
2:23
a two hour program. So within the ten minutes
2:25
where something actually does happen, worse
2:29
ish, we've missed it because it went
2:31
away. We're so starved for the side
2:33
of some real action that we just
2:35
overly fucking Commit
2:37
ourselves to it. And on the other hand,
2:41
AEW is firmly
2:43
convinced that the idea is to just
2:46
do as much shit
2:48
as humanly fucking possible
2:51
with as many people as possible
2:54
in random fucking order with the thought
2:56
that people are gonna stay tuned to see somebody
2:59
either get paralyzed or
3:01
fucking saw it in half
3:03
with a chainsaw. And
3:06
and there can be no middle ground.
3:09
No middle ground between light and shadow
3:11
between science and superstition. And
3:14
it's definitely lying in the pit of my
3:16
stomach. One
3:20
show I can take a bunch of notes on
3:22
on everything they're not to fucking do.
3:24
The other show I'm far and asleep with
3:27
the pin in my hand trying to fucking find
3:29
something to write.
3:31
They're not really doing anything wrong,
3:34
but they're not doing that much right?
3:38
You know what this means? What does this
3:40
mean? We need another billionaire. We
3:44
don't need another billion.
3:48
We just need the motherfuckers that
3:50
have the billions already to do the shit wrong.
3:53
That's exactly right.
3:55
We thought AEW was gonna be the alternative
3:57
to WWE and For
3:59
a while, it was alternative WWE, and
4:02
now they've kind of established Tony Conn's
4:05
brand of wrestling. We need
4:07
and I've said this for a while, we need a third company
4:09
that could actually just be the same one
4:12
and go down the lane of doing everything logical
4:14
and Let's see what happens
4:17
with
4:17
a budget, with
4:18
a billionaire, with a with a with a
4:20
budget, with a billion dollar budget,
4:23
Can you build Gates? Hey,
4:27
what about Mark Cuban? He
4:30
likes the wrestling. He's busy. He's
4:32
he's actually a hands on guy with a
4:34
lot of his stuff, so he's
4:35
busy. Well,
4:37
obey enough. Then he's gonna wanna get hands on with
4:39
Wesley. Then he's gonna wanna get hands on with Rhett.
4:41
Hey, I got an idea. Hey, you know what? I met
4:43
a guy downstairs And this guy's filled
4:45
with great ideas. Just sit out and talk with
4:47
him. No. He's not gonna be involved with our company.
4:53
Alright, man.
4:55
You know, even Spectrum, even our
4:57
fine friends at Spectrum Cable
5:00
are trying to help me with my wrestling
5:02
predicament. I've happened to watch all
5:04
these programs. You know what they did to
5:06
me this week?
5:07
No. It's a god day. It's a it's a concerted
5:09
effort now. And remember,
5:12
we've had the evidence. The evidence
5:14
bay bay bay had been right in front of our nose
5:16
at all. Remember, I saw the Spectrum truck.
5:19
And suddenly I had speeds of
5:21
four hundred and something pigs.
5:24
And then that guy was up in that tree for
5:26
two weeks with that telescope.
5:28
And then the truck comes back. And
5:30
I see the ladder of the bucket going up and
5:32
then the guy's gone out of the tree
5:35
and my speeds back to a hundred and something
5:37
megs. They took all the megs
5:39
with them. That was bizarre because
5:41
it happened
5:43
Remember, when you spotted
5:44
him the second time up there, yes,
5:46
I could see the reflection. You could
5:48
see the reflection in my computer
5:50
screen out my window of
5:52
this fucking orange
5:54
bucket.
5:56
And as big as a bucket, it was I
5:58
mean, nevertheless. It
5:59
was an old poem from Ricky Morton.
6:02
But the thing is then just
6:04
a few days ago as we're sitting here right
6:06
here right now speaking to you. The cult
6:09
of gordon out to people out there as we're speaking
6:11
to you. I
6:13
go into we got two DBRs in
6:15
the house and I record all the various programs
6:18
on because sometimes
6:20
I may wanna be in the TV room, sometimes
6:22
I may wanna be in little bit more
6:24
comfort and be on the the beautiful
6:26
Helix sleep mattress in the in the bedroom
6:30
and lay down to take the strain
6:32
off of me to watch some of this stuff, whatever
6:34
the case, and I enter so many
6:35
things, multiple channels. So I
6:37
got it all fucking programmed
6:39
up. I go into
6:41
a bedroom, turn TV on,
6:44
I don't know what your cable
6:47
screen or whatever is laid out like.
6:49
Brian. But when you
6:51
hit the the dealios,
6:54
the the guide thing,
6:56
it pops up On the left hand
6:58
side, there's the list of functions.
7:01
You've got your program guide
7:04
and you've got the on demand service
7:07
and you've got the DVR and
7:09
you've got special functions
7:11
and whatever this list is on the left hand
7:14
side. Right? And you just click on whichever
7:16
thing you wanna go to. If I made
7:18
that clear, I
7:21
don't know if I would call that clear, but I understand.
7:23
Alright. Well, as clear as it's gonna
7:26
get. I look the
7:28
goddamn the DVR
7:30
function is not there. It's
7:33
not on the screen. You can't click on it.
7:36
I'm like, how do I get to my DVR to watch
7:38
my programs? And I've
7:40
Fucking. I'm looking at this remote and
7:42
there's no actual button that says
7:44
DVR because
7:47
it's on the screen and you can just select
7:49
it. And I've got dozens
7:52
of programs on this thing. And
7:54
then I said, well, wait a minute. And I try to you know,
7:57
with the with the DVR. You can pause
7:59
the programming or you could rewind it
8:01
or you could record what I
8:03
I press pause the little light lights
8:05
up on the on the cable box
8:07
down there, but nothing happens. Or
8:10
reverse or fast forward or hit
8:12
record. No. When I go to the cable
8:15
guide, and
8:17
I click on a program and and where
8:19
it normally says, you wanna watch this,
8:21
you wanna reminder, you wanna record. I don't
8:23
have the option to board it. It's like they
8:25
have slipped in from the insides of
8:27
my walls and
8:29
disabled every part
8:32
of the DVR feature that was there
8:34
the day before in
8:36
the same fucking box. That
8:40
is now mysteriously vanished without
8:42
a trace. But
8:44
down in the TV room, The
8:47
DVR function is still on the
8:49
screen. Everything works as normal. All the
8:51
programs are there with the same kind of goddamn
8:53
box and the same kind of goddamn
8:55
remote. Riddle
8:59
me that Batman. They're
9:01
digging in. They're making us personal now.
9:03
They've heard the comments I've made about him.
9:06
They've heard all those public service announcements
9:08
where I've said, do not under
9:10
any circumstances deal. With
9:13
these shysters, these flem flowers,
9:15
these con men, these snake oil
9:17
salesman. They will take twice
9:19
the money for half the service.
9:23
And now they're digging into getting personal.
9:26
I'm gonna take an ax when we get finished
9:29
with this program. I'm gonna
9:31
take an axe to the interior
9:33
of every single one of my walls
9:35
until I find that son of a bitch. And
9:38
I'm a pull my goddamn DVR
9:41
back from his grip and
9:43
plug it back into wherever the fuck it plugs
9:45
into this thing.
9:48
It just paid completely vanished.
9:50
The funny part is, as soon as you said, I would pick up
9:52
an ax. I I didn't react. I was like,
9:55
yeah, you know, it's it's about what I expect
9:57
them to do. I thought you're gonna say you're gonna
9:59
chop the TV or the
10:00
box, but no was the walls. I didn't
10:02
think, no. I'm gonna
10:03
find that. See, he's got my DVR stuff
10:05
in there somewhere.
10:07
I just pulled it out of the box.
10:08
How does that happen to just disappear
10:11
off the same goddamn but from one day to
10:13
the next. Did it update?
10:15
Did the box update? I
10:17
don't know what it did. I wasn't watching it
10:19
the whole goddamn day. I was going about
10:21
my business. It was sitting in the same place
10:23
when I got
10:23
back. I don't know whether it went out on a date or not.
10:26
The remote Yeah.
10:29
You said it was a different remote. It's the same remote.
10:31
Right?
10:31
That's the same remote.
10:32
Okay. Did you try to say that the one down?
10:35
Have the same remote. Like, there was some kinda
10:36
No. It's the same exact
10:39
brand. It's the same exact thing
10:41
in both places. And one
10:44
continues function as it did the previous
10:46
day and one has totally
10:49
quit doing all the things related to the DVR
10:51
and it's not even
10:53
available function that you can select
10:55
on their screen of death.
10:59
Maybe there's a wrestling fan that controls
11:01
it. Let me
11:02
try to try to shut you down.
11:04
Well, no. Maybe they're trying to help me, so I won't
11:06
have to watch these fucking program. Yeah. So
11:11
The answer to a question you asked off
11:13
the air about, oh, we've not yet
11:15
watched the China biography. We might
11:17
not be able to. I don't
11:19
I've got to dig into that further and see where
11:21
else it might be available because I think it was
11:23
on that one. But
11:26
I want to jump back to last week for
11:28
a second because I'm still afraid
11:30
I felt bad all week. Meaning.
11:34
Stop it. Stop
11:37
it. Did I meet.
11:41
That I may have offended
11:44
or injured the feelings
11:46
of the very least Regis parents much
11:48
less any cart lovers out there.
11:51
And again, it was because we had I
11:53
can't even remember now because that overshadowed
11:56
everything. But we were in some depressing
11:59
topic or some
12:01
downer type of buzz killing moment
12:03
that you probably precipitated there,
12:05
fella.
12:06
We were talking about coach Crum. You precipitated
12:08
it. Well, no. Well, I was talking
12:10
about hell. He couldn't be
12:13
at his e six birthday party because
12:15
he's been written as beloved figure.
12:17
And I said, well, let's go to
12:19
the emails to to
12:21
cheer us up or to get to something
12:24
more uplifting or in a more
12:26
entertaining fashion.
12:28
And I had said it top of the program,
12:30
but I didn't have a chance because it's hectic
12:32
around here that way hectic. And
12:35
I I didn't have chance to organize as I
12:37
usually do. We don't script this program,
12:39
obviously. But I do
12:41
usually have an order of events. Well, I'll read
12:43
these first and that second or whatever, and
12:46
I just had the stack. And immediately went
12:48
to the cat with lymphoma.
12:51
And it just struck me wrong.
12:52
Rejji. His name is Rejji. And yes.
12:55
Poor Rejji.
12:58
And then in in in a
13:01
way so
13:03
what I did last week.
13:05
I apologize. But now I'm
13:08
prepared for because we are animal
13:10
lovers here on the program, and we do
13:12
encourage to coke members to have their
13:15
beloved pets recognized. So
13:17
I'm gonna do this at a respectful tone.
13:19
I'll have you know. I
13:22
had no goddamn meowing.
13:25
Are you setting it up like you run through the towns
13:27
for West Shore Home? I wanna say, are you gonna do this?
13:30
No. Just I don't want you.
13:32
And this is about a a puppy anyway.
13:35
And this is for both of us, dear
13:37
Jim and Brian. My name is Dan.
13:40
And I live in a small town near Boston, Massachusetts.
13:43
My fourteen year old dog Daisy
13:46
has been with my family since I was four
13:48
years old and sadly the friend who I
13:50
saw grow up beside me has
13:52
grown old and is soon to be put down.
13:55
And I wanted to thank you for the laughs and entertainment
13:57
you've provided me during these hard times
13:59
as I deal with the upcoming loss of my
14:01
beloved dog, as well as working
14:04
nights after school to finish out my senior
14:06
year of high school, so we're getting
14:08
them young too there, Brian. As
14:11
I try to pay for college next year
14:13
and industrious and educated,
14:15
that's our audience. I
14:18
often listen to the podcast during school and
14:20
work so some days you guys will get me through full
14:22
ten to twelve hours of bullshit. Well,
14:25
thank you, Dan, and we're sorry to hear
14:27
about Daisy.
14:29
Yeah. That sucks. That breaks my heart when you hear
14:31
this. As a dog owner, it's like, you know
14:33
but you hate to hear about it because we all love
14:35
our
14:35
pets, and that
14:37
stinks. Well, and and It's
14:40
not funny like Reggie. It no.
14:42
It did not quit. And also, I
14:44
don't know me and Harley. We I she
14:46
has better medical care than I do.
14:49
I'm I'm trying to keep her around as long
14:51
as I'm around. So if if hopefully,
14:54
we'll split the difference and go at the same time
14:56
in about twenty years. You said fourteen years.
14:58
That's That's a pretty good run. That's that's
15:00
a pretty the first dog
15:02
I had, which was actually my father's
15:05
dog, Joc, was a cockerspaniel. And
15:08
he lived to be sixteen and a half.
15:11
And finally, we had to have him put sleep
15:13
or I didn't. I was you know, six
15:16
or whatever at the time, but that
15:18
dog survived getting
15:21
backed over by a car, got a pin put in
15:23
his hip, Fellow
15:25
in the neighbor's fish pond in the wintertime,
15:27
froze stiff. They had to throw him out in front of the fireplace,
15:30
got attacked by I've
15:32
told that story before. The
15:35
the neighbor's dog that killed my beagle
15:37
a few years earlier had attacked joc,
15:41
and he'd made it through that. That's
15:43
the one that my mother ran out of
15:45
the neighborhood at gunpoint. And
15:48
he also had had tetanus and loch
15:50
jaw, and finally was
15:53
blind and couldn't hear. But
15:56
what a tough fucking dog? He was like the Mick
15:58
Foley of dogs. Anyway
16:02
Always creeping up on the dealers. Say
16:04
again? Nothing. Nothing. I I did not
16:06
I did not hear you
16:07
legitimately. I'm sorry if I stepped on the line,
16:09
it might have been funny accidentally by you.
16:12
Always creeping up on the divas. Oh,
16:14
come on now for heaven's
16:16
sake. But that is not terrible.
16:19
And here's this is actually a letter,
16:21
and I wanted to read this because it's a
16:23
fucking letter. That
16:26
this young lady named Amy from
16:29
down in South Carolina wrote and
16:31
sent to the post office box that
16:33
I have here for in
16:36
Addressed to both of us, Brian, to both
16:38
of us because we both do that. And it's to the Cornette
16:40
drive through, so it's even your show. Hello,
16:42
Amy? But she
16:46
she not only wrote an actual letter,
16:48
it's actually written in by hand. So
16:50
I wanted to recognize this and it's very
16:52
nice. Dear Jim
16:54
and Brian, thank you so much for the podcast.
16:57
And the much needed comic relief, YouTube
17:00
have really helped me to smile more this past
17:02
month. Recently, the
17:04
most beloved person in my life, my granny
17:06
passed away. She went through a
17:08
rapid decline, and I've never been so
17:11
heartbroken and lost in my whole life.
17:13
She was the only person in my family I
17:15
had or I'm sorry, the only person
17:17
in my family I had an amazing
17:19
and loving relationship with, so that makes
17:21
it especially devastating. And
17:23
she actually Amy said a picture of her
17:26
her granny and also her and her puppy
17:28
dog. Your podcast
17:30
has helped me a lot. You guys helped me to smile
17:33
and take my mind off of my loss with the
17:36
humor and commentary. I
17:38
do hate to hear about Brian's father.
17:40
However, it makes me feel like someone else genuinely
17:43
understands the grief that I'm experiencing
17:45
too. So thank you guys for sharing
17:47
that. And, Amy, thank
17:49
you for sharing that in the picture of you and your
17:52
Grammy, and this letter,
17:54
and it it meant a lot you actually wrote it and
17:56
put a stamp on it, mailed it, which almost
17:58
nobody does anymore. That's
18:00
very nice. But
18:02
anyway, I wanted to recognize before
18:04
we just this show completely degenerates
18:07
into
18:08
Chaos.
18:09
Did I get a handkerchief? What's the next story?
18:11
No. No. I'm saying I wanted to
18:13
get those two out of the way before you start
18:15
fuck it with me and I would break up or laugh
18:18
or do something inappropriate. Because now
18:20
I wanna go back now to the
18:22
next email is something that we were talking
18:24
about. Here not
18:26
long ago, remember John
18:28
fell. I
18:30
remember John fell from Baltimore.
18:32
Yes that he got back up and then he wrote
18:34
the email saying that he reminded us
18:36
that sugar
18:38
sugar by the Archie's is the
18:41
song that that replaced Huggies
18:44
Talk Women by The Rolling Stones is
18:46
a number one song. Would it hit number
18:48
one in nineteen sixty nine. So
18:50
the Archie's bumped the rolling
18:54
stones out of the number one spot and
18:57
which I remember by the way, I wasn't
18:59
actually a rolling stones fan because I was
19:01
fucking eight. But
19:03
I have all the Archie's out albums and watched
19:05
the cartoon show and goddamn, you
19:08
know, that was just the the greatest music
19:10
in the whole world. But then
19:12
we were talking about the Archie said, I couldn't
19:14
remember Reggie's name. Reggie's last name. Reggie's
19:17
last name. He always goes back to Reggie.
19:19
Well, no. It's unbelievable with this guy.
19:21
This has been nice. Stop it.
19:23
Would you quit this? That
19:26
was completely an unrelated issue
19:29
or time pick that just happened to have
19:31
the same name and the god damn both of them,
19:33
and I wasn't even but anyway, it was
19:35
reggie mantle according to Lucas.
19:38
From wherever the fuck. He doesn't
19:40
say where he's from, but Lucas wrote in.
19:44
Reggie mantle was the egotistical rival
19:46
to Archie Andrews, and no, not the
19:48
cat. So it was Archie
19:50
Andrews, Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper,
19:53
and Reggie Mantel. And
19:55
of course, Jughead Jones. And
19:57
and Brian asked what was Jughead's
20:00
given Christian first name?
20:04
Juggage, Jerome. No.
20:06
I don't know. Foresight.
20:10
That
20:10
was my next guess. Four scythe
20:12
p Jones.
20:15
And that one of those times where jughead's
20:17
the better name. Well, in
20:19
in actuality, you know, it's kinda like,
20:22
you know, some of the guys that have changed the crusher
20:24
was probably a a better wrestling
20:26
name than Rejji Lusowski,
20:28
but Could a wrestler pull off jughead?
20:30
Could a serious heel be jughead?
20:33
No. Jugg
20:33
head? Something. Jugg head, Andrew's.
20:36
Well, now you're now you're just
20:38
ripping off a goddamn Archie's.
20:41
Did your jug had Andrews? What the No.
20:44
You can't have a a heel named
20:46
jughead, a heel stooge, maybe
20:48
the big maybe if if
20:50
when cowboy Fraser was fucking
20:52
lawler's bodyguard, he could have called him
20:55
Jughead and got away with it, but I don't know.
20:57
But, though you can't have a heel
20:59
named Jughead. Did you like the Bazooka
21:01
Jug comics that came with the gum? No.
21:04
Because I wasn't a gum fan. I
21:07
was I'd never liked gum that much when
21:09
I was a
21:10
kid. And my mom I
21:11
just hated joy. I hated joy.
21:13
Well, no. No. Stop it. Well,
21:15
what's fun about chewing up? Because
21:17
here's the thing. First of all,
21:19
my mother's gum of choice was
21:21
didn't mean because she thought you ought
21:23
to get something out of it. Right? The fresh breath
21:26
or the fucking this thin teen because
21:28
the word dent is in it. And
21:30
so is dentistry. Somehow it was good for
21:32
your teeth. I don't know. And
21:34
I want a ginteen fan
21:37
and and if
21:39
you chew a goddamn piece
21:42
of Rigley's fucking
21:44
juicy fruit or whatever. Well, for about
21:46
the first twenty seven seconds, you got some
21:48
flavor there, and then you're chewing a goddamn
21:51
piece of fucking
21:52
rubber. In your mouth. But I'm
21:54
talking about bubblegum, Bazooka, they
21:56
had their comics, and then double bubble had their
21:58
rip off Bazooka comics.
22:01
Should I admit something, bubblicious?
22:04
Yes. Exactly. I've
22:08
never blown a bubble
22:10
with bubble gum. And
22:12
I don't know that I know how
22:14
to blow a I can't blow up
22:16
balloons or or
22:19
bubbles of the I don't know how it works.
22:22
I don't know. It doesn't work. I've
22:24
always had to have my balloons professionally
22:26
inflated because I'll sit there and go
22:29
I don't know what
22:29
the fuck. What the whole box? These are two separate
22:32
things altogether. And and blowing a
22:34
goddamn. I don't understand how you
22:36
would do that. To blow a bubble out of
22:38
gum. And what motion
22:40
you would make or how you would purse
22:42
and form your
22:43
lips? That's almost
22:45
understandable because you don't like gum. You already
22:48
said it. You're not a
22:48
gum fan, so you
22:49
don't have
22:50
any practice or expertise. Yeah.
22:52
You can't blow the balloon. What's that
22:54
about? Never been able to oh, god. I almost
22:57
had a fucking stroke. It's
22:59
the Alamo Plaza hotel in Shreveport
23:02
the night before that goddamn party
23:03
celebration for
23:06
the midnight express where they smashed my face
23:08
the cake and we did the anger with Watts.
23:11
I was trying to blow up post goddamn balloons
23:14
and almost had a stroke and was
23:16
needed an oxygen tank trying to I had, like,
23:18
two or three balloons. I had to get up early the
23:20
next morning and go
23:22
over to a back camera when fucking
23:25
store it was, grocery store and go
23:27
in and have them blow me up some fucking
23:29
balloons.
23:31
This is I'd never I mean, this is astounding
23:34
to I don't even know what to say or what to
23:36
ask. Well, we weren't even
23:38
supposed to be talking about balloons. Did this
23:40
start? It's just like a wavey to get out of blown up
23:42
balloons, and then it just became like a
23:44
thing where you just keep going. I can't get
23:46
in I can't make it. I see other people
23:48
just go, when these things just get big
23:50
and I'm like, I don't know what the technique
23:52
is. I'm sorry. So
23:55
I have professional balloons done technique.
23:58
I was going back to, well, there's a there's a
24:00
fucking art to it apparently.
24:02
Oh, apparently. A technique of
24:04
some description. How do you are you talking about
24:06
any balloon or like a balloon animal long
24:08
thin one?
24:10
Are you talking? Just like any balloon? Like a loose
24:12
balloon? Balloon. Yes. Any balloon.
24:15
I'd you know, I
24:17
I don't know how they make the fucking balloon
24:19
animals, but I assume most people can't
24:21
do that where they twist them into a goddamn
24:23
replica of a pelican and a goddamn
24:25
ocelot. I don't
24:27
understand that whole business either. Well, these
24:29
are harder to blow up sometimes than the regular
24:33
oval balloon. I don't know what to call
24:34
it. The normal shit balloon
24:37
thing. It I can I can get it up? I can get
24:39
it looking like a fucking cat
24:41
of a soggy orange or whatever,
24:44
maybe even up to a fucking
24:46
mid level fucking mushy grapefruit, and
24:48
then they just don't go too much
24:49
further. This
24:51
is such a fascinating thing. Alright. Well,
24:53
I'm glad you're fascinated, but where I was
24:55
going, you see, I was gonna tie the discussion
24:58
I was having about the Archie's. This
25:00
video will be Jim Cornett on gum and
25:02
balloons.
25:04
Well, that's You've now you've doomed it
25:06
to only get forty or fifty thousand views.
25:10
But what I was going to make an analogy,
25:13
draw a similarly, a comparison, if you
25:15
will, The arches
25:19
and the monkeys, is
25:21
that what we've got with wrestling these days
25:23
or we're about to have with wrestling these days
25:25
especially with the WWE if if what
25:27
we're gonna talk about about
25:30
them later on comes to pass. Don
25:33
Kircher just said, you know what? These fucking
25:35
rock stars. They're too goddamn hard to
25:37
deal with. I'm just gonna make my own band.
25:40
And then when he made his
25:42
own band, but they got hard to deal
25:44
with, he said fuck it. I'm
25:47
just gonna make them all cartoon characters. And
25:49
then I can draw them into doing whatever I
25:51
want to and he got a number one fucking record
25:54
out of a fucking cartoon band.
25:58
Is that what the end
26:01
goal of the WWE
26:04
is especially now just
26:07
get some fucking people to voice
26:09
these characters. If they can if
26:11
they're we're gonna talk about the betting later
26:14
on. If they can do that and they can figure out
26:16
a way to computer generate these son of a bitches.
26:19
Then it then wrestling is gonna be the equivalent
26:21
of the Archie's in nineteen sixty
26:23
nine. The real human
26:25
beings were too
26:27
hard to deal with and we couldn't minimize
26:31
their involvement enough. So now we
26:33
have just taken them out of it and we're
26:35
gonna create our own fucking
26:36
wrestlers. You know, with
26:39
Don Kirschner, he came out of the bro building.
26:42
He was there before
26:44
the Beatles. He was there after
26:46
the Beatles. This is that period of
26:48
time. The end of the Beatles after the
26:50
Beatles. So again, here's a guy
26:52
whose business as
26:54
a
26:55
publisher was getting his songs published.
26:57
The singer songwriter.
27:00
The bands writing their own songs were
27:02
a problem.
27:03
Yeah. Some of them still covered stuff, but
27:05
It was something that was
27:07
decreasing. And
27:09
when you have a manufactured band,
27:13
You're guaranteed that they'll play your
27:15
songs. And then when they rebel against
27:17
you, you just have them drawn. I mean, that's what
27:19
it is. Or
27:23
redrawn as the
27:25
case may be. And
27:27
and that's I think that's what
27:29
they're going for at least in the WWE
27:32
now because, I
27:34
mean, have you ever seen a time where
27:37
there was There
27:39
in in the WWE in history, from the
27:41
territory day sixty, seventy's, Vince
27:43
taken over in the eighties, attitude era of
27:45
the nineties, even two thousands, where
27:49
there were only a couple of legitimate main
27:52
event guys and everybody else
27:54
was on the same par with each other and
27:56
just kind of Fucking
27:58
taken turns wrestling each other every week.
28:03
That's why So I think, you know and and
28:05
And the stars that they have made
28:07
are aging rapidly. So
28:10
do we, you know, do we expect sugar,
28:13
sugar in in the next eight years.
28:16
The new champion here he is. We've just
28:18
created him. He's your computer generated
28:21
hero. You know,
28:23
that's something too, like, you know, again, taking
28:25
your thoughts or feelings about him
28:27
as a person or a performer out of it,
28:29
with Kenny Omega, former AEW
28:32
champion. Let's say WWE does
28:34
sign him. He's not a kid.
28:37
This isn't someone you could look at like, yeah, this
28:39
is a great future
28:39
investment. This is an investment
28:42
in right now hopefully for
28:44
a little bit. He just took nine
28:46
months off having multiple surgeries
28:49
to correct previous injuries,
28:51
and he's almost forty. So
28:54
at this point and I'm
28:56
not even saying this to knock him, but
28:59
the WWE a if
29:01
he was not in a prominent position
29:03
on the other gas program, wouldn't offer him contract
29:06
because of they've turned down people younger
29:08
and in better shape because of agent injuries.
29:10
Previous injuries. But
29:13
they will offer him a contract because
29:15
he's on the other program so they can do
29:17
some damage to them. At this point,
29:19
In the days where Vince had to personally
29:23
approve the amount of money
29:25
that each wrestler got and in
29:28
those days are not that long ago.
29:32
No. There's no way that they would have
29:35
you know, offered him big money
29:37
at this stage in his life, but now
29:39
that the that the money doesn't
29:41
really matter because it's not big money anymore
29:44
in their overall multibillion dollar
29:46
scheme of things, they'll
29:48
offer him probably offering
29:51
a significant amount of money for
29:53
three years to
29:56
take him away from the other guys and
29:58
to ensure that by the time he would
30:00
ever go back to the other guys, if
30:03
they're still around at that point, he'd
30:05
be almost in his mid
30:07
forties and certainly in
30:10
not better physical condition
30:12
than he is now after taking three more years
30:15
of any kind of bumps. So
30:17
that's it. When they
30:19
used to have to watch out for what
30:22
they spent in terms of talent,
30:25
payments, talent salaries, they
30:29
might not have been so gung ho to
30:31
to get him because it wouldn't have been worth it
30:33
in the long run. It would have at other people in the
30:35
locker room. But now that it's
30:37
not a it's a negligible amount
30:40
of money to them, You
30:43
know, then there's every yeah. We'll just take
30:45
him out of that equation and see how they do.
30:48
Don't even have to use him. They don't have to justify
30:50
the sound. We used to have to I've
30:53
heard the phrase from
30:55
Vance Andor Jim Ross. Directed
30:58
at anybody on the creative team just
31:00
file a salary. They don't
31:03
have to anymore. They can just leave them, set
31:05
them a check, and they don't even
31:06
notice. And
31:08
with Omega, like I said, this, to your point,
31:10
is it's about developing stars in the Earth
31:12
thin at the top and everyone's getting older, that's the
31:14
case of if you sign someone who is a star
31:16
to a portion of the audience, their
31:19
old say you really can't make it long term investment
31:21
more than likely other than
31:23
MJF. Who knows
31:26
if he'll ever leave AEW? And
31:28
I hate to play that game because that game's gonna be going
31:30
on over and over again for a while. So other than
31:32
him, Is there anyone
31:34
under thirty? That would
31:36
actually be an impactful signing from
31:40
WWE or by WWE. When
31:43
Chris Yaracos signed there, I
31:45
don't even think he was thirty yet. You
31:48
know, so he had a good run-in
31:50
WWE. I love this run-in WWE, and then
31:52
he had a long run-in WWE,
31:55
and he came back several times He
31:57
was young enough that he was able to do that. Is there
31:59
anyone they actually could sign
32:01
under thirty that
32:03
they wouldn't just throwing NXT and treat like crap
32:05
for a few
32:06
years. I can actually come up there.
32:08
Oh, okay. Now you put a qualifier in
32:11
that drastically even reduces that number.
32:13
Maybe I shouldn't have. Yeah. Well, that's
32:15
my question. Well, there's
32:18
there's almost nobody anywhere
32:21
that they could just sign
32:24
and bring to straight to the main roster
32:27
without NXT except well,
32:29
and right now, again, you
32:31
don't wanna play game with MJF, but
32:33
they couldn't sign him right now because he's the
32:35
champion he's under contract. Whether
32:39
in next year, twenty twenty four, whatever,
32:42
he'd still under thirty, and
32:44
they could still you know, he would I
32:48
certainly to God would have
32:50
hoped that they wouldn't send him to
32:53
NXT because you've got the chance
32:55
there to
32:57
you know, have a guy that's the been
33:00
the world champion from another
33:02
other company. The only other company fleet.
33:04
No. There's no way. They would bring him up and he'd be an
33:06
impact player on the main
33:07
roster. You couldn't well, I mean, you know,
33:10
stupid things happen all the time. But, yeah, you
33:12
you would have to think that crossover because they're getting
33:14
a guy that's so that
33:17
really doesn't need to be taught anything. They need
33:19
to learn some things from him. But otherwise than
33:21
that, I was gonna how old his Hobbs. But
33:24
he needs to go to NXT. Anybody
33:28
under thirty in AEW With
33:30
the exception of MJF, would
33:32
need would it would be a disservice
33:35
not to send them to NXT because
33:38
they've gotten Sir,
33:42
varying degrees of training and whatever
33:44
endies they've come from And
33:46
maybe they've had some good influences, but
33:49
the they would certainly
33:51
have to learn how a professional Organization
33:54
is booked and and the TV is presented
33:57
if nothing else. Hobbes
34:00
is thirty two. Yeah.
34:04
Well, but it matters not. He I
34:07
mean, we could sit here and go through the list, but
34:09
I can't think of anybody off top of my head that
34:12
from AEW under thirty that shouldn't
34:14
go to NXT. Anyway,
34:22
so that but you know, I'm gonna
34:24
I was gonna read this, but fuck it.
34:26
Now that you've made mockery of me for other
34:28
things, I'm gonna save this for next week. Well,
34:30
what's that? Hold on. What is that? No. No.
34:33
No. Because I've had a bad
34:35
week. I've had a tough week, a
34:37
rough week, a hard week for heaven's
34:39
sake. I got the cameos done.
34:42
haven't even told you about all of this.
34:47
Obviously, Hodgkin's put the the
34:49
cameos on sale last
34:52
Saturday, and it was another success. And
34:54
thank you guys very much. And I'm sorry for you by
34:56
it missed out. I said we're gonna be doing it a
34:58
few I'll get to the spring
35:00
news in a minute. We'll do
35:02
them again in a few months when things slow down,
35:04
but We we split
35:07
it up over two days and the second
35:09
day of day, oh, this will be easy. We got the
35:11
first half knocked out. And
35:13
this was on Thursday. Okay. And I'm
35:16
looking out the window to see when Hotchkiss is
35:18
pulling up, and here comes a thirty
35:20
foot fucking tanker
35:22
truck from my
35:25
the people that do my fertilization
35:27
of my trees. And
35:29
it just happens that that's the day that it's falling
35:32
on. I'm saying, oh, god. Well, well, he pulls
35:34
up in the driveway. He's backed up sideways.
35:36
He's got this tube and his hose and his running
35:38
this motor, and he's doing the
35:40
fertilization. And
35:42
then I think Hachkus is coming up and
35:44
here comes my contractor because that was
35:46
the one day we've got some polishes on
35:49
some of the woodwork and
35:51
they were installing a few other things and then we're
35:53
almost done. We have cabinet, and
35:55
countertop to be assembled, etcetera,
35:58
but main part of those rooms is
36:00
done. Here comes four
36:02
contractors and their associates
36:04
in three different vehicles,
36:07
and they're parked by the side of the goddamn driveway.
36:10
And then Hodges gets here And
36:13
I'm trying to shoot it, but now I'm looking at the
36:15
traffic out in my driveway. And
36:18
then here comes Brian. My
36:21
new yard crew, the the
36:23
fine folks that replaced Landon
36:26
the idiot, Four
36:29
guys, two trucks, and a giant
36:31
trailer that's so wide, it almost doesn't
36:33
fit through my front gate. And
36:36
I had all these people trying to do circles
36:38
in my backyard and or back out and
36:41
or back around while I was finishing the cameos.
36:44
But we got
36:46
it done by Cracking except for
36:48
one. And I told
36:50
you about this, and you got a snicker
36:52
out of. There was one cameo request,
36:55
and it's the only one I've ever refunded.
36:58
I just I can't fill this.
37:01
The guy wanted me well, the
37:03
instruction was Jim,
37:07
please be the announcer
37:10
and call the match between me
37:14
and a wrestler you make
37:16
up, call it from in
37:18
music and entrance to introductions
37:21
to finish. How?
37:25
And how? And there's
37:27
no way I mean, on so
37:29
many levels, for
37:33
video, especially that this
37:35
would be awkward. Besides
37:38
the fact that you can't actually send
37:40
through the cameo process. Maybe in
37:42
future iterations of this. You can't actually
37:44
send a picture of who you are.
37:47
So I know what you look like. Or
37:49
how or whether you'd be using a bear hug
37:51
or a drop kick. And
37:53
also, wrestler I make up, does that
37:55
mean that's the best Does that
37:57
mean an existing wrestler that I don't
37:59
pick or one that I make up
38:02
from scratch like, you know, Crotchey
38:04
Mcgrabington. And
38:07
then the introductions will
38:09
where are you from? And how much do you
38:11
weigh? And what
38:14
the fuck? And then how
38:17
would the how would the
38:19
camera be focused here? Because, like,
38:21
what if if I'm the announcer, am
38:23
I looking at the camera or am I looking
38:25
at a monitor that has nothing on
38:27
it? Calling
38:32
something that I'm imagining seeing.
38:35
And and then and you
38:37
brought up. Should I do the the old time
38:40
radio announcer, but the Gary Owens bit
38:42
and cut my ear. Oh,
38:44
where we are, ladies and gentlemen. I
38:47
mean, it it and I said,
38:50
I just look I said, I and he paid
38:52
a, you know, a good sum of money for this.
38:54
And was like, I can't take
38:56
your money because I think this will be
38:58
direct. So I and he graciously,
39:02
you know, reply don't don't hard feelings.
39:04
I understand. And we'll try to get
39:06
next time, but I'll give something
39:08
easy instead. Just cut a promo on me.
39:11
Well, that that
39:14
was another several of them is I
39:16
would get the instruction that Oh,
39:18
my husband loves you and he listens to your
39:21
shows all the time. Cut a vicious
39:23
promo on him. For
39:25
for two minutes over that, what you
39:27
know, is there anything wrong with him? Does
39:29
this fucking paint
39:31
smell? Give me something to work with.
39:33
Right? But
39:35
but that but that would be that would
39:37
be a bit awkward. Hi. It's
39:39
Jim Cornette. By the way, your wife tells me
39:42
Oh, I've done that. You're the chain smell.
39:44
Yeah. I've done a few of those.
39:47
Tell and family members they need to lose
39:50
weight or their ass or whatever.
39:53
I've done few of those. But anyway,
39:56
so thank you again to everybody who participated
40:00
in the the big cameo of
40:02
of extravaganza, but now
40:05
we're moving on to the burrito. It's almost spring,
40:08
Brian. And I said there was big
40:10
things going on in the spring and I
40:13
hear that. That is the documentation. Of
40:16
the big things that are going on in the
40:18
spring. The spring's
40:20
spectacular sail at jim Cornette
40:22
dot com at cornet collectibles. Everybody
40:25
has been brow beating me because
40:27
I have not released new
40:29
merchandise. The last thing was the two
40:31
new figures. Said, Jim
40:34
get with the fucking program, but a lot
40:36
of the collectors out there have everything,
40:38
well, For
40:40
the spring spectacular sale,
40:42
we are out doing ourselves three
40:44
brand new, never before offered
40:46
items. At jim Cornette
40:48
dot com across a
40:51
wide spectrum of genres Brian
40:53
last. Would you like to hear about this?
40:55
I would love to hear about this. Well,
40:57
I'm glad you said that because I'll tell you
41:00
I would like to hear it here goes. A spectrum
41:02
of genres. A a cornucopia
41:05
and a plethora. Of
41:08
of genres of collectibles. First
41:11
of all, we mentioned this a couple months ago
41:13
and I jumped
41:15
into action on behalf of the Cult
41:17
of when they requested it, but I tell
41:20
our friend Kenny Macintosh And
41:22
his folks over inside the ropes in the
41:24
United Kingdom, the live tours,
41:26
the magazine, while the inside the ropes
41:29
magazine, The December
41:31
twenty twenty two issue, which featured
41:34
Moa, on the cover
41:36
of the piece, and a lot of people saw it on Twitter,
41:39
as well as a big six page interview
41:42
inside, was the best
41:44
selling issue in the history of the
41:46
magazine. By
41:48
a a decent percentage from what I'm told.
41:50
You're irrelevant. I'm well,
41:53
and you know what? See, that's the problem.
41:56
That's the problem. If I was more irrelevant,
41:59
I would already be retired because I'd be
42:02
selling even more magazines. Ir relevancy
42:04
is the key to success. But
42:07
anyway, since
42:09
this issue of this fine magazine
42:13
sold out quickly on across
42:15
the stands, across the pond, and
42:17
it was only available by mail order
42:20
for the folks in the United States
42:23
and not available autograft.
42:26
By me, we have chosen to
42:29
fix all that up. And by
42:31
special arrangement with the inside
42:34
the ropes folks, I am the exclusive
42:37
US distributor Of
42:39

42:44
who were experiencing what our friends
42:46
across the pond have have to
42:49
put up with when they have to order things from
42:51
here. They ever said, oh, I don't wanna
42:53
pay the the shipping from England or
42:55
gosh. It takes so long. Well, now,
42:58
It will be available personally autographed
43:00

43:33
and inside the ropes are the ones that brought
43:36
me over to England back
43:38
in twenty sixteen to do
43:41
a a live sit down show
43:43
in London. We
43:46
call it a sit down show because both of us were
43:48
old and didn't wanna stand up. Me
43:50
and Jim Ross, on the rise of the attitude
43:53
era, that was my Last
43:55
London appearance back in twenty sixteen,
43:59
and the DVD of

little over two hours of Jim
44:05
Ross and myself on stage with
44:07
Young Kenny, sometimes he kept us to
44:09
the format. Oftentimes we branched
44:12
off. But the
44:14
entire conversation there as well
44:16
as the surprise run-in
44:18
by Brett Hart And
44:20
for the last, I think, twenty, twenty five minutes

44:57

44:59
the wrong drum. What the hell was that? Here.
45:02
Here's my drum. But
45:10
the PEACE deResistance, the
45:12
third item on sale Saturday, April
45:14
eighth, the jim Cornette dot com, and that's noon
45:16
eastern, my latest
45:18
action figure Brian laughs
45:21
and I'll have you know that
45:23
while all this time in my life,
45:25
I've been a heel. I'm deciding I'm switching
45:27
babyface on this one. This
45:30
is my first babyface figure
45:32
because it's going to be for
45:34
a good cause. You know, I've
45:37
worn every kind of color in the world.
45:40
Right? So when we think about the
45:42
designs, well, we had my raw
45:44
debut. And we had my the
45:46
bloody variant, whereas we're in the white
45:49
jacket, you know, when Paulie cracked me with the
45:51
phone and had the original one
45:53
which was my red and
45:55
yellow Oscar Meyer Hot Dog outfit
45:57
that was so popular. Blah blah. When we're doing
45:59
these designs, we're thinking of ideas because
46:01
I've worn everything. And
46:05
this idea actually germinated with
46:07
Stacey because she just was because you
46:09
know the lead time on these things and and how
46:12
long we have to plan ahead because they gotta
46:14
be handmade, come over on a boat,
46:16
blah blah blah. And
46:18
she had seen me in an old another
46:21
pink jacket, a darker pink than the
46:23
raw debut at a picture, and At
46:26
the same time, she had this was almost
46:28
three years ago now. She had
46:30
the pink and
46:32
black breast cancer license
46:34
plate on her car she had been. And
46:38
she was thinking about Donna Eton because
46:40
Donna This before she
46:42
passed away was was sick, had breast
46:44
cancer, and she was thinking about my mom,
46:47
who had had breast cancer, and She
46:50
said, why don't you do that
46:53
kind of that I don't know what the
46:55
exact shade
46:57
or whatever the technical term is
47:00
at Fusia. But
47:02
she said, do the breast cancer pink, like on
47:04
my license plate for your mom and for
47:06
Donna and vets, etcetera, etcetera, we've known
47:08
a number of people. And
47:10
as okay, So
47:13
we got those in the pipeline and
47:15
those are here and
47:17
there's gonna be a thousand of them And
47:20
what we're gonna do is each
47:22
one and and there's only gonna be one figure
47:24
this time. This is the only one being released
47:26
last time we did a doubleheader, but this when
47:28
it's deal. We've done
47:32
fundraisers for the crusade
47:34
for children before for various things. And,
47:36
of course, The American Cancer
47:38
Society we've done, and Jeremy
47:40
Baglins made the OG
47:42
Coke guys have helped with those. And last year,
47:45
we did Nami, the
47:47
National Alliance on Middle illness, this
47:50
one, a thousand pink
47:52
and black, breast cancer, pink and black,
47:55
Jim action figures, autographed
47:58
personally if you wish, and
48:01
we're doing ten dollars off of each
48:03
figure sold to the Susan
48:05
G. Coleman Foundation, to
48:07
fight breast cancer. And
48:09
it's not a gimmick who were not
48:11
like doing the increase in price deal
48:14
and jacketed up ten bucks from what it usually
48:16
is and give them the ten dollars away, which
48:18
as an old friend of mine you say, like, giving away
48:20
the sleeves on your vest, No
48:23
increase in price on the figure, but
48:25
we're donating ten dollars
48:27
each so the goal is to raise ten thousand dollars
48:29
for breast cancer. So,
48:33
again, that is the spring spectacular sale.
48:36

48:57
we got our we got our work cut out for us in
48:59
April. The feather bottoms are gonna be activated.
49:04
How many can we put you down for Brian?
49:06
I won. I don't wanna take anything away from
49:08
me. People out there who trying to get their hands
49:10
on
49:10
them. You don't wanna be greedy. No.
49:13
Well, good. Well, that's that's
49:15
mighty admirable of you. Where is
49:17
it on your website? I'm looking on your website now. I
49:19
don't see it. Not now. Now
49:22
when the people hear this, not
49:25
now as we're saying it, See,
49:29
now you've you've you've blown the k phase
49:31
on a on a feather bottoms deal. So you're gonna
49:34
be in a pink and
49:34
black, so if anyone ever wanted you
49:36
to manage The figure of Jim Cornette
49:38
manage the figure of Brett Hart. This
49:40
is Richard. There you go. Yeah.
49:42
And and and and
49:44
in nightheart and The heart foundation
49:46
was heart foundations. Yeah. Interesting.
49:49
See, in an alternate universe,
49:51
what if Watts had picked Jimmy
49:53
Hart? Would you have
49:55
been happy wearing the same color
49:57
scheme every night for at least
49:59
two years?
50:01
No. Well,
50:04
if it was integral to my
50:06
success, I wouldn't have minded it, but there
50:08
would have been a pain in the ass having to get, like,
50:10
fucking fifteen of the same jacket
50:12
and fifteen, the same pants, fifteen, the same
50:15
ties, fifty, or whatever the case. Because
50:19
you can't wear the same thing every fucking
50:21
day. Can't live like savage.
50:23
If you had managed the heart foundation knowing
50:26
how Vince
50:26
is. He had brought the hitman
50:28
heart, gym the Anvil night
50:30
heart, their manager was the mouth
50:33
of the South Jimmy Heart,
50:34
You would have needed something to tie you into heart.
50:37
So Jim, something cornet.
50:40
How about heartless? Jim,
50:45
heartless Cornette. I
50:48
don't but that you
50:50
know, I haven't even thought about that forever,
50:52
but that would have well, I wonder what would have happened.
50:55
Well, he wouldn't let him have him. And
50:57
Jimmy wouldn't have gone. I was gonna say
50:59
what we've watched one at Jimmy Hardisty to
51:01
me, and I was the one that stayed in Memphis. But
51:04
Jimmy lived in Memphis. He was from Memphis.
51:07
By that point, he was past
51:09
forty, and he wasn't gonna go
51:12
fight those fucking fans in Louisiana, I
51:14
don't think. Whereas,
51:17
you know, I'm like, y'all do any fucking thing
51:19
because they didn't do anything with me here. And,
51:23
yes, Jimmy took the New York job because
51:25
they're my god. Then, you
51:27
know, also at the time, you
51:31
know, he got into obviously doing their music.
51:33
I know everybody thinks of Jim Johnston, but Jimmy
51:35
Hart had a lot to do with
51:38
the early days of WWF
51:40
music because besides Cindy
51:43
Loper and Dave Wolfy was the only guy that
51:45
was there at the time
51:47
that it actually legitimately been in the music
51:49
business. So
51:52
I don't think it would have worked at good for
51:54
either one of us if it hadn't happened that
51:56
way. Just
51:57
imagine Jim Cornett on the wrestling album.
52:01
Two to forty. Two
52:04
to forty. No. No.
52:06
No. No. Did that. You couldn't have taken that from
52:08
Jean. I was about to say, know,
52:10
I couldn't have deprived the populace
52:13
of Jean Oakland's performance in
52:15
that classic. Anyway,
52:20
and and I have you
52:22
educated yourself on what happened
52:24
to poor old crew, Ella Deville, yet?
52:27
I haven't because I had so much fun talking
52:29
to you about this realizing I knew very little about
52:31
it that I figured I would wait till we got on the air.
52:34
Okay. Well, and you
52:36
brought it up to me on a phone
52:38
conversation here yesterday because
52:41
This happened a couple of weeks ago, and we've been
52:43
talking about five hundred things
52:45
lately with all the programs and the biographies
52:48
and the pay per views and the strike and the
52:50
chaos, and the turmoil, and the blood, and the mud,
52:52
and the sweat, the tears. But
52:54
Sonya Deville got arrested
53:00
I guess it's been a couple weeks ago now. I
53:02
don't have the date and
53:04
charged with temporarily charged
53:06
with. I get they're either gonna be dropped
53:09
or soon to be whatever, possession of
53:11
a firearm. And
53:14
you brought this up to me say, you know what? We
53:16
didn't talk about this. And I said, well, you know she
53:18
got She got horn
53:20
swaddled, bamboozled, flim
53:22
flammed. Who's, Steven?
53:25
And you didn't know the particulars. You
53:27
thought the apparently that she was taken down
53:30
by members of
53:32
fucking a SWAT Team while she was waving
53:34
an AK forty seven around fucking crowded
53:37
shopping mall or something. didn't think it
53:39
was that. Well, you
53:41
you didn't know what in her fault and
53:43
that she would she was wrongfully
53:46
wrongfully subject to fucking persecution
53:49
and prosecution. So that sound like
53:51
Stephen p knew warming up. Hey, Sonya.
53:54
We give you the business on the program here,
53:56
but if you want somebody to take somebody
53:59
to
53:59
court, steven p new new law office
54:01
dot com, 886928084.
54:04
And that
54:05
wasn't when I was saying it all, but continue.
54:07
But nevertheless, so
54:10
if if you didn't you didn't look it
54:12
up because you want me to tell you. You want
54:14
me to be the bearer of this news to you
54:16
is what you're saying. I'm thinking about your
54:18
future. Jim Cornette, crime
54:20
reporter, has
54:22
a nice ring to it. Well,
54:25
here is what this is the story that
54:28
was reported from sources that I
54:30
believe. As I said, I
54:32
do not remember the exact date, and the
54:34
only thing that another thing I'm sketchy
54:36
on is I'm pretty sure she was
54:39
at this place because of just as a
54:41
private citizen, I don't think it was
54:43
related to a WWE event.
54:46
And she's not she's from New Jersey,
54:49
I believe. And what
54:51
what? Yes. Yes. So I'm
54:53
just saying, but it I mean, it she could have
54:55
been at an event in town, but it wasn't
54:57
at this particular location. But
54:59
I otherwise, she may have just been on personal
55:02
trip. But nevertheless, So
55:06
apparently, she
55:08
Valet parks her car at this hotel
55:11
casino where the fuck she's at, in
55:13
New Jersey. And when
55:15
she goes to get her car, as
55:18
sometimes happened, she can't find the
55:20
valet ticket. And
55:23
you know, at that point, if you
55:25
can identify your, you know, your
55:27
car or whatever, usually there's okay
55:29
and blah blah blah blah and go, whatever, but
55:32
This is the valet parking attendant,
55:34
since they didn't have the ticket,
55:38
went looking in the glove compartment
55:40
of the car to see what he could
55:42
determine, I didn't know
55:44
that they let the valet parking attendant
55:46
just rifle through your goddamn car
55:50
Even whether he had your ticket or not, but nevertheless,
55:53
he owns glove compartment, sees a
55:55
gun in it. And
55:57
then goes and calls the
56:00
hotel security who
56:02
apparently are tasked
56:04
with the job of doing
56:07
the security for this place and making
56:09
sure that everybody's only up and up. So
56:12
apparently, again, instead of going to
56:14
Sonya Deville and doing
56:17
any kind of preliminary investigation
56:20
on this, they determined they're gonna call
56:22
the real police. Who who's come?
56:27
And because she's got a permit to
56:29
carry the gun, but she lives in Florida,
56:31
but she's from, as you said, New Jersey.
56:34
So she's not in the state she
56:36
has the permit to carry it. They
56:38
arrest her. And
56:41
I and I know a lot of people are gonna
56:43
be So the ones screaming
56:45
around, oh, they shouldn't have all these good. No. Okay.
56:47
Numb nuts. Here's a good list in
56:50
context. This,
56:53
at any point, could have
56:55
been slowed down to a crawl.
56:58
If even the hotel security and others
57:00
say, excuse me, ma'am, you have a gun in your
57:04
car. Why do you ever and she
57:06
would have been allowed to say, well,
57:08
Don't you know who I am? I'm
57:11
Sonya Deville. I'm
57:13
on national television on the WWE.
57:17
And there's a guy in prison or
57:19
in a rubber room at the puzzle factory
57:21
somewhere right now because
57:23
he broke it in my home, tried to kidnap
57:25
me. And I have
57:27
a permit to carry this when I'm
57:30
out and about because I'm an attractive woman
57:32
on national TV. That
57:34
could somehow
57:36
my appearance provoked some of these fucking
57:39
middle cases It
57:41
should come after me with duct tape and
57:43
zip ties. That's
57:46
the perfect example of
57:49
why somebody should be allowed to
57:51
carry a handgun. If
57:55
if you need an AK forty seven to
57:57
fight off the goddamn stalkers and maybe
57:59
you're in the wrong lot of work. No,
58:02
I don't believe she's stockpiling ammunition
58:06
or joining a militia, and
58:09
I don't think that she is
58:11
probably gonna be a thee god damned next
58:14
attempted Trump overthrow of the federal
58:16
government. I
58:18
think it's okay for Sonya
58:20
DeVille to have a handgun in her car
58:22
when she's traveling either alone
58:25
or probably with her girlfriend
58:28
or fiance, now I guess, they she
58:30
proposed or whatever that was on Twitter
58:33
the other day. So
58:36
here's two women, one whom have
58:38
been the subject
58:40
of a fucking attempted
58:42
kidnapping that have legally
58:46
fulfilled requirements to carry a gun
58:48
at in in the state they live in,
58:50
but now they're somewhere else. They gotta be
58:52
arrested for that. Instead,
58:55
you know, and and if you go
58:57
to New Jersey for heaven's sake with the
58:59
type of people you'll find On
59:02
the streets there, you probably should have
59:04
some projection. Project break. But
59:06
nevertheless, that's the poster
59:08
girl This is the poster
59:10
girl for someone who should be allowed
59:12
to carry a gun places because there has been
59:14
a threat specifically to her
59:17
because of who she is and she's a recognizable
59:19
public figure, and
59:22
she didn't do anything to instigate it. And
59:24
she's gone through proper legal steps.
59:27
That's why they should be there. You wanna
59:29
fucking AK forty seven because you're overrun
59:31
with goddamn ground squirrels fuck you.
59:34
Or you're afraid that you and you got goddamn
59:36
delusional fucking fantasies, then
59:38
one of these days you're gonna have tell the government
59:41
fuck off and Do things right,
59:43
fuck you. But
59:45
Dysport has to go through all of this
59:47
because somebody along that process couldn't
59:50
figure out that, well, maybe we don't need to call the
59:52
cops. I mean, do do
59:55
Sonya Deville or her fiance?
59:57
Do they look like goddamn shook night?
1:00:01
Oh, Jesus cry. Or maybe they they
1:00:03
brought in a fucking twenty
1:00:05
kilos of cocaine strapped to
1:00:07
the goddamn underneath of the engine of
1:00:09
this car because of the
1:00:11
they they were obviously Pablo
1:00:14
Escobar's fucking, you know,
1:00:16
sisters. What the fuck? Nobody
1:00:19
could just say, hey, who are you guys? What's
1:00:21
going on here before
1:00:23
that? That's my issue with
1:00:25
the whole fucking thing.
1:00:28
Well, you shouldn't I mean, you know,
1:00:30
again, you do need to have your gun
1:00:32
license wherever you have it. I do think that's a good
1:00:34
thing. With that said, I think
1:00:37
if you are a celebrity that's constantly
1:00:39
on the
1:00:40
road, there probably
1:00:42
does need to be something there, especially if
1:00:44
you've had stalkers Some
1:00:46
kind of interstate law so that you can carry.
1:00:48
I would think if anyone's gonna be able to carry,
1:00:50
that's the person.
1:00:51
Yeah. And and it then again, she
1:00:53
didn't even have it in her purse, like, because she's
1:00:56
been in the public place. And I this I
1:00:58
don't know what time of day this was, but she's been
1:01:00
in the public place where she didn't feel
1:01:02
she needed it, because she's around a
1:01:04
fucking general public. But
1:01:07
she's keeping it to rental cars if she's driving
1:01:09
around at night or whatever the fuck. And
1:01:12
that's again, not
1:01:14
one of these fucking lunatic. You know?
1:01:18
The good guy with a gun group
1:01:20
that's always, oh, we need all these guns
1:01:23
because then we'll save the day when something
1:01:25
happens. They tweeted another one this past
1:01:28
week. This guy
1:01:30
walks up. It's a I don't know
1:01:32
what country it was in. They were not speaking English.
1:01:36
But it's just a random video. There's
1:01:38
bunch of people on the street. This
1:01:40
guy walks up with a gun and points it at
1:01:43
some woman I'm apparently
1:01:45
saying, give me whatever the fuck. And
1:01:48
this other woman pulls a gun out
1:01:50
It just shoots the guy. And
1:01:54
boom down he goes, pulls it out
1:01:56
of her purse. And everybody
1:01:58
said, see, that guy learned to listen.
1:02:01
Yeah. And the fucking like five
1:02:03
year old child that was standing two or
1:02:05
three feet to the fucking diagonal right
1:02:07
of this guy when he got shot, if
1:02:10
his rib cage hadn't to block the bullet,
1:02:12
she'd got a good little lesson too. And
1:02:14
the mother that was on to drag this child
1:02:16
away running where she
1:02:18
came her back of her head was lined up in
1:02:20
a good close proximity. You
1:02:23
fucking idiots. This is where, oh,
1:02:25
that guy's got a gun. So let's all fucking pull
1:02:27
a gun and shoot at him and half
1:02:29
the goddamn community. No.
1:02:32
If there's a legitimate reason and this certainly
1:02:34
sounds like it and she was being responsible
1:02:37
and that's what I understand there's no
1:02:39
heat on her from the office
1:02:41
because, you know, what fuck?
1:02:44
What gives I mean, but unless she said
1:02:47
You can identify the card by something
1:02:49
I have in the glove compartment. Why was why
1:02:51
were they going through the glove compartment? I
1:02:54
have no idea. And
1:02:57
because I've
1:02:58
I know that it happens regularly that
1:03:01
the valley Parkers will probably,
1:03:03
you know, sniff through whatever
1:03:05
the fuck they've got time to look
1:03:06
at, but it's not usually officially
1:03:09
validated and admitted
1:03:13
I went looking for a person. I found a gun.
1:03:15
Yeah. We
1:03:19
wish you good luck, Cruella, idiot.
1:03:21
And she plus she's so recognizable. She's
1:03:24
got such a striking look. Right?
1:03:27
She can't fucking hide. But
1:03:29
you know what the moral of this story is? Don't you,
1:03:31
Brian? Oh, no. I don't
1:03:33
know. The moral of this story is
1:03:35
stay away from these hotels sleep
1:03:37
at home. That's
1:03:40
you ain't gonna get any trouble if you're if
1:03:42
you're at home and if you
1:03:44
you ain't gonna lose your car because you're not
1:03:46
valet parking it. It's in your garage.
1:03:49
You know where it is. And
1:03:51
if you need to go to sleep, you know what kind
1:03:53
of mattress you're gonna lay your head down on.
1:03:55
You know, Back the last year that
1:03:57
I was on the road with ring of honor, you
1:04:00
know what was making the news, don't you?
1:04:03
Bad bugs. A bedbug
1:04:05
invasion across the country. In
1:04:08
big cities, in major hotel chains,
1:04:10
places that you would not imagine.
1:04:13
They had the bed bugs. Bed bugs
1:04:15
were running rampant. It was all over the TV
1:04:17
news and everything. You know where you're sure
1:04:20
to never have bed bugs? At
1:04:23
least bed bugs that you're not sure how they fucking
1:04:26
got there. And that's in
1:04:28
your own fucking home on your own mattress,
1:04:30
not in your own business. And
1:04:32
laying down your weary
1:04:34
head on a Helix Sleep product.
1:04:37
That's where you're not gonna get bed bugs.
1:04:39
Because anytime else you laced down
1:04:41
on something, somebody else has been laying on
1:04:44
on a regular basis. You don't know what's
1:04:46
gonna leave when you get up and and
1:04:48
it's gonna come with you. Alright.
1:04:50
Can you feel me Brian last? You know what
1:04:52
I mean? But I'll tell
1:04:54
you, on a Helix, you ain't gonna have that
1:04:56
problem? You know exact what's been on
1:04:58
that Helix, just you and
1:05:01
anybody that you approved to be on it
1:05:03
that has entered the circle of trust into
1:05:05
your home. That's why every home
1:05:07
in America needs a Helix Sleep mattress.
1:05:10
No bed bugs.
1:05:13
Well, you know, well, for the record,
1:05:16
you know, bed bugs are being brought into your house
1:05:18
with the brand new,
1:05:19
clean, and wonderful, and comfortable, healing sleep
1:05:21
mattress. What happens from that point
1:05:23
forward? It's
1:05:24
kinda more on you than anyone else.
1:05:28
Well, that's that's right. The bed bugs would
1:05:30
be on you if you were
1:05:32
If you were just a promiscuous mattress
1:05:35
user, if you just were willing to go out
1:05:37
and lay down on this brand of mattress
1:05:39
this night, and that brand of mattress the next
1:05:41
night, and that brand of mattress is sooner, later,
1:05:43
you're gonna pick something up, Brian. But
1:05:45
if you go home every night and
1:05:48
you stay faithful to your Helix
1:05:50
sleep mattress, well, you're not
1:05:52
gonna get any crabs or
1:05:54
cankers or soars or
1:05:56
cellular disruptions or anything
1:05:58
chewing on your earwigs? That's
1:06:00
a thing. You know, some of these hotel mattresses
1:06:03
you sleep on, Things can crawl
1:06:05
in your ear and eat your brain. That's
1:06:07
why every morning when you wake up in
1:06:10
a hotel, you're little bit stupider than
1:06:12
you were the day before. But
1:06:15
if you're a faithful, honest, upstanding,
1:06:18
forthright and monogamous
1:06:20
mattress user, And
1:06:23
every night you go home to
1:06:25
your beloved Helix Sleep mattress.
1:06:28
You know about the cooling technology that
1:06:30
it's gonna you up in. You
1:06:32
know that whatever firmness or
1:06:35
softness you desire, that's what that
1:06:37
healing sleep mattress is gonna provide
1:06:39
you and you know when
1:06:42
you laid down on it even if you're a
1:06:44
portly individual and you had to
1:06:46
get the big and tall brand of mattress
1:06:48
that it's not gonna cave in under
1:06:51
your cavernous weight. No. No.
1:06:53
No, ladies and gentlemen. That Helix

1:07:25

of bed bugs and earwigs and
1:10:26
things that infest you,
1:10:28
should we talk about AEW's television

program this past Wednesday night?
1:10:32
Was wondering where you were going with that. Yes, we
1:10:34
could do that. Well, the world of AEW
1:10:37
and I guess and I apparently a
1:10:39
trending again as we're talking
1:10:41
now because of something that I was
1:10:44
not even involved
1:10:45
in, but the AEW fans just hate
1:10:47
me to begin with. It's been about
1:10:49
a day or so, and yes, you are trending. You have
1:10:51
been trending you. Continue to
1:10:53
trend. You're a very trendy guy. Trendy
1:10:56
McTrenderson, so Rehaut
1:10:59
has
1:11:00
gotten off a Twitter.
1:11:04
I'd never tweeted her that I'm aware
1:11:06
of, and I didn't follow
1:11:07
her, so I didn't know about this, but I read
1:11:09
about it. From people tweeting
1:11:12
me saying, well, it's your fault. So
1:11:14
how did I how was I responsible for
1:11:17
Rehaut getting off of Twitter? From
1:11:21
the best of my knowledge, what happened was
1:11:23
Rejo deactivated her Twitter account?
1:11:27
And people right away or shouldn't
1:11:29
say people. A subsect
1:11:31
of fans
1:11:33
ran right away with the idea that she's
1:11:35
being harassed. Jim Cornett's
1:11:37
fans.
1:11:39
And they came to his conclusion because Rio
1:11:41
said nothing. They
1:11:43
came to his conclusion because in the past
1:11:45
Kenny Omega has complained about
1:11:48
fans in North America,
1:11:51
being vocal on Twitter with Oh,
1:11:53
the ones they broadcast their television program
1:11:55
too. The fans in North America where
1:11:57
their company is
1:11:58
located. That's right. So Rehaut deactivated
1:12:01
her to Twitter and people jumped to the conclusion
1:12:03
that it was because of you
1:12:06
and I've not seen
1:12:08
anything explicitly say that Riho
1:12:11
quit Twitter because English speaking
1:12:13
fans were harassing her. So
1:12:15
I hate to just jump the conclusions like
1:12:17
that. Unfortunately,
1:12:19
a lot of people did.
1:12:22
And again, this is so
1:12:25
someone that they have never met
1:12:28
gets off a Twitter. And
1:12:30
this is a reason for them to
1:12:34
have violent fantasies of my immediate
1:12:37
death. The one that The one
1:12:39
got tweeted, and then some people reported
1:12:41
him, I guess, it it took it down or it violated
1:12:44
policies or whatever. I hope Jim Cornett and
1:12:46
all of his family die a horrible Grizzly
1:12:48
death. Oh, no. It was all the
1:12:49
listeners. It was anyone who's a
1:12:51
fan of all
1:12:51
his listeners. We should all perish
1:12:54
because -- Oh. -- Rehaut got off Twitter.
1:12:56
Because she got a gun.
1:12:59
She got off Twitter. She got off Twitter.
1:13:01
She's going to twitch maybe because she's gonna
1:13:03
twitch instead of Twitter. Who gives a
1:13:05
shit? Are you
1:13:07
serious? She is a grown
1:13:10
woman. Have we established she's in her
1:13:12
thirties? She's
1:13:13
not in her certain how old did you say
1:13:16
that? We say that she's like thirty, thirty one,
1:13:18
thirty two. Is she how old is
1:13:19
she? Hold
1:13:20
on. No. I think she's in her twenties. Riho
1:13:22
is twenty five years old. Okay. She's
1:13:24
twenty five years old then. She just she's
1:13:26
got miles on her.
1:13:28
She is If if the
1:13:31
headline was Ruho has
1:13:33
been deprived of food or
1:13:37
Ruho is Ibetic, and then
1:13:39
this her insulin is being withheld.
1:13:41
Or RIIO is in the middle of heat
1:13:43
wave and has no electricity. That
1:13:47
and and it's all the fault of those
1:13:49
Cornette fans. Well, you might have something
1:13:52
to hang your hat on there. But
1:13:54
she got off Twitter. She's
1:13:56
an adult with
1:13:59
a high paying job that she's not particularly
1:14:01
good at. I think she'll
1:14:04
be just fine. And
1:14:06
as we mentioned last week on the program, it's
1:14:09
at this point, not
1:14:11
even her fault. It's
1:14:13
theirs for thinking
1:14:16
that this would get over for
1:14:18
telling her that she's a great professional
1:14:20
wrestler because of the culture
1:14:23
they have in Japan that has these
1:14:26
young girl doing all these weird
1:14:28
things that they got no business doing because it
1:14:30
looks ridiculous when they do it. So
1:14:36
And and it's not like it's not did I
1:14:38
invent this line of
1:14:40
thinking that If I'm watching professional
1:14:42
wrestling, why do I want to see a
1:14:45
four foot ten ninety pound
1:14:47
girl dressed in Taffeta?
1:14:50
No. But if anyone says something
1:14:52
that you may have said at any point on any
1:14:54
show at any point in history,
1:14:56
It gets sent back to you. They're repeating Jim
1:14:58
Cornette, so obviously Jim Cornett's the blame
1:15:01
for all of this. Is it my
1:15:04
fault just because I'm the only person anybody
1:15:06
knows? Well, it is a
1:15:08
very popular series of shows we do here,
1:15:10
but a couple things. One, You know what
1:15:12
I heard this news, I
1:15:14
had two thoughts. One was
1:15:16
of course Hana Chemura
1:15:18
who passed away
1:15:20
via suicide after being harassed
1:15:22
by Japanese
1:15:24
I don't
1:15:24
even think it was wrestling fan. Was it wrestling fans
1:15:26
or just Japanese fans of reality TV?
1:15:29
It was the but here's the thing
1:15:31
they have, not to get
1:15:33
on a soapbox here.
1:15:35
But they have these girls not only do they
1:15:37
do the wrestling thing with the Joe Xi's,
1:15:39
with the little small girls, and the underage
1:15:42
girls, with the rest that we've seen, the
1:15:45
video footage. But they
1:15:47
also have the what do they call them the idol
1:15:49
bands? Where they have them sing
1:15:53
and make pop stars out of them.
1:15:55
We were talking about the monkeys a little while ago.
1:15:58
It's not necessarily that they have musical
1:16:00
talent, but that they're cute. Young
1:16:03
girls. That's she was on a reality show,
1:16:05
Hana Kumar. That's what Yes. And
1:16:07
and then they have reality TV
1:16:09
shows where they put these either the
1:16:11
pop vitals or the whatever on the and
1:16:14
she did some innocuous thing
1:16:17
to anybody in the American culture
1:16:19
or whatever, but it was
1:16:22
something that they thought badly
1:16:24
of over there and harassed
1:16:27
her about it. The fans this reality show
1:16:29
on Twitter and she committed suicide, which
1:16:32
is horrible. And that's again,
1:16:34
that's why I
1:16:36
maintain that some people do
1:16:38
not should not
1:16:40
be public figures, and
1:16:43
it doesn't just it If
1:16:47
rehoes a twenty five year old adult
1:16:49
making six figures literally
1:16:51
working part time, for
1:16:54
AEW plus whatever the fuck else.
1:16:58
And she has to get off Twitter. It's
1:17:00
not like giving up food. Or
1:17:02
fucking or or or goddamn
1:17:05
or, you know, dialysis. But
1:17:07
at the same time, some people
1:17:10
don't if they you
1:17:12
can't be a public figure and
1:17:15
expect everybody to love you and say good
1:17:17
things. And as we've known with Twitter, This
1:17:20
has been the opportunity for every
1:17:22
asshole that's ever existed now to be able
1:17:24
to say shit to people that
1:17:26
they would have never been able to even talk to or
1:17:28
get near before And you
1:17:30
gotta expect that. And if
1:17:32
you don't want to block them. I
1:17:35
love to block people. Because
1:17:38
it's it's a less effort than wiping
1:17:40
dog shit off my shoe. You say something
1:17:42
smart aleck to me. You're gonna get blocked if
1:17:44
I see it in a nap time. But
1:17:47
some people can't be public
1:17:49
personalities.
1:17:51
But again, even you now are doing what other
1:17:53
people are doing, you're assuming the reason
1:17:56
why this person who gave no reason
1:17:58
deactivated
1:17:59
No. I was talking about I was talking about
1:18:01
Hana Kameura. Hana Kimura.
1:18:03
Hana Kimura. Goddamn it. I can't say it
1:18:05
now. But yes. But in in I'm
1:18:08
not of whatever rio. So she got off
1:18:10
Twitter. The people are mad that
1:18:13
she had to get off Twitter. Like, that is depriving
1:18:16
her of some major portion of her fucking
1:18:18
life. And why why
1:18:20
would she be upset about it? If
1:18:22
she didn't wanna put up with people fucking
1:18:25
saying shit about her on Twitter than she got
1:18:27
off of Twitter or for whatever reason
1:18:29
she got off of
1:18:29
Twitter. Yeah. What's her home
1:18:32
life like? For anyone wants to jump
1:18:34
to assumptions. Is real allowed to leave the house
1:18:36
when she's in America? Is real allowed
1:18:38
to just talk to anyone backstage? Without
1:18:41
Kenny's permission? So before
1:18:43
anyone jumps to conclusions about why RIIO
1:18:46
may have gotten on Twitter, let's examine everything.
1:18:49
But let me go back a step, Jim. I
1:18:52
don't think anyone should be harassing ReHo
1:18:54
or anyone on Twitter. If someone
1:18:56
gives you a problem, Give them
1:18:58
a problem back and give them a problem a
1:19:00
lot harder. But if no one's giving me a
1:19:02
problem, mind your own business. That doesn't
1:19:04
mean you can't critique something on TV, that
1:19:07
you're watching. You can.
1:19:10
But no one should be harassing ReHo or
1:19:13
anyone
1:19:13
else. But for these fans
1:19:16
and again, it's a small subset of fans.
1:19:19
They're harassing me. That's
1:19:21
what I'm about to say. There's a mini
1:19:23
wrestling audience. They're
1:19:25
straight, they're gay, they're employed,
1:19:27
they live in a basement, there's a mini
1:19:29
audience that
1:19:32
are miserable and are just looking to
1:19:34
take things down and take things out on other
1:19:36
things. And you're obviously a big
1:19:38
target for AEW fans. With
1:19:40
this rehaut thing, listen,
1:19:43
I don't know what kind of again,
1:19:45
from English speaking fans, I don't know what she's reading
1:19:47
on English speaking Twitter. I just literally
1:19:49
don't know. And I don't know
1:19:51
what kind of harassment she is or isn't getting
1:19:53
on there. Jim and I both
1:19:56
get Lots of things from
1:19:58
people who declare themselves AW fans
1:20:01
wishing us death, wishing
1:20:03
harm to our families, In this
1:20:05
case that you talked about
1:20:06
earlier, wishing harm to the listeners,
1:20:09
we
1:20:09
get this all the time. But you know what
1:20:11
happens? We get the time. And you know, like,
1:20:14
that it just stop what bothers me because it's
1:20:16
like, if Jim Cornette, I said this in
1:20:18
the Culture Cornett Facebook group. If
1:20:20
Jim Cornett, deactivated
1:20:22
his Twitter tomorrow
1:20:24
because of the most recent
1:20:26
I don't even know you called a death threatening wish
1:20:28
of harm, that came in,
1:20:31
which just came in this morning. If that
1:20:33
caused him to deactivate his Twitter, would
1:20:36
this conversation be flipped the other way?
1:20:38
That AEW fans are out of control. That
1:20:40
AEW is at responsibility for
1:20:42
these nutcase fans that
1:20:44
can't take criticism of their product. It's
1:20:47
a double standard. It's
1:20:49
ridiculous. And again, until
1:20:51
Rio comes out and says
1:20:53
something, don't assume anything.
1:20:56
Well, besides that, I've never tweeted RIIO
1:20:59
to begin with. I've never told anybody
1:21:01
to tweet RIIO to begin with.
1:21:04
And honestly, I could
1:21:06
see where you would come off like an asshole if
1:21:09
Johnny dipshit in Des Moines Said
1:21:12
the same thing about Rehaut's wrestling that
1:21:14
I do, because Johnny
1:21:16
dipshit and Des Moines is not
1:21:18
a fucking Nearly goddamn
1:21:21
forty five year fucking veteran of
1:21:23
being involved in this business or one of
1:21:25
the most successful track records at almost
1:21:27
everything in it. So I get an opinion
1:21:29
about her wrestling. Is she a good
1:21:31
cook? I don't fucking know. Not
1:21:33
my goddamn wheelhouse as
1:21:35
they say. I don't know anything
1:21:37
else about her personal life or what her
1:21:39
interests are, hobbies, or talents, but
1:21:43
her wrestling ain't gonna cut it. And
1:21:45
that's what I'm qualified to comment on.
1:21:50
But that's the thing. It's like the idea that
1:21:52
you're not allowed And again, I think there probably
1:21:54
are because there are for us. I'm basing
1:21:56
it on what we see, the feedback we see, and you see
1:21:58
it a lot worse than me. There
1:22:01
are crazy fans who are
1:22:03
gonna say crazy things and act in crazy ways
1:22:05
and you block them, you move on with your life. If
1:22:07
it gets crazy enough, you turn it over to the
1:22:09
police. That's it. Watch a hands
1:22:11
of it. No one should be harassing
1:22:14
Rehoe But if
1:22:16
that's really the reason she deactivated Twitter,
1:22:18
I wanna hear that because everyone's
1:22:20
jumping to the assumption that it's Jim Cornette fans.
1:22:23
And trust me, whether it's fans of
1:22:26
AEW or fans of these individual wrestlers,
1:22:28
we get it. We get it as bad
1:22:30
as anyone could get
1:22:31
it. So give me a break. Well, and besides
1:22:33
that again, it's I know I'm
1:22:35
the most well known personality involved
1:22:38
in wrestling podcasting today.
1:22:41
So everybody just naturally assumes
1:22:44
that I come up with everything
1:22:46
first, but it's not a stretch
1:22:48
to think that many wrestling fans,
1:22:50
especially fans
1:22:52
of the territories and or
1:22:56
Legitimate professional wrestling would
1:22:58
have the same basic
1:23:01
impression of miss
1:23:03
Rivo that I have. And the
1:23:05
whole joshy
1:23:07
fetish that Kenny has foisted off
1:23:09
on that company and wasted millions of dollars
1:23:12
of their money and payroll and trans rotation
1:23:14
over a period of time. But as far as anybody who
1:23:16
wishes me any harm, you
1:23:18
know what mama quartet
1:23:20
used to say, Oh, no. Wish
1:23:23
it in one hand and shit in the other one and
1:23:25
see which one fills up
1:23:26
first. You know what
1:23:29
else mama used to say? What's
1:23:31
that? Get a job, get off the computer, and
1:23:33
get your Dick
1:23:34
sucked. I don't remember
1:23:36
her ever say she's that
1:23:37
wasn't actually
1:23:39
She never even had to say the
1:23:41
first one because I had a job by the time
1:23:44
I was legally old enough to
1:23:45
have a job. Then with you, it was you're working
1:23:47
too much. Actually, she did
1:23:49
say that couple times, but nevertheless, that
1:23:52
was an industrious teenager. Let's get
1:23:54
into the program. Because I'm
1:23:57
gonna try to help some people, some
1:23:59
innocent victims that
1:24:03
appeared on this program, I'm gonna give some
1:24:05
advice to them, the wrestlers, the
1:24:07
poor beleaguered wrestlers, that maybe they
1:24:09
can take under
1:24:11
advisement since this program's not doing
1:24:13
anything for him. And I'm gonna
1:24:16
I'm gonna try not to just Scream
1:24:19
and chewed nails for two hours. So
1:24:22
I will say at the top of the program. That
1:24:26
this is a commentary and then I
1:24:28
will move on as quickly as possible and
1:24:30
not beat the dead horse. But
1:24:33
this is weeks now that
1:24:35
Tony Khan has started the program.
1:24:39
With an a and p championship match
1:24:41
involving the company mascot, our
1:24:44
little puppy pockets. Because
1:24:48
one time, he did
1:24:50
one good rating on a show.
1:24:55
Despite every evidence to the contrary
1:24:57
of every other program, they kept the
1:24:59
rating through one fucking Television
1:25:02
program with pockets on first, so he
1:25:04
gives it to us a month straight. Why
1:25:06
didn't he learn anything from all the viewers
1:25:09
that the EVPs lost every
1:25:11
week for two months. He
1:25:15
didn't adjust because of those numbers,
1:25:17
but he adjust because he gets a fluke.
1:25:19
So The
1:25:22
opening match was pockets in j lethal
1:25:24
and it's not just sad. It's a shame.
1:25:27
That Jay lethal with the talent
1:25:30
and experience, the
1:25:33
qualities that he brings to
1:25:35
the table as a wrestler, as an employee,
1:25:37
as a person, that
1:25:40
he doesn't have the WWE after
1:25:42
him for big contract, the I
1:25:45
was surprised we were able to sign him
1:25:47
in Ring of Honor in twenty twelve. TNA
1:25:49
was fucking foolish enough to let his contract
1:25:52
go. And I couldn't believe they didn't want
1:25:54
him then. And
1:25:56
I'm it's a shame the only other
1:25:59
national TV option is
1:26:02
a company that has no idea how to
1:26:04
use him and he's reduced to having to
1:26:06
cooperate with and getting stuck up
1:26:08
by The company mascot.
1:26:13
It's embarrassing to the wrestling business
1:26:15
in general, Tony's fixation with
1:26:17
this fucking guy. But
1:26:19
now it's criminal misuse of good talent
1:26:22
that has to go along with this. And
1:26:25
you know Jay has to be frustrated rated. He's
1:26:27
capable of and deserves better
1:26:29
than this. But that's, you
1:26:32
know, I'm
1:26:36
just I'm at a loss for words. And
1:26:38
and that's why I say if you're a young wrestler,
1:26:41
Who has it mentally and you think
1:26:43
you've got talent and believe you got a shot
1:26:46
your serious match business? Do
1:26:48
you want to take a chance now Vince
1:26:51
is gone supposedly from creative
1:26:53
at least, but do you wanna take a chance on
1:26:56
triple h, making you look like a goof
1:26:58
in NXT? Or AEW,
1:27:01
if you might be humiliated on national
1:27:04
television having to put over the puppy.
1:27:08
And again,
1:27:10
you know, and
1:27:10
there's wonders for Adam Cole.
1:27:13
Boom. God. Well, he'll
1:27:15
be fantastically over. When
1:27:18
he comes back, Adam Cole, because of
1:27:20
his triumph over the concussion issue,
1:27:23
If he hadn't had a concussion issue right
1:27:25
now, he wouldn't be able to sell pussy
1:27:27
on a troop train much less a wrestling ticket
1:27:29
because the way he was going. And
1:27:34
again, with Jay here, it just it's
1:27:37
but it's not at this point, Even
1:27:40
though goofball here was trying,
1:27:43
he wrestled this week for the most
1:27:45
part, You
1:27:47
know, what that tells you is anybody can
1:27:49
do this? He he comes out and the
1:27:51
Putin gang comes out with him from the start.
1:27:54
It looks like a fucking Saturday
1:27:56
Night Live parity. He
1:27:59
comes out with his fucking outfit,
1:28:02
and there's muff and top and
1:28:05
cupcake, whoever the fuck of the pudding
1:28:07
gang, and Dan How's it made
1:28:09
up? And then
1:28:11
they wish him well and go to the back. How
1:28:13
do you think that Trenton muffin top feel
1:28:16
when the biggest joke wrestler in the business
1:28:18
is on TV and their careers are so
1:28:21
More abundant that they're
1:28:23
just the clowns that seem often and go back
1:28:25
to the back? Or they like the checks?
1:28:28
But, anyway, and lethal comes
1:28:30
out and he's got Jeff and
1:28:33
Sanjay and Zippy and the referee's come out
1:28:35
to send them back. And did you see Aubrey
1:28:37
dead. Shoving guys
1:28:39
and pointing wildly and sticking
1:28:41
her ass out for emphasis. And
1:28:44
I was afraid she was gonna trample somebody.
1:28:48
And so she's showing off. And
1:28:50
then they made sure to remind us it's one
1:28:52
and one. This is their third match,
1:28:54
lethal and pockets. And so
1:28:56
they remind us that already pockets
1:29:00
his beating this guy. And
1:29:03
the announcer By the way,
1:29:05
did you hear when the announcer audio got piped
1:29:07
into the arena and everybody would ship themselves?
1:29:10
And all the way out with the
1:29:11
puck,
1:29:11
it was the highlight of the show. You didn't hear that.
1:29:13
That was the best part of this entire program.
1:29:16
So pockets is twenty two and
1:29:18
one. In AEW
1:29:20
and fourteen wins straight. Can
1:29:24
you imagine if a talent was
1:29:26
given that push? And
1:29:30
so anyway, they that's a thing. In
1:29:32
in this one, pockets tried to wrestle because,
1:29:35
you know, he used to do it in Chikara. If
1:29:39
he doesn't wrestle, it's the
1:29:41
phony gimmick that makes business look
1:29:43
like shit. And if he does
1:29:45
wrestle, then it proves that any bland,
1:29:47
unimpressive skinny goofball in
1:29:50
BlueJeans can do this so it devalues
1:29:52
the business. This
1:29:55
guy would never this guy would never
1:29:58
be looked at seriously in any
1:30:00
type of major promotion I
1:30:02
don't know that we would have accepted him in the
1:30:04
OVW training program. And
1:30:06
Tony thinks he's cute. So
1:30:12
they have the match. It went on too long.
1:30:16
And then finally, pockets
1:30:19
hit Roman Reigns' finish, 123,
1:30:21
and beat Jay lethal except he didn't hit it
1:30:23
because the punch missed. For
1:30:27
one thing, but then he
1:30:30
beat jade lethal 123
1:30:32
on national television. God
1:30:35
damn it. And then Jeff Jerrod
1:30:37
jumped in from behind and laid pockets out
1:30:39
with the stroke and broke the guitar over
1:30:41
his knee and got a ton of heat because
1:30:43
people in the building, they
1:30:45
love this fucking clown. But
1:30:49
we were twenty two minutes into this program
1:30:51
by the time that was done. And
1:30:53
Unfortunately, it will be announced later
1:30:56
on that next week, and
1:30:59
we'll get to what Tony
1:31:01
said in how he said it, but next week,
1:31:03
it's gonna be Jeff versus pockets.
1:31:07
Except I
1:31:09
believes I smell a title change
1:31:13
because I believes that I smell that
1:31:15
Jeff Jarrett wouldn't work with his motherfucker if
1:31:17
he was gonna do a job for him. Now
1:31:21
that I've said that -- Yes, he would. -- yes, he would.
1:31:23
He he would do anything. No.
1:31:27
This is why I believe that
1:31:29
they've given The
1:31:32
clown, three or four weeks, wins
1:31:34
on television, because
1:31:36
some way or another, Jeff sees
1:31:38
a way to get
1:31:40
some fucking heat off this guy and
1:31:43
work with somebody that means something. That's
1:31:46
what I'm thinking. And he has pitched it
1:31:48
to Tony who was probably
1:31:50
impressed that he actually had a wrestling
1:31:52
angle pitched to him that went three weeks
1:31:54
and ended up with being able to
1:31:56
use the fucking goofball
1:31:59
for some productive reason. But, anyway,
1:32:01
I I don't see Jeff Jarrett doing
1:32:03
a job
1:32:05
this early as he's coming to company for
1:32:07
this fucking guy. We'll
1:32:09
see what happens. As where Jeff's
1:32:11
positioned on these shows, he's not anything special.
1:32:14
I could see him doing the job
1:32:15
there. Tony will Well, then
1:32:17
then they completely lost their fucking
1:32:19
minds then because then that would be what five
1:32:22
weeks in a row that we've had to suffer through this
1:32:24
for no payoff. Just stroking
1:32:26
his guys dick, putting him over,
1:32:29
he'll and he'll never go anywhere and he'll never
1:32:31
mean anything. This
1:32:35
I promise you, the only people that
1:32:38
wanna see this fucking guy are the people that
1:32:40
are already watching. He will not
1:32:42
bring you a goddamn soul to
1:32:44
the table that's not already there.
1:32:48
Nevertheless, speaking of people that aren't
1:32:50
already there, So
1:32:54
Wardlow got his fucking rental car
1:32:56
broken into and all of his gear, including
1:32:59
the title belt stolen. He's the
1:33:01
TNT champion. Right? That's his.
1:33:04
Right? I'm actually
1:33:06
I'm trying to confirm that. Yes. I can't
1:33:08
remember one title from another cursor,
1:33:10
so many of them. So they've
1:33:13
covered that as why he's can't
1:33:15
be dressed and there's no belt later in the program.
1:33:19
And then Hobbes was with Renee
1:33:21
and He's got a
1:33:23
good delivery. He needs a little bit of bass
1:33:25
in his voice. I'm talking about conviction,
1:33:27
a little bit more conventional, maybe a little deeper
1:33:30
too, but little bit more conviction. Little
1:33:32
bit more confidence there,
1:33:34
but he's got, again,
1:33:37
all the tools. So
1:33:39
then here comes Ricky Starks.
1:33:41
Brian, here's a question. The
1:33:43
people love him. The
1:33:46
people are bringing a house down when he comes
1:33:48
out. The same thing
1:33:50
as they do for pockets, But
1:33:53
this guy has a chance to actually bring
1:33:55
normal people into watching this program.
1:33:59
Why isn't he twenty two and one
1:34:01
with fourteen straight?
1:34:05
I've seen Ricky Starks get beat like
1:34:07
a government mule over the past six months
1:34:09
because
1:34:09
he wasn't Tony's favorite.
1:34:11
He didn't you know what I mean? Because Tony didn't dress
1:34:13
up like Ricky Starks for Halloween. That's
1:34:16
the difference between getting beat
1:34:18
like a red headed step child every week
1:34:20
and be in twenty two and one
1:34:22
with fourteen straight? So
1:34:27
he says, what's next after Jericho?
1:34:31
That's what everybody's asking, and that's what
1:34:33
everybody's talking about. And
1:34:35
then he says, I'm
1:34:38
not sure. And
1:34:40
the only other thing he's able to get
1:34:43
out is It's not
1:34:45
necessarily what I'm gonna do next,
1:34:47
but where I'm gonna go next. And
1:34:51
then Music interrupting,
1:34:53
but let's unpack this for a second
1:34:55
before we get to the next part of this fiasco.
1:34:59
Why would you have a baby face
1:35:01
come out after he's beat Chris Jericho
1:35:03
now twice? And they still
1:35:05
kinda worked it to where I
1:35:08
don't know if he's better off for it.
1:35:11
But even what's next? I'm not sure.
1:35:14
And then say it's not where I'm gonna
1:35:16
go, but what I'm gonna do, but where I'm gonna
1:35:18
go, which everybody thinks that means he's
1:35:21
gonna leave AEW.
1:35:24
That would be the only reason you would drop that
1:35:26
hint or that say that line
1:35:29
and enough of
1:35:29
that. You can't keep doing that.
1:35:32
Oh, wait.
1:35:32
You're such a big star here. I'm gonna
1:35:34
leave. Yeah. Because it's it's
1:35:36
and it's because it's happened, and it probably
1:35:38
happened again.
1:35:41
But why would that be why
1:35:44
would he be I don't understand,
1:35:46
and I know somebody's gonna say, well, wait till a story
1:35:48
play at. No. You get the impression from
1:35:50
this guy that he's not happy
1:35:52
where he asked he was to get the fuck out. And
1:35:55
maybe they don't see the TV in two or three
1:35:57
weeks or the YouTube episode where you
1:35:59
played nurse, but are they playing up the
1:36:01
idea that he was caught with Cody at the Royal Rumble?
1:36:04
Who knows? But then
1:36:06
but then most people don't know that.
1:36:10
So
1:36:11
is this is this the worst
1:36:14
I mean, that's I shouldn't say that because it takes it
1:36:16
a lot. But for AW, Have they ever done
1:36:18
a worse job of following up a pay per view
1:36:20
with a dynamite? For everyone
1:36:22
that was involved with that pay per view, Dynamite
1:36:25
did nothing to help
1:36:26
anyone. They they blur
1:36:28
in my mind, but, I mean, this has to be
1:36:30
one of the stellar examples
1:36:33
of not. But
1:36:35
as soon as he said that, which had only been
1:36:37
thirty seconds or whatever, music and
1:36:39
the bullet club logo showed
1:36:41
up on the screen. And
1:36:44
then, into the ring from behind
1:36:46
and attacking Ricky Starks is the
1:36:48
incomparable juice Robinson. Who
1:36:52
we have seen? Whoa.
1:36:55
It's three times on TV about
1:36:57
six or eight months
1:36:58
ago? Was it last
1:37:00
summer? We
1:37:01
may have seen him three or four times over
1:37:04
two years, including last
1:37:06
We
1:37:06
had an army to ever three or four times.
1:37:09
Yeah.
1:37:10
And some and he hits in street clothes
1:37:12
and, like, everybody in the world is supposed
1:37:14
to know who this fucking guy is. And they announced,
1:37:16
oh, it's Hughes Robinson. We haven't seen I think
1:37:18
they even said we haven't seen him in a while.
1:37:20
Thank God, accused the guy with a big image
1:37:22
on the screen. So
1:37:25
it was it was
1:37:27
the same angle as ten minutes
1:37:29
beforehand where a guy jumps the ring
1:37:31
and fucking, you know, gets jumped.
1:37:34
And from behind and
1:37:38
he hits a reverse DDT
1:37:40
on Starks that looked got a wicked
1:37:43
and stood over him. So Stark's got
1:37:45
a thirty second promo and
1:37:48
then was laid out by a guy that
1:37:50
most people have no fucking clue the
1:37:52
fuck he is. Unless
1:37:55
you watch New Japan, which
1:37:58
I believe their ratings on access
1:38:00
were what? You know, ninety or a hundred thousand
1:38:02
people as opposed to six or seven
1:38:05
or eight hundred thousand. I don't even think it was
1:38:07
that high. And he's been
1:38:09
on again, he's been off TV
1:38:11
for six months. Suddenly, he comes
1:38:12
in, ladies fucking gay. You
1:38:14
know what, though? You know what, couple of things I thought about
1:38:16
here. One, as soon as you see that bullet club
1:38:19
sign, just grown. They
1:38:21
were kind of lame for years,
1:38:23
but especially now no one wants to
1:38:25
see that. Secondly, last
1:38:29
year, you know, things were kinda
1:38:31
looking alright. Not great, but
1:38:33
punk segments were good. Danielsen was
1:38:36
Just coming off pretty good interesting
1:38:38
period of time, FDR, things
1:38:41
were happening. Then the TV
1:38:43
went to complete shit because they were building up
1:38:45
that new Japan crossover event, Forbidden
1:38:47
Door. That's
1:38:48
right. Even before the all out scrum,
1:38:50
TV for month or six weeks was
1:38:53
dismal. Didn't that start in the spring? Is
1:38:55
that gonna start again? I mean, the TV's been awful
1:38:57
now, so TV's worse now than it was a year
1:38:59
ago. Are they gonna now insert all this
1:39:01
new Japan stuff into the show again? Well,
1:39:05
they're inserting as much as they can possibly
1:39:07
insert. This looks like a gate fetish
1:39:10
video. For wrestling with
1:39:12
all the insertions there. So
1:39:15
speaking of being inserted, They
1:39:18
go back to Tony Shmani with Wardlow
1:39:22
who was making fun of losing
1:39:24
his gearies wearing FTR shirt But
1:39:27
again, he's
1:39:30
got he had decent delivery
1:39:32
here, but the material He
1:39:34
challenged hub. They're already working.
1:39:37
He is already wrestling powerhouse hubs
1:39:39
for the title in the main
1:39:41
event of the television program
1:39:44
But now he challenges
1:39:47
him to make it a false count
1:39:49
anywhere anything goes
1:39:51
match. Lazy
1:39:54
booking. Why?
1:39:56
How about the reasoning
1:39:57
though? Since I have no clothes
1:39:59
that someone stole my ear, why don't we just make a
1:40:01
false card? Yeah. I can't And
1:40:04
then it would be how about a street fight?
1:40:06
Come dressed as you are, and it would happen
1:40:08
in the red that doesn't oh my god.
1:40:13
So now, he's handicapped these
1:40:15
poor young fellows. And this is a good
1:40:17
thing, by the
1:40:18
way. Tony will get another belt. Tony probably
1:40:20
has seven other belts already there to
1:40:22
Oh, no. He said he said he does.
1:40:24
Yeah. He did an interview saying that he's
1:40:26
already had other belts made. He's waiting
1:40:28
for the chance to introduce him.
1:40:30
Yeah. So that and then remember Wardwell
1:40:32
wore that Swimsuit out glittered
1:40:34
at the pay per
1:40:35
view. Whatever causes him to get new gear,
1:40:37
I'm all for that. Alright.
1:40:41
But moving on, because
1:40:43
you know the question in everybody's mind, the
1:40:45
burning question of the day. Why, Ruby?
1:40:48
Why? Renee
1:40:51
Moxley Good was in the ring with
1:40:53
Ruby Soso and by Sariah and
1:40:55
Storm now they're doing a deal where they come out
1:40:57
to the entrance for moral support also
1:40:59
and then see her off. And then now,
1:41:02
obviously, they come out
1:41:04
for the entrance if she gets in trouble or
1:41:06
after to the match, you know you're gonna see him.
1:41:11
So Ruby's promo, you
1:41:13
all created this monster. I thought Hobbes
1:41:16
was using that three months
1:41:17
ago.
1:41:20
It it looks better on I know Ruby
1:41:23
When she first gets up in the morning before makeup,
1:41:25
she may look like a monster,
1:41:27
but Hobbs looks like a fucking monster.
1:41:30
I'm not scared of Ruby so so.
1:41:34
But her story is that people
1:41:36
booed her against Brit
1:41:39
Baker, and then against Chris Stacklander,
1:41:41
how long ago was that?
1:41:44
Because she's been out injured again for six
1:41:47
months. But a great way to tease
1:41:49
her come back, just randomly bring up her name.
1:41:51
She got to pop too, randomly bring up her name
1:41:53
in the middle of a
1:41:54
promo. Well, also, she's from they're still in
1:41:56
California. They can't AEW,
1:41:59
the whole roster is still in California. They can't afford
1:42:01
the bus fare. You get to fuck out. They
1:42:03
can't get as far as goddamn needles.
1:42:07
So she got boot against stratlander last
1:42:09
year, I guess. And then
1:42:11
they boot her when Hater Hater because
1:42:13
that's when Hater was getting to be really
1:42:16
popular and they oh,
1:42:18
fuck it. They lost the opportunity turn her on
1:42:20
Brit. And then Ruby says
1:42:22
the fat mouth breathing neck beard
1:42:25
trolls turned on
1:42:26
Sariah.
1:42:29
Well, she got a point there. Well,
1:42:31
no. But she didn't she say that they really wanted Sarai
1:42:33
to make a comeback? Who did? I didn't
1:42:35
want any of this on the
1:42:36
show. I didn't want this promo on the show.
1:42:40
These are the sitoffs that kill the show
1:42:42
in all honesty. In all
1:42:44
honesty, Ruby Soso
1:42:47
did a hell of a promo here
1:42:49
even but the whole story is a fucking
1:42:51
mess. She did A
1:42:54
great job with crap material
1:42:56
and nobody cares, but
1:42:58
she did she did a good job with it.
1:43:02
Now take that for, you know,
1:43:04
what it's worth. Because I wrote
1:43:06
Ruby is doing a heck of a promo even though
1:43:08
this whole thing is a fucking mess. And
1:43:11
then she called out her opponent blue
1:43:13
sky, and here came blue sky. Sky
1:43:16
blue. That's what I said.
1:43:19
And they had a match, and Ruby beat her up,
1:43:21
and it went through a break, and then it
1:43:23
came back as she won. And
1:43:25
then Storm and Sariah came back down
1:43:28
to paint. Sky Blue,
1:43:30
green. Orange,
1:43:33
you glad I said that? And
1:43:36
then here comes Come on.
1:43:38
Here comes Willo Nightingale out
1:43:41
by herself. There's three heels
1:43:43
in a ring. She hits the ring by herself page
1:43:45
and or page Sariah and
1:43:47
Storm bailout. And
1:43:50
Willow's talking to Ruby because they used to
1:43:52
be friends. And then the heels that
1:43:54
bailed out, walked around the ring, and just
1:43:56
came in behind. So they
1:43:58
jumped willow from behind. Three
1:44:01
jumped from behind three matches in a row,
1:44:04
and then they painted both of them. But I
1:44:06
did they didn't They just kind of
1:44:08
painted lines on them. Didn't they did they
1:44:10
paint letters or did one get the down stroke
1:44:12
of l and the other one got the
1:44:14
sideways? Yeah. I mean, it's an l, so it's easy
1:44:16
to do.
1:44:18
Did you understand or or
1:44:21
was there a reason why this needed to
1:44:23
take up what seemed like between fifteen and
1:44:25
twenty minutes television
1:44:26
time. There's no reason why any of this should be on
1:44:28
the show. There's no reason why Tony should have given
1:44:30
Sarrea that contract. There's no reason why the women's
1:44:33
division should be getting the time it's getting considering
1:44:35
state of it right now. And there's no reason
1:44:37
that if you're gonna use any of these women and
1:44:39
try to do something serious, it should have bad
1:44:41
angles and bad series of
1:44:43
angles and then bad embarrassing matches
1:44:45
on TV. I just don't think they have
1:44:47
any idea what they're doing right now. The fans don't
1:44:50
wanna see Saraiya. It's not that they've turned on Saraiya.
1:44:52
They've said, please leave. There
1:44:54
are people on this show that even
1:44:57
the most die hard AEW fans are
1:44:59
like, come on. We wanna see something
1:45:01
else. There's never been any
1:45:03
reason for me to
1:45:05
think about
1:45:06
you. I
1:45:07
don't think anyone my life. I'm going
1:45:09
down for the last time.
1:45:11
What was the name of the head east album that
1:45:14
that immortal hit was --
1:45:15
Oh. -- no idea. I don't know this. What is the
1:45:17
pancake, baby?
1:45:19
Well, so is the audience reaction to
1:45:21
a lot of these segments, but
1:45:23
now this is not good.
1:45:24
Yeah. Well, it's saying they're out there.
1:45:27
You know, they've either got the the
1:45:29
false count anywhere match or the fake
1:45:31
Texas death match where they're setting up
1:45:33
tables and chairs and ladders and
1:45:35
propping stuff up on each
1:45:37
other shop class projects or
1:45:40
they they got the girls here where they got the
1:45:42
spray paint can and one of them One
1:45:45
of them has some wood putty and the other one's got
1:45:47
a thing, a cock. Now I bet you one of
1:45:49
those girls gonna cock the other one before
1:45:51
the the time's up. I'm telling you it looks
1:45:53
like a a raging
1:45:56
band of ofmitigate home
1:45:58
improvers. Just running
1:46:00
around trying to Yeah. They're trying
1:46:03
to build things, paint people. They're trying
1:46:05
to make new gimmicks and fix
1:46:07
these broken down old wrestlers
1:46:09
up. But they're they just don't
1:46:11
have the experience of the professionals, Brian.
1:46:16
You
1:46:16
know the whole thing? Improvement professionals. Yes,
1:46:18
of course.
1:46:19
Now you see where where I'm going here.
1:46:21
Well,
1:46:21
kind of No. No. No. You'd if No.
1:46:23
Let me let me explain something,
1:46:26
folks. If you want your home improved,
1:46:28
you don't want these off brand
1:46:30
shade tree carpenters coming in,
1:46:32
lean and ladders up to they're gonna
1:46:34
break and then have referees run-in to hold
1:46:37
and and and using sledgehammers
1:46:39
that they can't even break a guess go
1:46:42
with how they're gonna break up that old
1:46:44
concrete and much less
1:46:46
with these girls with the cans of spray paint
1:46:48
that they just Well, boy,
1:46:50
howdy. They can't hit the broad side of a
1:46:52
barn with that paint much less. A
1:46:54
home improvement project. You want
1:46:56
the professionals. In charge of
1:46:58
making your home look better, and we've talked
1:47:01
about it for several weeks now,
1:47:03
the folks at West Shore
1:47:05
Home They're the fastest growing
1:47:07
shower and bath remodeling company in
1:47:09
the United States, and they will
1:47:11
stop you From having
1:47:14
that nasty you know,
1:47:15
Brian, you've had it many times when your bathtub
1:47:17
gets old and it's growing the mold and the
1:47:19
mildew and the organisms. I've not had
1:47:22
the back nateria and the
1:47:23
fungus and all the little
1:47:25
and all the little furry things that
1:47:27
when you look into under the microscope, you
1:47:30
see these things. They've got five eyes
1:47:32
and six legs and ten ears
1:47:34
and they're chewing on you. Every time you get
1:47:36
in your your rotten mold
1:47:39
riddled bathtub, Or
1:47:42
if you get your rotten mold riddled
1:47:44
shower with all the grotting, that's the
1:47:46
rotten grout, all that grotting down
1:47:49
there, Well, then you're getting a fungus
1:47:51
that attaches itself to your feet. Then
1:47:53
you walk from your shower
1:47:56
to your bedroom and you get in bed and
1:47:58
you put your air feet in the bed, and then
1:48:00
the fungus is in the bed with your naked
1:48:02
dangly bits. You'll get flesh
1:48:04
eating bacteria on your penis.
1:48:07
As a result of having a dirty shower.
1:48:09
What are you talking about? And you don't want
1:48:11
that to happen. No. You don't. don't know why
1:48:13
you're talking about it. Oh. Like, do you know
1:48:15
how many people that their
1:48:17
penis is annually in the United States
1:48:20
alone right off because of dirty showers
1:48:22
and
1:48:22
bathtubs?
1:48:25
You don't know, do you? You
1:48:26
don't know either. There's no way you know this either.
1:48:28
It's a
1:48:28
lot. It's a
1:48:29
predator to know that. Based
1:48:31
on what? What do you think of the same
1:48:34
conversations I've had with people I've talked
1:48:36
to? It makes that I've heard
1:48:38
of the police officers. Where? Yes.
1:48:40
So in line at the post office, I'll
1:48:43
I kept my ears open, and I'll tell you something
1:48:45
else. When you're sitting in an old dirty
1:48:47
bathtub, that impermeable
1:48:49
green ring around about your belly
1:48:52
button area that you can't wash off that's
1:48:54
coming from that dirty water. So
1:48:56
you need clean showers
1:48:58
and bathtubs to promote general
1:49:00
health and welfare and the pursuit of
1:49:02
domestic tranquility. And that's what
1:49:05
the folks at West Shore Home are doing. They're
1:49:07
gonna fully replace your old shower bathtub
1:49:09
with their modern showers or baths in just
1:49:11
one day. Because it's all part
1:49:14
of their their plan, their scheduling plan.
1:49:16
First, they send out an expert,
1:49:19
a home remodeling design consultant
1:49:22
and they'll send them out mornings, afternoons,
1:49:24
evening weekends Cornette until
1:49:27
you open the door. Now, whenever
1:49:29
you want them, they'll be there. Oh,
1:49:31
yes. And together
1:49:33
with them, you will design and build
1:49:36
basically in your in your dreams. Your
1:49:38
dream shower or bath just the
1:49:41
way you want it. They've got the designs, the laser
1:49:43
etch stuff built in seats. You know, I've got a seat
1:49:45
in the corner of my shower. Brian,
1:49:47
in the office, in case I get tired walking
1:49:49
across it, They've got the shelves,
1:49:52
the doors, the windows, magnetic shower
1:49:54
heads, Maggie. You can trick this thing out
1:49:56
like the Daigum space shuttle if
1:49:58
you want to. And then a couple
1:50:01
of days later after you design it, the remodeling
1:50:03
professionals come in. One
1:50:05
day Bath replaced. They will knock
1:50:08
your old bathtub or shower, they'll just take
1:50:10
that thing right out the back of your house, the whole
1:50:12
wall and everything, be out in the backyard, and
1:50:15
they'll fix it up nice for you, and it'll
1:50:17
be ready for dinner. And
1:50:19
I still think that it's very rude if
1:50:21
you don't invite the
1:50:24
professionals, the workers for
1:50:26
dinner in your brand new bathroom. You
1:50:29
don't have to eat dinner in your bathroom. You can
1:50:31
eat at the table, but serve that, you
1:50:33
know, just flop the toilet lid down. Put
1:50:35
the plate on the toilet
1:50:37
lid. Give the guy a fucking he can sit on
1:50:39
the edge of the tub. And reward
1:50:41
him for his hard work, but it'll be
1:50:43
ready to use before dinner. That's
1:50:45
in in case also you're dirty and you wanna
1:50:48
wash up before you eat. That's always recommended.
1:50:51
You have no work in this. As
1:50:53
the consumer, you are merely sitting
1:50:55
back watching the magic happen
1:50:58
by the West Shore Home Professionals. And
1:51:02
they do windows and doors, and you can
1:51:04
check out their website, which of
1:51:06
course is west shore home dot com,
1:51:08
You can check that out to see which locations
1:51:11
you can request the free window and door
1:51:13
remodeling preview. It's
1:51:15
quite they actually have the windows and doors
1:51:18
Come out one at time to music and
1:51:21
walk down a runway so
1:51:23
that you can take a look and see which ones you
1:51:25
like. At
1:51:25
this point, I can't even walk any of these back.
1:51:28
It's so ridiculous.
1:51:29
Well, folks, it's not ridiculous about
1:51:31
the quest. It's amazing now.
1:51:32
Doors. Yeah. No. The wallet. I didn't
1:51:35
say they were dancing. They just walked. They walked
1:51:37
down the catwalk. They walked down
1:51:39
the catwalk. Alright.
1:51:41
Right. So because they're they're they're
1:51:44
just sexy enough for your home. Anyway,
1:51:46
yes, folks. You can get a brand
1:51:49
new bathroom, shower, tub,
1:51:51
windows, doors. They've
1:51:54
I don't know. They might even branch out into roofs
1:51:56
pretty soon. They're making a lot of money off our
1:51:58
sponsorships. So, folks,
1:52:01

1:53:04
What's your home?
1:53:08
Alright. Alright. What
1:53:10
else did you like that beat I did you behind
1:53:12
you? Yeah. I was I was afraid that you
1:53:14
were having stroke and you were trying
1:53:16
to signal for help over there. No, that
1:53:18
was actually Tony Atlas getting stomped. I thought
1:53:20
it would sound interesting. I wanted to see if you went longer
1:53:22
than he did getting stomped.
1:53:26
Well, I've always been able to last longer than
1:53:28
Tony when he stopped getting stomped. But nevertheless,
1:53:30
So the
1:53:34
next part of the AEW program, can
1:53:36
you answer this question
1:53:38
for me? Why After
1:53:41
what happened at the pay per view, would
1:53:44
they assign hang
1:53:46
nail Adam Page to be interviewed
1:53:49
by Renee Moxley Good, his
1:53:51
opponent plumber Moxley's
1:53:53
wife. There
1:53:55
was so many awkward Rename
1:53:58
Moxley Good promo segments
1:54:00
in the last few weeks, mostly with Adam
1:54:02
Page. But even the thing with Don Callis,
1:54:04
like I told you in the pre show where All
1:54:06
of a sudden, she's talking about her husband.
1:54:09
And it just creates this weird awkward
1:54:11
dynamic and why is it still
1:54:13
happening? I don't know.
1:54:15
But why after the paper, you after we
1:54:17
thought they finished everything, I don't know.
1:54:19
Oh, boy. To find out. But yeah. But
1:54:22
Why would she wanna I know somebody well,
1:54:24
they're professional that are assigned to, no, you
1:54:26
dumb shit. It makes business look like fucking
1:54:29
shit. If after what they did they were
1:54:31
hitting each other in the head with
1:54:33
bricks. They weren't selling
1:54:35
it, but they were doing it. Why
1:54:38
wouldn't she say, I'm not gonna talk to that
1:54:40
guy? Why wouldn't he say fuck
1:54:42
that guy in his fucking wife? I'm not talking
1:54:44
to her. He's out here again. They're
1:54:47
trying to do this This is apparently
1:54:50
I don't know. WWE wants to do wrestling
1:54:53
as a Nickelodeon Kids fucking
1:54:56
Touring Show or Yo Gabba Gabar
1:54:58
or whatever, and
1:55:01
AEW wants to do wrestling
1:55:04
for and by socially awkward
1:55:07
misfits, and Neither
1:55:12
production is particularly appealing because
1:55:14
of that. But he's out
1:55:16
there trying to do this. Oh, I didn't wanna be
1:55:18
so dark and go to a dark place,
1:55:20
a dark phony place. It
1:55:23
would have been a dark place if we'd have believed
1:55:25
any of it, but since it was so preposterous and
1:55:28
stupid, we didn't. But
1:55:31
he I didn't wanna go to a dark place,
1:55:33
but I've proved now if you try
1:55:35
me, I'll take you to hell.
1:55:38
I'll rip off your flesh. I'll
1:55:40
choke you until life all but leaves
1:55:42
your body. That's an exact
1:55:45
quote from Hang Nails page. And that was
1:55:47
said -- What about as convincing? -- in
1:55:49
the most unemotional, unconvincing,
1:55:52
nerdy sounding way possible. Like
1:55:54
a teenager talking tough on twitch.
1:55:58
And then they have the interplay where
1:56:01
he apologies as to Renee for
1:56:03
what he did Sunday, but I'm
1:56:05
done with Moxley now. That's thank
1:56:07
fucking God is what I
1:56:08
said. But as we'll find out,
1:56:11
he's a liar. And
1:56:13
how many times are we gonna see that? Would you say Ricky
1:56:15
Stark's gonna not there a couple weeks ago? I'm done with
1:56:17
Jericho. I'm moving on.
1:56:19
And then he wasn't done with him. I'm done with
1:56:22
Moxley. No, you're not. No one's ever
1:56:24
done with anything here. No. But I I'm
1:56:26
I'm about to be done, but also Who
1:56:29
did they think this appeals to?
1:56:31
When he's I don't
1:56:33
wanna go to this dark place,
1:56:35
but I'll e rip off your
1:56:37
flesh. I'll choke you until life. And he's
1:56:39
standing there. A mush mouth
1:56:42
pussy is what he is. We've established he's
1:56:44
not a fucking cowboy. This is not Stan Hanson.
1:56:47
This is howdy fucking duty. And
1:56:51
and and he gives
1:56:53
his feelings. He had a chance to fight a
1:56:55
punk he wouldn't fucking do it? Because
1:56:59
the fight with Moxley is fake where they're not
1:57:01
really hitting each other over there with those bricks.
1:57:05
Hey. He'll he'll fucking take that one
1:57:07
and chew the flesh and eat the
1:57:09
blood and drink the bones or whatever, but
1:57:13
He could've fucking told, hey, don't talk
1:57:15
to me like that. If you're mad at something I
1:57:17
did, let's fucking go out here. He chose to
1:57:19
decline from that one.
1:57:21
Well,
1:57:22
again, that's real life as opposed to.
1:57:24
Yes. Well,
1:57:26
and it's obvious that this is not real
1:57:28
life. They make it more and more obvious all the time.
1:57:30
Anyway, speaking of real life, something
1:57:34
they actually can't control. Another
1:57:38
entity on Tony Khan's
1:57:40
roster has gotten themselves over.
1:57:43
With their hard work and their talent and
1:57:45
their determination and their matches in
1:57:47
every other promotion but is. FTR.
1:57:52
Despite the rotten lousy booking
1:57:54
and the Bucks ghosting them on that
1:57:56
third match where they would have all the belts
1:57:58
so they could go play with their friends and not
1:58:01
have to do that job
1:58:03
and the ridiculous other shit they've been
1:58:05
at, which cash listed in
1:58:07
the promo, all the losses that
1:58:09
they had had And
1:58:12
and you know they lost all those other companies
1:58:15
belts because the goddamn promise
1:58:17
that those other companies were made that
1:58:19
the AEW World
1:58:21
Champions would also have all of their belts
1:58:23
that never came to fruition. So
1:58:26
they got everything taken away from because Tony
1:58:28
Kahn didn't know how to book them and
1:58:31
the EVPs didn't want them booked.
1:58:35
But they come out and do a in ring interview
1:58:37
with Tony Shibani and the people are standing
1:58:39
up and cheering and chanting for them.
1:58:41
So loud, they say, you gotta
1:58:43
speak up, Tony. We can't hear you.
1:58:47
Because they were missed, because they went
1:58:49
away, and they didn't go away on purpose.
1:58:53
Regardless, what day? They wanna wake up, what the
1:58:55
fuck? How many times can you show up every
1:58:57
week and be humiliated and beat down on
1:58:59
national television before you finally say, you
1:59:01
know what? We'll
1:59:03
back up and nurse few injuries here.
1:59:07
They did a great baby faced promo.
1:59:10
They talked about all they've lost, but somehow
1:59:12
they made it into a positive because
1:59:16
the people the fans
1:59:18
have sympathy for him because of the rotten
1:59:21
booking. This on a
1:59:23
much, much larger scale is
1:59:25
the midnight express in Philadelphia in nineteen
1:59:28
ninety. Or Baltimore, every
1:59:30
time we'd show up in the Northeast as those
1:59:32
towns got smart and we
1:59:34
were always doing the job and they knew that Heard
1:59:36
was fucking with us because of the early newsletters,
1:59:40
we were babyfaces. Because they
1:59:42
appreciated that they were giving us appreciation
1:59:44
for the talent since our own
1:59:46
company wasn't. Everywhere
1:59:50
on a mass national scale
1:59:53
with everybody being in on it now instead
1:59:55
of just five percent of the audience maybe,
1:59:58
that's what's happening to FTR. They
2:00:00
feel sorry for them because They
2:00:03
want to see more of them. They are the
2:00:05
best demon wrestling, and they've
2:00:07
been jacked around by the company they work for.
2:00:11
And then they, you know, basically cut the
2:00:13
promo where they say we can't, in all good
2:00:16
conscience, let the guns call themselves the best
2:00:18
team in the world and we're back to fix that.
2:00:21
And it was a breath of fresh air on this program
2:00:23
because not only a good promo to build
2:00:25
interest in something we care about
2:00:28
in a positive business fashion from
2:00:30
grown adult men who
2:00:32
got over on talent and
2:00:35
finished strong in the promo
2:00:37
without being cut off, jumped, or beat
2:00:40
down. It
2:00:42
was almost like it was a different
2:00:44
program altogether. Your
2:00:47
thoughts on the
2:00:49
the
2:00:51
the almost impossible hill they
2:00:53
have to climb of all the green teams they
2:00:55
have to
2:00:56
work with. We'll see what happens.
2:00:58
Good promo. I actually thought cash did
2:01:00
really well here.
2:01:02
He did both of them. And and we
2:01:04
hear that actually. We hear that
2:01:05
talk
2:01:06
a lot more in these promos. Cash didn't stand
2:01:08
out. Cash didn't really good here.
2:01:11
But I just I wish
2:01:13
they had somebody to fucking work with. And,
2:01:17
unfortunately, you
2:01:19
know, the briskos will not be engaging
2:01:21
in any more tag team matches. And
2:01:25
From that, who I
2:01:27
mean, the guns because they have the belts, but
2:01:29
and and the guns can learn from being in the
2:01:31
ring with FTR, but who is a great
2:01:33
tag team match that they can
2:01:36
work with. In AEW or Ring
2:01:38
of Honor is a tag team. Bennett
2:01:40
and Tavan
2:01:41
Jeff and lethal?
2:01:43
Can't
2:01:44
think of anybody else? Yeah. And I don't
2:01:46
know how many people are gonna wanna see, you know,
2:01:48
Jeff and lethal anymore. Are you hooked You like
2:01:50
it more than anyone else wants to
2:01:51
say. I'm just talking about a good quality wrestling
2:01:53
match. I'm not even talking about anything it'll
2:01:55
draw. Aussie open. Aussie open.
2:01:58
Actually. Oh, they're what? They
2:02:00
just showed a randomly for a battle roll for no
2:02:02
reason. They can't do a little mini program,
2:02:04
but FDR. There are no
2:02:05
other options. But but no. I mean, I mean, I'm
2:02:07
talking about a good tag team match
2:02:09
with a good team where you just have
2:02:11
a good match. Is there anyone? I'll give
2:02:14
you someone, although it wouldn't work perfect way
2:02:16
because FTR baby faces.
2:02:18
But if you need top flight to learn how
2:02:20
to be tag team,
2:02:23
That's who you put him in the ring with. Yeah.
2:02:26
But again, do we give up on these
2:02:28
guys? Again, is drawing money and just say,
2:02:31
well, let's just put him into fucking can teach
2:02:33
other teams how to
2:02:34
work. They're not
2:02:35
gonna draw money if they don't have anyone else in
2:02:37
the division. You have to start building up someone else
2:02:39
in the division. Yeah. But there's
2:02:42
difference between training and building. See,
2:02:45
the the the thing is you get you
2:02:49
always have a situation where you've got a
2:02:51
younger team that can benefit by
2:02:53
being in the ring with whoever the veterans
2:02:55
are, and whatever era
2:02:58
or roster or whatever. But
2:03:02
if you have a great tag team
2:03:04
you either have them working
2:03:07
with guys that need training and teaching
2:03:09
them something and going over them or
2:03:12
working to build a program with a
2:03:14
team that's already ready to be in a main event
2:03:16
program. You can't
2:03:19
do the on the job training and get him over
2:03:21
to to be legitimate main eventors
2:03:23
all at the same fucking time. Even
2:03:25
flare didn't do that with sting. Sting had
2:03:27
goddamn been working a
2:03:29
variety of people for, what,
2:03:31
three years at that point? It
2:03:34
was just a, you know, a three year overnight
2:03:36
assets at the clash of Champions, but you can't
2:03:38
do both at the same time. You
2:03:40
can either train the young guys and make them
2:03:43
look better after
2:03:45
you've wrestled him when you beat him and move on
2:03:47
to your program or you can
2:03:50
build work and build it with a team
2:03:52
for your program, but you can't do both
2:03:54
at the same time. Anyway,
2:03:58
and by the way, Jane Cargill is
2:04:01
fifty three and o. What
2:04:04
would they be saying about Wardlow right
2:04:06
now if he was fifty three and o?
2:04:09
I wonder. We'll get
2:04:11
to that in minute too. I'm I'm gonna bring
2:04:13
up something that maybe they could
2:04:15
have done instead of what they have done. But first,
2:04:17
we get the Six man tag
2:04:19
team match, Brian, what'd you think of Jericho
2:04:21
and Sammy and Garcia against top
2:04:24
flight and AR
2:04:25
fox? I don't
2:04:27
wanna talk too much about the match, but I
2:04:29
was intrigued by the post match.
2:04:32
Well, this was the top of the nine o'clock hour
2:04:34
segment. And
2:04:36
they went to the break after three minutes
2:04:38
of match at 902. So that
2:04:40
kinda defeats the purpose of having a top
2:04:43
of the fucking nine o'clock. Segment.
2:04:45
But this
2:04:48
wasn't this was neither star power
2:04:50
nor a gripping match that would keep
2:04:53
people and then they didn't even keep them to begin
2:04:55
with. They'd set them to break. But Hager
2:04:59
hit Darius
2:05:01
in the back with a bat, and then Jericho
2:05:03
hit the Jew to Sony 123.
2:05:06
And Hager looked even more nicholas
2:05:08
than ever and whatever the fuck he was wearing. Oh my
2:05:10
god. What a free rad this fucking guy's
2:05:13
got? Just Anyway,
2:05:16
then they all have to talk. Cool hand
2:05:19
Luke starts talking. And
2:05:21
that's why I realized they're still in California. By
2:05:23
the way, what is light the beam.
2:05:26
There were signs saying light the beam, and
2:05:28
he said, everybody's gonna light the beam,
2:05:30
and then they chanted light the beam.
2:05:33
What is the beam and why does it need lighting?
2:05:36
And then, Daddy Mac, he
2:05:38
yelled some. He sounds like Cindy
2:05:40
Lop but his voice is not quite as
2:05:43
deep, but with the New
2:05:45
New Jersey accent or whatever. And
2:05:49
they say that they're the number one contenders for
2:05:51
the six man tag team title and challenge
2:05:53
the House of Black. And then
2:05:56
The lights go out, but
2:05:59
Kansas music plays. And
2:06:03
You know, I really used to like Kansas. They're
2:06:07
they've ruined Kansas for me now. Here
2:06:10
come well, they don't come. They just they're out
2:06:12
there in the in conference way, Kenny,
2:06:15
and the buckaroos. And Kenny
2:06:18
does his usual douche bag
2:06:20
promo voice and zoo We've
2:06:23
avoided each other and stayed away
2:06:25
from your universe or whatever for like three
2:06:27
years, but these are our six man
2:06:29
belts. You bastards. No. He
2:06:31
actually That was more exciting than what
2:06:33
he did say. He just said, well, they're, you
2:06:36
know, they're laying claim to the six man belts.
2:06:39
And then to save it,
2:06:41
thank fuck. Have you ever
2:06:43
been happy to see Don Phallis before?
2:06:46
He runs out and jerks the microphone
2:06:49
out of Kenny's hand. People
2:06:51
stood up and applaud it. No. And he
2:06:53
sucks too. Don't pretend he doesn't suck. Well,
2:06:55
no. But there's there's levels, at
2:06:57
least. He he's
2:06:59
sucking right now because of the
2:07:02
the situation he's in the people he surrounded
2:07:04
himself with and the way that he's made himself
2:07:06
look, but at least he picked up the energy level
2:07:08
on a microphone from twinkle toes.
2:07:11
Any cut to promo on Jericho, knocking
2:07:14
him for being the second best wrestler ever
2:07:16
from Winnipeg. And
2:07:18
third, if he had a few months to get in shape,
2:07:20
I don't I thought Bulldog Bob
2:07:22
Brown was from Winnipeg. He's
2:07:25
better than Kenny, Anyway,
2:07:29
so Jericho challenges them right
2:07:31
here right now. Let's do it. And
2:07:33
then the lights go out again. There's that
2:07:36
he'll fucking lighting guy again. And
2:07:39
then this was where they jumped the shark.
2:07:44
The House of Black was on the screen,
2:07:47
and they're in their normal dark room
2:07:50
and they're obviously live
2:07:52
because they're referring to what
2:07:54
has just been happening. Hey
2:07:57
boys, you don't need to fight you don't need
2:07:59
to argue amongst each other. If
2:08:02
you want these and they held up
2:08:04
the six man belts and then the
2:08:06
lights went out again, And
2:08:09
then the lights come back on, and now
2:08:11
the House of Black is standing in the aisleway
2:08:14
in between The cheerico
2:08:16
appreciators in the ring and the fucking
2:08:19
buckaroos on a stage, and
2:08:21
he finishes his sentence. Come
2:08:23
get them. In
2:08:25
space of ten seconds. So
2:08:28
they they
2:08:30
expose their own business Just
2:08:34
to because I don't think anybody
2:08:36
believes that they legitimately teleported
2:08:39
themselves from that dark room through
2:08:41
space. To that spot
2:08:44
in ten seconds. So
2:08:46
they pre taped the
2:08:49
dark room where they were reacting
2:08:52
to shit that wasn't happening because
2:08:54
it hadn't happened yet. Just
2:08:58
to do a cool spot
2:09:01
that a bunch of people who do
2:09:03
not have female lips around
2:09:05
their dicks on a regular basis
2:09:07
would applaud for. And
2:09:12
then the
2:09:14
lights went out again. Him
2:09:17
when the lights came back on again, the House of
2:09:19
Black was gone, and Jericho
2:09:22
was screaming at the floor camera like a
2:09:24
maniac because he realized that they were being
2:09:26
stood left in the ring like a spare prick at the
2:09:28
wedding. And the buckaroos
2:09:31
because there used to be in spare pricks at a
2:09:33
wedding, they just fucking wandered off.
2:09:36
And this whole thing from entrances to
2:09:38
match to the end of promo and
2:09:41
then the poor man's David
2:09:44
Copperfield Chris Angel routine vanishing
2:09:46
in the darkness was over
2:09:49
twenty fucking minutes. Your
2:09:53
thoughts,
2:09:55
I initially wasn't intrigued.
2:09:57
Although I think it's ridiculous, you're gonna If
2:10:00
you're gonna do it run-in or confront someone, you should
2:10:02
be able to just do it without music playing,
2:10:04
without a big image. All
2:10:06
of these things Let alone,
2:10:08
not doing a run-in or anything. Just standing there
2:10:10
to do your pose. There's a time
2:10:13
and a place for all these things. I
2:10:15
was intrigued by the idea we
2:10:17
asked the other day what does Jericho do next? You know
2:10:19
what? Jericho and
2:10:21
Guevara And Garcia,
2:10:24
feuding with the elite? That
2:10:26
could be interesting. It'll be nuts. We'll have
2:10:29
lots to laugh about and complain
2:10:30
about. But I wonder
2:10:33
what's gonna happen there and then the spooky shit.
2:10:35
And it's
2:10:36
like fuck. Are you in a house
2:10:38
of black? If House of Black was
2:10:40
exactly who they are minus smoke
2:10:43
and teleporting, I
2:10:45
probably liked them a whole lot better.
2:10:47
But as soon as they do this shit, as soon as they show
2:10:49
that they have magical powers,
2:10:52
that takes me completely out of
2:10:53
it. They're doing this matching Winnipeg.
2:10:56
Three way six person
2:10:58
well, I guess
2:10:59
What's that? Three
2:10:59
way Trio's
2:11:00
story is attached. There's three yes.
2:11:02
There's nine of them. Nine of them in Winnipeg.
2:11:05
You don't think
2:11:05
he's gonna hotshot this belt.
2:11:07
In Winnipeg, do you consider you have Kenny
2:11:09
and you have Jericho? Well,
2:11:11
again, here's
2:11:14
the problem. It might
2:11:16
be interesting with their three of
2:11:18
Jericho's guys, and there's three of the House of
2:11:20
Black, and there's three of the Buckaroos.
2:11:25
So now that we know that they all
2:11:27
have a common goal of the Six
2:11:29
Man tag team title, then
2:11:32
Yeah. If they got into a program, well,
2:11:35
it might be interesting. But
2:11:38
now that we they're going to have the
2:11:41
three way match next week. So
2:11:43
they're either they're
2:11:45
either doing a seven day program or
2:11:48
they're doing as Tony usually does.
2:11:51
The program in reverse order in having
2:11:53
the blow off match first to
2:11:56
where that each succeeding match
2:11:58
will have less interest than
2:12:01
the previous one did, which is Tony's
2:12:03
normal pattern. Even
2:12:06
if you were gonna have these teams mattered
2:12:09
each other and worked toward each other. You
2:12:11
don't do the three ways the first fucking
2:12:13
match. It's a is
2:12:15
it you're an embassy. Speaking
2:12:20
of the MSO, he did
2:12:22
his own announcement this week, and he
2:12:25
he almost got through it without looking
2:12:27
like he'd fucking snorted half
2:12:29
a Peru before he came out. So
2:12:34
he announces that pockets once Jeff
2:12:36
Jared next week. So We've
2:12:39
just seen the final defense
2:12:41
of the A and P title in next
2:12:43
week for the very
2:12:45
good reason that we want
2:12:47
to support the release of Shazam,
2:12:50
the movie. We're
2:12:52
gonna change the title of or the
2:12:54
name of the A and P title to
2:12:56
the international title. Level
2:12:59
up. We're gonna level up. We're gonna
2:13:01
level up the what is that
2:13:03
like? Is that the subtitle of Shazam?
2:13:06
Is it Jazam, level up. What's video
2:13:08
game talk?
2:13:08
It's when video games you level up?
2:13:10
Seriously?
2:13:13
Yes. I
2:13:15
thought he just made some shit. We're gonna level
2:13:17
up the title. I thought what the fuck it's on
2:13:20
the level or I if that
2:13:22
was the subtitle of the movie or what the
2:13:24
fuck? I thought he just made some shit up, but
2:13:26
that's a video game term. So
2:13:29
he what is leveling up in a video
2:13:31
game? Making everything even
2:13:33
again or You go to the next
2:13:35
level, you get more
2:13:36
power, more, whatever.
2:13:39
You went from level four to level five,
2:13:41
and five is better than four. You could
2:13:43
do more. It depends on the
2:13:44
game. I answered nothing,
2:13:46
but I hope you enjoyed my answer. Oh my god.
2:13:49
So now you well, this title that met
2:13:51
nothing before and represented nobody
2:13:53
when it was the all Atlantic title.
2:13:57
Now we'll just make it the
2:13:59
international idle so it represents
2:14:01
even more phony fucking area that nobody
2:14:03
cares
2:14:04
about. And we're going to
2:14:06
do that because we see it done in video
2:14:08
games.
2:14:11
Well, no. He's using a term that comes
2:14:13
originally from our video.
2:14:15
What a title?
2:14:15
What the fuck? They he made up a title
2:14:17
and now he's changed the fucking name of it,
2:14:19
and they again,
2:14:22
then they went to clips of the movie,
2:14:24
Shazam, and AEW wrestlers,
2:14:27
interspersed. In
2:14:29
what way do they have anything
2:14:32
to do with young Billy Batson?
2:14:35
Why did Tony have to make this announcement
2:14:38
himself? At this point now,
2:14:40
he teased a big announcement that was a
2:14:42
major let down to just about everyone a few
2:14:44
weeks ago. Now it's another one. Now
2:14:46
he's made it so that the next time Tonycom makes
2:14:48
an announcement, are you gonna
2:14:49
shrug, are you gonna pay attention?
2:14:52
That's
2:14:52
what he's done because now he's just hotshotting himself,
2:14:55
on TV. Well,
2:14:57
he made an announcement that his
2:15:00
favorite wrestler is
2:15:02
gonna get an even bigger fake title
2:15:04
in a match next week and pitched
2:15:06
two clips of his wrestlers, interspersed
2:15:08
with a new movie for no reason. Why
2:15:11
don't you just name it the Shazam championship
2:15:13
then? If you're doing the latter of the movie,
2:15:15
name it the Shazam championship as
2:15:17
opposed to renaming it because, I guess,
2:15:19
This is his
2:15:20
way. This has to be his way of
2:15:22
admitting without saying it.
2:15:24
Yeah. It shouldn't have been called the All Atlantic
2:15:26
Championship considering some
2:15:29
of the flags on the belt. It was
2:15:31
sittering where I wanted to fended all of
2:15:33
these things. He picked the
2:15:35
wrong ocean. To mess up. I mean, when
2:15:37
I saw that, that's when I couldn't believe the show. He
2:15:39
didn't blink. He just stared at the
2:15:41
camera, and he didn't know how to end
2:15:43
what he was saying. And it was
2:15:45
so awkward. He got stuck in a loop at the
2:15:47
end where he said the same thing about three times because
2:15:49
he didn't know exactly where to quit
2:15:51
period. He shouldn't be doing this. This should be Tony
2:15:53
Shivani. Making official announcements
2:15:55
on AEW's behalf. Unless it's something
2:15:57
big like, hey, everyone. We've signed
2:15:59
Hulk Hogan. Then it shouldn't be
2:16:01
Tony comm to get any more announcements on camera.
2:16:05
Well, the next on camera
2:16:07
was Again,
2:16:10
you you go from
2:16:12
completely ridiculous to every once
2:16:14
in a while of amazing
2:16:17
display of the art
2:16:20
of whatever wrestling
2:16:22
is that we're displaying, verbal or physical
2:16:24
or whatever in this case. Brian Danielson
2:16:28
In the back after the iron man
2:16:30
matched from the pay per view, still
2:16:34
a sitting down, tired out, broke
2:16:36
down, talking about
2:16:38
the injuries and the effects of the match
2:16:41
and that he figured
2:16:43
he was putting himself before his family
2:16:47
When he couldn't feel his legs, he
2:16:49
was crying, and
2:16:51
he ends up a time for me to go home.
2:16:54
This was fucking incredible. He
2:16:57
made you feel it and believe it.
2:17:01
And You
2:17:03
know, and and after that match, you could
2:17:05
see in the the highlights and the b roll and
2:17:07
everything helped, but You
2:17:10
know that again,
2:17:13
he's got a couple of guys.
2:17:17
He's got Danielson. He's got MDF.
2:17:20
He had punk. He's got FTR.
2:17:24
That either verbally or physically
2:17:26
or both through their performances and
2:17:29
the way they structure their shit Cornette
2:17:32
take even these bat shit goofy
2:17:35
little group of fans that he's got that likes
2:17:37
the endy rific shit they
2:17:40
still respond to
2:17:42
the professional shit and
2:17:46
Other people might be interested in it
2:17:49
if they saw it, and if it wasn't
2:17:51
cluttered up amidst
2:17:53
all this indie outlaw, Gaga,
2:17:56
that they're so wrapped up in, that's
2:17:59
all that most of his roster has
2:18:01
known or can produce. And
2:18:03
it ain't getting him nowhere. And
2:18:07
it's been three years and he's
2:18:11
had time after time that either
2:18:13
the homegrown guy ward low or
2:18:15
somebody will get over or they wanna
2:18:18
they really want Hater to turn on Baker
2:18:20
or and we I we can't
2:18:22
even really use Sammy Guevara as
2:18:24
an example anymore because he sat ties
2:18:26
himself, letting people know that he was really a dick.
2:18:30
But they
2:18:32
wander into these every once in a while, and then
2:18:34
they drop the ball on
2:18:38
all of them. So Danielson
2:18:41
was that great heel at one point. Now he's
2:18:43
what a sympathetic baby face. But
2:18:46
if it's time for him to go home, will we remember
2:18:48
by the time he comes back, then
2:18:51
we really felt bad for him. But
2:18:55
I love this promo and it was like a minute
2:18:57
and a half. It's the best part of the show.
2:18:59
Great promo and this goes to The
2:19:01
kind of product we're always preaching for is something
2:19:03
that's serious that doesn't insult the audience, something
2:19:05
that makes you want more. This is what
2:19:07
wrestling could be in twenty twenty three.
2:19:10
Well guess what they made it next.
2:19:13
Moxley and Claudia
2:19:15
with useless in the corner against
2:19:17
the dork order, little brutus, it is
2:19:19
partner, Houdat. Because
2:19:22
I can never remember his fucking name, but I've
2:19:24
never made up a name for him, I think, so
2:19:26
he from now on his Houdat. And
2:19:29
of course, they rang the bell and Moxley and Claudia
2:19:32
jumped him and Moxley through his gout of the
2:19:34
floor. And took off after
2:19:36
him. He was lynched three days before
2:19:38
this television program. By
2:19:41
a supposed grown adult cowboy with
2:19:43
a fucking logging chain, He's
2:19:46
fine. He's doing good. No
2:19:49
lingering ill effects. Just
2:19:51
a flesh wound. And
2:19:54
this thing went through a break. And at this point,
2:19:56
they've made me not wanna see Claudia now
2:19:58
who I was so looking forward to when he
2:20:00
came to this company. But Now
2:20:02
he's he never speaks. He never
2:20:04
has a single match. He's joined at the hip with
2:20:06
moxley and useless. And
2:20:09
who gives a shit? And
2:20:11
now they've completely switched.
2:20:14
He also moxley
2:20:16
choked out who that and then
2:20:18
put it on him again after the bell and wouldn't
2:20:20
break it and little broodous
2:20:23
trash to stop and claudio gut reaches
2:20:25
him, it just throws him the top like a saggy
2:20:27
shit. That was great. Here comes
2:20:29
fat who knows every time he runs down the ramp,
2:20:31
his tits almost blocked both his eyes.
2:20:35
And basically, the BBC beats
2:20:37
up all the Dorks, and then here comes Page.
2:20:41
And he runs through the
2:20:44
ring and yelling and
2:20:46
I it was awkward and
2:20:48
then he just turned around and nailed claudio
2:20:51
And then all three Moxley
2:20:54
and Claudia and useless jumped
2:20:56
him, and they said the
2:20:58
referee's, and they had the chaos, and
2:21:00
the bell was ringing. And
2:21:02
and that they had everything and this beat
2:21:04
down, they had everything but talent. At
2:21:07
least they were doing the other things that we
2:21:09
have suggested. But so
2:21:11
now we've got all of them beat up fucking
2:21:13
we've again page and the darks.
2:21:16
Against the BBC? More?
2:21:22
You haven't learned that the reason why Adam
2:21:24
Page has been plate, nut or flop. Besides
2:21:28
the fact he has no personality is
2:21:30
because you paired him with job guys begin
2:21:32
with, You
2:21:35
haven't figured out that useless is now
2:21:37
exactly that. He's bet as
2:21:39
useless as set a tits
2:21:42
on a boar hog, and
2:21:46
and now we're gonna see more of this. Help
2:21:50
me, Brian.
2:21:52
I can't help you. John
2:21:55
I'm actually just one wrestler of the year from the
2:21:57
observer. He just got five ours in the
2:21:59
observer for the Adam cage match?
2:22:01
No. Yeah. The the Texas
2:22:03
death match that was a last
2:22:05
man standing match that was a
2:22:08
The example of everything not to
2:22:10
do and how to be completely unprofessional at
2:22:12
wrestling, Uncle Dave gave it five stars.
2:22:15
Mox is like the champion of the ninnie wrestling
2:22:17
fan. He's their domain guy. But
2:22:19
the people like me, he's the worst wrestler in the world,
2:22:21
his matches are terrible, sold nothing from the
2:22:23
match the other day. I wasn't
2:22:25
the biggest claudio fan, not gonna add anything against
2:22:28
him, but he was just to me like a middle of the road
2:22:30
kinda guy. Don't care about him
2:22:32
now. You to try to make a tough face
2:22:34
or an angry face or a mad face, whatever
2:22:36
he's doing, that doesn't work for me.
2:22:38
And then who are they working with? The dark order.
2:22:40
And then it hit me during this. Fuck. We used
2:22:43
to complain about everyone needing a faction.
2:22:45
Now everyone is in a trio's team.
2:22:47
Every single person on this show
2:22:49
has two other people with them at
2:22:51
all times. This isn't
2:22:54
good. I don't know who wants to see more Page
2:22:56
and Moxley ended fine.
2:23:00
It's over. I mean, that was it. That was the big
2:23:02
ending. After everything that happened, choked
2:23:04
them out. Now they're continuing it.
2:23:07
It goes on. For no reason,
2:23:10
terrible. The show's book terrible. This
2:23:12
was terrible. Moxie's terrible. I don't
2:23:14
wanna see any of this. It just
2:23:16
tubb. It just tubb.
2:23:19
Well, speed is terrible. But
2:23:22
I said I was gonna try to help some people.
2:23:25
I don't know. Maybe too late for these particular
2:23:27
people, but maybe Maybe
2:23:30
somebody's coming down a pipeline that could
2:23:32
benefit from this information. The main event
2:23:34
was for the TNT title Powerhouse
2:23:37
Hobbs against Wardlow, Falls
2:23:41
Anywhere, no d q, no
2:23:43
rules, lazy booking, They're
2:23:48
both green. We've talked about
2:23:50
this. And this handicaps them
2:23:52
even further and increases the
2:23:54
injury risk. They're
2:23:57
never gonna learn when you have them doing
2:23:59
nothing but garbage matches. And
2:24:04
again, yeah, Hobbes
2:24:06
has been there for three years, but let's
2:24:08
just say that Now
2:24:11
let's go crazy. Let's say six months ago,
2:24:14
they suddenly decided, oh my god,
2:24:16
we've got this fucking guy. Looks
2:24:19
like a million dollars, still in
2:24:21
his early thirties, obviously
2:24:24
motivated to be better great
2:24:27
backstory. Let's
2:24:29
use him. Right? Is it a
2:24:32
stretch to think that if you have a wrestling
2:24:34
company Regardless of
2:24:36
what kind of wrestling you like, if
2:24:38
you have a wrestling company and you got a guy
2:24:40
like Hobbs on the roster, The
2:24:43
Hobbs of six months ago, you would say,
2:24:45
yeah, let's try to develop him. Wouldn't you?
2:24:47
Is that controversial? No. I don't think
2:24:49
it's controversial. Okay. And
2:24:52
Wardlow, you've
2:24:54
got a guy like Wardlow
2:24:57
that already had gotten over by
2:24:59
six months ago. But to
2:25:02
a a big level, the people were loving the power
2:25:04
of Bob Symphony and loving his explosiveness.
2:25:07
It was being analogies or
2:25:09
similarities were being drawn to
2:25:11
Goldberg. He was the most overweight
2:25:13
he was the most over babyface in the company
2:25:15
for a time. Okay. So
2:25:18
it's not unreasonable to
2:25:20
think with the people screaming for this guy
2:25:23
that even though he's green and he's older than
2:25:25
he looks, that we should probably try
2:25:27
to spend some time and effort in developing
2:25:29
him. Right? That's not controversy. Not
2:25:32
at all. Okay.
2:25:36
Then now six months
2:25:38
later, instead
2:25:40
of doing what they've just done to
2:25:42
each of these guys, instead of Wardlow having
2:25:45
a goddamn long
2:25:47
running program with a fake lawyer and the
2:25:49
security, and then somehow,
2:25:51
Samoa Joe, becoming
2:25:53
his tag team partner for six weeks
2:25:55
so that he could turn heel on, even cut
2:25:58
his fucking hair off and emasculating. Meanwhile,
2:26:00
Hobbs is mad for
2:26:03
a variety of reasons that we're not completely
2:26:05
sure of all of them. At both of these
2:26:07
fucking guys and now they're
2:26:09
just beating each other up each week on television.
2:26:12
What if instead You
2:26:14
had said, okay. I've
2:26:17
got Hobbs and I've got Wardlow and it's six
2:26:19
months ago. So I'm
2:26:21
going to give them both
2:26:24
the same agent, the
2:26:26
same whatever they're agent producer, whatever
2:26:28
they're calling, These days,
2:26:30
one of the veterans that they have
2:26:33
supposedly agenting, producing, setting
2:26:35
up these matches. I've I've seen Pat
2:26:37
Buck on camera I've seen
2:26:39
Jerry Lynn on camera. I've
2:26:41
said who else have I seen b j Whitmer,
2:26:44
a Steel? Oh, well,
2:26:47
a stealing ain't there no more, unfortunately.
2:26:51
Point being some I
2:26:53
of those names that I mentioned, I don't know their
2:26:55
whole roster, but I would pick Jerry Lynn because
2:26:57
he got thirty five years of experience. And
2:27:00
Jerry Lynn was a brilliant
2:27:03
underdog kind of baby faced
2:27:05
smaller guy fight from underneath blah blah
2:27:07
blah. He would know how a big guy works.
2:27:10
So you give Jerry Lynn Hobbs and
2:27:13
Wardlow to teach
2:27:15
them how big men work
2:27:18
you would teach Hobbs the
2:27:20
aggression and how to stay on guys
2:27:22
and how to make all of your shit look
2:27:24
good. I will illustrate here in second with some
2:27:26
things that he's doing that he's taking
2:27:28
shortcuts. You would with
2:27:31
Wardlow as a babe, Hobbs and Be a heel,
2:27:34
obviously. So you're teaching him aggression and
2:27:36
stay it on guys, but how to work
2:27:38
with a guy to his level. In
2:27:40
other words, if you're with a job guy, you give him
2:27:42
almost nothing. If you're with a middle level guy,
2:27:44
you give him a little something. If you're top guy
2:27:46
you give them the most. Psychology
2:27:50
things. You would work
2:27:52
on Cornette, like they started
2:27:54
doing, did one. You made the monster him
2:27:56
working out. He saw his
2:27:58
brother murdered in front of
2:28:00
me. Maybe he's anti social. Let's
2:28:02
flesh that out. You would have that producer
2:28:05
in charge of his vignettes,
2:28:07
his matches, and his training,
2:28:11
and you would put this guy on TV
2:28:14
twice a month once every three weeks.
2:28:17
For six months, getting
2:28:20
wins in four to five minutes convincingly
2:28:23
with his finish And on
2:28:25
weeks, he wasn't. On television,
2:28:28
you might have forty five seconds to a minute
2:28:30
of him speaking. He's not
2:28:32
in a program he doesn't need to be
2:28:34
because he's establishing his
2:28:37
presence in the company
2:28:40
and talking about what he wants to achieve
2:28:42
while he's beaten people. With
2:28:45
Wardlow, it's different but still the
2:28:47
same concept. He's a baby face.
2:28:50
His producer would teach him not to
2:28:52
do these flips
2:28:54
and these outrageous athletic
2:28:57
movements that he does against
2:29:00
job guys, or for no
2:29:02
reason or out of nowhere, you would build
2:29:04
to it. It would be done in pay per view matches
2:29:06
or in bigger matches or guess
2:29:08
more important opponents or just every
2:29:11
once in a while. But
2:29:13
more important, you would concentrate on
2:29:15
him going on the
2:29:17
wind streak with the power
2:29:19
bomb symphony. Every
2:29:23
two or three weeks for six months
2:29:25
he would be on television winning
2:29:28
in a minute With the
2:29:30
power bomb symphony over everybody
2:29:32
that's put in front of him, if he shouldn't beat him
2:29:34
in a minute, they ain't put in front of him.
2:29:37
But he's at the same
2:29:39
time training mentally and
2:29:41
psychologically on when
2:29:44
to do his big athletic moves
2:29:46
and win just to be a dominant physical
2:29:48
beast. And he's the one who
2:29:50
gets pockets his win streak or maybe Jane
2:29:52
Cargill's win streak. Because
2:29:56
Goldberg was fifty something and zero
2:29:58
before they even started fucking gimmick
2:30:00
in it and killing that off because people do it
2:30:02
one real. So then you're
2:30:04
talking about my God. Everybody
2:30:07
wants to see Wardlow against bigger and
2:30:09
better competition. We can't find opponents
2:30:11
for Wardlow. Nobody
2:30:14
wants to go in there and take a chance
2:30:16
on, you know, being a
2:30:18
part of the power bomb symphony. He's
2:30:21
he's not an established name, ladies
2:30:23
and gentlemen, so the champions and the veterans,
2:30:26
they don't wanna get in there and be beat by
2:30:29
relative newcomer unknown. So
2:30:31
we're having a hard time getting people in the ring
2:30:33
with this motherfucker. That's
2:30:36
the way you sell that. And
2:30:39
then eventually,
2:30:43
both of them getting over, one's a
2:30:45
face and one's a heel. And
2:30:47
they neither one have a titled belt because
2:30:49
neither one needs it. And you
2:30:51
do that and you make
2:30:54
sure that in their training, they're understanding
2:30:56
that this is the way to get them over, but
2:30:58
then they are training to have competitive
2:31:01
matches where they still take care of themselves
2:31:04
and their personas and their gimmick, and
2:31:06
then When it's finally
2:31:09
time six months later, then you have
2:31:11
the irresistible force and the immovable
2:31:13
object that one of them ends up with a title
2:31:15
belt. That the other one wants,
2:31:18
and then they've never
2:31:20
touched. They've never even
2:31:22
been in the same universe until it's
2:31:24
time. And then
2:31:26
you have them work out behind the scenes together
2:31:28
for a week or two before their first
2:31:31
match or first long or
2:31:34
substantive physical confrontation
2:31:39
so that they know exactly what they're gonna
2:31:41
do when to make the fucking point and
2:31:45
then you might have a program or
2:31:48
you can do this. You
2:31:50
can book the fucking first match
2:31:53
to be for the title, and
2:31:56
make it street fight, no d q,
2:31:58
no time limit, falls down anywhere,
2:32:00
anything goes no rules. And
2:32:04
they started the match in the parking garage.
2:32:07
Where they were trying to slam each other's heads
2:32:09
in the car doors. And Hobbs
2:32:11
took a backdrop through windshield legitimately.
2:32:15
Before the bell even rang, and then they rang
2:32:18
the bell right before a vertical duplex
2:32:20
on a fucking car hood. And
2:32:24
if they do ninety
2:32:26
seconds of action in
2:32:29
the parking garage and the brakes
2:32:31
spot is Wardlow. After
2:32:33
a backdrop through a windshield and a duplex
2:32:36
on a car hood, Wardlow
2:32:38
hits Hobbs with a plastic drink palette.
2:32:41
And they go to the break and
2:32:45
they made these guys street fight
2:32:48
through the break, in
2:32:50
the back of the building, in a picture and
2:32:52
picture box, it's only eighteen inches
2:32:55
diagon along my seventy two inch
2:32:57
screen. And no
2:32:59
audio. So
2:33:01
for most people watching a television, then
2:33:04
the little box with the audio of all
2:33:06
get your fucking condoms
2:33:09
and goddamn anal lube today
2:33:11
at Walgreens? And
2:33:14
when they come back to the
2:33:16
full program, they're
2:33:18
doing the deal where they hold each other lightly
2:33:20
and power walk through the arena to get to
2:33:22
the ring. Like, the bruiser brody and Abdullah
2:33:25
in Japan in eighty eight. They'll just walk.
2:33:27
They'll just lay hands on each other and
2:33:29
walk through the crowd. And
2:33:31
both of them immediately get in the fucking
2:33:34
ring and no sell each other's spine
2:33:36
busters. Well, that was fucking brilliant. What
2:33:40
did you either one of you hope to accomplish
2:33:42
by that and who was the goddamn agent
2:33:45
Maybe you didn't tell him you were gonna do it.
2:33:48
I don't know. But
2:33:51
that's brilliant too. To
2:33:53
not sell either guy's spine buster,
2:33:57
it doesn't make you look big and bad.
2:33:59
It makes the other guy look fucking
2:34:01
shitty, both of you. Because
2:34:05
anything that you either one of you
2:34:07
the way you look due to the other guy
2:34:10
he should register, he should sell, it
2:34:12
should hurt. I don't care how big he is.
2:34:14
We're talking about fucking trains colliding
2:34:17
here. There's gonna be some fucking damage.
2:34:21
And then they do the one two in the ring and
2:34:23
Wardlow's punches are shit. And
2:34:26
their trade was blah. It needs to
2:34:28
be big. They were
2:34:30
trading like like weights. It was too
2:34:32
fast. There was no registering and selling.
2:34:34
There was no body language. You draw
2:34:37
back and you swing from the fences and
2:34:39
you swing for the fences Bam. Any
2:34:41
other guy fucking registers it
2:34:43
and rocks back and comes back from downtown
2:34:45
Bam. Oh, shit. Any
2:34:48
thing these guys do needs to
2:34:50
be bigger, not the
2:34:52
same, or smaller. And
2:34:54
at that point, the fans there was no
2:34:56
pop when when Wardlow
2:34:59
also the
2:35:01
f ten don't
2:35:03
rip off the name of your Finnish, especially
2:35:06
if you're a babyface from the biggest goddamn
2:35:08
star in business because then that just
2:35:10
calls attention to him. Wardlow
2:35:13
hits his f ten and gets a two
2:35:15
count and there's no pop. Because
2:35:17
they're by no s not to finish. They didn't sell
2:35:19
a spinebuster or whatever the fuck. And
2:35:22
then the fans started chanting, we want
2:35:24
tables, so there's two supposed top
2:35:26
stars in the ring, and the fans
2:35:28
are chanting for the furniture. Because
2:35:33
all they're looking at is a stunt show. This was
2:35:36
not made to mean anything. It
2:35:38
was a disservice to these guys. And
2:35:40
these guys are both so green, they
2:35:42
may not even realize that this booking is
2:35:45
goddamn rotten and abysmal. And
2:35:47
that they don't know what they're doing and nobody's
2:35:49
apparently telling them. If they are
2:35:51
telling them and nobody's listening, So
2:35:55
then Hobbs, Wardlow
2:35:59
goes to powerbombing. And
2:36:02
Hobbs slips out by going over
2:36:04
Wardlow's back. But instead of landing
2:36:06
on his feet, he stumbles and goes down to
2:36:08
his knees because he's three hundred fucking
2:36:10
pounds. Any
2:36:13
awkwardly went into the spot they were trying?
2:36:15
They should have worked the whole match on can
2:36:18
Wardlow get Hobbs up to power
2:36:20
bombing. Because
2:36:22
it's not just the weight, it's weight that's
2:36:24
fighting back. And
2:36:28
instead, not only did
2:36:30
they establish they can spine buster each other
2:36:32
with no problem and neither one's gonna fucking
2:36:34
be hurt by it, but then
2:36:38
Wardlow establishes that he can pick
2:36:40
Hobbs up for the power bomb anytime he wants,
2:36:42
but Hobbs Doing array ministerial
2:36:45
spot goes over his back and slips down to his feet
2:36:47
and falls and looks like a stumble bomb, because they shouldn't
2:36:49
have been doing that to begin with. That's for hundred
2:36:51
eighty pound people. And
2:36:54
then Hobbs
2:36:57
the spot was that Hobbs gonna shove
2:37:00
ward low off into the ropes just a double
2:37:02
hand shove, and he caught him
2:37:04
coming off with a spine buster again.
2:37:06
A, why it didn't phase him before?
2:37:10
And b, you're gonna
2:37:12
drop behind the guy, turn around, do
2:37:14
a double handed shove. This other three
2:37:17
hundred pound guy is gonna fly backwards.
2:37:19
Ten feet come back off the ropes and
2:37:21
into your spine buster because he's out of control
2:37:23
from that. What
2:37:26
the fuck these guys need to be in goddamn
2:37:28
class? And he and
2:37:31
then he fucking followed
2:37:33
the second spine buster up that by the
2:37:35
way, they sold
2:37:37
that one. Wardlow sold
2:37:40
that one. And then
2:37:42
he grabbed Wardlow's leg and
2:37:44
rolled him over and pushed him to the ropes again,
2:37:46
double hand shove and get him a second spine
2:37:48
buster. It's fuck it. It's
2:37:51
not even laziness. He's not trying to be
2:37:53
lazy. It's just lost opportunity.
2:37:55
Hobbs. You're wasting
2:37:58
the idea. Don't
2:38:00
just lack it basically pushing backwards
2:38:02
into the rope if you're gonna do and
2:38:05
if you're gonna do two spine busters, especially
2:38:07
after motherfucker didn't sell your first one,
2:38:10
do three in a row. The three amigos.
2:38:13
And if you're gonna do a series, make
2:38:16
it count. You either
2:38:18
shoot him off to the ropes hard with all
2:38:20
you've got or you reverse an arm whip
2:38:22
and you shoot him off hard and you catch him
2:38:24
and you plant him with the spine buster
2:38:26
and then you pop up and grab that
2:38:28
leg and roll him up by the leg. And
2:38:31
grab the fucking left arm and
2:38:33
shoot him off hard from the middle
2:38:35
of the ring. Don't back him up. Keep him going.
2:38:37
He's off balance. And you hit him with
2:38:39
the second one. Boom. And
2:38:41
he lands and he turns over in his hands and
2:38:43
knees. He's holding his ribs and there you can hook
2:38:46
him in a front face lock and pull him up to
2:38:48
his feet. And shoot him again
2:38:50
by his arm hard, but five or six
2:38:52
feet to the ropes, where you don't even have
2:38:54
to let go of him and jerking back into your
2:38:56
fucking bearhood. And hit a third
2:38:58
spine buster. Boom.
2:39:01
And then you go for the fucking cover,
2:39:03
hook the one leg, one, two,
2:39:05
and he either kicks out if
2:39:07
he's goddamn still should
2:39:10
be in that good a condition or he
2:39:12
gets his leg on the fucking ropes and
2:39:15
breaks the fucking but that's
2:39:18
explosiveness and aggression
2:39:20
and physicality that
2:39:23
you could have uncorked and done
2:39:25
the same thing you just did by wandering
2:39:27
through it and being awkward and shoving
2:39:30
guys around that they shouldn't go where you're
2:39:32
fucking shoving them. And
2:39:37
then they went to the floor. And
2:39:40
Hobbes pulls a table out. And
2:39:42
while he's setting it up and
2:39:44
finding the table, setting it up put in the right
2:39:46
place, he lets Wardlow recover for no
2:39:48
apparent reason. Because he could
2:39:50
have just kept on the fucking guy that he was beaten
2:39:53
up, but instead he let him go so he could go find
2:39:55
a table. Because the people are chatting
2:39:57
for furniture anyway. Furniture's most important
2:39:59
talent on the roster. And
2:40:02
then he puts Hobbs or
2:40:05
no. I'm sorry. Wardlow obviously
2:40:07
recovers and puts Hobbs on the table that
2:40:09
Hobbs just set up and
2:40:11
got on the top rope and did a swanton
2:40:14
and swan toned Hobbs threw
2:40:16
the table off the top rope through
2:40:18
to the floor for a
2:40:21
two Jesus,
2:40:23
but it looked great. It
2:40:26
looked great. So why do it
2:40:28
and then go two more minutes and lose?
2:40:31
You moron. So
2:40:41
it wasn't to finish or it wasn't the thing
2:40:43
that foiled the baby face. It
2:40:45
was just a spot High
2:40:48
injury risk and nobody will give a shit
2:40:50
because it didn't play part in the decision
2:40:52
of the match. So
2:40:56
then Wardlow power bombs, Hobbs on
2:40:58
the floor, and both
2:41:00
of them were down for and then they get
2:41:03
up and go up to the stage. And
2:41:05
Wardlow's gonna try to power bomb Hobbs
2:41:07
off the stage. By the way, Wardlow, the babyface.
2:41:11
And suddenly, QT Marshall
2:41:13
shows up and hits Wardlow in
2:41:15
the back with a chair, and Wardlow no
2:41:18
sells it. Turns around
2:41:20
and grabs him by the guzzle pipe, and
2:41:23
in QT kicks Wardlow into balls,
2:41:25
and down he drops. And
2:41:28
QT has a chair and wardlows there
2:41:30
holding his nuts, looking at him and he fucking
2:41:32
hits him, whacks him with the chair. And
2:41:35
I don't think he hit him a second time. And
2:41:38
then QT goes over and picks Hobbs up
2:41:40
because the Hobbs is just a piece of shit laying around.
2:41:43
Picks him up, and then thanks to QT,
2:41:45
they both power bomb Wardlow off
2:41:47
the stage into the crash pad pit.
2:41:50
Which, by the way,
2:41:52
they've changed their structure.
2:41:55
It didn't go poof. It
2:41:57
was covered up with Bolsa wood instead
2:41:59
of a sheet, and I don't think
2:42:01
it was air inflated. I believe they moved
2:42:03
up styrofoam. If I had to guess.
2:42:07
And then Wardlow was counted down for
2:42:09
the ten count and a false count anywhere
2:42:11
match. And
2:42:13
Hobbs is the new champion because
2:42:16
of q t, Marshall. Who
2:42:19
has been presented as a fekless
2:42:21
in effect actual comedy job
2:42:23
figure for the entire run of
2:42:25
the promotion, and
2:42:28
suddenly comes out there and single
2:42:30
handedly helps his little buddy Powerhouse
2:42:33
Hobbs beat the big
2:42:35
bad war low for the belt. This
2:42:37
was the worst way possible to
2:42:40
put the belt on Hobbs or to have
2:42:42
Hobbs fucking win
2:42:45
and you can't tell me that
2:42:48
they couldn't have made some something out
2:42:50
of Wardlow missing that goddamn
2:42:52
swanton through
2:42:54
the table and Hobbes pen and him there
2:42:58
and give Wardlow an out instead of
2:43:00
just this Disgusting
2:43:03
heat kind of finish that gets heat on the promotion
2:43:05
for its goofiness, and nobody
2:43:07
gives a shit about QT, and this coming from
2:43:09
somebody who saw a bright
2:43:12
future for him about
2:43:14
fifteen years ago. And
2:43:19
at Hobbs, it just becomes a fucking
2:43:21
funky. You is
2:43:25
is this is he now gonna be Hobbes's
2:43:27
manager? So
2:43:30
they think that that is I
2:43:33
I don't I honestly
2:43:35
don't know how the fuck unless
2:43:37
QT Marshall had pictures
2:43:41
or documentation that Tony on
2:43:43
has been doing business with the sand
2:43:45
and eastern terrorists
2:43:48
that this would be allowed to happen.
2:43:51
Your thoughts? I
2:43:53
mean, there's so much to talk about here. Again,
2:43:55
this was a horrible follow-up to the pay per
2:43:57
view. The paper he was the first
2:44:00
positive thing to happen award low in a
2:44:02
while. That's out the window
2:44:04
now. He's lost again. Oh,
2:44:07
someone cheated the hell hops. Yeah. But it was q
2:44:09
t, Marshall.
2:44:11
You said he's been treated like a job figure since
2:44:13
the beginning. No. He was also treated like a philanthropist
2:44:15
for a few weeks, and then his wife
2:44:18
was on TV. Remember that? That's
2:44:20
right. He was a philanthropist or philanthropist.
2:44:23
Foladolist or whatever. But he had the
2:44:25
faction oh, not the faction. What were their names?
2:44:28
The fact no. The factory. The factory. They
2:44:30
were the factory. He had the factory.
2:44:33
They tried to do things with Cody and
2:44:35
Agogo. That's years ago
2:44:37
at this point. Nothing's been going
2:44:39
on. We've seen QT do plenty of promos.
2:44:43
He's fine for a Mark Sterling. He's
2:44:46
not someone should be the mouthpiece for a
2:44:49
will habs
2:44:50
or whoever the monster heal that they're
2:44:52
trying to do something with Soon as
2:44:54
you have QT's the manager, the monster
2:44:57
loses steam. We've seen
2:44:59
him on TV. We know who he is. Ward
2:45:02
looks like a jerk off. That advice
2:45:04
you gave him months ago about calling
2:45:06
WWE. 203,
2:45:08
the stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Actually,
2:45:10
I I can't I can't give him Lauren Titus's
2:45:13
number anymore.
2:45:14
But the point is, that isn't
2:45:16
even a joke anymore. And I don't even know if they
2:45:18
would see him the same way they saw months ago. Look
2:45:20
at the way all this has been handled. This
2:45:23
is how this show ended. For no
2:45:25
good reason, a street fight. After
2:45:28
the TNT champion allegedly had his gear
2:45:30
and his belt stolen, there's a brand new
2:45:32
belt there ready to go, days
2:45:34
later, and then
2:45:38
a street fight with a bad crash pet.
2:45:40
You didn't even talk about how bad it looked. It
2:45:42
was it it was more obvious to
2:45:44
me. think I think Bolsa would over
2:45:46
styrofoam sounds kinda like a fucking
2:45:49
Micky mouse
2:45:50
operation. I'm sorry didn't do it justice.
2:45:52
It was worse than the Jericho crash pad.
2:45:55
I'll put it that way. And there was no high
2:45:57
distance to come from. So I I don't know.
2:45:59
I think I think it's worse when they bounce
2:46:02
and and the thing goes poof and they
2:46:04
bounce rather than when just You
2:46:06
know, it's obviously forgot about the type
2:46:08
of cushioned material. I forgot about the
2:46:10
bounce. Yeah. The bounce he
2:46:12
has. This was a horrible end to a horrible show
2:46:14
they treated Wardlow. They booked Wardlow
2:46:16
into the ground because Tony doesn't know how
2:46:19
to book. They have
2:46:21
misused Hobbs for a long time because Tony
2:46:23
doesn't know how to book. QT
2:46:25
is back on the show because
2:46:27
Tony likes him and Tony doesn't
2:46:29
know how to book. The show's
2:46:31
been falling apart lately because Tony doesn't
2:46:33
know how to
2:46:34
book. More and more
2:46:35
people. What do you think the real reason
2:46:38
for their dire situation is?
2:46:40
The real reason for the dire situation is
2:46:42
Tony Kahn thinks he could book.
2:46:44
And Tony Kahn thinks he's good at this.
2:46:46
Tony Kahn thinks he has this. And
2:46:52
I have a tough time believing that anyone
2:46:54
who deals with him on a regular basis and I know
2:46:56
a few. Thinks
2:46:58
that he is good at this. He's
2:47:01
got the money to do it, but he is
2:47:03
showing on a weekly basis that
2:47:05
he does not know how to format or
2:47:08
how to put together a good wrestling
2:47:10
television show. Again, there's
2:47:12
a mini audience They just
2:47:14
want to see their favorites have matches, where
2:47:17
nothing matches. Did you say a mini
2:47:19
audience or a mini audience? A
2:47:21
mini audience. There may be mini audience
2:47:23
too that wants that kind of wrestling.
2:47:26
But if that's what you're catering to, you see what you're
2:47:28
gonna get. And This is another
2:47:31
miserable show.
2:47:33
Well, how many people watch this miserable
2:47:36
program, Brian?
2:47:39
This week's AEW Show,
2:47:42
March eighth, was viewed
2:47:44
by eight hundred and fifty eight thousand
2:47:46
viewers. Now that
2:47:48
sounds shitty, but that's about twenty thousand
2:47:50
better than last week, isn't it? That's right. I think
2:47:52
last week was eight thirty three or somewhere around
2:47:54
there? So what was the
2:47:56
the process of
2:47:57
elimination? Who who ran
2:48:00
them off the quickest this week?
2:48:02
Well, let's go to these quarter hour breakdowns.
2:48:04
These were compiled by Brandon Thurston,
2:48:06
WrestleManiaX. Eight
2:48:08
to eight fifteen, segment one, Orange
2:48:10
Cassidy versus J. Lethal with picture
2:48:12
and picture, nine
2:48:14
hundred and sixty three thousand viewers.
2:48:17
So, sums
2:48:19
going on, they're not even starting over
2:48:21
a million anymore. Are the big bangers
2:48:24
letting us down or if people kind of
2:48:26
Realize that it's gonna go downhill
2:48:29
quick these days and just skipping it entirely.
2:48:31
What is it a month straight? You started the show with
2:48:34
Orange Cassidy? Yeah. Well,
2:48:37
I just answered my own question, didn't it? Okay.
2:48:39
Go ahead. You've seen the same thing from him
2:48:41
for month straight. Segment two,
2:48:43
eight fifteen to eight
2:48:44
thirty, the last four minutes
2:48:46
of Orange Cassidy versus Jay lethal, the
2:48:49
post match with Jeff Jarrod. And
2:48:52
the best friends. The powerhouse
2:48:54
Hobbs backstage promo, as
2:48:57
well as Ricky Starks' live promo,
2:48:59
which is Robinson running in. Nine
2:49:02
hundred and sixty two thousand viewers.
2:49:07
So they they lost a thousand
2:49:09
Sun of a bitch. Maybe
2:49:12
Tony's sent
2:49:14
out people to fucking snatch the remote controls
2:49:17
away from the
2:49:19
the people's hands. So the
2:49:22
ones that started, they were invested in
2:49:24
old fucking dip shit.
2:49:26
And let's see if they stuck around from there.
2:49:28
Segment three, eight
2:49:31
thirty to eight forty five PM. Ruby
2:49:34
SoHo's live promo as
2:49:36
well as Ruby SoHo versus Sky Blue
2:49:38
with picture and picture The
2:49:40
post match angle with Saraya,
2:49:43
Tony Storm, spray paint, and
2:49:45
Willow
2:49:46
Nightingale, as well as Adam
2:49:48
Page's backstage promo were named Moxley
2:49:50
Good. Good. Lord, a lot of busy fifteen
2:49:52
minutes. Nine hundred and fifty
2:49:54
seven thousand viewers. Okay.
2:49:58
And they're only down another
2:50:00
five
2:50:00
thousand. Where does the cliff
2:50:02
come? Because this ain't
2:50:04
adding up to be good for the last couple
2:50:06
of segments. Segment four,
2:50:09
eight forty five to nine PM. MJP's
2:50:13
backstage promo, FTR's
2:50:16
live promo,
2:50:18
J. Cargill's backstage promo,
2:50:20
And the beginning of AR
2:50:22
Fox in top flight versus the Jericho
2:50:24
Appreciation Society, eight
2:50:27
hundred and eighty four thousand viewers.
2:50:30
Alright. That's sixty
2:50:34
they lost seventy
2:50:36
five thousand people are thereabouts going
2:50:39
into the
2:50:40
nine o'clock hour. Segment
2:50:42
five, nine PM to nine fifteen PM,
2:50:45
The continuation of AR fox and top flight
2:50:48
versus the Jericho Appreciation Society with
2:50:50
picture and
2:50:50
picture, and remember they went to
2:50:52
break like
2:50:53
two minutes after the top of the hour.
2:50:55
As well as the post match angle with
2:50:57
the elite and the House of Black,
2:51:00
eight hundred and thirty eight thousand viewers.
2:51:03
Good. Okay. So they lost another
2:51:06
forty six thousand there.
2:51:08
So between the
2:51:10
eight thirty to eight forty five, and
2:51:14
nine o'clock to nine fifteen time
2:51:16
slot. They've lost a hundred and twenty thousand people.
2:51:18
Segment six,
2:51:21
nine fifteen and nine thirty PM. Tony
2:51:25
Kahn's backstage announcement Brian
2:51:28
Danielsons promo and
2:51:30
the beginning of the Dark Order versus
2:51:32
the Blackpool Combat Club Seven
2:51:35
hundred and seventy eight thousand viewers.
2:51:38
Jesus. Alright.
2:51:40
There I can't do math this big. Wait a minute.
2:51:42
Twenty two. There
2:51:44
is another sixty thousand
2:51:47
people they lost. So they are now down
2:51:50
from the quarter three to
2:51:52
quarter six A
2:51:54
hundred and eighty thousand people.
2:51:56
Go ahead. Quarter seven.
2:51:59
Nine thirty to nine forty five.
2:52:02
The dark order versus the Blackpool Combat
2:52:04
Club continued with picture and picture,
2:52:07
as well as the post match angle with Adam Page,
2:52:10
The acclaimed Anjero appreciation Society
2:52:12
Backstage Angle,
2:52:15
seven hundred and twenty eight thousand viewers.
2:52:17
Ouch. And I I must have zipped
2:52:19
through some of that too, but so did fifty
2:52:22
thousand other people, we are now
2:52:24
From the start of the program
2:52:26
down a hundred and thirty five,
2:52:28
no. Two hundred. Two
2:52:31
hundred and thirty five thousand people
2:52:33
from the start of the
2:52:34
program. Hey, you bring up the acclaim
2:52:36
that I had to mention this to you. was watching CBS
2:52:38
News the other day in the morning. That
2:52:40
a commercial for PC
2:52:41
Richard. Do you know PC Richard? It's a
2:52:44
electronics chain up here in
2:52:45
the northeast? I think I've seen billboards
2:52:47
when I've been up that way. If a commercial
2:52:50
for who's in the middle of commercial is like one of the
2:52:52
happy salespeople or happy PC Richard's
2:52:54
people. Anthony Bowen's. He
2:52:57
must have filmed this a while back, but all of a sudden I
2:52:59
wanted it. Like, is that Anthony Bowen? And then it came
2:53:01
on again later. I was like, that is Anthony Bowen. And
2:53:03
I looked it up. It was Anthony Bowen's.
2:53:06
Did he really work there or was he just in the
2:53:08
commercial? I think he was just an actor and they needed
2:53:11
people to be smiling, happy,
2:53:13
nice, p c Richard's employees and
2:53:16
They found him and they didn't want to
2:53:18
take him titles. So
2:53:20
let's get back to the ratings the final quarter
2:53:22
hour nine forty five to ten PM.
2:53:25
Ward low versus powerhouse Hobbs?
2:53:28
Falls anywhere for the TNT championship.
2:53:31
Seven hundred and fifty six thousand
2:53:34
viewers. So they
2:53:36
managed to get back twenty eight thousand
2:53:38
to see Hobbs
2:53:41
and Wardlow, and they had to
2:53:43
see what they saw.
2:53:46
And it it hurt both guys. It
2:53:48
hurt both guys. Could you and
2:53:50
the key dumb for the record, the key demo,
2:53:52
know people some people hate hearing about it, but it's a
2:53:54
reality. It's a real thing. They began
2:53:57
at three eighty five. They
2:53:59
peaked early in show at four thirty six by
2:54:01
the end of it, it was a three fifteen that's
2:54:03
below the usual trend line for where
2:54:05
that is even.
2:54:08
Well, anyway.
2:54:11
So they managed in an hour and
2:54:15
Basically, in an hour and thirty minutes, they
2:54:17
ran off two hundred and
2:54:20
thirty five thousand people and
2:54:22
for the last fifteen minutes managed to get twenty
2:54:24
eight thousand thousand of them back.
2:54:26
Laurie
2:54:28
Hallumut. Can a booker who's completely lost?
2:54:32
Hear voices
2:54:35
that are saying things to
2:54:37
improve his product? Or are they convinced that
2:54:39
they've got
2:54:39
it? From
2:54:40
your experience. I mean, you were around
2:54:43
I mean, you've always pointed at the positives of
2:54:45
dusty stuff even when people pointed at negatives
2:54:47
like eighty eight.
2:54:49
But when a black when a black doesn't
2:54:51
have late late eighty seven was
2:54:53
worse than early eighty eight. Late
2:54:56
eighty seven and first three months of eighty
2:54:58
eight were not good, but still
2:55:01
I've never been around number
2:55:04
one, I've never been around a booker who had
2:55:06
never booked before and had
2:55:08
never been in the wrestling business. There never
2:55:10
has been a booker who started booking
2:55:12
when he had never ever been in the wrestling business
2:55:14
in any capacity before. And
2:55:17
I've never been around a situation where anybody
2:55:19
would have been able to do this for so long
2:55:21
without somebody firing them. Because
2:55:25
a crocket would have fired dusty if it had got
2:55:27
that bad, I've
2:55:29
never I mean, I know I've I've
2:55:31
heard stories of When
2:55:34
territories fell apart, Buck
2:55:36
Robly was on the shit or, you
2:55:38
know, things just weren't
2:55:41
happening and and you know, it
2:55:43
was a mess and the territory was soon
2:55:45
to go out of business. I've never been involved in
2:55:48
a situation like that where the booker
2:55:50
just completely lost track what the fuck
2:55:53
or they couldn't get any talent. But,
2:55:56
you know, there's
2:55:59
never been a situation where
2:56:01
any booker, writer, creative team
2:56:03
or whatever was
2:56:05
not at
2:56:07
risk of getting fired if they
2:56:10
didn't do the right thing
2:56:12
or decent business or kept doing stupid
2:56:14
shit or whatever. And this is the case now because
2:56:18
Tony's also the boss. Even
2:56:20
Vince wasn't even the only Vince
2:56:22
was never the booker booker. Pat
2:56:25
Patterson was the booker. Advance had creative
2:56:27
teams. He was the final say, but he wasn't doing
2:56:29
it all himself, and he could be
2:56:31
reasoned with in some instances. This
2:56:35
is a guy who if he does
2:56:37
listen to anybody, it's for the
2:56:40
circle that he will listen to to
2:56:43
here their self indulgent
2:56:45
ideas pitched that, you know,
2:56:47
which is doesn't fit the rest of the program.
2:56:49
Anyway, it is usually the shits too.
2:56:53
The older ones ever really come in and
2:56:55
called his own shots for any length of time and
2:56:57
had all been good was punk. So
2:57:01
this is a situation that's never happened
2:57:04
before in wrestling at this scale.
2:57:07
You've had indie promoters that would promote
2:57:10
indie shows that insisted on
2:57:13
doing their booking and wrestling and being
2:57:15
their own champion and popping cord and whatever
2:57:17
the fuck, and it didn't make any difference because nobody
2:57:19
knew they were there. But this is
2:57:21
goddamn out in front of everybody. And
2:57:24
it needs see, it needs to be
2:57:26
putting a plain brown wrapper.
2:57:29
Anyway, Well, the big question,
2:57:31
Brian, is, what in the world is going on
2:57:34

wherever you find, your favorite podcasts,
2:59:24
The mothership. Well,
2:59:27
speaking on just needing new stuff, the
2:59:29
WWE does bad. They've got a bit
2:59:31
of we're gonna talk about SmackDown in a second.
2:59:34
Won't take long for the good stuff.
2:59:36
But as
2:59:38
usual, with the WWE, they're
2:59:41
making more news
2:59:44
and more people are talking about what's
2:59:46
going on in the office, the corporate
2:59:49
leadership behind the scenes or whatever.
2:59:52
And this topic came
2:59:54
up couple of days ago. It was reported in the
2:59:56
news. Actually, this Article
2:59:58
was sent to me first by a listener
3:00:00
Stacey from downstairs who
3:00:03
sent this off CNBC
3:00:06
dot com and then other people have followed since
3:00:08
then. The WWE talking
3:00:11
was state gambling regulators to
3:00:14
legalize betting on high
3:00:16
profile matches. Oh
3:00:20
my god, so much is wrong with this.
3:00:23
How do we know where to start? But
3:00:25
let's start with some of the article. Brian, have you
3:00:27
read this? Well well, we can we can
3:00:29
read it to the people anyway. I know you've kept
3:00:32
up with some of the CNBC. That's where your
3:00:34
man Barber works. Right?
3:00:36
That's where David Faber works. And I actually saw
3:00:38
this covered on the air. And then I also read
3:00:40
the article, so I'm pretty up to date
3:00:42
with at least their coverage of it. Well,
3:00:44
folks, it says WWE is working
3:00:46
with the accounting firm, e y.
3:00:49
I've wondered what Eric Young was doing these
3:00:51
days. To secure
3:00:53
scripted match results in hopes
3:00:55
it will convince regulators there's
3:00:57
no chance of results leaking to the public
3:01:00
said the people to people who
3:01:02
asked not to be named because
3:01:05
the discussions are private. Accounting
3:01:07
firms PWC and EY
3:01:10
also known as Ernst and Young have
3:01:12
historically worked with award shows including
3:01:15
the Academy Awards and the Emmys
3:01:18
to keep results a secret. And
3:01:20
I think they also worked with the Tonight Show
3:01:22
for the Cornette, the Magnificent Spotts.
3:01:24
Right? When they had the answers
3:01:26
in Funk and Waggles ports
3:01:30
in a mayonnaise jar. Anyway,
3:01:36
Again, WWE executives
3:01:39
have cited the Oscars betting as
3:01:41
a template to convince regulators, gambling
3:01:45
on scripted matches is safe.
3:01:48
And still why that says, well, Academy Awards
3:01:51
voting results are known by a select few before
3:01:53
they're announced publicly, they
3:01:55
aren't scripted by writers. Even
3:01:58
if regulators allow gambling, betting
3:02:00
companies would have to decide if they're willing
3:02:02
to place odds on WWE matches
3:02:04
even if it's legalized. And
3:02:07
apparently, they've already applied in Indiana. This
3:02:09
was a deal on the news here because we're right across
3:02:11
the river, but they're targeting
3:02:14
Michigan, Colorado, and Indiana as
3:02:16
potential states to pursue legalization.
3:02:20
And the bottom line of this
3:02:22
whole thing is, it
3:02:25
says, if WWE succeeds
3:02:27
in its bid to legalize gambling on matches,
3:02:30
it could open the door for legalized betting
3:02:32
on other guarded secret scripted
3:02:34
events such as future
3:02:37
character deaths and TV series.
3:02:41
And it would alter how matches are produced
3:02:43
and how story lines are created.
3:02:46
WWE executives have
3:02:48
proposed that scripted results of matches
3:02:51
be locked in months ahead of time,
3:02:54
The wrestlers themselves wouldn't know whether
3:02:56
they were winning or losing until shortly before
3:02:59
match takes place. For
3:03:02
example, the WWE could lock the results
3:03:04
of WrestleMania's main event months ahead
3:03:06
of time. Based on a scripted
3:03:09
storyline that hinged to the winner of January's
3:03:11
royal rumble, betting on
3:03:13
the match could then take place between the end
3:03:15
of the royal rumble it up to days or even
3:03:17
hours before WrestleMania, when
3:03:20
the wrestlers and others in the show's
3:03:22
production would learn the
3:03:24
results. What
3:03:27
the fuck? For
3:03:30
one thing, how big
3:03:32
is that circle of trust Brian last?
3:03:36
Because before if it was just Vance, well
3:03:39
then I'd say that there's a
3:03:41
pretty good possibility that you could keep
3:03:43
that a secret because half the time he
3:03:45
would change his mind. Or
3:03:49
we need to get feedback from somebody to whine
3:03:51
them. I don't wanna do the job or, like, when
3:03:54
they just hit broadcaster, kick
3:03:56
one straight through the uprights, so
3:03:58
he wouldn't he would get disqualified and wouldn't
3:04:00
win, so he wouldn't be the one to work with
3:04:02
Bray Wyatt. I don't
3:04:04
think that one was planned out way in advance.
3:04:09
What about We just talked
3:04:11
about the rivals episode with Siena
3:04:13
and Rock. When
3:04:16
they decided to do that, that
3:04:20
deal was already in place. We're gonna promote
3:04:22
the first match for a year. You're gonna win
3:04:24
the when rock, you're gonna win the second
3:04:26
when Scena, and we're not gonna do
3:04:28
a third, and that way it's still even. That's
3:04:32
if you get a big money match in wrestling,
3:04:35
whether it's the territory
3:04:38
days or now, It
3:04:42
requires the cooperation and
3:04:44
willingness of the participants. When
3:04:48
it how many it's become a ribbed with
3:04:50
the hoe Coconut would say that don't work for me,
3:04:52
brother. What happens if there's an injury and you have
3:04:55
to call an audible? Or something
3:04:57
happens. The wrestler gets hit in the head with a coke
3:04:59
bottle, falls to the ground, and the guy has to
3:05:01
pin him. You know, he's just right there. But besides
3:05:03
that, I mean, it's it's
3:05:05
wrong from number one and and we can talk
3:05:08
about any of these. You wanna talk about in whatever order.
3:05:10
But it's not wrong from number one. The circle
3:05:12
of trust has to be bigger than
3:05:14
just one or two people and then
3:05:18
especially if it's the important matches
3:05:20
and if somebody's crazy enough to bet a large
3:05:22
amount of money, then you could literally be
3:05:25
crooked and make a fucking fortune in a short
3:05:27
period of time without anybody even knowing about
3:05:29
it. And then if they caught you, well, what the fuck?
3:05:31
You're going to live in Bolivia. So
3:05:34
how many people are gonna and secondly, to
3:05:37
not tell the talent That
3:05:39
was a training exercise I did
3:05:41
in OVW, where
3:05:43
we'd have the fans literally,
3:05:46
legitimately vote Amongst
3:05:49
six baby faces and six heels,
3:05:51
what matches do you wanna see? And I would
3:05:53
tell we'd count them up right
3:05:55
before the show started. This was at a church
3:05:58
gym show with a hundred and fifty votes.
3:06:01
And we would make the matches based on that,
3:06:03
and I would Send the match over
3:06:05
to the other locker room because the guys weren't together.
3:06:08
They'd be facing heels and I'd say, okay,
3:06:11
first matches. Brian versus Jim,
3:06:13
Brian over. Give me eight minutes. You
3:06:16
do that for practice. You
3:06:19
don't do that in the biggest promotion in the world.
3:06:21
The guys have to know. It's
3:06:24
and and and as I said, In
3:06:27
most eras of wrestling,
3:06:29
going back to the fucking twenties and thirties,
3:06:33
the made of it wrestler's input
3:06:35
and agreement in
3:06:38
the match and and matches how they're
3:06:40
gonna go what the finishes are
3:06:42
gonna be to lead to a rematch whatever
3:06:44
that's crucial. You can't not
3:06:46
tell the main event at
3:06:48
WrestleMania Who's gonna
3:06:50
win three hours before they go into ring?
3:06:53
Fucking morons. This is more
3:06:55
example of the
3:06:58
Nikon influence or the
3:07:01
corporate world influence, they think
3:07:03
that they can just do anything. And
3:07:05
that it's just wrestling and that,
3:07:08
you know, the guys follow instructions. Sometimes
3:07:11
they do and sometimes they don't. And
3:07:13
just because they follow more instructions
3:07:15
now than they've followed ever before in history
3:07:17
of wrestling, doesn't mean
3:07:20
that you're not gonna have some guy say,
3:07:22
you know what? No. I'm not doing
3:07:24
a fucking job right now. It makes no fucking
3:07:26
sense. And it'd probably be
3:07:28
right. You're talking about all the reasons
3:07:30
it wouldn't work. Let's just say they did it.
3:07:33
Let's talk about how it would negatively impact
3:07:35
professional wrestling booking going forward.
3:07:39
Well, it would be insane because okay.
3:07:42
For people coming up with the ideas, then
3:07:45
Are those ideas gonna be accepted? Are
3:07:47
they gonna be declined? Or are they
3:07:49
gonna be taken under advisement? And you
3:07:51
never tell the writer whether you're gonna do it
3:07:53
or not? But
3:07:55
then if you start doing it, he's
3:07:58
gonna kinda recognize it. He's
3:08:00
gonna, well, maybe they're Maybe they are gonna
3:08:02
do what I asked them to do or suggested they
3:08:05
do or whatever them. It's it's idiocy.
3:08:10
Because just because now they've
3:08:12
created an atmosphere where before
3:08:15
in the territory days, if a match
3:08:17
was booked, Three
3:08:19
people or four people might know the result,
3:08:21
the people involved in it, the booker and the promoter,
3:08:24
now it's hundreds, it's
3:08:28
still the guys have the
3:08:30
guys are the only important ones.
3:08:33
The guys and the bookerslashmaker
3:08:38
are the only ones that have to fucking know.
3:08:40
The promoter doesn't even really have to know
3:08:43
If he trusts his booker and
3:08:46
none of the other boys need to know, And,
3:08:50
you know, I know some people are gonna all work
3:08:52
for television. Well, we've created that.
3:08:55
We shot TV for years in wrestling
3:08:57
without every member of the crew,
3:08:59
knowing the finish of the match,
3:09:02
so that's just situation we've
3:09:04
created where they think everybody has to
3:09:06
know. If you give the
3:09:09
crew the proper music cues and
3:09:11
you've got a producer in the truck that's telling
3:09:13
the director what's going on, You're
3:09:16
mostly covered, but the most important
3:09:19
people involved that need know the
3:09:21
finishes, to know how to work
3:09:23
the matches. Are
3:09:25
the wrestlers? How
3:09:28
do I fucking know if I'm the heel and I'm
3:09:30
gonna set up a match with some baby face?
3:09:32
How do I know how much to give him or
3:09:34
what kind of match to have? If don't know who's
3:09:37
gonna win, that's
3:09:39
ridiculous. So
3:09:42
it's not like they well, I know
3:09:44
they do it now because nobody knows any
3:09:46
difference, but it's not like you just
3:09:48
go out have the same match you would have with
3:09:50
a guy in that building regardless of what the
3:09:52
finish is. Not if you know what you're doing.
3:09:57
So it's it's just it's
3:09:59
there's plenty of opportunities for
3:10:02
people to misuse information There's
3:10:06
plenty of opportunity for
3:10:08
this to completely sabotage the
3:10:11
quality of the whatever quality is left
3:10:13
existing of the program in the matches?
3:10:18
It's insane. But
3:10:21
they're they're gonna they're gonna again compromise
3:10:23
the the quality of their product to
3:10:27
try to make money in this
3:10:29
ridiculous method because they
3:10:32
think that anybody
3:10:34
can be wrestlers and anybody can do this. And
3:10:36
the way it's being done now, you're almost correct.
3:10:39
But what you aspire to? No, that's
3:10:42
not correct. I mean,
3:10:44
how many things do you see wrong with it? Well,
3:10:47
so they're going state by state. They're
3:10:49
trying to get it legalized so you can bet
3:10:52
on these predetermined finishes. Yes.
3:10:55
Each each state has a gaming commission
3:10:57
and if they can you
3:11:00
know, get some of them
3:11:03
in Indiana and Michigan are not gonna be
3:11:05
like trying to get Nevada If
3:11:08
they get some of them, they can start a
3:11:10
groundswell of some description, I believe.
3:11:13
They they figure. Would that open it
3:11:15
up for AW to allow betting two?
3:11:17
Like, well, not betting, I guess for AW
3:11:19
matches to be bet on. Right? If
3:11:21
WWE gets it legalized, then it opens
3:11:24
it up for can you bet on small independent
3:11:26
shows? Technically, that you would
3:11:28
be able to, I guess, if anybody
3:11:30
was willing or he was regulating Who's
3:11:33
regulating the finishes? Or
3:11:35
is it just WWE? That see, that's the
3:11:37
thing. But now well now, but here's the thing. If
3:11:39
they're applying to the gaming commission, they're
3:11:41
they're applying for themselves and not on
3:11:43
behalf of all of professional wrestling. So
3:11:46
that'll open up a canopies there, but
3:11:49
they're not trying to blaze
3:11:51
the trail for everybody in the wrestling business for
3:11:53
the love of the game. They just wanna soak the suckers
3:11:56
for money from their own production.
3:11:59
Explain what you see the benefit of this
3:12:02
for WWE as being. They're gonna
3:12:04
make make money on people stupid
3:12:06
enough to bet on shit that they've already decided
3:12:08
what's gonna happen. And question is, You're
3:12:11
not betting on the winner, you're betting on, do you
3:12:13
know what they're gonna do or not? But
3:12:17
it would seem like a regardless
3:12:21
of how few people know
3:12:24
ahead of time who's
3:12:27
making a sucker bet and who's making legitimate
3:12:29
bet, there is an opportunity for
3:12:31
somebody to make money
3:12:33
with information
3:12:36
and who can keep their mouth shut in
3:12:38
the wrestling business anymore. So
3:12:42
who would be in the circle of trust? How would
3:12:44
those people be determined? Would
3:12:46
it be every match or just the big matches?
3:12:49
And then, I'm
3:12:51
sorry. But if you're trying
3:12:55
to tell me that
3:12:57
two guys are gonna go into the main event
3:12:59
at WrestleMania and not know what the finish
3:13:01
is till that day. I'm calling bullshit. And
3:13:03
the referee? Well, the
3:13:05
referee no. It's in this day
3:13:08
and age, the referee's will do what they're told, but
3:13:10
You're telling me that you're gonna walk in and
3:13:13
and four o'clock on a day at WrestleMania and say,
3:13:15
Roman, I think we, you know, we're gonna have you drop
3:13:17
the title tonight. No.
3:13:19
It wouldn't be that. It wouldn't be that. It wouldn't be that. It wasn't
3:13:21
Roman. We haven't told you, but in this envelope,
3:13:23
which has been guarded for the last six months,
3:13:26
we wrote down the finish. And
3:13:28
here it that's what they should film. Here it is.
3:13:30
Here's what we wrote down six months ago.
3:13:33
That's what they're saying. Yeah. Well, that don't work
3:13:35
for me, brother. And
3:13:37
that's a thing. There is always
3:13:41
again, with the modern generation, they
3:13:43
just like to do what they're told except for
3:13:45
the broth. So that's why he draws a lot of money.
3:13:47
I haven't worked with Roman Reigns, don't know where
3:13:49
he sits. John Cena,
3:13:52
the rock, Brock, Steve
3:13:54
Austin, There would
3:13:56
have been negotiations going on
3:13:58
months beforehand if
3:14:01
they wanted any of those guys to do a job
3:14:03
at WrestleMania and they would be starting
3:14:05
to pitch them good reasons why
3:14:07
it was the right thing to do and
3:14:09
hope that some of those registered. It
3:14:12
wouldn't be a deal where the anybody
3:14:14
expected to walk in Austin
3:14:16
and Rock, WrestleMania. Okay, guys.
3:14:19
Match goes to ring two hours. Here's how we
3:14:21
want it. Fuck you. If
3:14:24
it's close to a group of people. That
3:14:28
doesn't include the wrestler. Is the
3:14:30
wrestler allowed to bet on the match? Could
3:14:35
a guy bet on himself or bet on his
3:14:37
opponent? Or against himself. Yeah. Theoretically,
3:14:40
possibly. That could happen at don't fucking
3:14:43
know because whole thing's crazy. But
3:14:45
again, it's insulting to the boys
3:14:48
to just assume that
3:14:50
if you have gotten to the point where you're a big enough
3:14:52
star to be the main event at WrestleMania and
3:14:54
that that before that match has
3:14:56
ever announced to the public, I'm
3:14:59
not talking about the finish as far as what so and
3:15:01
so is gonna take a fucking weed whacker and so
3:15:03
and so is gonna have brass nooks and they're gonna do this.
3:15:05
Now I'm talking about who's winning. And
3:15:08
if somebody dropping a fall, those
3:15:11
things are fucking known to
3:15:14
the talent, by the talent, sometimes
3:15:17
before they agree, to have the goddamn
3:15:19
match to begin with, and
3:15:21
the match that would have more interest is
3:15:24
not amongst yes. I'm sure Sami
3:15:27
is saying to do whatever he's asked to do.
3:15:29
And whoever that's not the matches
3:15:31
that gonna have the most interest, the match that would
3:15:33
have the most interest, is
3:15:36
if seen it was in main event or the rock
3:15:38
came back or Steve lost to was somehow
3:15:40
involved or whatever and those guys.
3:15:43
And if Brock sticks around long enough to do
3:15:45
another main event, You're
3:15:47
gonna have to convince them whoever's
3:15:50
losing before you announce the match because
3:15:52
you don't know whether they'll go for it or not.
3:16:00
Remember, I said for for not Not
3:16:02
for regional titles, but for for
3:16:05
world titles, important championships
3:16:07
in this business. The
3:16:09
guys always knew the date that they were losing
3:16:12
them because as a courtesy, if nothing
3:16:14
else, even if they had asked out of it. The
3:16:17
promoter told, okay. We're gonna take the
3:16:19
belt from you then in in
3:16:21
New York on the twenty fifth of February
3:16:24
blah blah blah Make
3:16:27
sure there's no issues, no problems before
3:16:29
they announce things to the public, and that's the way
3:16:31
it was done. If you were just Southern
3:16:33
tag team champions. Yeah. You walk in money. Yeah.
3:16:35
We're gonna drop the Switch's bells tonight. Okay.
3:16:38
Find whatever. But a a major
3:16:40
world champion any
3:16:42
type of legitimate, you
3:16:45
know, widely recognized title you
3:16:47
got everybody on same page
3:16:49
first. Do you think this
3:16:52
is something they really want or is this something
3:16:54
maybe more to show
3:16:56
a potential buyer And the story
3:16:58
is they're gonna meet with potential buyers for the first
3:17:00
time next month for a first round of
3:17:02
talks or bids Is
3:17:05
this something just to show, hey, look at some potential
3:17:08
future revenue? This company
3:17:10
can make we're already making inroads and
3:17:12
Indiana and another
3:17:14
places. Well,
3:17:17
again, Do
3:17:20
the sotties have a lot of
3:17:23
casinos? Are
3:17:26
they on the because here's the thing. Who are they
3:17:28
talking to? So
3:17:30
in in endeavor,
3:17:34
doesn't run casinos. They
3:17:36
got the UFC, Comcast, and
3:17:38
they've already taken themselves out of the bidding.
3:17:40
Well, yeah. But I'm just saying NBC, we've
3:17:42
talked about all these media companies, all
3:17:46
a bunch of companies, to
3:17:49
who is betting Attractive
3:17:52
too, would that be the casino
3:17:54
seems like a business societies would be involved
3:17:56
in? Maybe that's a
3:17:59
clue. And I mean, these shows, I
3:18:01
mean, both promotions actually. How
3:18:04
many DraftKings commercials do you see
3:18:06
during these shows? Talking specifically
3:18:09
about wrestling themed I
3:18:11
don't know what you would call it gambling options.
3:18:13
How does it say, well, I I
3:18:16
tune out DraftKings because I I didn't
3:18:18
know whether it was another video game or what
3:18:20
the fuck it is. I don't know anything about them.
3:18:22
And I tuned it out, but if it's betting
3:18:24
of some description, it's a gambling.
3:18:27
It's a gambling site. Yeah. Alright. But
3:18:29
are they gambling on AEW? Oh,
3:18:32
they're gonna bet pockets is gonna win
3:18:34
twenty five in a row? Oh,
3:18:37
no. It just it's the
3:18:39
chances for contamination
3:18:42
and corruption are
3:18:44
high it will
3:18:47
obviously have a detrimental effect
3:18:49
on the quality of the main matches and
3:18:52
promotion of the matches. If
3:18:55
the guys are in the dark about what's going on,
3:19:00
it's stupid. To begin
3:19:02
with because they're
3:19:04
talking about what
3:19:07
con game have you ever heard of that was successful
3:19:09
in the history of the world where they talked about it
3:19:11
being crooked to start out with. So
3:19:14
we're gonna start taking betting on crooked
3:19:16
shit. What the
3:19:21
I don't get it. Hey, just to wrap this up
3:19:23
for the record. So
3:19:25
this was from all out.
3:19:28
DraftKings had a sports book
3:19:30
pool, free twenty five thousand
3:19:33
dollars AW All Out Main Event
3:19:35
Pool. Pick the correct answers
3:19:37
by the start of the featured AEW All
3:19:40
Out Main Event Match. For a
3:19:42
shot to win, this guaranteed prize
3:19:44
pool. So,
3:19:46
I mean, they're already doing some kind of gambling right
3:19:48
there. What have you got? What
3:19:50
have you got to answer? Doesn't even
3:19:52
have the question here? See,
3:19:56
that's where they get you. You have answer the question,
3:19:58
but they never ask it. But it's twenty
3:20:00
five percent off that. Well,
3:20:06
we'll find out. You know what I'm betting
3:20:08
on? I'm betting on the nobody
3:20:11
liked this program they did. On
3:20:13
March the tenth, Friday night just hours
3:20:16
ago. Again,
3:20:21
We got the bloodline story and
3:20:23
bleh the bleh line story. And
3:20:26
I'm gonna zip through this fairly
3:20:29
briefly because there's I
3:20:31
don't even have any constructive criticism
3:20:33
for this anymore at this point. Like, you could
3:20:35
always pick out plenty of shit they should have done
3:20:37
in AEW, but here they should have just
3:20:40
torn a piece of paper up and started again.
3:20:42
All these programs look the
3:20:45
fucking. Same. The same thing happens.
3:20:47
The same things are said. With
3:20:51
with the exception of the Bloodline story,
3:20:54
you know, that's why I said they it's
3:20:56
almost like their motivation is. Let's
3:20:59
bore the fuck out of them like Johnny Ballantyne.
3:21:02
We'll bore the fuck at them for a half an hour, so
3:21:04
when we do something in last five minutes, they'll go
3:21:06
out of their minds. They
3:21:09
had a package again. Nobody does
3:21:11
packages like this company. The production
3:21:14
is incredible. The
3:21:16
turn of j iussaud when he came back
3:21:18
into the fold the other night. And
3:21:21
then Paul greets both
3:21:23
of them in the back coming in in their SUV
3:21:25
and Jay wants to know where Roman is.
3:21:28
Paul's telling him how proud he is ever now. I
3:21:30
wanna know if until Roman reigns, I'm here and
3:21:32
I'm gonna say what I need to say tonight in the ring.
3:21:36
Okay? And
3:21:38
then we immediately go to another
3:21:42
meaningless five way match
3:21:44
where the winner gets an intercontinental title
3:21:47
shot at WrestleMania. Somebody's
3:21:50
gonna say, well, that means it's not meaningless. No is
3:21:52
when there's just constantly multiple person
3:21:54
matches on this program
3:21:57
where they're gonna do moves to each other back
3:21:59
and forth and nobody's gonna remember
3:22:02
it the next day. That's meaningless.
3:22:05
Drew McEntire versus Carrying
3:22:07
Cross versus Xavier Woods versus
3:22:09
LA Night, or LA versus
3:22:12
Seamus. And
3:22:14
the whole thing is to get
3:22:16
Seamus and Drew in a at
3:22:19
cross purposes so they can have their elimination
3:22:21
match next week to determine
3:22:23
who's gonna face Gunther And
3:22:27
I gotta be honest with you, I think I'm probably looking
3:22:29
forward to Gunther and see us a little bit more,
3:22:31
but I think it'll be Gunther and Drew. They
3:22:33
were piping in because the fans
3:22:35
are standing up and was hearing this and I was watching
3:22:37
their lips. They were piping in triple threat.
3:22:40
Triple threat. But no one
3:22:42
was saying it. And
3:22:45
that tells you that tells you where the gambling
3:22:48
bookers or bookies, whatever you wanna call them at
3:22:50
this point. Consider what's happening in the United
3:22:52
States. If they piped it in, they they
3:22:55
didn't announce it. Well, maybe it's got
3:22:57
I don't know. Maybe it's what it's gonna be at WrestleMania
3:22:59
so they'll kill my Antis patient for Gunther's
3:23:02
match. Anyway, it was eleven
3:23:04
minutes into this program before the bell rang
3:23:06
and then it looked like half a battle royale
3:23:08
and the stories drew and see miss Will
3:23:10
they fight and they went a minute to the break. And
3:23:13
they came back and they did about another five minutes
3:23:16
and Imperium came out to watch and they went to
3:23:18
the break and they came back and
3:23:20
they went another four minutes or so
3:23:22
and basically I
3:23:24
figured at least maybe poor LA night won't
3:23:26
be the fall guy in this one. As
3:23:29
son of a gun wouldn't you know who won the pony, they
3:23:31
had to they had to beat two people
3:23:33
at the same time just so they could make sure to
3:23:35
beat LA Night. So Drew
3:23:38
and Seamus both hit kicks on
3:23:40
Woods in LA and pin both of them.
3:23:42
Even though same as seamuses, it
3:23:46
missed woods by at least a
3:23:48
foot. And
3:23:50
then they both pinned them at the same time and had
3:23:53
a log argument about who should be the
3:23:55
win the winner of the thing because
3:23:57
both of them won and who should
3:23:59
go on to WrestleMania. Hey.
3:24:03
Did I miss anything with that recap?
3:24:06
Just the piped in sound, at least I thought
3:24:08
it was piped in. Someone else could tell me I'm wrong, but
3:24:11
the piped in triple threat. Which
3:24:13
took away which like you just said took away my
3:24:16
hopes for a good Gunther match at Russell Brown.
3:24:18
I think somebody's on the pipe, whoever's
3:24:21
writing this, So then Paulie
3:24:23
was in the back with one of the girl interviewers, and
3:24:27
he does a promo about Cody. Who's
3:24:29
gotten involved in bloodline business. And
3:24:31
again, a great promo put Cody
3:24:33
over in his inimitable and
3:24:36
unique backhanded way But
3:24:38
he made you know, they're gonna smash Cody
3:24:41
with the truth, the emotional baggage.
3:24:43
He'll be a defeated opponent before he gets in
3:24:45
a ring. And I think they
3:24:47
just intersperse Paul throughout the show
3:24:49
so people have hope. Right? Keep
3:24:51
them listening for another few minutes.
3:24:54
Because Drew and Seamus were in the back
3:24:56
still screaming at each other. And
3:24:59
in the judgment day in the Lucha suits
3:25:01
and Ray Mosterio were still mad at each
3:25:03
other. And they did a
3:25:05
long in ring promo where they did
3:25:08
the standard WWE
3:25:11
Dramatic Scripting and
3:25:13
then that follows into the match, the
3:25:15
Lucha suits against the judgment day,
3:25:18
and then Dominic tried to get Ray
3:25:20
to fight him again and Ray wouldn't. And
3:25:24
this took a very long time, and
3:25:26
it seems like we've seen it all before.
3:25:30
Have you seen this before, Brian, whether
3:25:32
stretching it out till he get WrestleMania? Do
3:25:35
you want Do
3:25:37
you believe Dominic versus
3:25:40
Rae? Or is that the one thing that
3:25:42
maybe is the thing I don't believe about
3:25:44
Dominic? He's just a heat getting little
3:25:46
juvenile delinquent and
3:25:49
and, you know, is getting
3:25:52
thrilled, fucked by reriply. I
3:25:54
can believe all of that, but I don't believe
3:25:56
when he's he and his father are talking
3:25:59
mean about each other. And I
3:26:01
don't think anyone wants the necessary. Well, I
3:26:03
shouldn't say that. I don't wanna necessarily
3:26:05
see that match. No
3:26:07
one comes out of it looking better. Dominic
3:26:10
can't. Ray can't.
3:26:13
Nobody comes out of that looking better. Well,
3:26:16
let's if we can come out of this next one looking
3:26:18
better. Did you watch the Vikings versus
3:26:21
Brown strong man in ricochet? Not
3:26:23
really. No. Well, almost
3:26:26
nobody else did either because they started the match,
3:26:28
went a minute, went to the break, and
3:26:30
come back and did a little bit more, and then
3:26:34
Brown missed the chu chu. He
3:26:36
ran around the ring and body blocked the
3:26:38
shoulder tackled one of the vikings and
3:26:40
then ran to the other side of the ring and was gonna
3:26:43
tackle the other one and Val
3:26:46
Hallelu, the manager pulled
3:26:48
that viking out of the way and Brown went
3:26:50
straight over the fucking desk and was never
3:26:53
seen again. Even though he
3:26:55
just he took his own bump, he
3:26:57
just ran himself over the desk,
3:26:59
He landed on the other side of it and was
3:27:02
never seen again. I
3:27:04
think they were close enough to
3:27:06
the Florida coast that he landed in the Bermuda
3:27:08
Triangle. And disappeared yet
3:27:11
another train derailment. Another
3:27:14
another train derailment. What's
3:27:16
Pete Buttigieg gonna do about this one?
3:27:20
So, anyway, and then the
3:27:22
Vikings splashed ricochet and 123
3:27:24
and that was open. And
3:27:28
Gunther told Adam Pierce that he's doing
3:27:30
a shitty job. He was supposed pick a
3:27:32
challenger, not challengersers. And
3:27:36
Adam Pierce has lost all of his authority
3:27:38
and he should immediately go out back and be
3:27:40
put to sleep like an old mule. As
3:27:43
well Gunther approximately said that.
3:27:46
But Pierce had the solution next
3:27:49
week, Drew versus Seamus and the
3:27:51
winter challenges gone through at WrestleMania.
3:27:53
Okay. Alrighty.
3:27:58
Then Charlotte
3:28:00
and Schottsey. Now,
3:28:04
Brian, we have avoided watching
3:28:06
shots in the past from the day she was
3:28:08
in NXT because she would come out in a
3:28:10
tank with a helmet, fire
3:28:13
off a cannon, It
3:28:15
was a toy tank in NXT. Remember
3:28:17
the time she ran over the bad
3:28:19
heel manager that had down there? He acted
3:28:21
like he got his leg stuck under the
3:28:23
tank and couldn't get out. Oh, yeah. What happened to that
3:28:25
guy? Robert's stone. Well,
3:28:27
he got stoned and We saw
3:28:29
him get run over by two or three times. I he
3:28:33
he was a glutton for getting run over.
3:28:36
And then she got a big tank when she
3:28:38
moved up to the main roster. But
3:28:43
the gimmick is just all over the place and
3:28:45
the screaming and the howling with the helmet and
3:28:47
the tank and the multicolored hair
3:28:49
and the it's just all over the place.
3:28:52
But a lot of people have been blistering
3:28:54
her because She has a lot of
3:28:57
botches in her matches.
3:28:59
We don't normally watch botchy
3:29:02
shotsy to begin with. So it's she's
3:29:04
wrestling Charlotte. I'll watch
3:29:07
this. Right? Because
3:29:09
with Charlotte, how bad can it be? Well,
3:29:11
I got my answer. Charlotte
3:29:14
was trying hard in my professional opinion,
3:29:18
not even trying to Bully
3:29:21
anyone off Twitter or
3:29:23
cause anyone to be harassed. So
3:29:26
yeah, Brian Alvarez, you little fucking
3:29:29
jocke swinger. You
3:29:32
say our fans like to pair it what I
3:29:34
say. Well, next time you're blowing
3:29:36
the head cockatoo, let me know how that
3:29:38
tastes. But anyway,
3:29:43
here's my professional opinion. She's a
3:29:45
bit awkward. She's a step off. Or
3:29:47
a little herky jerky in most everything
3:29:49
she does because she's trying to do a lot of
3:29:52
complicated shit. That's
3:29:54
too complicated for instead of less complicated
3:29:56
shit. That she might be able to
3:29:59
pull off. And
3:30:01
Charlotte's trying to be there
3:30:03
for it, but It's hard
3:30:05
when when you can't
3:30:07
get in rhythm with an opponent because you
3:30:09
can't figure out because they have no rhythm.
3:30:12
And, you know, normally, if you see a
3:30:14
guy draw back and you've worked with him just
3:30:16
once, you know the pace
3:30:18
and angle in which the punch
3:30:21
or the kick or whatever's coming. You can time
3:30:23
it even if you don't feel it. That's the
3:30:25
optimum thing. Don't feel it, but sell
3:30:27
it. It won't look
3:30:29
bad because you've got the flow. Right?
3:30:32
I don't think this girl has a flow.
3:30:36
She was doing she
3:30:38
was half step off or one
3:30:41
stepped behind or just a little
3:30:44
slow in swinging something and it
3:30:46
just didn't come together. And
3:30:49
they went about two minutes? And
3:30:51
then music started playing and reriply
3:30:54
came out and the match continued, Charlotte
3:30:56
gave Schottzied German soup legs and
3:30:58
Michael Cole said SmackDown rolls on.
3:31:02
And they go to the break. And when they come back,
3:31:04
shots he gives Charlotte a hurricane
3:31:06
RADA off the top rope. Now I know
3:31:10
that Charlotte has probably taken numerous
3:31:13
hurricane ruanas off the top rope.
3:31:16
But she'd it was one of those
3:31:19
clump clump bumps. I
3:31:21
don't know whether they were off time on that
3:31:23
or whatever, but The
3:31:25
clump clump instead of the bam, the
3:31:28
clump clumps are the ones that hurt
3:31:30
because that'll jar your fucking ass.
3:31:34
So she gives her that and then
3:31:37
nothing else. She
3:31:39
goes to charge and misses going through the
3:31:41
ropes and Charlotte Kicks
3:31:43
are off the apron and goes to the floor after her,
3:31:45
and shots he throws a kick
3:31:48
towards Charlotte's head that Charlotte sees
3:31:50
coming and tries
3:31:53
to sell, but she didn't realize that
3:31:55
shots he was throwing the kick
3:31:57
from underneath was gonna go up over
3:31:59
her head and then back down. And
3:32:02
she fucking whipped her from, like, a foot and
3:32:04
a half away. Charlotte sold it even. This is
3:32:06
fucking horrible. And
3:32:11
I fast forwarded to the finish, which was
3:32:13
a figure eight. And
3:32:17
finally, Charlotte and Ria get in the ring
3:32:19
face to face. And again,
3:32:22
looking forward to the match at WrestleMania But
3:32:25
now this is an example of they're
3:32:27
not giving these girls the
3:32:30
chance to sit down and go, okay, here's
3:32:33
what ought to say about you. Here's what you ought to
3:32:35
say about me. Here's what blah blah blah
3:32:37
and work it out and be real because
3:32:40
they can both talk But
3:32:42
this was the standard WWE
3:32:46
scripted stuff that they had to
3:32:49
delivered to each other back and forth
3:32:52
while they were standing at that awkward two
3:32:54
third turn each to the camera. Instead
3:32:57
of facing each other and intimidating each
3:32:59
other, there was no emotion
3:33:01
here. There was no intimidation. There
3:33:03
was no aggression. They
3:33:06
were concentrating on delivering the material
3:33:08
that they were handed. And
3:33:10
Charlotte said, I'll outwork anyone
3:33:13
except Christian. You
3:33:15
know how well that worked out for him? So
3:33:18
there was no heat, no emotion, no oomph in
3:33:20
the promo because they were being told
3:33:22
what say it was obvious. I mean, nobody
3:33:25
if they're both in the wrestling business, neither one
3:33:27
of them would have come up with that shit to fucking say
3:33:29
to each other. Would they? No.
3:33:32
It was bad. It was unnecessarily bad.
3:33:35
I don't like Charlotte as a baby face maybe to
3:33:37
feel that the script her to make her a baby face
3:33:39
had overly script her. To make
3:33:41
her a a baby face. I don't know, but
3:33:43
I agree with you about the match, and I agree with you about
3:33:45
the promo. Well, and that
3:33:47
was our main event. Wrestling match,
3:33:50
folks, that's right. We had a five
3:33:52
way, a six man tag, the Vikings
3:33:54
in a tag match, and Charlotte and Schottsey.
3:33:58
And that was the program for wrestling
3:34:00
because the main event on SmackDown is
3:34:02
always the interview segment. And
3:34:05
in this instance, the
3:34:08
interview segment did not deliver
3:34:10
as a main event But the
3:34:12
goddamn afterbirth did, the
3:34:16
usos come to the ring. And
3:34:19
the question on everybody's mind, the burning
3:34:21
question is why, Jay, why,
3:34:23
why? And
3:34:27
Jay beat around the bush for little while.
3:34:29
He was trying to get his feelings out,
3:34:32
but the story was what would you do? This is
3:34:34
family. He's my blood, my twin.
3:34:37
I blame Sammy for all this. All he had
3:34:39
to do was fall in line. But
3:34:41
he didn't. We fixed him, but now our problem
3:34:43
is Cody Rhodes. And
3:34:47
the reason why I think that they were running
3:34:49
long is because they hadn't even finished Cody
3:34:51
Rhodes's last name at his music
3:34:53
hit. Here's the thing. He
3:34:56
they only had four maybe three minutes
3:34:58
left on the air. And as soon as they
3:35:00
mentioned Cody's name, they didn't get the roads
3:35:02
out, I said. And and The music
3:35:04
starts. Any comes
3:35:07
down the aisle and stops about halfway
3:35:09
and says, hey, instead of talking about me, watch
3:35:11
talk to me, to my fans don't wanna
3:35:13
see us talk. They wanna see us fight. This
3:35:15
is a common offer here lately.
3:35:19
And as soon as he starts taking off his
3:35:21
jacket and tie, Sammy
3:35:23
hits the ring from behind and
3:35:26
he goes to town on the Usos and then
3:35:28
Cody hits and joins and for the
3:35:30
next Ninety seconds
3:35:33
to two minutes, it was the best part of the program.
3:35:35
They had a fight. They went all over
3:35:37
ringside, out into people, blah blah
3:35:39
blah. The people were into
3:35:42
it. The action was exciting.
3:35:45
There was shit going on. And
3:35:48
finally, the USO's powder and Cody
3:35:50
raises Sammy's
3:35:52
hand. And that's
3:35:55
As we mentioned, they're not
3:35:57
booh and cody. There's
3:36:00
been no backlash whatsoever. The
3:36:02
way they've handled this They're cheering
3:36:04
Sammy, they're cheering Owens, and they're
3:36:06
cheering Cody. Now
3:36:09
we've seen Cody And
3:36:11
Sammy, stand
3:36:14
side by side, the
3:36:16
outlier is Owens, But
3:36:19
we still got a few weeks. So
3:36:22
they still have four people on the bloodline side.
3:36:25
Yes. So and
3:36:27
but that's you know, that's what this thing is coming
3:36:30
together fantastic, but that's what people
3:36:32
are interested in. And
3:36:34
but it it does take the star power
3:36:37
down when you don't
3:36:39
have Paul and you don't have Roman
3:36:41
and you've just got the usos even together
3:36:43
in the ring, but
3:36:46
they they the people listen to this because
3:36:48
it was part of the story and to see
3:36:50
Cody and Sammy. And then
3:36:52
did you see what at thirty seconds before
3:36:54
they went off the air, Cody ran and grabbed
3:36:57
Sammy's arm and raised it up for the
3:36:59
people. He was the one to say, cheers
3:37:01
Sammy. Smart. Very
3:37:04
smart because it'd been been the other way around.
3:37:06
A lot of people said, I'll see. They're telling
3:37:08
Sammy to try to make a suck
3:37:10
up to Cody. The
3:37:12
other way around, they you know. Yeah. Because again,
3:37:14
Roman's not there. This is all about these
3:37:16
guys just did this stuff to Sammy.
3:37:18
Cody recognized that. It's all about Sammy
3:37:20
still. Yeah. So
3:37:23
anyway, that, you know, it's
3:37:26
two hours of television to keep up
3:37:28
with the lab interviews that you care
3:37:30
about. It'd be amazing
3:37:33
if they actually, I don't know, had
3:37:35
matches that were made important and
3:37:38
talent that didn't seem all interchangeable and
3:37:40
just another COG in the wheel, just
3:37:42
another prawn in the game as people
3:37:45
