I mean what Are you are you living in the now, dude? You trying to win father of the year? What are you doing? I know. But I at the same time I send them a text, I'm like These two motherfuckers are gonna have no problem flipping that ticket. Right. Potentially with a handsome little profit.

They're planning on staying on Fremont. Which I was like Awesome. I know. My one buddy's like he's like, I don't know, do you want to stay on the strip or Fremont? I was like What? Dude. Dude. That ain't no choice at all, Ombre. Nah, even though we are staying on the strip. But for our purposes, it's right down everything's right downstairs. That's yeah. We're

Our hands were forced, dude. Otherwise there's no way I would ever be caught off Fremont Street, dude. It's just everything is n not that anything is cheap in Vegas anymore, but at least it's cheaper down there. You can still find a fucking taco or a fucking slice of pizza or something and not uh have to fucking Taco Pizza Slice. Oh man.

A EW does We're just doing what we're this is a volunteer thing. But we're volunteering here. That's right. I mean AEW goes and does a uh a a pay per view on TV this weekend after one of the one of the greatest episodes of dynamite in history that we do and we're sitting there right in the front. By chance. High five and fist fist pumping, fist bumpin' and foot tapping with Chris Statlander, the former champ.

Mm-hmm. I mean the whole thing. The whole thing was was the whole thing was dynamite because it was. Much much went on, much happened, and uh the Raw Vault as far as we know isn't going anywhere. Raw Vault can wait What did we eat before we went to Dynamite? First of all, we didn't even hit any traffic. It was It was it was pretty fucking chill, dude. Fuck the chillest drive I've ever had to Ontario at any hour. And in a car with no horn.

Yeah, right. I was I had my head out the window ready for you to just tap my back. You're gonna tap my back when you needed me, but I just had Vince had his head up the sunroof like Dino Flintstone. Sure. In Ontario with a face full of fucking dead bugs. Everybody move. Um yeah, we went to the that same market that we've been to before. Uh The name of that? It's actu it's technically in Rancho Cucamonga, but it's just up the street from the Toyota Arena in Ontario. So what is it is that

Is it like a is th is the s city line, the town line on that road? Is it one of those gimmicks? I mean I I don't know, except that the address for that market is Rancho and and the arena is in Ontario, so they're mo the the demarcation, the deparkation, the fucking The boundary. Only thing that makes sense. Somewhere in between. But uh oh, th those markets? Yeah, apparently there's more than one. What'd you wind up having? You had a bowl of something. Yeah, it was like a um like some kind of

like sizzling, you know, like you see uh Oh yeah, yeah. Jerry'll be able to tell ya. You know, uh it's like a like the the gimmick that it's on is kinda hot. And then, you know, usually you see the picture of the steak and the corn. Uh, but I had uh it was rice and um I don't recall the protein, and then I added some

other gimmicks to it, some kimchi and some other shit and stirred it all together, but tastes pretty fucking good. Um, but it's like a um this place is it's like a basically a standalone food court. Yeah. For lack of a better description. And there's just a A ton of restaurants and bars within. There was no Laboooboo giveaways this time.

Was that a Luboo boo? I don't remember what the fuck that was a luboo. I don't know shit. It was something like that. A hundred percent. Yeah. I mean Jerry he uh he almost tripped over himself trying to get in line for that thing if you'll recall. Oh my god. Anyway, uh thank God. I got the barbecue. There was a barbecue place.

And uh I gotta leave it with them'cause they're like, Okay, well we gotta take a look at it and

You never seen one of them commercials where a ball bounces out into the street. That's right. Famously, a lot of balls bounce in the street here at Van Nuys. Yeah. So I get back here, I have a little lunch. It's President's Day. Jack is hanging out with his friend Samantha. They're playing video games. I make them some some chicken sandwiches, you know.

But that and even that's been Trying to get I've been trying to get the prescription from my doctor to the blood center since October. Oh, this ain't the one where they give you a free D V D. This is the one for your own personal health. This is the one for the both. Oh okay. Yes. Okay.

So now I'm in Panorama City or wherever. Damn. And um it took four

Ever. I I couldn't believe it. Like I'm like I go in, I'm the only person there. It's me and the girl. She I give her all the information. She types everything up. We get to the very end. She's like, Oh, this computer's not working. They go to the next computer. We go through everything again. Now there's a line behind me. Yeah. Now there's other employees. And then uh this other young woman, she goes outside with me, she's got the tablet.

She's like, well, uh, we've got this Chevy Malibu or or over here, we walk all the way to the other end, and I'm like, I don't give a f I'm in my head, I'm like, I don't give a fuck. It's a fucking rental. I don't give a fuck. We walk all the way to the other end of the lot. She's like, Or we have this other one that's being washed right now. And I'm like

I wanna get out of here. I'm not waiting for a fucking w for us to dry this thing off. This is people are very particular about their automobile. This is why they do these things. Then she's like, Okay, I gotta run inside to grab something. You take a walk around and look and I'm like, Holy shit. I rent cars all the time at the airports. Yeah. It's wham, bam, thank you, ma'am. Bida bada bing, bada boom, go fuck yourself.

I haven't walked around a car looking for dings in years. No one seems to give a shit. I walk around, I see nothing. She comes back. I'm like, it's all good. She's like, Okay, great. Why don't you hop in the passenger seat and I'll talk to you about the gas? And I'm like, Holy fucking shit. What? You gotta sit in the passenger seat once he talks to you about the gas?

And I'm like So now for the third time I gotta give all my information again to this person. I'm like, motherfucker. And then she keeps like each individual, like coverage, liability, collision, this, that, that, this. And I'm like, no, no to all of it.

Then she starts being like, you know, we also sell used cars here if you're ever and I'm like, I wanna go fucking home and eat. Mm mm. Bro. Dude. Yeah Sounds like a hell of a day, brother. But Wednesday was a great day. Great food. Last Wednesday. Oh yeah, yeah. Uh when we were together? Uh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Um which is always a recipe for a great day. No, no, of course. Of course, of course. I'm sorry, I just had to get that out.

Speak your speak your truth. I know. Uh actually can you can you do you want to vamp or can you just hit pause on this real quick? Hey man, we'll figure it out. I'm gonna figure it out. I gotta call this guy real quick. I'm sorry. He said to call him at eight. I feel you, big dog. You know how it is with these things? Yeah, he's like, let me talk to you.

Let me talk to ya. Yeah. I mean, I thought it was pretty rich. I thought it was pretty rich when uh CM Punk was making fun of um J D for having a giant head when um Punk has that giant hair. He does have a pretty giant hair. It's it it's the the thing about the JD deal is like I know based on hearing it from other wrestlers that like that's like a a backstage thing. Like everybody jokes about JD's head.

But like as he stood there, I'm like, his head don't look that huge to me. No. You know? Whatever whatever's going on backstage and and that's like a backstage thing, you know? And it's like, all right. Whatever. I know. But like whatever. There I mean there's there's so much worse shit that happened on that show, but um Uh mostly his uh CM Punk's wife.

Uh those those two, Becky and AJ man, can we just uh fast forward to the wrestling part? Like I don't need to see those two talk or talk to each other again. It's just uh I mean I think and rightfully so, whatever. A J's like clearly very nervous um and trying to get her uh get herself r acclimated back to uh the shit but um but that was just a terrible terrible segment um but you know whatever overall like overall it's just um

Uh Raw is it's e it's it's easy. It's easy to watch right now, for me at least. Uh, heading into the old WrestleMania. More specifically, the chamber coming up. Um Yeah, interesting that they I I mean, it was like Javon Evans needs to be in there for a little bit of action, excitement, and adventure, uh, especially if uh one of those other two dudes wasn't going to um win it. But I just wonder now that uh Gunter is the uh destroyer of careers. Where he lands on WrestleMania, if at all.

Outside of a I mean, I don't I don't even remember if they do the fucking Andre Battle Royal anymore. Um or I think they do it on SmackDown, right? The night before night the night before night one of WrestleMania. Um Also interesting that they finally uh Did a di did a a mania discount this weekend, but it was uh they i you know, they made it look like it was the stadium. The stadium's the one who like announced it and offered the link to get twenty five percent off of

Tickets not not the E itself, which, you know, people are pretty gullible. Because obviously Allegiance not making that decision. But um Nonetheless, interesting that they they did that and I'm gonna guess for most people it didn't move the needle at all as far as whether they were gonna b be able to buy a ticket.

Or w want to buy a ticket but um and of course I was I was going in there pretty frequently. It didn't seem like a whole lot of tickets were disappearing but Um but I also, you know, outside of the E being a pretty easy target, um I try to not concentrate too much on on how many people are you know,'cause just it just has become such a fucking thing.

Of like, Oh, what how many people were at the show? You know, it's like, Well, I don't know, did I enjoy the show? Did I watch the show and like the show? Um and the crowd. Obviously super important in uh in wrestling, but But it's not it's not uh usually the case that you are sitting there like wondering about that, you know? It's set up, you can't really tell necessarily how many people are there. Like there's there were some TNA shows.

only just a couple of years ago that, you know, obviously were like two rows of people surrounding the ring, but outside of that, it's usually just like, I don't know. Is it cool? And um This fucking guy. Uh oh now Maddie He's like he's like, Oh, so so so what can I help you with? I'm like, You told me to call you. To get an ETA on the part He's like, Oh yeah Oh, let me take a look. Okay, yeah, we don't have an ETA yet, but I'm gonna give you a call And I'm like Okay

Also, they charge me twenty seven dollars at the Enterprise. Why why am I getting charged that? Mm. He's like, Oh, well um Carmax covers forty dollars a day and I guess they're they're charging forty six. So you'll have to pay that that six dollars per day and I'm like, All right, great. Glad glad I dumped out of my fucking podcast five for fucking For this. Oh, Maddie's car and Vince's Vamp, and this show's in the toilet.

Gosh, they used to talk about when people would send the magazines to the P. O. box. Now they do this. Oh man, here's something that'll uh get a few people going. So You probably didn't see it, but Brian Cage posted some some photos of himself that were

You know, that caused Lance Archer to say, Okay, buddy, like the that's enough internet for you. What? And so uh I see these things at about eleven thirty, uh last night in Los Angeles and immediately send the post to Tom Sibley, who's probably fast asleep next to his wife in Pennsylvania at like two thirty in the morning. Uhhuh. Uh that's it. Send him to Sib. But if you know, you know. Um Th these pictures of his abs?

Oh are are those just his abs, or does it go down to a situation where you're like, What exactly is going on? Yeah, this is a little bit more. Is that a little ab photo, or do people always go just above where their penis begins? That is uh That's a very low ab. And then I mean, did he have a hernia surgery? Why are we getting the side view of it? Matty, go to the tape.

Oh, buddy, I'm on that Instagram picture right now. Very vascular. Certainly very vascular. So anyway, let me get this to Sib stat. Uh did you hear back from Sib? He thanked me this morning. He thanked me. And he also was um uh surprised and pleased to uh gaze upon cage's new beard and uh hair growth. This is wildly veiny. This is too veiny. Um the whole thing is a bit I mean I I'm I'm with I'm with Lance Hoyt. But uh anyway hawk is the voice of reason.

Yeah. Is he still Jesus Christ. I'm just looking at all these pictures of Cage. Yeah. What's the deal? Is he still hurt? Yeah. Jesus. I think I think it was one of those deals where whatever he his surgery he had got an infection or something and had to have another surgery or something something like that. Gross. Oh my God. But uh kids, when's the last time you just sat down and scrolled through Brian Cage's Instagram? Mm-mm-mm. He's too big.

The Swolverine did. This is all egg whites. Oh, uh on January twelfth he he did something a little similar where um This this is even more provocative because it's like the pants are pulled down and and he's wearing a shirt that he's lifting up. So it it really does emphasize that uh

I mean he likes to he just not everyone has that muscle that comes down between the legs like that, I guess. I don't know, man. I don't is he using the pure plank? Uh also the fact that this is ha taking pace place in the bathroom. It d it does make it feel like everything was just out. Of course he I mean, in the privacy of his own home.

So I'm thinking Serpenticle for sure, right? Dark match, you're thinking like that's that's the guy they use, or they use him as himself with no hood on. He's got the little beard, sometimes he plays a lawyer or whatever. But instead we're treated the ring of honor. They went ahead and taped some ROH up top, didn't they, Maddie? We got to see Sting's kid again. Damn, little Steve. Little Steve in his underground garage, huh?

He's so goddamn good. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know if he's good or not. I just like seeing the goddamn kid. Well, I feel like at least he's working a style that um He's capable of. Like he's not Right. You know what I mean? Like whatever he's doing is the the stuff he can do and And and they put him in there in the ring with the guy that he can do it with,'cause it was the exact same the exact same opponent and the exact same match that we saw when Defy was in town.

They're like, they they got me just going around with Sting's kid. Like wherever he goes, I go. Like, you know, I'm I'm I'm basically the Ric Flair to Sting's kid. I'm definitely getting a job out of this. Like the th they like him, but I'm ready now, you know. Right. You know, the the fact that I don't have a job is a crime. It's a travesty, that's what he says, right?

It is a travesty, Roland. R.I.P. Um Are you even prepared to ask Barry Blasting questions above you on the mat? Um, a little bit. A little bit. I uh, you know, I've I've I have I have considered it. You've had questions all all this time? No. I was like, oh, you know what? Like this is happening. So maybe put a little thought into it, asshole.

Feels like you're calling me out. No no no no uh th that's me uh talking to me. Feels like you think I'm the problem. No no no no no no no no You'll be ready. That's true. Um also the young lady from Christopher Daniels group had a match. Uhhuh. Which was which was uh you know, that was that was the definition of of okie doke. So does I can't remember does he does is Daniel's with them?

When they're out in AEW or is he just with them in ROH? The uh'cause that's like um I don't know. Yeah. Well I mean but well yeah, but when they're I'm trying to think when they're out'cause that same group is in AEW. Uh well I've seen him with them, so it must have happened on Dynamite because he died as well. Yeah. Um and then Scorpio's out there and then uh And then Frankie, I guess, is back in TNA. Been back, yeah. Already been the champ and shit. Frankie Gazarian.

That dude knows how to wrestle. Okay? Bullet club hunter. That's right. That's right, the bullet club hunter. That's right. Fuck. He could have gone all the way with that gimmick. Man, he could have been all Oh no, what you're my I just I touched something. I'm back. Brian Cage touched something, I'll tell you that much.

If I had that like veins like that. Sticking out all the getting blood no problem. I you'd be like, just stick it right here. You can you can take it from right here. Like, hold on, let me let me pull these down not too far. Just far enough. My lower abdomen, my thorax. Yeah, now that I think about my anatomy, yeah, that's you're you're completely in penis territory at that point.

Well, it just goes to show, man, if you lift enough weights, you your body truly transforms. You get stuff you don't even got now. And I'm not talking about big muscles. I'm talking about whole parts of your body that are hidden. underneath fucking the Jack in the Boxes and the fucking Burger Kings. I mean Cage is probably sitting there, you know, he's done working out, probably works out naked.

And then he then he looks at himself in the mirror and he's like, God damn it, there's so many amazing muscles down here that I can't show because of how close they are to my penis and my butthole. He's like if There weren't so many stupid laws, I could post the photos I want. He's like, I don't want anybody to see my penis in my butthole. I just want them to see this amazing muscle that's basically in the same spot as my penis and my butthole.

You don't think he's doing fucking curls with his dick? I mean the the man he works every body part. He he's he is a prisoner to that physique. The man leaves no man untested. God. I miss him. Well, hopefully, uh hopefully we'll run into him. in a uh stallless uh or a doorless stall in a bathroom in Baldwin Park again someday soon, you know? Every time I'm in a public restroom and I start washing my hands for longer than ten seconds.

Mm-hmm. I immediately remember I'm like, oh man, I'm I'm starting to veer into surgical scrub Brian Cage territory. Well listen, he came I mean, first of all, that bathroom ball in the park was it was it was criminal. Uh I mean it was the size of l legitimately a a s a standard closet, um and it featured a urinal and a uh

I mean there was a partition. That was about it. There's a little little half wall between you and the toilet. And Cage went in there and fucking did what he had to do'cause he was working. He wasn't gonna shit in the ring. So when he got done, he's like, I'm I'm head to toe filthy right now. I normally I normally enter the shower immediately after I do something like that, and that's in my own home.

So like I better wash my hands for an inordinate amount of time. Uh a a lengthy period. I mean, Hawkeye Pierce didn't wash his hand that much on MASH. I mean, he was singing Happy Birthday for the third time. Trying to get those fucking hands clean, you know? They're singing row, row, row your boat for the second time. God. Yeah, he's a fucking machine. He really is for that part, did you?

The best the best was on Lucher Underground when he started he's in Dario's office and he starts saying it to Dario Cueto and Dario cuts him off. He's like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a machine, we know. So great. Uh so you know off camera you won't shut up about it to the point that Dario when the when the camera's finally rolling, Dario's like, enough.

Uh oh yeah, all right. So the the women's match was fine. That was the Ring of Honor one and then it might have just been those two matches. I mean, was there I think there was more. Did Scorpio have a match? Yep. Um that was the Scorpio, I think, wasn't he in there with um Dante Martin and uh That's right, thank you. With the with the the the aforementioned Christopher Daniels squad.

But there was another match. There was Johnny Robbie and and that lady and then there was that match that we're talking about. But I know'cause I was like, How many matches are they gonna fucking jam in this And they jammed in a lot. So I think there was at least three matches in that period of time. Well that is that's three. What? The women's match? The women's match, the six man tag and Steve Borden. Oh Steve Yeah. And you you f oh man, you already forgot the name Gold Dust.

Um you hear how he talks to me? This is how he talks to me on on air. Oh fuck you. Imagine what he says in the back. I talk about how big your head is. It's so stupid. That is it that's such that's such Bush League bullshit to be like That's like Shawn Michaels shit from the nineties, like, Oh, I'm gonna go talk about this thing that we we I'm gonna pop the boys. Yeah. It's like shut up.

Mm mm. Your head is huge. And then people start chanting bobblehead and he's like, I'll allow it. It's like, shut the fuck up. Go tear something, get out of the way. How about the old Balor Club though? I mean what it what is gonna happen is it's um they're gonna turn on Balor and then CM Punk's gonna be the leader judgment day? I mean is that the coup de gras is that the direction we're headed? The punker?

Mm maybe. And then he turns it back into the straight edge society and some heads start getting shaved. Or are they just gonna leave him as the most unlikable baby face in the in the in the business? Well, I don't know that that that's uh everyone's sentiment, but yeah. Um no, some of the fucking dim dim witted marks love him, Vince. Some real Some real low IQ ham and Phil Brooks is just so cool. You don't mean it.

You hear how he talks to us on the air. Who's doing all these head stomps, might I ask? Oh my God. Like, uh legitimately, I don't care how big of a like fan of WWE anybody is. Does does anybody give a shit about this? The masked like the they're running out the masked man bullshit again after they they the last time, oh wow, it was Austin Theory. Who gives a fuck?

The Vision. Well, at least I'll tell you what, man. At least LA Knight fucking came out. He was great. Fucking loved it. Absolutely loved it. He is he is the the epitome of like Man, don't uh don't do bl let's not do him dirty at mania. Yeah, right. Well as it's and especially when you hear that w one one idea is him and Brock.

I'm like, gee. Right. That works out great for everybody. Jesus. They're like, remember when he uh suplexed John Cena fifty seven times? Like, we should maybe do that to LA Night, see what happens. Remember how much that helped John? Wouldn't it be great if can you imagine legitimately? Can you imagine if L Ana b uh beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania? Oh, dude. No. But I would that would I'd like to. But I mean it's like if I if I'm in the room, you know. I'm like The guy will be made!

He'll be made. What are we doing here if we're not making new guys? Brock will be fine no matter what happens. Bru oh like Brock Lesnar's stock is gonna oh I just it'll bring Brock down. It's like how? How when you have booked this guy to be fucking Wolverine for the last thirty fucking years? Well, and also uh I don't you know, any um, well, LA Knight is however old he is, it doesn't matter because right now he's on TV for you every week.

For this foreseeable future and you signed him to a fucking long ass deal, so it's like He's n it's it he's the guy right now. So like that'd be fine if you're like, well, it's a shame Brock can't make this person. It's like Brock can do that later. And it and it and it's not gonna take anything the the way wrestling works now, it will not take anything away. If you if if you let Ellie Knight beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

If in fucking two years and like probably four matches from now for Brock, he does the same thing for fucking somebody else, it ain't gonna matter. Nothing really matters. We're saving that big Brock loss for Braun Breaker. Really?'Cause I'm pretty sure Braun Breaker uh didn't even enter into the fucking Royal Rumble. Because of your brilliant fucking playing with a fucking mask man.

LA Knight is forty-three, Brock Lesnar is forty-eight. Who gives a shit? I mean, right now it don't matter because the one guy absolutely has the the abilities in the spot to like affect business. You know, from a wha however you measure it, whether it's T shirts or whatever the fuck, but anyway.

So that was cool. Um Hell yeah. And can like the neck in in in three months when they do this mask thing again, can they at least just like freshen up the look of the disguise? We already have the sweatshirt and the and the and the the the the dress sock. Hey, put on my dress sock when you go out there. We don't have a mask. We got a dress sock.

I I'd like I wanna do it one of these weeks, but I'm too huge. They'll know it's me under there. I mean, they're gonna know that it's me because I'm just so rippling and ripped. I'm rippling. You see this fucking idiot Brian Cage? He's not rippling. I'm rippling. Oh my God. He's gotta go on Instagram almost take his dong out. I would never do that on Ra. Uh Dude, I can't believe they they are committed I I'm uh un unless it's already hit the shop and I'm not aware of it.

They're gonna st they they are this close to selling an FAFO T shirt. Oh yeah. FAFO Schwartz. Oh my god. Him and when when Piers And and Heyman say it to each other again. I'm like, oh, this is This is brutal. I don't know. Maybe maybe he says FAFO to him, like, you know, as a definitive. Boss, I just feel like we can take this FAFO Schwartz shit all the way to Mania. Mania in Saudi Arabia.

I just feel that the best way to debut someone is gonna be put em in a box. Okay. Remember does anybody remember Gobbly Googer? All right. How over that was? Hey, lunch boy. Bring me the last five time chart. Okay. Oh, what's the last five times? That's the last five times we did everything. It's got what we did on the last five rows, on the last five smackdowns, the last five pay per views, and also says when were the last five cage matches, last five ladder matches?

And what I'm looking for is when are the last five times we did somebody in a box? Boas, looks like last time we did somebody in a box would have been when the three stooges were here in twenty twelve. I feel like it's time to have somebody in a box again. Remember how finally that's thought of? Will Sasso was so pissed because it was it was they were doing a a cross promotion for the um the three stooges movie that the that the Fairley brothers made, right? Right.

Academy Award winner, Bobby Farley. And I forget who played Mo. I can't think of the actor's name. He played Robin William in the VH one original T V movie uh about Morgan Mindy. That's not gonna help. And uh and then Larry was um What's this nut from like Will and Grace? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Who then was on

Like Conan or Colbert, one of those talk shows afterwards talking about being one of the three stooges and on wrestling and was like being basically a real shit about wrestling. And it's like, Well, you know what, buddy? Fuck you. You were pushing your shitty movie that nobody gave a goddamn about. And I feel so bad for you. Chris Diamantepoli. Yes. Yes. All right. He was great. He was great. And Will Sasso, huge wrestling fan, but like

Uh uh a perfectionist to the point of like you you're you're giving me fucking agita. Right. Um So mo like so they're in the box and it's full of the fucking packing peanuts. And it's like w we can only do this once'cause I'm we're not packing this up again. Yeah. And that's it. Yeah. So Santino goes over, opens the box. And the the the gimmick falls. l legit shoot loses his balance and falls over.

Larry sees it and yes hands him and falls over. Will Sasso doesn't have time to react, and then the other two are back up on their feet. We go through the whole segment, it's fine. Sasso won't shut up about we have to do it again. Uh everybody fell but me. You don't like two stooges don't fall and one stooge is just standing there. And I'm like, Will?

Today the Yeah, today like guess what? Nobody gives a shit. I wanna be like, guess what? You're not the three Stooges. You're promoting a shitty movie that nobody gives a fuck about. Uh so that was the worst. So hopefully uh the three stooges are not in the box and it is um I mean your your immediate reaction, my immediate reaction, I'm like, okay, so this is somehow related to the Wyatt Six, right? I mean I'm looking at the box I don't know It's gotta be something goofy.

It ain't gotta be Jericho. Nobody puts Jericho in the box. Oh my God. Like at every at every turn, people being like, Oh, it's Jericho. Oh, this is gonna be Jericho. Oh, that's gonna be Jericho. Oh, Jericho's coming. It's gonna be Jericho. Uh I did get a text on Saturday from Jesse Pop and he was like Um oh I just saw I just saw our truth on an ad for SmackDown. Is he still kicking around? I'm like, yeah, man. I'm like, you gotta check it out. More than you know, pop man.

I'm trying to remember what uh when when they brought Jericho back Um in twenty eleven and break the walls down. It was like a it was like the vignettes were like at a classroom or something maybe, I'm trying to remember. And there was there was like a jumbled up phrase on like the chalkboard or something. Right. Okay. And it was like people were trying to

you know, decipher what it means or does it mean save us Jericho or whatever it is. I uh whatever the the the letters were, I can tell you what they were because one person we saw this in the comment section On YouTube probably. And We thought this was the funniest thing in the world'cause some people were like, oh, it's e it's Jericho. Oh no, it's Sting. It's gonna be Sting. We're like, no, it's not Sting, it's gonna be Jericho. Sting's still under contract.

And then one person pointed out, if you jumble up the letters, it says I be sting. I be staying. I doubt it. That's what I'm talking about. Um

Fucking dynamite. Back it down. Break it down. Yeah, man. You got Swerve Strickland, of course. You remember that, right? And Kenny Omega. That was up top. It honestly, it wasn't until Kenny mentioned Brody King's name that I was like, oh fuck. If he comes out, we're all gonna like the the the arena's gonna chant fuck ice. And then we heard rumblings that

From up on high, Tony was told not to to bring him out and then you know you know uh uh uh uh y y y y you know what it is. I mean, they're trying to sell this company. You know, th they're trying to buy shit. You know, they they're trying to do you know And then uh SRP no, what's his name? S R S? S R? Sean Rossap S R S He he I l I love the idea that You're gonna call up Warner Brothers and be like, Did you did did you guys say this? And then they're gonna be like, No.

And then you're like, we've got confirmation. Uh yeah, from uh yeah uh it's so it's so curious'cause you're like, you know, like there's no that what well like Maybe someone at Sports Illustrate. I like it's just funny to think that Sean Ross Sapp is talking to anybody outside of like The c the guy who checks IDs on the way in like the you know, some right. You know.

uh the elevator operate. I d I don't know, but like who anyway, it doesn't matter. But yes, so now it's been confirmed that that's not what happened. I think and ultimately And that's what Tony said, I guess. I don't know.

No, I never planned. Like why would why would we put why would we put any of those guys on the show? No. Why would we promote the main event? And then it was like because of like some people flew, some people were traveling. It's like well That also you like, you wouldn't necessarily go

I'm not questioning any of this. Whatever happened, who gives a fuck? But like it's just strange that you're like, I'm not gonna put the guys in the in the main event on the the go home. Um and I'm in instead I'm gonna put'em on a plane in front of all the people who are on the go home.

Like like that that's how the travel worked out or something like. I don't know. But regardless they weren't there and a video played and everyone was safe and there was one guy who claimed he got kicked out for having an anti ice shirt on.

Um, but there were other people inside who who had him on. So he just it's one of those things where you're like, if I just would have come through any other door or not encountered this person, like at like y you know those those scenarios get yourself in and you're like, I picked the wrong lane. You know? But why did I if I hadn't gone to that checkout aisle? It was a hot little segment. Nana dropped a cigarette lighter, unfortunately.

Uh no coffee. No coffee for Nana this time. Coffee. That probably came down from Warner Brothers too. Can we stop having him shill his coffee on our neck? I heard, yes. It it wasn't from Tony, it was from above. Mm-hmm. Uh great sec great segment. What else happened? I mean, so th so then once you get into the matches, fuck, dude. What a great show. I mean,'cause that first of all, that six that six person tag um with the Death Riders and the Don Callis family. Mm-hmm.

That might have been my favorite match on the show. And it was like it'cause it was Bro, I think you're forgetting the match, bro. I'm not forgetting I mean, there's there was Ciampa and Fletcher. I mean that shit was fucking That shit was fucking unreal. Yeah, boy, yeah. Subjective reform. Even the women's strap match, it was um

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

What a what a ri what a riot. The whole fucking night was just a fucking riot. No one we were we were sat and everyone was being chill. There was no no malaric. There was there was no dipshittery around us. Ontario a professional wrestling, you know, it's like when's the last time somebody said, Hey man, I went to Ontario, California and had a great time. You never hear that. Never hear that. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. You never hear that. Yeah, boy.

You know what's funny is because Ciampa does this and um Takeshita did it on the on the Australia show. And it's something that happens from time to time when Like he they pull down the knee pad to you know do a a running knee into their opponent. And never makes sense to me. Like I like I can understand like if I have a glove on, I'm gonna take off the glove. Even even maybe even an elbow, you know, gonna take off the elbow. But in me, I'm like...

Like a boxing glove is there to protect my hand. Right. You know? And then also the idea is, you know, it it's not as brutal hitting you You know, but it'll it'll hurt more if you get hit with a bone than with a glove. But like with a with a knee pad, that's Compl correct me if I'm wrong. That's completely there so I don't shatter my kneecap. Like I'm like

I don't think g getting kneeds with a bare knee is gonna be worse than with a a a a padded knee. Yeah, I I mean i it's you're really just opening it feels like you're just opening yourself up. to injury and you're not gonna you're not going to inflict that much greater damage. You're already like'cause you're not trying to necessarily like open them up. So like the force of your knee with a with a that pad on there is not going to be any less

impactful in scrambling someone's brain or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, you know? Right. And that's the other thing with like with'cause with whenever they talk about like bare knuckle boxing, it's like you actually get hit Softer because it hurts your hand more. So like when you're wearing the boxing glove, you hit harder because it doesn't hurt your hand as much. So like uh the logic of I'm gonna knee you

Again, like you just said I'm just opening myself up to a shattered kneecap. And then also the other thing is I don't care who you are. Anybody who's been wearing a knee pad the whole match, as soon as they pull it down. It makes their legs s look so skinny and weenie. Yeah. Right? It does it always, yeah, you're like, oh.

I mean that's like that's why Flair would wear his knee pads on his fucking shins because he felt like his fucking shins and calves weren't, you know because it makes you look like a skinny weenie. Mm-mm. Chaweenie. Like a little weenie. You're a beanie weeny. Yeah, Grand Slam Australia, but great show, man. Great show.

Trying to think Yeah, I think I I will say um it was it was very good. I enjoyed it. Um but it did and maybe it was the length or something, but I was like it did not feel like a pay per view in in as much as like felt like a collision. Like th well their their pay per views are always so so good. Right. And so it was like everything was good, but it it wasn't like, oh, you know? I don't know. I mean, yeah, it felt like a um Like a clash where I'm like, okay, this is a

It's it's in between. And I was also I mean, I was also happy for it because like I'm just sometimes all you need's like two, two and a half hours, you know? No doubt. Uh I mean that was the thing'cause like leading up to the main event on Dynamite, we were like

I was like, Oh fuck, it's it's it's the top of the hour. They're just gonna do an angle. Like they've been promoting this women's strap match all night. It's like God damn it, it's just gonna be a fucking angle and then they wound up just doing s fifteen, seventeen minutes Of an overrun. Which I was I was like, oh thank God. Yeah, man. Um I loved loved the way the aftermath of the hair versus hair match played out. Okay. I was so honestly I was confused. Okay.

Uh, I didn't realize that the stip was whoever eats the pin gets their head shaved. I thought the team

So I'm like, how come Yudo's the only one getting his head shaped? I didn't that was not clear to me that that it was just the person who got pinned was gonna be. Oh, that's too bad because there were there was one spot in particular, they may have done it more than once, but there was one spot where the the announcers started speculating that like'cause you just are standing there watching Marina almost get pinned.

And y they're like, Oh, he was debating in his mind whether or not to just let her eat the pin. So that he wouldn't have to get his head shaved. I'm glad I didn't because at that point you know immediately what's gonna happen. I was I was going like, Well shit, man.

Who w who who's gett I was like, probably Yuda and I mean I bet Shafir doesn't care if she shaves it like you know, I was having a fucking debate about it. If I had known it was whoever eats the pin, then I would immediately be like Wheeler Yuda is fucking getting his head shaved. That's sure. Yeah. You know. The same way uh on Wednesday when um when the Rascals came out

And it was Myron instead of the fucking guy who dressed up in the Nazi outfit. I was like, Well, Myron's getting pinned tonight in this tag in this tag match, you know? Yeah. What a fucking riot. Uh la I l so so the fact that Wheeler tried to fucking um uh you know, he's he's begging off and tries to powder

I love that Moxley grabs him in the crowd and is just like, fuck you, dude. Fucking lost this thing. You know, because Mox is like, we should all be bald at this point. Mox thinks we should all be bald. No, I love that it's it's it's i th there is some honor among these thieves, you know? That it's that ultimately they are just mean people, but they're not.

I mean I'm su they have to have cheated at some point, right? I mean their heels Well they put a plastic bag over a couple of people's heads, but yeah. Mm yeah, but that was after the match. That was Grant I grant you that attempted murder. But they don't cheat. I don't know. Surely they must have cheated in a match at some point, but uh anyway. Well, I mean just simply by mob rules. Sure.

Uh I love the honoring of the stip. And I also love like Marina just holding his hand just like I'm here, I'm here for you. Yeah, there was some gre it was it was almost like refreshing seeing baby faces um Just celebrating while the heels you know, like it WWE they'd be like, No, they're fucking standing there holding their units. They look weak. He should, uh, Yuda should do a, um, A fucking ox baker now. He should just keep this fucking stash. Yes. I think that would help him.

All the hair they yeah, full ox baker, all the hair that they shaved off he now you know, weaves into his eyebrows. Full ox baker. Um what was I gonna say? Oh because

'Cause WWE gets so hung up in the logic of like'cause I mean w we we used to talk about that sometimes. We're like We have this show has been booked, Raw and SmackDown get booked to the point of that none of these people can coexist. That shouldn't there just be constant fist fights backstage all the time? Yeah. You know? I I so uh that in and of itself I really appreciate. I was like.

I just love that it is like, yeah, the the there are people who hate each other. Yeah. But it's also it's like, all right, we'll we'll we'll sort it out in the ring. You know, obviously they do backstage attacks and all that bullshit and hitting people with cars and you know. But it's it it's I don't know. It's it's also we didn't talk about this. It's a complete fucking turn, but um I d like As much as we've talked about

You know, like Sami Zayn. I I don't know I don't know where he's at now, where he's left now after That last after that squash. Yeah, like maybe he he beats Brock Lesnar at Madeus.

Do that's how he's gonna get his shit together. I mean that um like that's a scenario where okay, nobody benefits from this. But I just I'm like, dude, what like how many times Can Sammy like Be woe is me, how many times can he get be like it's like and and then to do it that way where it's not even like, well, he's competitive, but he just can't get it done. Um and then to have fucking uh who was it? Um uh trick come out.

And cut that promo on him. It was just like throwing the dirt on top of the motherfucker's grave. Right. I'm like, who what is Trick is he a bad guy? Because everyone's with him. If he's supposed to be the heel, everybody's with him. And then and then what? So is it i do we get a match with those two so Sammy can fucking lay down for him? Sammy's not beating him. I I don't get I mean, is this Is Sammy is his contract coming up or something? I know. I is it is it just residual heat from

You know, getting himself over when that wasn't what the company had planned? Uh I mean, it's been a while. It's weird to come back around to it now. Someone unless someone reminded somebody. Yeah, trust me, fucking um elephants and triple H never forget. Yeah. Mm Anyway, yeah, I mean they fucking they that that was his buried alive match was that squash into Trick Williams with a big shovel. Fucking ridiculous dude. Yeah.

See on his way out? Is that is that is that it I mean, I have no idea. I I just it's such a strange thing to like a guy who, you know I mean he gets the reactions good, he's been a guy there, like uh and they're just like Nah, you know what? Let's just fucking smoke this fool. I got an idea, boss. Let's just fucking Hey, you know what we should do? Let's turn Sami Zayn into Baron Corbin real quick. Let's just bury his fucking ass.

See if that works. Maybe that'll get'em over. Everything else ain't working. No, I mean he's he's um I g I'm sure I'm sure that they feel I just feel he'll never get any bigger. than getting caught in that giant mouse trap in that Johnny Knoxville match. I mean, that was that was the height of fucking Sami Zayn's career, you know? Man, when he was out there just, you know, bumping around with Wee Man and

And fat man and, you know. Well, the internet seems to think That he signed a multi year deal in twenty twenty two, which That was multi years ago. Yeah. And then expressed in twenty twenty five that he is not going anywhere and is happy with his situation, but that can change. Huh. Well, let's see if we can make him unhappy.

Well w when is w uh so when is AJ done done? I don't know. They just announced last night that they're uh what was it next is it next Monday that they're doing um Uh, like a tribute to him. I mean what whatever they're doing over there,'cause you know, he was on fucking Stephanie's podcast and She's like, What? He's like, Yeah, you never say never, you know, my like he he d he was kinda him and on. So I feel like they're just pouring gas on like he's done. He's done.

Let's do a tribute to him. Let's have people say like how grateful they are that he's this and that and so I don't I really have no idea what the fuck is going on, but they they are They're really pushing the he's retired button. Really? Push it real hard. Yeah. To the point we think there's no way AJ Styles is wrestling again anywhere. Such odd timing. Hmm. I mean... Like we've said it before. Who retires before mania? You know? That is weird. Hold on. I just got an email.

It says, Vincent, CM Punk has an important message for you. And then it says World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk wants you, all capitals, to know how to watch all WWE PLEs, including the upcoming Elimination Chamber live on Saturday, February twenty-eighth. Listen to what? The best in the world has to say below. So there's the video. Mm, stand up and explain to people how to watch our fucking show.

Can someone put a video out? People are not able to figure out. Or maybe they can figure it out and they're like, I don't really figure fucking want to pay that every month. I used to get I used to just get these on my PCAC. What the fuck is this? There's been a lot of those uh for the for like mania seats. They're like, hey Like beyond beyond the on location that you got. Wait, were you did you could you hear me when I was vamping and I was talking about how this weekend they did a sale?

No. Really? Uh yeah. So it wa but but it was a Legion Stadium, you know, so it wasn't them, right? But but all weekend until last night you could get twenty five percent off if you use like the the link that Allegiant Stadium was given out.

Which again, a six hundred dollar seat becomes a four you know, like the the six somethings became the four somethings or whatever. It's like, all right, like most people are still gonna go like, Okay. I just saw a thing That like said what the average ticket price for mania was um and it for the last like however many years and it's gone from like a hundred and I don't know if it was

twenty or s hundred and seventy, hundred and twenty bucks all the way up to fucking six something is the aver the average price, you know? So anyway, but interesting that there finally was a you know, going all the way back to uh Um the the punk promo in AEW. If you wanna go main event the night Yeah. I'll be here. Mm-hmm. Who k I don't give a fuck. I don't care if

If I'm having a good time, I don't care if there's seventeen hundred people in that sixty thousand seat or I don't give a fuck. I'm just saying, like I I try to that's the other thing I was talking about. I just I try to be like You know, is it good or is it not good? Like I uh I'm not I'm not doing metrics. Everybody does metrics now. There's people who are just completely dedicated to I the only joy I get out of metrics is thinking about

Triple H and Nick Khan being upset. Well, there's that. Yeah. That's it. You know? Other than that, like and that's the only joy I get about like Tony Khan did a great rating and then the fucking or like they or when they sell out Wembley, I'm like I just love the idea of Triple H having to be like, they spend way too much money. Like every it's to a to a T. People that work at WWE that I would run into over the years, over the last five years since AEW.

The constant talking point would always be like, you know how much money they spend on Dynamite every week? And I'm like, Yeah, do you know how much I give a fuck? It's funny. Uh

You know,'cause Alvarez went off on some of the uh some of the voting in the in the observer awards. Okay. Just saying how like people have lost their fucking mind if like whatever it was, thirty eight people think that Fucking Michael Cole was the best in that whatever it was, right? He was the Okay. And then of course you also have Eric Bischoff being like

People who vote in the observer wards are this like insulated mouth breathing fucking whatever. Can you imagine listening to Eric Bischoff's podcast every week? I can't imagine. I don't even want to look at that fucking idiot. But uh um Uh what was my what were we talking about right before that? Uh you were saying Oh, the metrics and the money. Oh yes, yes.

Yeah, I still don't know what I was saying. Well, the one thing I did see was Alvarez uh got bent out of shape about the voting on the worst match of the year. Right. Because apparently what won was John Cena versus Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. Yeah. And as he's talking about it, I'm like Well, yeah, I mean that was uh I I don't know that the match in and of itself was bad, but the disappointment

And confusion based around the build. Yeah. And then coming off of last year's main event. And then obviously the the person that made that match. Subpar was Dwayne Johnson, who was not involved in the match. Right. And the other thing about that is it it also goes to show that like People who vote in the Observer Wards aren't all watching fucking, you know, the the Noah show this weekend. Let's like It's like, so people...

Uh enough people probably didn't even see the fucking butterbean match to know how bad it was or any other number of Viva Van matches or whatever it was, you know. Because apparently Minora Suzuki and Butterbean came in second and it's like no. Anybody who actually saw that match or God forbid was in the building like us knows that that's we were there for without question, objectively, in a subjective art form, the worst match that's ever taken place. Um but yes, like within the context

of what you're saying, like it I I can see where someone's like, Oh, that was that was the worst match of the year. Yeah. But it but it wasn't bell to bell. It it was in the context of the build that was so confusing. There's something about this that really befuddles the rock. You know, I want your soul. Then all of a sudden he vanishes. Yeah. And then has the balls.

to go on somebody's podcast after mania and was just like Yeah, it was a terrible main event, you know, and I and I wasn't involved. I don't I didn't want people to think I was involved. So I'd you know, I took a step back and it's like, fucking Dwayne Is that the last time we saw fucking Travis Scott too when he fucking crawled down to the ring? Bizarre. Yes. Bizarre. Sorry that didn't work out with that guy. Sorry about your bad damn luck.

Can I tell you something real quick, Vincent? That's apropos of nothing. Man, that's what we do. I'm gonna be doing Blu-ray reviews later today. This four K That keyno put out of the Rolling Stones, Let's Spend the Night Together. Yeah. Is fucking fantastic. Oh man, I bet, dude. I got no reason not to believe that. That's my recommendation for you, dude. Ooh, that's for you. Specifically you. Yes, thank you. Yes, thank you.

I just watched the uh I just watched the hit the other night. You know that movie? With um the hit. It's got um uh the guy from um the limey is in it. And it's got um it's it's got General Zod. Yep. Terrence Stamp. And it and it also has um Oh uh like probably it's gotta be one of the f his first movies, um Tim Roth. Um is the Oh okay. It's pretty dope. Okay. I'll have to check that out. Shit. Or something like that. Oh interesting. Oh yeah, it's a good time.

Pff uh yeah, it's basically a real good time. Um You know what I watched last night was uh The Mechanic with Charles Bronson. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Um Yeah, I was we were just talking about with somebody that fucking you remember Jeff Goldblum was in fucking um He's one of the punks in in in Death Wish, yeah. Yeah, Jesus. Um

But hold on. You keep sidetracking me here, man. You know I got these great points to make. You know that I do. Hey man, that's your job is to bring it back to wrestling. Okay. Uh hmm. I don't fucking know, dude. I don't fucking know. Bro, you think I fucking know? Uh oh well first of all I want to say I'm sorry to Johnny Russo'cause NXT was voted worst uh the worst TV program. Um Not at the E, bro, not at the E. Um

Uh Ron SmackDown, SmackDown Raw. Did we get any word on how G C W was on Saturday? A what? Yes. Um only in his Valentine's Day with their sweethearts at G C dub? I don't think so, but Anise did say Um did you go to GCW? I said I did not. He goes, apparently main event started and ended right as it started, Hammerstone down. Um feel bad, but the main event was Hammerstone versus Cruel. So Hammerstone apparently uh was injured almost immediately. How no we don't know, but um

Uh I don't know how anything else I I know the masterpiece was on the show. I'm not I didn't hear any of that. Didn't get any word. That's a tough night to run I mean, you talk about holidays, you know, running on wrestling r wrestling shows run it on holidays. And like you do you hear that story of I don't know if they say it was Fritz or uh Watts, but whoever was I I guess it was Fritz was like

No, we need to run Christmas night. Thanksgiving night.'Cause it's like you do all your family shit during the day. Yeah. And then at night you're like, All right, well what are we gonna do now? Valentine's Day on a Saturday. It's like, no, that's if if you've got the reason To not be home and you're out with somebody else, that's when you're doing it. That ain't an afternoon thing. Now I guess is the assumption

Well maybe there No one in there's got a Valentine? Nobody in there's got a Valentine, or maybe if there's a couple they love, you know Yeah like Jerry and Jerry and Ashley, for example. That would be a perfect Valentine's Day night for them. Oh. Can't think of anything better. Uh I don't know how the I don't know if the house was impacted.

You can't just like omit him because you just look like an idiot because you're just like there's th like listen, there ain't nobody sitting here that fucking digs on Hogan. But The fact remains, like if you want to talk about people who fucking generated revenue He had to go back, he's like, Wait, did I say Hulk Hogan?
