The Triple H Era is Here to Stay

I so unfair to me and all the listeners right that you're gonna say, hey, Aloha, like we get to be in paradise and uh and we're not. We're not there. Yeah, man, you know me a von Eric and the Rock, you know, just hanging in Hawaii. We had dinner last night. No we didn't, but that would have been a great dinner. That would have been a dinner. Is wrestling big in Hawaii? Oh my god, dude, you know how many Samoans and Polynesian people live out here and it's like a viable

a ton. But I just was wondering. I was wondering if if it's like pop like people watch it every week and it's the same, same five, same wrestling group. I've been watching wrestling out here. I have. It doesn't come out till after all the results are out, so it will actually come out at five PM here, which is so much earlier that I already kind of know everything that's happened. But it's still fun to watch. But they definitely have tons of wrestling fans out here. Two

fans of our podcast. I already got shouted out here at the hotel by a couple of different guys, are like, love your podcast, man, lots of aloha love. I love it out here. It's the best. And I love our podcast so much Jeff that I didn't even take a week off. This was a big week. I'm gonna drop a little secret on the podcast this week, but we're not at that part of the show yet, so our budgets low and I couldn't send you to all these shows like we did. Summer Summersion was good enough for me.

I was happy. This is the beginning of the Triple H era. It was Monday Night Raw, which I think very soon will be a two hour not a three hour show based off a lot of things Kevin Nash has said and some things that Triple H said on Stone Colds podcast as well. He's probably said it elsewhere. The show opened and we got big time baby face bags and she came to the ring in a freaking shoulder sling. I actually had to wear one of those

for when I separated my shoulder. They're not fun. But she separated her shoulder and in the match at the Summer Slam, as the great bread Hart would say, and wrestled another twenty minutes after that. By the way, two women getting hurt this week. Jamie Hayter broke her nose and said, yeah, I'll wrestle another ten minutes with a broken nose, No big deal. But Becky Lynch came out there cut a pretty solid baby kind of a a badass baby face promo or was it just cut like

a like a tough chick baby face promo. Got a lot of love, right, Yeah. I still think when she comes back, she's going to come back as a heel and be a total hurt to everybody. But Bianca came out said she's the man, said everything she did proved it, and these women showed each other a lot of respect. How did you like it? I liked it? I I think that Becky. I don't know what she could do to lose her goodwill. It's it's insane. I've never seen well, I guess I have seen it in wrestling, but never

in the women's the women's wrestling. She'd have to start punting babies or something, right, and they would still be like, yo, those babies asked for it. That's what those babies get. Long lived Becky babies. I think it's great. She's awesome. I like I like that they came and kind of

put her over. It was a perfect way to write her out because I'm sure we're not going to see her for a bit now, right, Well, yeah, she got attacked by the new wrestling stable that Vince reportedly rejected, which is Bailey EO or EO Sky I now no longer Eo Sharai and Dakota Cot and their name is still rhyme and they haven't changed it three times yet, so the has begun. Someone's name stayed the same two weeks in a row. All night, the women had commercial

breaks in their matches. All night. The women were getting what was that fifteen minutes minimum on their matches. This was really cool to see this was something that a lot of people were trying to get done when I worked there back in the day, Stephen Hunter included, and there was never any chance of that happening period. I mean they would just pull women's matches off the pay per view straight up. I said this a while ago in season one. I like where wrestling is going. I

know these changes are going to be small. I know Vince is still the main shareholder. But Hunter did his thing. Hunter did his thing, and women's wrestling was really cool on Monday night and end on a W two. I hate women's wrestling, so I was a little disappointed. I'm just kidding, No, I love it. I was saying that earlier to our producer, our man man. It's like he's like, finally some wrestling, some more girls wrestling, and then you're

you're always talking about girls wrestling. Triple H teams love girls. It's been impressive, good storytelling. Back in the day, Like you know, the sensational Sherry's were far and few between, Like she could work as as well as a man, but she had to lead every dance because they just weren't as many you know, scary Sherry's out there. I really like where the ladies are going. I hope it

keeps going. You know, WW doesn't pay attention to ratings is as much as a lot of the other wrestling sites out their report because it's a part of USA, and advertisers are simply buying advertising stock in USA. They don't have any say as to where they're their commercials go anymore. It's not like the old days, like when you do commercials for the Olympics. Sure everybody wants the hundred meter dash, right that's where they want their commercial,

but you don't get to pick that anymore. It might be something that streamed on their online, it might be on their MSNBC, maybe it makes the big channel, or maybe you paid the higher fee and you get it everywhere. But that's more how advertising works now, and that's much more of the reason why the Nielsen rating system isn't as as respected as it was in the eighties and nineties. That's just some like cool inside stuff for you dorks out there. We can talk Miss a J and and

Mustafe if you want. I thought miss did a pretty cool thing with the pulling the boot up on the rope and a J looking like yo, man, are you kidding me? Right now, Like I love aj Styles, is good to see him back. I've always liked that guy a lot. Always Mortal Kombast stuff. I like everything, all the stuff, all the choices he makes in my big Mustafa Ali guy. Okay, well let's let's jump into that thing, because I was going to skim right by it. But this was a dude that, like, asked for his release.

This was a dude that asked for his release. I'm guessing because he had no story whatsoever, and it didn't seem like he was getting to wrestle. And if the dude's dream is to be a professional wrestler, then that sucks. I don't know if Triple H believes in him. I don't know if they're just trying to get him some work and then maybe he still wants out. But you like Mustafa, you like all the Mortal kot See. I was a street fighter guy. I didn't mess with the

Mortal Kombat. Well. I I like both for sure. When you're a kid, that's all. There was no brand loyalty when I was like, dude, I sucked at Mortal Kombat. I didn't know any of the stupid finishers street Fighter too. I knew everybody's moves, and I played even with zen Giff and could do his twisting pile driver. That's how sick I was at that game. Zeniff did have some cool wrestling moves. Yeah, dude, but I've never I'm not

even joking. I've never won a single Mortal Kombat match against computer or anyone in my life and tech, and

I'm even worse. It is funny on Mortal Kombat when you get like the old game books, Like you'd get like a Nintendo Power or whatever the book was, to learn all the finishing moves, and he'd be like, all right, to do his more, to do his fatality, Just go right up to him, hit back forward, back down, back forward, hold our punch, high punch, low punch, low kick, firward, back forward, back forward, back block, high punch, Like how am I gonna You've got ten seconds to do all that?

And like I'm like looking to the thing, and then I'd actually end up punching the guy and he would just fall down. You're like, that wasn't the fatality Accidentally hit accidentally hit him. It's so hard listen, Mustafa loses this match, but he did lose a kind of a fabulous way like finished to that was actually really cool.

But it's J Stiles let him he should lose. It's a j to JJ is the minute, and that's gonna lead us to a number one contenders match between him and a group of wrestlers that will get to a minute. But a guy that I really love and I know you love to is Montez. For I thought based off the way he behaved at SummerSlam, and I think if if Vince had his way that Monday Night Raw, he would have turned that quickly. And I feel like they've

slowed that down a little, but not a ton. They then dunkins, we're gonna rochamb or I call it rochambo, but it's rock paper scissors. Anyone else out there that says rochambo show us some love on social media, but anyway, they rock paper scissord and before there was even a result for it just bounces out. It takes off to go get his match and his time to shine on the spotlight seth Rollins has been losing a lot lately. He has been putting men over in the most special

and wonderful way, but he's been losing a lot. He got a little moment at Summer Slam, which was nice where he got a little beat down on on riddle. He needs to go on a bit of a run, right, and he gets this man with the hot montes Ford. Any match montest Ford does is going to have a frog splash. Whether he hits it or whether it's a fail, it's a beautiful thing to watch. It's a very dangerous thing to watch. And this one was amazing and Rollins

wasn't having it. And he gets the wind and he cuts a promo about where he's moving on to next and he's talking about Roman Reigns, a guy whose number he's had for a while. This was a great finish and I love seeing Rollins get a win. What I'm hoping is he goes on a windstreak and then as that character gains confidence, he can kind of shed that snake skin and and move into whatever kind of seth Rawlins he wants to be. I hope montes Ford asked Logan Paul, if he can use his finishing move, that's

what I hope better, you better shut your mouth. He went to Logan said can I use your frog splash? Will you be offended? That's what I hope you so much. Right now, I do want to briefly mention the next women's match, which was Alexa Bliss versus Oscar again. They got a commercial break, they got a ton of time, there was no finish. It was like old school. I don't want to say, uh, what's your favorite? I tried to delete it from my mind. What's your favorite? Time

period called the Attitude Era. It was very Attitude era where there's like multiple matches that didn't get a finish right, and the crowd didn't care because they were seeing action and they were seeing people fight and there was still a story being told. I got a few questions for you. Hit me. So one, what do you think makes WW not able to put over or sell the Japanese wrestlers as well as as they should mean because she's can knocking more. Everyone was like, when he gets here, he'll

be the biggest thing. They're like when Oscar arrives, and it's like, for whatever reason, it doesn't doesn't pop the way it should. So I have an honest answer, But I feel like when Dirt Cheats pull it from our podcast, it's gonna come off like brutal and rup So the funny answer was, Oh, it's just super racist. But if I if I say that, then they're like Freddie says, w W E is super racist and giant black or

white letters exactly, that's the Yeah. So it's just a cultural ignorance man Vince always felt, and this is public. If English isn't their first language, the American fan is always going to look at them as a hell and if they're a baby face, they're gonna look at it that. He wanted them to be like funny and goofy, and I think that's why there was a lot of like goofy Mr moto bs when it came to Japanese wrestlers over here. I was also asking you with you you're

saying wrestling that's gonna get shorter. There's there's there's a people that are saying triple h might go back to the two hour. There's talks of that. Well, when you got so many wrestlers, you know that aren't even being used and as it seems like the life of a wrestler is just always like how am I going to get on how's my story gonna go over? How can

I get on camera more? How can I get more ringtime, how can I So it's like, if they're gonna make it shorter and you still have all these wrestlers who aren't even being And also that's why the Aditude Air was the best, not because of all the violence or that the stuff. I think the Attitude Air was the best because every match you were like, that's Undertaker, the rock stoncle We're the hugest, most famous wrestlers all during

the same time. It wasn't just one guy like feeding the whole feeding the whole um locker room to Roman Reigns and just letting them beat everybody. And it's a Roman Reigns thing. No, there there was, there was There was a lot of stars and each match all that's all Bret Hart is. You know, it's like it's the Canadians versus d X versus. So it felt like everybody

was big. So how does wrestling do that? Now? If they're gonna get shorter and you want girls to now get pushed more and more stages, then you've got all these other guys who aren't being utilized. I mean, how do you how do you? How do you do it? This is a that's a great point, Jeff, I am not the biggest fan of the Attitude era as far as the stories win, but the matches are still the

greatest matches that I've ever seen. But they did. Even the mid card wrestlers were beloved, and they all had a purpose, and they it wasn't just a singular goal. They had, you know, sort of story driven goals, regardless of how insane the story may have been. And with a two hour show, you do limit that. So how do you get those wrestlers over, Well, they have their

partnership with Peacock. Hunter was the one who started the Cruiserweight Classic when they when they brought in all those those the the guys under two pounds to come in and work. The May Young Classic was his. You very well could let's just say they cut it to two hours. You could create a whole another hour long show, a whole another two hour show. You could have on all women's show, if they signed back all the talent that they lost over the last old during the pandemic, however

long it's been, you could have. I don't know if a Cruiserweight division would pull a number, but you could put another show on. That's another two hour show. I mean, there's with that partnership with Peacock, and when they had their own network, you know, the only limit was budget, right, can we afford to do this? Can we afford to do that? Peacock is still growing, but I think it's one of the ones that's going to stay and stick around because Universal NBC. Universal is such a powerful entity

as far as entertainment goes. So who knows, man. I mean, they already have their own sort of dedicated section in within the Peacock service, and they could add more shows. It just wouldn't be something you'd see on the USA network, right, because USA doesn't have that kind of money. They if they could afford to license more w W product, they would. It gets a higher rating than pretty much everything else they put on television, so they certainly do. And that's

another story I want to debunk. USA has no say as to if raw has the title or not. And I know this for a fact because my friend is an executive there and I know how their licensing deal works. They could say, hey, could you please give us this? Could you please give us that? But Vince said no, way more often than he said yes. And they had a partnership that lasted forever. Um and it's still ongoing.

So there's a big difference when a company owns your show as to when a company is licensing your show. They can say, hey, you know, please keep John Cena on Monday Night Raw. And I remember one night on the draft, just to mess with him, Vince and this was just for his own amusement, said we're going to draft him to SmackDown and then at the end of the show will draft him back to Raw. I'll drive him crazy over there. And we're sitting in there like, yo,

this guy's just playing with network executives. Like actors don't get to do that, right. I was so jealous. So it's not the powerhouse that people think it is. USA is very grateful for the partnership and so is w w E. But USA needs Monday Night Raw. They need that show. They need miss and Missus because I love Psych Raw. It was a more successful show for USA as far as money made then Psych. They're paying for every episode. It's like they have a licensing deal with

with Monday and Night Raw. So trust me, they they take what they get. They're not mr could we have some more. Like they're very they're grateful and they make suggestions, but it's it's not an equal partnership by any by any stretch. And shout out to the Saturday free kind of pay per view vibe that it was Battle of the Belts. It was just on a Saturday on TNT. You don't have to pay money, and you got to see a ton of all championship matches. Battle of the Belts.

I'm still getting hip and educated to a e W, but this was such a nice refreshing like Saturday. Just a little special treat. Freddy. Here you go, Freddy, your your kids don't want to hang out with you right now. They're having a blast in Hawaii. Sit here and watch this match. And I'm watching this like, this is so much fun. And I know it's not everybody's thing. I love cloud EO. I gotta get used to saying cloud EO because Cesarrow has been the name in my head

for so long. But this, it is great and I'm sure Triple H knows it. W W. E completely fumbled the ball with this guy, over and over and over. I didn't know he could talk on the mic. Dude, I didn't know he could talk on the mic. I watched the promos that they did on social media, where like on their a w Instagram page, which is still the best wrestling Instagram page there is like whoever it

runs their social needs a raise. But he's just talking to camera about what this match means to him and how what this title means to him, and I'm like, Yo, this guy can talk, Like why didn't he ever speak like? It was? They totally dropped the ball with this guy, And I don't think they dropped the ball that often

when they let people go. But I love this match and I'm a huge Cloudeo fan, and I don't care if he's heel faced or this hybrid version, but I freaking love this dude, and I can't believe they dropped the ball. I did you see this match? You're working weekends because you're a stand up comics, so you probably didn't see this, right. No, he got sent to you. I have a wrestling text with a bunch of guys

and guys sent to me. And the reason anything cesesarycause gets sent to me because I've been I've been championing him forever. Let's stay with the a w bottom. I'm speaking a battle of the belts. We got a thunder rosa and a Jamie Hayder match. The first time I saw Jamie Hayder Thunderstorm. Yeah, you like thunderstorring, don't you. I just can't wait for Tony to turn he know it's just screw her over completely. So the story for

this match is Britt Baker. She lost the title to this Mexican superstar named thunder Rosa, and then here comes your girl, Tony Storm, and she comes out to walk her to the ring that she's gonna have her back in this match. It's not a tag match, and then Jamie Hayder and Dr Britt Baker come out and they have a bay her match, man like. It goes back and forth, Baker's involved a couple of times, and then

Tony stops her, so they get kind of there. It's not a tag match, but they get some fighting outside the ring and beat each other's asses a little bit. And then there's a moment in the match and I believe what I heard was off a brain buster. Per knee came down and hit Hater in the nose, and then they still had ten minutes left of a match, so Home Girl wrestled with a broken nose. We got Becky with the shoulder hater with the nose. Shout out

to both you girls. I love tough chicks. My wife was a tough chick on buff of the Vampire Slayer and kicked a bunch of ass too, So there, this match was really cool. And here's why. Regardless of what you think of the style of wrestling or anything, all four people involved in this match had somewhere to go

when it was over. And you can always do the easy thing, which is Britt goes right after thunder Rosa again and beats thunder Rosa, and you put the belt back on Britt because she can talk on the mic and she can wrestle, and then at the end of that match, when Tony helps Thunder up, you turn Tony on Thunder and she takes her out, and then you can take whatever baby face you want after Britt and let Britt hold the belt for a long time until you find someone else you know worthy of holding it,

or you let Thunder win that match against Dr Brett Baker and you have Tony turn on her then and you have a heal Tony go after thunder Rosa. Whichever whichever way you would, you would book it and then hate her with the broken nose. Unfortunately is the one that doesn't get as much of a story, but she's still the one that's kind of coming up and and and getting this shine from from the others that are more over within that company. But I think there's a

lot to Jamie. I haven't heard her on the mic much because Brits so good. They really let her do the talking kind of like uh, Ricky Starks and Hobbs. Uh. Man, Ricky got beat down again. Man, I was hoping he get a little bit of a little bit of something off, but man, Hobbs just put it on them. So they're definitely pushing Hobbs through the moon. And I hope they stick with Ricky too. But shout out to Battle of the Belts, shout out to Saturday Wrestling. I love it.

I think it's great. Unless it's Wrestlemanian it's two days long. I don't need that. But this was awesome and I loved the whole show. Did you get to see any of the other matches or I love that you're in a wrestling text chain and you guys send each other video. Yeah, and we also we sent so many, like like so many of those extreme matches like any effect things like that, any viral stuff. It's pretty nice. I don't really have to watch a lot. They just said. They all gets

brought into my my reality. But that that being said, they definitely sent me the Dumpster match. I don't love any of the kind of stuff like that. But what do you think about the Jericho match. I think everyone knew that Jericho had to win, so it's a harder story to tell. I like, Wheeler, you do a lot. I liked the finish a lot, but again, like the build up to it, I didn't even believe because you

know Jericho has to win that match. You're not gonna do anything to to put a spike in the black Pool Combat Club, Like, you're not gonna do anything to screw with that right now because those guys are hot and Daniel Bryant just got healthy again. So you can't have Wheeler go up against uh Moxley, even though Moxley had that promo. He's like, I don't care who it is.

It could be this guy, that guy. When I'm in that, like he's got that that promo, But you're not sell at least you're not selling me on that because I know who has to win that match, So I wasn't super excited that said. I love a good Lion Tamer finish. I love seeing that old school I just, you know, forty six, so like the Edge Brood Entrance, I pop bigger than most people. I'm like the Brood, So the Lion Tamer, I'm like, I saw the Lion I remember when I was you know, there is no Brood without

Kane Grill, and I agree. I do love the Lion Tamer. I love the it's you know, modified walls of Jericho. I I like, yeah, And I think he's gonna go old school Japanese Jericho when he has the Moxley match and do all his old school Japanese skill sets for when he was over there doing his thing. That seems to be where they're leaning, and those guys love that Japanese strong style. Let's actually beat the crap out of each other. So I've talked about it. That's so hardcore, man,

I don't know it. They go, you know what, my style of wrestling is just real fighting. That's my style. So no, it's supposed to be an art form where you're able to do these kind of and they go, yeah, yeah, no, I know, I know, but my style is I just I just really hate you and really kick you. It's so hardcore. I'm gonna confess something actually kind of like it. Like I always think, like if I was an opponent, They're like, all right, you're gonna fight Nakamura and I go,

we go try to set up our magico. How do you want to do this? He's like, I'm gonna really punch and kick you, and you go, no, no, no, that sounds terrible, goes no, No, it's my style. My style is like you know, like in the nineties when guys would let a punch go, then the Farruke and Bradshaw would come up and beat him up for seven minutes. You know, they live like they would actually get jumped in the ring by the Dudley Boys or something. And now it's like it's just a style, you know. That's

the thing. I love that. All right, I want to close the show with something really cool and bitter sweet. Are you ready? I'm ready? We got Friday Night SmackDown. Roman Reigns is in the ring. He's talking about how much he hates brock Lesner, but the respect is there. You could tell and here comes Drew mock entire the Scottish mind of old men with the hottie chest, and he comes out. I love him too. He doesn't need the sword duty, so I think they'll get rid of

that soon enough was a Vince thing. I talked about this in season one, but I worked with Drew a lot when I was first there, back in the day and when he first came up, and the only note he would get all the time was lose the accent. Lose No one can understand you lose the accent is Vince thing, isn't it. I wasn't gonna say it was Vince, but yeah, that's that's who said it. So I'm maybe

I'm oversharing. But when I was with Becky, like, she's like, the whole reason I never got success earlier, or it's not that she didn't have success, well, the whole reason she wasn't more pushed early is because Vince would be in guerrilla going. I can't understand what she's saying. What is she saying? It's like everyone's like, dude, is not that thick of an accent? Everyone else knows what she's saying, Like everyone else understands her and Vince is like, why

isn't she speaking English? Like that? She's speaking English, dude, Like everybody knows what she's saying. Drew comes out and lets Roman know that it's going down. They're going to the UK. He's taken everything, and out of nowhere comes Carrying Cross formerly known as Hiller Cross. He comes out and he levels Drew levels him, and he's dressed the way he needs to be dressed, which is in his leathers, looking like a badass. Bordeaux puts Roman reigns on the clock.

She puts the hour glass down and flips it over and the sand starts going through and the crowd that remembers him from n x T is like yeah, and the crowd that doesn't it's like, yo, who is this badass guy? So I announced on the first season of this and with Ariel Hwani, that I was starting a wrestling federation, which I still end when I'm working hard at it, and my champion and I had spoken with him a lot was going to be Killer Cross, and he was my guy. I was building the whole thing

around him. We had kind of worked on the story. We had talked about philosophy, talked about his character his wife's character, with the caveat of hey, you can't hold your career up to make my thing go right, So I said, if you get other offers like and you need to make a living, go make a living. Man. On Wednesday, I think it was, or no, it's actually Thursday. Was the day before SmackDown, I get a text that says, hey, man, I need some advice. Let's chat, and so I already know.

I already know, and I almost wrote him the day before, Hey with vince Gon, you're going to get a call from Hunter. I literally wrote this text and I said, he's going to offer you the moon and if you say no, you're out of your mind, so don't trip. And then I deleted the whole text and instead I just sent him a picture from this uh storyboard guy that's doing part of the show for me, so that I can, you know, pitch it properly. I just sent him a picture of some of the storyboard stuff instead,

because I didn't want to like freaking out. So then the very next day I get this text from can we talk? I need some advice. We start chatting and he says, I talked to Hunter. They made an offer and it's real, and I think I believe him when he's telling me what's going to happen. And Uh, you and I need to talk. I said, yeah, brother, I said I and I told him what I just told you. I was like, dude, I wrote you a text yesterday that I deleted because I knew this was going to happen.

And once Vince left the company and so we talked about it. I said, look, you'd be crazy to chase my dream in place of yours. Your dream was never to be I don't want to say the name of my federation, but your dream was never to be the you know, the Freddie p champion. It was to be the w w E champ. I said. I couldn't hold you up from that. I said what I said, if I was in my twenties, maybe I would because I'd

be jealous and angry. I said, but I want to see you succeed at the highest at the highest level, and my federation is not going to be at the highest level. That's w w E. Forever we're talking, he goes, that's funny, that's the same thing my mom said. That said, dude, always listened to your mother, Always listen to your mother, so I didn't know how fast this was gonna happen. We hang always say goodbye to take care, tell Lisa said, or tell Scarlett I said, what's up? And we hang up.

And then the next day, I'm watching this segment with Roman Reins and Drew, and all of a sudden, my champion runs out and just kills Drew and put them on the clock. And I remember being like, oh, they're putting a rocket ship on this man, which is what

they should have done the first damn time. And even though it's bitter sweet, like the dad in me it is like, yeah, hell yeah, kid, go make those bones right, And the artist in me is like, wow, man, like look at him, Like that's a champion right there, and he could have been yours. But I just have to, you know, recircumnavigate the river and and I'll find there's a ton of great wrestlers out there, and I'll find the one that I click with and can build around.

But this was something that was kind of a special moment in my life, and like a real honest one that I just wanted to share with everyone else who's like a total dork about wrestling like we are, and if you could have your own federation, you totally would. It also proves you right. It also that you got the guy. Yeah, like you had the guy that you knew that this guy was special and talented, which is which is cool. But you gotta do two things now.

Now you've got to send me an email that says, hey, Jeff, I know what's gonna happen. I know Netflix is gonna give you a huge special. I know all this stuff, and then delete the email, just delete it, don't send it to And then the other thing you gotta do is we gotta start getting to work on finding you a new champ, buddy. Yes, Bro, I'm gonna actually write emails that I delete to all my friends, yeah, saying I just I know something greats about that You're about

to be Batman. They hate Pattison and they love you, bro. And then now I'm not gonna send I'm not gonna send. Next day in the news, boo Pattison, he was hanging out with Ezra Miller. Honey, I'm sure that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is gonna do seven hundred million dollars in. Let me delete that, Let me delete that, Let me

just delete that. No worries, no wors So yeah, man, it was like in the you know, back in the day, I would never share something like that ever, ever, And for whatever reason now that I'm just old and don't care anymore, I just thought it would be nice for people like as everyone listening to us as a big dorky fan just like you and me. So so yeah, so I just wanted to share that, right, they want inside scoop like that, they're here for that sweet scoop.

But but yeah, I already have a couple other plans in mind, put out some feelers and reached out to a couple of cats that I'll tell you about off the air, and then I'm sure Hunter will resign them as well or signed them. So, Jeff, it's about that time. I'm gonna let you pick your best or worst moment of the wrestling week and share it with the people, and then I'll do the same. So it's time for that segment. Do we have a jingle for it or any thing? Moment of the week Moments of Moment Amendo?

This amendo in honor of me being the co host slash sidekick to the Great Pretty Friends. To stay on brand and to stay in my gimmick. I'm gonna go the dumpster match. Everyone knows the dumpster match was the best. Everyone knows that we're changing the name of the segment to the a whole segment of the week, or you just think of whatever is gonna aggravate me the most. Yeah, I say dumpster matches where we should move the future. Honorable mention is the women, because I felt like eight

different women all have an opportunity for awesome story. My favorite and least favorite moment of the week was that Carrying Cross reintroduction. Man. I thought it was such an old school, almost w c W way to bring someone in without all the packages, without all the video segments, without all the gimmicks and pageantry, and it was much less sports entertainment and it was much more professional wrestling, and I just thought it was so cool. It's like

it makes you say, yo, who is that? If you don't know, and then you have to be an active seeker of knowledge. You go online, you go on the dirt sheets, you find out who this dude is, and then you can kind of see this guy's indie work and just how good he is and how great of a valet Scarlet is with him, like the two of them together beautiful and wonderful. And the fact that they separated him the first time was insane to me, but

I loved it. I didn't hate it, but a part of me was just like, man, that would have been nice. There's been more wrestling on air this week since forever, like as far as not just wrestling content, like right, the shows are just as long, but in ring wrestling, the matches were longer. There there was more. There was less of the out of ring sports entertainment stuff and more just wrestling. And I don't know fans for our

hate that more. I know that like the hard nerdy ones will love it more, but guys like me, I go, oh, this is interesting. This is a lot of wrestling and not as much story. That's the stat of the show right there. Stat of the show the most in ring wrestling. I'll just throw a date out there since all right, you guys, this has been a really fun episode. We take no weeks off here at Wrestling with the Homies. I changed the name of the show each week. I

apologize and I appreciate you guys listening in. Follow the show's Instagram or Twitter accounts, which is ww Freddie Pod on Twitter and Wrestling with Freddie on Instagram.

Just keep loving wrestling even when it's bad, Love it when it's good, love it. I love wrestling. I love it when it's bad, I love it when it's great, and I love when it's in a dumpster. That's the

perfect clothes. This has been a production of Ive Hearts My Pook podcast networks. For more podcasts for my Heart Radio, visiting I Heart Radio, app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. pH
