Episode 624: We Forgot How To Speak English

Like the midnight and the rock and roll. He's in a fight for wrestling. So we're using a racket and some mind control. Like he's Jim Cogniz. The keys to the future. Held by the past. And we're tag team partner. But right at last. He sends this message out by podcast. Jim Cogniz. Well, he's never fake or funny. Well, he's never fake or funny. He never backs down from the fight. He never wins the pony. Because his mama raised him right. It's time to prepare your mind. Get the experience. Get the experience. Get the experience. Jim Cogniz. Hello again, everybody, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Jim Cogniz Experience. What a week it's been in wrestling. People arguing. People quitting their jobs. Too bad none of it was on the air. But we are. And joining me for all this and more, Hawaiian Brian, the podcasting lion, the king of the Arcadian Vanguard Podcast Network. Mr. Co-host to you. He's Dan Hausen's favorite podcaster. Be great, Brian Last Hausen. Hello, Jim. A pleasure to be here once again. It sounds like someone has changed their tune housing on Dan Hausen. We'll find out what you have to say here today. No, I think everybody's out of tune about tune housing. Dan Hausen. Damn that, Dan Hausen. That ought to be on Comedy Central. Damn that, Dan Hausen. He just comes around and creates chaos. Damn that, Dan Hausen. And on the topic of horror show hosts, even though he isn't one, he should be. But I just saw pictures of Gwen Gulley outside of her Gwen Gulley makeup. My God, what a good looking woman. Well, what did you like your saying that she's ugly in herself up when she's Gwen Gulley? I thought she was a very cumbly lass. Well, indeed she is. Just wanted to put that. You know that's a phrase you don't hear enough anymore. No, you never hear it anywhere. She's as my grandmother Coco would have said, she's a very cumbly lass. My grandmother was born in 1886. I believe either 85 or 86. And so when I was a little kid, I got a florid vocabulary from a previous era. Anyhow, speaking of a previous era, you know, the week started off, Brad. We've had five days this week from Monday through Friday. That's the normal number. Monday morning, we had freezing rain and snow flurries. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, it's pouring rain like pouring piss out of a boot. And today, Friday, it is gonna be at least 81 degrees, the all-time record high, with another heavy round of rainstorms come tomorrow. And again, next week. But to pour people up and see more Indiana went from three inches of snow on Monday morning to a record high temperature on Friday afternoon. I turned the air conditioning on, though it is a landmark day in the year when this is the first day of air conditioning. How are you doing up there? Have you melted yet? There's still some snow on the ground, but it rained. Yeah, I guess that is what you say. It rained all day yesterday. It's what you normally say about... It sounded weird. Sometimes you say a normal word and it sounds weird. The past tense rain event is rained. Well, in the moment, it was raining in the present time, but now we are here after that. So we're traveling through time and space as normal here, but most of it's gone. We're rambling. There's fog. There's lots of fog. Lots of fog and the brain fog is moving in off the coast. All right, I wanna make a confirmation on something that we said that I said, I believe that to be true. Well, on one of the shows that we just did, like we do every goddamn day, the fellow that I knew that went to the SmackDown event in Louisville last week, the Friday night of the last Friday of February, second row rings at $700 each. Each. And another comment was, a lot of downtime. And another comment was, when everybody was standing up even on a second row, because I said he took his son, right? On a second row, if people are standing up, the kid can't see, he's trying, because they stand now. I remember, do you remember? Are you old enough, Brian? When you went to big league wrestling events and major buildings, when the people were all standing, they got on the PA and said, sit the fuck down, you're getting people's way, sit down, please return to your seats. Never that, but at the Nassau Coliseum, they always had these off-duty cops that would come over and get you back to your seats right away. Well, no, this was, well, I was 20 years. No megaphone, no megaphone. Well, not with a megaphone, I'm talking about the PA system. In the 70s, the PA announcer had to please return to your seats and people are crowding the ring and gonna fucking set fire to it or whatever. But anyway, so they were too close to see the screens over their heads, right? Which is like being in the front row of a drive-in fucking theater. And at the same time, they couldn't look to the left and really get a real clear view of the big entrance screen because all the people keep standing up on the entrances. And then basically there's a lot of time in between. So there's a 700. For fucking, wait a minute, I'm trying to do the math here. Five, 50, for $250, you could see, you could sit on the front row of every one of 52 yearly events at the Louisville Gardens when I was a kid and see, you could get blood on you, you were so close. And see the greatest fucking wildest ass wrestling you've ever seen all year. Now it's three times what it used to be in a year just to go to the show and sit on the second row and watch people talk to each other. You could just take that money and get the best TV you could find and it'll be a better experience for you to get your own food and go to the bathroom and stuff. But the big question is, if someone pays that amount of money for a seat in the second row, how likely are they to come back? Even if it was a great night, just because of the price, if WWE returns that at town one year later, does that person say I have to go again? Or does that person say, you know, I spent like a thousand bucks last time between parking and food and beer and seats. I can't do that again. You know, this was almost more in the category of like a bucket list thing that he wanted to do with his son because of his fond memories of days gone by and he didn't exactly let his wife know how much money he spent type of thing. But beyond him. This is not something that he would ever do regularly. But I'm saying beyond him. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. In this test case, you know, see, we're doing one of these double blind studies. Did I mention he's blind? Also, so he really couldn't see very well anyway. It was in this double blind study where we sent both of these blind people to the show. That's an example. That's a reason why they spent that much money. There's not a lot of people that can spend that much money, just every goddamn old time. And again, you know, if he did it now, but even if he liked it, it was the first time in ever that he'd done it. The next year, it'd only be the first time in a year for maybe the same amount of money. Man, see, that's where I'm going with that. And it's another thing, maybe the same amount of money. It's not going to be the same amount of money. It's going to go up. There's been no signs that ticket prices are going to stay the same or come down. I don't even fucking see how it can. Then they're going to start doing shows for the 500 richest fans they've got in a 20,000 seat building. My God, you'd have to turn to crime if it gets any more expensive. Some people may have already contemplated turning, I think potentially the company selling the tickets has turned to crime, because this is fucking the highway robbery. It's going to be interesting again, you know, and we'll probably talk about it maybe on a future show, just the comparisons of when they return to a market. I know Wrestlenomics has done a bunch of reports about it. You know, WWE, there are some places they're up, but they're down in a lot of places, it seems like. And again, I'm not saying, oh my God, poor WWE, they're going to go out of business. They're making so much money. And that's what people say. Why'd you shut up? They're making so much money. Yeah, I get it. I mean, it sucks right now, but I get that they're making all this money, but they're burning out their fan base in every way, in every conceivable way. This is not, oh, we're just trying to find something to pick on. This is a major story of how they are getting these obscene grosses for basically for the product that they are currently offering and or the excitement level of same. And it's a part of a giant multi-billion dollar machine. And they've taken over the global combat sports industry. We're not just trying to find something to pick on them about though. It's almost sounds like when you describe, you know, the waiting around and you get some cool moments, you get to see big stars, even though it's raw and it's a live broadcast. It's almost like you're describing the old four hour, five hour monthly tapings for a challenge in superstars. Yeah, they they consider it even at those prices, even at those prices live, they still consider it. A television event and it's all geared toward television. And I mentioned it the other week, but it having even to somebody the level of seeing punk. And I'm not again, I'm not glazing as the kids say, glazing punk, but it could be the level of him presented in the company or a drew or a Cody or someone of that level. Making their entrance will be right back folks. And then they go to a break and then they come back and they got a backstage thing and then they got to travel on and they got a drone shot. And then they come to the ring and the fucking one of the biggest stars to come he has been standing there with his dick in his hand whistling Dixie. For five minutes and then they get to start. I told I told stay Saturday. I said I would have either have gotten to God damn mad. I can walk to the back and said, fuck you all, I'm gone, or I would have started a riot on the microphone. One or the other, because that's got to be excruciating as a performer. To go out there and God and they just had to stand there. Are they done yet? And I hate that and I'm not justifying it, but it was one thing doing that when you were on broadcast TV and you were trying to time the commercials to make sure you didn't lose audience. It's a different way of losing audience on Netflix. They don't need to have the commercials or the breaks where they do. You can now have a guy's music hit and he can go to the ring and you can start the thing. You don't have to put the commercial there because it's not like you're just changing a channel when you're on Netflix. Well, and even if it was under control where they could get a two minute break in while one of their biggest stars is circling around the fucking ring, shaking hands or whatever, but it's all geared to television and the live audience. I guess they think it's their pleasure to sit there and watch the TV show that they got to watch it all for free just because they're there in person. Which then because they're there in person, they're doing a service for the WWE because they've got a big, large enthusiastic audience to make everything look good. So thank you for coming and paying to do us a favor and making our show look fucking great. We've all done television tapings at house shows. They did it in the Crockett days. I'm not just talking about taking one camera like in Memphis or some of the other and shooting what's going on at the house show. I'm talking about the full fledged TV tapings and the people still didn't have to sit there. We were live to tape and we, well, you've seen the flair window matches. Or the flair garbant matches or the Midnight Express Fantastix matches where we might go 30 minutes or whatever. And they would have commercial breaks, but the match was still continuing. You weren't here. Rick Flair wasn't coming to the ring for an interview and then taking a two minute break. And while Rick Flair stood there and did the helicopter and then come back and he starts talking. You were able to capture both what you needed on television and not make it suck for the crowd that was in Baltimore or where the fuck it wasn't a big building. We're doing a TV tape. I do not mean to go on about this, but God damn, I'd be pissed. I'd be pissed. Jesus Christ. Payed all this money and I have to sit here and watch them stand around. Yeah, I got a penance in my ass as Dusty Rhodes once said to a poor unsuspecting fellow. Anyway, let me a couple of things here real quick. I got and I got paperwork. Um, wanted to recognize some people since I'm backed up on emails and acknowledging a few folks, not Roman Reigns, but we got an email. Well, Brian, both of us from Matthew, who is one of the listeners, his wife, Melissa lost her father back in late January and she's become a fan, obviously through osmosis through him, but then he's listened to us make fun of a W. He said and listen to me make fun of President Pig shit. So she's got good taste. So Melissa, we're sorry to hear about that. And also from Donald, who lost his cat Morris and Donald, even if that is an unoriginal name for a cat, we feel your pain. Brian from Scranton. What the hell was that his family? What? Even though that was an unoriginal one, you have to put down the cat. I didn't put down the cat. I put down Donald. Donald was his name. The cat's name was Morris. I put down Donald for naming the cat Morris. What do you think the cat came up with his own fucking name? Why do you have a problem with the name Morris? Call me Morris is Morris a common name. Are there a lot of cats named Morris? You made it sound like it's something he's just copying. Of course he gets it. You know Morris the cat. What a way to get back up here before I go. Who the hell's name in their cat Morris in 2026, Jim? Apparently God damn Donald. Donald, we're sorry for your loss. It would have been an over that would have a trend would have come to it in Morris the cat. You said, did you know about Morris? Are you familiar with Morris? Too familiar with Morris the cat, no. Oh, right. No. Brian, I'm begging you. I'm begging you. I'm pleading with you, baby. I'm down on my knees. Just from the commercials? I'll get the hell out of here. Morris the cat. I forgot all about these commercials like the rest of society. Well, apparently Morris the cat's still active. Well, he's how old is he? I don't know if it's the same one, but it's been appearing in packaging on commercials since the 70s. Makes it sound like it's still active today. Well, I guess they have to take care of that fucking cat. He's worth a lot of money. See if he could afford the best vets and you know, anything can happen. In 2006, Morris was depicted as adopting a kitten. Lil Mo from a Los Angeles animal shelter representing the first adoptee in a campaign known as Morris's Million Cat Rescue. Well, that was sweet. But Lil Mo, what was Lil Al Vavasour fucking already adopted? This is from Wikipedia. He was quoted at the 1993 end of the year. Edition of People magazine, which noted deaths of 1993 to which he was quoted a simple meow in honor of the death of his friend. Fellow advertising mascot, the dog Spudz McKenzie. I remember Spudz McKenzie. Well, of course you did. He was cooler than Morris the cat. Well, but Morris was a more of a more. Not, not the, not Donald's Morris the cat, the real Morris the cat advertising. The original Morris the cat, you know, they were both real. They both existed. The celebrity Morris the cat. Morris was loved by small children and their grandparents, whereas Spudz McKenzie had to be a goddamn. You have to turn on the adolescent reprobate. You just had to turn on the TV and see a commercial in the middle of the Mets game. That's all you needed. Fucking slovenly drunken dogs, carousing round. All the canines a bad name with their irresponsibility and bad behavior. And y'all have, you know, the canine DUIs were up 40% during the Spudz McKenzie era. I think the point is our condolences to Donald. All right. Yes, Don. Brian from Scranton. Now you know, this is a somber occasion here. He and his family lost their dog Snickers, who was 10 years old, 20 pounds of twisted steel and puppy appeal. And it would mean a lot to them if if we could give him a small mention and. I do you have any pictures of him doing bodybuilder poses and tights? Maybe we could put out a memorial at the humane society. You have any problem with naming your cat Snickers? No, it's a dog. Naming your dog Snickers? You have any problem with naming your dog Snickers? No, because there's no famous dog named Snickers. If it was Lassie, I'd have said the same goddamn thing I said to Donald. Oh, God. Once a dog's name is famous, it's retired. Like you can never name another dog or cat that name. Well, it just seems that who names their kids Elvis, huh? In Mexico, in Mexico, they may. Well, now we don't have any control over what they do in international fucking water. This Elvis Costello. That's not his real name, but there's Elvis. Remember Elvis? I know I don't. So I'm as dark and dark about him as I was. You were about fucking Morris the cat. I lard, pillum, the Swedish Elvis Presley, but I lard, pillum. And I just a question that you're trying to avoid the answer to is once a celebrity animal is out there, is that name retired from ever being used for another? I thought I answered another canine or feline. And I believe I answered it that in the over egregious case of a Morris the cat or an Elvis the person or of a Lassie may qualifies well, a goofy, goofy the dog. That would be kind of, you know, but again, there's a few of these things you ought to just retire. Was goofy high? I mean, the idea that Pluto was a traditional dog and goofy is goofy in an era when goofy man, hey, this guy went behind the building and had some of those goofy cigarettes. No, it's they were making fun of the of the of the mentally challenged as you know, you would say now, but before he was just he was stupid is what he was. Can you name a dog Pluto? Wait a minute. Did I lose you? I I said, yeah. Huh? Did I lose you? Did you go in or out? What happened? I'm talking to you. I said, and I was thinking and then you scared me. Oh, OK. No, it was such a long break there. I thought the internet went out. Well, because no, because I'm trying to think if he's in the public domain yet. Was he in Steamboat Willie? Goof, Pluto didn't come along till later. That's right. As soon as he enters the public domain, then it's OK. Like there are plenty of people who get rabbits and name them bugs, right? Well, rabbits don't count. The hell does that mean? Well, you you can have all the famous rabbits you want. All right. Well, Brian was sorry for your loss. You and your family. And anyway, and one more thing. Hold on. Wait a minute. What have I done? I put the other things right. Here we go. We have an update. From one of the topics that we previously spoke about here on the program, the the incident in Mullenburg County with the man and the deer on the side of the road. Brian is I don't want to just. Oh, this is something come out and it especially in the first 45 seconds. This clip and just say what was happening. But the man was arrested for fornication with a deceased deer carcass on the side of the road. The evidence against him was pretty strong because the cop caught him with blood and fur all over him. And we. We just see I'm not just I'm not even getting to them again to the update yet. I know you're convinced that the blood and the fur was from the dead animal. He was having fornication with or whatever you want to call it. But I like engaging in the act of fornication would be the way you determine. I guess so. But I like to imagine him kind of crawling up like Mantar. I could the big thing on already. No, I'm telling you. No. Obviously this guy didn't think things through far enough to maybe come up with that plan. But anyway, we got a message from from an email rather from John. And he the Jim and Brian about the man fucking the dead deer in Mullenburg County. He was from Owensboro, which is over in Davies County. And I heard this from several people, Brian, that what they were offended while the incident happened in Mullenburg County. In actuality, the guy that perpetrated the deed was from over to next county in Davies County. And John continues. The people over here in Mullenburg County were surprised and grossed out that it happened just as much as the rest of the world. Never in a million years would I expect the county to be world news for something like this, which is unfortunate because Mullenburg County isn't known for much other than the Everly Brothers being from Central City. James Best, who played Roscoe P. Coltrane was from powderly Kentucky. And Mullenburg County itself is mentioned in the John Prine song, which I sang a few lines from as a matter of fact. And thumb pick and legend Merle Travis is also from Mullenburg County. So musically, the area is rich in history, but for the rest of the world, sadly, it will only be remembered for that guy's actions. Oh, dear. That was from John played there at the end. Well played. You like the Everly Brothers? You like the Everly Brothers? What did you say to me? I said, you like the Everly Brothers? I never met either one of them. So I can't tell you whether I liked him or not. They had a few good tunes. I know that much. And you know, but I still think that's a good tune. We know what you're up to and you ain't going out again at night with that son of a bitch. Fucking whore. All right, this is like a turn. Well, you know, they try to get away with these things. The kids, the young, the teeny twiders and boppers and things. So I came out in 58, Jim. I'm sorry. I had to take a drink there during the sip there. Swallowed my the vial that I had for Susan. I mentioned I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I'm selling my phone. I mentioned I'm selling my clothing for take it off. It's come to this folks. I'm selling my clothing. This is going so well today. How much for this shirt? See things haven't been going real well. I've overextended myself in the, the Dalmatian breeding market. And now I'm selling my clothing. No, as I mentioned last on your program, I think, or one of these programs, Brian, I've got to the, to the stage where I've been able to clean out my wardrobe. And with ring worn things that the Hulk Hogan boots selling for a million dollars. All right, fuck, you know, maybe I can get a nickel 95 for my stuff. But also I've had this stuff out for a while. I'm moving things around and storing things in the castle. And now is the time. And I have tasked Mr. Mr. Feather bottom with coming up with a nice listing for everything and putting it up on the website. You starting, I believe March 21st, which is a Saturday. You can say what I've done with the wardrobe basically all the dress clothes I've ever had in my life. I wore on television or to the ring. You can attest to this about me. Have you ever seen me in anything with a collar or belt loops? If I wasn't on fucking cameras or at a show, more than likely not. So at any rate, I have taken the last five or six jackets that I bought and five or six pair of pants, about eight or 10 shirts that I bought like seven or eight years ago when I first lost weight and needed some shit that fit, which is the last clothing I've bought or ever will buy. And I've set that aside. Just in case I ever need it, you never know what I might have to go to court sometime. And I've cleaned out the closet and whether it be the last of my whacking rackets because I've retired from hitting people over the head. So I have several rackets that have been various stages of curvature, dude being used to whack big wrestlers and two or three pair of eyeglasses that I've used. Obviously, if you've seen me on television or at a show with my glasses on, these are some of them because I didn't have like personal glasses and show glasses. They were just they were the glasses. Ring worn shirts, pants, suits, jackets, a couple of combos. I'm still checking on this, but I have Brian. Not only my T and a trading card, but I have the tie that I was wearing in the picture of the T and a trading card. And you could make a nice little set of that. I don't know whether I'll frame it or not. I was framed when I went to T and a. But there's all kinds of and and my tuxedo shoes from when I inducted the Rock and Roll Express into Hall of Fame. And all kinds of cool stuff that we're going to be putting up. The listings are going to go up on March 21st at JimCornette.com so that you guys can see everything because obviously due to the nature of it, everything listed is one of a kind. So we don't want everybody just did, you know, all six people that are going to be fighting each other when they go on sale. We don't want to panic here. So you get a couple of weeks to look at everything and spy if you like something couple and then everything. Well, you know, a couple of weeks. Those rackets are going to go in two minutes. Everyone's going to jump all over those. Then the glasses will go right away right after that. That's what I'm listening to me. What I didn't hear me what I'm telling you because they're going to have a couple of weeks to look at everything so they decide what they want to go for. And then on Saturday, April 4th at noon, everything goes on sale and they already they already can think of a personalization or they've seen the policy on the personalization because I can't write a goddamn manuscript on the back of a cloth shirt. So some of these are going to be limited, but they get nice little handwritten letters with each item indicating that they are personal and legitimate and things like that. So I want everybody to have a chance to look at it, see what they want to go for instead of just being mad panic and everybody getting all fucked up and just wait until you see how nicely the feather bottoms will be packaging all these items. They are they are working now on folding classes. They've gone over because nobody goes to the mall anymore. So they've just gone over to one of those department stores said you show me how to fold shit. Those anyway, those tuxedo shoes. Because I don't remember if it would have been rehearsal or afterwards. Were you wearing those shoes the last time you ever saw Kevin Dunn? I guess it was yes. And I wish I could say that there was still a little of his brain matter on the pointy toes. But but no, though, those were yes, those were the shoes that I was standing in when I walked by the Kevin Dunn on purpose the last time that I ever saw it as he turned away from me and huddled in a deep conversation over in the corner. So he couldn't see me and I continued by that was our interaction. But yeah, so you can you know you can see the world through my eyes on my eyeglasses or walk a mile in my shoes. If don't try to walk a mile in tuxedo shoes. That's why I bought these things instead of renting them because of my extraordinarily flat feet. I don't want to be fucking miserable. But now I'm not I do not imagine anyone will ever see me in a tuxedo again. Can you see what would call for that to happen? Some Saudi princess. Hey, I want you to come to my wedding. I don't know any Saudi princes and princes or their daughter, daughter, princess daughters that would be any of the prince or princesses this is that they're offspring that would be getting the episode where we forgot how to speak English upon us today. Are you ready to talk about some wrestling? Yeah, road dog. Brian James, the former roadie and road dog and DX member close friend and confidant of. Triple H has apparently quit. The WWE. And. That's all I heard at first and then. If on further examination of trying to find out what people are saying, nobody knows the facts, but a lot of people saying. That he's recently was given his annual review. I guess they do that now. Because everybody's an employee or something or other and. Some people are saying it would related to that, but other people are saying he's after he was given his annual review. Apparently they might have said something him eating fucking like. Because the Armstrong's get to a point where they decide they've had enough and then they just go they go home to Penscola. But what do you know about this young Brian? Not too much. You know, the first thing I heard was just he was out. Not whether he quit or whether he was fired, just he was out. And then the performance review stuff started going around and. That's where it kind of gets a little muddy, I guess. Did he hear something he didn't like and just say, fuck you, I'm going home. Well, see, and they said, OK. Well, and now sometimes. Sometimes when people say I'm going home, they're hard to argue with right at that point. And there's also the potential that they didn't might not want it to. But. There's also the potential that he just fed up enough of whatever the fuck. What was the famous line from Betty Davis to another actress in the 40s whose husband was messing around on her? She said, darling, is the fucking you're getting with the fucking you're getting. Is is he just reached a mirror cracked moment? His brother Steve Armstrong, I told you this off the air, but I'll say it. Fuck it. Because it's fucking classic. Steve Armstrong went up there to work in, I think, 1992. And they made him Lance Cassidy, the singing cowboy or whatever the fuck he was. And he got on the they put him on one of those trips on the road. Where he hadn't been home in three weeks or whatever. And he told me because he came to work for me in the Smoky Mountain finally after that. And he said, I got up one morning like the super eight hotel and went in the bathroom and the mirror cracked. He said, I just he just packed his shit up and came home, went home to fucking Pensacola. And was was just as happy for it. He just so I mean, the road dog has obviously lasted a lot longer. But at some point. He may he may have felt disrespected by something they said. Or on the unreal episodes, Brian, he did sometimes look a little disgruntled like, well, fuck. But I don't. But it's the story is not going around that they gave him a bad review and then they let him go. It's that he went in and quit after they gave him a review. So I don't know what to think otherwise. And he's like, well, fuck it then, which is to me is hilarious because he's he's one of the last remnants of the wrestling business. Nobody had any none of the other writers on the goddamn team you ever hear about. So I'll fuck it. I'll just go home. It used to happen all the time. You know, and SmackDown hasn't been good or at least enjoyable. But then again, neither has raw by and large. There are moments and matches, but the entire experience is not a pleasurable one as a viewer and as a wrestling fan. And there are weeks where you could just skip it. So you don't know how much of SmackDown. Is the responsibility of the head writer of SmackDown because being the head writer of SmackDown doesn't mean like everything I pick gets on SmackDown. It means he's delivering the script to the next person to the next person to get up to Triple H. So wasn't there some kind of chain of command listed with the this other writer, which I'll get to in a second. They got a new raw writer. Writer. But I'm going to make this blanket statement, which covers everybody, even the knuckleheads on the fucking creative team. It the fact that they have 10 or 15 of these writers, apparently on each show means that you can't judge anybody on this creative team by what the fucking creative is. Because you've either got a couple people who really know what they're doing that's getting outvoted or out politic. Or you've got a couple people who really know what they're doing. That's trying to do shit, but the couple people that really don't know what they're doing on the other end of the spectrum are dragging them down in the middle or somebody in the middle of that has a favorite that has managed to make just enough of a little change that it didn't come off like it should. So you can't judge anybody. The only way you could judge a booker. On the creative team. Is if they were the only one. The only one that gets fairly gets to be judged as the booker is Triple H because he gets the final decision, but you don't know what. Anybody on the team has contributed except when you see it on Unreal. Does that make sense, Brian? Is Brian James or anyone in the head writer position? Do they ever submit the show they want to submit? Or are they submitting a show that they think will get past Bruce Prichard to Triple H? You know what I mean? Like it's like submitting something for Vince's approval. You're not writing the show you want to write. You're writing something that this guy who wants to be in charge of everything will want on the show. And again, I'm not trying to take whatever bad creative or good creative the road dog has. It's not even about that. We don't know because it's someone else's show. And well, go ahead. I'm sorry. Well, I. It's you've you've got an element of something there, but it's not necessarily as cut and dried a reason or as simple as that in that. Even if you're the head writer of a show, if within this company structure, you have a structure in the company where OK, we've got these guys, they have to be pushed to have to be figured in, blah, blah, blah. OK, I'm going to write for them. But now also, well, these other people and the other creative teams are voting for these other people to be featured. And so you're sometimes turning in a format to the guy above you with like you might agree with 60 percent of the shit on there just because the other people have to have their goddamn input. And then you give your thoughts. But when that guy delays the information, as Reggie B. Fine would say one time on TV to the next person up, they may be putting more passion into the pitches for their fucking particulars. And it just it's it's goddamn Jesus Christ is worse than the Hollywood studio system in terms of more steps you have to follow and more input. At least they'd have a script writer or two. And the producer would try to tell a director what to do and they're done. But post Vince McMahon, I still don't understand why they want this system, why it's still in place. The system Vince McMahon built where he has to have a giant writing team and they have to fly around and they have to submit shows up to the last second and stay up all night. Why does they need to be a team? Well, because wrestling never needed that until Vince McMahon decided he wanted that. And then everyone was like, well, that's what we need. We need writers. But no, and again, somebody I'm going to I'm going to cut off the comments that some people are going to make by saying, well, it's so much bigger now than it was then and that is correct. There is so many more people involved and so much more bullshit because they have made it to the point where every single goddamn thing has to be written every day. OK, here's the schedule for fucking to Zawa to fart this afternoon at three, three, forty, five and four, thirty, tell him don't eat beans for lunch. Everything's scripted and then there's so many promos and so many commercials and so many blah, blah, blah. You got 18 million people running around with a fucking well, used to be with a. Pad and paper now it's with a goddamn some type of device said, OK, I'm producing this. And but at the creative level, they make work for themselves. There's there should be a lot of producing minions for all the ancillary video and spots and promos they have to do, but deciding nuts and bolts of the cards, the wins, the losses and the TV formats for the major shows. You three people, three fucking people that live, breathe and eat to wrestling business and there you have it. Well, we'll see what happens with Brian James, of course, like you said, a new head writer on Raw. Her name is Alexandra Williams. Well, yes, because I was going to now here on the other side of the coin, which I've never met Alexandra. But I've no not only road dog, but many members of his family, even though I in all fairness, I have not talked to the road dog in in years and years since last time I've seen anybody in person. But at least I have met him. And I'd like to think that he just he know I'm fucking. I'm pissed off. I'm going home. I'm fucking old. But this woman, Alexandra Williams, who is now she announced on LinkedIn. This was this went out on the wrestling news sites. So I'm not like prying into her social media. But I guess LinkedIn is a place where people brag about their jobs. Why did she she put her own press release out? It's where, you know, professionals, it's like a social media site for business professionals, and some people use it for networking. Some people use it to find jobs and, you know, some people are very, very active on there for who knows what reason. Well, she's got a job, but she seems to be very happy with but wants to brag about. So I don't know what the fuck she's crowing about. But anyway, she's got her chest all poofed out. Is Aunt Lola might have said, is she announced on LinkedIn she's been promoted to lead writer of Monday Night Raw and is now a vice president of VP for the company. On her account, Williams wrote as VP and lead writer for W. W. E. He's flagship live program. I oversee all creative development for Monday Night Raw, one of television's longest running and highest rated weekly shows. I pitched to and collaborate with executive leadership and a cross functional writing team to conceptualize and execute week to week storylines, character arcs, premium live event buildups, including Wrestlemania and Survivor Series. I help drive the full creative process from episode rundowns to long form narrative strategy, developing, I need oxygen, developing complex characters and compelling feuds that deepen audience engagement across live broadcast digital platforms and social media. My work is informed by an analytical approach, tracking segment performance audience trends and viewership data to make real time and long term programming decisions. Fuck off. In partnership with talent producers and brand leadership, I've contributed to record setting live attendance and revenue growth or live event attendance and revenue growth, helping position Raw as the cornerstone of W. W. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. an entire line of their own shit. Well, apparently she likes her own shit. And apparently she thinks she's a big part of the big machine. And obviously she's the mastermind behind everything we've seen on Raw that we've liked over the last few years. It must all be hers. I can't explain that. I'm looking right here. I just Googled her and... That's, yeah. And here's the thing. If you, the greatest booker in the history of... Let's say you went up to Eddie Graham and said, Eddie, what is your job? And he would have said, I manipulate people's emotions to sell tickets. And that would have been the end of his fucking statement. Oh, Christ, on a cracker, this insufferable, why in the world do they, they're huffing, literally huffing. I bet they're farting jars and taking it into the meetings to fucking pass around and sniff each other's. Because she's presenting herself because WWE won't last forever and she'll have to get another job somewhere else in entertainment. And this will sound really impressive. And wherever that is, you probably don't have to worry about shoot interviews of people saying, yeah, she was fucking Ed Koski, whatever the fuck, you know what I mean? Like she's ready for her future in the real entertainment industry. But you, the first fucking glimmer of knowledge that you had this woman existed was when I was reading to you what she wrote in her own words and you had said, oh fuck you, three quarters the way in. Well, how is this supposed to fucking make her look good? Can you imagine too, like, I'm sure this is not how it played out, but let's just imagine Brian James is in there for his review and all of a sudden she was, and by the way, meet the new head writer of Raw. What the fuck? According to the wrestling observer, she reports to Ed Koski, who reports to Bruce Prichard, who reports to Paula Vec. There are multiple chains up the, I mean, just, it's so ridiculous. She's the head writer of Raw. So again, I think none of this is needed. We don't need writing teams. It has not helped the product. And based on the way a lot of people are doing their promos, it may not be overnight, but I think it would help everyone and everything if people started sounding more natural. And we're going through a period where no one's sounding natural again. They might not have too many people. What they have is too many people on the creative team. Like I said, if they had three people on the creative team that told the other 27 or whatever, this is what we're doing rather than inviting the input from those other 27, then you'd have a little sharper fucking program. Or the boys and girls could just go into business for themselves, Brian. Is this, are we hearing that our beloved Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill have gone into business for themselves? Is this part of a carefully contrived plot is this something that they turned from a semi-shoot into a full-bledged work? It's a full-bledged one, yeah. Is it a full-bledged work? And also did poor Piper Niven just get in the middle and say, well, you know what, fuck you, you bitch, without realizing she was in the middle of something when she's out of their goddamn picture. Yeah, no one would've thought a dew drop in a minute. All of a sudden she's in this feud. Well, that's good. I think she was coming to fire back thinking that it was a shoot, that she's going, now listen one minute, you fucking whore, type of tone and didn't realize that she, that's like when they were fake arresting me in Spartanburg and I didn't know it, but Baby Doll did as they dragged me past her, she's giggling. And I'm like, why are you laughing at you fat fucking bitch? He straightened up real quick. Grim or not, she wasn't smiling in, but I didn't know, I thought she was laughing at me being taken to fucking jail. So what I'm thinking is that goddamn, did old Piper just come into this because she's like, hey, hey, you're taking it, I'm taking it up for my friend. What helped me understand this because they were trying to argue snidely. I can't, I can't pick up Twitter arguments unless it's a clear, hey, fuck you, pal. And here's why type of thing, instead of them trying to be all snidely. That still by the way is my favorite story, you getting fake arrested and everyone around knowing it was a rib was laughing and you honed in on the one person who you were about to work. No, no, that's a no, everybody else wasn't laughing. That's not, they fucking, they were working. They kept it straight. I was looking from, they were fucking, like, oh, looking, oh shit. Cause I was playing, I was saying, somebody gets David Crockett, get somebody named Crockett. Don't worry, Jim. That type of thing. And then there's baby dogs just fucking curled up laughing. I'm like, you fucking, hey. Then what happened? Like did it end right there? They keep walking you or what happened after you cursed her out? Well, no, that's what they took me. It's hard to explain the layout of the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, but they took me out the door. Instead of going left, where I would have been immediately in the arena, they turned me right where you would go out the back door. Where the James boys were carrying me to lynch me behind the truck, that fucking door there. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. And right before I would go out again in the back where the people were, I think at first, they may have been gonna take me and put me in a car. They put other people in a car to really fucking rub it in, but there was fans out there. So they stopped me at the back door. They said, read this warrant we've got. And I'm like, what if I make sure you see it's been signed. And I looked down and that's what I realized. It'd been signed by big daddy Jimmy Crockett. And then they started laughing. Cause I think they, although now that I think about it, the way that I was all indications were that if they let me get out that back door, I may have made a run for it. And back in those days, 40 years ago, they didn't want to run up that fucking hill to catch me. They might have said, it's better or better, you would have run up the hill. You would have. Well, they might have thought I would. And I don't know if I saw a fucking blue sky and sidewalk, but I think I'm going to jail in Spartanburg. And again, this was 40 years ago. I was a lot lighter and before I blew my knees. So these fucking cops were older and fucking heavier. So they exposed the rib to you outside. What happens when you go back inside? When do you see baby doll again? I think she was avoiding me for a while. I think about it. We never actually, we just continued it. Cause that's one of the only places that I would see doll where we were working the program with each other because there was no even like regular room that could be used for the lady. She was the only girl on the roster to change. So she just had to sit in the middle. When you went in this door to the right was the heel lock room. To the left was the baby face locker room. And she dressed in the hallway in the middle where the monitor sat. So that way it was cramped quarters. But we, you know, then we went back to just working and not speaking for a while. Well, I guess it's a good thing you guys didn't have Twitter is the point. Well, yes, because what it, that's the point is what in the world am I hearing about all the stuff going on between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill and other people started getting involved. And how did this begin? Well, again, I have here, there's a whole bunch of things. As soon as this happened, people start sending an over saying, I can't wait to hear Jim talk about this. Well, I don't know what I can't understand when I'm seeing bits and pieces off of Twitter of who instigated what. Let me go to what the observer wrote up. Oh boy. He's, we know he's on Twitter constantly. It was, exactly. It was basically the two building their match by trying to be inside with Cargill talking about how Ripley was the second option. And Dave says he's not sure if she was referring to Bianca Belair, who as we know was supposed to be in the main event at WrestleMania if the injury hadn't happened. Or Liv Morgan, who won the match to get a title shot. Ripley said that all you seem to do is talk. And that's literally it. Cargill wrote back, talk like the hours you spend talking to creative. Oh, good Lord. Ripley wrote back, you're funny. That's funny. Now we know you really do the talking out of your ass because everything you say is bullshit. Don't spread lies on my name, you dumb bee. Okay. I don't think anybody's mad if they call somebody a dumb bee. Yeah, this is Twitter. You gotta be able to spell that out. Cargill wrote back, oh God, another victim. Will you girls lighten up and stop crying? We haven't even started yet. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven ended up jumping into this. Green said that Rhea, this is a quote, Rhea is proof that you can be kind, respectful, and the most talented wrestler in the world. That's just, and the sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar. How is that an inflammatory statement? She's just praising someone without commenting on anybody else. Well, again, Jade wasn't mentioned, but Jade then wrote, it's no point to even go and embarrass yourself on this app. You always have something to say about everything. And then Niven jumped in with, who, TF, who the fuck, even said anything about you. To Cargill, contrary to your belief, the world doesn't actually revolve around you. No point to even embarrass yourself on this app. Give you enough ring time and you'll do it yourself. Oh, Jesus Christ, that's what I hear coming, Piper. I love her. I wanna contribute to her goddamn medical fund to get her back as quick as possible. The other girls, the first two, are jousting back and forth with each other. We think to promote their event and Chelsea jumps in, because that's a thing she does, but she didn't say anything inflammatory. But goddamn, as soon as Piper thought that Jade was on Chelsea, she's like, hey, fuck you, hold up, pump the brakes. And she went right to the goddamn meat of the matter. That's fucking great. Well, Cargill responded, that's above your pay grade, Piper. Relax. Yeah, vicious comeback. Oh, excuse me, excuse me, I actually missed, there's one before that. Cargill then wrote back, hey, Piper, I hope you're healing okay. Can't wait to give you some ring time. To which Niven wrote back, yeah, maybe by the time you're back from your many vacations, I'll finally be recovered. Lick my ring, yaboot. That's the way it's written here in the observer. And then Cargill wrote back. And then we don't know whether that's Dave having a stroke or that's some kind of slang from over there in the UK, but. That's above your pay grade, Piper, relax. So again, the girls are working and sounded like, and Piper hears something negative. He's like, hey, what the fuck, she didn't know. Oh, that's fucking great. So the issue may be that beyond this, whatever is playing out on social media with Rhea and Jade, there may be some talent there that don't like Cargill. So they wait for like, oh shit, there's an opening now. Go, go, go. Well, I mean, you can tell that there has been some pent up opinions, but here's the thing. We've seen this now, it's been five or six years or whatever since the experiment began. And Jade Cargill got into this business in a completely unique and bizarre way that nobody beforehand or ever, male or female, has ever had this path in the business. Some people, oh, they pushed Luger before he was ready or that, no, this is literally, they found this girl that had a unique look and said, we're gonna teach her how to wrestle. And they did to the extent that they did and put her on TV with her own belt that she defended against other girls. And as you called it one time, Brian, I think, this like this alternate universe where these are the people that interact with Jade Cargill. And she was never, she was not only was never defeated, but more importantly than that, she was just featured in a match to beat someone or to do interviews and sometimes given minions to have around her, but she was never put in a big pay-per-view match or really integrated into the full fucking world of the AEW roster. It was just like her own little thing and she'd never had to lose until she was leaving. If she had, and then when she goes to the WWE, now, once it had been a couple of years in, obviously they've realized they've got what they've got in the ring. She ain't gonna get any better. We can examine why she might not. That's the point. Is it because of the way she was brought in or just a natural not being able to do this or grasp this? Is it if she had started in NXT or in any wrestling school or wanted to be a wrestler or ever contemplated it before AEW, she would have not only been taught how to do moves and have matches and whatever, but how to think about the business and how to work with other people when it's not all about you, because it is a team effort at heart. Sometimes it would not all good intentions. And fundamentally, how to take care of yourself, but at the same time do things for other people or whatever, or just the, I mean, Tom McGee facet. At some point does somebody look great, but hit their level of that's as far as they can go and they can't go into farther. But mentally, she was not prepared for anything other than being a featured superstar on a national TV show. And not only did Tony Khan pay her well, but I'm sure the WWE's paying her well. But remember, didn't we say she's got a professional athlete that she's married to that I assume has a couple of dollars to rub together? Yeah, Brandon Phillips, he was a really good second baseman. So she's doing this at this point to be a performer on television and because she has fun being that bitch, but she's never been taught how to exist in the world of wrestling when she's not that bitch. And sometimes other people get to be that bitch. And most of the time, whoever that bitch is, had to earn being that bitch, instead of just saying it. She's got the character down and the attitude down and the aura down, the psychology, the mentality. I don't know. You know, again, I said mentality just because of this Twitter shit. I mean, you have to wonder what the fuck you're doing. Unless it's all just to work, but why would Piper Niven... Yeah, Piper was the one that didn't know that they were working is like, I'll tell you what I fucking think. Fucking douchebag. I thought that's great. Oh, she got over with me there. I mean, I hate to say that we had Rhea Ripley's name attached to this. She didn't do anything. It seemed like Rhea Ripley shouldn't even be involved in this. Well, but that's the thing is because people were believing that Rhea and Jade were sniping and, you know, and they were anxiously hanging on this, but it seems like to me at least it was a work, but then when Piper came in with a fucking sledgehammer and that was just unforeseen and poor thing. She's not even off the injured list yet, but she bought it. So somebody else had to buy it too, didn't they? Well, I wish we had gotten Bianca and Jade. That was the thing that we were building up from the moment Jade got there. And unfortunately it didn't work out. You know, and here I'll say one more thing. And then possibly people want to give me the finger, but God damn it, poor Bianca Belair. She's been out of action since last WrestleMania, which is almost a year now for a fucking, for her finger. And it's caused her that much pain and she came straight at some point. Even Brian, how bad would you need your index finger if you couldn't work for a year and it was giving you constant fucking pain and multiple operations? How bad do you need it? I mean, I use it a lot. What do you mean needed? I don't know how to answer that. Is there some point where you just take that fucking thing off? No, I don't think I would go, you're advocating for Bianca Belair to have her finger removed? Well, I'm like the poor thing. She's put up the videos of how she's having this painful physical therapy and the multiple surgeries and it's the pain and she hasn't been able to work in a year and it's just a stress and oh, it's horrible. I'm like, at some point, how much are you worth my fucking finger? Fuck you. Now if it was a leg or an arm, we're good, I'm gonna put up with a lot more goddamn aggravation. But there comes a point, I was ready with my big toe before they told me it was curable and it has been alleviated. I was like, well, fuck if I had to, I don't need that son of a bitch. I'd rather if I was gonna have it taken off, it'd be the one with the bunion on it, but that's the other foot. But there's no reason to go into that now. No, no, there isn't. But that was the Twitter news of the show, Rhea and Jade. Yes, Rhea and Jade and Bianca's finger. So you still maintain that you need all your fingers and toes? I don't think she's at the point yet where she would say remove my finger. It's not like it's rotten, it's just it's not healing correctly. Well, it's being selfful stubborn. Anyway, you know what they all need, whether it's Rhea or it's Jade or it's Piper or it's Eva Bianca to keep us appraised on whether she can give us the finger or not. They need their phones, they need their tablets, they need their media, they need their, all the things that the kids use, that's what they need. And to charge those things, Brian, they need our friends over at Ridge. And the amazing space age technology of the revolutionary five and one travel power bank with the built in cables that lets you charge all your devices at the same time with just one power bank, the size, not even as big as an eight track cassette tape. Ladies and gentlemen, and no extra cables, they just come, they flummox right, it's like a science fiction movie. These things, you can pull them out and they just come out in all directions like a goddamn spider climbing up the wall. And you can stick your phone in one and your headphones in the other one, you're watching one, you're kindling one. It's magnetic, so you can stick your goddamn phone right on the side of it and it sticks. And then if folks, let's say if you're sleeping in like a motel or somebody's apartment, you're in a guest bedroom, or you're just sleeping out in an alleyway in a strange location or in a box, you fear for your safety, put this thing, slap it on your phone, stick it in one of your socks and use it as a slap jack. If anybody comes around you in the fucking dark, just bean them right in a goddamn head because this can do some damage. It could, so you don't wanna do that and of course do not get yourself in that kind of situation. Why don't you focus on the benefits, the wonderful joys that one can get out of the ridge. I'll see, you know, the thing is, Brian, if you got five or six cords all tangled up in your bag that you gotta plug your devices in, not only do you have five or six cords all tangled up in your bag, but you still gotta plug that into something. You gotta plug it into the wall or something, right? That's got some power. Well, that's where this comes in because it's got the wires and gables and it's already got the power in it. It's got 20 Watts of power, 10,000 milliamp hours capacity, three full phone charges right there in this thing or whatever else you wanna charge, it'll charge those things too. But you don't have to plug it into the wall because the power is already there. And as I mentioned, you can stick the phone magnetically to the side of the charging bank as well as all these things. And if you've got something plugged into all these things and you put that in a sock, you swing that son of a bitch, one fucking shot, then somebody's going down, ladies and gentlemen. You won't go down with power. Power will be there whenever you need it with the great Ridge Magnetic Power Bank. Behind the back catch, like everything Ridge makes, it's built to last and it's got free shipping and 99 day risk-free trial and a lifetime warranty. You can take a hammer to this. As a matter of fact, it don't take a hammer to it because sparks will fly off of it that will electrify people around you. But also- No, it won't, no, they won't, no, it won't, it won't happen, no. You can take a hammer to it and you won't find out. And if you break down on the side of the road, you can take one of these cables out and stick it onto your jumper cable and attach the jumper cable. Well, at least to your balls, if not to the fucking battery in the car, just for a pleasurable time while you're waiting for AAA. But these things- No, no, let's focus on devices and phones and tablets and things that everyday people do, everyday people need an everyday power, like the power you get from the Ridge Magnetic Power. Look, everyday power, yeah, yeah. Charge your phone and charge your tablet. And these things are available in matte olive, base camp orange. Maybe that says the color of the cones on the highway, hyper lime, dark harbor. I don't know, that sounds like the fucking side of the lake at night. And matte black, that's what I got. Good old matte black, he never lets me down. But they got a variety of colors. They come with an LED charge status indicator, gives you the battery and charge levels, glance at it. You know how much juice you got. You know whether, and also if you got this thing in your pocket, somebody tries to slip their hand in your pocket and take their wallet, boom! They're gonna get a little jolt. They're gonna be, oh fuck it, they'll see steam coming out of their ears and they'll snatch their hand back out of your pocket. And if you have a Ridge wallet next to it, well then that creates an invisible force field a foot around you where no one can touch you without having a sharp electric shock. About, oh, about 12 to 14 inches away, Brian, wouldn't you say? I would say that this is nothing anyone would have to worry about. If this was a comic book, that may be a skill, an attribute that you would have, but that is not anything you need to worry about with the safe and magnetic Ridge Power Bank, Jim. Yes, see it's all about being magnetic. I understand. I understand it comes in. There's a great deal right now. I gotta tell them about the deal. Shut up so I can tell them about the deal.

Ridge. All right, well, Brian, we gotta talk a little bit about the TV wrestling from this last week. And of course, Raw, a few days ago, March the 2nd was from Indianapolis. And again, it's three hours. And there's a lot of downtime. So I wanted to recognize a couple of things because they are adding to these stories they are trying to build for WrestleMania, but they opened the thing with Paul Lee and Logan Paul and Austin Theory, the remaining ambulatory members of the vision. And Paul Lee, again, great promo, but he's vowing revenge on Seth and Theory got a little promo time. He's a little more comfortable, it looks like, on the mic. And then Logan Paul, they just hate him. And he makes the statement, they're calling Seth Rollins out. We won't leave until he comes out here. And of course Adam Pearce comes out and says, leave. And then here come the masked men. One masked man comes out and the security with Adam Pearce chases him away. And another masked man comes out and Logan Paul chased him out of the building. And then another one comes out and Austin Theory chases him out of the building. And then Paul realizes he's alone. And he starts getting the, you can tell because his cheeks start trembling and like shaking up and down. And he's nervous and another masked man appears. And while Paul is begging from him, the real masked man who is behind Paul. So how many was that one, two, three, four, five? This was number six. But anyway, as Paul is begging off from the last fake one, the real masked man pops his hood and it's Seth and he gets a big pop. And then he comes in and he hits Paul in the back with a chair and that poor chair. God damn. Whoop, it sounded like he was hitting a fucking heeled sleep mattress. And down went, down goes Heyman. Down goes Heyman. And he was selling like he was swimming in a pool with no water in it. It was, it was, cause he was laying on his belly so he, the rest of him couldn't really reach the ground. So his arms and legs were kind of almost suspended. All right. All right. Let's get back to what actually happened here and not exaggerate anything about. Report on the incidents. And then he got up in the right place and the Seth milked it and gave him a stomp and got a big pop. And then as Paul was laying there and quivering Seth ran out through the crowd and you see the EMTs coming out to check on him and oh, we go to the break. Oh, what's happening Heyman? And when we come back, they've already got him in the back of the ambulance and he's got a gimmick bloody nose like his face has been bashed in. And suddenly as they've loaded him in this ambulance, Jimmy Uso pulls up in a truck and or a SUV and starts beating up Austin theory who is trying to attend to Paul. And then he walked up to the ambulance and LA night was driving the ambulance. And he pulled out. And not in a sexual way. But it was it was very austinish, but they went to the trouble of Heyman doesn't take bumps very often they hit him with a chair and they stomp him and he's got the gimmick nose bleed. And then they turn it into the attitude era ha ha with one of the baby faces driving the ambulance. What were your thoughts? Like much of modern WWE there are little bits I liked in the midst of a giant sea of why did they do that? This doesn't make sense, whatever. The masked guy thing. Is it ever going to be explained? And we're just going to think that Seth Rollins had this crew of guys who could run around and act like you know fucking cat burglars. They got special forces background because they're they're staging on the attack and the timing on the attack. Yeah, how'd they get in the building? Are they part of the crew? Are we figuring out who they are? Because they would need time in the building to have an exit strategy to know where to have everyone chase you. The LA night thing in the back I thought was too much. Whether it's attitude error or you know, you think it's over you're in the ambulance and Freddy Krueger is driving whatever it is. You know, I could see what they're trying to do, but it almost is like, you know, hey, Russo's booking again. I didn't like that. I think everybody thinks of Austin when something like that happens. And that's a reason to. Just leave it to Austin because you're constantly going to be compared to it anyway. That will continue on later on with the. The vision sagas, but. Gunther had a match with Dragon Lee and. I'm saying it's not the match I want to talk about, but just what they did in it because it felt like trying to watch AEW at this garden gnome went 15 minutes competitively with Gunther. He's as big as one leg. But what they did was they. They get it was competitive. That was why it was not my cup of tea. But at the end, Gunther gets behind him and rips his mask off and puts a big sleeper on him, covering up his face, but he's got the sleeper and. Old Dragon Lee tapped out. Because he wanted to get out of there because he didn't want anybody see his face. And then Gunther held it a little extra after because he's a heel and a blah, blah, blah. But it did it because he was a little bit more but it did it became a controversy. I think Uncle Dave was on the side of defending Lucha Libre. But it was a controversy because somebody put up a fucking screenshot of the split second you saw this guy's face. And some people were and you can imagine which ones were up in arms. Oh, my God. They're pissing all over Lucha Libre. It's a dishonor to see the game. Yeah. I'm thinking the guy's probably honored that he's got this high paying of a fucking job. And that was the finish and they aired it on television. They didn't expect people to fucking analyze it like the Zapruder film. But they don't care. They should have. This is pro wrestling. That's exactly how wrestling fans do it. Well, but they don't care either because it's that's part of the fucking deal in Lucha Libre is when the guy gets denuded is a D masked that he covers up his face that that often causes him to fucking lose. And he'd rather that than reveal his face. And it also this guy's got the, you know, the teenage bout with leprosy, which caused severe disfigurement. Anyway. But the point is. It was part of the fucking angle. They don't care because it's not like seeing Mil Moscaras at one time or El Santo. It's dragon fucking Lee. Is anybody going to remember what he looks like next week? But I mean, we're this controversy. Do you think they're making too much out of it like I do? Or is this some kind of legitimate fucking gripe? You don't want the people mad at WWE for doing it or the people made the people who posted images of it on Twitter? I'm talking about the people that's mad at the people for getting mad at those people. So I'm talking about. Well, because I think anyone mad at people who have posted images of it. WWE had it on TV. It's their fault. They should have not shown that so you can see his face for a split second. And then they knew what to do. They pulled all the way back. I've never seen a WWE raw shot like that for the last couple of minutes of it. You know, you obviously have a lot of bad memories of the way Eric Bischoff treated Lucha Libre, specifically Rey Mysterio being told to get rid of the mask. Which I think most people. I was talking to you around that period of time. Most people would have thought that was insane. The idea you have this incredibly marketable star and you want to change that. They didn't say he's not going to wear his mask again. He was wearing makeup around his eyes as a lot of these guys do when the masks. It's not like there's a clear image of him. There's a blurry image of him getting choked out for a split second. I'm not against the. The finish or anything. No, I think that's fine. But, you know, I guess the the controversy I saw was just about the image of a luchador without his mask getting out there and how it's disrespectful to. Yeah, Lucha Libre. Just it's ridiculous that again, it's it's not a earthshaking revelation, unless somebody could match him up facially with one of the things with a goddamn noted bank robber in San Paolo or something. Then we then we'd have a story here. I mean, the other thing is it has happened and I don't know. Mysterio is the best one to point to. But before he went off the rails, so to speak, Alberto Del Rio, where you had a mask guy who when the promoter saw him without the mask, I was, oh, my God, you're a good looking person. I could use that. I could sell that. Unless they saw dragon without the mask and you know, and said, you know, dragon or Mr. Lee, we think we have another way forward. You can make lots of merch money. I don't know. Anyhow, does that mean we're going to get more of this, though? I guess that's the other question. Are we going to get more Gunther and Dragon Lee? Because now he has to get revenge for this. I hope not. I really hadn't contemplated that. Now you've just brought me all the way down. Because no, I don't want to go. There is a what is he doing at WrestleMania? He's a main event fucking guy and he's playing with the children. Anyhow, speaking of children. Were you going to ask me a question? I was just going to say they should bring in Mil Moscaris. Like get revenge for all the luchadors against Gunther and then go with the retirees. I don't think it not even goonther. I don't think Carl Gotch could retire fucking Moscaris. But speaking of children of people who had children, one of the usos, Jimmy Uso faced Austin Theory and I wanted to again watch Austin Theory see his improvement. I like the new gear. It looks good in terms of he's such got had such a great physique. He looked fine and tights, but now this gives him the personality and the little edge to him. But he's getting more confident in what he's doing. And again, I know some people are going to say, oh, he loves Austin Theory. I said, Theory is so boring. If that's the same thing that I see him as the same thing that Heyman sees, same thing that everybody else sees is that his athletic talent. And probably to be getting these chances, his personal effort behind the scenes and whatever the fuck. We're seeing what he can do as he's a puppy with big paws and he's growing. And unfortunately, this was with an Uso brother because that presents stumbling blocks. But. He's got animated bumping. He seems to always be in the right place. He doesn't rush at the same speed, but he bursts into things. And at the payoff, he'll slow down and react. He's got facials and body language for working like a heel. He's you can tell he's clearly working hard for the opportunity because. I'm not talking about the number of moves he's making, which is immaterial. He's on the whole time he's out there, which again, doesn't mean doing 100 moves. It means being Austin Theory. Facially, body language, reacting to your environment the whole time that he's out there, whatever he's visible, not just going through the motions. When he's performing something complicated, athletically, and then laying there like a fucking dead fish after he's done something that would kill people. It's it's more natural with him. But then. Jimmy Uso cleaned off the desk and put theory on top of it and went to the top rope. But Logan Paul came in the ring. So Uso dove on him and theory got on Uso and then he got on Uso. And got like 7.2 seconds of heat. And Jey Uso's music played. And Jey Uso, who remember they took him out on an ambulance last week, right? And this is the dastardly who done it, right, Brian? That's right. They took him out on SmackDown. Well, he came in from the back door and he was like, that's right, they took him out on SmackDown. Well, he came in from the back side with a pair of crutches, but he's goddamn ambulatory. He was showing no ill effects of anything. And he gave one crutch to brother. And he kept the other one and they beat up the fucking heels. So what? How was this? It was a thing that kept him out of the elimination chamber that he recovered from in seven days, good as he ever was. Same as it ever was. They just need they obviously needed to get him. We knew that, but could they make it any more obvious on their programming? We had to get this unplanned for Motherfucker out of the elimination chamber. I'm just saying it's going to suck when we get the vision versus the Uso's at WrestleMania. No. Did speaking to the vision, did you hear what Corey Graves said right at the end of this thing when the heels had been routed by the fucking, you know, hospital patrol? No, I actually skipped the segment. I have a Uso rule I've put into effect. Well, Corey Graves said he said, what's that word going around about the vision, Cole, snake bit? I guess a lot of people, I guess, have been using that term snake bit. For the vision. But again, I will just say that theory is in the upper percentage of natural workers. He picks up on shit. He's got a feel for it. And I would suggest that he keep doing exactly what he's doing right now and listening to everybody that he's listening to. And but his timing and shit for how to react to things is something that you just can't teach some people. But this kind of environment with this level of talent and this level of production is what poor old Cal Fletcher needs to ever get better mentally. And that way he would get better physically. But he's just he's stuck over in Indy land, which is why. Brian, we're recording this, right? This will live on for a few years. We pay our storage fee on the fucking cloud or whatever, right? We're all paid up. Yes. Over the next five years, Austin Theory will become a much larger star in the pro wrestling business than Cal Fletcher will. Unless Cal Fletcher comes to the same company that Austin Theory is currently at. And even then, I stand by that prediction. So March 2031. You're saying on that date, Austin Theory will be a big star or at least bigger than Kyle Fletcher. I'm saying over the next five years, Austin Theory will be a clearly delineated, bigger star, barring injuries or a safe fallen on somebody's head. Either side. Austin Theory will be a bigger, more major, more marketable and more well used, recognizable star in a professional wrestling industry. Then Cal Fletcher will be. Unless Cal Fletcher gets out of where he is and gets some some learning in it. So you know already, there's nothing that like. Get some of the listeners riled up and even some of the wrestlers who listed riled up like your praise for Austin Theory. There's people who completely don't see anything and think that this is where you and Heyman are crazy. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with anybody that doesn't see anything. I can understand having a learned discussion like does he have the the bass in his voice to sound authoritative enough or. You know, is he going to really develop it over the top personality that we can snatch on to or, you know, debates on fine points like that. But to think that he's not in the upper echelon of guys in the ring right now, just as an athletic performer at that young of an age, you're a complete fucking imbecile in the wrestling business is what you are. Did I insult anybody there? I didn't mean to. I mean, I'm OK with what you're saying, but. Like I said, I meant to royal you the feedback we get. This is one of those things that divides people. There are people who think you're crazy and there's people like, yeah, I see it too, but a lot of people are not with it. Well, as Frank Spaceman Hickey would say, not with it, not with it. You need to get with it. Well, if you're not with it, you're out of it. Yeah, because if you're with it, if you're not with it, you're without it. With or without you. Oh, no, let's not. Let's go back to the review. W. W. E. Raw. We got, you know, Dan housing. Let me just say that Dan has and Dan has and Dan has and does that work where he pops up and does something. If you say that name. He was back. This was his second appearance. And. But I can't again tell you how many. Well, you know, because you see it more than I do. That people are like, well, the first night bombed at the pay per view. The box expected it through everybody off. He bombed the first night, but the second night. Wow, it was easy. He knocked it out of the park. I'll tell you one thing. I'll I'm going to say some good things about this kid in a minute. And I like that he's got this. Appeal for some of some kind, for some reason, that people want to see him succeed and get over the segment of the audience that knows who he is and is. Who could become enamored of what he does there in his corner, rooting for him harder than most people. Or that most people get people rooting for him. But here's the thing. This was like a skit in two parts. And the first part was great. And the finish was flattered and four o'clock, flattered in a plate full of piss. So let's talk about the good stuff. He does a thing with Adam Pierce and Pierce is a perfect straight man. And he knows not to derail Dan Housen's momentum, but he's just there to do the fill. Like, you know, what are we doing here? And Dan Housen does his thing and he reacts and Dan Housen does his thing. He read you see what I'm saying? Pierce knows how to do it. He's got good timing. He's fucking quick. Dan Housen has a list of demands. He wants his own blimp. He wants a Hall of Fame induction. He wants a personal assistant. He wants his face on the trucks. And he gives Pierce the list, which is soggy because it fell in the toilet. And Pierce drops it. OK, it's childish. It's juvenile, but they made it work, right? That's what this whole thing actually kind of is to begin with. You know, Dan Housen's very entertaining and very funny, but Pierce kind of made this part work because his reactions were perfect. That's the thing is this. That's what I'm going to try to tell everybody, including anybody that's listening that has a vested interest, such as one of the performers in this. If you happen to be listening. Take note. If he's got somebody to play off of, it works a lot better. And when he does it, and then Pierce did it, I can understand the writers thinking, oh, and then this will be funny. It's what we used to do with people at the gardens, right? Well, get them and talk to Ronnie Ellinggood. Pierce says, hey, Judgment Day, have you met Dan Housen? And now we're going from the quick, the snappy pattern and the little edit. Yeah, it's up. And now there's Finn and JD and Dominic. Dominic. Could be a. You know, can do a little comedy, a little funny, a little haha. But Finn and JD are just stone faced and they, they're not natural comedians. They don't necessarily have the timing to go back and forth with this particular gimmick. So it, it went from a little energy and a little witty banter with in a juvenile fashion with peers to they're just staring at each other. There was no material there. They said a few things. But there was no funny lines. And then. He just died. Dan Housen, curse Dominic. And then when they turn around, he's disappeared. The first half was great. That's what they need to do if they're going to do Dan Housen. The second half was flat and didn't make anybody look good. And I mean, did you feel the same energy? Yes and no, to me, the biggest problem was just him disappearing at the end because literally one of the guys was facing in the direction Dan Housen was. Dominic turned around the other guys didn't. And then he's just gone. Dominic's reaction to that was good. I like what JD said. I think he said after Dan has disappeared, he's a Batman. Like that's a thing. I mean, that was my biggest. I actually didn't mind. It wasn't as good as the pier stuff. The material wasn't as good, but it was fun to get to see the new characters interact with each other. I think here's what I think they need to do with Dan Housen. Because this is his gimmick and. Just he needs to stand or fall with it. I think if I was. They've got him here. They made the investment. It might not be my cup of tea wrestling wise, but if I was in charged. Interested with booking him. I would say, okay. Dan Housen. Give me 45 seconds between you and so and so that you can give me the material. Tell me what you would have all of y'all say. This is your gimmick. Do you think you can get it? This is your gimmick. Do you do a weird fucking sleight of hand trick or shock someone in some fashion or have some witty banter or whatever? What is your fucking thing? Give it to me. Tell me what it is. And then I might have some. Ideas input on. Well, let's turn it this way. So the camera gets it better or change a word, whatever the fuck. But I would let the guy stand or fall on his own fucking material. And if this is his gimmick and they're making this investment, let him write these little backstage goddamn wing dings. And if it's just if it's ludicrous, you've still got the the X-nail factor, the veto. But otherwise give him four or six weeks and let him do some of this backstage shit and him and Pierce. Come up with not just him and Pierce, but him and people that have an aptitude like Pierce for working with a quirky character in a 45 second to one minute. Glyb exchange. Let him write a shit and see at the end of six weeks. If anybody still wants to buy a shit, or if he's more over or less over and then you'll know. But I would I would let him I'd let him do his own shit and see what his shit is. You know, after that debut at Elimination Chamber and we did the review and we we didn't say anything bad about Danhousen. We ripped on the segment. We actually said I think he's a very nice man is what we said is a thing. Well, yeah, but I also think it made some people mad because they can't wrestle because they just they're used to the comedic mascot wrestling matches. But the next day after Ron after we put up the clip of the review of the Elimination Chamber segment, people are like, oh, you guys were too quick. You see, it's all better now. He was on for a minute. Yeah, a minute on a three hour show backstage. I hope they use him well. He's funny. I hate I don't want them to lean into the ridiculous side of it like magic and teleportation or anything. But he's a funny guy. And I enjoyed him and him and Pierce's reaction to the soggy paper was great. That made me know enough that I want more of that. It looked like it. Yeah. Well, hey, now a pissy paper. It looked like he was holding up something that he'd found in the fucking toilet at the ECW arena at a ring of honor taping. But nevertheless, I don't want to give anything away here. Although we're not going to do a lengthy dissertation of it. But Dominic then goes out after he's cursed Dominic and loses the Intercontinental title. So and a lot of people is oh, see already. He's well. Are they? I guess Dan housing is going to say, see, I cursed you. But I don't think that everybody the announcers and all the talent was beaten into death. But if they were going to do that, I'll say this and we'll move on. If they were going to do that with them, shouldn't he they have the opportunity Dan housing to do four to six weeks of the backstage stuff that he's getting himself and his shit over and letting people know what the fuck's going on with him. But one guy. Doesn't take it kindly and is offended by it and fucking does something to push him around or fucking bully him as the kids say or whatever. And that's the guy he curses. And then the guy goes out and he fucking he's on the verge of winning the thing and he stands up on the top rope and a goddamn rope breaks a fall to boom and he gets covered because he's knocked out. And then you make something of that, but it could have happened anyway. It has before but golly awful coincidental. But are we just the second day in the company curses the guy out of a belt? What what's happening here? That was one of the funny lines to where Dominic has the building goes. Oh this can I have this can I have this? No, you know, I like Dan housing. I really if if I could I would right now produce a regular television show starring Dan housing and Gwen Gully and Harley Cameron and just find a way to make it all work. But we'll see where they go. They're selling a lot of merch. Every independent toy company had any Dan housing project that they were getting ready for the launching that right. So I mean, you know, he's making a lot of people a lot of money, including that that contract he signed with Adam and Eve is really going to come in handy. Well, I don't know about that kind of toy, but it will see where they go with that Dan housing, but people certainly like them a whole lot better night to than they did night one. I'm telling you that's the reality show damn that Dan housing, but the thing is, Brian, if Dan housing is going to wrestle in a WWE, he's going to have to gain some weight. He's going to have to start eating better. I think don't you believe that that he would have started getting getting on a better diet, eating better. He would be rather slight and WWE. Yes, he would probably eat. He's just started eating more and maybe maybe it's because he's too busy. He's running around from coffin to coffin cursing people. He's too busy to prepare a big gourmet meal with all the lean proteins and the colorful veggies and the whole food ingredients, the quality and functional type of things that you enjoy in a in a nice reputable diet, dietitian approved chef prepared type of thing. He's just probably eating fast food. He doesn't know about our friends and factor. And I'm I'm I think it would be easy to fatten him up because he's probably a picky eater and he's eating the fast food. He's just getting poor nutrition and not much of it. Look at I don't know anything about what dad housed and Jess, but I never look at him ago. That fast food maniac. Well, no, it's it's he's eating like a bird, but it's all unhealthy. That's why he's got he's got TB. You know, he was diagnosed with TB TB twin bellies. Oh, come on now. And he's got the furniture disease. His chest is in his drawers. But right now, come on, let's be he could eat quality food, a healthy diet, build his muscle, reduce his fat, but batten down his hatches with our friends and factor. The meals are always fresh and never frozen. They're ready to about two minutes. No prep, no stress. So he can go on about his busy day without having to eat garbage and pick at it like a bird. And of course, then he's allergic to garlic being the vampire that he is. So they've got all kinds of options, a hundred rotating weekly meals, high protein, calorie smart, Mediterranean diet, GLP one support, Transylvanian, vampire friendly, all kinds of meals. No, not that one. That's with no garlic. That's for our friends in Romania and parts east. Let's worry about the domestic United States. Plus the new muscle pro collection supports strength and recovery. If you're getting back into a workout routine from say being, I don't know, laying in a coffin for hundreds of years and you've gotten quite out of shape and you need the muscle pro collection from factor. But all you got it, you know, if you lay in the same position two or 300 years, you're going to have some atrophy. Once again, they have a lot of great packages, a lot of great meals. I personally, every time I choose the Teriyaki salmon, a personal favor here in the house. But you know, you just eat salmon, you're a salmon maniac. How can you eat salmon 24 hours a day? I like the filet with the creamy Parmesan shrimp, which you can, you can dip the filet around in the creamy Parmesan and it's just swell. I'll put my Teriyaki salmon up against your wimpy little filet any day of the week, buddy. Well, I'll tell you what, see, that's the thing that Dan housing can't have either one of those because they got garlic in them. He'll melt before your very eyes. But he, that's an interesting question. Is the Mediterranean diet may work for him. Does Dan housing have the attributes, the qualities of a typical vampire? Where garlic would affect them like a vampire? Well, he's got the cape and the pale face. The pale face should be a sign of vampirism in the blood. I possibly he's just a ghoul. Well, folks, I'll tell you what, it never, if you like goulash folks, head to factor meals dot com slash J C E 50 off and use the code J C E 50 off to get 50% off and free breakfast for a year.

Once again, a great deal for factor meals. Jim, one last time that promo code J C E 50 off factor meals dot com slash J C E 50 off. It's positively ghoulish. Hey, Jim, I swear to God, I've seen this actor on three different episodes of Rifleman in the last week and a half. You know the guy with the goofy eyes? Tall looks kind of like goofy from the cartoon. Well, wait a minute. Hold on now. He's on the Mark Twain episode right now, but yesterday or the day before. You're not talking Jack Elam. You're talking about the tall skinny guy with the the week chin also. Yeah, he was in the again. The Mark Twain episode is on now and yesterday it was the one where Lucas his old friends from the theater show up and they're playing chess, but they want to kill each other. I've seen this guy on multiple episodes in the last week. Different character every time. Are you are you upset that he got so much work when he was young? No, he's great. He's got his old now. He can't be alive now. Well, what are you? You're just going to kill him with no fucking. No fucking thought. What think of his if his family is listening right now. It's first time they've heard about it. The Rifleman Mark Twain. What is this guy's name? I've seen him in so many episodes just recently. This is from 1961. This is interesting stuff, ladies and gentlemen. Jackie. He's 65 years ago. Jackie. Well, so I was Jackie. Yeah, well, he didn't look like goofy. He had a wide face. Goofy had a tall sloping face. Well, he the way his body was. I thought you were talking about somebody like K cuter. No. I've seen this guy on multiple episodes the last week. I've said that multiple times. Let's go back to the multiple WWE Raw segments. We still have remaining here on the show. Well, there was one thing with just I want to comment on this just for just a minute, just to not let it go by Rhea Ripley. They have lost the plot on how to present her and what people want to see from her and what makes her different. They got Jackie Redmond out there by the way. I did like the see through top. She was wearing Redmond. That is. But she introduces Rhea to talk about the elimination chamber, but she comes out with EO and does the promo. Oh, losing the tag team championship was, you know, just it was a big deal to her, right? EO is her best friend and she hugged EO and thanked her as the thank you for pulling me out of a dark situation. And then EO turned into a grinning six year old, hopping up and down and then speaking gibberish and grinning, telling Rhea to win the title and Rhea's I'm going to do it for you. EO. I'm going to see Jade at WrestleMania. Again, between the they make EO sky act like she's fucking mentally six years old, the literal grinning and hopping and down and just gibberish speaking. Rhea Ripley's out there saying, I was in a dark place. I was in you pulled me out of it. The fuck people want to see Rhea Ripley come out, put that big foot in the air and fucking stomp and beat the shit out of the other girls and be the Eliminator or the eradicator or the fornicator, whatever the fucker goddamn phrase is. Instead of being out there hugging this little child and being old, teary and it's like they were having a fucking slumber party in the 60s on a comedy show. Am I taking this to personally? Well, she's your favorite. So I don't think so. But I mean, is that the way to present Rhea Ripley? Well, again, I think we're about to hopefully get a sea change. That's why they're doing this. They broke up the tag team and now this, I don't know if she's going to turn heel. I'm not saying that, but we did. I think they're going to hopefully put the fucking belt on her. But even if they don't, she's back in the title picture as a single. But nevertheless, she doesn't have to bring EO out there and fucking fawn all over. She's and I'd like to wish EO Sky my former partner all the best for future fucking endeavors. And anyway, just this simpering fucking soft emotional horse shit on my wrestling. They need to give Rhea Ripley some kind of big fucking stick to just come out and just beat that shit out of people with to rehabilitate her for having to team up with that fall fall, fall child, that small child. Since last fall. And then they beat Dominic for the Intercontinental title with Penta. And I it was a long match. I like Dominic. I've seen all the penta that I want to see because I've seen everything he can do. I had just written down that I wish they would get Dominic in some interesting singles programs again with a good old baby face and then they beat him. But they beat him because Finn stopped JD from interfering because he said he was going to do it by himself. Let him do it by himself. So Finn is continuing his baby face turn because he's found honor and Penta gave the destroyer to Dominic 123 and new champion. Well shit is what I wrote. Well shit. That's what a Lola would have said. Well shit. What'd you say? I said, let's go to the main event. The segment after this match. Alrighty then. I'm telling you what if you need two guys to talk them into building and get a fucking match over. I think they found the two. This is a Roman Reigns and CM Punk is a great combination. I have not particularly been electrified. I think I've told you Brian by anything Roman Reigns really done since the bloodline thing because the bloodline was interesting. Roman's kind of yeah to me without it. But now he's he's got him a little edge again. He's he's he's a different kind of promo than Punk. Punk can go into more detail in the ways that he can tear you up verbally. But Roman shit because of his attitude and his delivery. He can say fewer words and still get to the same bone. You see what I'm saying? I guess. Wait at first with Roman he milked it like he usually does. He's walking around the ring. Acknowledge me. And that's all he gets to say before Punk interrupts it. But he comes out grinning and shaking hands and taking his time and the longer he's doing that and he's laughing and he's looking up at Punk at Roman. The more that he does that he can tell it's getting under Roman skin and you can tell it's getting under Roman skin because he's portraying that in a subtle way. And he's staring a hole through Punk and the fans are chained for Punk now they chanted OTC for Roman now they're chained for Punk and Punk's like why are you mean bugging me? He's taken a sarcastic tone to get under this fucking in his mind probably self important fucking guy's skin. And Romans the one that tells Punk well you're the one with the thin skin and Punk said well great I got bags under my eyes because for seven weeks I got to carry your bullshit to WrestleMania. And they argued over who brought who to the dance because in Indianapolis it was the Shields debut. Punk said I brought you to the dance. He'd know you brought the other two. And they just again it's a it's two guys that can talk and in different ways. And it's not as egregious as when recently the example is MJF and Adam Page where one guy has to stand there just absorbing it and bearing up under it and suffering through it while the other guy just says every goddamn horrible thing for five minutes. This is a back and forth. This is a contest if not an argument. You can't call it an argument because they're not you know just jumping in and interrupting each other over and over and yelling but they are they're having a contest with each other verbally back and forth. It feels more natural. That they're really saying these things that they really mean rather than having memorized some kind of dramatic script. Dramatic script. And Roman Roman kept calling him out Phil Phil. We we brought you back to entertain the 40 year old virgins living with mom and dad. Maybe sell a few t-shirts maybe draw a house in Chicago but being champion that's too much responsibility for you. He's just belittling a guy that normally doesn't get belittled verbally. But he said we can't trust you you're a liar you're not happy you're not smiling. Whatever the fuck you know we'll put you on a C and a C to retirement tour and send you to NXT to train guys that I can smash. And then Roman tried to walk off from him but punk caught him. He's like we you got Samoan goblins in your pocket. You got no shield you got no bloodline you're chasing me. This is my show I run things here. You can't get things done by yourself. And hater love me you won't disrespect me retire me. You went from getting beat to getting buried. And then you he says somehow worked it in you when I bury you. You won't get me alone anymore I'm going to bury you next to your father. And he dropped the mic on him and walked off and left Roman standing there just because it was so quick is like what the fuck these 80s gone. But the way they worked it was perfect that Roman didn't have the chance to grab him and then was trying to fight whether he's going to lose it or not. So anyway this is it's a personal issue imagine that. Yeah they have a dynamic with each other it's good. I personally think it's ridiculous there weren't agents in between them. Because also beyond the logic of these guys not just punching each other in the face. Because our agents there it makes it look bigger and better and more heated. As opposed to get right in each other's face and say the worst thing they could think of and then take a step back and then the other guy I don't like that and I don't think it's necessary and I agree with you there. And again the problem is is that we've just been. Conditioned that this the way it's going to happen but yes you can imagine if that had been Austin and Brett or somebody arguing with each other who would have slaughter and those guys would have been in there trying to just be background fodder trying to calm it down without getting in the way of what anybody was saying or doing but acting like they were trying to. But we've lost that you know element of wrestling along with everything else. We see them run out for other things just get every agent slash producer whatever they are who used to be a wrestler out there to stand in between them and act as agents of the company. It makes it better as opposed to you know is it a debate battle what exactly is it. No one touches anybody. With that said see and punk was really good here Roman Reigns at first I thought he was getting too into the actory Roman Reigns fake bullshit way of talking but he kind of got out of that and. It's a great dynamic and you want to see a promo battle. Either in different segments on the same show or one on one but. I'd be OK with having them battle like this until WrestleMania but you need people in between them it can't just be face to face confrontation without any fisticuffs without anything just I will let you know they're they're done with the face to face without any. Repercussion after punk city is going to bury Roman next to Seca then now shits on as Gary Hart would have said shits on brother so they won't be doing that again or they better not. But yeah I mean. That's what you pointed out is what we've lost about. Wrestling even from the company that used to do the same exact thing we just talked about they don't do anymore. Send guys out there to be remember the confrontation between Tyson and Austin. Right it was like you were seeing one of these things at a UFC event get out of hand. And they have lost that but if they could. When they have guys that can deliver like this verbally if they would. Provide the proper fill an atmosphere it would be wonder. The proper Phil as opposed to see him punk. Well you know what the proper feel like like a Keith Richards Phil is what I'm trying to say I got you the Phil or like a Charlie Watts Phil. Yeah that was wrong. Well Brian let's cross the street now and see what they had to say for themselves over at AEW this past week which was the dynamite for March the 4th Wednesday night they were at El Paso. As I walk down the streets of El Paso I saw several thousand weirdly dressed wrestling fans they had a decent house it looked like. Or do they figured out a way to CGI these fans. I thought it looked decent and again a hot crowd for AEW a crowd that's really as I said last time they're doing a better job now and making their fans happy than they have in a very long time. They must have had a Guerrero on the card. You can't run El Paso without a member of the Guerrero family it's it's sacrilegious. But anyway they opened up with the world title match with Kevin Knight and MJF and. I know they had explained in the challenge and a blah blah blah but to play. I would have had the match but I don't know why they made it for the title right in front of the pay per view even where the announcers while they're showing that the graphic for the pay per view is a world title MJF and page that says if if MJF retains here which everybody knew he was going to but the idea was to me. When I heard the match was announced was to give MJF a good solid win over a credible opponent. Going into defending the world title on the pay per view right this is not. Revolutionary wrestling logic right and. If I had been. Agenting or producing or booking or whatever term the match I would have said. MJF. Ten minutes bell to bell have a competitive match but don't go crazy you're the champion going into the pay per view. Make him look good and then don't cheat to beat him. But she'd write before you beat him maybe as he's got his momentum on the comeback stick a thumb and the eye on a fucking over the referee shoulder and then hit your finish and you had to. Cheat a little bit but you still you come out strong. To defend the title on the pay per view. And Kevin Knight still had an excellent match with you he's a fine upper middle card young baby face on the on the upswing. And instead. And I know this was in Jeff's match to lay out you can tell that. But it wasn't. What I'm trying to write the house 17 minutes before all the fall draw all afterwards. You can't just have a goddamn match like I just described over 17 minutes. He had to do it he still. This was probably Kevin Knight's best match in a W. And I like him and I like the look of him that's why I actually sat down and watch this and wrote down things to say about it. Kevin Knight looks good. He's in shape he's got appeal he's got charisma like his outfit. I don't think he's going to grow as a single because he's saddled with a. You know a 10 year old girl from a Canadian girl school as a tag team partner. And all the goofiness that he's in the middle of this group that has belts and there's more belts and a blah blah blah. But nevertheless you can do something with this guy and he can obviously. So follow direction they actually opened up with wrestling. And guess what the heel got out wrestled by the baby face. They traded arm drags and Kevin Knight gave him three arm drags. And multiple shoulder tackles the baby face was out wrestling the heel. There was one time where. M. Jeff was selling. And Kevin Knight was going to go to the top and miss the splash for M. Jeff to take over. But Kevin Knight took too much time going to the top and I know somebody's going to say well that's because he's going to miss it. Exactly. And it makes it look like the baby face is fault he took too much time he wouldn't fucking thinking. It would have been better if he'd have gone right up there and fucking M. Jeff got out in the nick of time. Then he made every effort to do it right the baby face but the heel just barely escaped. You can tell guys what to do but not exactly what their timing is or how to do it on the fly. Again every time that M. Jeff would heal him and stop him. He gets some heat he'd give Kevin Knight a hope spot. But M. Jeff would also take his time and heal the fans too. And now. There was one point I just criticized Kevin Knight. I'll criticize M. Jeff. Kevin Knight came out with a big clothesline and M. Jeff will got leveled and sold it like he was dead. And Kevin Knight was kind of starting to get up but he wasn't making a lot of progress. But here's the thing they both got up at the same time. If the heel is not moving. He should be selling he should be disoriented but moving even crawling away trying to reach for the rope to get up because if the heel is down selling motionless while the baby face is starting to get up. There's not as much tension. If the heels dead the fans feel like the baby face has more time. There's less urgency. So boom when he leveled him like that and now the baby face has an opening. The heel can create space get to the other side of the ring but get up on his feet and fucking dust himself off and goddamn gather himself and start stalking back before you know that the baby face is going to actually make it back up to his feet. Does that make any sense Brian. It makes a lot of sense. Well good. I needed a simple water. So anyway then Kevin Knight got a couple of his big dives in but M. J. F. was trying to roll out of the way and stop him and at about 10 minutes in I wrote OK. Should be about time to go. Let's go. We've had enough. Well then M. J. F. Stopped him gave him a big move to count both of them sold forever. I'm like beating M. J. F. Kevin Knight got a number of false finishes and two counts and another dive and they were both down on the floor and they went to the break. I'm like what the fuck. OK it's still not a rotten match but you know they need to go. And when they came back they were fighting on the floor and Kevin Knight was in charge. He went up to the top and M. J. F. Crotch team and went for a superplex and Kevin Knight hung M. J. F. in the tree a whoa and did the Coast Coast drop kick. And then Kevin Knight goes to the top again and here's where they shit to bed. M. J. F. is on his back and Kevin Knight's going to the top rope so the referee is standing there. And M. J. F. reached out with one foot and like kicked the referee in the thigh and the referee spun around in an exaggerated way and flew into the ropes turning his back on everything and selling his shoulder. I'm like what the face like he was goddamn hit with a invisible fucking car. And then Kevin Knight hit the splash and while the referee was over overselling he came in and if the guy is supposed to be hurt and counting slow he did the most exaggerated energetic Tommy young bounce count one and then fucking sold like he was dead and then bounced off the mat again to with all this Vim and Vigor in the world and sold like he was dead and M. J. F. kicked out. So he had gotten a visual pin on the world champion because of a obviously phony looking referee bump and then the way that the referee counted that I've never seen. Do you see what I was saying that he was coming back to life with an over exaggerated animated count and then selling in between and then he would die again. Yeah, he died in between. He obviously took some hell of a beating that we can't see or some hell of a drug that I'd like to have some of and then Kevin Knight went to the top again and went for the splash but M. J. F. raised his knees and hit the heat seeker one two three. That was actually a nice finish if they eliminated the referee horseshit if a few minutes before that or a short time before that when Kevin Knight had gone to the top instead of M. J. F. kicking the leg of the referee raised the legs boom heat seeker boom. The guy just done the coast to coast drop kick that was the best looking thing he's going to do all night. The referee thing just brought it down. But they started to get into which one are we pushing territory but they didn't it was still a very good match until the fake looking horrible acting by the referee. You know kill that but it was a bit much for Kevin Knight because he had the the world champion pinned. 10 days before the world title match on a pay-per-view with somebody else this would be. This finish is the match you have if the rematch between these two is on the pay-per-view. And you bring it back with two referees or special referee or the referee was the problem the first time. As to why the baby face didn't win so we will rectify that in this rematch. But that's not the kind of match you're supposed to have when you're prepping your world champion to wrestle somebody else. Whoever figured this finish for these two at this particular moment is a crazy person. But before we talk about how much worse it's about to get Brian what do you think of the match. I was going to say you're doing all this complaining about you know what the next thing is it's going to be him and speed ball it seems. I mean that is pretty apparent. Well no I mean just the next thing they did I don't know if that's the next match you have. I think they're going to have MGM speedball that's what I'm saying. Well I mean and even if they do that will be a fluvia for another day but what they continue to do here with what they basically did was as soon as MGM wins he shit cans the referee but Adam Page appears in the entrance way. So while MGM is standing stared at Page spitball comes in hits MGM with one of those fucking goofy kicks and he bumped to the floor and sold like oh my God I'm done. So now the champion is bumping for the fifth grader that used to get picked on in gym class. And not only did it take him 17 minutes to beat the other guy but then this fucking Wimp comes in and just knocks him out. But before anybody thinks that I'm upset about how they're treating MGM when we get to it I'm going to think they're just as crazy for the way what they've done to Adam Page of this show and when he's going to be the challenger for the world title. And again he came out here with his six man tag title on for his confrontation from the runway with MGM. Good match. Probably went too long. I agree with you. I don't know why Kevin Knight would have gone to the top rope the second time after the first one you kind of knew MGM will get his legs up and he did and not looking forward to him against Speedball which will be probably the most enjoyable Speedball match we see but it's MGM. It's possible. It's MGM making this little guy look like a champion. I think they just did this because somebody said well shoot. Oh Mike. Oh Mike Bailey is going to get his feelings hurt if he doesn't get out there and do something. I can't imagine MGM would write and produce his own movie just to take time off to get away from working with this little fucking douche. But nevertheless. I want to know how good he really is as a karate practitioner. I put him in there with MVP who we know is a black belt and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Now there's no reason to get racial about it. I'm not getting racial. That is his rank. I believe from the last I heard. I'd like to see what happens there. You put him in that make it like UFC like Mike Bailey versus every tough guy you could think of and let's see what happens. What if whatever we need Ron slinker remember the demolition expert Ron slinker. Well he was the first one I ever saw do a live in person karate demonstration. He had the cheapest look like I don't care how good a karate was he did not look like a wrestler. There was no way he wasn't that good a karate either. I got news. Maybe the last living person that watched Ron slinker do a karate demonstration. Well you know Brian the thing is they got to quit these bad habits they got over there. They got bad habits with the way that they booked their finishes the way they treat their champion the way they constructify their big main event matches for paper they bad habits all the way around bad habits in the ring bad habits out of the ring. We've got to do something this year about breaking these bad habits Brian. People have bad habits in wrestling and in business and they got personal bad habits. You know what are the bad I got something right here. Listen here this is this is some heavy some heavy I'm fixed to lay on you folks. Our friends over at fume fume they are at fume fume you got to put the dressy it's it's pronounced it's spelled thumb fume but you got to put the umla the little driver there over the you and it becomes fume fume fume and what they're doing is they're trying to help people break the bad habits you you you want to quit smoking you want to quit vaping if you want to do these things part of it is the is the hand to mouth motion the oral fixation and and you got it you got to break this so what fume has come up with fume is a fume is a flavored air fidget device that gives your hand and your mouth something to do you can hold one end of this in your hand and you can stick the other end in your mouth and there you go but you know what you're doing Brian you are not in justifying into your body bad chemicals like nicotine and propylene and salmonella and all the things that are in smoking and vaping materials that they've you've seen you've seen the studies where they have all the lists of all these chemicals that you can't even pronounce I don't know salmonella is one of them it's a serious thing to worry about but not in this case well it can kill you but I'll tell you what what you're doing if you're in jest why are you laughing about Canada's nothing to do with any of this though is but it can't kill you well you want to keep it away that's what I'm trying to tell people how to do is keep yourself away from the the various forms of things that can kill you like the nicotine and the propylene and the propa fall and the salmonella and all these other things if you're vaping and you're smoking and you're you're burning things and and Huffin them whatever you're doing and here's another thing I've seen on the news don't just sniff glue and some of the children spray some type of air fresheners in their fucking faces and not to mention licking the backs of frogs none of these things don't do any of these things ladies don't do any of these things ladies and gentlemen. No that's not a good thing to do what you do as you go to fume. And you get and you get their flavored air fidget device which comes with a base that's with a heavy part it's magnetic boom it's right there a base base a little and also this thing is God it's got some weight to it it's well put together and it charges your gimmick as well as being magnetic so it sits there and it spins around without falling off so you can play with that too and play with yourself in your office there with that instead of smoking and vaping and things but the point is what what it what goes into this device is the flavored air cartridges it don't have no they don't have salmonella and nicotine flavored air. No they have sparkling grapefruit crisp mint spear mint raspberry peach blush mango don't know if I'm sold on the maple pepper yet but we'll get back to that but the point is you stick those in this

have of not watching any pockets matches I put a double negative in there but the next match was pockets and Darby Allen against Gabe kid and Chuck Connors and I obviously skip this except for the end apparently there was a debut here we'll get to that in a second but remember when we thought Darby Allen they might make him the next world champion as he's over as a baby face and they like his weirdness and public stupidity I don't know what you know at this point what they like maybe maybe that's because this was a while back when he was that over and now he's teaming up with the mascot but now he's partners with the mascot and he's fighting to indie guys that we still don't really know what the fuck their purpose is and they started with a four way on the floor and a broken table and and then the referee rang the bell so that I skip the match but the baby face is one and then the brand this is what I was surprised about a guy jumps in the ring and starts beating up the baby faces with his cane and I wouldn't have known who it was but the announcers told me thankfully David Finley fit Finley son and he comes in and beats up the baby faces with his cane and he so they debuted not only did they debut fit Finley son it was another faction with some random middle card heels but he's not in the WWE and one would think if he certainly they looked at him why would they turn down the son of fit Finley if he was if he had anything well he's been in New Japan and in New Japan he was aligned with Gabe kid and Clark Connors I believe and all three of them have now signed with AEW well but I'll ask the question I asked that you answered a different one here in a second but I'll ask this question now I don't know why they have not signed him or I assume they looked at him say look at everyone but I don't know but also again who gives a shit what they did in Japan when somebody came into the fucking Carolinas did Dusty say oh because you guys were tag team partners in Dallas what you've got to be together even though I'd rather do something else with you well I don't understand why they think that of all but the smallest audience knows what they've done and New Japan was on television on access or whatever a few years back did they ever crack a hundred thousand views or the ratings that were reported it wasn't there's more people watching AEW by far by multiple times then watch New Japan on TV or are watching New Japan right now from the United States so why doesn't Tony just if he sees a talent that he likes bring it in and do his own shit does that make sense because Tony is a fan for what he has seen of them in Japan and he wants to keep that together he doesn't look at it the way you do or I would or he should where he does that mean that every every director every director that makes a movie because well I love the movie that these particular actors did so I'm going to hire the entire crew to make my movie too or do you find that story of a movie that's the entire story of a W Tony saw all these guys movies and said I want to be the producer of this movie but it's then you've got a fucking dramatic action comedy musical movie so anyway and again this may be Tony's La La Land I don't know what to tell you if if young Mr. Finley had the qualifications one would have thought that he would be in that program or was he in the program and they didn't keep him in a program who's with the program here I don't know I don't know again his father had a history of working internationally Germany Japan before he ever got to the States I don't know if he's trying to follow his father's footsteps and take a look at what he's certainly working in another fucking country right now if he's an AEW he's working in the the fucking land of La La I haven't seen too much of him and he was in a suit which was nice to see someone in his suit but he had a good look you know I hate that he's going to be involved with pockets or whatever they're doing here but you know I was intrigued enough by him much more than Clark Connors and Gabe Kidd who was did you see him come out there like crawling he was like crawling out of the entrance way like I don't know a demon trying to crawl out of hell I don't know what he was going for there no actually actually they look silly they sent pockets out first and by the so by then I wouldn't pay any attention or next time Gabe kid as a match watch his entrance see if he crawls out again but I'm sorry I was ladies and gentlemen his opponent crawling down the aisle all righty moving along Jamie Hader and Alex Mountbatten Windsor fought the inspiration who are two twin blonde girls with accents trying to act funny and they did lots of dancing and I haven't heard such fucking silence since Bruno got beaten the garden in 71 people just sitting on their hands so that was that you know there used to be they were like a tag team in WWE I think we saw some of their stuff years ago they were a tag team there and then they got released I believe and then they were in TNA who used them as a top women's tag team for whatever that's worth based on their WWE TV time and Tony brought them in and squashed them Tony brought them in and just squash them right away. Well but at the same point did anybody know who the fuck they were because the response was absolutely non-existent it wouldn't like oh look here's these stars that we've seen and then they beat them it was like ready ready I don't know you know again a W it could be that or it could be a W fans rejecting them I don't know how much of its their knowledge of them it's a double-edged sword if they know of them from their previous work they may hate them so I don't know you know what somebody they ought to come up with sometime again because I guess these girls they look like twins out of they got to be sisters I don't know what the fuck they're not related at all I don't believe well they look I did maybe that's the problem you can't tell one from another but if they got the Bella should have done this they should try sometime some set of twin girls should try to get fucking signed by two different companies and if they worked it right then they could fucking actually goddamn get paid four times think about this because they could just keep showing up in different places to fucking work it just don't tell anybody there's two of them. This isn't here. It's a fascinating idea you have here. Yeah and they could just go around collected call will sign this with all I got that one over there and then they just keep showing up different places you're not sure which ones which I don't there's something there doesn't help or hurt matters if it's triplets Oh that well then you're cleaning up. Are you are you have too much inventory. No because you got it's like when Nick Goulas had a mass team over the interns or the mighty Yankees or whatever he would send the real ones to the town with the best advance needs send job guys with fucking hoods to the other town or two. Anyway, hey before we move on just real quick because for whatever reason this has popped up and a bunch of people keep asking us I'm going to ask you so they'll stop. What is the Kentucky meat shower. And there Oh God damn it. I'm trying to remember the detail. Google it and I will introduce it. There was a period of time. Years ago in a certain location in Kentucky. Where inexplicably for some short period of time. Meat like just beh draw meat fell from the sky over over a certain area. I'm not I'm not making that up the Kentucky meat shower according to Wikipedia was an incident that occurred for a period of several minutes between 11 a.m. and 12 noon on March 3rd 1876 where what appeared to be chunks of red meat fell from the sky in a 100 by 50 yard area near Olympia Springs and Bath County Kentucky. There exist several explanations from blood rain to to vulture ejecta as to how this occurred and what the meat was. Although the exact type of meat was never identified various reports suggested it was beef lamb deer bear or horse and that pretty much covers it. Yeah, we'll see you were looking at you were looking for your red meats because they could tell that was seeing 1876 there was no DNA. And so they were looking for the red meats because you know they could at least tell that by sight except for. Poor old Ulysses Jones it was colorblind who was the first one to spot it but he just thought it was just chunks of shit. But anyway it would be hard one would assume for even a number of vultures to have gotten onto a carcass and took enough of it in the fucking air that it would rain meat noticeably over that large of a space on the ground. It's where people would pick up on it to the naked eye and see the goddamn. You know the obvious remains laying around that have to be a lot of a lot of vultures that nobody saw. And you know that's the thing is they they don't go high enough that you would you know they're not like they were just regular fucking propeller vultures back then they didn't have jet vultures. So this this is these chunks of meat just and they didn't have the DNA as I mentioned so they couldn't narrow it down but nobody nobody blew up in a fucking airplane in 1876. So it's somewhat confounded people when the meat fell from the fucking sky. All right well we will stay on top of the story for every concerned person who sent in an email about it but back to that. Well there is about every 150 years or so there is a goddamn you know resurgence of interest. Anyway what they did next on a W is Adam Page beat some unknown guy in 10 seconds with his finish. And I was at this point I was like my God. Imagine that they've actually done the right thing with the challenger to the world title at the pay-per-view in the main event he's come out and beaten a fucking guy with his finish in 10 seconds and stands tall over him as tall as Paige can muster. And as that's what what a MGM needs is not a squash in 10 seconds but he needs a squash in four or five minutes. He needs an old fashioned Jerry Lawler squash or fucking a top a cocky top heels a race even squash where he spent more time working to people and being more entertaining getting himself over. And then he beat up the fucking guy and that's what MGM needs more of on TV instead of you know 17 minute title matches with middle card guys and blah blah blah. But there's more show to go Brian before I said at least they did the right thing with Paige but they couldn't leave that alone. He gets on the microphone and does another promo and that never really helps his cause. It is a phony boring whatever MJF comes out again and he's cutting a promo and as he's talking to fucking Paige. Oh Kada and Davis and Kyle. Jump page in the ring and start beating him up. But then there's three heels beating him up but when Kevin Knight and Hong Kong Fooie come out. They the three heels run from the two little baby faces. Yes they've got chairs but Jesus Christ but this all happening within seconds. And then Don Don Fallis and Lance Archer comes out and MGM is completely gone. And we're in a different angle with the same fucking challenger to the world title. So so then Don is cutting a promo to the three baby faces Paige and fucking dipshits. I shouldn't slander Kevin Knight. And he's challenging for two more titles that he wants their six man titles that they've got that but no wait a minute. What he's saying is that those three guys want the six man tag titles that Paige and Fooie and Knight have but Kevin Knight and Hong Kong Fooie shouldn't be challenging for the two more titles that is in his group because Kyle is the one kind of champion and fucking. Oh Kada is the other kind of champion Davis is a fucking competitive eating champion. And Paige wants the world to what the fuck is going on here. They want a six man tag title match and they'll get one later today because when you know what they need a main event this far into the show they still have time and only had time and that's what that was setting up there and MGM disappeared like you said. It was completely on and we're now we have the world the guy that's challenging for the world heavyweight title that already has the six man tag title like yeah yeah. Jack me Jack me blow you. And then they're going to be challenged by these three guys two of whom are already singles champions. So why the fuck would they want the six man tag title. What. But that's tonight. Ah. Well you know what I'm sure it was loaded with comedy material but Moxley went almost 20 minutes with Chichichia and I just I know. So then we got to Brody King. And Brody King. Was in the ring telling swerve that he's the most dangerous man in a W. And he got in there actually got on a microphone sounded like he minutes that I'm the most dangerous man come on out here if you want to fight and prove it. Brody King is stepping up a bit I have to give the fat tattooed man his credit where it's due. He sounded better. And then. Nana comes out are you sure about this. Brody King yes I want him OK. Here's the real most dangerous man swerve Strickland. And they played the music and Nana's waving come on come on. And I guess they had to do that until swerve actually did legitimately get to the fucking ring but it went so long that you could tell that he was not coming out from that direction right you knew and then I mean if you're watching from home you knew also because of the way they shot Brody King to get the surprise shot a swerve but it went on for so long that you knew someone was not coming from that way. If I've watched wrestling at all I know turn around there may be someone the other way as Dutch Mantell would say it's the old misdirection play. So swerve comes in the ring from behind and. Blast in some fashion because they had the close up on Brody like you said so you couldn't see them coming in and blow the surprise away but boom he suddenly gets hit near swerve and swerve has got this giant. 10 foot fucking big old. Toe chain or logging chain or whatever all wrapped up and he's acting and I use that term loosely is acting like he's just bashing it. In the Brody Kings back but it's he's obviously pulling it to the point where why are you even doing that it was really bad. Because because now you've just you've shit your own bed why did just blast him and stomp on him and but. Well but then did you see the neck wrapping. Because the idea was that he then takes the chain or wraps it around Brody Kings neck. And then somehow there on the other end of it there were handcuffs and he cuffed it to the top rope but then. Instead of hanging Brody over the top rope he got out and and drug Brody there were. This was the most awkward hanging I've ever seen in wrestling. And the way that he ended up swerve was on the outside with the chain over the top rope it was around. Brody Kings neck barely. You could see when he put it around and Brody just crawled over there and Brody. The only way that Brody is being choked. Is because he's hanging down from the rope if he had just raised his head. It would have relieved the pressure on his neck and prevented him from choking out. Does that the way you saw it. I mean what you're saying makes sense sure. But that's the way he had him so I don't. Did they walk through that. I had a time to decide this is the best way that we can illustrate that I'm choking this guy out than this awkward Rube Goldberg fucking. Whole contraption here. And then so Brody is hanging himself there's no tension on any of the chain except the tension around his neck from to the top that he himself is putting on it. And swerve cuts promo to Brody's face as I'm the most dangerous man to fuck you all he had to do was stand up. What is he like six eight. Yes. He's literally leaning forward stretching the fucking rope from from the top rope to where it's around his neck as much as possible if he just raised up it would. Release pressure. People like the concept of them and some of the big matches for people who are sickos and into that kind of stuff but the creative is always weak. Whose house. What did you expect me to say that. No I just that's how he ends his sentences. I'm going to do it when I review his crappy segments. Who's. Whose house dead silence. All righty then I'm sure that that Glah and thunder Rosa for the women's title was just swell. Then. Tomaso Champa came out OK I'm interested in Champa. And he's doing a promo with Renee Mock slug good. Talking about Kyle and the TNT title is a good promo he looks and speaks like a grown up. And then the FTR music hits and I'm like what what the fuck. And out comes FTR was Stokely in the chair. And Dax who's taken to wearing glasses on camera. Which makes him look like a slightly pudgy but studious fucking middle-aged soccer dad. What the fuck is that choice about. He said he Dax comes up and hugs Champa. And I'm here to welcome an old friend. And he started kind of making an offer to join them like he got to come with the top guys. Is like an olive branch and olive branch what from what they've never interacted I'm thinking what is going on here. NXT. Exactly again. Exactly again. You can acknowledge history amongst people. When it was memorable history. But this is from NXT from 10 years ago is what they said. It must be. Yeah. Must be. Okay again. Tomaso said I hated you 10 years ago and I hate you today. And he insulted Stokely and Dax got mad and a little shove shove and then. Tomaso slapped Dax and Dax okay I'm not mad. See you Saturday on collision. What the. He can't do his own shit. Or. You can't even once you bring these guys into the same company. You can't. Do some history packages on one or the other that incidentally mentions. They're past and or talk about it for a few weeks before they just. Run up on each other and well fuck you from 10 years ago. That. Many of these people did not see. Was NXT on television 10 years ago. It may have been on WWE Network and then you know they had their big events which were still streaming but you know they were big events it made NXT popular with the crowd that became the AEW crowd. That was a long long way around your elbow to get to your wrist to say they weren't even on TV 10 years. I don't think they were I mean I'm not saying it definitively but I don't think they were the team DIY versus FTR was before FTR got to the main roster I think so I don't think so. All right anyway. We're time for the main event Brian I know you've been waiting with baited breath. So this is and it's all in the overrun so anybody that. Again records the show they're just you know fuck it unless they've done their due diligence. Six man title Davis Kyle and boring against Paige and Kevin Knight and food. And they started this with a sloppy six way on the floor. And I thought well it actually wrote this down I said the only way. That you could have worse booking on a single television program is if the baby faces lose the belts here. And in the end. M.J.F. pulled Paige out to the floor and nailed him. And then the fucking heels double team Kevin Knight right in front of that useless Rick Knox motherfucker. And beat him one two three and became the new champions. So. You know that they say that Tony Khan and he's exhibited it. He doesn't think it hurts to lose so oftentimes if he brings you in and beats you that's a sign that he likes you and he's going to use you well. What does it say if he beats you twice on the same episode. At the beginning and the end of the same episode. I think it's a good idea to say that. And I mean let's let's go down the line here. So. M.J.F. the world champion. Takes almost 20 minutes. To beat a potential filled but right now mid card baby face guy Kevin Knight. And actually has to. Be a real on you know a number of times. And then. Page comes out and gets a 10 second squash match but then is drug into a goddamn undercard six man title match. Where he's on the losing team right before he challenges for the. Fucking world title at the pay-per-view. And then. The game is going to be a little bit more of a game. Fucking world title at the pay-per-view. And. The guy that gets beat in that match. Is the one that almost beat the guy that he's wrestling. In the pay-per-view. Who's the only one that has any goddamn potential on that whole team. We've seen the best of page and it ain't been good and it ain't ever going to get any better. And spitball is offensive to any goddamn legitimate wrestling fan just because of the phoniness and the stupidity of him. Kevin Knight's got something. So he's the one that everybody's beating they're beating him like a rented mule. Meanwhile. Now you've got. Two of these fucking guys already have belts the heels. Kyle and. Oh boring and now they've got. More belts. What the. Well that's what I thought. Well big title change there to end dynamite. New trios tag team champions Okada Fletcher and Davis. And everyone has belts. Defeats the purpose because it makes the other belts not seem as important when everyone just has some other belt but. I guess at least they got one of the belts off page before he's going for the other belt so now the other belt could be the priority not the previous belt. And that was dynamite. But you know that's the thing is they just you know they're they're hitting people below the belt. Well before we talk about the big paper view coming up where the world champion that can hardly beat anybody faces the fucking challenger that really can't beat anybody either.

I lose my voice a little bit more each time I do that but you know you're you're all the people now are saying don't tease us with a good time Brian. Hey that's nice. That's not nice. So what are the big matches for this big revolutionary pay-per-view revolution that a W is going to have imminently like in what in well just a few days by the time the folks hear this. Well Jim I have it here on Wikipedia. A W revolution March 15th 2026 Los Angeles California at the world famous crypto dot com arena. Here's the car. What did that used to be to make it world famous. What was the crypto dot com or is that Los Angeles was at the well the forum was in Englewood is that the it was a full center. It was previously the staple center. OK. Let's X out of this. We'll go back to where we were Jim a W revolution here is what is announced so far to be announced for the pre show a big boom AJ match but we're not very well. What's that. Wait a minute now. Hold on let me let me stop you here just a second. Now what was this been a year or so ago now that big boom and the other little boomer and boomer a Cieson and the bang bang fucking kid and all the people that eat donuts. I don't know what their deal is at Costco. But they were social media sensations and they got to guest star and do a dark match and then whatever the fuck on the pre show. Are they still like mega social media stars getting them all this publicity or is this now just a goddamn favor because they like the guy. I don't know. Do you see this guy anywhere else. I personally don't. I haven't heard anything else about him. I don't know what he's doing but it's not really my kind of scene. I will say his pre show matches at least get the fans there into it sometimes more than other things. So well that's why I'm wondering is what else does this fucking guy do except boom. And is he ongoing Lee doing boomer is he just still over because he used to do boom. Well somebody give us a goddamn send us a letter in on this. All right. Go ahead here. Yeah. Jimmy Trio's match for the AEW World Trio's championship. The champions the callous family of Kazushka Okada Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis versus Mystico and jet speed. The jet Kevin Knight and speedball Mike Bailey. So. It's Los Angeles. I'm sure that there will be a an audience that is there for for Mystico. Why stick him in this fucking mess. Why not give Mystico fucking either his own opponent that he wants to bring or a suitable guy on the roster and give him 10 or 12 minutes to go out there and show everybody these there in person and it's Mystico. The two smallest guys on the show probably are Mystico and speedball Bailey and they're against the three tallest guys in the company. Oh Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis. And again that's it. Obviously I wish nothing for Okada except a quick trip back home and retirement because he's the shits and he doesn't care and he didn't try and it's the most ridiculous thing that he's making any kind of money. Everybody else on the roster out of mutiny and Davis is good. We were hoping for him and his partner. But if Kyle if they're wanting to and Kyle's already got a singles championship. Why is he in this six man bullshit. If you want to make him a top guy and again is everyone blind deaf and dumb that wants to employ Mike Bailey. I think so. So this is just is that the pre-show. I don't know if that's a pre-show. It's one of the matches for the main show I believe but Christ will find out Jim for the A.W. women's world championship. Two out of three falls. Tecla. No Tecla the champion versus versus Chris Stathlander. Oh Christ on a cracker. Can can they just agree to split the first two falls in the locker room and just give us the third one in front of the people. Come on you're not intrigued you don't want to see two out of three falls Stathlander versus Tecla. What could that be. Yeah what can it be. What can it be now. What can it be on my TV screen. I don't understand they're being so mean. Do you think Stathlander will regain the championship. I would hope so. But I don't know. Jim Brody King versus Swerve Strickland. Well they've obviously. They've got a good baby face in Brody King. And Swerve has just turned heel. I would think it would see because these things don't fall. The normal patterns of things to where these people should be individually now. I wouldn't. Want to beat Brody King right now because he's still on the way up except you then Swerve looks like a complete fucking idiot. If he just turns heel and loses his first time so Swerve has to win. But normally I'd say I hope they protect Brody but then that may mean that they bring a bazooka out. And fucking shoot Swerve in the head. So who knows. What if Omega costs Swerve the match. No. Because still he can't just turn heel and do this heinous thing to this fucking guy and then just lose the first one at this point because where they all are now. Well Jim another match. Anyway. Andrade L. Edelow versus Bandido. My prediction. I'm being serious. It'll probably be the best match on the show. You see with with Bandido and and under the under the Ariba. What did they call him the other day when they messed up his fucking name. Andrade. Andrade L. Andrade L. Yeah and Andrade L. Well I mean that goes back to mold come into flair that time on the clash with him and Luger that the rest of it stunk. I say you you stole the show but it was petty theft. Is this really going to be an accomplishment but it. I just I'm annoyed by Bandido's lack of basics rotten timing and goofy fucking suplex and other goofy moves that people have to just ridiculously cooperate for. Well maybe Andrade will just beat him up. All right Jim well the next match is a no time limit match for the Continental Championship. Jesus Christ don't give these people any more encouragement give them a time limit for fuck's sake. The champion John Moxley versus Kenosuke Takeshita. Oh boy. Well does he have to go over this Takeshita have to go over here. Well but here's the thing it's going to put Moxley and his you know wet dream land already because he's going to be against a Japanese guy and he can make it strong style and be Japanese and do all the stuff that nobody sells and kick people in the fucking throat and all that shit. Moxley is way too garbage of a worker for to showcase Takeshita's strengths as an agile athletic fairly well versed technical in ring performer that has you know youth and oomph to him instead of this whatever the fuck this thing Moxley has to him. So I mean Moxley's matches are normally bad but at least with guys who who English is a first language and they learned to work in America and potentially know that Moxley is the shits and they're going to try to compensate for it. They can come out better than I believe our boy take is going to do everything that Moxley wants him to so this is going to be a shitty match and I would love to see Moxley put him over but who knows is he is he back to the Moxley that never loses or is he the Moxley from a few months ago just everybody and her brother was beating him who knows with his fucking clown. We shall see will it be Rocky to Rocky for Jim for the tag team championship the champions FTR cash and Dax with Stokely versus the young bucks Matt and Nick and they're receiving hair lines and boy have you I didn't even mention a pre tape that was on the show that they were sitting in a boardroom and the Jackson boys they're trying to act mad and like oh to come over this desk right now and do what and do what that was what I said when I watch that yeah and do what I frightened more people in a fucking room for real what I told Kevin done the same thing and I was already standing up and they're fucking actually like this goddamn I mean who knows again it's whatever that the little buckaroos think will that will give them the most favored outlook from the fans do they want to be selfless and put these guys over or do they want to be ego maniacs and protect their legacy is 18 time Dave Meltzer fantasy of the year whatever but does anybody give a shit at this point at least at one time it was a bit of a big deal who would a match between these two teams and who would win and now they're just doing it because nobody gives a shit what the buckaroos are doing they're playing with their friends so now they can have a feature match and who knows if they want the tag team titles because then that would put they do more well wouldn't that put more attention on them that nobody gives a shit about them if they were also the tag team champions and no I think they will still continue to not give a shit about them I think they have a reality distortion field where they pretend like what's happening isn't happening I mean again next to Kenny Omega they've won Dave Meltzer fantasy of the year as you put it more times than anyone so there's a segment of the crowd that they want to listen to that doesn't think their shit stinks and then everyone else has seen this over and over and over again and everything they do outside of the ring won't even get into their matches and the layouts and everything that has to happen because they can't just wrestle a tag team match has to be their referee who knows stand over there and do nothing because we're gonna we're gonna ignore every rule of tag team wrestling because we have to otherwise we can't do all the things that pop us but I just don't think it's really it doesn't seem to work the but the outside of the ring stuff the skits anything they do in the back anything they do talking anytime Matt Jackson is on a mic it comes across as cringy and bad and the problem is they they're surrounded by people who actually back up their bad instincts me so brandy Cutler in that scene reasoning is a job as these guys but it's always been just like really lame shit like even when all the indie fans ten years ago we're going crazy over the bucks and their social media content it was never good it was always just lame and now it's even I try to timer to to watch why are people watching this YouTube thing channel show being the elite or whatever and it just it was awful it was a series of them having random conversations and doing stage skits with their friends who weren't natural entertainers either so that's what I think about that but who do you think but I think the bucks will win the belts that would be my prediction good Lord and Jim finally the main event a last chance Texas death match for the AW World Championship if Paige loses he will never be able to challenge for the World Championship again the champion MJF versus hangman Adam Page and you know again because they they would legitimately expect Paige to stick to this stipulation for the rest of his life not only the the fans of this company but the people in the company it wouldn't be anything like well we got where we can keep him away from it for a couple years because he's had it enough already and then somebody will do something so heinous that people will demand it and what a blah blah blah they probably intend to stick to this because they're fucking marks but at the same time what the fuck would they be thinking to put the belt back on page Mr. Charisma Mr. warmth again when MJF just got it new years has defended it like once or twice just barely and you would damage again a guy that at least moves numbers and or you know whatever the fuck even more than he already has been damaged so it does make it hard to call but hopefully sanity will prevail and they have realized that over the next couple of years they don't need Paige to be the champion again anyway and he'll get fucked by whoever wants to be the world's most dangerous man or the most dangerous or Dick the bruiser will come back and or the mode whoever you know what I'm saying I mean since since none of this has to make any sense because it usually doesn't you can't do what's logical or surmise what's logical or sensible for business because that doesn't have any bearing on AEW finishes and would be a great he'll move down the road of somehow he does get a title shot and he turns he can say he's drinking again or something and there he is he got a title either that or all the fans have started drinking because he was the champion well there it is a W revolution from Los Angeles California coming up this this next weekend actually as we are recording back to you Jim that's right Brian we're going to what we're going to do right now is before we end the show we're going to take a short break and travel through time because we have smelled something might be going on tonight on SmackDown it's Cody versus Drew for one of their world titles and that's going to decide who goes into the main event at WrestleMania so we're going to take a brief time travel and come back and let everybody know which one it's going to be oh it would we're in the future I told you to change the oil in that son of a bitch I've lost one of my legs it didn't materialize again son of a bitch and I've got to scratch my toe oh it's coming in slowly all right you would you take that thing over to Valvely anyway everything's fine we are here in the future we would like to congratulate the victor of the made event on SmackDown on March the 6th for the WWE title they made a major world title match after the pay-per-view on the post game show between Cody and Drew and obviously advertising for SmackDown that's a pretty big fucking match for SmackDown and we felt like something was up let's just say so the one thing this show again my god it's three hours just fast forwarding through it to get to this goddamn point was boring but they started the history package between these two guys at like 10 25 Eastern time and after the entrances and the introductions and the breaks and all that etc the bell rang at 20 minutes till they did 50 kill 50 minutes for that but this was one of the better obviously TV matches not only that they've had lately not only from a work standpoint but from a an import standpoint and except for you know what I I'll tell you what I wrote and then tell me Brian when I wrote it what spot came next I said no silliness nothing preposterous didn't bury the referee serious clear heel and baby face both guys over no stupid furniture what did they do get the tables they had a good match Cody was all over drew they did a jump start on the floor which was called for here it's a grudge match and Cody was all over him and then drew got some heat but Cody made it come back and as drew was bailing out he posted Cody's arm and started working the arm and these guys are both pros they they know what they're doing they're serious about it shit wasn't as I said neither bearing the referee or looking fucking phony and then they go outside Cody hit a big dive and Cody clears off the desk and they're going to do a deal where he tries the crossroads on the desk and I guess drew was going to reverse it for something and the desk collapsed under them and then the fans start chatting we want tables so they go just stop their match and go start looking under the ring for fucking tables it's come to this that the fans are mad even during good matches if you don't break furniture and I blame them they didn't need to do a move on the fucking announced desk and if I haven't gone out to the announced desk then they wouldn't have to stop everything and go under the ring and get a table and Cody was the one who found the table and pulled it out and then drew power bomb Cody through it so your baby face is an idiot but nevertheless that was it was unnecessary to go out and do anything with either table they were doing just fine but then they got back in the ring and then boom boom boom drew hit across roads it got a two count and then drew went for the claymore and Cody fucking blocked it and Cody hit a claymore and then they teased hitting Charles Robinson was the referee and they teased one time with one guy picked the other guy up and he swung him around and little nature Charles ducked the the feet and then the next time drew almost charged into him in the corner and then drew pulled the referee in front of him for croties croties crossed body off the ropes and like a crow Cody yeah like a crow and then he just kind of grazed him but Charles Robinson went down it was down for five minutes here's my thought is that the referee bump is best when it's out of nowhere no pun intended the RKO if you tease it now they're looking for it and then you tease it twice and then you actually do it what are the chances that something can accidentally happen after it's almost accidentally happened twice in a span of 45 seconds the referee bump is better when it comes out of nowhere and it doesn't look like he was waiting for it and you can't get too fancy not only are the referees not trained usually to the extent of most of the wrestlers but Charles Robinson 60 fucking years old so don't do something that you to make it look good either timing would have had to been perfect or you got a legitimately wipe him out squash him in the corner double knock out with a shoulder tackle somebody's splash or drop elbow accident whatever the fuck but nevertheless so Charles gets grazed by Cody and we we've seen the last time for the next four or five minutes there's a back and forth and Cody hits crossroads but the referees down so Cody's calling for the ref and a new ref and drew hits a kick and referee number two Rudy Charles comes in cover one to Cody kicks out and drew is mad and he's you know menacing the referee but then drew post Cody like twice and then turns around and head butts referee number two wouldn't that be a disqualification Brian I was going to say he didn't hit him from behind you hit him right to his face yes why wouldn't he have butted him yeah either referee got a real good look at fucking Drew's face right before it smashed into his head so if it's gotta the logic has to continue Dusty's finish was always a second referee comes in counts fucking pen but the first referee revives and has seen that his qualification this is this would have just been the opposite the point is why if he's head butted the referee now he should have been disqualified but now that referees out of the way so drew goes out and gets a chair draws back is going to hit Cody and five twos on the apron and grabs the chair away suddenly and snatches it and then Charles Robinson's back in and the match goes on and then drew misses a kick and Cody hits the cutter off the top and it's crossroads one two three and Cody is once again the champion going into WrestleMania but at exactly 11pm it it well it exactly no I think they went two minutes over I think they were because my DVR is said three of three minutes and or three minutes I wish three hours and two minutes or whatever but did we need this all the Zabada with the referee which just I thought was distracting and odd and unless they're going to make a big deal out of drew screaming why did why wasn't that as qualified when I head butted the referee and but seems like that would have been explained and been started somebody's all they should have disqualified him but now it's Cody and Orton for WrestleMania I said they were going to do it sooner or later and they I guess they decided with all the other problems they've had sooner is better than later let's see what they do I mean the potentials there the backgrounds there let's see if the angles are there and the promos are there Randy did a promo earlier in the show and it was just to me an average Randy Orton promo the kind of promo he's been doing under Vince McMahon for years nothing yet to really amp things up but there was ever a time they let Randy Orton loose a little bit and just not have him seem so programmed at
